The high temperature superconducting YBCO films were deposited on the SrTiO$_3$(100) single crystals to find out the proper deposition conditions of YBCO on biaxially-textured metal substrates. Different sets of the substrate temperature, oxygen partial pressure and laser fluence were used to investigate the effect of deposition conditions on the superconducting properties. The new apparatuses for measuring critical temperature (Tc) and critical current (Ic) were designed and manufactured, which were used to obtain Tc's and Ic's of the deposited films. The accuracy of the new apparatus was confirmed by comparing the results with those from SQUID magnetometer. The results on the YBCO films deposited on single crystal substrates which will be used to get the optimum deposition conditions of YBCO films in the coated conductor, are summarized in this report.

Thin films of $YB_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-d}$ were prepared on various substrated of MgO(100), $SrTiO_{3}$, and $LaAlO_{3}$ by using off-axis magentron sputtering methods and annealing in-situ. The prarameters of film fabrication processes had been optimized through a "follow the lcoal maxima" strategy to yield good quality films in therms of the critical temperature $T_{c}$ and the critical current density $J_{c}$. Optimizedproecsses employing a plane magndtron and an cylindrical magnetron yielded $T_{c}$>90K along with $J_{c}$$10^{6}$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 77K and > 2${\times}$$10^{7}$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 5K. The sampels, however, showed degradationinthe properties, after chemical etching for fabrication of microbridges with the line width of 2-10 mocrons. In particular, the value of $T_{c}$ for the microbridges of 2microns was as small as 80%. The degradation was strongly dependent on the line width through a formula : $T_{c}$(e)=$T_{c}$)b) [1-a exp(-1000 bL)} where $T_{c}$(e) and $T_{c}$ (b) are the values of $T_{c}$ in the absolute scale measured after and before chemical etching, respectively and L is the line width in mm. By utilizing a best fitting technique, the proper constant values of a and to b were found as exp(-1.2) and 0.22, respectively. This formula was very useful in estimatiing the upper limit of the device operationtemperature.

The $(Sr_{1-x}Ca_x)TiO_3$(SCT) thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode (Pt/TiN/$SiO_2$/Si) using RF sputtering method with substitutional contents of Ca. The optimum conditions of RF power and Ar/$O_2$ ratio were 140[W] and 80/20, respectively. Deposition rate of SCT thin film was about 18.75[$\AA$/min]. The dielectric constant was increased with increasing the substitutional contents of Ca, while it was decreased if the substitutional contents of Ca exceeded over 15[mol%]. The capacitance characteristics had a stable value within ${\pm}4$[%] in temperature ranges of -80~+90[$^{\circ}C$].

High dielectric (Ba,Sr)TiO$_3$thin films were etched in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) as a function of C1$_2$/Ar gas mixing ratio. Under Cl$_2$(20)/Ar(80), the maximum etch rate of the BST films was 400$\AA$/min and selectivities of BST to Pt and PR were obtained 0.4 and 0.2, respectively. We investigated the etched surface of BST by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). From the result of XPS analysis, we found that residues of Ba-Cl and Ti-Cl bonds remained on the surface of the etched BST for high boiling point. The surface roughness decreased as Cl$_2$increases in C1$_2$/Ar plasma because of non-volatile etching products. This changed the nature of the crystallinity of BST. From the result of XRD analysis, the crystallinity of etched BST film maintained as similar to as-deposited BST under Ar only and Cl$_2$(20)/Ar(80). However, (100) orientation intensity of etched BST film abruptly decreased at Cl$_2$only plasma. It was caused that Cl compounds were redeposited on the etched BST surface and damaged to crystallinity of BST film during the etch process.

We report the growth of $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$(BST) thin films and their substrate-dependent electrical characteristics. BST thin films were deposited on alumina(non-single crystal), $Al_2O_3$(100) substrates by Nd:YAG Pulsed Laser Deposition(PLD) with a 355nm wavelength at substrate temperature of $700^{\circ}C$ and post-deposition annealing at $750^{\circ}C$ in flowing $O_2$ atmosphere for 1hours. BST materials had been chosen due to high dielectric permittivity and tunability for high frequency applications, To analyze the oxygen partial pressure effects, deposited films at 1, 10, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300 mTorr. The effects of oxygen pressure on structural properties of the deposited films have been investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and atomic force microscope(AFM), respectively. Then we manufactured a inter-digital capacitor(IDC) patterns twenty fingers and $10{\mu}m$ gap, $700{\mu}m$ length and electrical properties were characterized. The results provide a basis for understanding the growth mechanisms and basic structural and electrical properties of BST thin films as required for tunable microwave devices applications such as varactors and tunable filters.

