The back contact solar cell (BCSC) has several advantages compared to the conventional solar cell since it can reduce grid shadowing loss and contact resistance between the electrode and the silicon substrate. This paper presents the effect of the surface texturing of the silicon BCSC by varying the texturing depth or the texturing gap in the commercially available simulation software, ATHENA and ATLAS of the company SILVACO. The texturing depth was varied from $5{\mu}m$ to $150{\mu}m$ and the texturing gap was varied from $1{\mu}m$ to $100{\mu}m$ in the simulation. The resulting efficiency of the silicon BCSC was evaluated depending on the texturing condition. The quantum efficiency and the I-V curve of the designed silicon BCSC was also obtained for the analysis since they are closely related with the solar cell efficiency. Other parameters of the simulated silicon BCSC are as follows. The substrate was an n-type silicon, which was doped with phosphorous at $6{\times}10^{15}cm^{-3}$, and its thickness was $180{\mu}m$, a typical thickness of commercial solar cell substrate thickness. The back surface field (BSF) was $1{\times}10^{20}\;cm^{-3}$ and the doping concentration of a boron doped emitter was $8.5{\times}10^{19}\;cm^{-3}$. The pitch of the silicon BCSC was $1250{\mu}m$ and the anti-reflection coating (ARC) SiN thickness was $0.079{\mu}m$. It was assumed that the texturing was anisotropic etching of crystalline silicon, resulting in texturing angle of 54.7 degrees. The best efficiency was 25.6264% when texturing depth was $50{\mu}m$ with zero texturing gap in case of low texturing depth (< $100{\mu}m$).

PURPOSE. This study compared the effect of three intraoral repair systems on the bond strength between composite resin and zirconia core. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thirty zirconia specimens were divided into three groups according to the repair method: Group I-CoJet$^{TM}$ Repair System (3M ESPE) [chairside silica coating with $30{\mu}m$ $SiO_2$ + silanization + adhesive]; Group II-Ceramic Repair System (Ivoclar Vivadent) [etching with 37% phosphoric acid + Zirconia primer + adhesive]; Group III-Signum Zirconia Bond (Heraus) [Signum Zirconia Bond I + Signum Zirconia Bond II]. Composite resin was polymerized on each conditioned specimen. The shear bond strength was tested using a universal testing machine, and fracture sites were examined with FE-SEM. Surface morphology and wettability after surface treatments were examined additionally. The data of bond strengths were statistically analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Tamhane post hoc test (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. Increased surface roughness and the highest wettability value were observed in the CoJet sand treated specimens. The specimens treated with 37% phosphoric acid and Signum Zirconia Bond I did not show any improvement of surface irregularity, and the lowest wettability value were found in 37% phosphoric acid treated specimens. There was no significant difference in the bond strengths between Group I ($7.80{\pm}0.76$ MPa) and III ($8.98{\pm}1.39$ MPa). Group II ($3.21{\pm}0.78$ MPa) showed a significant difference from other groups (P<.05). CONCLUSION. The use of Intraoral silica coating system and the application of Signum Zirconia Bond are effective for increasing the bond strength of composite resin to zirconia.

다공질 실리콘을 열산화할 때 산화의 온도 의존성과 IR흡수 스펙트럼을 조사하여 다공질 실리콘외 산화특성을 조사하였다. PSL(porous silicon layer)을 $700^{\circ}C$에서 1시간, $1100^{\circ}C$에서 1시간으로 2단계 습식산화시켜 bulk 실리콘의 열산화막과 같은 성질의 수십 ${\mu}m$두께의 OPSL(oxidized porous silicon layer)을 짧은 시간에 형성시킬 수 있으며, 식각율과 항복전계는 산화온도와 산화 분위기에 크게 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 이때 PSL의 산화율은 약 390nm/s이고, 항복전계는 1.0MV/cm~2.0MV/cm의 분포를 갖는다. 웨이퍼 휨을 측정하여 고온 열산화시 발생하는 산화막의 stress를 조사하였다. $1000^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 건식산화할 경우 발생하는 stress는 ${10^2}dyne/{cm^2}~{10^10}dyne/{cm^2}$로 측정되었다.

