We have investigated activation phenomena of implanted ions on silicon wafers using microwave(2.45GHz). It is found that the higher concentration of impurities makes the better activation effects by microwave annealing. We have exposed poly-Si TFTs by microwave in order to anneal and improved the device performance. Microwave activates source/drain ions and lowers the contact resistance so that the current of the poly-Si TFTs increases. In addition, the leakage current of hydrogen passivated poly-Si TFTs is decreased after microwave annealing, due to the diffusion of hydrogen ions and curing the defects in the poly-Si active channel.

In this study, the characteristics of single-component and other sealant were analyzed to provide repair methods and effective utilization of sealant due to crack generation. Humidity studies have shown that acrylic silicone is effective in many areas of fluidity and temperature change, and that polysulfide-silicon is most effective in resistance to linear expansion coefficient and external pressure. Therefore, the difference between drying shrinkage and thermal expansion coefficient between various building materials and sealant, as well as the use of sealant, is analyzed, and construction methods derived accordingly, and prevention of defects are considered to be part of the construction project.

반도체 소자의 기판 재료로 사용되고 있는 실리콘 웨이퍼는 그 정밀도가 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 균일한 Dopant 농도 분포를 얻을 수 있는 중성자 변환 Doping을 이용하여 실리콘에 인(P)을 Doping하는 연구를 수행하였다. 중성자 변환 Doping, 즉 NTD(Neutron Transmutation Doping)란 원자번호 30인 실리론 동위원소에 중성자가 조사되면 원자번호 31인 실리콘으로 변환되고, 2.6시간의 반감기를 갖고 decay 되면서 인(P)으로 변하게 되어 실리콘 웨이퍼에 n-type 전도를 갖게 하는 것을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 하나로 원자로를 이용하여 고저항(1000-2000Ω㎝) FZ 실리콘 웨이퍼에 중성자 조사하여 저항의 변화를 관찰하였고, 중성자 조사시 발생하는 점결함을 분석하여 점결함이 저항 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 중성자 조사 전 이론적 계산에 의해 16.8Ω㎝와 4.76Ω㎝의 저항을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 예상되었고, 중성자 조사 후 SRP로 측정한 결과 실리콘 웨이퍼가 3Ω㎝과 2.5Ω㎝의 저항을 가지고 있을 확인할 수 있었으며, FT-IR 분석결과 점결함의 변화 양상을 확인할 수 있었다.

We have investigated the effects of electrical stress on poly-Si TFTs with different hydrogen passivation conditions. The amounts of threshod voltage shift of hydrogen passivated poly-Si TFTs are much larger than those of as-fabricated devices both under the gate only and the gate and drain bias stressing. Also, we have quantitatively analyzed the degradation phenomena by analytical method. We have suggested that the electron trapping in the gate dielectric is the dominant degradation mechanism in only gate bias stressed poly-Si TFT while the creation of defects in the channel region and $poly-Si/SiO_2$ interface is prevalent in gate and drain bias stressed device.

Shallow $p^+-n$ junctions were formed by ion implantation and dual-step annealing processes. The dopant implantation was performed into the crystalline substrates using BF$_2$ ions. The annealing was performed with a rapid thermal processor and a furnace. FA+RTA annealing sequence exhibited better junction characteristics than RTA+FA thermal cycle from the viewpoint of junction depth and sheet resistance. A new simulator is designed to model boron diffusion in silicon. The model which is used in this simulator takes into account nonequilibrium diffusion, reactions of point defects, and defect-dopant pairs considering their charge states, and the dopant inactivation by introducing a boron clustering reaction. Using initial conditions and boundary conditions, coupled diffusion equations are solved successfully. The simulator reproduced experimental data successfully.

A large area impurity doping method for poly-Si TFT LCD has been developed. The advantage of this method is the doping of impurities into Si over a large area without mass separation and beam scanning. Phosphorus diluted in hydrogen was discharged by RF(13.56MHz) power and ions from discharged gas were accelerated by DC acceleration voltage and were implanted into deposited Si films. The annealing characteristic of this method was similar to that of the ion implantation method in the low doping concentration. Three mechanisms were evolved in the annealing characteristics of phosphorus doped Si films. Point defects annihilation and the retrogradation of dopant atoms at grain boundaries as a result of grain growth played a major role at low and high annealing temperature, respectively. However, due to the dopant segregation, the reverse annealing range existed at intermediate annealing temperature.

Some interested phenomena, which were appeared near the bonding interface, were investigated by angle lapping and delineation method, SEM, and TEM observations. Voids, defects, material continuity, and interfacial oxide stability were observed and discussed in the fusion-bonded Bi-Si or Si-$SiO_2$/Si wafer pairs.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a wide bandgap semiconductor possessing photochemical stability and thus widely used for photocatalysis. However, enhancing photocatalytic efficiency is still a challenging issue. In general, the efficiency is affected by physio-chemical properties such as crystalline phase, crystallinity, exposed crystal facets, crystallite size, porosity, and surface/bulk defects. Here we propose an alternative approach to enhance the efficiency by studying interfaces between thin TiO2 layers to be stacked; that is, the interfacial phenomena influencing on the formation of porous structures, controlling crystallite sizes and crystallinity. To do so, multi-layered TiO2 thin films were fabricated by using a sol-gel method. Specifically, a single TiO2 thin layer with a thickness range of 20~40 nm was deposited on a silicon wafer and annealed at $600^{\circ}C$. The processing step was repeated up to 6 times. The resulting structures were characterized by conventional electron microscopes, and followed by carrying out photocatalytic performances. The multi-layered TiO2 thin films with enhancing photocatalytic efficiency can be readily applied for bio- and gas sensing devices.
