Room temperature ferromagnetism of Co doped ZnO was studied using (ZnO/Co) multilayer structure, and the effects of ZnO sub-layer thickness on the RT ferromagnetism was investigated. As for the as-deposited state, the diamagnetism was observed for ($ZnO\;20{\AA}/Co\;x{\AA}$) while the ferromagnetism was observed for ($ZnO\;40{\AA}/Co\;x{\AA}$). After vacuum-annealed, both showed the RT ferromagnetism and ($ZnO\;40{\AA}/Co\;x{\AA}$) structure interestingly showed negative remanence magnetization behavior. UV-Vis spectrometer revealed that Co atoms were substituted with Zn in ZnO and Co cluster was not found in XPS and HRTEM EDS analysis.

Platinum-Cobalt alloy thin films were deposited on $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrate by magnetron cosputtering for RTD temperature sensors. We made Pt-Co alloy resistance patterns on the $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrate by lift-off method and investigated the physical and electrical characteristics of these films under various conditions, the input power, working vacuum, annealing temperature and time, and also after annealing these films. The resistivity and sheet resistivity of these films were decreased with increasing the annealing temperature. At input power of Pt : $4.4\;W/cm^{2}$, Co : $6.91\;W/cm^{2}$, working vacuum of 10 mTorr and annealing conditions of $800^{\circ}C$ and 60 min, the resistivity and sheet resistivity of Pt-Co thin films was $15{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and $0.5{\Omega}/{\square}$, respectively and the TCR value of Pt-Co alloy thin films with thickness of $3000{\AA}$ were $3740ppm/^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range of $25{\sim}600^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that Pt-Co alloy thin films have potentiality for the RTD temperature sensors.

Amorphous alloys of Co-rich magnetic amorphous films are well known as thpical soft magnetic alloys. They are used for many kinds of electric and electronic parts such as magnetic recording heads, transformers and inductors. CoFeHfO thin films were prepared by RF magnetron reactive sputtering. The films were deposited onto Si(100) substrates with a power of 300 W at room temperature. The reactive gas was introduced up to 10% ($O_2$/(Ar + $O_2$)) during deposition, and the $Co_{39}Fe_{34}Hf_{9.5}O_{17.5}$ thin film exhibit excellent soft magnetic properties : saturation magnetization ($4{\pi}M_s$) of 19kG, magnetic coercivity ($H_c$) of 0.37 Oe, anisotropy field ($H_k$) of 48.62 Oe, and an electrical property is also shown to be as high as 300 ${\mu}{\Omega}cm$. It is assumed that the good soft magnetic properties of $Co_{39}Fe_{34}Hf_{9.5}O_{17.5}$ thin film results from high electrical resistivity and large anisotropy field.

The magnetostriction and stress of multilayer $NiFeCr/(Cu/Co_{90}Fe_{10}){\times}N/NiFeCr$ films were investigated. As the number of Cu $15{\AA}$/CoFe $15{\AA}$ bilayers was increased, the saturation magnetostriction decreased from $-5.6\times10^{-6}$ at 2 bilayers to $-8.5\times10^{-6}$ at 20 bilayers. A change of CoFe thickness from 10 to $20{\AA}$ caused a decrease in the magnitude of tensile stress from 980MPa to 590MPa as the number of Cu $15{\AA}$/CoFe $15{\AA}$ bilayers increased from 2 to 20. The maximum magnetostrictive anisotropy field that could be developed due to nonzero magnetostriction and stress is calculated to be 135.7 Oe when the number of Cu $15{\AA}$/CoFe $15{\AA}$ bilayers is 10.

A plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition(PEALD) system has been constructed adopting an inductively coupled plasma(ICP) source with an ALD system, and its plasma generation was carried out. Cobalt thin films were deposited on a p-type Si(100) wafer at $230^{\circ}C$. $Co_{2}(CO)_{6}$ was used as a cobalt precursor, $NH_{3}$ as a reactant, and Ar as a carrier and purge gas. The properties of the thin films were investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) and auger electron spectroscopy(AES). Large amounts of impurities were found in both the ALD film and the PEALD film, however, the amount of impurities in the PEALD film was reduced to about 50 % compared to that in the ALD film. It was found that $NH_{3}$ plasma, very effectively, induces the reaction with carbon in a cobalt precursor.

$Pt-SnO_{2-x}$ thin film sensing devices has been fabricated by thermal oxidation of stacked Pt-Sn thin film on the heater. The thickness of Sn thin film deposited by thermal evaporation was $4000{\AA}$ and the thickness of Pt deposited by D. C. sputtering on Sn thin film was $14{\sim}71{\AA}$ range. The XRD analysis show that the $Pt-SnO_{2-x}$ thin films are formed by grains with a diameter of about $200{\AA}$ randomly connected and the crystalline phase of the thin films are preferentally oriented in the (110) direction. $Pt-SnO_{2-x}$ thin film device (Pt thickness : $43{\AA}$) to 6000 ppm CO shows the sensitivity of 80% and high selectivity to CO. And the operating temperature and the thermal oxidation temperature of $Pt-SnO_{2-x}$ thin film device with high sensitivity to CO were $200^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$, respectively.

(Bi$_2$O$_2$)$^{2+}$층 사이에 두 개의 Ta-O 팔면체로 연결된 Bi 계의 층상 페로브스카이트 구조인 SrBi$_2$Ta$_2$O$_{9}$ (SBT) 박막을 XPS를 이용하여 깊이별 화학 상태 변화를 분석하였다. 아르곤 이온으로 SBT 박막을 식각하면, SBT 박막의 각 구성물들은 가속 Ar$^{+}$ 이온의 에너지에 따라 변화한다. SBT 각 구성물 중 Sr 3d의 화학 상태는 Ar$^{+}$ 이온의 에너지변화에 따라 근소하게 변화한다. 반면에, Ta 4f와 Bi 4f의 화학 상태 변화는 인가되는 Ar$^{+}$ 이온 에너지에 확실하게 의존한다. 특히, Bi 4f는 Sr과 Ta에 비해 낮은 Ar$^{+}$ 이온 에너지에서도 Bi-O의 화학 상태가 금속 Bi 화학 상태로 현저하게 변화한다. 이러한 SBT 박막의 화학 상태 변화는 산호 원자의 선택적인 식각 때문에 발생하며 선택적인 식각은 SBT 박막 내에서 각 구성물과 산소간의 질량 차이와 각 구성물의 열적 안정성에 의존함을 알 수 있다.

To simulate the characteristics of magnetic exchange coupling at the interface of MR/TbCo thin films, the directions of magnetizations were calculated by minimizing energy in the films. Newton method and Gauss-Seidel method were used. The width of M-H curve increased with TbCo anisotropy constant, and with the thickness of the transition region of TbCo layer. Hysteresis loop width became extremely narrow (less than 10 Oe of coercivity), when the TbCo transition region length was $400\;\AA$. Also the hysteresis loop of films with low interfacial exchange coupling constant was similiar to that of short transition region length. When interfacial exchange coupling constant was 1/100 of perfect coupling, hysteresis loop showed a coercivity of less than 10 Oe. Comparing the measured hysteresis loop of a fabricated sample with that of simulated one, exchange coupling con¬stant could be estimated.
