In this paper, we report the changes of morphology, transmittance and photoluminescence (PL) in hydrogenated amorphous $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ thin films, thermally deposited at the vapor incidence angles (${\theta}$) of $0^{\circ},\;45^{\circ}\;and\;80^{\circ}$. The hydrogenation was carried out under the condition of a $H_2$ pressure ($P_H$) of 20 atm and an annealing temperature range, $T_{Anneal}$ of $150^{\circ}C{\sim}210^{\circ}C$. A columnar structures with an inclination angle of approximately $65{\sim}70^{\circ}$ was formed in $80^{\circ}$-deposited films and then the columnar was broken after hydrogenation. Transmittance increases with an increase of deposition angle and by the hydrogenation. In particular, a broad PL band on the extended region is observed in obliquely deposited films and it increases during the hydrogenation.

MI(Magneto-Impedance) sensor which is made by thin films has significantly high detecting sensitivity in weak magnetic field. It also has a merit to be able to build in low power system. Its structure is simple, which makes it easier to prepare a miniature. In this study, its magnetic permeability and anisotropy field(H$\sub$k/) as a function of a thickness of sputtered amorphous CoZrNb thin film with high saturation magnetostriction and excellent soft magnetic property are investigated. In order to make a uniaxial anisotropy, thin film was subjected to post annealing with a static magnetic field with 1KOe intensity at 250, 300, and 320$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hour. Anisotropy field(H$\sub$k/)of thin film is measured by using MH loop tracer. Its magnetic permeability of thin film is measured over the frequency range from 1 MHz to 750MHz. It has shown that the magnetic permeability of amorphous CoZrNb thin film is decreased due to the skin effect with increasing a thickness of CoZrNb thin film, and hence its driving frequency is lowered.

Amorphous zinc tin oxide (ZTO) thin films are being widely studied for a variety electronic applications such as the transparent conducting oxide (TCO) in the field of photoelectric elements and thin film transistors (TFTs). Thin film transistors (TFTs) with transparent amorphous oxide semiconductors (TAOS) represent a major advance in the field of thin film electronics. Examples of TAOS materials include zinc tin oxide (ZTO), indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), indium zinc oxide, and indium zinc tin oxide. Among them, ZTO has good optical and electrical properties (high transmittance and larger than 3eV band gap energy). Furthermore ZTO does not contain indium or gallium and is relatively inexpensive and non-toxic. In this study, ZTO thin films were formed by UHV RF magnetron co-sputter deposition on silicon substrates and sapphires. The films were deposited from ZnO and SnO2 target in an RF argon and oxygen plasma. The deposition condition of ZTO thin films were controlled by RF power and post anneal temperature using rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The deposited and annealed films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM), ultraviolet and visible light (UV-VIS) spectrophotometer.

Fluorinated amorphous carbon thin films (a-C:F) for the use of low dielectric constant intermetallic layer dielectrics are deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition with $C_4$F$_{8}$ and Si$_2$H$_{6}$/He gas mixture as precursors. To characterize and improve film properties, we changed various conditions such as deposition temperature, and RF power, and we measured the thickness and refractive indexes and FT-IR spectrum before and after annealing. At low temperatures the film properties were very poor although the growth rate was very high. On the other hand, the growth rate was low at high temperature. The growth rate increased in accordance with the deposition pressure. The dielectric constants of samples were in the range of 1.5∼5.5∼5.

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) comprising amorphous CoNbZr layers have been investigated. $Co_{85.5}Nb_8Zr_{6.5}$(in at. %) layers were employed to substitute the traditionally used Ta layers with an emphasis given on under-standing underlayer effect. The typical junction structure was $SiO_2/CoNbZr$ or Ta 2/CoFe 8/IrMn 7.5/CoFe 3/Al 1.6 + oxidation/CoFe 3/CoNbZr or Ta 2 (nm). For both as-deposited state and after annealing, the CoNbZr-underlayered structure showed superior surface smoothness up to the tunnel barrier than Ta-underlayerd one (rms roughness of 0.16 vs. 0.34 nm). CoNbZr-based MTJs was proven beneficial for increasing thermal stability and increasing $V_h$ (the bias voltage where MR ratio becomes half) characteristics than Ta-based MTJs. This is because the CoNbZr-based junctions offer smoother interface structure than the Ta-based one.

