The selenization process has been a promising method for low-cost and large-scale production of high quality CIGS film. However, there is the problem that most Ga in the CIGS film segregates near the Mo back contact. So the solar cell behaves like a $CuInSe_2$ and lacks the increased open-circuit voltage. In this study we investigated the Ga distribution in CIGS films by using the $Ga_2Se_3$ layer. The $Ga_2Se_3$ layer was applied on the Cu-In-Ga metal layer to increase Ga content at the surface of CIGS films and to restrict Ga diffusion to the CIGS/Mo interface with Ga and Se bonding. The layer made by thermal evaporation was showed to an amorphous $Ga_2Se_3$ layer in the result of AES depth profile, XPS and XRD measurement. As the thickness of $Ga_2Se_3$ layer increased, a small-grained CIGS film was developed and phase seperation was showed using SEM and XRD respectively. Ga distributions in CIGS films were investigated by means of AES depth profile. As a result, the [Ga]/[In+Ga] ratio was 0.2 at the surface and 0.5 near the CIGS/Mo interface when the $Ga_2Se_3$ thickness was 220 nm, suggesting that the $Ga_2Se_3$ layer on the top of metal layer is one of the possible methods for Ga redistribution and open circuit voltage increase.

팬 아웃 웨이퍼 레벨 패키지의 Cu 재배선층 적용을 위해 Ti 확산방지층과 폴리벤즈옥사졸(polybenzoxazole, PBO) 절연층 사이의 계면 신뢰성을 평가하였다. PBO 경화 온도 및 고온/고습 시간에 따라 4점 굽힘 시험으로 정량적인 계면접착에너지를 평가하였고, 박리계면을 분석하였다. 175, 200, 및 225℃의 세 가지 PBO 경화 온도에 따른 계면접착에너지는 각각 16.63, 25.95, 16.58 J/m² 로 200℃의 경화 온도에서 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 박리표면에 대한 X-선 광전자 분광분석 결과, 200℃에서 PBO 표면의 C-O 결합의 분율이 가장 높으므로, M-O-C 결합이 Ti/PBO 계면접착 기구와 연관성이 높은 것으로 판단된다. 200℃에서 경화된 시편을 85℃/85% 상대 습도에서 500시간 동안 고온/고습 처리 하는 동안 계면접착에너지는 3 .99 J/m²까지 크게 감소하였다. 이는 고온/고습 처리동안 Ti/PBO 계면으로의 지속적인 수분 침투로 인해 계면 근처 PBO의 화학결합이 약해져서 weak boundary layer를 형성하기 때문으로 판단된다.

Electromigration-induced void evolutions in typical upper and lower layer dual-inlaid Copper (Cu) interconnect structures were simulated by applying a phenomenological model resorting to Monte Carlo based simulations, which considers redistribution of heterogeneously nucleated voids and/or pre-existing vacancy clusters at the Copper/dielectric cap interface during electromigration. The results indicate that this model can qualitatively explain the electromigration-induced void evolutions observations in many studies reported by several researchers heretofore. These findings warrant need to re-investigate technologically important electromigration mechanisms by developing rigorous models based on similar concepts.

Using both experimental and theoretical approaches, we have investigated the adsorption properties of an organic molecule (HATCN), which is used in OLEDs as an efficient hole injection layer, on metal and inert surfaces. We have also studied the structural and electronic properties of such interfaces and the dependences on deposition thickness. We have observed different trends in work function changes with different surfaces. Our photoelectron spectroscopic measurements have revealed an abnormal phenomenon in HATCN on a metal (Cu) surface: the work function decreases at lower coverage (~monolayer) of HATCN on a metal (Cu) surface, but it increases back and becomes higher than that of a bare Cu surface at higher coverage. It has, on the contrary, been observed that the work function of graphene surface just increases as the HATCN coverage increases. Our first-principles density functional calculations has not only verified our experimental observations, but also disclosed the underlying mechanism of such abnormal and different work function behaviors. We have found that the change in work function results from mutual polarization induced by the geometrical deformation and the bond dipole formed at the interface due to the charge redistribution. At low coverage of HAT-CN on Cu substrate, the former reduces the work function significantly by pulling down the vacuum level, while the latter tends to push up the vacuum level resulting in the work function increase.

Fan-out wafer level packaging (FOWLP) 적용을 위한 최적의 Cu 재배선 계면접착에너지 측정방법을 도출하기 위해, 전기도금 Cu 박막과 WPR 절연층 계면의 정량적 계면접착에너지를 $90^{\circ}$ 필 테스트, 4점 굽힘 시험법, double cantilever beam (DCB) 측정법을 통해 비교 평가 하였다. 측정 결과, 세 가지 측정법 모두 배선 및 패키징 공정 후 박리가 일어나지 않는 산업체 통용 기준인 $5J/m^2$보다 높게 측정되었다. 또한, DCB, 4점 굽힘 시험법, $90^{\circ}$ 필 테스트 순으로 계면접착에너지가 증가하는 거동을 보였는데, 이는 계면파괴역학 이론에 의해 위상각 증가에 따라 이종재료 계면균열 선단의 전단응력성분 증가에 따른 소성변형에너지 및 계면 거칠기 증가 효과에 의한 것으로 설명이 가능하다. FOWLP 재배선에 대한 최적의 계면접착에너지 도출을 위해서는 시편제작 공정, 위상각 차이, 정량적 측정 정확도 및 결합력 크기 등을 고려하여 4점 굽힘 시험법 또는 DCB 측정법을 적절히 혼용 사용하는 것이 타당한 것으로 판단된다.
