Metal thin films such as aluminum have been used as interconnects in semiconductor device. Recently, these materials are applied to structural materials in microsensors and microactuators. In this study, we evaluate deformation and strength behavior of aluminum alloy film. Three layer model for thermal deformation of multilayered thin film material is introduced and applied to Si/Al(1%Si)/$SiO_2$ system. Based on beam bending theory and concept of bending strain. elastic and elastic/plastic thermal deformation behaviors of multilayered materials can be estimated. In the case of plastic deformation of ductile layer, strain rate equations based on deformation mechanism map are employed for describe the stress relaxation effect. To experimentally examine deformation of multilayered thin film materials, in-situ laser scanning method is used to measure curvature of specimens during heating and cooling. The thickness of $SiO_2$ layer is varied to estimate third-layer effect of thermal deformation of metal films, and its effect on deformation behavior are discussed.

Flat panel displays fabricated on glass substrate use amorphous Si for data processing circuit. Recent progress in display technology requires a new material to replace the amorphous Si, and ZnO is a good candidate. ZnO is a wide bandgap (3.3 eV) semiconductor with high mobility and good optical transparency. ZnO is usually grown by sputtering using ZnO ceramic target. However, ceramic target is more expensive than metal target, and making large area target is very difficult. In this work we studied characteristics of ZnO thin-film transistor grown by rf sputtering using Zn metal target and $CO_2$. ZnO film was grown at $450^{\circ}C$ substrate temperature, with -70 V substrate bias voltage applied. By using these methods, our ZnO TFT showed $5.2cm^2/Vsec$ mobility, $3{\times}10^6$ on-off ratio, and -7 V threshold voltage.

Metal-vapor-vacuum-arc ion source is an ideal source for both high current metal ion implanter and high current plasma thin-film deposition systems. It uses the direct evaporation of metal from surface of cathode by vacuum arc to produce a very high flux of ion plasmas. The MEVVA ion source, the high-current metal-ion implanter and high-current magnetic-field-filtered plasma thin-film deposition systems developed in Beijing Normal University are introduced in this paper.

습식 식각은 식각용액으로서 화학용액을 사용하는 공정으로 반응물이 기판표면에서 화학반응을 일으켜 표면을 식각하는 과정이다. 습식 식각 시 수${\mu}m$의 해상도를 얻기 위해서는 그 부식액의 조성이나, 에칭시간, 부식액의 온도 등을 고려하여야 한다. 본 실험에서 사용한 금속은 Cr, Al, ITO 로 모두 DC sputter 방법을 사용해서 증착하여 사용하였다. Cr박막은 $1300{\AA}$ 정도의 두께를 사용하였고, ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) 박막은 가시광 영역에서 투명하고 (80% 이상의 transmittance), 저저항 (Sheet Resistance : $50\;{\Omega}/sq$ 이하) 인 박막을 사용하였으며, 신호선으로 주로 사용되는 Al등의 증착조건에 따른 wet etching 특성을 조사하였다.

Even though the fabrication methods of metal oxide based thin film capacitor have been well established such as RF sputtering, Sol-gel, metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD), an applicable capacitor of printed circuit board (PCB) has not realized yet by these methods. Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) and other high-k ceramic oxides are important materials used in integrated passive devices, multi-chip modules (MCM), high-density interconnect, and chip-scale packaging. Thin film multi-layer technology is strongly demanded for having high capacitance (120 nF/$mm^2$). In this study, we suggest novel multi-layer thin film capacitor design and fabrication technology utilized by plasma assisted deposition and photolithography processes. Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) was used for the dielectric material since it has high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss. 5-layered BST and Pt thin films with multi-layer sandwich structures were formed on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by RF-magnetron sputtering and DC-sputtering. Pt electrodes and BST layers were patterned to reveal internal electrodes by photolithography. SiO2 passivation layer was deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD). The passivation layer plays an important role to prevent short connection between the electrodes. It was patterned to create holes for the connection between internal electrodes and external electrodes by reactive-ion etching (RIE). External contact pads were formed by Pt electrodes. The microstructure and dielectric characteristics of the capacitors were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and impedance analyzer, respectively. In conclusion, the 0402 sized thin film multi-layer capacitors have been demonstrated, which have capacitance of 10 nF. They are expected to be used for decoupling purpose and have been fabricated with high yield.

We have fabricated Ti metal films on Cu wire substrates by using a RF magnetron sputtering method at different RF powers (0, 30 and 60 W) in a high vacuum, and we have investigated the thin film characteristics and resistivity. The ion bombardment effect is increased by the method to superimpose RF power to DC power applied to two poles of the base; thus, the thin film is deposited at sputtering gas pressures below 1 Pa. Moreover, the thin film formation of the multilayer structure becomes possible by gradually injecting the RF power, and the thin film quality is improved.

본 연구에서는 박막트랜지스터의 특성 향상을 위하여 강유전성 박막을 게이트 절연층으로 사용하기 위하여 강유전성 박막과 a-Si:H의 계면특성을 조사하였다. 먼저 강유전성 박막 중에 대표적인 SrTiO$_3$를 I-BEAM 증착기로 박막을 형성시켰다. 형성된 박막은 N2 분위기에서 $150^{\circ}C∼600^{\circ}C$로 1시간 ANNEALING하여 전자현미경으로 표면을 측정하였다. SrTiO$_3$의 유전상수는 50∼100 정도였으며 항복전계는 1∼l.5 MV/cm로 매우 우수한 유전특성을 갖고 있었다. 강유전체 박막 위에 a-SiN:H,a-Si:H(n-type a-Si:H) 등을 PECVD로 증착하여 MFNS구조를 형성하였다. 계면특성을 C-V PLOTTER로 측정한 결과 SrTiO$_3$ 박막은 SiN과의 접합이 매우 안정되어 있었고 C-V특성은 SiN/a-Si:H과 유사하였다. 그러나 FERROELECTRIC/a-S:H의 경우가 훨씬 CAPACITANCE 값이 컸으며, 이는 강유전체 박막의 높은 유전상수에 기인 된 것이라 생각된다.

In recent years, multifunctional ternary nitride thin films have received extenstive attention due to its versatility in many applications. In particular, noble metal based ternary nitride thin films showed a promising properties in the application of Multifunctional heating resistor films because its good electrical properties and excellent resistance against oxidation and corrosion. In this study, we prepared multifunctional noble metal based ternary nitride thin films by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and plasma-enhanced ALD (PEALD) method. ALD and PEALD techniques were used due to their inherent merits such as a precise composition control and large area uniformity, which is very attractive for preparing multicomponent thin films on large area substrate. Here, we will demonstrate the design concept of multifunctional noble metal based ternary thin films. And, the relationship between microstructural evolution and electrical resistivity in noble metal based ternary thin films will be systemically presented. The useful properties of noble metal based ternary thin films including anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation will be discussed in terms of hybrid functionality.
