The crystallization of FePt/MgO(100) magnetic thin films of various thicknesses has been studied using synchrotron x-ray scattering, atomic force microscope, and vibrating sample magnetometer. In film with a 500-${\AA}$-thick, ordered (fct) FePt phase was dominantly crystallized into perpendicular (001) grains keeping the magnetically easy c-axis normal to the film plane during annealing. In film with a 812-${\AA}$-thick, however, longitudinal (110) grains keeping the c-axis parallel to the film plane were grown on top of the perpendicular (001) grains. The behavior of the magnetic properties was consistent with the thickness dependence of the crystallization. We attribute the thickness dependence of the crystallization to the substrate effect, which prefers the growth of the c-axis oriented perpendicular grains near the film/substrate interfacial area.

Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CuOx(Bi-2201) thin films were fabricated by atomic layer-by-layer deposition using an ion bean sputtering method. 10 wt% and 90 wt% ozone mired with oxygen were used with ultraviolet light irradiation to assist oxidation. XRD and RHEED investigations revealed that a buffer layer is formed at the early stage of deposition (less than 10 unit cell), and then c-axis oriented Bi-2201 grows on top of it.

Zn-나프텐산염을 출발 원료로 사용하고 스핀코팅 - 열분해법을 이용하여 실리카 유리 위에 c축으로 배향된 나노 결정질 ZnO 박막을 제조하였다. X-선 회절 분석을 행한 결과, 모든 시편에서 ZnO (002) 피크만이 관찰되었으며, 박막의 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 (002) 피크 강도가 증가하였다. 박막의 표면 미세 구조는 매우 균질하였으며, 입자들 간의 응집은 관찰되지 않았다. 박막의 topology를 주사형 탐침 현미경으로 분석한 결과에 따르면, 실리카 기판 자체의 불균질한 표면 특성과 ZnO 입자의 c축 배향 특성에 의한 것으로 보이는 3차원적인 입자성장이 모든 열처리 온도 영역에 대해 박막의 표면에서 관찰되었다. 고배향된 박막들 중에서 $800^{\circ}C$로 열처리한 박막의 표면이 가장 균질한 특성을 나타내었다. 박막의 가시영역에서의 투과율은 $1000^{\circ}C$로 열처리한 박막을 제외하고 모든 박막에 있어서 80% 이상의 투과율을 나타냈으며, 380~400nm 영역에서 날카로운 absorption edge가 나타났다. 흡수피크를 이용하여 계산된 오든 박막의 에너지 밴드 캡은 ZnO 단결정 및 다른 연구자들에 의해 보고된 박막과 같은 영역에 존재하였다. 본 연구에서 제조된 ZnO 박막들 중에 치밀한 입자 성장과 균질한 표면 특성을 보이는 $600^{\circ}C{\sim}800^{\circ}C$로 열처리된 박막은 UV차단성 투명전도막 및 렌즈 등의 광학소자에 실질적인 응용이 기대 된다.

Hexagonal barium-ferrite ($BaFe_{12}O_{19}$, magnetoplumbite structure; BaM) film with perpendicularly c-axis orientation was successfully deposited on (100) silicon substrates with an MgO (111) underlayer by rf diode sputtering and in-situ heating at $920^{\circ}C$. The magnetic and structural properties of 0.27 ${\mu}m$ thick BaM films on MgO (111) underlayers were compared to films of the same thickness deposited onto single-crystal MgO (111) and c-plane ($000{\ell}$) sapphire ($Al_2O_3$) substrates by vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), x-ray diffractometer (XRD), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The thickness dependence of MgO (111) underlayers on silicon wafer was found to have a large effect on both magnetic and structural properties of the BaM film. The thickness of 15 nm MgO (111) underlayers produced BaM films with almost identical magnetic and structural properties as the single-crystal substrates; this can be explained by the lower surface roughness for thinner underlayer thicknesses. The magnetization saturation ($M_s$) and the ratio $H_{cII}/H_{c{\bot}}$ for the BaM film with a 15 nm MgO (111) underlayer is 217 emu/cc and 0.24, respectively. This is similar to the results for the BaM films deposited on the single-crystal MgO (111) and sapphire substrates of 197 emu/cc and 0.10, 200 emu/cc and 0.12, respectively. Therefore, the proposed MgO (111) underlayer can be used in many applications to promote c-axis orientation without the cost of expensive substrates.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films have been deposited on Au electrodes by using reactive RF magnetron sputtering method in a gas mixture of Ar and $N_2$ at different substrate temperature. It was found that substrate temperature was varied in the range up to $400^{\circ}C$, highly c-axis oriented film can be obtained at $300^{\circ}C$ with full width at half maximum (FWHM) $3.1^{\circ}$. Increase in surface roughness from 3.8 nm to 5.9 nm found to be associated with increase in grain size, with substrate temperature; however, the AlN film fabricated at $400^{\circ}C$ exhibited a granular type of structure with non-uniform grains. The Al 2p and N 1s peak in the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectrum confirmed the formation of Al-N bonds. The XPS spectrum also indicated the presence of oxynitrides and oxides, resulting from the presence of residual oxygen in the vacuum chamber. It is concluded that the AlN film deposited at substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ exhibited the most desirable properties for the application of high-frequency surface acoustic devices.

