This paper presents the results for deposition of micrometer-scale metal lines on glass for the development of TFT-LCD circuit repair-system. Although there had been a few studies in the late 1980's for the deposition of metallic interconnects by laser-induced chemical vapor deposition, those studies mostly used continuous wave lasers. In this work, a third harmonic Nd:YLF laser (351nm) of high repetition rates, up to 10 KHz, was used as the illumination source and W(CO)s was selected as the precursor. General characteristics of the metal deposit (tungsten) such as height, width, morphology as well as electrical properties were examined for various process conditions. Height of the deposited tungsten lines ranged from 35 to 500 m depending on laser power and scan speed while the width was controlled between 50um using a slit placed in the beam path. The resistivity of the deposited tungsten lines was measured to be below $1{\Omega}{\cdotu}um$, which is an acceptable value according to the manufacturing standard. The tungsten lines produced at high scan speed had good surface morphology with little particles around the patterns. Experimental results demonstrated that it is likely that the deposit forms through a hybrid process, namely through the combination of photolytic and pyrolytic mechanisms.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to identify physicochemical properties such as chemical composition, size, shape and crystal structure of powder byproducts generated from a metallization process and its 1st scrubber in the semiconductor industry. Methods: Powder samples were collected from inner chambers during maintenance of the W-plug process equipment (using tungsten hexafluoride as a precursor material) and its 1st scrubber. The chemical composition, size and shape of the powder particles were determined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS). The crystal structure of the powders was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results: From the SEM-EDS and TEM-EDS analyses, O and W were mainly detected, which indicates the powder byproducts are tungsten trioxide ($WO_3$), whereas Al, F and Ti were detected as low peaks. The powder particles were spherical and nearly spherical, and the particle size collected from the process equipment and its 1st scrubber showed 10-20 nm (agglomerates: 55-90 nm) and 16-20 nm (agglomerates: 80-120 nm) as primary particles, respectively. The XRD patterns of the yellow powder byproducts exhibit five peaks at $23.8^{\circ}$ $33.9^{\circ}$ $41.74^{\circ}$ $48.86^{\circ}$ and $54.78^{\circ}$ which correspond to the (200), (220), (222), (400), and (420) planes of cubic $WO_3$. Conclusions: We elucidated the physicochemical characteristics of the powder byproducts collected from W-plug process equipment and its 1st scrubber. This study should provide useful information for the development of alternative strategies to improve the working environment and workers' health.

We perform the physical analysis such that Si/W composition ratios and phosphorus distribution change in the W/S $i_{x}$ thin films according to phosphorus concentration of polysilicon and W $F_{6}$ flow rate for the formation of WS $i_{x}$ polycide used as a gate electrode. We report that these physical characteristics have effects on the contact resistance between word line and bit line in DRAM devices. RBS measurements show that for the samples having phosphorus concentrations of 4.75 and 6.0${\times}$10$^{2-}$ atoms/㎤ in polysilicon, by applying W $F_{6}$ flow rates decreases from 4.5 to 3.5 sccm, Si/W composition ratio has increases to 2.05∼2.24 and 2.01∼2.19, respectively. SIMS analysis give that phosphorus concentration of polysilicon for both samples have decreases after annealing, but phosphorus concentration of WS $i_{x}$ thin film has increases by applying W $F_{6}$ flow rates decreases from 4.5 to 3.5 sccm. The contact resistance between word line and bit line in the sample with phosphorus concentration of 6.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{20}$ atoms/㎤ in polysilicon is lower than the sample with 4.75 ${\times}$ 10$^{20}$ atoms/㎤ After applying W $F_{6}$ flow rates decreases from 4.5 to 3.5 sccm, the contact resistance has been improved dramatically from 10.1 to 2.3 $\mu$ $\Omega$-$\textrm{cm}^2$.

An optimum route to fabricate a hybrid-structured W powder composed of nano and micro size powders was investigated. The mixture of nano and micro W powders was prepared by a ball milling and hydrogen reduction process for $WO_3$ and W powders. Microstructural observation for the ball-milled powder mixtures revealed that the nano-sized $WO_3$ particles were homogeneously distributed on the surface of large W powders. The reduction behavior of $WO_3$ powder was analyzed by a temperature programmed reduction method with different heating rates in Ar-10% $H_2$ atmosphere. The activation energies for the reduction of $WO_3$, estimated by the slope of the Kissinger plot from the amount of reaction peak shift with heating rates, were measured as 117.4 kJ/mol and 94.6 kJ/mol depending on reduction steps from $WO_3$ to $WO_2$ and from $WO_2$ to W, respectively. SEM and XRD analysis for the hydrogen-reduced powder mixture showed that the nano-sized W particles were well distributed on the surface of the micro-sized W powders.

