Stainless steel 316L (STS 316L) is widely used as a material of biopsy needle. However it has a side effect that tissue can be damaged by electrochemical operation between tissue and STS 316L. Many studies have been made on the ceramic coating of biopsy needle to reduce the side effect. In this study, STS 316L was coated with three bioceramics, $Al_2O_3$, $SiO_2$ and $ZrO_2$ using a RF magnetron sputtering method. The effects of ceramic coating on the electrical conductivity and coating strength of ceramic-coated STS 316L were investigated. The results showed that the electrical conductivity of ceramic-coated STS 316L was much lower than that of uncoated STS 316L. The coating strength of $ZrO_2$-coated STS 316L was 30% and 70% higher, respectively than those of $Al_2O_3$-coated STS 316L and $SiO_2_3$-coated STS 316L.

Zr-O ($Zr-ZrO_2$) cermets solar selective coatings with a double cermets layer film structure were prepared using a DC (direct current) magnetron sputtering method. The typical film structure from surface to bottom substrate were an $Al_2O_3$ anti-reflection layer on a double Zr-O cermets layer on an Al metal infrared reflection layer. Optical properties of optimized Zr-O cermets solar selective coating had an absorptance of ${\alpha}\;=\;0.95$ and thermal omittance of ${\epsilon}\;=\;0.10\;(100^{\circ}C)$. The absorbing layer of Zr-O cermets coatings on glass and silicon substrate was identified as being amorphous by using XRD. AFM showed that ZF-O cermets layers were very smooth and their surface roughness were approximately $0.1{\sim}0.2 nm$. The chemical analysis of the cermets coatings were determined by using XPS. Chemical shift of photoelectron binding energy was occurred due to the change of Zr-O cermets coating structure deposited with increase in oxygen flow rate. The result of thermal stability test showed that the Zr-O cermets solar selective coating was stable for use at temperature below $350^{\circ}C$.

Al:ZnO thin films were deposited using the radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique at various temperatures and sputtering powers. With the increase in the deposition temperature and the decrease in the radio frequency sputtering power, the crystallinity was increased and the surface roughness was decreased, which lead to the decrease in the electrical resistivity of the film. It is also clearly observed that, the intensity of the (002) XRD peak increases with increasing the substrate temperature [1,2]. The electrical resistivity and optical transmittance of the Al:ZnO thin film were analyzed as a function of the post-annealing temperature. It can be seen that with the annealing temperature set at $400^{\circ}C$, the resistivity decreases to a minimum value of $4.1{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$ and the transmittance increases to a maximum value of 85% of the Al:ZnO thin film.

TiAlN thin films were prepared by a multi target r.f magnetron sputtering system under different conditions. We have investigated the resistivity and T.C.R. (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) characteristics of TiAlN films deposited on $Al_2O_3$ and glass substrates by sputtering in an $Ar:N_2$ gas mixture. We used Al and Ti metal as Target Material and $Ar:N_2$ gas as working gas. We varied the partial pressure ratio of $N_2/Ar$ from 0.2/7 to 1.0/6.2 (SCCM). And the R.F power of Ti and Al Target also were varied as 160/240, 200/200 and 240/160(W). In this experiment, we can get the precision thin film resistor with a very low T.C.R. (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) below 25 ppm ${\Omega}/^{\circ}C$.

3족 질화물에 기반한 발광다이오드는 비소화물이나 인화물에 비해 여러 가지 장점을 가져 각광받아왔다. 특히, (Al)GaN 에 기반한 자외선 영역 발광 다이오드는 자외선 경화, 소독 등의 여러 가지 응용 가능성을 가진다 [1]. 하지만, 심자외선 영역으로 갈수록 높은 접촉 저항과 투명전극에서의 광흡수에 의해 전류주입 효율과 광추출 효율이 감소하여 결국 외부양자 효율이 더욱 열화되는 특성을 보인다. 이는 넓은 밴드갭을 가지는 물질을 이용하여 p-(Al)GaN 층에서 오믹접촉을 이루어야만 해결이 가능하지만 아직까지 이러한 결과가 보고된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는, 우리는 넓은 밴드갭을 가지는 silicon dioxide (SiO2) 에 전기장을 인가하여 p-GaN, and p-AlGaN 층에 전도성 필라멘트를 형성하여 전기전도도를 부여하는 연구를 진행하였다. p-GaN 과 p-AlGaN 위에서 5 nm 두께의 SiO2는 schottky 한 특성과 280 nm의 파장대역에서 약 97%의 투과율을 보였다. 비록 schottky 장벽이 형성되었지만, 전기전도도가 크게 향상되었으며 심자외선 영역에서 매우 낮은 흡수율을 보였다. 이는 기존의 증착후 열처리를 거쳐 제조된 전극에 비하여 우수한 특성을 지니며 향후 심자외선 영역 발광다이오드의 p-(Al)GaN 층 위에 오믹접촉을 이룰수 있는 가능성을 제시한다.

