In this paper, MgO (Magnesium Oxide) based biosensors were fabricated for chemical solution sensing with high pH sensitivity. CF4 plasma treatment was carried out to shape nanostructures and stabilize the material properties of the MgO membrane. For the CF4 plasma treatment of MgO films and deposition of silicon based films, Samco PECVD system PD-220N was used.

Sputter SiO2 deposition process has a challenge in reproducibility in device fabrication.
In this paper, as an alternative of the sputter deposition method, PECVD deposition method was developed in combination with Ar ion milling. Samco PECVD system, PD-270STL at AIST was used for SiO2 insulation layer deposition. With effective chamber conditioning, SiO2 insulation with less particles was achieved with an excellent run-to-run reproducibility.

This research was presented at 29th International Symposium on Superconductivity.

Micro dielectric barrier discharge (MDBD) devices have some potential interesting applications such as surface modification. Silicon Nitride (SiNx) film can be used as a dielectric barrier layer material in MDBD devices. However, there are challenges of crack and wrinkle formation due to mechanical stress of SiNx film in device fabrication. Samco plasma CVD system was used for SiNx film deposition. With optimization of deposition process recipe, compressive stress of SiNx film was mitigated to suppress crack formation.
