Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films were deposited on the plastic substrate by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) assisted DC magnetron sputtering. The AZO films were produced by sputtering a metallic target (Zn/Al) in a mixture of argon and oxygen gases. AZO films with an electrical resistivity of ${\sim}10^3\;{\Omega}cm$ and an optical transmittance of 80% were obtained even at a low deposition temperature. In-situ process control methods were used to obtain stable deposition conditions in the transition region without any hysteresis effect. The target voltage was controlled either at a constant DC power. It was found that the ratio of the zinc to oxygen emission intensity, I (O 777)/I (Zn 481) decreased with increasing the target voltage in the transition region. The $Ar/O_2$ plasma treatment improve the adhesion strength between the polycarbonate substrate and AZO films.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) is widely used to make a transparent conducting film for various display devices and opto-electric devices. In this study, ITO films on glass substrate were fabricated by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) assisted dc magnetron sputtering. A two-turn rf coil was inserted in the process chamber between the substrate and magnetron for the generation of ICP. The substrates were not heated intentionally. Subsequent post-annealing treatment for as-deposited ITO films was not performed. Low-temperature deposition technique is required for ITO films to be used with heat sensitive plastic substrates, such as the polycarbonate and acrylic substrates used in LCD devices. The surface roughness of the ITO films is also an important feature in the application of OLEDs along with the use of a low temperature deposition technique. In order to obtain optimum ITO thin film properties at low temperature, the depositions were carried out at different condition in changing of Ar and $O_2$ gas mixtures, ICP power. The electrical, optical and structural properties of the deposited films were characterized by four-point probe, UV/VIS spectrophotometer, atomic force microscopy(AFM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrical resistivity of the films was -l0$^{-4}$ $\Omega$cm and the optical transmittance in the visible range was ＞85%. The surface roughness ( $R_{rms}$) was -20$\AA$.>.

We prepared $C_3N_4$ films by rf plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PCVD) and alternating $C_3N_4$/TiN composite films by dc magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron diffraction (TED) revealed that the structure of the films is amorphous or polycrystalline, depending on deposition conditions and heat treatment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the presence of $sp_3\; and sp _2$ hybridized C atoms bonded with N atoms in the tetrahedral and hexagonal configurations, respectively. Graphite-free $C_3N_4$ films were obtained by PCVD under optimal conditions. To prepare well crystallized $C_3N_4$ films by magnetron sputtering, we introduced negatively biased gratings in the sputtering system. CN films deposited at grating voltages (Vg) lower than 400V are amorphous. Crystallites of cubic and $\beta$-$C_3N_4$ were formed at increased voltages.

PVD방식에 의한 TiN박막의 형성은 DC와 RF sputtering deposition 방식을 적용할 수 있지만, 플라즈마 생성을 위해 주입된 가스의 이온화율이 떨어져 박막성형 속도가 느려지며, 박막과의 접착력을 높이는 것에도 한계성을 가지고 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해 증착과 동시에 이온빔을 조사하는 이온빔 진공증착 IBAD(Ion beam assisted deposition)를 이용 하게 되면, 코팅 전에 소재 표면을 Ion beam으로 조사하기 때문에 표면cleaning의 효과가 크고, 접착력이 높은 박막을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 고 진공과 낮은 온도에서도 균일한 두께의 고순도의 박막을 얻을 수 있는 이점이 있다.

본 연구에서는 DC magnetron sputtering 장비를 이용하여, GdFe, Co, CoCr 박막을 제작함에 있어서 sputtering 조건에 관계되는 Ar 압력, 투입전력, 기판의 종류 등의 요소가 박막의 특성, 특히 보자력과 미세구조에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. GdFe의 경우 성막속도가 증가함에 따라 Gd의 atomic%가 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있었으며, Ar압력이 증가함에 따라 성막속도는 감소하였고, 투입전력이 증가함에 따라 성막속도는 거의 선형적으로 증가함을 알 수 있다. 또한 투입전력이 증가함에 따라 박막의 보자력도 증가함을 알 수 있었다. Co 박막에 대해서는 투입전력과 Ar 압력에 관한 성막속도와 미세구조에 관하여 관찰하였다. 이로써 투입전력이 증가하면 성막속도가 증가하며 결정립의 크기가 감소함을 알 수 있었고, Ar 압력이 증가하면 성막속도가 감소함을 알 수 있었다. CoCr의 박막에서는 substrate 종류에 따라 보자력 및 미세구조에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구를 행하였으며, substrate의 종류가 미세구조와 보자력에 상당한 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

