AlN thin films containing various amounts of Co, AlN-Co, and Al-Co alloy particles were prepared using a two-facing-target type dc reactive sputtering (TFTS) system. The as-deposited films exhibited the variable nature expected from an AlN-rich phase, and an amorphous-like phase, depending on the Co content in the films. Specific favorable microstructures were prepared by optimizing annealing conditions. Those microstructures and their magnetic properties and resistivity were investigated. As-deposited films showed very small saturation magnetization and an amorphous-like structure. However, when annealed, the as-deposited amorphous-like phase decomposes into phases of AlN, Co and Al-Co. These annealing induced changes in the microstructure improve the magnetization and resistivity of the films. Further improvement of soft magnetic properties could lead to the material being used for high density magnetic recording head material.

This paper describes the fabrication of AlN thin films containing iron and iron nitride particles, and the magnetic and electrical properties of such films. Fe-N-Al alloy films were deposited in Ar and $N_2$ mixtures at ambient temperature using Fe/Al composite targets in a two-facing-target DC sputtering system. X-ray diffraction results showed that the Fe-N-Al films were amorphous, and after annealing for 5 h both AlN and bcc-Fe/bct-$FeN_x$ phases appeared. Structure changes in the $FeN_x$ phases were explained in terms of occupied nitrogen atoms. Electron diffraction and transmission electron microscopy observations revealed that iron and iron nitride particles were randomly dispersed in annealed AlN films. The grain size of magnetic particles ranged from 5 to 20 nm in diameter depending on annealing conditions. The saturation magnetization as a function of the annealing time for the $Fe_{55}N_{20}Al_{25}$ films when annealed at 573, 773 and 873 K. At these temperatures, the amount of iron/iron nitride particles increased with increasing annealing time. An increase in the saturation magnetization is explained qualitatively in terms of the amount of such magnetic particles in the film. The resistivity increased monotonously with decreasing Fe content, being consistent with randomly dispersed iron/iron nitride particles in the AlN film. The coercive force was evaluated to be larger than $6.4{\times}10^3Am^{-1}$ (80 Oe). This large value is ascribed to a residual stress restrained in the ferromagnetic particles, which is considered to be related to the present preparation process.

The optimal high temperature processing conditions for the formation of Ohmic contact of Ti/Al/Pt/Au multiple layers were established for the fabrication of n$^{+}$-GaN/AlGaN/GaN HFET device. Contact resistivity as low as 3.4x10$^{-6}$ ohm-$\textrm{cm}^2$ was achieved by the annealing of the sample at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 sec. using the RTA (Rapid Thermal Annealing) system. The fabricated HFET (Heterostructure Field Effect Transistor) with a structure of n'-GaN/undoped AlGaN/undoped GaN exhibited a low knee voltage of 3.5 V and a maximum source-drain current density of 180 mA/mm at Vg=0V.V.

Nanocrystalline TiAlN coatings were prepared by reactively sputtering TiAl metal target with $N_2$ gas. This was done using a magnetron sputtering system operated in DC and ICP (inductively coupled plasma) conditions at various power levels. The effect of ICP power (from 0 to 300 W) on the coating microstructure, corrosion and mechanical properties were systematically investigated using FE-SEM, AFM and nanoindentation. The results show that ICP power has a significant influence on coating microstructure and mechanical properties of TiAlN coatings. With increasing ICP power, the coating microstructure evolved from the columnar structure typical of DC sputtering processes to a highly dense one. Average grain size of TiAlN coatings decreased from 15.6 to 5.9 nm with increasing ICP power. The maximum nano-hardness (67.9 GPa) was obtained for the coatings deposited at 300 W of ICP power. The smoothest surface morphology (Ra roughness 5.1 nm) was obtained for the TiAlN coating sputtered at 300 W ICP power.

