Polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film transistors (TFT's) employing vertical amorphous silicon (a-Si) offsets have been fabricated without additional photolithography processes. The a-Si offset has been formed utilizing the poly-Si grain growth blocking effect by thin native oxide film during the excimer laser recrystallization of a-Si. The ON current degradation of the new device after 4 hour's electrical stress was reduced by 5 times compared with conventional poly-Si TFT's.

본 논문은 유기물로 이루어진 폴리머 기판상에 저온 다결정 실리콘 박막트랜지스터 제조방법에 대해 연구하였다. 먼저, 폴리머 기판에 화학증착방식으로 비결정 실리콘 박막을 증착하였고, 열처리 장치인 퍼니스로 탈수소 및 활성화 공정을 430도에서 2시간동안 진행하였다. 이후 엑시머 레이저를 이용하여 결정화를 진행하여 다결정 실리콘 반도체 막을 제조하였다. 이 박막은 박막트랜지스터 제작을 위한 활성층으로 사용하였다. 제작된 p형 박막트랜지스터는 이동도 $77cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, on/off 전류비는 $10^7$이상의 동작특성을 보였고, 이는 결정화된 박막내부에 결함 농도가 낮음을 의미한다. 이 결과로 유기물 기판상에 엑시머 레이저로 형성된 다결정 실리콘으로 제작된 전자소자는 플렉서블 AMOLED 디스플레이 회로 형성에 최적의 기술임을 알 수 있다.

This paper describes the mechanical properties of poly(polycrystalline) 3C-SiC thin film with various doping concentration, in which poly 3C-SiC thin film's mechanical properties according to the n-doping concentration 1%$(9.2\times10^{15}cm^{-3})$, 3%$(5.2\times10^{17}cm^{-3})$, and 5%$(6.8\times10^{17}cm^{-3})$ respectively was measured by nano indentation. In the case of $9.2\times10^{15}^{-3}$ n-doping concentration, Young's Modulus and hardness were obtained as 270 GPa and 30 GPa, respectively. When the surface roughness according to n-doping concentrations was investigated by AFM(atomic force microscope), the roughness of poly 3C-SiC thin film doped by 5% concentration was 15 nm, which is also the best of them.

We investigated the void formation in composite-titanium silicide($TiSi_2$) process. We varied the process conditions of polycrystalline/amorphous silicon substrate, composite $TiSi_2$ deposition temperature, and silicidation annealing temperature. We report that the main reason for void formation is the mass transport flux discrepancy of amorphous silicon substrate and titanium in composite layer. Sheet resistance in composite $TiSi_2$ without patterns is mainly affected by silicidation rapid thermal annealing (RTA) temperature. In addition, sheet resistance does not depend on the void defect density. Sheet resistance with sub-0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ patterns increase abnormally above $850^{\circ}C$ due to agglomeration. Our results imply that $sub-750^{\circ}C$ annealing is appropriate for sub 0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ composite X$sub-750_2$ process.

To use polycrystalline Si Thin Film Transistor (poly-Si TFT) in high density SRAM instead of High Load Resistor (HLR), TFT is needed to show good electrical characteristics such as large carrier mobility, low leakage current, high driver current and low subthreshold swing. To satisfy these electrical characteristics, the trap state density must be reduced in the channel poly. Technological issues pertinent to the channel poly fabrication process are investigated and discussed. They are solid phase growth (SPG), Si-ion implantation, laser annealing and hydrogenation. The electrical properties of several CVD oxides used as the gate oxide of TFT are compared. The dependence of the electrical characteristics of TFT on source-drain ion-implantation dose, drain offset length and dopant lateral diffusion are also described.

Statistical design of experiments was successfully employed to investigate the effect of alternating magnetic field on activation of polycrystalline Si (p-Si) doped as n-type using $\textrm{PH}_3$, by full factorial design of three factors with two levels. In this design, the input variables are graphite size, alternating current, and activation time. The output parameter, sheet resistance, is analyzed in terms of the primary effects and multi-factor interactions. Notably, the three-factor interaction is calculated to be a dominant interaction. The interaction between graphite size and activation time and the main effect of current are important effects compared to the other variables and relevant interactions. Alternating magnetic flux activation is proved a significantly beneficial processing technique.

This paper deals with piezoresistive humidity sensor using polycrystalline silicon (Poly-Si ) with membrane in sensors of semiconductor. Poly-Si piezoresistors which have no temperature dependancy are deposited on silicon wafer, membrane is formed with micromachining technology, then polyimide is formed as a hygroscopic layer. Whereas the principle of conventional humidify sensors are based on the change in electrical properties of the material, the humidity induced volume change of a polyimide layer leads to a deformation of a silicon membrane in this case. This deformation is transformed into an output voltage by Poly-Si piezoresistive. Wheatstone bridge. Fabricated piezoresistive humidity sensors showed good linearity, response time, and long term stability.

Epitaxial growth of a high-quality thin Si film is essential for the application to low-cost thin-film Si solar cells. A polycrystalline Si film was grown on a $SiO_2$ substrate at $450^{\circ}C$ by a Al-assisted crystal growth process. For the purpose, a thin Al layer was deposited on the $SiO_2$ substrate for Al-assisted crystal growth. However, the epitaxial growth of Si film resulted in a rough surface with humps. Then, we introduced a thin amorphous Si seed layer on the Al film to minimize the initial roughness of Si film. With the help of the Si seed layer, the surface of the epitaxial Si film was smooth and the crystallinity of the Si film was much improved. The grain size of the $1.5-{\mu}m$-thick Si film was as large as 1 mm. The Al content in the Si film was 3.7% and the hole concentration was estimated to be $3{\times}10^{17}/cm^3$, which was one order of magnitude higher than desirable value for Si base layer. The results suggest that Al-doped Si layer could be use as a seed layer for additional epitaxial growth of intrinsic or boron-doped Si layer because the Al-doped Si layer has large grains.

This paper describes the Raman scattering characteristics of polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC thin films, in which they were deposited on the oxidized Si substrate by APCVD method according to growth temperature. Since the phonon modes were not measured for $0.4{\mu}m$ thick 3C-SiC, $2.0{\mu}m$ thick 3C-SiC deposited on the oxidized Si at $1180^{\circ}C$, in which TO (transverse optical mode) and LO (longitudinal optical mode) phonon modes were appeared at 794.4 and $965.7cm^{-1}$, respectively. The broad FWHM (full width half maximum) can explain that the crystallinity of 3C-SiC deposited at $1180^{\circ}C$ becomes polycrystalline instead of disorder crystal. Additionally, the ratio of intensity $I_{LO}/I_{TO}{\approx}1.0$ of 3C-SiC indicates that the crystal disorder of $3C-SiC/SiO_2/Si$ is small. Compared poly $3C-SiC/SiO_2$ with $SiO_2/Si$ interfaces, $1122.6cm^{-1}$ phonon mode was measured which may belong to C-O bonding and two phonon modes, 1355.8 and $1596.8cm^{-1}$ related to D and G bands of C-C bonding in the Raman range of 200 to $2000cm^{-1}$.
