Titanium Nitride (TiN) was deposited onto the SKH9 tool steels by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using a gaseous mixture of TiCl4, N2, and H2. The effects of the deposition temperature and input gas composition on the deposition rate, microstructure, preferred orientation, microhardness and wear resistance of TiN deposits were studied. The experimental results showed that the TiN deposition is thermally activated process with an apparent activation energy of about 27Kcal/mole in the temperature range between 1200$^{\circ}$K and 1400$^{\circ}$K. As H2/N2 gas input ratio increased, the deposition rate increased, showed maximum at H2/N2 gas input ratio of 1.5 and then decreased. Mechanical properties such as microhardness and wear resistance have close relation with the microstructure and preferred orientation of TiN deposits. It is suggested that the equiaxed structure with random orientation increases the microhardness and wear resistance of TiN deposits.

Silicon carbide (SiC) films were deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) using MTS (CH3SICl3) in a hydrogen atmosphere onto graphite substrates. Depletion effects of reactants which usually occur in the hot wall horizaontal reactor were increased with deposition temperature and pressure. Below 50 torr of total pressure (111) plane was preferenctially grown irrespectrive of deposition temperature and deposition site. Over 50 torr of total pressure however (220) plane was preferentially deposited under 130$0^{\circ}C$ and at inlet site. The surface morphologies of SiC films were uniform at all deposition sites under low pressure but greatly changed with pressure. It shows that a facet structure which was formed above 125$0^{\circ}C$ played an important role in the changed of preferred orientation and surface roughness.

The $SiH_4$ soak step is widely used during the CVD Tungsten(W) plug deposition process on the Ti/TiN barrier metal to prevent the $WF_6$ attack to the underlayer metal. We tried to reduce or skip the time of $SiH_4$ soak process to optimize W-plug deposition process on Via. The electrical characteristics including Via resistance and the structure of W film are affected according to $SiH_4$ soak time. The elimination possibility of $SiH_4$ soak process was confirmed in the case of that the CVD W film grows on the stable Ti/TiN underlayer.

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cells which are fabricated by photo-chemical vapor deposition (photo-CVD) system has been investigated. In the photo-CVD system which consists of three separate reaction chambers, low-pressure mercury lamp has been used as a light source. The main reactant ($Si_2H_6/He$) gases which are premixed with a small amount of mercury vapor in a mercury-vaporizer kept at $50^{\circ}C$ have been used. Using $C_2H_2$ and $SiH_2(CH_3)_2$ as the carbon source, p-type wide band gap a-SiC:H films have been obtained. The result has been found that the undoped layers of the pin/substrate solar cells are influenced by the residual impurities, such as phosphorus and boron during the deposition process. By minimizing the effect of the impurities in the i-layer and optimizing conditions at the p-layer and p/i interface, the energy conversion efficiency of 9.61 % under AM-1 ($100mW/Cm^2$) has been achieved for pin/substrate solar cells illuminated through their p-layers, using the three separate reaction chamber apparatus. It is expected that a-SiC:H solar cells with the energy conversion efficiency over 10% have been fabricated by Photo-CVD method.

Background: We investigated the current characteristics of a thin-film Ag electrode on a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond. The CVD diamond is widely recognized as a radiation detection material because of its high tolerance against high radiation, stable response to various dose rates, and good sensitivity. Additionally, thin-film Ag has been widely used as an electrode with high electrical conductivity. Materials and Methods: Considering these properties, the thin-film Ag electrode was deposited onto CVD diamonds with varied deposition thicknesses (${\fallingdotseq}50/98/152/257nm$); subsequently, the surface thickness, surface roughness, leakage current, and photo-current were characterized. Results and Discussion: The leakage current was found to be very low, and the photo-current output signal was observed as stable for a deposited film thickness of 98 nm; at this thickness, a uniform and constant surface roughness of the deposited thin-film Ag electrode were obtained. Conclusion: We found that a CVD diamond radiation detector with a thin-film Ag electrode deposition thickness close to 100 nm exhibited minimal leakage current and yielded a highly stable output signal.

