In the last year great interest appears to YBCO thin films preparation on different substrate materials. Preparation of epitaxial film is a very difficult problem. There are many requirements to substrate materials that must be fullfilled. Main problems are lattice mismatch (misfit) and similarity of structure. From paper [1] or follows that difference in interatomic distances and angles of substrate and film is mire important problem than similarity of structure. In this work we present interatomic distances and angle relations between substrate materials belonging to ABCO4 group (where A-Sr or Ca, B-rare earth element, C-Al or Ga) of different orientations and YBCO thin films. There are many materials used as substrates for HTsC thin films. ABCO4 group of compounds is characterized by small dielectric constants (it is necessary for microwave applications of HTsC films), absence of twins and small misfit [2]. There most interesting compounds CaNdAlO4, SrLaAlO4 and SrLaGaO4 were investigated. All these compounds are of pseudo-perovskite structure with space group 14/mmm. This structure is very similar to structure of YBCO. SLG substrate has the lowest misfit (0.3%) and dielectric constant. For preparation of then films of substrates of this group of compound plane of <100> orientation are mainly used. Good quality films of <001> orientations are obtained [3]. In this case not only a-a misfit play role, but c-3b misfit is very important too. Sometimes, for preparation of thin films substrates of <001> and <110> orientations were manufactured [3]. Different misfits for different YBCO faces have been analyzed. It has been found that the mismatching factor for (100) face is very similar to that for (001) face so there is possibility of preparation of thin films on both orientations. SrLaAlO4(SLA) and SrLaGaO4(SLG) crystals of general formula ABCO4 have been grown by the Czochralski method. The quality of SLA and SLG crystals strongly depends on axial gradient of temperature and growth and rotation rates. High quality crystals were obtained at axial gradient of temperature near crystal-melt interface lower than 50℃/cm, growth rate 1-3 mm/h and the rotation rate changing from 10-20pm[4]. Strong anisotropy in morphology of SLA and SLG single crystals grown by the Czochralski method is clearly visible. On the basics of our considerations for ABCO4 type of the tetragonal crystals there can appear {001}, {101}, and {110} faces for ionic type model [5]. Morphology of these crystals depend on ionic-covalent character of bonding and crystal growth parameters. Point defects are observed in crystals and they are reflected in color changes (colorless, yellow, green). Point defects are detected in directions perpendicular to oxide planes and are connected with instability of oxygen position in lattice. To investigate facets formations crystals were doped with Cr3+, Er3+, Pr3+, Ba2+. Chromium greater size ion which is substituted for Al3+ clearly induces faceting. There appear easy {110} faces and SLA crystals crack even then the amount of Cr is below 0.3at.% SLG single crystals are not so sensitive to the content of chromium ions. It was also found that if {110} face appears at the beginning of growth process the crystal changes its color on the plane {110} but it happens only on the shoulder part. The projection of {110} face has a great amount of oxygen positions which can be easy defected. Pure and doped SLA and SLG crystals measured by EPR in the<110> direction show more intensive lines than in other directions which allows to suggest that the amount of oxygen defects on the {110} plane is higher. In order to find the origin of colors and their relation with the crystal stability, a set of SLA and SLG crystals were investigated using optical spectroscopy. The colored samples exhibit an absorption band stretching from the UV absorption edge of the crystal, from about 240 nm to about 550 m. In the case of colorless sample, the absorption spectrum consists of a relatively weak band in the UV region. The spectral position and intensities of absorption bands of SLA are typical for imperfection similar to color centers which may be created in most of oxide crystals by UV and X-radiation. It is pointed out that crystal growth process of polycomponent oxide crystals by Czochralski method depends on the preparation of melt and its stoichiometry, orientation of seed, gradient of temperature at crystal-melt interface, parameters of growth (rotation and pulling rate) and control of red-ox atmosphere during seeding and growth (rotation and pulling rate) and control of red-ox atmosphere during seeding and growth. Growth parameters have an influence on the morphology of crystal-melt interface, type and concentration of defects.

Recently, the minimum line width shows a tendency to decrease and the multi-level increases in semiconductor. Therefore, a planarization technique is needed and chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) is considered as one of the most suitable process. CMP accomplishes a high polishing performance and a global planarization of high quality. However there are several defects in CMF, such as micro-scratches, abrasive contaminations and non-uniformity of polished wafer edges. Wet etching process including spin-etching can eliminate the defects of CMP. It uses abrasive-free chemical solution instead of slurry. On this study, ILD(Interlayer-Dielectric) was removed by CMP and wet etching process using DHF(Diluted HF) in order to investigate the possibility of planrization by wet etching mechanism. In the thin film wafer, the results were evaluated from the viewpoint of material removal rate(MRR) and within wafer non-uniformity(WIWNU). And the pattern step heights were also compared for the purpose of planarity characterization of the patterned wafer. Moreover, Chemical polishing process which is the wet etching process with mechanical energy was introduced and evaluated for examining the characteristics of planarization.

