The demand for low-friction, wear and corrosion resistant components, which operate under severe conditions, has directed attentions to advanced surface engineering technologies. The Filtered Vacuum Arc Cathode Deposition (FVACD) process has demonstrated atomically smooth surface at relatively high deposition rates over large surface areas. Preparation of Ti-Si-C-N nanocomposite coatings on (100) Si and stainless steel substrates with tetramethylsilane (TMS) gas pressures to optimize the film preparation conditions. Ti-S-C-N coatings were characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, nanoindentation, Rockwell C indentation and ball-on-disk wear tests. The XRD results have confirmed phase formation information of TiSiCN coatings, which shows mixing of TiN and TiC structure, corresponding to (111), (200) and (220) planes of TiCN. The chemical composition of the film was investigated by XPS core level spectra. The binding energy of the elements present in the films was estimated using XPS measurements and it shows present of elemental information corresponding to Ti2p, N1s, Si 2p and C1. Film hardness and elastic modulus were measured with a nano-indenter, and film hardness reached 40 GPa. Tribological behaviors of the films were evaluated using a ball-on-disk tribometer, and the films demonstrated properties of low-friction and good wear resistance.

In odor to set high saturation magnetization and coercivity, it had need to orient axis of easy magnetization of CoCr-based thin film perpendicular direction(c-axis) to the substrate plane. It was known that crystalline orientation of CoCr-based thin film was improved by introducing underlayer like Ti, Ge. We prepared singlelayer and double layer with Si underlayer by Facing Targets Sputtering System. As a result, intensity and c-axis dispersion angle ${\Delta}{\theta}_{50}$ of singlelayer were improved with increasing film thickness. Also, it was found that CoCr/Si and CoCrTa/Si double layer showed good c-axis dispersion angle due to introducing Si.

As packing density in integrated circuits increases, multilevel metallization process has been widely used. But hillock formed in the bottom layers of aluminum are well known to make interlayer short in multilevel metallization. In this study, the effects of ion implantation to the metal film and deposition temperature on the hillock formation were investigated. The Al-1%Si thin film of $1{\mu}m$ thickness was DC sputtered with substrate ($SiO_2/Si$) temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. Ar ions ($1{\times}10^{15}cm^{-2}$: 150 keV) and B ions ($1{\times}10^{15}cm^{-2}$, 30 keV, 150 keV) were implanted to the Al-Si thin film. The deposited films were evaluated by SEM, surface profiler and resistance measuring system. As a results, Ar implanting to Al-Si film is very effective to reduce hillock size in the metal deposition temperature below than $200^{\circ}C$, and B implanting to an Al-Si film is effective to reduce hillock density in the high temperature deposition conditions around $400^{\circ}C$. Line width less than $3{\mu}m$ was free of hillock after alloying.

This paper describes the characteristics of cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) films grown on a carbonized Si(100) substrate, using hexamethyldisilane (HMDS, $Si_2(CH_3)_6$) as a safe organosilane single precursor in a nonflammable $H_2$/Ar ($H_2$ in Ar) mixture carrier gas by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) at $1280^{\circ}C$. The growth process was performed under various conditions to determine the optimized growth and carbonization condition. Under the optimized condition, grown film has a single crystalline 3C-SiC with well crystallinity, small voids, low residual stress, low carrier concentration, and low RMS. Therefore, the 3C-SiC film on the carbonized Si (100) substrate is suitable to power device and MEMS fields.

In order to realize high performance thin film transistor (TFT) on plastic substrate, Si film was deposited on plastic substrate at 170$^{\circ}C$ by using inductivity coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICPCVD). Hydrogen concentration in as-deposited Si film was 3.8% which is much lower than that in film prepared by using conventional plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Si film was deposited as micro crystalline phase rather than amorphous phase even at 170$^{\circ}C$ because of high density plasma. By step-by-step Excimer laser annealing, dehydrogenation and recrystallization of Si film were carried out simultaneously. With step-by-step annealing and optimization of underlayer structure, it has succeeded to achieve large grain size of 300nm by using ICPCVD. Base on these results, poly-Si TFT was fabricated on plastic substrate successfully, and it is sufficient to drive pixels of OLEDs, as well as LCDs.

Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (${\mu}c$-Si:H) thin film for solar cells is prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and physical properties of the ${\mu}c$-Si:H p-layer has been investigated. With respect to stable efficiency, this film is expected to surpass the performance of conventional amorphous silicon based solar cells and very soon be a close competitor to other thin film photovoltaic materials. Silicon in various structural forms has a direct effect on the efficiency of solar cell devices with different electron mobility and photon conversion. A Raman microscope is adopted to study the degree of crystallinity of Si film by analyzing the integrated intensity peaks at 480, 510 and $520\;cm^{-1}$, which corresponds to the amorphous phase (a-Si:H), microcrystalline (${\mu}c$-Si:H) and large crystals (c-Si), respectively. The crystal volume fraction is calculated from the ratio of the crystalline and the amorphous phase. The results are compared with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) for the determination of crystallinity factor. Optical properties such as refractive index, extinction coefficient, and band gap are studied with reflectance spectra.

The surface flatness of heteroepitaxially grown 3C-SiC thin films is a key factor affecting electronic and mechanical device applications. This paper describes the surface flatness of polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films by the gas flow control according to the location change of geometric structure. The polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin film was deposited by APCVD(Atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) at $1200^{\circ}C$ using HMDS(Hexamethyildisilane : $Si_2(CH_3)_6)$ as single precursor, and 5 slm Ar as the main flow gas. According to the location of geometric structure, surface fringes and flatness changed. It shows the distribution of thickness is formed uniformly in the specific location of the geometric structure.

탄소를 포함한 SiOC 박막은 BTMSM과 산소의 혼합 프리커서를 이용하여 CVD방법으로 증착하였다. 전통적으로 유전상수를 측정하기 위해서 MIS(금속/절연막/반도체)방법을 이용하는데 박막의 균일성을 보장할 수 없기 때문에 나타나는 오차의 한계를 보상하기 위해서 광학적인 분석방법과 경도측정 등을 통하여 SiOC 박막이 분극이 낮아지는 영역을 추적하였다. 분극이 낮고 비정질성이 높은 박막에서 유전상수가 낮아지는 특성을 이용하여 유전상수를 도출하였다. 열처리 후 SiOC 박막의 유전상수는 분극의 감소에 의해 감소하였으며, FTIR 분석에 의한 결합신호는 높은 파수 영역으로 이동하였다. 950~1200 cm-1 영역의 주 결합은 Si-C와 Si-O 결합으로 이루어졌으며, Si-O 결합의 강도가 증가한 것은 결합력이 증착한 샘플에서 보다 증가하였다는 것을 의미하며, 열처리 후 더 안정된 박막이 되었다. 열처리 후 SiOC 박막은 유전상수가 2.06으로 낮게 나타났다.

The effects of Si addition on the precipitation processes of in Al-Cu-Si alloy films were studied by the transmission electron microscopy. Deposition of an Al-1.5Cu-1.5Si (wt. %) film at $305^{\circ}C$ resulted in formation of fine, uniformly distributed spherical $\theta$-phase particles due to the precipitation of the $\theta$ and Si phase particles during deposition. For deposition at $435^{\circ}C$, fine $\theta$-phase particles precipitated during wafer cooldown, while coarse Si nodules formed at the sublayer interface during deposition. The film susceptibility to corrosion is discussed in relation to the film microstructure and deposition temperature.

비정질 $SiO_{2}$위에서 증착시킨 $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$합금의 증착온도에 따른 결정성, 미세구조와 조성의 균일성을 X선 회절법과 투과 전자현미겨으로 조사하였고, $Si_{1-x}Ge_x/Sio_2$계면을 고분해능 투과 전자현미경을 이용하여 원자단위로 관찰하였다. Ge의 몰분율을 0.3으로 놓고 증착온도를 $300^{\circ}C,400^{\circ}C,500^{\circ}C,600^{\circ}C,700^{\circ}C$로 변화시키며 Si-MBE로 증착된 박막은 , 분석 결과 $300^{\circ}C$에서는 비정질상만이 존재하였고 $400^{\circ}C$에서는 결정상과 비정질상이 공존하고 있었다. 두상은 $SiO_2$위에 함께 증착되었으나 초기 성장에서는 비정질상이 주로 성장되었으며 박막의 두께가 비정질층이 관찰되었다. $600^{\circ}C$이상에서는 결정상으로만 증착되었다. 증착된 다결정상은 주상성장을 하였다. 증착된 박막의 조성은 중착온도에 관계없이 균일하였으며, $Si_{1-x}Ge_x/Sio_2$계면은 다결정상이나 비정질상에 관계없이 평탄하였다.
