YIG 에피택시박막은 다른 강자성, 페리자성재료에 비해 수 GHz의 영역에서 매우 우수한 특성을 나타내고 있다. YIG 에피택시 박막은 고상에피택시 방법으로 제조할 경우 매우 편리하게 제조할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있는데, 이 방법은 상온에서 Y-Fe-O 박막을 GGG(111)기판에 스파터한 뒤 공기 중에서 열처리하면 간편하게 얻을 수 있다. 이 방법은 통상과 같이 고온에서 아주 느린 속도로 에피택시박막을 성장시키는 스파터방법에 비해 매우 간편하고 경제적인 것으로, 본 연구에서는 보통의 분말소결공정으로 제작된 2.5인치 YIG 타겟을 사용하여 두께 2.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 비정질 Fe-Y-O 박막을 만든 뒤 550 - 1050 $^{\circ}C$의 공기 중에서 열처리하였다. 비정질 박막을 $600^{\circ}C$이하에서 10 시간동안 열처리하였을 경우 매우 약한 YIG상의 회절선만 관찰할 수 있었다. 반면에 온도를 $650^{\circ}C$로 올리면 매우 강한 (444) 또는 (888)회절선과 매우 약한 다른 회절선을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 이 시편의 경우 (888)회절선의 강도는 GGG기판의 (888)회절선의 강도와 비교할 정도로 매우 강하여 에피택시성장이 매우 잘 이루어질 수 있다는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 YIG(888) 회절선의 록킹곡선의 반가폭이 0.14$^{\circ}$ 이었고, 이것은 에피택시성장이 매우 잘 이루어지고 있음을 의미하는 것이다. 열처리 온도가 감소함에 따라 YIG박막의 격자상수는 감소하였으며 YIG(888)회절선의 강도는 그림 1과 같이 넓어지고 그 강도는 약해진다.

Magnetic properties of YIG films grown by solid phase epitaxy (SPE) was measured as a function of temperature with focus on magneto-crystalline and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was not induced in the SPE YIG films annealed at low temperature by relaxing residual stress through formation of dislocation. On the contrary the films annealed at high temperature showed perpendicular magnetic anisotropy which shows very low density of dislocation. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy field decreased linearly up to a high temperature of $230^{\circ}C$ above which magneto-crystalline anisotropy disappeared. Coercivity also decreased linearly with temperature up 세 $230^{\circ}C$. Magneto-crystalline anisotropy of perpendicular anisotropy induced epitaxial (111) YIG films can be measured using $H_k=4K_1/3M_s$. Temperature behavior of initial susceptibility can be successfully explained by Hopkinson effects. Curie temperature of YIG films grown on GGG substrate with high paramagnetic susceptibility can be easily measured using the results.

Effects of annealing temperature on the crystalline and magnetic properties of YIG films grown by solid phase epitaxy. The eptiaxy films were made by annealing Fe-Y-O amorphous films in the air at 550-1050 $^{\circ}C$ which were sputtered on GGG (111) substrates in a conventional rf sputtering system. Crystallization temperature of Fe-Y-O amorphous films on GGG (111) substrate was between 600 and 650 $^{\circ}C$ which is much lower than that Fe-Y-O powder prepared by sol-gel method. Excellent epitaxial growth of YIG films could be conformed by the facts that the diffraction intensity of YIG (888) plane was comparable with that of GGG (888) plane and full width at half maximum of YIG (888) rocking curve was smaller than 0.14$^{\circ}$ when films were annealed at 1050 $^{\circ}C$. It could be seen that it is necessary to anneal the films at higher temperature for an excellent epitaxy because lattice parameter of YIG films were smaller and the peak of YIG (888) plane is higher and narrower with increasing annealing temperature. Films annealed at higher temperature shows M-H loop with perpendicular anisotropy which was due to 0.15％ lattice mismatch between YIG and GGG.

Epitaxial ultrathin films of $CoSi_2$ and double heteroepitaxial structure of Si/$CoSi_2$/Si(lll) were prepared on Si(111)-$7\times{7}$ substrate by in situ solid-phase epitaxy in a ultrahigh vacuum(LHV). The phase, chemical composition, crystallinity, and the microsructure of the Si/$CoSi_2$/Si(lll) interface were investigated by 2-MeV $^4He^{++}$ ion backscattering spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The growth mode of the Co film was the Stransky-Krastanov type with texture when the substrate temperature was room temperature. A-type $CoSi_2$ ultrathin film was grown by deposition of about 50A Co on Si(ll1)-$7\times{7}$ substrate followed by in situ annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The matching face relationships were $CoSi_2$[110]//Si[110] and $CoSi_2$(002)//Si(002) with no misorientation angle. The A-type $CoSi_2$/Si(lll) interface was abrupt and coherent. The best epi-Si/epi-$CoSi_2$2(A-type)/Si(lll) structure was obtained by deposition of Si film on the CoSii at $500^{\circ}C$ followed by in situ annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 10 min in UHV.
