Fluoride({{{{ { CaF}_{2 } }}}}) films exhibited a cubic structure with similar lattice constant to that of Si and have sufficient breakdown electric field as gate dielectric material. Therefore, {{{{ { CaF}_{2 } }}}} are expected to replace conventional insulator such {{{{ { SiO}_{ 2},{Ta}_{2}{O}_{ 2} and{Al}_{2}{O}_{5}. However, {CaF}_{2}}}}} films showed hystereisis properties due to mobile charges in the film. To solve this problem we performed thermal treatment and achieves field. C-v results indicate a reduced hystereisis window of {{{{ }}}}ΔV =0.2v, LOW INTERFACE STATE {{{{{D}_{it}=2.0 TIMES {10}^{11}{cm}^{-1}{eV}^{-1}}}}} in midgap, and good WIS diode properties. We observed a preferential crystallization of(200) plane from XRD analysis. RTA treatment effects on various material properties of {{{{{CaF}_{2}}}}} are presented in this paper.

This paper describes the development of a new $5.0{\times}3.2mm$ SAW filter bank which is consist of 12 L, C matching components and 4 SAW bare chips on PCB substrate with CSP technology. We improved the manufacturing cost by removing the ceramic package through direct flip bonding of $LiTaO_3$ SAW bare chip on PCB board after mounting L, C passive element on PCB board. After that we realized the hermitic sealing by laminating the epoxy film. To confirm the confidentiality and durability of the above method, we have obtained the optimum flip bonding & film laminating condition, and figured out material property and structure to secure the durability & moisture proof of PCB board. The newly developed super mini $5.0{\times}3.2mm$ filter bank shows the superior features than those of existing products in confidence, electrical, mechanical characters.

In this paper, magnetic properties and annealing behavior of spin valve structures using Mo(MoN) layers as underlayers were studied varying the thickness of the underlayers. The spin valve structure was consisted of Si substrate/$SiO_2(2,000{\AA})/Mo(MoN)(t{\AA})/NiFe(21\;{\AA})/CoFe(28\;{\AA})/Cu(22\;{\AA})/CoFe(18\;{\AA})/IrMn(65\;{\AA})/Ta(25\;{\AA})$. Also, MoN films were deposited on Si substrates and their thermal annealing behavior was analyzed. The resistivity of the MoN film increased as the $N_2$ gas flow rate was increased. After annealing at $600^{\circ}C$, XRD results did not show peaks of silicides. XPS results indicated MoN film deposited with 5 sccm of $N_2$ gas flow rate was more stable than the film deposited with 1 sccm of $N_2$ gas flow rate. The variations of MR ratio and magnetic exchange coupling fold were small for the spin valve structures using Mo(MoN) underlayers up to thickness of45 ${\AA}$. MR ratio of spin valves using MoN underlayers deposited with various $N_2$ gas flow rate was about 7.0% at RT and increased to about 7.5% after annealing at $220^{\circ}C$. Upon annealing at $300^{\circ}C$, the MR ratio decreased to about 3.5%. Variation of $N_2$ gas flow rate up to 5 sccm did not change the MR ratio and $H_{ex}$ appreciably.

Quality of fresh-cut tomato slices was compared during cold storage under various modified atmosphere packaging conditions. Chilling injury of slices in containers sealed with Film A was higher than with Film B; these films had oxygen transmission rates of 87.4 and 60.0 ml h-1 m-2 nun-1 at $5^{\circ}C$ and $99\%$ RH, respectively. While slices in containers with an initial atmospheric composition of air, $4\%$ CO2 + 1 or $20\%\;O_2, \;8\%\;CO_2+1$ or $20\%\;O_2$, or $12\%\; CO_2+\;20\%\;O_2$ showed fungal growth, slices in containers with $12\%\;CO_2 +\;1\%\;O_2$ did not. Low ethylene in containers enhanced chilling injury. Modified atmosphere packaging provided good quality tomato slices with a shelf-life of 2 weeks or more at $5^{\circ}C$. Experiments were conducted to compare changes in quality of slices of red tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. 'Sunbeam') fruit from plants grown using black polyethylene or hairy vetch mulches under various foliar disease management systems including: no fungicide applications (NF), a disease forecasting model (Tom-Cast), and weekly fungicide applications (WF), during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ under a modified atmosphere. Slices were analyzed for firmness, soluble solids content (SCC), titratable acidity (TA), pH, electrolyte leakage, fungi, yeasts, and chilling injury. With both NF and Tom-Cast fungicide treatments, slices from tomato fruit grown with hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) mulch were firmer than those from tomato fruit grown with black polyethylene mulch after 12 days storage. Ethylene Production of slices from fruit grown using hairy vetch mulch under Tom-Cast was about 1.5- and 5-fold higher than that of slices from WF and NF fungicide treatments after 12 days, respectively. The percentage of water-soaked areas (chilling injury) for slices from tomato fruit grown.

