  • Chromium (Cr) films were deposited on plain carbon steel sheets by DC and RF magnetron sputtering as well as by electroplating. Effects of DC or RF sputtering power on the deposition rate and properties such as, hardness, surface roughness and corrosion-resistance of the Cr films were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microcopy (SEM) analyses were performed to investigate the crystal structure, surface roughness, thickness of the Cr films. Salt fog tests were used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the samples. The deposition rate, hardness, and surface roughness of the Cr film deposited by either DC or RF sputtering increase with the increase of sputtering power but the adhesion strength is nearly independent of the sputtering power. The deposition rate, hardness, and adhesion strength of the Cr film deposited by DC sputtering are higher than those of the Cr film deposited by RF sputtering, but RF sputtering offers smoother surface and higher corrosion-resistance. The sputter-deposited Cr film is harder and has a smoother surface than the electroplated one. The sputter-deposited Cr film also has higher corrosion-resistance than the electroplated one, which may be attributed to the smoother surface of the sputter-deposited film.

  • Sb doped SnO2(ATO:Antinomy doped Tin Oxide) thin films were prepared by a DC magnetron spttuering method using oxide target and the deposition characteristics were investigated. The experimental conditions are as follows :Ar flow rate : 100 sccm oxygen flow rates ; 0-100 sccm deposition temperature ; 250 -40$0^{\circ}C$ DC sputter powder ; 150~550 W and sputtering pressure ; ; 2~7 mTorr. Deposition rate greatly depends not on the deposition temperature but on the reaction pressure oxygen flow rate and sputter power,. when the sputter powder is low ATO thin films with (110) preferred orientation are deposited. And when the sputter power is high (110) prefered orientation appeares with decreasing of oxygen flow rate and increasing of suputte-ring pressure.

  • In this paper, we investigated the deposition condition of Bragg reflector formation that will be expected to play an important role in future FBAR device applications. The thin films were deposited using an RF/DC magnetron sputtering technique. The material characteristics such as deposition rates, grain structures and surface roughnesses of the deposited silicon dioxide (SiO$_2$) and tungsten (W) films were investigated for various deposition conditions. As a result, it was found that the deposition condition could significantly affect the material characteristics of the deposited films and also the optimization of the deposition process is essentially important to obtain the desirable Brags reflector structure consisted of high-quality in films.

  • We successfully fabricated OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diodes) with Al cathodes electrode deposited by the DC magnetron sputtering. The effects of a controlled Al cathode layer of an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)/blended single polymer layer (PVK Bu:PBD:dye)/Al light emitting diodes are described. The PVK (Poly(N-vinylcarbazole)) and Bu-PBD (2-(4-biphenyl-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole) are used hole transport polymer and electron transport molecule respectively. We found that both current injection and electroluminescence output are significantly different with a variable DC sputtering power. The difference is believed to be due to the influence near the blended polymer layer/cathode interface that results from the DC power and H$\sub$2//O in a chamber. And DC sputtering deposition is an effective way to fabricate Al electrodes with pronounced orientational characteristics without damage occurring to metal-organic interface during the sputtering deposition.

  • DC magnetron sputtering과 DC pulsed magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 공정 압력별, $O_2$ 분압별, 온도등의 증착조건에 따른 IGZO 박막의 특성을 조사하였다. Working pressure 따른 deposition rate 측정한 결과 동일 파워 적용 시 DC magnetron sputtering 대비하여 DC pulsed magnetron sputtering 은 약 84% 수준에 머물렀으며, IGZO 박막 내에 $O_2$의 분압비가 증가함에 따라 투과도는 단파장 영역에서 장파장 영역으로 갈수록 상승 경향을 보였다. 캐리어 농도와 이동도 등 전기적 특성도 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 온도에 따른 전기적 특성을 비교 해 본 결과 상온과 $150^{\circ}C$ 영역에서는 유의차가 없었으며, DC pulsed magnetron sputtering의 경우 $50^{\circ}C$ 영역에서 변곡점이 형성됨을 알수 있었다.

  • $TiO_2$ thin films were deposited by DC reactive magnetron sputtering with variations in sputtering parameter such as Ar and $O_2$ flow rate, DC power, substrate temperature and magnetic field. Deposition rate, crystal structure, chemical bond of $TiO_2$ films on the deposition conditions were investigated by Alpha-step, X-ray Diffractometer(XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS). When the DC power was applied at 500watt, deposition rate of $TiO_2$ film was about 480A/min. $TiO_2$ films coated under the deposition condition of 15sccm Ar and 7~10sccm $O_2$ flow rate was only observed anatase phase. With increasing substrate temperature from RT to $300^{\circ}C$, crystal orientation of $TiO_2$ films variously became.

  • High temperature superconducting coated conductor has a structure of /< superconducting layer>//. The buffer layer consists of multi layer, and the architecture most widely used in RABiTS approach is CeO$_2$(cap layer)/YSZ(diffusion barrier layer)/CeO$_2$(seed layer). Evaporation technique is used for the CeO$_2$ layer and DC reactive sputtering technique is used for the YSZ layer, A chamber was set up specially for DC reactive sputtering, Detailed features are as following. A separator divided the chamber into two halves a sputtering chamber and a reaction chamber. The argon gas for sputtering target elements flows out of the cap of sputtering gun, and water vapor for reaction with depositing species spouts near the substrate. Turbo pump is connected with reaction chamber. High speed deposition of YSZ film could be achieved in the chamber. Detailed deposition conditions (temperature and partial pressure of reaction gas) were investigated for the rapid growth of high quality YSZ film.

  • Aluminum thin films were deposited on glass substrate using DC Magnetron Sputtering. Deposition rate, specular reflectance, and resistivity were investigated as a function of the input power, pressure, substrate temperature, and deposition time. Reflectance was reduced with increasing power, also with prolonging deposition time. Topography of the surface, which influences the properties such as electromigration, was observed from scanning electron microscope (SEM) and there was a close relation between the topography and measured reflectance.

  • Reactive sputtering is widely used because of its high deposition rate and high step coverage. The deposition layer is often affected by target poisoning because the target conditions are changed, as well, by reactive gases during the initial stage of sputtering process. The reactive gas affects the deposition rate and process stability (target poisoning), and it also leads unintended oxide interlayer formation. Although the target poisoning mechanism has been well known, little attention has been paid on understanding the interlayer formation during the reactive sputtering. In this research, we studied the interlayer formation during the reactive sputtering. A DC magnetron sputtering process is carried out to deposit an aluminum oxide film on a silicon wafer. From the real-time process monitoring and material analysis, the target poisoning phenomena changes the reactive gas balance at the initial stage, and affects the interlayer formation during the reactive sputtering process.

  • Indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited on PET substrate by RF superimposed DC magnetron sputtering using ITO (doped with 10 wt% $SnO_2$) target. Substrate temperature was maintained below $750^{\circ}C$ without intentionally substrate heating during the deposition. The discharge voltage of DC power supply was decreased from 280 V to 100 V when superimposed RF power was increased from 0 W to 150 W. The electrical properties of the ITO films were improved with increasing of superimposed RF power. In the result of cyclic bending test, relatively high mechanical property was obtained for the ITO film deposited with RF power of 75 W under DC current of 0.75 A which could be attributed to the decrease of internal stress caused by decrease in both deposition rate and plasma impedance.
