Hyperthermal ion/surface collisions of bromotoluene radical cations were studied using perfluorinated (F-SAM) and hydroxyl-terminated (OH-SAM) self-assembled monolayer surfaces in a tandem mass spectrometer with BEEQ geometry. The isomers were differentiated by ion abundance ratios taken from surface-induced dissociation (SID). The dissociation rate followed the order of ortho > meta > para isomers. The peak abundance ratio of m/z 51 to m/z 65 showed the best result to discern the isomers. A dissociation channel leading to tolylium ion was suggested to be responsible for the pronounced isomeric differences. The capability of SID to provide high-energy activation with narrow internal energy distribution may have channeled the reaction into the specific dissociation pathway, also facilitating small differences in reaction rates to be effective in the spectral time window of this experiment. All of the molecular ions experiencing reactive collisions with the F-SAM surface undergo transhalogenation, in which a fluorine atom on the surface replaces the bromine in the incoming ions. This reactive collision was dependent on the laboratory collision energy occurring in ca. 40.75 eV range.

기존의 PECVD에서 문제시 되고 있는 플라즈마에 의한 박막손상과 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상의 증착온도 등의 단점을 보완한 증착 기술로 중성입자 빔 (Hyper-thermal neutral beam ; HNB)을 이용한 저온 증착방법에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 중성빔을 이용하여 HNB sputtering 방법과 $SiH_4$와 Ar, $H_2$ 가스를 이용한 HNB CVD 방법으로 a-Si 박막 제작에 대한 연구를 진행하였고, HIT(heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer) cell 태양전지를 만들고자 기본적인 박막 증착과 박막 특성 및 계면특성 등의 분석을 실시하였다. 유리기판과 p-type Si 기판 위에 a-Si 및 nc-Si 박막을 증착하였으며, TEM, FTIR, Raman, IV 측정 등을 통해 그 특성을 분석하여 HNB의 특성 및 효과를 규명하였다.

In an attempt to understand the nature of hyperthermal ion-surface collisions, noble gas ion beams (He+, Ne+, Ar+, and Xe+) are scattered from a Si(100) surface for collision energies of 20-300 eV and for 45°incidence angle. The scattered ions are mass-analyzed using a quadrupole mass spectrometer and their kinetic energy is measured in a time-of-flight mode. The scattering event for He+ and Ne+ can be approximated as a sequence of quasi-binary collisions with individual Si atoms for high collision energies (Ei > 100 eV), but it becomes of a many-body nature for lower energies, Ar+ and Xe+ ions undergo mutliple large impact parameter collisions with the surface atoms. The effective mass of a surface that these heavy ions experience during the collision increases drastically for low beam energies.

하이퍼써멀 영역의 에너지 ($1{\sim}100\;eV$), 특히, 50 eV 이하의 에너지를 갖는 높은($10^{16}$ particles/$cm^2\;s$ 이상) 플럭스의 이온빔을 직접 인출하기는 어렵지만, 이온을 중성화한 중성입자빔 경우에는 가능하다. 높은 플럭스의 하이퍼써멀 중성입자빔을 생성하고 효율적으로 수송하기 위해서는 낮은 플라즈마 운전압력(0.3 mTorr 이하)에서도 높은 이온밀도($10^{11}\;cm^{-3}$ 이상)를 유지할 수 있는 대면적 플라즈마 발생원이 요구된다. 이러한 하이퍼써멀 중성입자빔의 생성을 위해 요구되는 플라즈마 발생원을 구현하기 위해서는 자기장에 의한 전자가둠 방식이 도입되어야 하는데, 영구자석을 이용한 다양한 자기장 구조를 갖는 Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) 플라즈마 발생 방식이 하나의 해결 방법이 될 수 있음을 제안하였다. 여기에는 마그네트론 구조를 갖는 자기장을 채택한 평면형 ECR 플라즈마 발생 방식과 원통형 플라즈마 용기 외벽 둘레에 영구자석 어레이를 설치하여 축방향 자기장을 형성하고 용기 중심부에 전자를 가두는 원통형 방식이 있다. 두 경우 모두 기본적으로 mirror field 구조에 의한 전자 가둠을 기반으로 하고 전자의 drift에 의해 더욱 효율적으로 전자를 플라즈마 공간에 가두는 방식을 도입하고 있어서 낮은 운전압력에서도 높은 밀도의 플라즈마를 발생시키고 유지할 수 있다.

It is well known that thin film growth and surface morphology can be substantially modified by ion-bombardment during the deposition. This is particularly important in case of thin-film deposition at low temperatures where the film growth occurs under highly nonequilibrium conditions. An attractive way to promote crystalline growth and surface morphology is deposition of additional energy in to the surface of the growing film by bombardment with hyperthermal particles. We were deposited crystalline Ti and TiN thin films on Si substrate by magnetron sputtering method with grid. Its thin films were highly smoothed and dense as increasing grid bias. In order explore the benefits of a bombardment of the growing film with high energetic particles. Ti and TiN films were deposited on Si substrates by an unbalanced magnetron sputter source with attached grid assembly for energetic ion extraction. Also, we have studied the variation of the plasma states by Langmuir probe and Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES). The epitaxial orientation. microstructual characteristics. electrical and surface properties of the films were analyzed by XRD. SEM. Four point probe and AFM.

Hyperthermal ion scattering experiments were conducted with low kinetic energy (<35 eV) cesium ion beams to analyze the UV-photolyzed water-ice films. Neutral molecules (X) on the surface were detected as cesium-molecule ion clusters ($CsX^+$) which were formed through a Reactive Ion Scattering (RIS) process. Ionic species on the surface were desorbed from the surface via a low energy sputtering (LES) process, and were analyzed [1]. Using these methods, the thermal stability of hydronium ion ($H_3O^+$) that was produced by UV light was examined. As the thermal stability of $H_3O^+$ is related with the reaction, $H_3O^+$ + OH + $e^-$ (or $OH^-$) ${\rightarrow}$ $2H_2O$, which is similar or same with the reverse reaction of the auto-ionization of water, the result from this work would be helpful to understand the auto-ionization of $H_2O$ in water-ice that has not been well-understood yet. However, as $H_3O^+$ was not detected through a LES method, the titration experiment of $H_3O^+$ with methylamine ($CH_3NH_2$, MA), MA + $H_3O^+\;{\rightarrow}\;MAH^+$ + $H_2O$, was conducted. In this case, the presence of $MAH^+$ indicates that of $H_3O^+$ in the ice. Thus the pristine ice was photolyzed with UV light for a few minutes and this photolyzed ice was remained at the certain temperature for minutes without UV light. Then MA was adsorbed on that surface so that the population of $H_3O^+$ was found. From the calibration experiments, the relation of $MAH^+$ and $H_3O^+$ was found, so that the thermal stability of $H_3O^+$ can be investigated [2].
