The main consideration factor to design a magnetron of the sputtering system for TFT-LCD metallization is high sheet resistance (Rs) uniformity which is provided by the high target erosion and high current efficiency. The present study has developed a rectangular magnetron for TFT-LCD to bve considered full target erosion and high film uniformity. After an aluminum-2 at.% and alloy target was installed in a magnetron source and the film was deposited on the glass of 600${\times}$720 mm, the Rs uniformity of the deposited film was measured as functions of the magnet tilt and magnet scanning configuration. And the target erosion profile was observed with the target voltage. When sputtered at 4mtorr and 10kW, the magnet tilt for the high Rs uniformity of 8.38% was 7mm. The plasma voltage at the dwell home and end for full-face target erosion, when scanned the magnetron was 120% compared to the mean voltage of the other area.

According to recent changes in industry for the semiconductor device, a gap between patterns in wafer is getting narrow. And this narrow gap makes a failure of uniform deposition between center and edge on the wafer. In this paper, for solving this problem, we analyze and manipulate the gas flow inside of the HDP CVD chamber by using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics). This simulation includes design manipulations in heights of the chamber and shape of center nozzle in the upper side of the chamber. The result of simulation shows 1.28 uniformity which is lower 3% than original uniformity.

A downstream oxygen plasma is generated by capacitively coupled RF power and applied to photoresist stripping. Stripping rate (ashing rate) is measured in terms of RF power, chamber pressure, oxygen flow rate and temperature. Ashing reaction is thermally activated and depends on oxygen radical density. The ashing process is optimized to have the high ashing rate, good uniformity and minimal plasma damage using a statistical method.

대면적 GaAs 웨이퍼의 플라즈마 식각 공정에서 식각 깊이의 좋은 균일도를 얻기 위해 반응기 내의 가스 흐름을 조절하는 진보된 기술을 실험하였다. 유한차분수치법(Finite Difference Numerical Method)은 GaAs 웨이퍼의 건식 식각을 위한 반응기 안의 가스 흐름의 분포를 시뮬레이션하기에 유용한 방법이다. 이 방법을 이용해 시뮬레이션된 자료와 실제의 것이 상당히 일치한다는 것이 $BCl_3/N_2/SF_6/He$ICP플라즈마의 실험 결과로 확인되었다. 대면적 GaAs 웨이퍼의 플라즈마 식각 공정 중에서 포커스 링(focus ring)의 최적화된 위치가 가스 흐름과 식각 균일성을 동시에 향상시키는 것을 이해했다. 반응기와 전극(electrode)의 크기가 변하지 않는 상황에서 샘플을 고정시키는 클램프 배치의 최적화를 통해 100 mm(4 inch) GaAs 웨이퍼에서 가스 흐름의 균일성을 $\pm$1.5 %, 150 mm(6 inch) 웨이퍼에서는 $\pm$3% 이하로 유지시킬 수 있는 것을 시뮬레이션결과에서 확인할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션된 가스 흐름의 균일도 자료와 실제 식각 깊이 분포실험 데이터의 비교로 대면적 GaAs 웨이퍼에서 건식 식각의 뛰어난 균일성을 얻기 위해서는 반응기 내의 가스흐름분포의 조절이 매우 중요함을 확인하였다.

The plasma processing technologies of thin film deposition and surface treatment technique have been applied to many industrial fields. This study is purposed Large-area uniformity and surface treatment on the stainless substrate. We treat surface of stainless by $CF_4$ plasma. $CF_4$ plasma is generated by using SPM(Scanning plasma method)which is kind a of CVD. Generally, SPM has been used for uniform surface treatment using a crossed electromagnetic field. The optimum discharge condition has been studied for the gas pressure, the magnetic flux density and the distance between substrate and electrodes. In result, contact angle is increased by surface treatment using $CF_4$ Plasma. Therefore we expect that SPM to control contact angle is applied to many industries.

안테나에 따른 플라즈마 밀도의 균일도 연구를 위해 병렬 안테나를 설계하고 이중 랑뮤어 탐침과 자기장 측정 탐침을 이용하여 각각의 플라즈마 밀도와 자기장의 세기를 측정 하였다. 나비형 안테나를 사용했을 때 플라즈마 밀도가 ~$2\times10^{11}(\textrmcm^{-3})$로 다른 두 안테나를 사용했을 때보다 높았으며, 전자의 온도는 2eV 이하로 동일한 조건에서의 나선형 안테나보 다 낮게 나왔다. 또 전류의 방향이 서로 다른 두 개의 안테나선이 가까이 있거나 안테나 성 분끼리 양성 결합(positive coupling)을 하는 경우에는 동력 효율(power efficiency)이 매우 낮아졌다.

A new advanced combined PVD/CVD technique of DLC film deposition has been developed. Deposition of a DLC film was carried out using a pulsed carbon arc discharge in vapor hydrocarbon atmosphere. The arc plasma enhancing CVD process promotes dramatic increase in the deposition rate and decrease of compressive stress as well as improvement of film thickness uniformity compared to that obtained with a single PVD pulsed arc process. The optical spectroscopy investigation reveals great increase in radiating components of $C_2$ Swan system molecular bands due to acetylene molecules decomposition. AFM, Raman spectroscopy, XPS and nano-indentation were used to characterize DLC films. The method ensures obtaining a new superhard DLC nano-material for deposition of protective coatings onto various industrial products including those used in medicine.

As the semiconductor production technology has gradually developed and intra-market competition has grown fiercer, the caliber of Si Wafer for semiconductor production has increased as well. And semiconductors have become integrated with higher density. Presently the Si Wafer caliber has reached up to 450 mm and relevant production technology has been advanced together. Electrostatic chuck is an important device utilized not only for the Wafer transport and fixation but also for the heat treatment process based on plasma. To effectively control the high calories generated by plasma, it employs a refrigerant-based cooling method. Amid the enlarging Si Wafers and semiconductor device integration, effective temperature control is essential. Therefore, uniformed temperature distribution in the electrostatic chuck is a key factor determining its performance. In this study, the form of refrigerant flow channel will be investigated for uniformed temperature distribution in electrostatic chuck.

Phosphor layers on rear plate of PDP were formed via osmosis coating process in an attempt to improve thickness uniformity of phosphor layer and eventually to enhance luminance and its efficiency of plasma display panel. The phosphor layers were formed uniformly not only on the sidewalls of barrier ribs but also on the dielectric layer of rear plate by the process. The processing parameters affecting the thickness uniformity of the phosphor layer formed by the osmotic coating process were investigated.

A compact electron cyclotron resonance(ECR) plasma system composed of a microwave generator and a magnet coil was fabricated. A Langmuir single probe was used to investigate the plasma characteristics of the system through I-V measurements. The performance of the compact ECR plasma system was tested for the case of silicon etching reaction with $CF_{4}/O_{2}$(30%) mixed gas. Electron density and etch rate increased to maximum values and then decreased with increasing argon gas pressure, but electron temperature changed in the opposite way. The electron density and the electron temperature of argon gas plasma were 0.85${\times}~5.5{\times}10^{10}cm^{-3}$ and 4.5~6.0 eV, respectively, in the pressure range from $3{\times}10^{4}$ to 0.05Torr. The etch rate reached a maximum value at the position of 2.5cm from the bottom of plasma cavity. Etch rate uniformity was $\pm$6% across 6cm wafer. Anisotropic index was 0.75 at 1.5${\times}10^{-4}$Torr.