일반적인 산화 절연 게이트 대신 $BaTa_2O_6$를 사용한 GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) 구조를 제작하였다. $Al_2O_3$(0001) 기판 위에서와 GaAs(001) 기판 위에서의 GaN 막의 누설 전류는 각각 $10^{-12}-10^{-13}A/cm^2$와 $10^{-6}-10^{-7}A/cm^2$로 측정되었다. 이 막의 누설전류는 각각 $Al_2O_3$(0001) 기판 위의 GaN인 경우는 45 MV/cm가 넘는 공간전하 제한전류에 의하여, GaAs(001) 기판 위의 GaN인 경우는 Poole-Frenkel 방출에 따른다는 것을 확인하였다.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) thin film and TiN film as a buffer layer were deposited on INCONEL 600 substrate by reactive RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature(R.T.) under 25~75% $N_2/Ar$ atmosphere. The as-deposited AlN films at 25~50% $N_2/Ar$ showed a polycrystalline phase of hexagonal AlN, and an amorphous phase. The peak of AlN (002) plane, which was determinant on a performance of piezoelectric transducer, became strong with increasing the $N_2/Ar$ ratio. Any change in the preferential orientation of the as-deposited AlN films was not observed within our $N_2$ concentration range. The piezoelectric sensing properties of AlN module were performed using pressure-voltage measurement system. The output signal voltage of AlN module showed a linear behavior between 20~80 mV in 1~10 MPa range, and the pressure-sensing sensitivity was calculated as 3.6 mV/MPa.

After sintering Si3N4 containing 20wt% of variable composition ratio of Y2O3 and Al2O3 at 1$600^{\circ}C$, the specimens were annealed at 125$0^{\circ}C$ and 135$0^{\circ}C$ for 5, 10, 15 hours in order to crystallize the remanining oxynitride glass phases. The main grain-boundary crystalline phases in the Si3N4-Y2O3-Al2O3 system were melilite and YAG. By annealing 15hrs. at 125$0^{\circ}C$, almost all of the glasses were crystallized. During the growth of melilite, lattice volyume of $\beta$-Si3N4 was increased as Al3+ and O2- ions in the oxynitride glass diffuse into $\beta$-Si3N4 lattice, but during the growth of YAG, lattice volume of $\beta$-Si3N4 was decreased by reverse diffusion of Al3+ and O2- ions. In case of crystallization of glass phase to melilite, thermal expansion of sample was decreased, but in case of crystallization to YAG, inverse phenomen on was observed.

Methane의 부분산화에 의하여 일산화탄소를 발생시키고 이를 이용하여 온실가스로 알려져 있는 $N_2O$를 분해시키기 위한 이중 촉매 반응시스템의 반응 특성을 살펴보았다. 일산화탄소를 발생시키기 위한 제1 반응기의 조건은 Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) 촉매를 사용할 때 $500^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 methane과 산소의 비율이 5:1이고 GHSV $8,000h^{-1}$ 일때 가장 적합하였다. 제1 반응기에서 methane을 부분산화시켜 얻은 혼합 가스를 사용하는 이중 반응시스템에서 제2 반응기에 촉매로 Co-Rh-Al(1/0.2/1)과 Co-Rh-Zr-Al(1/0.2/0.3/1)을 사용한 경우 Co-Rh-Al(1/0.2/1) 촉매를 사용한 single bed system 보다 $250^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온에서 우수한 분해성능을 나타내었다. 두 경우 모두 $250^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 $N_2O$가 100% 분해되었다. 또한, 제2 반응기에서 $N_2O$ 분해성능은 NO의 존재 유무에 관계없이 산소의 농도가 증가할수록 감소함을 보여주었다. 다만 NO가 존재할 경우 산소의 농도가 10,000 ppm 이하일 때 100% 분해율을 보이며 그 이상일 경우 급격히 감소하였다.

혼합소스 HVPE(hydride vapor phase epitaxy) 방법으로 InGaN/AlGaN의 이종접합구조(heterostructure)의 LED (light emitting diode)를 선택성장(SAG : selective area growth)하였다. InGaN/AlGaN 이종접합구조를 혼합소스 HVPE로 연속 성장하기 위하여 새로운 디자인의 multi-sliding boat를 도입하였다. SAG-InGaN/AlGaN LED의 상온 EL(electroluminescence) 특성은 주입전류가 20mA일 때 중심파장은 425nm였다. Multi-sliding boat를 이용한 혼합소스 HVPE 방법이 질화물 반도체 LED를 성장하는 유용한 방법이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
