Numerous possible applications for $ZrO_2$ nanotubes exist such as for catalyst support structures, for sensing or for applications as a solid state electrolyte. Especially, because of a large specific surface area, high efficiency for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) application at low temperature can be expected for nanotublar structures in even small size. A zirconium precursor, Tetrakis (ethylmethylamino) zirconium, TEMAZr and $H_2O$ oxidant were used to deposit$ZrO_2$ thin films on an anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) templates having sub-100nm cylindrical pores by atomic layer deposition (ALD) in the temperature range of 150~250$^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structures of as-prepared and post-annealed $ZrO_2$ nanotubes were characterized by x-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The as-prepared samples at $150^{\circ}C$ and $200^{\circ}C$ were showed amorphous, whereas a mixed phase of tetragonal, monoclinic and amorphous polymorph was observed at $250^{\circ}C$. In the bulk, zirconia remains monoclinic phase up to $1,175^{\circ}C$, however, $ZrO_2$ nanotubes were showed tetragonal phase upon post thermal treatments merely at $400^{\circ}C$. This trend may be indicative of high-curvature surfaces of nanotubes and thereby the presence of intrinsic compressive strain. The amount of amorphous structures in the mixed phase as well as as-grown $ZrO_2$ nanotubes were also gradually decreased by subsequent heat treatment.

Density functional theory was used to investigate the adsorption and reaction of $HfCl_4$ with two hydroxyls on Si (001)-$2{\times}1$ surface in atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. We prepared a reasonable Si substrate which consisted of six inter-dimer dissociated $H_2O$ molecules and two intra-dimer dissociated $H_2O$ molecules. The $HfCl_4$must react with two hydroxyls to be a bulk-like structure. When $HfCl_4$ was adsorbed on a hydroxyl, there was energy benefit of -0.55 eV. Though there was energy loss for $HfCl_4$ to react with H of hydroxyl, thermal energy of ALD chamber would be enough to pass the energy barriers. There were five reaction pathways for $HfCl_4$ to react with two hydroxyls; inter-dimer, intra-dimer, cross-dimer, inter-row, and cross-row. Inter-row, inter-dimer and intra-dimer were relatively favorable among the five reaction pathways based on the energy difference. The electron densities between O and Hf in these three reactions were higher than the others and they had shorter Hf-O and O-O bond lengths than the other two reaction pathways.

We examined the microstructure and optical properties of crystallized ~30 nm-ZnO/~10 nm amorphous $TiO_2$ nano bilayered films as nano electrodes were deposited at extremely low substrate temperatures of $150-210^{\circ}C$. The bilayered films were deposited on silicon substrates with 10 cm diameters by ALD (atomic layer deposition) using DEZn (diethyl zinc(Zn(C2H5)2)) and TDMAT (tetrakis dimethyl-amid $titanium(Ti(N(CH_3)_2)_4)$ as the ZnO and $TiO_2$ precursors, respectively, and $H_2O$ as the oxidant. The microstructure, phase, and optical properties of the bilayered films were examined by FE-SEM, TEM, XRD, AES, and UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy. FE-SEM and TEM showed that all bilayered films were deposited very uniformly and showed crystallized ZnO and amorphous $TiO_2$ layers. AES depth profiling showed that the ZnO and $TiO_2$ films had a stoichiometric composition of 1:1 and 1:2, respectively. These bilayered films have optical absorption properties in a wide range of ultraviolet wavelengths, 250-390 nm, whereas the single ZnO and $TiO_2$ films showed an absorption range of 350-380nm.

반도체 산업이 성장하고 기술이 향상됨에 따라 소자의 소형화가 이루어지고 있다. 공정법으로는 atomic layer deposition (ALD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) 등이 있다. 이러한 공정을 이용하여 수십 nm까지 미세화가 진행되고 있으며, 복잡한 구조의 박막을 실현하기 위해 전구체의 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 전구체의 특성을 비실시간으로 분석하는 방법으로는 질량 분석법, 가스크로마토그래피, 적외선 분광법 등이 있다. 전구체의 특성을 실시간으로 분석하기 위해 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)내에 attenuated total reflectance (ATR)를 거치시켰다. 본 연구는 구조를 개선한 ATR-FTIR을 이용하여 Tris-(dimethylamino) Zirconium (CpZr) 전구체의 흡착 거동을 분석하였다. ATR용 crystal은 Ge crystal을 사용했으며, 온도를 각각 30, 40, $50^{\circ}C$에서 CpZr 전구체의 흡착특성을 연구했다. 흡착성을 증가시키기 위해 Ge crystal 표면에 $ZrO_2$나노입자를 분포시켜 흡착특성을 비교 분석하였다. 또한 CpZr 전구체가 흡착된 Ge crystal 표면에 오존가스를 주입시킨 후 변화를 관찰하였다. Ge crystal표면에 나노입자를 분포시켜 CpZr 전구체를 흡착한 결과 나노입자를 분포시키지 않았을 때 보다 흡착강도가 높게 나타났다. 또한 CpZr 전구체가 흡착된 Ge crystal 표면에 오존가스를 주입한 결과 C-H 결합이 분해됨을 확인했다.

