chemical mechanical Polishing (CMP)공정 중 제거된 막과 연마재의 지꺼기를 제거하기 위하여 일반적으로 사용하는 scrubbing과 같은 기계적인 세정법으로는 기가급 소자 제조시에 요구되는 $10^{10}/\textrm{cm}^2$ 이하의 오염도에 도달하기 어렵다. 따라서 이러한 기계적인 세정법에 이어 충분히 제거되지 못한 금속오염물을 제거하기 위한 2차 세정이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 리모트 플라스마 세정법과 UV/$O_3$ 세정법을 사용하여 oxide CMP 후에 웨이퍼 표면에 많이 존재하는 K, Fe, Cu등의 금속오염물을 제거하는데 대한 연구결과를 보고하고자 한다. 리모트 수소 플라스마 세정결과에 의하면, 세정시간이 짧을 수록, rf-power가 증가할수록 세정 효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, CMP 공정 후 웨이퍼 표면에 특히 많이 존재하는 금속 불순물인 K, Fe, Cu 등의 오염 제거를 위한 최적 공정 조건은 세정시간이 1분, rf-power가 100 W인 것으로 나타났다. AFM 분석 결과에 의하면 rf-power의 증가에 따라 표면 거칠기가 미소하게 증가하는데 , 이것은 플라스마에 의한 손상 때문인 것으로 보이나 그 정도는 무시할만하다. 한편, UV/$O_3$ 세정의 경우에는 세정공정시간이 30 sec일때 가장 우수한 세정효과가 얻어졌다. 리모트 수소 플라스마 및 UV/$O_3$ 세정방법에 의한 Si 웨이퍼 표면의 금속 불순물 제거기구는 Si표면 금속오염의 하단층에 생성된 $SiO_2H^+$/ 및 $e^-$와 반응하여 $SiO^*$상태로 휘발될 때 금속불순물이 $SiO^*$에 묻어서 함께 제거되는 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, two kinds of initial oxidation methods i.e., SLTO(Slow Low Temperature Oxidation: $700^{\circ}C$) and RTO(Rapid Thermal Oxidation: $850^{\circ}C$) are applied prior to the plasma nitridation for ultra thin oxide of RPNO (Remote Plasma Nitrided Oxide). It is observed that SLTO has superior characteristics to RTO such as lower SS(Sub-threshold Slope) and improved Ion-Ioff characteristics. Low frequency noise characteristics of SLTO also showed better than RTO both in linear and saturation regime. It is shown that flicker noise is dominated by carrier number fluctuation in the channel region. Therefore, SLTO is promising for nano-scale CMOS technology with ultra thin gate oxide.

We investigated the Si_1-xGe_x surface properties when dry cleaning the films using NF₃ / H₂O remote plasma. After the dry cleaning process, it was found that about 80-250 nm wide bumps were formed on the SiGe surface regardless of Ge concentration in the rage of x = 0.1 ~ 0.3. In addition, effects of the dry cleaning processing parameters such as pressure, substrate temperature, and H₂O flow rates were examined. It was found that the surface bump is significantly dependent on the flow rate of H₂O. Based on these observations, we would like to provide additional guidelines for implementing the dry cleaning process to SiGe materials.

Iridium-catalyzed carbon nanofilaments were formed on MgO substrate as a function of the gap between the substrate and the plasma using microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Under the remote plasma condition, carbon nanofibers were formed on the substrate. Under the adjacent plasma condition, on the other hand, carbon nanotubes-like materials instead of carbon nanofibers could be formed. When the substrate immersed into the plasma, any carbon nanofilaments formation couldn't be observed. During the reaction, the substrate temperatures were measured as a function of the gap. Based on these results, the cause for the different carbon nanofilaments formation according to the gap was discussed.

Deposition properties and film characteristics of Remote PECVD silicon dioxide were investigated. Using $N_{2}O/SiH_{4}$, the effects of changing the process conditions` the pressure, the substrate temperature, and the gas mixing ration, on the film quality were observed. A comparison of film qualites of the Remote PECVD SiO$_2$ with that of a Direct PECVD SiO$_2$ was made. The experimental results show that the Remote PECVD SiO$_2$ has better electrical, physical, and annealing properties than the Direct PECVD oxide.

Fluid model based numerical analysis is done to simulate a low damage etch back system for 20 nm scale semiconductor fabrication. Etch back should be done conformally with very high material selectivity. One possible mechanism is three steps: reactive radical generation, adsorption and thermal desorption. In this study, plasma generation and transport steps are analyzed by a commercial plasma modeling software package, CFD-ACE+. Ar + $CF_4$ ICP was used as a model and the effect of reactive gas inlet position was investigated in 2D and 3D. At 200~300 mTorr of gas pressure, separated gas inlet scheme is analyzed to work well and generated higher density of F and $F_2$ radicals in the lower chamber region while suppressing ions reach to the wafer by a double layer conducting barrier.

Defects formation of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond on $^4He^{2+}$ irradiation and after remote hydrogen plasma treatment(RHPT) were investigated by cathodoluminescence(CL). As calculated in the TRIM simulation, the light elements of $^4He^{2-}$ can be penetrated into the diamond bulk structure at 3~4 $\mu\textrm{m}$ depth. The effects of the implantation region were observed when 5 keV~20 keV electron energy (insight 0.3~4.0$\mu\textrm{m}$) of CL measurement was irradiated to diamond at temperature 80 K. After the RHPT, rehybridization of irradiation damaged diamond was studied. The intensity of 5RL center(intrinsic defect of C) was diminished. The 2.16 eV center (N-V center) occurring usually by annealing could not be seen after RHPT. The diamond was rehybridized by hydrogen radicals without etching and thermal degradation by the RHPT.

This paper proposes to increase the node energy efficiency, which rapidly drops during the transmission of L-TEEN (Layered Threshold sensitive Energy Efficient sensor Network protocol), using the method of DL-TEEN (Dual-hop Layered TEEN). By introducing dual-hop method in the data transmission, the proposed single-hop method for short-range transmission and multi-hop transmission method between the cluster heads for remote transmission was introduce. By introducing a partial multi-hop method in the data transmission, a single-hop method for short range transmission method between the cluster heads for remote transmission was introduces. In the proposed DL-TEEN, the energy consumption of cluster head for remote transmission reduces and increases the energy efficiency of sensor node by reducing the transmission distance and simplifying the transmission routine for short-range transmission. As compared the general L-TEEN, it was adapted to a wider sensor field.
