The in-situ scanning electron microscopy observation of real-time hillock evolution in pure hi thin films on glass substrate during Isothermal annealing was analyzed quantitatively to understand the compressive stress relaxation mechanism by focusing on the effect of Mo interlayer between Al film and glass substrate. There is a good correlation between the hillock-induced stress relaxation by in-situ scanning electron microscopy observation ana the measured stress relaxation by wafer curvature method. It is also clearly shown that the existence of Mo interlayer plays an important role in hillock formation probably due to the large difference in interfacial diffusivity of Al films.

초고진공에서 in situ 고상 에피택셜 방법으로 Si(111)기판 위에 에피택셜 $CoSi_2$ 초박막과 $Si/epi-CoSi_2/Si$(111) 의 이중 이종에피택셜 구조를 성장 시켰다. 2-MeV $^4He^{++}$ 이온 후방산란 분광기와 X-선 회절분석기 및 고분해능 투과전자 현미경을 이용하여 성장된 $CoSi_2$와 $Si/epi-CoSi_2/Si$(111)의 상, 조성, 결정성 그리고 계면의 미세구조를 조사하였다. 실온에서 증착된 Co 박막은 texture 구조를 갖는 Stransky-Krastanov 성장 모드를 나타내었다. 실온에서 Si(111)-$7\times{7}$ 기판 위에 Co를 $50\AA$ 증착한 후 $700^{\circ}C$로 10분간 in situ 열처리했을 때 초박막 A-type $CoSi_2$상이 성장되었고, 정합상관계는 $CoSi_2$[110]//Si[110] and $CoSi_2$(002)//Si(002)였으며, 편의각은 없었다. A-type $CoSi_2$/Si(111)계면은 평활하고 coherent 하였다. 양질의 epi-Si/epi-$CoSi_2$(A-type)/Si(111)구조는 Co/Si(111)계를 $700^{\circ}C$로 10분간 in situ로 열처리한 후 기판을 $500^{\circ}C$로 유지하면서 Si을 증착하였을 때 형성되었다.

Undoped $SnO_x$ thin films were deposited on Si(100) substrate by using reactive ioassisted deposition technique (R-IAD). In order to investigate the effect of initial oxygen content and heat treatment on the oxidation state and crystalline structure of tin oxide films, $SnO_x$ thin films were post-annealed at 400~$600^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. in a vacuum ~$5 \times 10^{-3}$ -3/ Torr or were directly deposited on the substrate of $400^{\circ}C$ and the relative arrival ration ($Gamma$) of oxygen ion to Sn metal varied from 0.025 to 0.1, i.e., average impinging energy ($E_a$) form 25 to 100 eV/atom. As $E_a$ increased, the composition ratio of $N_ON{sn}$ changed from 1.25 to 1.93 in post-annealing, treatment and 1.21 to 1.87 in in-situ substrate heating. In case of post-annealing, the oxidation from SnO to $SnO_2$ was closely related to initial oxygen contents and post-annealing temperature, and the perfect oxidation of $SnO_2$ in the film was obtained at higher than $E_a$=75 eV/atom and $600^{\circ}C$. The temperature for perfect oxidation of $SnO_2$ was reduced as low as $400^{\circ}C$ through in-situ substrate heating. The variation of the chemical state of $SnO_x$ thin films with changing $E_a$'s and heating method were also observed by Auger electron spectroscopy.

To investigate the ZnO thin films which are interested in the next generation of short wavelength LEDs and Lasers, the ZnO thin films were deposited by RF sputtering system. At sputtering process of ZnO thin films, substrate temperature, work pressure respectively is $100^{\circ}C$ and 15 mTorr, and the purity of target is ZnO 5 N. The ZnO thin films were in-situ annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ in $O_2$ atmosphere. The thickness of ZnO thin films has implemented about $1.6{\mu}m$ at SEM analysis after in-situ annealing process. We have investigated the crystal structure of substrates, and so structural properties of ZnO thin films has estimate by using XRD, FWHM, FE-SEM and AFM. XRD and FE-SEM showed that ZnO thin films grown on substrates had a c-axis preferential orientation in the [0001] crystal direction. XPS spectra showed that ZnO thin film was showed a peak positions corresponding to the O1s and the Zn2p. As form above XPS, we showed that the atom ratio of Zn:O related 1:1.1504 on ZnO thin film, so we could obtained useful information for p-type ZnO thin film.

The performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is directly related to the electrocatalytic activity of composite electrodes in which triple phase boundaries (TPBs) of metallic catalyst, oxygen ion conducting support, and gas should be three-dimensionally maximized. The distribution morphology of catalytic nanoparticle dispersed on external surfaces is of key importance for maximized TPBs. Herein in situ grown nickel nanoparticle onto the surface of fluorite oxide is demonstrated employing gadolium-nickel co-doped ceria ($Gd0.2-xNixCe0.8O2-{\delta}$, GNDC) by reductive annealing. GNDC powders were synthesized via a Pechini-type sol-gel process while maximum doping ratio of Ni into the cerium oxide was defined by X-ray diffraction. Subsequently, NiO-GNDC composite were screen printed on the both sides of yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) pellet to fabricate the symmetrical half cells. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showed that the polarization resistance was decreased when it was compared to conventional Ni-GDC anode and this effect became greater at lower temperature. Ex situ microstructural analysis using scanning electron microscopy after the reductive annealing exhibited the exsolution of Ni nanoparticles on the fluorite phases. The influence of Ni contents in GNDC on polarization characteristics of anodes were examined by EIS under H2/H2O atmosphere. Finally, the addition of optimized GNDC into the anode functional layer (AFL) dramatically enhanced cell performance of anode-supported coin cells.

We report a new in-situ fluorine passivation method without in implantation by employing excimer laser annealing of $SiO_{x}F_{y}$/a-Si structure and its effects on p-channel poly-Si TFTs. The proposed method doesn't require any additional annealing step and is a low temperature process because fluorine passivation is simultaneous with excimer-laser-induced crystallization. A in-situ fluorine passivation by the proposed method was verified form XPS analysis and conductivity measurement. From experimental results, it has been shown that the proposed method is effective to improve the electrical characteristics, specially field-effect mobility, and the electrical stability of p-channel poly-Si TFTs. The improvement id due to fluorine passivation, which reduces the trap state density and forms the strong Si-F bonds in poly-Si channel and $SiO_2/poly-Si$ interface. From these results, the high performance poly-Si TFTs canbe obtained by employing the excimer-laser-induced fluorine passivation method.

ITO-coated glass 기판 위에 산소분위기에서 30분 동안 증착한 후 in-situ 상태의 RTA (rapid thermal annealing) 방식으로 열처리를 하였다. 단일 perovskite상의 결정화 온도는 $600^{\circ}C$였다. Pb를 10 wt% 과잉 첨가한 박막의 최대 광투과율은 520nm에서 약 84%로 광학적 특성이 우수하였으며, 유전상수는 약 308의 값을 가졌고, 누설전류는 Pb를 0, 5 wt% 과잉 첨가한 PLZT 박막보다 낮은 값을 가졌다.

The effect of thermal annealing on the in-situ growth characteristics of intermetallics (IMCs) and the mechanical strength of Cu pillar/Sn-3.5Ag microbumps are systematically investigated. The $Cu_6Sn_5$ phase formed at the Cu/solder interface right after bonding and grew with increased annealing time, while the $Cu_3Sn$ phase formed at the $Cu/Cu_6Sn_5$ interface and grew with increased annealing time. IMC growth followed a linear relationship with the square root of the annealing time due to a diffusion-controlled mechanism. The shear strength measured by the die shear test monotonically increased with annealing time. It then changed the slope with further annealing, which correlated with the change in fracture modes from ductile to brittle at a critical transition time. This is ascribed not only to the increasing thickness of brittle IMCs but also to the decreasing thickness of the solder, as there exists a critical annealing time for a fracture mode transition in our thin solder-capped Cu pillar microbump structures.

3차원 적층 패키지를 위한 Cu/Ni/Au/Sn-Ag/Cu 미세 범프의 열처리에 따른 금속간 화합물 성장 거동을 분석하기 위하여 in-situ SEM에서 $135^{\circ}C$, $150^{\circ}C$, $170^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 실시간 열처리 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과 금속간 화합물의 성장 거동은 열처리시간이 경과함에 따라 시간의 제곱근에 직선 형태로 증가하였고, 확산에 의한 성장이 지배적인 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. Ni/Au 층의 존재로 인해 Au의 확산으로 복잡한 구조의 금속간 화합물이 생성 된 것을 확인할 수 있다. 활성화 에너지는 $Cu_3Sn$의 경우 0.69eV, $(Cu,Ni,Au)_6Sn_5$경우 0.84 eV로 Ni이 포함된 금속간 화합물이 더 높은 것을 확인 하였으며, 확산 방지층 역할을 하는 Ni층에 의해 금속간 화합물 성장이 억제됨에 따라 신뢰성이 향상 될 것으로 사료된다.

The effects of gas atmosphere and in-situ thermal annealing in buffet layers on the characteristic of the ZnO grown by RF magnetron sputtering have been investigated. It was shown that the introduction of buffer layers grown at the gas atmospheres of the mixed $Ar/O_2$ and the in-situ thermal treatment of the ZnO buffer layer improved the structural and optical properties. In addition, the ZnO films on the buffer layer thermal-annealed at $N_2$ gas ambience showed the strong emission of the near band gap exciton with narrow linewidth by combining the high-temperature growth of the ZnO film.
