RF 마그네트론 스퍼터에 의해 만들어진 AZO 박막을 기판의 화학적 특성에 따른 광학적 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. 기판은ICP-CVD방법으로 제작된 SiOC 박막으로 화학적 특성의 변화를 관찰하기 위해서 산소와 아르곤(DMDMOS)가스의 유량비를 다르게 하여 증착하였다. 아르곤의 유량이 증가할수록 Si-O 결합이 증가하였으며, 비정질구조가 증가되었다. 비정질도가 높은 SiOC 박막 위에 성장된 AZO 박막의 거칠기는 감소하였으며, 표면의 평탄도가 개선되었다. 더불어 비정질도가 높은 SiOC박막 위에 성장된 AZO 박막에서 자외선 영역의 방사 강도가 제일 높았다.

In this study, high-speed chemical dry thinning process of Si wafer and evolution of surface roughness were investigated. Direct injection of NO gas into the reactor during the supply of F radicals from $NF_3$ remote plasmas was very effective in increasing the Si thinning rate due to the NO-induced enhancement of surface reaction but thinned Si surface became roughened significantly. Addition of Ar gas, together with NO gas, decreased root mean square (RMS) surface roughness of thinned Si wafer significantly. The process regime for the thinning rate enhancement with reduced surface roughness was extended at higher Ar gas flow rate. Si wafer thinning rate as high as $22.8\;{\mu}m/min$ and root-mean-squared (RMS) surface roughness as small as 0.75 nm could be obtained. It is expected that high-speed chemical dry thinning process has possibility of application to ultra-thin Si wafer thinning with no mechanical damage.

The CrN/TiN/Al thin films for solar selective absorber were prepared by dc reactive magnetron sputtering with multi targets. The binary nitride CrN layer deposited with change in N₂ gas flow rates. The gas mixture of Ar and N2 was an important parameter during sputtering deposition because the metal volume fraction (MVF) was controlled by the N2 gas flow rate. In this study, the crystallinity and surface properties of the CrN/TiN/Al thin films were estimated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The composition and depth profile of thin films were investigated using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The absorptance and reflectance with wavelength spectrum were recorded by UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry at a range of 300~1,100 nm.

AIN thin films were prepared on amorphous glass and $SiO_2(1{\mu}m)/Si(100)$ substrate by the facing targets sputtering (FTS) apparatus, which can provide high density plasma, a high deposition rate at a low working gas pressure. The AIN thin films were deposited at a different nitrogen gas flow rate ($1.0{\sim}0.3$) and other sputtering parameters were fixed such as sputtering power of 200w, working pressures of 1mTorr and AIN thin film thickness of 800 nm, respectively. The thickness and crystallographic characteristics of AIN thin films as a function of $N_2$ gas flow rate $[N_2/(N_2+Ar)]$ were measured by $\alpha$-step and an X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument. And the c-axis preferred orientations were evaluated by rocking curve. In the results, we could prepared the AIN thin film with c-axis preferred orientation of about $5^{\circ}$ on substrate temperature R.T. at nitrogen gas flow rate 0.7.

플라스틱 기판에 적용이 가능한 최대 공정온도 $270^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 ZnO-TFT 소자를 제작하였다. ZnO-TFT 소자는 bottom gate 구조로 제작되었으며, ICP-CVD로 형성된 $SiO_2$ 산화물 게이트 공정을 제외하고는 모든 박막증착 공정은 RF-magnetron sputtering process를 이용하였다. ZnO 박막은 Ar과 $O_2$ gas 유량의 비율에 따라 여러 가지 조건에서 RF-magnetron sputtering 시스템을 이용하여 상온에서 증착하였다. Ar과 $O_2$ gas의 비율에 따라 제작된 TFT 소자는 모두 enhancement 모드의 소자특성을 나타내었고, 또한 가시광선영역에 있어 80% 이상의 높은 투과율을 보였다. ZnO 증착시 순수 Ar을 사용하여 제작된 ZnO-TFT의 경우에, $1.2\;cm^2/Vs$의 field effect mobility, 8.5 V의 threshold voltage, 그리고 $5{\times}10^5$의 높은 on/off ratio, 1.86 V/decade의 swing voltage로 가장 우수한 전기적 특성을 보였다.

The flow induced by a circular jet vertically impinging under a horizontal plate is investigated by visualization technique, using kerosene smoke in nitrogen gas to visualize the flow in the vortex as well as under the plate. The light source was the sheet beam of Ar-Ion laser. The vertical and 3-dimensional images of vortices were recorded by the digital video camera.

A streaming current in liquid generated by flow electrification in a pipe is very hazardous and has to be reduced before the liquid is put into a storage tank, it was measured in pipe (${\Phi}$: 0.5mm, 0.8mm length: 1.5-11cm), it was increased as increasing pressure of Ar gas and appeared a peak value at 5cm of pipe length in 4m/sec of flow velocity.

The discharge characteristics of inductively coupled $Ar/CH_4$ plasma were investigated by fluid simulation. The inductively coupled plasma source driven by 13.56 Mhz was prepared. Properties of $Ar/CH_4$ plasma source are investigated by fluid simulation including Navier-Stokes equations. The schematics diagram of inductively coupled plasma was designed as the two dimensional axial symmetry structure. Sixty six kinds of chemical reactions were used in plasma simulation. And the Lennard Jones parameter and the ion mobility for each ion were used in the calculations. Velocity magnitude, dynamic viscosity and kinetic viscosity were investigated by using the fluid equations. $Ar/CH_4$ plasma simulation results showed that the number of hydrocarbon radical is lowest at the vicinity of gas feeding line due to high flow velocity. When the input power density was supplied as $0.07W/cm^3$, CH radical density qualitatively follows the electron density distribution. On the other hand, central region of the chamber become deficient in CH3 radical due to high dissociation rate accompanied with high electron density.

In this study, chemical dry characteristics of silicon nitride layers were investigated in the $F_2/N_2/Ar$ remote plasma. A toroidal-type remote plasma source was used for the generation of remote plasmas. The effects of additive $N_2$ gas on the etch rates of various silicon nitride layers deposited using different deposition techniques and precursors were investigated by varying the various process parameters, such as the $F_2$ flow rate, the addition $N_2$ flow rate and the substrate temperature. The etch rates of the various silicon nitride layers at the room temperature were initially increased and then decreased with the $N_2$ flow increased, which indicates an existence of the maximum etch rates. The etch rates of the silicon oxide layers were also significantly increased with the substrate temperature increased. In the present experiments the $F_2$ gas flow, addition $N_2$ flow rate and the substrate temperature were found to be the critical parameters in determining the etch rate of the silicon nitride layers

ZnS is an attractive material for future optical and electrical devices since it has a direct and wide band gap to provide blue emission at room temperature. In this study, inductively coupled $BCl_3/Ar$ plasma was used to etch ZnS:Mn thin films. The maximum etch rate of 164.2 nm/min for ZnS:Mn was obtained at a $BCl_3(20)/Ar(80)$ gas mixing ratio, an rf power of 700 W, a dc bias voltage of -200V, a total gas flow of 20 sccm, and a chamber pressure of 1Pa. The etch behaviors of ZnS:Mn thin films under various plasma parameters showed that the ZnS:Mn were effectively removed by the chemically assisted physical etching mechanism. The surface reaction of the ZnS:Mn thin films was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The XPS analysis revealed that Mn had detected on the surface ZnS:Mn etched in $BCl_3/Ar$ plasma.