[ $HfO_2$ ] and $HfO_xN_y$ films were deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition using $Hf[OC(CH_3)_3]_4$ as the precursor in the absence of $O_2$. The crystallization temperature of the $HfO_xN_y$ films is higher than that of the $HfO_2$ film. Nitrogen incorporation in $HfO_xN_y$ was confirmed by auger electron spectroscopy analysis. After post deposition annealing (PDA) at 800$\Box$, the EOT increased from 1.34 to 1.6 nm in the $HfO_2$ thin films, whereas the increase of EOT was suppressed to less than 0.02 nm in the $HfO_xN_y$. The leakage current density decreased from 0.18 to 0.012 $A/cm^2$ with increasing PDA temperature in the $HfO_2$ films. But the leakage current density of $HfO_xN_y$ does not vary with increasing PDA temperature because an amorphous $HfO_xN_y$ films suppresses the diffusion of oxygen through the gate dielectric.

Plasma displays (PDP) as a large area wall-hanging display device are rabidly developed with flat CRT, TPT LCD and etc. Especially, AC Plasma Display Panels(AC PDPs) have the inherent memory function which is effective for large area displays. The memory function in AC PDPs is caused by the accumulation of the electrical charge on the protecting layer formed on the dielectric layer. This MgO protective layer prevents the dielectric layer from sputtering by ion in discharge plasma and also has the additional important roll in lowering the firing voltage due to the large secondary electron emission coefficient). Until now, the MgO Protective layer is mainly formed by E-Beam evaporation. With increasing the panel size, this process is difficult to attain cost reduction, and are not suitable for large quantity of production. To the contrary, the methode of shuttering are easy to apply on mass production and to enlarge the size of the panel and shows the superior adhesion and uniformity of thin film. In this study, we have prepared MgO protective layer on AC PDP Cell by reactive magnetron sputtering and studied the effect of MgO layer on the surface discharge characteristics of ac PDP.

The a-Si:H TFT using ferroelectric of SrTi $O_3$as a gate insulator is fabricated on glass. Dielectric characteristics of ferroelectric are superior to $SiO_2$and S $i_3$ $N_4$. Ferroelctric increases on-current, decreases thresh old voltage of TFT and also improves breakdown characteristics. The a-SiN:H has optical band gap of 2.61 eV, refractive index of 1.8~2.0 and resistivity of 10$^{13}$ - 10$^{15}$ $\Omega$cm, respectively. Insulating characteristics of ferroelectrics are excellent because dielectric constant of ferroelectric is about 60~100 and breakdown strength is over 1MV/cm. TFT using ferroelectric has channel length of 8~20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and channel width of 80~200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. And it shows that drain current is 3.4$mutextrm{A}$ at 20 gate voltage, $I_{on}$ / $I_{off}$ is a ratio of 10$^{5}$ - 10$^{8}$ and $V_{th}$ is 4~5 volts, respectively. In the case of TFT without ferroelectric, it indicates that the drain current is 1.5 $mutextrm{A}$ at 20 gate voltage and $V_{th}$ is 5~6 volts. With the improvement of the ferroelectric thin film properties, the performance of TFT using this ferroelectric has advanced as a gate insulator fabrication technology is realized.zed.d.

Dianhydride로서 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydried(PMDA)와 2,2'-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride(6FDA)를, diamine으로서 1,4-phenylenediamine(PDA)을 사용하여 homopolyimides인 PMDA-PDA, 6FDA-PDA와 다른 당량비의 copolyimides를 각각의 ploy(amic acid)로부터 제조하였다. 이들 박막에 대하여, thin film stress analyzer(TFSA)를 이용하여 공중합체 폴리이미드 박막의 잔류 응력거동을 공정온도 ($25{\sim}400^{\circ}C$)하에서 전구체의 열적 이미드화에 따라 in-situ로 측정하였고, WAXD분석을 통해 모폴로지 변화를 알아보았다. 다른 단량비로 이루어진 공중합체 폴리이미드 박막의 잔류 응력 결과는 PMDA 분율이 증가함에 따라 잔류 응력이 큰 폭으로 감소하였고 순수 PMDA-PDA 폴리이미드에서는 압축모드로 5 MPa로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 PMDA-PDA의 높은 $T_g$로 인한 공정상의 어려움과 6FDA-PDA의 상대적으로 높은 응력을 서로 보완해 기계적 물성이 좋은 저응력의 폴리이미드를 만들 수 있음을 보였다. 즉, random한 PMDA/6FDA-PDA 공중합체 폴리이미드 합성을 이용하여 사슬 내에 벌키한 di(trifluoromethyl)기와 같은 관절기로 인한 상대적으로 높은 응력을 보이는 6FDA-PDA 폴리이미드 사슬 내에 강직한 사슬 구조를 가진 PMDA-PDA 폴리이미드의 사슬 구조를 적당량 첨가함으로써 우수한 기계적 물성을 갖는 저응력 폴리이미드를 만들 수 있었다. 특히, PMDA/6FDA-PDA (0.9:0.1:1.0) 폴리이미드가 저유전 상수 층간 절연막으로서의 우수한 기계적 물성과 낮은 응력 수준을 보여주고 있다.

