This paper describes the characteristics of poly 3C-SiC micro resonators with $3{\times}10^{17}{\sim}1{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$ doping concentrations. The 1.2 ${\mu}m$ thick cantilever and the 0.4 ${\mu}m$ thick doubly clamped beam resonators with different lengths were fabricated using poly 3C-SiC thin films. The characteristics of poly 3C-SiC micro resonators were evaluated by quartz and a laser vibrometer in vacuum at room temperature. The resonant frequencies of micro resonators decreased with doping concentrations owing to reduction in the Young's modulus of poly 3C-SiC thin films. It was confirmed that the resonant frequencies of poly 3C-SiC resonators are controllable by doping concentrations. Therefore, poly 3C-SiC resonators could be applied to MEMS devices and bio/chemical sensor applications.

Polycrystalline silicon carbide (SiC) thick films were depostied by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) using CH3SiCl3 (MTS) and H2 gaseous mixture onto isotropic graphite substrate. Effects of deposition variables on the SiC film were investigated. Deposition rate had been found to be surface-reaction controlled below reactor temperature of 120$0^{\circ}C$ and mass-transport controlled over 125$0^{\circ}C$. Apparent activation energy value decreased below 120$0^{\circ}C$ and deposition rate decreased above 125$0^{\circ}C$ by depletion effect of the reactant gas in the direction of flow in a horizontal hot wall reactor. Microstructure of the as-deposited SiC films was strongly influenced by deposition temperature and position. Microstructural change occurred greater in the mass transport controlled region than surface reaction controlled region. The as-deposited SiC layers in this experiment showed stoichiometric composition and there were no polytype except for $\beta$-SiC. The preferred orientation plane of the polycrystalline SiC layers was (220) plane at a high reactant gas concentration in the mass transfer controlled region. As depletion effect of reactant concentration was increased, SiC films preferentially grow as (111) plane.

This paper presents deposition and characterizations of microcrystalline silicon$({\mu}c-Si:H)$ films prepared by hot wire chemical vapor deposition at substrate temperature below $300^{\circ}C$. The $SiH_{4}$ concentration$[F(SiH_{4})/F(SiH_{4})+F(H_{2})]$ is critical parameter for the formation of Si films with microcrystalline phase. At 6% of silane concentration, deposited intrinsic ${\mu}c-Si:H$ films shows sufficiently low dark conductivity and high photo sensitivity for solar cell applications. P-type ${\mu}c-Si:H$ films deposited by Hot-Wire CVD also shows good electrical properties by varying the rate of $B_{2}H_{6}$ to $SiH_{4}$ gas. The solar cells with structure of Al/nip ${\mu}c-Si:H$/TCO/glass was fabricated with single chamber Hot-Wire CVD. About 3% solar efficiency was obtained and applicability of HWCVD for thin film solar cells was proven in this research.

Growth of cubic SiC has been carried out on oxided Si substrate using atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD). Hexamethyldisilane (HMDS) was used as the single precursor and nonflammable mixture of Ar and $H_2$ was used as carrier gas. Epitaxial growth had performed depositions under the various $H_2$ conditions which were adjusted from 0 to 100 seem. The effects of $H_2$ was characterized by surface roughness, thickness uniformity, films quality and elastic modulus. Thickness uniformity and films quality were performed by SEM. Surface roughness and elastic modulus were investigated by AFM and Nano-indentor, respectively. According to the $H_2$ flow rate, Poly 3C-SiC thin film quality was improved not only physical but also mechanical properties.

The polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films heteroepitaxially grown by LPCVD method using single precursor 1. 3-disilabutane at $850^{\circ}C$. The crystallinity of the 3C-SiC thin film. was analyzed by XPS. Residual strain was investigated by Raman scattering. The surface morphology and voids between SiC and $SiO_2$ were measured by SEM. The grown poly 3C-SiC thin film is very good crystalline quality, surface like mirror, and low defect and strain. Therefore, the polycrystalline 3C-SiC is suitable for harsh environment MEMS applications.

We investigated the effects of SiH$_4$ gas on the surface of Hf-silicate films during the deposition of polycrystalline (poly) Si films and the thermal stability of sputtered Hf-silicate films in poly Si/Hf-silicate structure by using High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Hf-silicate films were deposited by using DC-mag-netron sputtering with Hf target and Si target and poly Si films were deposited at 600$^{\circ}C$ by using Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) with SiH$_4$ gas. After poly Si film deposition at 600$^{\circ}C$, Hf silicide layer was observed between poly Si and Hf-silicate films due to the reaction between active SiH$_4$ gas and Hf-silicate films. After annealing at 900$^{\circ}C$, Hf silicide, formed during the deposition of poly Si, changed to Hf-silicate and the phase separation of the silicate was not observed. In addition, the Hf-silicate films remain amorphous phase.

