We have studied the variable conditions of reactive sputtering to prepare AM thin film. The leakage current showed below $10^{-9}A/cm^2$ at the deposition temperature of $250^{\circ}C\;and\;300^{\circ}C$ in the field of 0.1 MV/cm, and it was gradually increased and to be saturated in 0.2 MV/cm. The C-V characteristics of the above mentioned deposition temperature conditions showed a deep depletion phenomenon at inversion region. The C-V characteristics showed similarly under the DC power conditions of 100 and 150 W but were degraded at 200W. When the DC power was 100, 200, and 300 W the dielectric breakdown phenomenon was shown in 2.8, 3.2 and 5.2 MV/cm, respectively. It was found that AIN film was dominated by Poole-Frenkel conduction mechanism.

Indium nitride thin films were deposited on Si(100) substrates by reactive sputtering method. The metallic indium target was sputtered by nitrogen gas with rf sputtering equipment. The surface morphology and cross-section of the InN thin films were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The crystal orientations were investigated by X-ray diffraction and the Hall effect were measured with van der Pauw method. The indium nitride thin film showed high Hall mobility(215$\textrm{cm}^2$/V-sec) at 5mTorr total pressure and rf power 60W.

We Have investigated the properties of the titanium nitrite films widely used in VLSI devices as diffusion barrier in Al-based metallization. TiN films were formed by reactive sputtering from Ti target in Ar-N$_2$ mixtures, varying deposition parameters such as N$_2$ partial pressure, substrate temperature, power, and total pressure. All the samples received the heat treatment at 45$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The resulting films are characterized by mechanical stylus($\alpha$-step), x-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and four point probe method. The Tin film properties strongly depend on the deposition condition. The stoichiometry and Ti deposition rate are critically affected by nitrogen partial pressure, and the resistivity, in particular, is dependent on both the substrate temperature and sputtering power.

Reactively magnetron sputtered TiN films were deposited on Si wafers under varying bias voltage and characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy and Nanoindentation. The films deposited under an Ar + $N_2$ atmosphere exhibited a mixed (200)-(111) orientation with a strong (200) texture, which subsequently changed to a strong (111) texture with increasing bias voltage. The changes in texture and grain size of the TiN thin films are due to one or a combination of factors such as strain energy, surface free energy, surface diffusivity and adatom mobility. The influence of each factor depends on the processing conditions. The average deposition rate and grain size were calculated from FE-SEM images of the films indicating that the deposition rate was lower at the films deposited under bias voltage.

The deposition condition Gf TiN films as electrode was studied by sheet resistance, TiN depositon Thickness X-ray diffraction. TiN was made by reactively DC magnetron sputtering with varying $N_2$/Ar mixture gas and substrate temperature. After finding The deposition condition of TiN films, The samples with the structure of Cu/Ta$_2$O$_{5}$, TiN/Ta$_2$O$_{5}$Si, Cu/TiN/Ta$_2$O$_{5}$ Si were prepared and were measured I-V, C-V. As a results, it was found that when TiN was deposited in an $N_2$a results, it was found that when TiN was deposited in an $N_2$atmosphere its Sheet resistance is lower n than n V$_2$Ar mixtureixture

In this study, we investigated the effects of shutter control by Reactive Magnetron Sputtering using Inductively-Coupled Plasma(ICP) for obtaining ZnO thin films with high purity. The surface morphologies and structure of deposited ZnO thin films were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and X-ray Diffractometer (XRD). Also, optical and chemical properties of ZnO thin films were analyzed by Spectroscopic Ellipsometer (SE) and X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). As a result, it observed that ZnO thin films grown at reactive sputtering using shutter control and ICP were higher density, lower surface roughness, better crystallinity than other conventional sputtering deposition methods. For obtaining better quality deposition ZnO thin films, we will investigate the effects of substrate temperature and RF power on shutter control by a reactive magnetron sputtering using inductively-coupled plasma.

Nanocrystalline TiN films were deposited on Si(100) substrate using asymmetric pulsed DC reactive magnetron sputtering. We investigated the growing behavior and the structural properties of TiN films with change of duty cycle and pulsed frequency. Grain size of TiN films were decreased from 87.2 nm to 9.8 nm with decrease of duty cycle. The $2{\theta}$ values for (111) and (200) crystallographic planes of the TiN films were also decreased with decrease of duty cycle. This shift in $2{\theta}$ could be attributed to compressive stress in the TiN coatings. Thus, the change of plasma parameter has a strong influence not only on the microstructure but also on the residual stresses of TiN films.

Hard coatings of TiN which exhibit a large variation in their electrical resistivities, have been prepared in magnetron sputtering system using bipolar pulsed DC generator. TiN coatings have also been prepared using a DC generator in the same sputtering system under identical deposition conditions. Microstructural, Mechanical, Crystallographic properties of TiN films using continuous and bipolar pulsed DC generators were examined. Field emission scanning microscope and Nanoindenter have been used to characterize the coatings.

The III-V nitride semiconductor InN thin films which have the direct bandgap in visible light wavelength region have been deposited on Si(100) substrates and AIN/Si(100) substrates by rf reactive sputtering. InN thin films have been investigated on the structural, and electrical properties according to the sputtering parameters such as total pressure, rf power, and substrate temperature. It is found that optimal conditions required for fabricating InN thin films with high crystal Quality, low carrier concentration, high Hall mobility are total pressure 5mTorr, rf power 60W, substrate temperature 6$0^{\circ}C$ . InN thin films deposited on the AIN(60min.)/Si(100) substrates arid AIN(120min.)/Si(100) substrates showed remarkably high crystal quality and electrical properties. It is known that AIN buffer layer is to decrease free energy at interface between InN film and Si substrate, and then promoting lateral growth of InN films.
