With continuously increasing flat panel display size, uniformity of thin film deposition has been drawing more attentions and associated fabrication methodologies are being actively investigated. Since the convective flow field of mixture gas plays a significant role for deposition characteristics of thin film in an APCVD system, it is greatly important to maintain uniform distribution and consistent concentration of mixture gas species. In this paper, computational study has been performed for the improvement of flow uniformity of mixture gas in an APCVD reactor during thin film deposition process. A diffuser slit has bee designed to spread the locally concentrated gas flow exiting from the flow distributor. A uniform flow distributor has been developed which has less dependency on operating conditions for global flow uniformity

A mathematical model of the hydrodynamic and heat transfer performances of two-phase flow (gas-liquid) in thin film region of micro channel is proposed. For the formulation of modeling, the flow of the vapor phase and the shear stress at the liquid-vapor interface are considered. In this work, disjoining pressure and capillary force which drive the liquid flow at the liquid-vapor interface in thin film region are adopted also. Using the model, the effects of the variations of channel height and heat flux on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigated. Results show that the influence of variation of vapor pressure on the liquid film flow is not negligible. The heat flux in thin-film region is the most important operation factor of micro cooler system.

We prepared the AZO thin film with different $O_2$ gas flow rate. the AZO thin films were deposited on glass substrate at room temperature, working gas pressure of 1mTorr. the electrical, structural and optical properties of AZO thin films were investigated by using Hall Effect measurement system, X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) and UV-VIS spectrometer. From the results, we could obtain that AZO thin film with low resistivity of $8.5{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ was exhibited in specific $O_2$ gas flow rate. Also, the transmittance of over 80% in visible range was observed in specific $O_2$ gas flow rate. In all of the AZO thin film with the transmittance of over 80%, diffraction peak of (002) direction was observed, while amorphous peak was observed in the AZO thin film with the low transmittance.

This paper describes on the fabrication and characteristics of hot-film type micro-flowsensors integrated with Pt-RTD(resistance thermometer device) and micro-heater on the Si membrane in which MgO thin-film was used as medium layer in order to improve adhesion of Pt thin-film to SiO$_2$layer. The MgO layer improved adhesion of Pt thin-film to SiO$_2$layer without any chemical reactions to Pt thin-film under high annealing temperatures. Output voltages increased due to increase of heat-loss from sensor to external. The output voltage was 82 mV at $N_2$flow rate of 2000 sccm/min heating power of 1.2 W. The response time($\tau$:63%) was about 50 msec when input flow was stepinput

The flow of a liquid film on spin coating is investigated in the case that the fixed volume of a liquid is placed on the center of a stationary disk. Thin film equations that are well approximated when the characteristic length in the vertical direction is much smaller than that in the radial direction (${\varepsilon}{\ll}1$) and have already been proposed in the work of T.-S. Kim & M.-U. Kim (2009), are used. The differential equation that governs the free surface of a liquid when ${\varepsilon}{\ll}1$ and ${\varepsilon}Re{\ll}1$ is also derived. The basic flow is analyzed using the thin film equations and their results are compared to the results of Navier-Stokes equations.

Silicon oxide thin films have been deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition in SiH4 and N2O plasma along the variation of the gas flow ratio. Optical emission spectroscopy was employed to monitor the plasma and ellipsometry was employed to obtain refractive index of the deposited thin film. The atomic ratio of Si, O, and N in the film was obtained using XPS depth profiling. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy was used to analyze structures of the films. RI decreased with the increase in N2O/SiH4 gas flow ratio. We noticed the increase in the Si-O-Si bond angles as the N2O/SiH4 gas flow ratio increased, according to the analysis of the Si-O-Si stretching peak between 950 and 1,150 cm-1 in the wavenumber. We observed a correlation between the optical emission intensity ratio of (ISi+ISiH)/IO. The OES intensity ratio is also related with the measured refractive index and chemical composition ratio of the deposited thin film. Therefore, we report the added value of OES data analysis from the plasma related to the thin film characteristics in the PECVD process.

In this study, the AZO thin films were prepared as a function of oxygen gas flow ratio at room temperature by FTS(Facing Targets Sputtering) apparatus using Zn:Al(metal)-Zn:Al(metal) or Zn(metal)-ZnO:Al(ceramic). The film thickness, crystalline and electric properties of AZO thin film was evaluated by $\alpha$-step, XRD and 4-point probe. In the results, the resistivity of AZO thin film was shown the lowest value about 8${\times}$10$^{-2}$ $\Omega$-cm(Zn:Al-Zn:Al), 3${\times}$10$^{-1}$ $\Omega$-cm(Zn-ZnO:Al) at the oxygen gas flow ratio 0.3. And the AZO thin film has good crystalline at oxygen gas flow ration 0.4, using Zn:Al-Zn:Al targets.

This paper presents a study on fluid flow analysis of organic semiconductor thin film deposition process using the computational numerical method. In the production process, the thickness of deposited organic thin film depends on distribution of nozzle size in the linear cell system, so we analyze to decide the optimal nozzle system for uniform thickness of organic thin film. The results of deposited thickness of thin film by numerical analysis are in good agreement with those of the experimental measurements.

Titanium nitride thin films were deposited on $SiO_2$/Si substrate by rf-reactive magnetron sputtering. The structural and electrical properties of the films were investigated with various $N_2/(Ar+N_2)$ flow ratios (nitrogen/argon flow ratio). The resistivity as well as temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of the films strongly depends on phase structure. For the films deposited at nitrogen/argon flow ratio of below 5%, the resistivity increased with increasing nitrogen/argon flow ratios. However, the resistivity of the film deposited at nitrogen/argon flow ratio of 7% decreased drastically; it is even smaller than that of metal titanium nitride. A near-zero TCR value of approximately 9 ppm/K was observed for films deposited at nitrogen/argon flow ratio of 3%.

In this study, we have studied the effect of substrate temperature and hydrogen flow rate on the characteristics of MZO thin films for the TCO(Transparent conducting oxide). MZO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature and $100^{\circ}C$ with various $H_2$ flow rate(1sccm~4sccm). In order to investigate the effect of hydrogen gas flow rate on the MZo thin film, we experimented with changing the hydrogen in argon mixing gas flow rate from 1.0sccm to 4.0sccm. MZO thin films deposited at room temperature and $100^{\circ}C$ show crystalline structure having (002), (103) preferential orientation. The electrical resistivity of the MZO films deposited at $100^{\circ}C$ was lower than that of the MZO film deposited at room temperature. The decrease of electrical resistivity with increasing substrate temperature was interpreted in terms of the increase of the charge carrier mobility and carrier concentration which seems to be due to the oxygen vacancy generated by the reducing atmosphere in the gas. The average transmittance of the MZO films deposited at room temperature and $100^{\circ}C$ with various hydrogen gas flow was more than 80%.
