FIB equipment can perform sputtering and chemical vapor deposition simultaneously. It is very advantageously used to fabricate a micro structure part having 3D shape because the minimum beam size of ${\phi}$ 10nm and smaller is available. Currently FIB is not being applied in the fabrication of this micro part because of some problems to redeposition and charging effect of the substrate causing reduction of accuracy with regards to shape and productivity. Furthermore, the prediction of the material removal rate information should be required but it has been insufficient for micro part fabrication. The paper have the targets that are FIB-CVD characteristic analysis and minimum line pattern resolution achievement fur 3D micro fabrication. We make conclusions with the analysis of the results of the experiment according to beam current, pattern size and scanning parameters. CVD of 8 pico ampere shows superior CVD yield but CVD of 1318 pico ampere shows the pattern sputtered. And dwell time is dominant parameter relating to CVD yield.

The semiconductor industry faces physical limitations due to its top-down manufacturing processes. High cost of EUV equipment, time loss during tens or hundreds of photolithography steps, overlay, etch process errors, and contamination issues owing to photolithography still exist and may become more serious with the miniaturization of semiconductor devices. Therefore, a bottom-up approach is required to overcome these issues. The key technology that enables bottom-up semiconductor manufacturing is area-selective atomic layer deposition (ASALD). Here, various ASALD processes for elemental metals, such as Co, Cu, Ir, Ni, Pt, and Ru, are reviewed. Surface treatments using chemical species, such as self-assembled monolayers and small-molecule inhibitors, to control the hydrophilicity of the surface have been introduced. Finally, we discuss the future applications of metal ASALD processes.

Ferroelectric $Bi_{3.35}Sm_{0.65}Ti_3O_{12}(BST)$ thin films were deposited on $Pt(111)/Ti/SiO_2/Si(100)$ substrates by a sol-gel spin-coating process. In this experiments, $Bi(TMHD)_3$, $Sm_5(O^iPr)_{13}$, $Ti(O^iPr)_4$ were used as precursors, which were dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol. Thereafter, the thin films with the thickness, of 240nm were annealed from 600 to $720^{\circ}C$ in oxygen atmosphere for 1 hr, and post-annealed in oxygen atmosphere for 1 hr after deposition of Pt electrode to enhance the electrical properties. The remanent polarization and coercive voltage of the BST thin films annealed at $720^{\circ}C$ were $19.48\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 3.40 V, respectively, and a fatigue-free characteristics. As a result, Sm-substituted bismuth titanate films with good ferroelectric properties and excellent fatigue resistance are useful candidates for ferroelectric memory applications.

We prepared Al doped ZnO/Ag/Al doped ZnO on the polymer substrate by Facing Target Sputtering (FTS). FTS featured Facing Target Sputtering featured that deposition is stable at the low pressure, it has high plasma density and suppresses the substrate damage from energetic particles. We fixed to 50nm up and down thickness of AZO layer, respectively and that of intermediate Ag layer was adjusted with deposition time. In the result, AZO/Ag/AZO multilayer thin films have much better electrical conductivity than AZO single layer thin film. As increasing the thickness of Ag layer, the transmittance decreased.

반도체를 만드는데 있어서 여러가지 박막을 형성하는 공정이 있다. 이때 가장 많이 쓰이는 방법이 CVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition)방법이나 PVD(Physical Vapor Deposition)방법이다. 이들 방법으로 막을 형성하게 되면, 웨이퍼 이면에도 막이 형성되게 된다. 웨이퍼 후면에 증착된 막은 공정 특성상 두께분포가 균일하지 못하고 다음 공정 중에 웨이퍼 전면을 오염시킬 수 있다. 후면의 박막이 있는 상태로 웨이퍼가 batch 방식의 습식공정이 진행되면, 후면의 박막이 떨어져 나와서 웨이퍼 전면을 오염시키게 된다. 또한 공정에 따라서 기판전면은 식각 시키지 않고 후면만 식각 시키는 경우가 발생하는데, 이때 웨이퍼 아래에 설치된 노즐을 사용하여 웨이퍼 후면의 박막을 식각할 수 있다. 본 연구는 노즐에서 약액이 분사되는 방향과 위치를 조절하여 매엽식 장비에서 웨이퍼 후면의 막을 균일하게 식각 시킬 수 있는 노즐을 제작하고 웨이퍼 후면의 $Si_{3}N_{4}$막을 분당 $1000{\AA}$이상 식각 하였으며 균일도를 5% 이하로 하였다.

본 논문에서는 gate 산화막을 위한 Hf oxide 박막을 $Hf(dmae)_4$ (dmae=dimethylaminoethoxide) 전구체로 Direct Liquid Injection Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (DLI-MOCVD)방법을 이용하여 p-type Si(100) 기판 위에 증착하였다. 이 전구체를 이용하여 $150^{\circ}C$의 낮은 증착 온도에서도 낮은 carbon 농도와 roughness를 가지는 양질의 박막을 증착할 수 있었다. 증착된 박막은 비정질 구조를 나타내었지만 annealing 온도를 증가시킴에 따라서 결정성(monoclinic phase)을 나타내었다. $500{\AA}$으로 증착한 박막을 C-V 와 I-V curve를 통하여 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 유효유전상수(k)는 증가하지만 열처리 온도가 $900^{\circ}C$ 이상이 되면 계면층의 형성에 의해 유효유전상수는 감소하게 되고 이에 따라 누설 전류도 감소하게 된다. 산소분위기 $800^{\circ}C$에서 annealing한 $HfO_2$ 박막의 유전상수는 20.1이고, 누설 전류 밀도는 SV에서 $2.2\times10^{-6}A/\textrm{cm}^2$ 로 좋은 전기적 특성을 가진다.

Atomic layer deposition(ALD) is a promising deposition method and has been studied and used in many different areas, such as displays, semiconductors, batteries, and solar cells. This method, which is based on a self-limiting growth mechanism, facilitates precise control of film thickness at an atomic level and enables deposition on large and three dimensionally complex surfaces. For instance, ALD technology is very useful for 3D and high aspect ratio structures such as dynamic random access memory(DRAM) and other non-volatile memories(NVMs). In addition, a variety of materials can be deposited using ALD, oxides, nitrides, sulfides, metals, and so on. In conventional ALD, the source and reactant are pulsed into the reaction chamber alternately, one at a time, separated by purging or evacuation periods. Thermal ALD and metal organic ALD are also used, but these have their own advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, plasma-enhanced ALD has come into the spotlight because it has more freedom in processing conditions; it uses highly reactive radicals and ions and for a wider range of material properties than the conventional thermal ALD, which uses $H_2O$ and $O_3$ as an oxygen reactant. However, the throughput is still a challenge for a current time divided ALD system. Therefore, a new concept of ALD, fast ALD or spatial ALD, which separate half-reactions spatially, has been extensively under development. In this paper, we reviewed these various kinds of ALD equipment, possible materials using ALD, and recent ALD research applications mainly focused on materials required in microelectronics.