첨단산업으로 불리는 반도체, LCD, PDP, 유기EL(OLED) 등의 생산 공정은 고도의 청정상태를 요구하며, 때문에 이들의 생산공정 중 대부분이 클린룸 내에서 이루어진다. 클린룸 내에서의 주요공정은 크게 박막형성(Layering), 노광(Photo Lithography), 식각(Etching) 등 3가지 공정으로 나눌 수 있으며, 반도체 제조공정의 경우 특별히 도핑(Doping) 공정이 추가된다. 오염물질을 함유하는 클린룸 배기는 일반적으로 산, 알칼리, Toxic(PFCs, Flammable), VOC 등으로 분류하며, 각각의 배기는 각 배기특성에 맞는 오염제어 장치를 통해, 정화된 후, 대기로 방출된다. 산, 알칼리 배기는 일반적으로 최종 단계에서 중앙집중식 습식스크러버에 의해 흡수, 중화 처리되며, VOC의 경우 농축기(Concentrator) & 축열식 열 산화장치(RTO) 설비에 의해 연소 처리된다. 하지만 CVD공정으로부터의 배기가 주를 이루는 Toxic배기의 경우, 다량의 PFCs(과불소화합물) 가스를 함유하고 있는 이유로, 대부분 클린룸 내부에 P.O.U(Point of use) 처리장치가 설치되며, P.O.U에 의해 1차 처리된 후 최종적으로 중앙집중식 습식스크러버를 거쳐 대기로 방출된다. 알칼리배기의 주성분으로는 암모니아($NH_3$), HMDS (Hexa Methyl DiSilazane), TMAH (Tetra Methyl Ammonium Hydroxide), LGL, CD 등이며 흡수액에 황산(Sulfuric Acid)용액을 공급, 중화처리하고 있다. 탄소성분을 먹이로 하는 미생물의 번식에 의한 막힘 문제를 제외하고는 큰 문제가 없다. 하지만 Toxic배기 및 산배기의 경우 처리효율이, 가스흡수 이론에 의한 계산결과와 비교할 때, 매우 저조하게 나타나는 효율부족 현상을 겪고 있으며, 이는 잔여 PFCs 가스성분 및 반응에어로졸, 응축에어로졸 등의 영향으로 추정하고 있다. 최근 Toxic 배기의 경우, P.O.U 설비를 Burn & Wet type으로 변경하여, 배기 중 PFCs 및 반응에 에어로졸($SiO_2$)의 농도를 원천적으로 감소시키는 노력이 진행 중이다. 산배기의 경우, 산결로 현상에 의한, 응축에어로졸이 문제가 되고 있으나 내식열교환기(Anti-Corrosive Heat Exchanger), 하전액적스크러버 시스템(Charged Droplets Scrubber System), Wet ESP(Wet Electrostatic Procipitator) 등의 도입을 통해 문제해결을 위한 노력을 경주하고 있다.

Multi-crystalline silicon solar cells is not exist a specific crystal direction different from single crystalline silicon solar cells. In functional materials, therefore, isotropic wet etching of mc-Si solar cell is easy the acid solution rather than the alkaline solution. The reflectance of wet texturing process is about 25% and the reflectance of RIE texturing process is achieved less than 10%. In addition, wet texturing has many disadvantages as well as reflectance. So wet texturing process has been replaced by a RIE texturing process. In order to apply BIPV, RIE and wet textured multi-crystalline silicon solar cell modules was manufactured by different kind of EVA sheet. Moreover, in case of BIPV, the short circuit current characteristics according to the angle of incidence is more important, because the installation of BIPV is fixed location. In this study, we has measured SEM image and I-V curve of RIE and wet textured silicon solar cell and PV module. Also we has analyzed quantum efficiency characteristics of RIE and wet textured silicon solar cell for PV modules depending on incidence angle.