본 논문에서는 LSPR 센서에 적용하기 위한 제한된 높이 100 nm에서 $TiO_2$, $SiO_2$의 다중층을 이용한 LSPR 센서를 디자인을 제안했다. LSPR 센서의 구조는 유전체 층과 나노 구조가 있는 금속층으로 디자인 하였다. 금속층은 금 박막 40 nm와 높이 40 nm, 주기 600 nm, 선폭 300 nm인 나노와이어 구조체를 올려놓은 구조로 디자인하였다. 유전체 층의 높이를 100nm로 제한하고, $TiO_2$, $SiO_2$가 반복되는 구조로 하여 반복층의 개수를 1~4개로 변경하면서 비교 분석하였다. 파장 가변형 SPR을 디자인하기 위해 각도를 75도로 고정하고 파장을 변화시켜 FEM방식으로 계산하였다. 결과로 굴절율이 고정되어 있을 때 다중층의 개수가 증가할수록 공명 파장이 짧아지는 현상을 확인 하였고, 파장의 변화에 더 민감하게 변화하는 것을 측정하였다. 다만, 다중층의 개수가 3개층 이상이 되면 변화하지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

A new plasma process, i.e., the combination of PIII&D and HIPIMS, was developed to implant non-gaseous ions into materials surface. HIPIMS is a special mode of operation of pulsed-DC magnetron sputtering, in which high pulsed DC power exceeding ~1 kW/$cm^2$ of its peak power density is applied to the magnetron sputtering target while the average power density remains manageable to the cooling capacity of the equipment by using a very small duty ratio of operation. Due to the high peak power density applied to the sputtering target, a large fraction of sputtered atoms is ionized. If the negative high voltage pulse applied to the sample stage in PIII&D system is synchronized with the pulsed plasma of sputtered target material by HIPIMS operation, the implantation of non-gaseous ions can be successfully accomplished. The new process has great advantage that thin film deposition and non-gaseous ion implantation along with in-situ film modification can be achieved in a single plasma chamber. Even broader application areas of PIII&D technology are believed to be envisaged by this newly developed process. In one application of non-gaseous plasma immersion ion implantation, Ge ions were implanted into SiO2 thin film at 60 keV to form Ge quantum dots embedded in SiO2 dielectric material. The crystalline Ge quantum dots were shown to be 5~10 nm in size and well dispersed in SiO2 matrix. In another application, Ag ions were implanted into SS-304 substrate to endow the anti-microbial property of the surface. Yet another bio-application was Mg ion implantation into Ti to improve its osteointegration property for bone implants. Catalyst is another promising application field of nongaseous plasma immersion ion implantation because ion implantation results in atomically dispersed catalytic agents with high surface to volume ratio. Pt ions were implanted into the surface of Al2O3 catalytic supporter and its H2 generation property was measured for DME reforming catalyst. In this talk, a newly developed, non-gaseous plasma immersion ion implantation technique and its applications would be shown and discussed.

In Recent results suggested that doping $Ta_2O_5$ with a small amount of $TiO_2$ using standard ceramic processing techniques can increase the dielectric constant of $Ta_2O_5$ significantly. In this paper, this concept is studied using RTCVD (Rapid Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition). Ti-doped $Ta_2O_5$ films are deposited using $TaC_{12}H_{30}O_5N$, $C_8H_{24}N_4Ti$, and $O_2$ on both Si and $NH_3$-nitrided Si substrates. An $NH_3$-based interface layer at the Si surface is used to prevent interfacial oxidation during the CVD process and post deposition annealing is performed in $H_2/O_2$ ambient to improve film quality and reduce leakage current. A sputtered TiN layer is used as a diffusion barrier between the Al gate electrode and the $TaTi_xO_y$ dielectric. XPS analyses confirm the formation of a ($Ta_2O_5)_{1-x}(TiO_2)_x$ composite oxide. A high quality $TaTi_xO_y$ gate stack with EOT (Equivalent Oxide Thickness) of $7{\AA}$ and leakage current $Jg=O.5A/textrm{cm}^2$ @ Vg=-1.0V has been achieved. We have also succeeded in forming a $TaTi_x/O_y$ composite oxide by rapid thermal oxidation of the as-deposited CVD TaTi films. The electrical properties and Jg-EOT characteristics of these composite oxides are remarkably similar to that of RTCVD $Ta_2O_5, suggesting that the dielectric constant of $Ta_2O_5$ is not affected by the addition of $TiO_2$.
