In response to the industrial needs for automated handling of very thin solar cell wafers, this paper presents the design concept for the individual wafer separation from the stacked wafers by utilizing continuous water jet. The experimental apparatus for automated wafer separation was constructed and it includes the water jet system and the microprocessor controlled wafer stack advancing system. Through a series of tests, the performance of the proposed design is quantified into the success rate of single wafer separation and the rapidity of processing wafer stack. Also, the inclination angle of wafer equipped cartridge and the water jet flowrate are found to be important parameters to be considered for process optimization. The proposed design shows the concept for fast and efficient processing of wafer separation and can be implemented in the automated manufacturing of silicon based solar cell wafers.

In this research we have investigated the characteristics of ultra thin $HfO_2 /SiON$stack structure films using several analytical techniques. SiON layer was thermally grown on standard SCI cleaned silicon wafer at $825^{\circ}C$ for 12sec under $N_2$O ambient. $HfO_2 /SiON$$_4$/$H_2O$ as precursors and $N_2$as a carrier/purge gas. Solid HfCl$_4$was volatilized in a canister kept at $200^{\circ}C$ and carried into the reaction chamber with pure $N_2$carrier gas. $H_2O$ canister was kept at $12^{\circ}C$ and carrier gas was not used. The films were grown on 8-inch (100) p-type Silicon wafer at the $300^{\circ}C$ temperature after standard SCI cleaning, Spectroscopic ellipsometer and TEM were used to investigate the initial growth mechanism, microstructure and thickness. The electrical properties of the film were measured and compared with the physical/chemical properties. The effects of heat treatment was discussed.

The efficiency of CMOS technology has been developed in uniform rate. However, there was a limitation of reducing the thickness of Gate-oxide since the thickness of Gate Dielectric is also reduced so an amount of leakage current is grow. In order to solve this problem, the semiconductor device which has a dual gate is used widely. This paper presents a method and a necessity for making the Gate Stack of TFT. Before Using test devices to measure values, stacking $SiN_x$ on a wafer test was conducted.

We have developed a simple synthetic method for fabricating a wafer-scale colloidal crystal film of 2D crystals in a 1D stack based on a combination of two simple processes : the self-assembly of polystyrene (PS) nanospheres at the water-air interface and the layer-by-layer (LbL) scooping transfer technique. The main advantage of this approach is that it allows excellent control of the thickness (at a layer level) of the crystals and the formation of a vertical crack-free layer over a wafer-scale (4 inch). We investigate the optical and morphological properties of the PhC multilayers fabricated using various mono-sized colloidal crystals (250, 300, 350, 420, 580, 720, and 850 nm), and mixed binary colloidal crystals (300/350 and 250/350 nm).

The high vacuum hermetic sealing technique ensures excellent performance of MEMS resonators. For the high vacuum hermetic sealing, the customization of anodic bonding equipment was conducted for the glass/Si/glass triple-stack anodic bonding process. Figure 1 presents the schematic of the MEMS resonator with triple-stack high-vacuum anodic bonding. The anodic bonding process for vacuum sealing was performed with the chamber pressure lower than 5 × 10^-6 mbar, the piston pressure of 5 kN, and the applied voltage was 1 kV. The process temperature during anodic bonding was 400 ℃. To maintain the vacuum condition of the glass cavity, a getter material, such as a titanium thin film, was deposited. The getter materials was active at the 400 ℃ during the anodic bonding process. To read out the electrical signals from the Si resonator, a vertical feed-through was applied by using through glass via (TGV) which is formed by sandblasting technique of cap glass wafer. The aluminum electrodes was conformally deposited on the via-hole structure of cap glass. The TGV process provides reliable electrical interconnection between Si resonator and aluminum electrodes on the cap glass without leakage or electrical disconnection through the TGV. The fabricated MEMS resonator with proposed vacuum packaging using three-layer anodic bonding process has resonance frequency and quality factor of about 16 kHz and more than 40,000, respectively.

The device makers want to make higher density chips on the wafer through scale-down. The change of WSix/poly-Si gate film thickness is one of the key issues under 100 nm device structure. As a new device etching process is applied, end point detection(EPD) time delay was occurred in DPS+ poly chamber of Applied Materials. This is a barrier of device shrink because EPD time delay made physical damage on the surface of gate oxide. To investigate the EPD time delay, the experimental test combined with OES(Optical Emission Spectroscopy) and SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy) was performed using patterned wafers. As a result, a EPD delay time is reduced by a new chamber seasoning and a new wavelength line through plasma scan. Applying a new wavelength of 252 nm makes it successful to call corrected EPD in WSix/poly-Si stack-down gate etching in the DPS+ poly chamber for the current and next generation devices.

Recently, 3D-electronic packaging by TSV is in interest. TSV(Through Silicon Via) is a interconnection hole on Si-wafer filled with conducting metal such as Copper. In this research, chips with TSV are connected by electroplated Sn bump without PR. Then chips with TSV are put together and stacked by the methode of Reflow soldering. The stacking was successfully done and had no noticeable defects. By eliminating PR process, entire process can be reduced and makes it easier to apply on commercial production.

TSV기술은 실리콘 칩에 관통 홀(through silicon via)을 형성하고, 비아 내부에 전도성 금속으로 채워 수직으로 쌓아 올려 칩의 집적도를 향상시키는 3차원 패키징 기술로서, 와이어 본딩(wire bonding)방식으로 접속하는 기존의 방식에 비해 배선의 거리를 크게 단축시킬 수 있다. 이를 통해 빠른 처리 속도, 낮은 소비전력, 높은 소자밀도를 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 웨이퍼 레벨에서의 TSV 충전 경향을 조사하기 위하여, 실리콘의 칩 레벨에서부터 4" 웨이퍼까지 전해 도금법을 이용하여 Cu를 충전하였다. Cu 충전을 위한 도금액은 CuSO4 5H2O, H2SO4 와 소량의 첨가제로 구성하였다. 양극은 Pt를 사용하였으며, 음극은 $0.5{\times}0.5 cm^2{\sim}5{\times}5cm^2$ 실리콘 칩과 4" 실리콘 wafer를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, $0.5{\times}0.5cm^2$ 실리콘 칩을 이용하여 양극과 음극과의 거리에 따라 충전률을 비교하여 전극간 거리가 4 cm일 때 충전률이 가장 양호하였다. $5{\times}5cm^2$ 실리콘 칩의 경우, 전류 공급위치로부터 0~0.5 cm 거리에 위치한 TSV의 경우 100%의 Cu충전률을 보였고, 4.5~5 cm 거리에 위치한 TSV의 경우 충전률이 약 95%로 비아의 입구 부분이 완전히 충전되지 않는 경향을 보였다. 전극에서 멀리 떨어져있는 TSV에서 Cu 충전률이 감소하였으며, 안정된 충전을 위하여 전류를 인가하는 시간을 2 hrs에서 2.5 hrs로 증가시켜 4" 웨이퍼에서 양호한 TSV 충전을 할 수 있었다.