We have studied fabrication of $MgB_2$ thin film on $SrTiO_3$ (001) and r-cut $A1_2$$O_3$ substrates by rf magnetron sputtering method using and $ MgB_2$ single target and two targets of Mg and B, respectively. Based on P -T phase diagram of $MgB_2$ and vapor pressure curves of Mg and B, a three-step process was employed. B layer was deposited at the bottom to enhance the film adhesion to the substrate. Secondly, co-sputtering of Mg and B was done. Finally, Mg was sputtered on top to compensate fur the loss of Mg during annealing. Subsequently, $MgB_2$ films were in-situ annealed in various conditions. The sample fabricated using the three-step process showed $T_{c}$ of 24 K and formation of superconducting $MgB_2$ phase was confirmed by XRD spectra. In case of co-sputtering deposition, $T_{c}$ depended on annealing time and argon pressure. However, those made by single-target sputtering showed non-superconducting behavior or low transition temperature, at best.est.

Buffer layers such as $CeO_2\;and\;Yb_2O_3$ films for YBCO coated conductors were deposited on (100) $SrTiO_3$ single crystals and (100) textured Ni substrates by a metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system of the hot-wall type. The substrates were moved with the velocity of 40 cm/hr. Source flow rate, $Ar/O_2$ flow rate and deposition temperature were main processing variables. The degree of film epitaxy and surface morphology were investigated using XRD and SEM, respectively. On a STO substrate, the $CeO_2$ film was well grown epitaxially above the deposition temperature of $450^{\circ}C$. However, on a Ni substrate, the XRD showed NiO (111) and (200) peaks due to Ni oxidation as well as (111) and (200) film growth. For the films deposited with $O_2$ gas as oxygen source, it was found that the NiO film was formed at the interface between the buffer layer and the Ni substrate. The NiO layer interrupts the epitaxial growth of the buffer layer. It seems that the epitaxial growth of the buffer layer on Ni metal substrates using $O_2$ gas is difficult. We are considering a new method avoiding Ni oxidation with $H_2O$ vapor instead of $O_2$ gas.

최근에 빠른 쓰기/읽기 속도, 적은 소비 전력과 비휘발성을 가지는 메모리 캐패시터의 유전 재료로서 SrBi/sub 2/Ta/sub 2/O/sub 9/(SBT)에 대한 관심이 집중되고 있다. 강유전체 물질을 이용한 고밀도 FeRAM을 생산하기 위하여서는 식각에 의한 패턴이 형성되어야 한다. 강유전체 물질의 성장과 그 전기적 특성에 관한 연구와 발표는 많이 발표 되고 있다. 그러나, 강유전체 물질의 식각의 어려움 때문에 SBT 박막 식각에 관한 연구는 거의 전무하다고 할 수 있다. 그러므로, SBT 박막의 식각의 특성을 알아보기 위하여, SBT 박막은 CF/sub 4/Ar 가스 플라즈마를 이용하여 MEICP로 식각 되어졌다. XPS를 이용하여 식각 된 SBT 박막의 표면에서의 화학 반응을 분석하였고, XPS 분석을 검증하기 위하여 SIMS 분석을 하여 비교하였다.

Thin film technologies for fabricating SQUIDs involve etching and deposition procedures with the proper substrate materials and $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-d}$ (YBCO) as the high $T_c$ superconductor. YBCO were prepared on various substrates of MgO, $SrTiO_3$, and $LaAlO_3$ by using off-axis magnetron sputtering methods and annealing in-situ. The parameters of film fabrication processes had been optimized to yield good quality films in terms of the critical temperature $T_c$ and the critical current density $J_c$. The optimized processes yielded $T_C$>90K along with $J_c$>$10_6A$$extrm{cm}^2$ at 77K and>$2\times10_7A/Cm^2$ at 5K. We fabricated step-edge type dc-SQUIDs and directly coupled magnetometers, producing step edges on MgO(100) substrates by etching with Ar-ion beam, depositing YBCO material on them, then patterning them by using ion-milling technique. Circuitizing washer-shape SQUIDs to possess a pair of step-edge junctions of 2-5$\mu$ line width with a high angle>$50^{\circ}C$ , we examined their I-V characteristics thoroughly and Shapiro steps clearly as we irradiate microwaves of 8-20 GHz frequency.