LPCVD로 $560^{\circ}C$와 $650^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 실리콘 박막을 제작하였다. 온도에 따른 천이온도를 살펴보았으며, 비정질로 제작된 실리콘 박막을 $900^{\circ}C$와 $1100^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하였다. 제작된 박막에 대해서 XRD, SEM, ellipsometer, $Tektak^3$, Tencer FLX-2320등 그 외 장비를 사용하여, 박막의 결정 방향, 표면 거칠기, 활성화 에너지, 잔류 응력 등을 조사하였다. 본 실험을 통해 $560^{\circ}C$에서 비정질로 증착시키고 $900^{\circ}C$ -$1100^{\circ}C$ 열처리 통해 얻은 다결정실리콘 박막은 처음부터 다결정으로 제작한 박막에 비해 낮은 잔류 응력과 표면 거칠기를 보였다.

In the advanced material for the next generation display device, transparent amorphous oxide semiconductors (TAOS) are promising materials as a channel layer in thin film transistor (TFT). The TAOS have many advantages for large-area application compared with hydrogenated amorphous silicon TFT (a-Si:H) and organic semiconductor TFT. For the reasonable characteristics of TAOS, The a-IGZO has the excellent performances such as low temperature fabrication (R.T~), high mobility, visible region transparent, and reasonable on-off ratio. In this study, we investigated how the electric characteristics and physical properties are changed as various oxygen ratio when magnetron sputtering. we analysis a-IGZO film by AFM, EDS and I-V measurement. decreasing the oxygen ratio, the threshold voltage is shifted negatively and mobility is increasing. Through this correlation, we confirm the effect of oxygen ratio. We fabricated the bottom-gate a-IGZO TFTs. The gate insulator, SiO2 film was grown on heavily doped silicon wafer by thermal oxidation method. a-IGZO channel layer was deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. and the annealing condition is $350^{\circ}C$. Electrode were patterned Al deposition through a shadow mask(160/1000 um).

다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터를 만들기 위해 가장 많이 사용되는 제작방법은 비정질 실리콘을 기판에 형성한 뒤 결정화 시키는 방법이다. 고온에서 장시간 열처리하는 고상 결정화(SPC)와 레이저를 이용한 결정화(ELA)가 자주 사용되어진다. 그러나 SPC의 경우는 고온에서 장시간 열처리하기 때문에 유리 기판이 변형될 수 있고 ELA의 경우 장비가격이 비싸고 표면일 불균일하다는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 화학 기상 증착법(저온 공정)을 이용하여 비정질 실리콘 박막을 증착 시키고, 이를 금속 촉매를 이용하여 금속 유도 결정화 방법(MIC)으로 결정화 시키는 공정을 이용하였다. 유리 기판 상부에 버퍼 층을 형성한 후 플라즈마 화학 기상 증착법(PECVD)을 이용하여 비정질 실리콘을 증착하고 Ni-solution을 이용하여 얇게 Ni 코팅하고 그 시료를 약 $650^{\circ}C$의 Rapid Thermal Annealing(RTA) 공정을 이용하여 비정질 실리콘을 다결정 실리콘으로 결정화 시키는 연구를 진행하였다. Ni 코팅시간은 20분, RTA 공정은 5시간의 진행시간을 거쳐야 최적의 결정화 정도를 만들어낸다.

n-type crystalline silicon wafers were passivated with intrinsic a-Si:H thin films on both sides using HWCVD. Minority carrier lifetime measurement was used to verify interface passivation properties between a-Si:H thin film and crystalline Si wafer. Thin film interface characteristics were investigated depending on $H_2/SiH_4$ ratio and hot wire deposition temperature. Vacuum annealing were processed after deposition a-Si:H thin films on both sides to investigate thermal effects from post process steps. We noticed the effect of interface passivation properties according to $H_2/SiH_4$ ratio and hot wire deposition temperature, and we had maximum point of minority carrier lifetime at H2/SiH4 10 ratio and $1600^{\circ}C$ wire temperature.