The characteristics of Ga-doped zinc oxide (GZO) thin films deposited at different deposition temperatures (TS~250 to $550^{\circ}C$) on 4H-SiC have been investigated. Structural and electrical properties of GZO thin film on n-type 4H-SiC(0001) were investigated by using x-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscopy(AFM), Hall effect measurement, barrier height from I-V curve and Auger electron spectroscopy(AES). XRD $2\theta$ scan shows GZO thin film has preferential orientation with c-axis perpendicular to SiC substrate surface. The lowest resistivity ($\sim1.9{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$) was observed for the GZO thin film deposited at $400^{\circ}C$. As deposition temperature increases, barrier height between GZO and SiC was increased. Whereas, resistivity of GZO thin films as well as barrier height between GZO and SiC were increased after annealing process in air atmosphere. It has been found that the c-axis oriented crystalline quality as well as the relative amount of activated Ga3+ ions and oxygen vacancy may affect the electrical properties of GZO films on SiC.

초음파분무를 이용한 MOCVD법으로 강유전체 $PbTiO_3$박막을 Si(100) wafer와 ITO-coated glass위에 제조하였다 Si 기판 위에 증착된 박막으로부터, 출발원료의 농도비(Ti/Pb)가 1.2일 때, 단일 perovskite 상을 얻을 수 있었다. ITO-coated glass 위에 증착된 박막은 Si기판 위에 제조된 박막보다 박막의 성장속도가 더 빠르며, 기판온도를 $530^{\circ}C$부터 $570^{\circ}C$까지 증가시켰을 때, 결절성과 입자 크기의 증가에 의해 유전상수는 증가하였다. $570^{\circ}C$에서의 유전상수 및 유전손실 값은 각각 205, 0.016을 나타내었다. 기판온도가 $600^{\circ}C$ 이상인 경우, 유전상수가 감소되는 경향을 보였다.

Graphite has excellent mechanical and physical properties. It is known to advanced materials and is used to materials for molds, thermal treatment of furnace, sinter of diamond and cemented carbide tool etc. SiC materials are coated on the surface and holes of graphite to protect particles emitted from porous graphite with 5%~20% porosity and make graphite hard surface. SiC materials have high durability and thermal stability. Thermal CVD method is widely used to manufacture SiC thin films but high cost of machine investment and production are required. SiC thin films manufactured by Si reaction liquid and vapore with carbon are effective because of low cost of machine and production. SiC thin films made by vapor silicon infiltration into porous graphite can be obtained for shorter time than liquid silicon. Si materials are evaporated to the graphite surface in about $10^{-2}$ torr and high temperature. Si materials are melted in $1410^{\circ}C$. Si vapor is infiltrated into the surface hole of porous graphite and $Si_xC_y$ compound is made. $Si_x$ component is proportional to the Si vapor concentration. Si diffusion coefficient is estimated from quadratic equation obtained by Fick's second law. The steady stae is assumed. Si concentration variation for the depth from graphite surface is fitted to quadratic equation. Diffusion coefficient of Si vapor is estimated at about $10^{-8}cm^2s^{-1}$.

Raman spectra of poly (polycrystalline) 3C-SiC thin films, which were deposited on the oxidized Si substrate by APCVD, have been measured. They were used to study the mechanical characteristics of poly 3C-SiC grown in various temperatures. TO and LO modes of 2.0 m poly 3C-SiC grown at 1180 C occurred at 794.4 and $965.7\;cm^{-1}$. Their FWHMs (full width half maximum) were used to investigate the stress and the disorder of 3C-SiC. The broad FWHM can explain that the crystallinity of 3C-SiC grown at 1180 C becomes poly crystalline instead of the disordered crystal. The ratio of intensity $I_{(LO)}/I_{(TO)}$ 1.0 means that the crystal defect of 3C-SiC/$SiO_2$/Si is small. The biaxial stress of poly 3C-SiC was obtained as 428 MPa. In the interface of 3C-SiC/$SiO_2$, the phonon mode of C-O bonding appeared at $1122.6\;cm^{-1}$. The phonon modes related to D and G bands of C-C bonding were measured at 1355.8 and $1596.8\;cm^{-1}$ respectively.