본 연구에서는 바이오가스를 이용하는 열병합 발전에서 배출되는 질소산화물을 환원제인 암모니아와 촉매를 이용하여 제거하는 선택적촉매환원법(selective catalytic reduction, SCR)에 있어서 다양한 배가스 특성에 대한 바나듐 촉매 연구를 수행하였다. 연구에 사용한 촉매는 상용촉매인 V/W/TiO₂를 사용하였으며 다양한 운전조건에서 텅스텐 함량에 따라 영향을 확인하였다. NH₃-SCR 실험 결과 380 ~ 450 ℃에서 95% 이상의 탈질 성능을 확인하였으며 SO₂ 내구성 실험 및 TGA 분석을 통해 미량의 SO₂에 대한 촉매의 내구성을 확인하였다. 또한 H₂-TPR 분석결과 텅스텐 함량이 높을수록 우수한 산화·환원(redox) 특성을 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 따라 열병합 발전에서 배출되는 미량의 일산화탄소에 대한 산화실험을 수행하였으며 역시 우수한 일산화탄소의 산화력을 확인할 수 있었다. NH₃-DRIFTs 분석에서는 텅스텐 함량이 높을수록 Bronsted/Lewis acid sites 모두 증가하였으며 텅스텐을 촉매에 첨가 시 우수한 열적 내구성을 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 다양한 운전조건에 따른 실험 결과, 텅스텐 함량이 높은 촉매가 바이오가스를 이용하는 열병합 발전에 적용하기 바람직하다고 판단된다.

무전해 도금 용액을 이용하여 구리를 직접 텅스텐(Tungsten, W) 기판 위에 도금하였다. 도금 용액의 농도는 각각 $CuSO_4$ 7.615 g/L, EDTA 10.258 g/L, glyoxylic acid 7 g/L로 하였다. 도금 용액의 pH는 11.0에서 12.8까지 변화시켰으며, 용액의 온도는 $60^{\circ}C$로 유지하였다. 도금된 필름의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 X선 회절분석기, 전계 방출 주사 전자 현미경, 주사형 원자력 현미경, X선 광전자 분석기 및 Rutherford backscattering spectroscope(RBS)를 사용하였다. 구리 도금을 위한 가장 좋은 pH 조건은 11.8이였다. 이 용액에서 10분 동안 도금한 경우 둥근 모양의 구리 입자가 균일하게 도금되었으며, 불순물 peak이 없는 순수 구리 peak이였고, 근평균 제곱 표면 거칠기는 약 11 nm가 되었다. 또한, pH 11.8에서 12분 동안 도금한 필름의 두께는 140 nm이었고 도금속도는 약 12 nm/min였다. 무전해 도금 용액의 pH를 12.8로 증가시키면 도금된 구리 필름은 Cu peak 이외에 불순물 peak인 $Cu_2O$가 나타나고 구리 입자 모양도 기다란 직사각형 모양으로 변하였다. 순수 구리의 도금을 위해서는 도금 용액에서 적당한 pH를 유지하여야 한다. 도금된 구리의 농도는 RBS로 측정한 결과 99 atom％였다. 또한, Cu/W 필름은 전기 도금하는 동안 합금 형태를 이루기 때문에 접착성도 좋았다.

본 연구에서는 co-sputtering을 통한 $WO_3$와 $In_2O_3$ 타겟을 사용하여 $WO_3$ 파워에 따른 Tungsten(W)-doped $In_2O_3$ (IWO) 투명 전극의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성을 연구하고 이를 활용한 유기태양전지(Organic Photovoltaics; OPVs)의 특성을 분석하였다. Tungsten의 doping 농도는 $WO_3$에 인가되는 Radio-frequency (RF) power를 5~30 W 까지 변화시켜 조절하였으며, Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) 후 열처리 공정을 통해 IWO 박막의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성을 분석하였다. Hall measurement 및 UV/Vis spectrometry 분석을 통하여 가시광선 영역에서 80% 이상의 높은 투과율, $48\;cm^2\;V^{-1}\;s^{-1}$의 홀 이동도, 20 ${\Omega}/{\Box}$ 이하의 낮은 면저항과 $3.2{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}-cm$의 비저항 값을 나타내었다. 최적화된 IWO 박막을 이용한 OPV 셀 특성은 fill factor(FF): 61.59 %, short circuit current($J_{SC}$): 8.84 $mA/cm^2$, open circuit voltage($V_{OC}$): 0.60 V, efficiency(PCE): 3.27 %로 ITO로 제작된 OPV 샘플과 비교하였을 때 ITO를 대체할 수 있는 고이동도의 새로운 투명 전극 재료로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

In this study, we investigated the precipitation behavior of the R-phase precipitated at the initial stage of aging and its effects on the mechanical properties of 25%Cr-7%Ni-2%Mo-4%W super duplex stainless steel. The R-phase was mainly precipitated at the interface of ferrite/austenite phases and inside of the ferrite phase during the initial stage of aging. It was transformed into the ${\sigma}$-phase with an increase of the aging time. The ferrite phase was decomposed into a new austenite(${\gamma}_2$)phase and the ${\sigma}$-phase by an aging treatment. The R phase was an intermetallic compound showing higher molybdenum and tungsten concentrations than the matrix and also showed higher molybdenum and tungsten concentrations than the ${\sigma}$ phase. In the initial stage of aging, precipitation of the R-phase did not change the hardness, the strength and the elongation. The hardness and the strength increased upon a longer aging time, but the elongation rapidly decreased. These results show that the R-phase did not significantly affect the hardness and the strength, though it did influence the elongation.
