Reverse annealing was observed in $P^+/B^+$ ion shower doped poly-Si upon activation annealing. Phosphorous or boron was implanted by ion shower doping using a source gas mixture of $PH_3/H_2$ or $B_2H_6/H_2$. Activation annealing was conducted using a tube furnace in the temperature ranges from $350^{\circ}C$ to $650^{\circ}C$. Hall measurement revealed that reverse annealing begins at different annealing temperatures for poly-Si implanted with P and B, respectively. It was observed that reverse annealing starts at $550^{\circ}C$$ in $P^+$ ion shower doped poly-Si, while at $350^{\circ}C$ in the case of B-doping.

The polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films heteroepitaxially grown by LPCVD method using single precursor 1. 3-disilabutane at $850^{\circ}C$. The crystallinity of the 3C-SiC thin film. was analyzed by XPS. Residual strain was investigated by Raman scattering. The surface morphology and voids between SiC and $SiO_2$ were measured by SEM. The grown poly 3C-SiC thin film is very good crystalline quality, surface like mirror, and low defect and strain. Therefore, the polycrystalline 3C-SiC is suitable for harsh environment MEMS applications.

This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of micro heaters built on AlN($0.1{\mu}m$)/3C-SiC($1{\mu}m$) suspended membranes by surface micromachining technology. In this work, 3C-SiC and AlN films are used for high temperature environments. Pt thin film was used as micro heaters and temperature sensor materials. The resistance of temperature sensor and the power consumption of micro heaters were measured and calculated. The heater is designed for operating temperature up to about $800^{\circ}C$ and can be operated at about $500^{\circ}C$ with a power of 312 mW. The thermal coefficient of the resistance(TCR) of fabricated Pt resistance of temperature detector(RTD)'s is 3174.64 ppm/$^{\circ}C$. A thermal distribution measured by IR thermovision is uniform on the membrane surface.

The 90 nm gate pattern technology have been virtualized by employing the hard mask and the planarization of fate poly silicon. We fabricated 70nm poly-Si on $200 nm-SiO_2/p-Si(100)$ substrates using low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) to investigate roughness evolution by varying rapid annealing temperatures. The samples were annealed at the temperatures of $700^{\circ}C\~1100^{\circ}C$ for 40 seconds with a rapid thermal annealer. The surface image and the surface roughness were measured by a field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and an atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The poly silicon surface became more rough as temperature increased due to surface agglomeration. The optimum conditions of poly silicon planarization were achieved by annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 40 seconds.

The polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films heteroepitaxially grown by LPCVD method using single precursor 1,3-disilabutane at $850^{\circ}C$. The crystallinity of the 3C-SiC thin film was analyzed by XRD and FT-IR. Residual strain was investigated by Raman scattering. The surface morphology was also observed by AFM and voids or dislocations between SiC and $SiO_2$ were measured by SEM. The grown poly 3C-SiC thin film is very good crystalline quality, surface like mirror, and low defect and strain. Therefore, the polycrystalline 3C-SiC is suitable for harsh environment MEMS applications.

Porous 3C-SiC(pSiC) samples with different pore diameters were prepared from poly crystalline N-type 3C-SiC by electrochemical anodization. The pSiC surface was chemically modified by the sputtering of Pd and Pt nano-particles as a hydrogen catalyst. Changes in resistance were monitored with hydrogen concentrations in the range of 110 ppm - 410 ppm. The variations of the electrical resistance in the presence of hydrogen demonstrated that Pd and Pt-deposited pSiC samples have the ability to detect hydrogen at room temperature. Regardless of the catalyst, the 25 nm pore diameter samples showed good response and recovery properties. However, the 60 nm samples showed unstable and slow response. It was found that the pore size affects the catalyst reaction and consequently, results in changes of the sensitivity to hydrogen.

This paper describes the physical characterizations of polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films heteroepitaxially grown on Si wafers with thermal oxide, In this work, the 3C-SiC film was deposited by LPCVD (low pressure chemical vapor deposition) method using single precursor 1, 3-disilabutane $(DSB:\;H_3Si-CH_2-SiH_2-CH_3)\;at\;850^{\circ}C$. The crystallinity of the 3C-SiC thin film was analyzed by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction) and FT-IR (fourier transform-infrared spectometers), respectively. The surface morphology was also observed by AFM (atomic force microscopy) and voids or dislocations between SiC and $SiO_2$ were measured by SEM (scanning electron microscope). Finally, residual strain was investigated by Raman scattering and a peak of the energy level was less than other type SiC films, From these results, the grown poly 3C-SiC thin film is very good crystalline quality, surface like mirror, and low defect and strain. Therefore, the polycrystalline 3C-SiC is suitable for harsh environment MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) applications.

This paper describes the characteristics of polycrystalline 3C-SiC doubly clamped beam micro resonators. The polycrystalline 3C-SiC doubly clamped beam resonators with 60 ~ 100 ${\mu}m$ lengths, $10\;{\mu}m$ width, and $0.4\;{\mu}m$ thickness were fabricated using a surface micromachining technique. Polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators were actuated by piezoelectric element and their fundamental resonant frequency was measured by a laser vibrometer in vacuum at room temperature. For the 60 ~ 100 ${\mu}m$ long cantilevers, the fundamental frequency appeared at 373.4 ~ 908.1 kHz. The resonant frequencies of doubly clamped beam with lengths were higher than simulated results because of tensile stress. Therefore, polycrystalline 3C-SiC doubly clamped beam micro resonators are suitable for RF MEMS devices and bio/chemical sensor applications.

This paper presents the fabrication and characteristics of microheaters, built on AlN(0.1 um)/3C-SiC(1 um) suspended membranes. Pt was used as microheater and temperature sensor materials. The results of simulated are shown that AlN/3C-SiC membrane has more large uniform-temperature area than $SiO_2$/3C-SiC membrane. Resistance of temperature sensor and power consumption of microheater were measured and calculated. Pt microheater generates the heat of about $550^{\circ}C$ at 340 mW and TCR of Pt temperature sensor is about 3188 ppm/$^{\circ}C$.

The local oxidation using an atomic force microscopy (AFM) is useful for Si-base fabrication of nanoscale structures and devices. SiC is a wide band-gap material that has advantages such as high-power, high-temperature and high-frequency in applications, and among several SiC poly types, 4H-SiC is the most attractive poly type due to the high electron mobility. However, the AFM local oxidation of 4H-SiC for fabrication is still difficult, mainly due to the physical hardness and chemical inactivity of SiC. In this paper, we investigated the local oxidation of 4H-SiC surface using an AFM. We fabricated oxide patterns using a contact mode AFM with a Pt/Ir-coated Si tip (N-type, $0.01{\sim}0.025\;{\Omega}cm$) at room temperature, and the relative humidity ranged from 40 to 50%. The height of the fabricated oxide pattern ($1{\sim}3\;nm$) on SiC is similar to that of typically obtained on Si ($10^{15}{\sim}10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$). We perform the 2-D simulation to further analyze the electric field between the tip and the surface. Whereas the simulated electric field on Si surface is constant ($5\;{\times}\;10^7\;V/m$), the electric field on SiC surface increases with increasing the doping concentration from ${\sim}10^{15}$ to ${\sim}10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$. We demonstrated that a specific electric field ($4\;{\times}\;10^7\;V/m$) and a doping concentration (${\sim}10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$) is sufficient to switch on/off the growth of the local oxide on SiC.
