  • Publication number: 20100283096
    Abstract: A semiconductor device including a conductive layer, a diffusion barrier layer formed over the conductive layer, including a refractory metal compound, and acquired after a surface treatment, and a metal silicide layer formed over the diffusion barrier layer. The adhesion between a diffusion barrier layer and a metal silicide layer may be improved by increasing the surface energy of the diffusion barrier layer through a surface treatment. Therefore, although the metal silicide layer is fused in a high-temperature process, it is possible to prevent a void from being caused at the interface between the diffusion barrier layer and the metal silicide layer. Moreover, it is possible to increase the adhesion between a conductive layer and the diffusion barrier layer by increasing the surface energy of the conductive layer through the surface treatment.

  • Publication number: 20090050077
    Abstract: Disclosed is a boiler which is easily convertible from a normal type oil boiler to a condensing type oil boiler or vice versa thereby reducing manufacturing costs for the boiler. A size and a weight of the boiler are reduced by vertically installing a latent heat exchanger in an outer housing of the boiler together with a combustion chamber and a main heat exchanger. The boiler includes a combustion chamber, a heat exchange section, and an outer housing. Coupling holes are formed in the outer housing, a circulation chamber is formed at a lower portion of the outer housing, a burner is provided at an upper portion of the combustion chamber so as to generate heat in a downward direction thereof, the combustion chamber is vertically installed in one of the coupling holes, and a lower portion of the combustion chamber is communicated with the circulation chamber. The heat exchange section includes first and second heat exchangers and is vertically installed in the outer housing adjacent to the combustion chamber.
