In addition to its similarity to genuine diamond film, diamond-like carbon (DLC) film has many advantages, including its wide band gap and variable refractive index. In this study, DLC films were prepared by the RF PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) method on silicon substrates using methane ($CH_4$) and hydrogen ($H_2$) gas. We examined the effects of the RF power on the electrical properties of the DLC films. The films were deposited at several RF powers ranging from 50 to 175 W in steps of 25 W. The leakage current of DLC films increased at higher deposition RF power. And the resistivities of DLC films grown at 50 W and 175 W were $5\times10^{11}$ ${\Omega}cm$ and $2.68\times10^{10}$ ${\Omega}cm$, respectively.

In situ measurement of infrared absorption spectra has been performed during low-temperature plasma-enhanced chemical vapor depositiion of silicon-oxide films using tetramethoxysilane as a silicon source. Several absorption bands due to the reactant molecules are clearly observed before deposition. In the plasma, these bands completely disappear at any oxygen mixing ratio. This result shows that most of the tetramethoxysilane molecules are dissociated in the rf plasma, even C-H bonds. Existence of Si-H bonds in vapor phase and/or on the film surface during deposition has been found by infrared diagnostics. We observed both a decrease in Si-OH absorption and an increase in Si-O-Si after plasma off, which means the dehydration condensation reaction continues after deposition. The rate of this reaction is much slower than the deposition ratio of the films.

$SiH_{4}$를 반응물질로 사용하여 electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(ECR-PECVD)로 실리콘 기판위에 증착한 수소화 비정질 실리콘(a-Si:H)으로부터 가시 photoluminescence(PL) 가 관찰되었다. a-si:H/Si로 부터의 PL은 다공질실리콘으로부터의 PL과 유사하였다. 급속열처리에 의해 $500^{\circ}C$에서 2분간 산소분위기에서 어닐링된 시편의 수소함량은 1~2%로 줄어들었고 시편은 가시 PL을 보여주지 않았는데 이는 a-Si:H의 PL과정에서 수소가 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 뜻한다. 증착된 a-Si:H의 두께가 증가함에 따라 PL의 세기는 감소하였다. $SiH_{4}$를 사용하여 ECR-PECVD에 의해 Si상에 증착된 a-Si:H로부터의 가시 PL은 Si과 증착된 a-Si:H막 사이에 증착이 이루어지는 동안에 형성된 수소화실리콘으로부터 나오는 것으로 추론된다.

Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays have promising potential to replace liquid crystal displays (LCDs) due to their advantages of low power consumption, fast response time, broad viewing angle and flexibility. Organic light emitting materials are vulnerable to moisture and oxygen, so inorganic thin films are required for barrier substrates and encapsulations.[1-2]. In this work, the silicon-based inorganic thin films are deposited on plastic substrates by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) at low temperature. It is necessary to deposit thin film at low temperature. Because the heat gives damage to flexible plastic substrates. As one of the transparent diffusion barrier materials, silicon oxides have been investigated. $SiO_x$ have less toxic, so it is one of the more widely examined materials as a diffusion barrier in addition to the dielectric materials in solid-state electronics [3-4]. The $SiO_x$ thin films are deposited by a PECVD process in low temperature below $100^{\circ}C$. Water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) was determined by a calcium resistance test, and the rate less than $10.^{-2}g/m^2{\cdot}day$ was achieved. And then, flexibility of the film was also evaluated.

본 연구에서는 LCD, 이미지 센서 등의 개별 소자인 비정질 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터에서 게 이트 유전층 및 절연층으로 사용되는 비정질 질화 실리콘 박막을 사일랜($SiH_4$) 및 암모니아가스를 사용해서 PECVD(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) 진공 증착장비로 최적의 비정질질화실리콘 박막 증착 조건을 확립한다. 먼저 반응실의 진공도, rf 전력, $SiH_4$ 및 질소 그리고 암모니아가스의 flow rate를 변화시키면서 형성된 박막의 특성을 조사한다. 계속해서 다른 변수를 고정시킨 상태에서 rf 전력을 변화시키고 다음에는 반응실의 진공도 등을 변화시켜 최적의 증착조건을 확립한다. 이렇게 확립된 증착조건을 사용하여 비정질질화실리콘박막을 제작하여 특성을 측정한 결과 우수한 성능을 나타냈음을 확인하였다.

Synthesis graphene on Cu substrate by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD) is investigated and its quality's affection factors are discussed in this work. Compared with the graphene synthesized at high temperature in chemical vapor deposition (CVD), the low-temperature graphene film by PE-CVD has relatively low quality with many defects. However, the advantage of low-temperature is also obvious that low melting point materials will be available to synthesize graphene as substrate. In this study, the temperature will be kept constant in $400^{\circ}C$ and the graphene was grown in plasma environment with changing the plasma power, the flow rate of precursors, and the distance between plasma generator coil and substrates. Then, we investigate the effect of temperature and the influence of process variables to graphene film's quality and characterize the film properties with Raman spectroscopy and sheet resistance and optical emission spectroscopy.

Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) was successfully grown on Ni coated silicon wafer substrate by applying PECVD technique(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition). As a catalyst, Ni thin film of thickness ranging from 15∼30nm was prepared by electron beam evaporator method. In order to find the optimum growth condition, the type of the gas mixture such as C$_2$H$_2$-NH$_3$was systematically investigated by adjusting the gas mixing ratio in temperature of 600$^{\circ}C$ under the pressure of 0.4 torr. The diameter of the grown CNTs was 40∼150nm. As NH$_3$etching time increased the diameters of the nanotubes decreased whereas the density of nanotubes increased. TEM images clearly demonstrated synthesized nanotubes was multiwalled. We investigated electrical properties for the application of FED.

Silicon antimony films are studied as resistors for uncooled microbolometers. We present the fabrication of silicon films and their alloy films using sputtering and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The sputtered silicon antimony films show a low 1/f noise level compared to plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD)-deposited amorphous silicon due to their very fine nanostructure. Material parameter K is controlled using the sputtering conditions to obtain a low 1/f noise. The calculation for specific detectivity assuming similar properties of silicon antimony and PECVD amorphous silicon shows that silicon antimony film demonstrates an outstanding value compared with PECVD Si film.

Atmospheric pressure- plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(AP-PECVD)Processes are recognized as promising and cost effective methods for wide-area coating on sheets of steel, glass, polymeric web, etc. In this study, $SiO_xC_y$ thin films were deposited by using AP-PECVD with a dielectric barrier discharge(DBD). The characteristic of $SiO_xC_y$ thin films were investigated as afunction of the HMDSO/O2/He flow rate. And the moisture permeability of $SiO_xC_y$ thin films was studied. The $SiO_xC_y$ thin films were characterized by the Fourier-transformed Infrared(FT-IR) spectroscopy and also investigated by X-ray photo electron spectroscopy(XPS), Auger Electron Spectroscopy(AES). The moisture permeability of $SiO_xC_y$ thin films was investigated by $H_2O$ permeability tester Detailed experimental results will be demonstrated through th present work.
