반도체에 대한 수요가 늘어남에 따라 반도체 칩 생산을 위한 웨이퍼 공정 및 평판 디스플레이 제조 공정에서 수백~수십 나노 단위 크기의 트랜지스터, 커패시터 등의 회로소자 제조를 요구하고 있다. 이에 따라 반도체 공정의 미세화가 10nm 이하까지 다다랐고 이로 인해 수율과 신뢰성 측면에서 파티클, 금속입자, 잔류이온 등 진공챔버 내부의 오염원 제거 중요성이 점점 증가하고 있다. 이러한 오염원 제거를 위해서 과거에는 진공 챔버를 개방하여 액상물질로 주기적인 세정을 하였으나 2000년대 초반부터 생산성 향상을 위해 진공 상태에서 건식 세정하는 원격 플라즈마 발생장치(Remote Plasma Generator, RPG)를 개발하여 공정에 적용 해 왔다. 건식 세정을 위해서 화학적 반응성이 높은 고밀도의 라디칼이 필요하고 이를 위해 플라즈마를 이용하여 라디칼을 생성한다. RPG는 안테나 형태의 기존 유도 결합 플라즈마 (Inductively Coupled Plasma, ICP) 방식에 자성코어(Ferrite Core)를 추가함으로써 고밀도 플라즈마 생성이 가능하다. 본 세션에서는 이러한 건식세정과 관련된 플라즈마 기술 소개, 플라즈마 발생장치의 종류 및 효과적인 건식 세정을 위한 원격 플라즈마 발생장치를 소개하고자 한다.

Three dimensional (3D) packaging is a next-generation packaging technology that vertically stacks chips such as memory devices. The necessity of 3D packaging is driven by the increasing demand for smaller, high-performance electronic devices (HPC, AI, HBM). Also, it facilitates innovative applications across another fields. With growing demand for high-performance devices, companies of semiconductor fields are trying advanced packaging techniques, including 2.5D and 3D packaging, MR-MUF, and hybrid bonding. These techniques are essential for achieving higher chip integration, but challenges in mass production and fine-pitch bump connectivity persist. Advanced bonding technologies are important for advancing the semiconductor industry. In this review, it was described 3D packaging technologies for chip integration including mass reflow, thermal compression bonding, laser assisted bonding, hybrid bonding.

An OpenLDI receiver circuit for flat-panel display systems was designed and fabricated using $1.8-{\mu}m$ high-voltage CMOS technology. Designed circuit roughly consists of DLL circuit and parallelizers, which recovers clock and parallelize data bits, respectably. It has one clock input and four data inputs. Measurement results showed that it successfully recovers clock signal from input whose frequency is $10Mhz{\sim}65Mhz$, which corresponds data rate of $70Mbps{\sim}455Mbps$ per channel, or $280Mbps{\sim}1.82Gbps$ when all of the four data channels were utilized. A commercial LCD monitor was modified into a test-bench and used for video data transmission at clock frequency of 49Mhz. In the experiment, power consumption was 19mW for core block and 82.5mW for output buffer.

In this paper, a 5Gb/s receiver with an adaptive equalizer for serial link interfaces is proposed. For effective gain control, a least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm was implemented with two internal signals of slicers instead of output node of an equalizing filter. The scheme does not affect on a bandwidth of the equalizing filter. It also can be implemented without passive filter and it saves chip area and power consumption since two internal signals of slicers have a similar DC magnitude. The proposed adaptive equalizer can compensate up to 25dB and operate in various environments, which are 15m shield-twisted pair (STP) cable for DisplayPort and FR-4 traces for backplane. This work is implemented in $0.18-{\mu}m$ 1-poly 4-metal CMOS technology and occupies $200{\times}300{\mu}m^2$. Measurement results show only 6mW small power consumption and 2Gbps operating range with fabricated chip. The equalizer is expected to satisfy up to 5Gbps operating range if stable varactor(RF) is supported by foundry process.

Micro light-emitting diodes (LEDs), with a chip size of 100 micrometers or less, have attracted significant attention in flexible displays, augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), and bio-medical applications as next-generation light sources due to their outstanding electrical, optical, and mechanical performance. In the realm of bio-medical devices, it is crucial to transfer tiny micro LED chips onto desired flexible substrates with low precision errors, high speed, and high yield for practical applications on various parts of the human body, including someone's face and organs. This paper aims to introduce a fabrication process for flexible micro LED devices and propose micro LED transfer techniques for cosmetic and medical applications. Flexible micro LED technology holds promise for treating skin disorders, cancers, and neurological diseases.

최근의 디스플레이 시장에서는 고효율 저전력, 자발광 소자인 OLED가 차세대 디스플레이 시장의 블루칩으로써 연구되고 개선되어 왔다. 고효율, 고휘도 구현이 가능한 OLED 소자는 초기 발광 시 수명감소, 저전류 구동 효율 개선 및 소자의 유기 재료 개선의 문제점에 직면해 있기 때문에 많은 가능성을 아직 현실화 하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전기적 스트레스를 가한 OLED 소자의 전기적, 광학적 성질을 측정함으로써 열화에 따른 소자의 특성 변화를 확인하여 문제점을 개선하는데 기여하고자 한다. $2{\times}2$ inch Glass에 $2{\times}2$ mm 크기의 발광면적을 갖는 Red OLED 소자를 제작한 후 Source Measure Unit을 이용, 8 V의 과전압을 72시간 동안 인가하여 소자의 열화현상을 가속시켰다. 이후 I-V-L 장비를 이용하여 전기적 특성 및 휘도 특성을 측정하였다. 측정된 결과는 휘도가 8 V에서 10,620 cd/$m^2$ ＞ 9,849 cd/$m^2$ (약 7.2% 감소)로 변화한 것을 확인 하였으며, 휘도 효율과 전력 효율을 측정해본 결과 8 V 에서의 소비전력 효율 역시 16%에서 ＞ 15%로(약 1%감소) 변화하였으나 안정적으로 발광이 유지되는 3 V~6 V 구간에서는 효율이 약 13%가 감소하였다. 또한 휘도 효율은 8 V 기준으로 1% , 3 V~6 V 구간에서는 약 8% 감소하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통하여 OLED 소자의 열화 현상은 소자의 휘도 감소뿐만 아니라 소비전력증가, 열화현상의 촉진으로 이어지는 것으로 확인 되었다.

The multi channel of DDI which is the core part of the LCD-TV has been propelled. When multi channel in DDI is introduced, it brings a thermal problem because of the increased power. To solve the thermal problem of the DDI it needs to be investigated each at the package level and module level. It is important to extract the junction temperature(Tj) of DDI clearly from the system level. The objective of this research is to construct a compact model. The compact model is to reduce LCD module including DDI. When the compact model is used, it will be able to easily handle the boundary condition and accurately predict the temperature. Consequently, the temperature of DDI can be calculated easily at the system level. Through this research,we also proposed the cooling plan of DDI for a protection of overheating. The cooling plan was utilized in DDI design.