GaN과 같은 III-nitride 반도체 관한 식각 기술의 연구는 blue-emitting laser diode(LD)를 위한 경면(mirror facet)의 형성뿐만아니라 새로운 display 용도의 light emitting diodes (LED), 고온에서 작동되는 광전소자 제조 등에도 그 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 최근에는 III-nitride 물질의 높은 식각속도와 미려하고 수직한 식각형상을 이루기 위하여 ECR(Electron Cyclotron Resonance)이나 ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma)와 같은 고밀도 플라즈마 식각과 CAIBE(Chemically assisted ion beam etching)를 이용한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 현재 제조되어 지고 있는 LED 및 LD와 같은 광소자의 구조의 대부분은 p-GaN/AlGaN/InGaN(Q.W)/AlGaN/n-GaN 와 같은 여러 층의 형태로 이루어져 있다. 이중 InGaN는 광소자나 전자소자의 특성에 영향을 주는 가장 중요한 부분으로써 현재까지 보고된 식각연구는 undoped GaN에 대부분 집중되고 있고 이에 비해 소자 특성에 핵심을 이루는 InGaN의 식각특성에 관한 연구는 미흡한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 고밀도 플라즈마원인 ICP 장비를 이용하여 InGaN를 식각하였고, 식각에는 Cl2/CH4, Cl2/Ar 플라즈마를 사용하였다. InGaN의 식각특성에 영향을 미치는 플라즈마의 특성을 관찰하기 위하여 quadrupole mass spectrometry(QMS)와 optical emission spectroscopy(PES)를 사용하였다. 기판 온도는 5$0^{\circ}C$, 공정 압력은 5,Torr에서 30mTorr로 변화시켰고 inductive power는 200~800watt, bias voltage는 0~-200voltage로 변화시켰으며 식각마스크로는 SiO2를 patterning 하여 사용하였다. n-GaN, p-GaN 층 이외에 광소자 제조시 필수적인 InGaN 층을 100% Cl2로 식각한 경우에 InGaN의 식각속도가 GaN에 비해 매우 낮은 식각속도를 보였다. Cl2 gas에 소량의 CH4나 Ar gas를 첨가하는 경우와 공정압력을 감소시키는 경우 식각속도는 증가하였고, Cl2/10%Ar 플라즈마에서 공정 압력을 감소시키는 경우 식각속도는 증가하였고, Cl2/10%CHF3 와 Cl2/10%Ar 플라즈마에서 공정압력을 15mTorr로 감소시키는 경우 InGaN과 GaNrks의 선택적인 식각이 가능하였다. InGaN의 식각속도는 Cl2/Ar 플라즈마의 이온에 의한 Cl2/CHF3(CH4) 플라즈마에서의 CHx radical 형성에 의하여 증가하는 것으로 사료되어 진다.

For more than two decades Nb trilayer ($Nb/Al_2O_3/Nb$) process has been serving as the most stable fabrication process of the Josephson junction integrated circuits. Fast development of semiconductor fabrication technology has been possible with the recent advancement of the fabrication equipments. In this work, we took an advantage of advanced fabrication equipments in developing a superconducting Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) by using Nb trilayers. The ALU is a core element of a computer processor that performs arithmetic and logic operations on the operands in computer instruction words. We used DC magnetron sputtering technique for metal depositions and RF sputtering technique for $SiO_2$ depositions. Various dry etching techniques were used to define the Josephson junction areas and film pattering processes. Our Nb films were stress free and showed the $T{_c}'s$ of about 9 K. To enhance the step coverage of Nb films we used reverse bias powered DC magnetron sputtering technique. The fabricated 1-bit, 2-bit, and 4-bit ALU circuits were tested at a few kilo-hertz clock frequency as well as a few tens giga-hertz clock frequency, respectively. Our 1-bit ALU operated correctly at up to 40 GHz clock frequency, and the 4-bit ALU operated at up to 5 GHz clock frequency.
