Recently, the discharge of global warming gases in dry etching process of TFT-LCD display industry is a serious issue because perfluorocarbon compound (PFC) gas causes global warming effects. PFCs including CF4, C2F6, C3F8, CHF3, NF3 and SF6 are widely used as etching and cleaning gases. In particular, the SF6 gas is chemically stable compounds. However, these gases have large global warming potential (GWP100 = 24,900) and lifetime (3,200). In this work, we chose C3F6O gas which has a very low GWP (GWP100 = <100) and lifetime (< 1) as a replacement gas. This study investigated the effects of the gas flow ratio of C3F6O/O2 and process pressure in dual-frequency capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) etcher on global warming effects. Also, we compared global warming effects of C3F6O gas with those of SF6 gas during dry etching of a patterned positive type photo-resist/silicon nitride/glass substrate. The etch rate measurements and emission of by-products were analyzed by scanning electron Microscopy (SEM; HITACI, S-3500H) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR; MIDAC, I2000), respectively. Calculation of MMTCE (million metric ton carbon equivalents) based on the emitted by-products were performed during etching by controlling various process parameters. The evaluation procedure and results will be discussed in detail.

반도체 회로를 제조하기 위해서 에칭, 세척, 증착 등의 공정들이 반복적으로 진행된다. 따라서 이러한 공정이 진행되면 진공장비 내부는 부식성이 높은 가혹한 플라즈마 환경에 노출되게 된다. 따라서 반도체 공정 장비의 내부를 플라즈마 노출에 강한 재료를 사용하여 코팅층의 에칭과 오염 입자의 생성을 최소화하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 고상합성법에 의해 Y₂O₃와 YF₃ 분말을 원료물질로 옥시불화이트륨(YOF)를 성공적으로 합성하였다. Y₂O₃와 YF₃ 분말의 혼합비율은 1.0:1.0에서 1.0:1.6까지 조절하였으며, 혼합비율이 합성된 YOF 분말의 결정구조와 미세구조에 미치는 영향을 XRD와 FE-SEM으로 조사하였다. 합성된 YOF 분말을 이용하여 알루미늄 기판에 플라즈마 스프레이법으로 성공적으로 코팅하였다.

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.

We have developed ZnO TFT array using conventional photolithography and wet etching processes. Transparent 20 nm of ultra thin ZnO film deposited by means of plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition at $100^{\circ}C$ was used for the active channel. The ZnO TFT has a mobility of $0.59cm^2/V.s$, a threshold voltage of 7.2V, sub-threshold swing of 0.64V/dec., and an on/off ratio of $10^8$.

It is shown that fundamental plasma characteristic, which are sheath voltage and ion concentration, can be derived from measuring RF impedence. Plasma characteristics from this simple method are verified by direct measuring, to be reasonable. Using these values a new relation between isotropy and the ratio of sheath voltage to ion concentration is derived. For etch in which $CF_4$ is used, anisotropic etch can be achieved in its order $10^{-12}Vcm^3$ and isotropic etch in $10^{-12}Vcm^3$. These results are useful in every asymetric diode type etch system.

Novel Enhanced Inductively Coupled Plasma is applied to etch $SiO_2$. Effect of $O_2$ or Ar addition to $C_{4}F_{8}$ gas is monitored by Optical Emission Spectroscopy and Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer. It is fund that Ar or $O_2$ dilution to $C_{4}F_{8}$ increases F emission intensity and decreases $CF_2$ intensity. However, the ac frequency to the Helmholtz coil decreases the F intensity and thus increases $CF_2$/F ratio. By adjusting the ac frequency, the optimum etch rate and PR to $SiO_2$ selectivity can be obtained in E-lCP.

Deopsition of thermal quality SiO2 using a high density plasma ECR CVD process has been demonstrated to give void and seam free gap fill of high aspect ratio metallization structures with a simple oxygen-silane chemistry. This is achieved by continuous sputter etching of the film during the deposition process. A two-step process is utilized to deposit a composite layer for higher manufacturing efficiency. The first step, which has a deposition rate of approximately 0.5 $\mu$m/min., is used to provide complete gap fill between the metal lines. The second step, which has a deposition rate of up to 1.5 $\mu$m/min., is used to deposit a total thickness of 2.0$\mu$m for the intermetal dielectric film. The topography of this composite film is very compatible with subsequent chemicl mechanical polishing(CMP) planarization processing.