The rf plasma chemical vapor deposition is a common method employed for diamond or amorphous carbon deposition. Diamond possesses the strongest bonding, as exemplified by a number of unique properties-extraordinary hardness, high thermal conductivity, and a high melting tempera tore. Therefore, it is very important to investigate the synthesis of semiconducting diamond and its use as semiconductor devices. An inductively coupled rf plasma CVD system for producing amorphous carbon films were developed. Uniform temperature and concentration profiles are requisites for the deposition of high quality large-area films. The system consists of rf matching network, deposition chamber, pumping lines for gas system. Gas mixtures with methane, and hydrogen have been used and Si (100) wafers used as a substrate. Amorphous carbon films were deposited with methane concentration of 1.5% at the process pressure of S torr~20 torr, and process temperature of about $750^{\circ}C$. The nucleation and growth of the amorphous carbon films have been characterized by several methods such as SEM and XRD.

라텍스 고무의 기계적 성질과 생체적합성 등의 표면특성을 개선하기 위하여 3가지 종류의 패럴린(PA-N, PA-C 및 PA-D)을 라텍스 고무 표면에 증착하였다. 패럴린 증착은 화학기상증착법(chemical vaper deposition)법을 이용하였으며, 증착필름의 표면특성을 조사하였다. 증착 후 열처리에 의한 증착 필름의 기계적 성질 변화를 조사하였다. 패럴린 증착 필름과 라텍스 고무와의 접착력은 PA-C와 PA-D 모두 우수하였다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 PA-N의 경우는 접촉각이 커져 보다 소수성 쪽으로 변화는 경향을 보였으며, PA-C와 PA-D는 친수성에 가까운 쪽으로 변화하였다. 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 인장강도는 증가하고 연신율은 감소하였다. CVD법으로 증착된 패럴린 박막은 우수한 생체적합성을 나타내었다.

We report the chemical vapor deposition growth characteristics of graphene on various catalytic metal substrates such as Ni, Fe, Ag, Au, and Pt. 50-nm-thick metal films were deposited on $SiO_2/Si$ substrates using dc magnetron sputtering. Graphene was synthesized on the metal/$SiO_2$/Si substrates with $CH_4$ gas (1 SCCM) diluted in mixed gases of 10% $H_2$ and 90 % Ar (99 SCCM) using inductively-coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD). The highest quality of graphene film was achieved on Ni and Fe substrates at $900^{\circ}C$ and 500 W of ICP power. Ni substrate seemed to be the best catalytic material among the tested materials for graphene growth because it required the lowest growth temperature ($600^{\circ}C$) as well as showing a low ICP power of 200W. Graphene films were successfully grown on Ag, Au, and Pt substrates as well. Graphene was formed on Pt substrate within 2 sec, while graphene film was achieved on Ni substrate over a period of 5 min of growth. These results can be understood as showing the direct CVD growth of graphene with a highly efficient catalytic reaction on the Pt surface.

화학기상증착 방법에 의한 다결정 다이아몬드 박막성장을 위한 공정가운데 가장 많이 사용되는 기법중의 하나가 바로 플라즈마에 의한 방법이다. 특히 플라즈마 화학기상증착(Plasma-Enhanced CVD)기술에 의한 다이아몬드 박막응용은 그 공정에 대한 세부 조정을 통하여 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다. 다이아몬드 박막증착의 경우 중요 변수들은 다이아몬드 필름이 증착되는 기판(substrate)의 온도, $CH_4/H_2$가스비율, 전체가스 압력 및 가스 excitation에너지 등이다. 분광 ellipsometry는 다이아몬드 필름 증착과 관련된 극단적인 환경에서도 물리적인 접촉이나 만들어지는 샘플의 손상없이도 필름자체의 여러 성질뿐만 아니라 기초 샘플의 온도까지도 결정할 수 있는 좋은 방법이다. 이러한 장점들을 이용하여 양질의 다이아몬드 박막을 성장시키기 위한 조건과 그에 따른 박막 특성을 얻기 위하여 분광 ellipsomerry의 사용과 해석이 소개된다. 그리고, 분광 ellipsometry를 이용, 플라즈마 화학기상증착 기술에 의하여 성장되는 다이아몬드 박막으로부터 나타나는 중요 변수들이 결정될 것이며 이러한 변수들은 필름의 두께, 필름에 포함되는 void 및 비다이아몬드의 체적비와, 그들의 시간에 따른 변화등을 포함한다. 그리고 샘플이 원하는 두께까지 성장된 후에 라만 분광기로 측정되어 다이아몬드 성분을 확인한다.
