  • Tunsten silicide (WSix) films on polycrystalline silicon were formed by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) and were annealed in $N_2$ for 30 mins at various temperatures. The annealing behaviors of tungsten silicide films have been investigated by electrical resistivity measurements, X-ray diffraction methods, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Hall measurements. The electrical resistivity decreased almost linearly with increasing annealing temperature and reached $35{\mu}{\Omega}-cm$ at $1000^{\circ}C$ annealing. The X-ray and SEM analyses indicate that crystallization of $WSi_2$ and grain growth occurs when annealed above $1000^{\circ}C$. Excess silicon redistribution occurs considerably when annealed above $1000^{\circ}C$. By Hall measurements, the carrier type for specimens annealed at $1000^{\circ}C$ was found to be positive holes, while the carriers were electrons in the specimens that were annealed at $800^{\circ}C$.

  • BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by the pulsed laser deposition process. The dependence of the deposited film quality upon the partial oxygen pressure during the deposition process was importantly examined. Regardless of the oxygen pressure, the as-deposited films were not fully crystallized. However, the film deposited at low oxygen pressure became well crystallized after the annealing process. It was concluded, therefore, that the partial oxygen pressure is reduced as low as possible during the deposition process and then anneal the as-deposited samples at ambient pressure to fabricate the well crystallized SrTiO3 and BaTiO3 films by laser ablation.

  • Si-O-C-H films with a low dielectric constant were deposited on a p-type Si(100) substrate using a mixture gases of the bis-trimethylsilyl-methane (BTMSM) and oxygen by an inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICPCYD). High density plasma of about $~10^{12}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$ is obtained at low pressure (<400 mTorr) with rf power of about 300W in ICPCVD where the BTMSM and $O_2$ gases are fully dissociated. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra show that the film has $Si-CH_3$ and OH-related bonds. The void within films is formed due to $Si-CH_3$ and OH-related bonds after annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ for the as-deposition samples. The lowest relative dielectric constant of annealed film at $500^{\circ}C$ is about 2.1.

  • Experimental results are presented for the degradation of 3 nm-thick gate oxide under -2.5V $\leq$ V$_{g}$ $\leq$-4.0V stress and 10$0^{\circ}C$ conditions using P and NMOSFETs that are annealed with hydrogen or deuterium gas at high-pressure (5 atm). The degradation mechanisms are highly dependent on stress conditions. For low gate voltage, hole-trapping is found to dominate the reliability of gate oxide both in P and NMOSFETs. With increasing gate voltage to V$_{g}$ =-4.0V, the degradation becomes dominated by electron-trapping in NMOSFETs, however, the generation rate of "hot" hole was very low, because most of tunneling electrons experienced the phonon scattering before impact ionization at the Si interface. Statistical parameter variations as well as the gate leakage current depend on and are improved by high-pressure deuterium annealing, compared to corresponding hydrogen annealing. We therefore suggest that deuterium is effective in suppressing the generation of traps within the gate oxide. Our results therefore prove that hydrogen related processes are at the origin of the investigated oxide degradation.gradation.

  • The microstructure and texture of three 316L foils of 25 ㎛ thickness, which were subjected to different manufacturing process, were systematically characterized using advance analytical techniques. Then, the electrochemical property of the 316L foils in simulated pressurized water reactor (PWR) solution was analyzed using potentiodynamic polarization. The results showed that final rolling strain and annealing temperature had evident effect on grain size, fraction of recrystallization, grain boundary type and texture distribution. It was suggested that large final rolling strain could transfer Brass texture to Copper texture; low annealing temperature could limit the formation of preferable orientations in the rolling process to reduce anisotropy. Potentiodynamic polarization test showed that all samples exhibited good corrosion performance in the simulated primary PWR solution.

  • The YMnO$_3$ thin films were prepared on platinized-silicon substrates by chemical solution deposition and annealed at 750 to 85$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 h under various oxygen pressures, from 2 mTorr to 760 Torr. Effects of annealing oxygen pressures on the crystallization behavior and electrical properties of YMnO$_3$ thin films were investigated. Crystallinity and c-axis preferred orientation of YMnO$_3$ thin film were improved by decreasing the oxygen pressure but were deteriorated at extremely low oxygen pressure, 2 mTorr. Leakage current density of the YMn03 thin film decreased as the oxygen pressure decreased. The film annealed at 80$0^{\circ}C$ under 2 Torr, which had the best crystallinity and the highest c-axis preferred orientation. showed the best-developed ferroelectric C-V hysteresis.

  • Conductive $SrMoO_3$ thin films were fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering with the powder-type sputtering target, and annealed for crystallization. When RTP (rapid thermal processing) in vacuum was applied, the fabricated thin films showed the mixed phases of $SrMoO_3$ and $SrMoO_4$, but $SrMoO_3$ phase could be promoted by the lowering of the working pressure during deposition. In order to eliminate $O_2$ gas during deposition and annealing, further lowering of the working pressure and furnace annealing in hydrogen atmosphere were tried. With the optimization of the deposition and annealing conditions, the thin film with nearly single-phase of $SrMoO_3$ was obtained, and it showed good electrical conduction properties with a low resistivity of $2.5{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at room temperature.

  • Post-deposition vacuum annealing effects in electron-bearn-evaporated indium tin oxide (ITO) films have been investigated by the change of transmittance, sheet resistance and crystalline structure with annealing temperature ( $200-335^{\circ}C$) and oxygen partial pressure ($1\times^10^{-5}-1$\times10^{-4} torr$) in air and vacuum. The sarnples were polycrystalline films with a preferred orientation in the (222) plan. High quality films with sheet resistance as low as 62 Q/O and transmittance over 99% (absentee layer at 500 nm) have been obtained by suitably controlling the vacuum annealing pararneters.neters.

  • $Bi_{4}Ti_{3}O_{12}$ (BiT) thin films were grown on the Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/si substrate using a metal organic decomposition (MOD) method. Effects of oxygen annealing on the structural properties and dielectric properties of the BiT thin films were investigated. The BiT films were well developed when rapid thermal annealed at $>500^{\circ}C$ in oxygen ambient. For the film annealed at $700^{\circ}C$, no crystalline phase was observed under oxygen free annealing atmosphere while its crystallinity was significantly enhanced as the oxygen pressure increased. The BiT film also exhibited a smooth surface with defect free grains. A high dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss were achieved satisfactory in the frequency range from 75 kHz to 1 MHz. Especially, the BiT film, annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ and 10 torr oxygen pressure, showed good dielectric properties: dielectric constant of 51 and dielectric loss of 0.2 % at 100 kHz. Its leakage current was also considerably improved, being as $0.62\;nA/cm^2$ at 1 V. Therefore, it is considered that the oxygen annealing has effects on an enhancement of crystallinity and dielectric properties of the BiT films.