본 연구에서는 PET(PentaEthoxy Tanatalum:Ta(OC2H5)5) 유기금속 화합물 전구체를 사용하여 차세대 초고집적회로 제조시 고유전체 물질로 유망한 Ta2O5 박막을 열화학증착 방법에 의하여 증착하였다. 본 증착실험을 통하여 여러 가지 운속기체, 기판온도, 반응압력 등의 공정변수가 층덮힘에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였으며 Monte Carlo 전산모사 결과와 기판온도 변화에 따른 층덮힘 패턴의 변화에 대한 실험결과를 비교하여 부착계수를 산출하였다. 운송기체로는 N2, Ar, He을 바꿔가며 실험하였으며 He>N2>Artns으로 층덮힘이 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 운송기체의 종류에 따라 운동량 확산도, 열 확산도, 물질 확산도 등의 이동현상 특성값들이 다르기 때문이라 생각된다. 기판온도의 증가는 운송기체의 종류에 관계없이 층덮힘을 악화시켰으며 도랑내부에서의 Knudsen 확산과 표면반응물의 탈착에 비해 표면반응이 보다 지배적인 역할을 담당함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 질소를 운송기체로 사용한 경우에 부착계수의 겉보기 활성화 에너지는 15.9Kcal/mol로 나타났다. 그리고 3Torr 이하에서 반응압력이 증가하는 반응압력이 증가하는 경우에는 물질 확산도의 감소 효과 때문에 층덮힘이 악화되었다. 본 연구결과 3Torr, 35$0^{\circ}C$에서 He 운송기체를 이용한 경우가 가장 우수한 층덮힘을 얻을 수 있는 최적 공정 조건임을 알 수 있었다.

As power durable RF SAW filters, AL-(0∼2wt%)Cu alloy multi-layered thin electrodes were deposited on 42° LiTaO$_3$ piezoelectric substrates by magnetron sputtering process, and then ladder-type RF SAW filters, satisfying the electrical specification of CDMA transmission band, were fabricated through optimizing SAW resonator structures. The temperature of film electrodes in SAW filter was increased with RF power, and reached the maxima to cause a failure of SAW filters at the cut-off frequencies of the RF filter band. As RF power increases, the electrodes of Al-Cu alloy showed higher power durability than that of pure Al. The multi-layer laminated film of Al-1wt.% Cu/Cu/Al-1wt%Cu resulted in the best power durability up to 4W of RF power. Every film electrode, however, was destroyed within seconds whenever applying a critical RF power to SAW filters, regardless of the composition and structure of film electrodes. The breakdown of film electrodes under FR power seems to believe due to the fatigue of electrodes caused by repetitive cyclic stress of surface acoustic wave, which is amplified as RF power increases.

This paper represents 50 ㎓ narrow band pass filters for fiber optical communication fabricated by dual ion beam sputtering method. We have analyzed the characteristics of the TA$_2$ $O_{5}$ and $SiO_2$ single layers in order to optimize the process conditions for the 50 ㎓ narrow band pass filters, and controlled the film thickness uniformity to less than 0.1 nm deviation by dual peak spike filter pre-deposition. We designed and fabricated 50 ㎓ narrow band pass filters that consist of 216 layers including 4 cavities based on quarter wave optical thickness. Class substrates with high thermal expansion coefficients were used to reduce the film stress. Anti-reflection coating at the rear side of the substrate was also needed to reduce the optical thickness errors of the Optical Monitoring System caused by multiple beam interference between the front side and the rear side of substrate. The optical characteristics of this 50 ㎓ narrow band pass filters are insertion loss of 0.40 ㏈, pass band ripple of 0.20 ㏈, and pass bandwidth at -0.5 ㏈ of 0.20 nm. and isolation bandwidth at -25 ㏈ of 0.6 nm, which satisfy specifications of dense WDM system in fiber optical communications.tions.

The quantitative measurement of interfacial adhesion energy (Gc) of multilayer thin films for Cu interconnects was investigated using a double cantilever beam (DCB) and 4-point bending (4-PB) test. In the case of a sample with Ta diffusion barrier applied, all Gc values measured by the DCB and 4-PB tests were higher than 5 J/㎡, which is the minimum criterion for Cu/low-k integration without delamination. However, in the case of the Ta/Cu sample, measured Gc value of the DCB test was lower than 5 J/㎡. All Gc values measured by the 4-PB test were higher than those of the DCB test. Measured Gc values increase with increasing phase angle, that is, 4-PB test higher than DCB test due to increasing plastic energy dissipation and roughness-related shielding effects, which matches well interfacial fracture mechanics theory. As a result of the 4-PB test, Ta/Cu and Cu/Ta interfaces measured Gc values were higher than 5 J/㎡, suggesting that Ta is considered to be applicable as a diffusion barrier and a capping layer for Cu interconnects. The 4-PB test method is recommended for quantitative adhesion energy measurement of the Cu interconnect interface because the thermal stress due to the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion and the delamination due to chemical mechanical polishing have a large effect of the mixing mode including shear stress.