ZnO thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on amorphous fused silica substrates at different ambient $O_2$ pressures varying from 0.5 to 500 mTorr, to observe the effect of ambient gas on their crystalline structure, morphology and optical properties. Results of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and photoluminescence studies showed that crystallinity, surface features and optical properties of the films significantly depended on the oxygen background pressure during growth. A low oxygen pressure (0.5 mTorr) seems to be suitable for the growth of highly c-axis oriented and smoother films possessing a superior luminescent property. The films grown at the higher $O_2$ pressures (50-500 mTorr) were found to have many defects probably due to an excessive incorporation of oxygen into ZnO lattice. We speculate that the film crystallinity could be affected by the kinetics of atomic arrangement during deposition at the higher oxygen pressures.

Silicon carbide(SiC)는 뛰어난 전기적, 열적, 물리적 특성 때문에 내환경 전자소자용 반도체 재료로 널리 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 화학기상증착법으로 단결정 6H-SiC 동종박막을 성장시키고 이의 성장 특성을 조사하였다. 특히, 몰리브덴 (Mo)-plate를 이용하여 SiC를 코팅하지 않은 graphite susceptor를 사용한 6H-SiC 동종박막 성장조건을 성공적으로 얻었다. 대기압 상태의 RF-유도가열식 챔버에서 CVD성장을 수행하였고, <1120> 방향으로 $3.5^{\circ}$off-axis된 기판을 사용하였다. 성장 박막의 결정성을 평가하기 위하여 Nomarski 관찰, 투과율 측정 , 라만 분광, XRD, 광발광(PL) 분광, 투과전자현미경(TEM) 측 정 등의 방법을 이용하였다. 이상과 같은 실험을 통하여, 본 연구에서는 성장온도 $1500^{\circ}C$, C/Si flow ratio ($C_3H_8$ 0.2 sccm, $SiH_4$ 0.3 sccm)인 성장조건에서 결정성이 가장 좋은 6H-SiC 동종박막을 얻을 수 있었다.

B-doped ZnO thin films on glass substrates were prepared by sputtering the ceramic targets which had been prepared by sintering disks consisting of ZnO and various amounts of B2O3 While pure ZnO films show-ed a c-axis oriented growth the B-doping retarded the prefered orientation and grain growth of the film. Electron concentrations for undoped and B-doped ZnO films were on the order of 7.8${\times}$1018 cm-3 and 5${\times}${{{{ {10 }^{20 } }} c{{{{ {m }^{-3 } }} respectively. The electron mobility however decreased with the B-doping concentration. Optical meas-urements on the films showed that the average transmittance in the visible range was higher than 85% The measurements also indicated a blueshift of the absorption edge with doping.

ZnO thin films were grown with different plume-substrate angles by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to control the amount of ablated species arriving on a substrate per laser shot. The angles between plume propagation direction and substrate plane (P-S angle) were 0$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$. The growth time was changed in order to adjust film thickness. From the XRD pattern exhibiting a dominant (002) and a minor (101) XRD peak of ZnO, all films were found to be well oriented along c-axis. From the AFM image, it was found that the grain size of ZnO thin film was increased, as P-S angle decreased. UV intensity investigated by PL (Photoluminescence) increased as P-S angle decreased.