$Al_2O_3$ 2 wt%가 도핑 된 ZnO(AZO) 타겟으로RF 스퍼터링 장비를 사용하여 $H_2/(Ar+H_2)$ 가스 비율에 따른 AZO 박막을 증착 후, 이들 박막의 특성을 조사하였다. AZO 박막은 $200^{\circ}C$, $2{\times}10^{-2}$ 공정조건에서 $H_2/(Ar+H_2)$ 가스 비율을 변화시키면서 증착하였다. AZO박막증착 중 수소가스의 첨가는 박막의 특성에 영향을 미쳤다. $H_2/(Ar+H_2)$ 가스 비율이 2.5 %일 때 비 저항(${\sim}9.21{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}cm$)과 전자 이동도(${\sim}17.8\;cm^2/Vs$)는 각각 최소값과 최대값을 나타내었다. $H_2/(Ar+H_2)$ 가스 비율이 2.5 % 이상일 때는 $H_2/(Ar+H_2)$ 가스 비율이 증가할수록 비저항은 점차로 증가하였고 전자 이동도는 점차적으로 감소하였다. 전자 운반자 농도는 $H_2/(Ar+H_2)$ 가스 비율이 증가함에 따라 0 %에서 7.5 %까지 점차로 증가하였다. $H_2/(Ar+H_2)$ 가스 비율에 따라 증착된 박막의 가시광선 파장 범위에서 평균 광 투과도는 90 % 이상이었고 성장방향은 [002]이었다.

To apply PDP panel, Soda lime glass(SLG) is cheeper than Non-alkali glass and PD-200 glass but has problems such as low strain temperature and ion diffusion by alkali metal oxide. In this paper suggest the methode that prohibits ion diffusion by deposing barrier layer on SLG. Indium thin oxide(ITO) thin films and barrier layers were prepared on SLG substrate by Rf-magnetron sputtering. These films show a high electrical resistivity and rough uniformity as compared with PD-200 glass due to the alkali ion from the SLG on diffuse to the ITO film by the heat treatment. However these properties can be improved by introducing a barrier layer of $SiO_2\;or\;Al_2O_3$ between ITO film and SLG substrate. The characteristics of films were examined by the 4-point probe, SEM, UV-VIS spectrometer, and X-ray diffraction. GDS analysis confirmed that barrier layer inhibited Na and Ka ion diffusion from SLG. Especially ITO films deposited on the $Al_2O_3$ barrier layer had higher properties than those deposited on the $SiO_2$ barrier layer.

In this study, we intended to achieve both antibacterial properties and electromagnetic shielding using the Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films. FTS (Facial Target Sputtering) magnetron sputtering was used for the AZO thin films instead of the conventional RF sputtering because the FTS sputtering could avoid the damage for the plasma as well as fabrication of thin films with a high quality. The 300-nm thick AZO thin films grown on glass substrate showed a resistivity of about $7{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm$ and a transmittance of about 90% at a wavelength of 550 nm. AZO thin films were investigated for the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness measured by 2-port network method at 1.5 ~ 3 GHz. The AZO (300 nm)/glass films showed an EMI shielding effectiveness of approximately 27 dB. An antibacterial effect was measured by the film attachment method (JIS Z 2801). The percent reductions of bacteria by AZO films were 99.99668% and 99.99999% against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively.

0.5 wt% Al doped ZnO thin films (AZO) were prepared on glass substrates using RF magnetron sputtering method. Thin films were grown at substrate temperature of $250^{\circ}C$, RF power of 75W, working pressure of 10 mTorr, by changing the $O_2/Ar$ pressure ratio from 0% to 16.7%. The effects of oxygen partial pressure during the deposition process on structural and optical properties of the films were investigated using XRD, SEM, AFM, EPMA and UV-visible spectroscopy. All the AZO thin films were grown as hexagonal wurtzite phase with the c-axis preferred out-of-plane orientation. The surface roughness and grain size of AZO films decreased with increasing oxygen ratio from 10.6 nm to 3.2 nm and 94.9 nm to 30.9 nm, respectively. On the other hand, the transmittance and band gap energy of the AZO films increased from 84.7% to 92.6% and 3.24 eV to 3.28 eV, respectively with increasing the $O_2/Ar$ pressure ratio.
