플라즈마 중합 기법에 의해 제작된 고분자 (plasma polymerized polymer) 박막은 단량체(monomer)의 고유의 특성을 유지하며 고분자 박막이 형성됨을 확인하고, 기판 바이어스에 의해 시간에 따른 증착 두께는 선형적으로 증가함을 확인하였다. 자체 제작된 플라즈마 중합 시스템에서 self-bias voltage를 최소화하여 플라즈마 고분자의 증착효율 및 두께 조절이 가능함을 확인하였다. 플라즈마 합성을 이용해 고분자 박막을 제조하고, MIM 소자를 제작하여 통상적인 고분자 합성기법으로 제조된 고분자 대비 높은 유전상수 값이 확인되었다. 결과적으로 유기박막 트랜지스터 및 유기 메모리 등 플렉서블 유기전자소자용 절연/유전체 박막으로의 응용이 기대된다.

정보화가 급속히 진전됨에 따라 보다 많은 양의 정보를 전송, 처리, 저장하게 되면서 이를 위해 대용량, 고속, 비휘발성의 특징을 갖는 차세대 메모리의 개발이 절실히 요구되고있다. 이 중 저항 변화 메모리(ReRAM)는 일반적으로 TiO2, Al2O3, NiO2, HfO2, ZrO2 등의 전이금속산화물을 이용한 MIM 구조로서 적당한 전기 신호를 가하면 저항이 높아서 전도되지 않는 상태(Offstate)에서 저항이 낮아져 전도가 가능한 상태(On state)로 바뀌는 메모리 특성을가진다. ReRAM은 비휘발성 메모리이며 종래의 비휘발성 기억소자인 Flash memory 보다 access time 이105 배 이상 빠르고, 5V 이하의 낮은 전압에서도 동작이 가능하다. 또한 구조가 간단하여 공정 단순화가 가능하고 소자의 집적화도 쉽다는 점 등 많은 장점들이 있어서 Flash memory를 대체할 수 있는 유력한 후보로 여겨지고 있다. 본연구에서는 DC-magnetron Sputtering 방법으로 전이금속 박막을 증착하고, Dry furnace로 산화시켜 전이금속산화물 박막을 제작한 후 저항변화 특성을 연구하였다. 두 개의 전이금속산화물 박막을 dual-layer로 형성시켜 저항변화특성을 관찰하였으며 또한, 전이금속산화물 박막의 조성을 달리 하여 저항변화를 관찰 하였다. 전이금속산화물 박막의 전기적 특성을 알아보기 위해 Si(100) wafer 위에 Pt를 이용 MIM 형태로 capacitor 시편을 제작 하여, probe station으로 I-V 측정을 하였고 조성 및 표면 분석을 위해서는 AES와 AFM을, 미세구조를 분석을 위해서는 TEM과 SEM 을 사용하였다.

In this paper, evaluation of physical properties about dielectric relaxation phenomena by the detection of the surface pressures and displacements current on the monolayer films of phospolipid monomolecular DMPC using pressure stimulus. As a result, It is found that the phospolipid monolayer of dielectric relaxation takes a little time and depend on the molecular area. When electric bias is applied across the manufactured MIM device by the deposition condition of phospolipid monomolecular, it is found that be characteristic of insulation generated it wasn't breakdown when the higher electric field to impress by increase of deposition layers.

Maxwell displacement current (MDC) measurement has been employed to study the dielectric property of Langmuir-films. MDC flowing across monolayers is analyzed using a rod-like molecular model. It is revealed that the dielectric relaxation time $\tau$ of mono layers in the isotropic polar orientational phase is determined using a liner relationship between the monolayer compression speed a and the molecular area $A_m$. Compression speed a was about 30, 40, 50mm/min. also, LB layers of Arachidic acid deposited by LB method were deposited onto slide glass as Y-type film. The structure of manufactured device is Au/Arachidic acid/Al, the number of accumulated layers are 9 ~ 21 and we then examined of the Metal-Insulator-Metal(MIM) device by means of I-V.

And GFP molecule was adsorption onto the viologen LB film surface by self-assembly method. Finally, The Al deposition onto GFP/viologen/TCNQ film surface was performed to make a top electrode. As a result, The MIM(metal/Insulator/Metal) structured device was constructed. The input light of 460nm wavelength was generated by the xenon lamp system, and then the photocurrent produced from the molecular device was detected through a current-voltage(I-V) measuring unit (SMU Model 236, Keithley, USA). An artificial molecular photodiode using protein(GFP)-adsorbed hetero-LB film is presented as a model system for the bioelectronic device based on the biomimesis.

