  • Based on experimental and theoretical analyses, we suggested a new possibility that the CVD diamond films grow not by the atomic unit but by the charged clusters containing a few hundreds of carbon atoms, which form spontaneously in the gas phase [J. Crysta] Growth 62 (1996) 55]. These hypothetical negatively-charged clusters were experimentally confirmed under a typical hot-filament diamond CVD process. Thin film growth by charged clusters or gas phase colloids of a few nanometers was also confirmed in Si and ZrO₂ CVD and appears to be general in many other CVD processes. Many puzzling phenomena in the CVD process such as selective deposition and nanowire growth could be explained by the deposition behavior of charged clusters. Charged clusters were shown to generate and contribute at least partially to the film deposition by thermal evaporation. Origin of charging at the relatively low temperature was explained by the surface ionization described by Saha-Langmuir equation. The hot surface with a high work function favors positive charging of clusters while that of a low work function favors negative charging.

  • Si 기판 표면상태 변화와 관련된 핵생성 자유에너지 증가에 따른 다이아몬드 박막성장 거동을 관찰하였다. 표면 염마조건 변화에 따른 3가지 기판(A-Si, B-Si, C-Si)위에 동일한 성장조건으로 다이아몬드를 성장하였으며, 이때 형상인자와 관련된 자유에너지 관계는 ${\Delta}G_{A-Si}<{\Delta}G_{B-Si}<{\Delta}G_{C-Si}$이다. AES, SEM, XRD, RHEED에 의해 각각의 박막 A, B, C를 조사한 결과, 핵생성 자유에너지가 가장 적은 A 박막은 (100) (110) 면이 지배적인 고품위 다이아몬드 박막이다. 자유에너지가 A에 비해 다소 적은 B 박막은 (111) 면이 지배적인 8면체 다이아몬드 박막이고, 자유에너지가 자장 적은 C 박막은 흑연이 많이 함유된 구상의 다이아몬드이다.

  • 광학소자나 전자소자의 코팅에 많이 이용되고 있는 Diamond-like Carbon(DLC) 박막의 복소굴절율을 광학적 방법을 사용하여 구하였다. PECVD(Plasma enhanced CVD)법에 의해 Si(100)기판과 비정질실리카 기판위에 각각 성장시킨 DLC 박막을 분광타원해석기와 분광광도계를 이용하여 타원해석 스펙트럼과 광투과율 스펙트럼을 측정하고, Sellmeier 분산관계식과 양자역학적 진동자 모델을 이용하여 분석하였다. 비정질실리카 위에 증착된 DLC 박막의 광투과영역에서 분광타원해석분석으로 굴절률 및 박막의 유효두께를 구하고 광흡수영역에서 투과스펙트럼을 역방계산하여 소광계수를 구한 뒤, 이 소광계수 스펙트럼에 최적 근사하는 양자역학적 분산식의 계수들을 회귀분석법으로 결정하여 복소굴절율을 구하였다. 그리고 모델링방법을 타워해석 스펙트럼에 적용하여 Si기판과 비정질이산화규소 기판위에 증착된 DLC 박막의 조밀도, 표면거칠기 등 박막상수를 박막의 성장조건에 따라 분석하였다.

  • In this research, DLC thin films are produced as several hundred nm thickness by PE-CVD method. And then these thin films are estimated tribological characteristics to find out useful possibilities as a protecting film for high-quality function and life extension at MEMs by mechanical properties observation . These are measured thickness and residual stress of DLC coating. Compared after measuring friction coefficient, adhesion force, hardness, cohesive force of coating films. As results all test, we can decide several conclusions. First, friction coefficient decreased, as the load increased. otherwise, friction coefficient increased, as thickness of coating film increased under low load$(1\~50mN)$. Secod, adhesion force increased as thickness of coating films. Third, hardness of coating film is affected by substrate coating film when it is less than thickness of 300nm and it has general hardness of DLC coating film when it is more than thickness of 500nm. Fourth, cohesive force of coating film is complexly affected by hardness, adhesion force, residual stress, etc.

  • In this thesis, the metastable state diamond thin films have been deposited on Si substrates from methane-hydrogen and oxygen mixture using Microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor deposition (MWPCVD) method. Effects of each experimental parameters of MWPCVD including methane concentrations, oxygen additions, operating pressure, deposition time, etc. on the growth rate and crystallinity were investigated. SEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy were employed to analyze the growth rate and morphology, crystallinity and prefered growth direction, and relative amounts of diamond and non-diamond phases respectively. As a methane concentration below 4%, the deposited films having well-defined facets could be obtained. As the methane concentration increases over 4%, the shape of films gradually changed into a amorphos form. The best crystallinity of the film at 3% in the Raman spectroscopy. Addition of oxygen to the methane-hydrogen mixture gave an improved film crystallinity at 50% oxygen concentration due to its more effectiveness in the selective removal of the non-diamond phased compared to the of H atom. on the contrary, the growth rate generally decreased by oxygen to from the more stable CO and CO2 is responsible for such an effect. Upon increasing the operating pressure and time, increased of growth rate and crystallinity were increased simultaneously.

  • Various surface colors are predicted and implemented using the interference color generated by controlling the thickness of nano-level diamond like carbon (DLC) thin film. Samples having thicknesses of up to 385 nm and various interference colors are prepared using a single crystal silicon (100) substrate with changing processing times at low temperature by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The thickness, surface roughness, color, phases, and anti-scratch performance under each condition are analyzed using a scanning electron microscope, colorimeter, micro-Raman device, and scratch tester. Coating with the same uniformity as the surface roughness of the substrate is possible over the entire experimental thickness range, and more than five different colors are implemented at this time. The color matched with the color predicted by the model, assuming only the reflection mode of the thin film. All the DLC thin films show constant D/G peak fraction without significant change, and have anti-scratch values of about 19 N. The results indicate the possibility that nano-level DLC thin films with various interference colors can be applied to exterior materials of actual mobile devices.
