VI probe, which is one of various in-situ plasma monitoring sensor, is frequently used for in-situ process monitoring in mass production environment. In this paper, we correlated the plasma etch results with VI probe data with the small amount of gas flow rate changes to propose usefulness of the VI probe in real-time process monitoring. Several different sized contact holes were employed for the etch experiment, and the etched profiles were measured by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Although the shape of etched hole did not show satisfactory relationship with VI probe data, the chamber status changed along the incremental/decremental modification of the amount of gas flow was successfully observed in terms of impedance monitoring.

In this work a scanning capacitance microscopy(SCaM) by stage driving is proposed and presented some of the experimental results.SCaM is a microscope which scans a surface of materials mechanically in two or two point five dimensions by a capacitance probe with a few tenth $\mu\textrm{m}$ ize tip, and display images of the surface shape or capacitive distribution. The present target of the SCaM is 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ resolution power which exceeds that of optical microscope. This will become a powerful tool for inspecting ULSI pattern etched by X-ray biological data etc. The experimental system is composed based on a VHD video disk which captures the capacitance changes of the video disk surface and converts it into video signal.

We report on the design and fabrication of an electrostatic 2-axis MEMS stage possessing a platform with a size of $5{times}5mm^2$. The stage, as a key component, would be used in developing probe-based storage devices in the future. It was fabricated by forming numerous $5{\times}5{\mu}m^2$ etching holes in the central platform, as a result, reducing the total number of masks to 1, thereby simplifying the whole fabrication process. Experimental results show that the driving range of the stage was $32{\mu}m$ at the supplied voltage of 20V and the natural frequency was approximately 300Hz. The mechanical coupling between x- and y-motion was also measured and verified to be $25\%$.

ICP-CVD(inductively-coupled Plasma chemical vapor deposition)를 사용하여 $250^{\circ}C$기판온도에서 140 nm 두께의 수소화된 비정질 실리콘(${\alpha}$-Si:H)을 제조하였다. 그 위에 30 nm-Ni을 열증착기를 이용하여 성막하고, $200{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 $50^{\circ}C$간격으로 30분간 진공열처리하여 실리사이드화 처리하였다. 완성된 실리사이드의 처리온도에 따른 실리사이드의 면저항값 변화, 미세구조, 상 분석, 표면조도 변화를 각각 사점면저항측정기, HRXRD(high resolution X-ray diffraction), FE-SEM(field emission scanning electron microscope), TEM(transmission electron microscope), SPM(scanning probe microscope)을 활용하여 확인하였다. $300^{\circ}C$에는 고저항상인 $Ni_3Si$, $400^{\circ}C$에서는 중저항상인 $Ni_2Si$, $450^{\circ}C$이상에서 저저항의 나노급 두께의 균일한 NiSi를 확인되었다. SPM결과에서 저저항 상인 NiSi는 $450^{\circ}C$에서 RMS(root mean square) 표면조도 값도 12 nm이하로 전체 공정온도를 $450^{\circ}C$까지 낮추어 유리와 폴리머기판 등 저온기판에 대응하는 저온 니켈모노실리사이드 공정이 가능하였다.

We fabricated nickel silicide layers on whole non-patterned wafers from $p-Si(100)SiO_2(200nm)$/poly-Si(70 nm)mn(40 nm) structure by 40 sec rapid thermal annealing of $500\~900^{\circ}C$. The sheet resistance, cross-sectional microstructure, surface roughness, and phase analysis were investigated by a four point probe, a field emission scanning electron microscope, a scanning probe microscope, and an X-ray diffractometer, respectively. Sheet resistance was as small as $7\Omega/sq$. even at the elevated temperature of $900^{\circ}C$. The silicide thickness and surface roughness increased as silicidation temperature increased. We confirmed the nickel silicides iron thin nickel/poly-silicon structures would be a mixture of NiSi and $NiSi_2$ even at the $NiSi_2$ stable temperature region.

Silicides have been required to be below 40 nm-thick and to have low contact resistance without agglomeration at high silicidation temperature. We fabricated composite silicide layers on the wafers from Ni(20 nm)/Co(20 nm)/poly-Si(70 nm) structure by rapid thermal annealing of $700{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ for 40 seconds. The sheet resistance, surface composition, cross-sectional microstructure, and surface roughness were investigated by a four point probe, a X-ray diffractometer, an Auger electron spectroscopy, a field emission scanning electron microscope, and a scanning probe microscope, respectively. The sheet resistance increased abruptly while thickness decreased as silicidation temperature increased. We propose that the fast metal diffusion along the silicon grain boundary lead to the poly silicon mixing and inversion. Our results imply that we may consider the serious thermal instability in designing and process for the sub-0.1 um CMOS devices.

몰리브덴(Molybdenum) 박막은 높은 전기전도성을 가진 금속으로 CIGS계 태양전지의 후면전극으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 스퍼터링법을 통해 증착되는 몰리브덴 박막의 경우, 전기 전도성 및 기판과의 밀착성은 스퍼터 전력 및 압력과 같은 공정 조건에 따라 변화된다. 본 연구에서는 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 몰리브덴 박막을 Ar 가스 분위기에서 압력별로 증착하였다. SEM(scanning electron microscope), XRD(X-ray Diffraction), 4-point probe, 광반사율, Hall measurement를 이용하여 박막의 전기적, 구조적 특성을 분석하였다.