최근 저항 변화 메모리는 종래의 비휘발성 기억소자인 Flash memory보다 access time(writing)이 105배 이상 빠르고, DRAM과 같이 2~5 V 이하의 낮은 전압 특성 및 간단한 제조 공정 등으로 차세대 비휘발성 메모리 소자로 주목 받고 있지만, 여전히 소자의 Endurance 및 Retention 특성 등의 신뢰성 문제를 해결해야 할 과제로 안고 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 페로브스카이트계 산화물 또는 이원 산화물 등의 다양한 저항 변화 물질에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 현재 주로 연구되고 있는 금속 산화물계 물질들은 그 제조 공정상 산소에 의한 다수의 산소 디펙트 형성과 제작 시 쉽게 발생할 수 있는 표면 오염의 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 연구는 기존의 금속 산화물계 박막의 제조 공정에서 발생하는 문제점을 해결하기 위해 질화물계 박막을 저항변화 물질로 도입함으로써, 기존의 저항 변화 물질의 장점인 간단한 공정 및 저전압/고속 동작 특성을 동일하게 유지 할 뿐 아니라, 그 제조 공정상 발생하는 다수의 산소 디펙트와 표면 오염의 문제를 해결함으로써, 보다 고효율을 가지며 재현성이 우수한 메모리 소자를 구현 하고자 한다 [1, 2]. 본 연구를 위해 Pt/AlN/Pt 구조의 Metal/Insulator/Metal(MIM) 저항 변화 메모리를 제작 하였다. 최적의 저항 변화 특성 조건을 확인하기 위해 70~200nm까지 두께 구분과 N2 가스 분위기의 열처리 온도를 $200{\sim}600^{\circ}C$까지 진행 하였다. 본 소자의 저항 변화 특성 실험은 Keithley 4200-SCS을 이용하여 진행 하였다. 실험 결과, AlN의 최적의 두께 및 열처리 온도 조건은 130nm/$500^{\circ}C$였으며, 안정적인 unipolar 저항 변화 특성을 확인 활 수 있었다.

This paper has designed, fabricated, and analyzed the passive devices realized using low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) multi layer substrates by dividing into the shrinkage process and the non-shrinkage process. Using two types of ceramic materials with dielectric constant 7 or 40, we have fabricated the same shape of various elements in 2 different processes and compared the characteristics. For the substrate of dielctric constant 40, compared with the shrinkage process which has 17% shrink in the X and Y directions with 36% shrink in the Z direction, the non-shrinkage process has 43% shrink in the Z direction without shrink in the X and Y directions, so high dimensional accuracy and surface flatness can be obtained. The inductances and capacitances of the fabricated elements are estimated from measurement using empirical analysis equations of parameters and implemented as a design library. Depending on the substrate and the process, the inductance and capacitance depending on the turn number of winding and unit area have been measured, and empirical polynomials are proposed to predict element values.

The preparation and processing of PVP-gate insulators on the device performance have been studied in the fabrication of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). One of polyvinyl series, poly-4-vinyl phenol(PVP) was used as a solute and propyleneglycol monomethyl etheracetate(PGMEA) as a solvent in the formation of organic gate solutions. The cross-linking of organic insulators was also attempted by adding the thermosetting material, poly (melamine-co-formaldehyde) as a hardener in the compounds. From the measurements of electrical insulating characteristics of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) samples, PVP-based insulating layers showed lower leakage current according to the increase of concentration of PVP and poly (melamine-co-formaldehyde) to PGMEA in the formation of organic solutions. The PVP(20 wt%) copolymer with composition of 20 wt% PVP to PGMEA and cross-linked PVPs in which 5 wt% and 10 wt% poly (melamine-co-formaldehyde) hardeners had been additional]y mixed into PVP(20 wt%) copolymers were used as gate dielectrics in the fabrication of OTFTs, respectively. In our experiments, the maximum field effect mobility of $0.31cm^2/Vs$ could be obtained in the 5 wt% cross-linked PVP(20 wt%) device and the highest on/off current ratio of $1.92{\times}10^5$ in the 10 wt% cross-linked PVP(20 wt%) device.
