Several industrial applications such as space exploration, aerospace, automotive, the downhole oil and gas industry, and geothermal power plants require specific electronic systems under extremely high temperatures. For the majority of such applications, silicon-based technologies (bulk silicon, silicon-on-insulator) are limited by their maximum operating temperature. Silicon carbide (SiC) has been recognized as one of the prime candidates for providing the desired semiconductor in extremely high-temperature applications. In addition, it has become particularly interesting owing to a Si-compatible process technology for dedicated devices and integrated circuits. This paper briefly introduces a variety of SiC-based integrated circuits for use under extremely high temperatures and covers the technology trend of SiC CMOS devices and processes including the useful implementation of SiC ICs.

An experimental study of the influences of HF concentration, current density, reaction time and the silicon surface, on the formation and properties of porous silicon are reported. The SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) strip lines with 100 um width are fabricated at room temperature by anodic oxidation of PSL (Porous Silicon Layers). The stress on the silicon island induced by the anodic oxidation can be avoided by the two-step PSL formation technique. At the final step of IC fabrication process, device isolation will be achieved at room temperature by this method.

Silicon on insulator(SOI) wafer is used in a variety of microsensor applications in which thermal deformations and other mechanical effects may dominate device Performance. One of major Problems associated with the manufacturing Processes of the microaccelerometer based on the tunneling current concept is thermal deformations and thermal stresses. This paper deals with finite element analysis(FEA) of residual thermal deformations causing popping up, which are induced in micrormaching processes of a microaccelerometer. The reason for this Popping up phenomenon in manufacturing processes of microaccelerometer may be the bending of the whole wafer or it may come from the way the underetching occurs. We want to seek after the real cause of this popping up phenomenon and diminish this by changing manufacturing processes of mic개accelerometer. In microaccelerometer manufacturing process, this paper intend to find thermal deformation change of the temperature distribution by tunnel gap and additional beams. The thermal behaviors analysis intend to use ANSYS V5.5.3.

A new large-signal model including the voltage-dependent extrinsic gate capacitance for RF channel distribution effect is developed for a high resistivity(HR) silicon-on-insulator(SOI) RF accumulation-mode MOS varactor. The data of voltage-dependent parameters are extracted by using accurate S-parameter optimization, and empirical model equations are constructed by data fitting process. The RF accuracy of this new model is validated by observing excellent agreements between modeled and measured Y11-parameter data in the wide voltage range up to 20 GHz.

최근 반도체 소자의 미세화에 따라, 단채널 효과에 의한 누설전류 및 소비전력증가 등이 문제가 되고 있다. DRAM의 경우, 캐패시터 영역의 축소문제가 소자집적화를 방해하는 요소로 작용하고 있다. 1T-DRAM은 기존의 DRAM과 달리 캐패시터 영역을 없애고 상부실리콘의 중성영역에 전하를 저장함으로써 소자집적화에 구조적인 이점을 갖는다. 또한 silicon-on-insulator (SOI) 기판을 이용할 경우, 뛰어난 전기적 절연 특성과 기생 정전용량의 감소, 소자의 저전력화를 실현할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 silicon-germanium-on-insulator (SGOI) 기판을 이용한 1T-DRAM의 열처리온도에 따른 특성 변화를 평가하였다. 기존의 SOI 기판을 이용한 1T-DRAM과 달리, SGOI 기판을 사용할 경우, strained-Si 층과 relaxed-SiGe 층간의 격자상수 차에 의한 캐리어 이동도의 증가효과를 기대할 수 있다. 하지만 열처리 시, SiGe층의 Ge 확산으로 인해 상부실리콘 및 SiGe 층의 두께를 변화시켜, 소자의 특성에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 열처리는 급속 열처리 공정을 통해 $850^{\circ}C$와 $1000^{\circ}C$로 나누어 30초 동안 N2/O2 분위기에서 진행하였다. 그리고 Programming/Erasing (P/E)에 따라 달라지는 전류의 차를 감지하여 제작된 1T-DRAM의 메모리 특성을 평가하였다.

The electrical characteristics of the monolithic 3-dimensional static random access memory consisting of a feedback field-effect transistor (M3D-SRAM-FBFET) was investigated using technology computer-aided design (TCAD). The N-type FBFET and N-type MOSFET are designed with fully depleted silicon on insulator (FDSOI), and those are located at bottom and top tiers, respectively. For the M3D-SRAM-FBFET, as the supply voltage decreased from 1.9 V to 1.6 V, the reading on-current decreased approximately 10 times.

The hydrogen plasma treatment of silicon wafers in the reactive ion-etching mode was studied for the application to silicon-on-insulator wafers which were prepared using the wafer bonding technique. The chemical reactions of hydrogen plasma with surface were used for both surface activation and removal of surface contaminants. As a result of exposure of silicon wafers to the plasma, an active oxide layer was found on the surface. This layer was rendered hydrophilic. The surface roughness and morphology were examined as functions of the plasma exposing time and power. In addition, the surface became smoother with the shorter plasma exposing time and power. The value of initial surface energy estimated by the crack propagation method was 506 mJ/㎡, which was up to about three times higher as compared to the case of conventional direct using the wet RCA cleaning method.
