  • Quiescent filaments are bigger, more stable, and longer lived than active region filaments. So, the shape of a quiescent filament changes little during its lifetime and a fast motion of plasma rarely occurs. But when it is dynamically influenced by external phenomena, a rapid motion of plasma may temporarily occur. By analyzing the motion of plasma we can infer some of the magnetic structure permeating such an excited quiescent filament. We analyzed the H$\alpha$ images of a quiescent filament in the northern hemisphere that was observed at Big Bear Solar Observatory on 2004 August 2, and found that: 1) the filament was excited by a flare that occurred in a remote active region located in the southern hemisphere, 2) By this excitation, a part of the filament moved vertically upward and horizontally out of main body, and then it stayed there without much motion. Then after it moved vertically downward and horizontally to the main body, 3) the final position of plasma, however, was not the same as the initial position, being about 14Mm above it. We suggest that the filament was initially in a more or less static equilibrium. The excitation of the filament broke the initial equilibrium, and then brought about a new one that is different from the original one. Since the filament should have magnetic field, it is likely that both the equilibria may have been maintained by diplike magnetic structures. Furthermore, the transition from one equilibrium to another as we inferred should have accompanied a permanent change of magnetic configuration as well.

  • Undetected wafer slip during the lift pin-down motion in semiconductor equipment may affect the center to edge variation, wafer warpage, and pattern misalignment in plasma equipment. Direct measuring of the amount of wafer slip inside the plasma process chamber is not feasible because of the hardware space limitation inside the plasma chamber. In this paper, we demonstrated a practice for the wafer lift pin-up and down motions with respect to the gear ratio, operating voltage, and pulse width modulation to maintain accurate wafer position using remote control linear servo motor with an experimentally designed chamber mockup. We noticed that the pin moving velocity and gear ratio are the most influencing parameters to be control, and the step-wised position control algorithm showed the most suitable for the reduction of wafer slip.

  • The ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene ($VF_2$-TrFE) and $Al_2O_3$ passivation layer for the Metal/Insulator/Ferroelectric/Semiconductor (MIFS) structure were deposited using spin coating and remote plasma atomic layer deposition (RPALD), respectively. A 2.5 ~ 3 wt % diluted solution of purified vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene ($VF_2$: TrFE=70:30) in a DMF solution were prepared and deposited on silicon wafer at a optimized spin speed. After annealing in a vacuum ambient at 150 ~ $200^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, upper insulator layer were deposited at temperature ranging from 100 ~ $150^{\circ}C$ by RPALD. We described electrical and structural properties of MIFS fabricated by spin coating and RPALD methods.

  • Transparent and conducting tin oxide films were prepared on Pyrex glass substrates by the remote plasma chemical vapor deposition (RPCVD). The main control variables of the RPCVD process included the deposition time, the flow rates of tetramethyltin, oxygen and argon, the radio-frequency power, and the substrate temperature. Dependence of the deposition rate, electric resistivity, optical transmittance and crystal structure on these parameters was systematically examined to prepare high qualities of tin oxide films and to better understand RPCVD process. The effect of those parameters on the properties of tin oxide films in complicatedly related on another. A tin oxide film parameters on the protimized deposition conditions exhibited deposition rate of 102 $\AA$/min, electric resistivity of $9.7\times 10^{-3}\Omega$cm and visible transmittance of ~80%.

  • Silicon films were deposited at $430^{\circ}C$ by remote plasma chemical vapor deposition(RPECVD) with a gas mixture of $Si_2H_6/SiF_4/H_2$. The silicon films deposited without and with $SiF_4$ were characterized using atomic force microscopy(AFM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). Both silicon films have the same rugged surface morphology, but, the silicon film deposited with $SiF_4$ exhibits more rugged. The silicon film deposited without $SiF_4$ is amorphous, whereas the silicon film deposited with $SiF_4$ is polycrystalline with very small needle-like grains which are perpendicular to the substrate and uniformly distributed in the thickness of the film. The silicon film deposited with $SiF_4$ was found to have a preferred orientation along the growth direction with the<110> of the film parallel to the <111> of the substrate. The effect of $SiF_4$ during RPECVD was discussed.

  • We investigated the impact of NF3 / H2O remote plasma dry cleaning conditions on the SiO2 etching rate at different preparation states during the fabrication of ultra-large-scale integration (ULSI) devices. This included consideration of factors like Si crystal orientation prior to oxidation and three-dimensional structures. The dry cleaning process were carried out varying the parameters of pressure, NF3 flow rate, and H2O flow rate. We found that the pressure had an effective role in controlling anisotropic etching when a thin SiO2 layer was situated between Si3N4 and Si layers in a multilayer trench structure. Based on these observations, we would like to provide further guidelines for implementing the dry cleaning process in the fabrication of semiconductor devices having 3D structures.