Surface-normal transmission electro-absorption modulator (EAM) are attractive for high-definition (HD) three-dimensional (3D) imaging application due to its features such as small system volume and simple epitaxial structure [1,2]. However, EAM in order to be used for HD 3D imaging system requires uniform modulation performance over large area. To achieve highly uniform modulation performance of EAM at the operating wavelength of 850 nm, it is extremely important to remove the GaAs substrate over large area since GaAs material has high absorption coefficient below 870 nm which corresponds to band-edge energy of GaAs (1.424 eV). In this study, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a transmission EAM in which highly selective backside etching methods which include lapping, dry etching and wet etching is carried out to remove the GaAs substrate for achieving highly uniform modulation performance. First, lapping process on GaAs substrate was carried out for different lapping speeds (5 rpm, 7 rpm, 10 rpm) and the thickness was measured over different areas of surface. For a lapping speed of 5 rpm, a highly uniform surface over a large area ($2{\times}1\;mm^2$) was obtained. Second, optimization of inductive coupled plasma-reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) was carried out to achieve anisotropy and high etch rate. The dry etching carried out using a gas mixture of SiCl4 and Ar, each having a flow rate of 10 sccm and 40 sccm, respectively with an RF power of 50 W, ICP power of 400 W and chamber pressure of 2 mTorr was the optimum etching condition. Last, the rest of GaAs substrate was successfully removed by highly selective backside wet etching with pH adjusted solution of citric acid and hydrogen peroxide. Citric acid/hydrogen peroxide etching solution having a volume ratio of 5:1 was the best etching condition which provides not only high selectivity of 235:1 between GaAs and AlAs but also good etching profile [3]. The fabricated transmission EAM array have an amplitude modulation of more than 50% at the bias voltage of -9 V and maintains high uniformity of >90% over large area ($2{\times}1\;mm^2$). These results show that the fabricated transmission EAM with substrate removed is an excellent candidate to be used as an optical shutter for HD 3D imaging application.

본 논문에서는 다양한 안테나 면적을 가지는 다결정실리콘(poly-Si) 및 폴리사이드(polycide) 게이트 물질을 게이트로 갖는 커패시터 및 n/p-MOS 트랜지스터를 사용하여 AAR(Antenna Area Ratio)의 크기에 따른 플라즈마 피해를 측정 및 분석하였다. 플라즈마 공정에 대한 신뢰도 특성을 조사하기 위해, MOS 소자의 게이트 물질을 달리하여 플라즈마 공정에 대한 초기 특성 및 F-N 스트레스와 hot carrier 스트레스 인가시의 n/p-MOSFET의 열화 특성을 측정한 결과 금속 AR에 의하여 플라즈마 공정의 영향을 받는 것으로 관찰되었다. 폴리사이드 게이트 구조가 다결정실리콘 게이트 구조보다 AAR에 따른 정전류 스트레스 인가시의 TDDB(Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown)및 게이트 전압의 변화 등과 같은 신뢰성 특성에서 상당히 개선됨을 알 수 있었다. 이는 텅스텐 폴리사이드 형성 공정 중에 불소가 게이트 산화막에 함유되었기 때문인 것으로 설명할 수 있으며, 게이트 물질로 폴리사이드를 사용한 소자에서 플라즈마 영향을 줄일 수 있다는 사실이 차세대 MOS 소자의 게이트 박막으로 폴리사이드 게이트 박막을 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

450 mm의 웨이퍼 공정용 플라즈마 장비의 개발을 위하여 안테나 형상, 챔버의 직경, 웨이퍼까지의 거리에 따른 플라즈마 균일도를 Ar과 $CF_4$에 대하여 축대칭 2차원으로 수치 모델링하였다. 챔버의 종횡비를 직경, 기판까지의 거리, 배기구의 면적으로 나누어서 결정하고 여기에 안테나 구조를 변경하여서 최적의 플라즈마 균일도를 갖는 조건을 도출하였다. Drift diffusion식과 준중성 조건을 이용한 간략화를 이용하였으며 표면 재결합과 식각 반응을 이온에너지의 함수로 처리하였다. 반응기판 표면에서의 플라즈마 밀도 균일도는 기판 홀더와 챔버 벽면과의 거리, 기판과 소스와의 거리가 멀수록 좋아졌으며, 안테나의 디자인이 4 turn으로 1층인 경우, 두 번째, 네 번째 turn만 사용하여 전류비 1 : 4에서 기판표면에서의 플라즈마 균일도를 4.7%까지 낮출 수 있었다. Ar과 $CF_4$의 반경 방향으로 전자 온도 균일도 50%, 전자 밀도 균일도 19%의 차이가 있었다.