$TiO_2$-Ni inverse catalysts were prepared using atomic layer deposition (ALD) process and catalytic $CO_2$ reforming of methane (CRM) reaction over catalysts (either bare Ni or $TiO_2$ coated-Ni particles) were performed using a continuous flow reactor at $800^{\circ}C$. $TiO_2$-Ni inverse catalyst showed higher catalytic reactivity at initial stage of CRM reactions at $800^{\circ}C$ comparing to bare Ni catalysts. Moreover, catalytic activity of $TiO_2$/Ni catalyst was kept high during 13 hrs of the CRM reactions at $800^{\circ}C$, whereas deactivation of bare Ni surface was started within 1hr under same conditions. The results of surface analysis using SEM, XPS, and Raman showed that deposition of graphitic carbon was effectively suppressed in a presence of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles on Ni surface, thereby improving catalytic reactivity and stability of $TiO_2$/Ni catalytic systems. We suggest that utilizing decoration effect of metal catalyst with oxide nanoaprticles is of great potential to develop metal-based catalysts with high stability and reactivity.

알루미늄을 이용한 배선은 반도체 소자가 초집적화와 초소고속화 됨에 따라, 피로현상과 지연시간 등 배선으로서의 많은 문제점을 가지고 있어, 차세대 배선 재료로서 전기적인 특성 등이 우수한 구리에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 구리는 낮은 온도에서 확산이 잘되어 배선 층간의 절연에 문제점을 야기 시킨다. 따라서, 구리를 배선에 적용하여 신뢰성 있는 제품을 만들기 위해서는 확산방지막이 필요하다. 확산방지막은 집적화와 더불어 배선의 두께가 줄어 듦에 따라 소자의 특성에 영향을 미치지 않는 범위 내에서 저항은 낮고, 두께는 얇아야 하며, 높은 종횡비를 갖는 구조에서도 균일한 박막을 형성하여야 하므로, 원자층 증착공정을 이용한 연구가 주를 이루고 있다. 텅스텐 질화막을 이용한 확산방지막은 WF6 전구체를 이용한 보고가 많지만, 높은 증착 온도와 부산물로 인한 부식가능성 이라는 문제점을 안고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는, 기존의 할라이드 계열을 이용한 원자층 증착공정의 단점을 보완하기 위하여, 아마이드 계열의 전구체를 사용하여 텅스텐 질화막을 형성하였으며, 이를 통해 공정온도를 낮출 수 있었다.

Transparent thin film transistors (TTFT) were fabricated on $N^+$ Si wafers. $SiO_2$, $Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ and $Al_2O_3/SiO_2$ grown on the wafers were used as gate insulators. The rf magnetron sputtered zinc tin oxide (ZTO) films were adopted as active layers. $N^+$ Si wafers were wet-oxidized to grow $SiO_2$. $Si_3N_4$ and $Al_2O_3$ films were deposited on the $SiO_2$ by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD), respectively. The mobility, $I_{on}/I_{off}$ and subthreshold swing (SS) were obtained from the transfer characteristics of TTFTs. The properties of gate insulators were analyzed by comparing the characteristics of TTFTs. The property variation of the ZTO TTFTs with time were observed.

The barrier characteristics of ZrN films deposited by remote plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition(PEALD) using TDEAZ and $N_2$ remote plasma have been investigated under various deposition conditions such as temperatures, plasma power and processing pressures. ZrN films showed generally improved properties as the processing temperature, pressure and plasma power increased. The optimized processing temperature, plasma power and pressure were $300^{\circ}C$, 200 Watt and 1 torr. respectively ZrN films deposited at the optimized processing conditions showed the carbon contents and resistivity of $6at.\%$ and $400{\mu}{\Omega}cm$ respectively.

$TiO_2$ nanoparticles were grown on carbon fiber by atomic later deposition (ALD) with TTIP $(Ti(OCH(CH_3)_2)_4$ and $H_2O$ precusors. After sampe surfaces were treated by electron beam (1 MeV, 5 KGy), an improvement in the photocatalytic reacitivity of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles on carbon fiber was observed. An increase in the population of hydroxyl group on $TiO_2$ particles and the oxidation of carbon fiber were found upon e-beam exposure, whereas there was no noticeable changes of their morphology. It implies that those changes in O and C 1s state of $TiO_2$ particles/carbon fiber induced by e-beam treatment could be related to the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity. In contrast, when carbon fiber fully covered with $TiO_2$ thick films was treated with high-energy electron beam under same conditions, the improvement of photocatalytic activity as well as any changes in XPS spectra (Ti 2p, O 1s and C 1s) could not be found.