HiPIMS(High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering)를 이용하여 탄소 박막을 증착하였다. 파워, 압력, 바이어스 전압, duty cycle에 따른 탄소 박막의 특성과 미세조직을 조사하였다. HiPIMS 파워가 증가할수록 증착 두께는 증가하였으며 표면이 거칠어지는 경향을 보였다. 압력의 증가 또한 표면이 거칠어지는 경향을 보였으나 증착 두께는 압력에 비례하지 않았다. 바이어스 전압이 증가함에 따라 조도가 나빠졌고 증착 두께는 증가하다가 임계 바이어스 전압부터는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 듀티 사이클의 변화는 아크 발생과 같은 문제를 유발했으며 이는 챔버 구조나 타겟의 크기 등에 영향을 받는다. XPS로 $sp^2/sp^3$ 분율을 확인하였으며 $sp^2/sp^3$ 분율이 DC 스퍼터링의 경우보다 HiPIMS의 경우가 더 큰 것을 확인하였다.

LMO($LaMnO_3$) buffer layer of superconducting coated conductor was deposited on IBAD-MgO template in the plasma atmosphere at $650^{\circ}C$ which is relatively low compared with conventional deposition temperature of more than $800^{\circ}C$. Deposition method of LMO was DC sputtering, and target and deposition chamber were connected to the cathode and anode respectively. When DC voltage was applied between target and chamber, plasma was formed on the surface of target. The tape substrate was located with the distance of 10 cm between target and tape substrate. When anode bias was connected to the tape substrate, electrons were attracted from plasma in target surface to the tape substrate, and only tape substrate was heated by electron bombardment without heating any other zone. The effect of electron bombardment on the surface of substrate was investigated by increasing bias voltage to the substrate. We found out that the sample of electron bombardment had the effect of surface heating and had good texturing at low controlling temperature.

In general, high temperature superconducting coated conductors have intermediary buffers layer consisting of seed, diffusion barrier and cap layers. Simplification of the oxide materials buffer architecture in the fabrication of high temperature superconducting coated conductors is required because the deposition of multi-layers buffer architecture leads to a longer manufacturing time and a higher cost process of coated conductors. Thus, single buffer layer deposition seems to be important for practical coated conductor manufacturing process. In this study, a single gradient layered buffer deposition process of YZO for low cost coated conductors has been tried using DC reactive sputtering technique. About several thick YZO gradient single buffer layers deposited by DC co-sputtering process were found to act as a diffusion layer.

We investigated the effects of deposition conditions on the fabrication of $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ thin films using a reactive DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of Fe oxide films dependence on the film thickness, oxygen flow rate, and the substrate crystallinity were also studied. We have successfully fabricated $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ film with thickness of about 10 nm under optimal reactive sputtering conditions. The saturation magnetization, resistivity, and Verwey transition of the $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ film were298 emu/cc, $4.0{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}cm$, and 125 K, respectively.

수소저장합금 전극을 이용하는 박막전지의 제조를 위하여, TiNi 수소저장합금박막의 적정제조조건에 대하여 연구하였다. TiNi합금박막은 직류 스퍼터링을 이용하여 제조하였다. 증착변수인 아르곤유속, 타겔-기판거리, 직류 전력량등을 변화시키면서, 증착속도를 조사하였으며, Ti와 Ni의 화학조성비, 결정구조등을 조사하였다. 증착속도는 아프곤유속, 타겔 기판거리와 반비례하였으며, 직류전력량의 증가에는 정비례하여 증가하였다. 상온에서 증착후에는 비정질구조를 나타냈으나, 진공열처리 후에 결정질로 바뀌었다.
