(100) Si and 4$^{\circ}$off (100) Si were oxidized in dry oxygen, and the differences in thermal oxidation behavior and electrical characteristics between two specimens were investigated. Ellipsometer measurements of the oxide thickness produced by oxidation in dry oxygen from 1000 to 120$0^{\circ}C$ showed that the oxidation rates of the 5$^{\circ}$ off (100) Si were more rapid than those of the (100) Si and the differences between them decreased as the oxidation temperature increased. The activation energies based on the parabolic rate constant, B for (100) and 4$^{\circ}$off (100) Si were 25.8, 28.6 kcal/mol and those on the linear rate constant, B/A were 56.8, 54.9 kcal/mol, respectively. Variation of C-V characteristics with the oxidation temperature showed that the flat band voltages were shifted positively and surface state charge densities decreased as the oxidation temperature increased, and the surface state charge density of the 4$^{\circ}$off (100) Si was lower than that of the (100) Si. Also considerable decrease in the density of oxidation induced stacking faults (OSF) for the 4$^{\circ}$off (100) Si was observed through optical microscopy after preferentially etching off the oxide layer.

In This paper, we developed 1.96 GHz air gap type FBAR BPF using ZnO as piezoelectric sputtered by RF magnetron at room temperature. FBAR BPF was fabricated by sputtering bottom electrode (Al), ZnO as piezoelectric and top electrode (Mo) on Si wafer one by one with RF magnetron sputter, then Si was dry etched to make an air hole. XRD test result of fabricated FBAR BPF showed that ZnO crystal was well pre-oriented as (002) and sigma value of XRC was 1.018. IL(Insertion loss) showed excellent result as 1 dB.

In order to achieve higher performance and low cost a-Si TFT-LCD panel, new material architecture and its process integration for a-Si TFT array manufacturing method were developed. Material combination of low resistant dry-etchable metal and new pixel electrode under currently adopted 4 mask process made it possible to get more-simplified manufacturing method and better device performance for the a-Si TFT-LCD application. Proposed 4 mask process architecture with optimized wet etchants and dry etching process was applicable to various devices such as notebook, monitor and TV.

InGaN material is being studied increasingly as a prospective material for solar cells. One of the merits for solar cell applications is that the band gap energy can be engineered from 0.7 eV for InN to 3.4 eV for GaN by varying of indium composition, which covers almost of solar spectrum from UV to IR. It is essential for better cell efficiency to improve not only the crystalline quality of the epitaxial layers but also fabrication of the solar cells. Fabrication includes transparent top electrodes and surface texturing which will improve the carrier extraction. Surface texturing is one of the most employed methods to enhance the extraction efficiency in LED fabrication and can be formed on a p-GaN surface, on an N-face of GaN, and even on an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer. Surface texturing method has also been adopted in InGaN-based solar cells and proved to enhance the efficiency. Since the texturing by direct etching of p-GaN, however, was known to induce the damage and result in degraded electrical properties, texturing has been studied widely on ITO layers. However, it is important to optimize the ITO thickness in Solar Cells applications since the reflectance is fluctuated by ITO thickness variation resulting in reduced light extraction at target wavelength. ITO texturing made by wet etching or dry etching was also revealed to increased series resistance in ITO film. In this work, we report a new way of texturing by deposition of thickness-optimized ITO films on ITO nano dots, which can further reduce the reflectance as well as electrical degradation originated from the ITO etching process.

$Y_2O_3$ ceramic specimens were fabricated from the granular powder, obtained by spray drying process from the slurry. The slurry was prepared by mixing PVA binder, NaOH for Ph control, PEG and $Y_2O_3$ powder. The $Y_2O_3$ specimen was shaped in size of ${\phi}14mm$ and then sintered at $1650^{\circ}C$. The characteristics, microstructure, densities and plasma resistance of the $Y_2O_3$ specimens were investigated with the function of forming pressure and sintering time. $Y_2O_3$ specimens were exposed under the $CHF_3/O_2/Ar$ plasma, the dry etching treatment of specimens was carried out by the physical reaction etching of $Ar^+$ ion beam and the chemical reaction etching of $F^-$ ion decomposed from $CHF_3$. With increasing sintering time, $Y_2O_3$ specimens showed relatively high density and strong resistance in plasma etching test.

$2.5^{\circ}\;and\;5^{\circ}$ tilted (100) Si wafer were oxidized in dry oxygen, and the differences in thermal oxidation behavior and oxidation induced stacking faults (OSF) between specimens were investigated. Ellipsometer measurements of the oxide thickness produced by oxidation in dry oxygen from 900 to $1200^{\circ}C$ showed that the oxidation rates of the tilted (100) Si were more rapid than those of the (100) Si and the differences between them decreased as the oxidation temperature increased. The activation energies based on the parabolic rate constant, B for (100) Si, $2.5^{\circ}$ off (100) Si and $5^{\circ}$ off (100) Si were 27.3, 25.9, 27.6 kcal/mol and those on the linear rate constant, B/A were 58.6, 56.6, 57.6 kcal/mol, respectively. Also, considerable decrease in the density of oxidation induced stacking faults for the $5^{\circ}$ off (100) Si was observed through optical microscopy after preferentially etching off the oxide layer, and the angle of stacking faults were changed with tilted angles.

We present disordered moth eye structures on curved surfaces fabricated by dry etching of thermally dewetted metal nanoparticles. This lithography-free fabrication allows the formation of subwavelength scale nanostructures on the strongly inclined surfaces such as ball lens as well as on the microlens arrays with low curvature. In particular, we found that the size and average distance of nanostructures are closely related to the inclined angle of the surface. Experimental results on oblique angle deposition of metal thin films followed by thermal dewetting also support these effects.

The effects of surface conditions of the C-2 cemented carbide substrate on the adhesion of diamond film were investigated. The substrates were pretreated for different times with Murakami's reagent and then the acid solution of an H2SO4-H2O2. The adhesion strength was estimated by a peeling area around the Rockwell-A indentation. The cutting performance of the diamond-coated tools was evaluated by measuring flank wears in dry turning of Al-17% Si alloy. The morphology of deposited diamond crystallites was dominated by (111) and (220) surfaces with a cubooctahedral shape. The diamond film quality was hardly affected by the surface conditions of the substrate. The variation of tool life with longer substrate etching times resulted from a compromies between the increase of film adhesion at the interface and the decrease of toughness at the substrate surface. The coated tools were mainly deteriorated by chipping and flaking of the diamond film form a lock of adhesion strength, differently from the wear phenomena of PCD tools.
