본 연구에서는 이온선보조증착법에 의해 Si(100)기판위에 정합성장된 $Si_{0.5}$Ge_{0.5}$층의 핵성성과 성장을 고찰하였다. 성장층에 대한 AFM(Atomic Force Microscopy), RHEED(Reflection High Energy Electron diffraction) 등의 분석결과 Si(100)기판위에 이온선보조증착에 의하여 성장된 $Si_{0.5}$Ge_{0.5}$층은 Stranski-Kranstanov(SK)기구로 성장되며, 300eV, 10 $\mu$A/$cm^{2}$의 Ar이온선을 조사시키는 경우 결정성이 향상되었고, SK 성장 방식의 임계두께가 증가하였다. Ar 이온선 조사에 의해 MBE에 의한 정합성장온도(55$0^{\circ}C$-$600^{\circ}C$)보다 훨씬 낮은 20$0^{\circ}C$에서 정합성장이 가능하였으며, $x_{mn}$값은 10.5%로 MBE에 의한 정합성장시 보고된 $x_{mn}$ 값보다 낮았다. 이온충돌에 의해 발생한 3차원 island의 분해와 표면확산의 증가가 $Si_{0.5}$Ge_{0.5}$층의 성장에 현저한 영향을 미쳤으며, 이온충돌의 영향은 3차원 island의 생성보다 3차원 island의 분해가 더 안정한 낮은 증착온도에서만 관찰되었다.

Plasma resistant nanocrystalline $Y_2O_3$ films were deposited on alumina substrates through the electron-beam PVD technique. Increasing substrate temperature to $600^{\circ}C$ resulted in the textured microstructures with significantly enhanced adhesion force of the coating to the substrate. During the exposure to fluorine plasma, erosion rate of the coated specimen was higher than that of a sintered yttria specimen, but significantly lower than that of a single crystalline alumina. Considering the adhesion and erosion behaviors observed in the coated specimen prepared at $600^{\circ}C$, the deposition technique appears effective in reducing contamination particles generated from the ceramic parts in the plasma environment.

The vertically well-aligned carbon nanotubes(CNTs) were successfully grown on Ni coated silicon wafer substrate by DC bias-assisted PECVD(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition). As a catalyst, Ni thin film of thickness ranging from 15~30nm was prepared by electron beam evaporator method. In order to find the optimum growth condition, the type of gas mixture such as $C_2H_2-NH_3$ was systematically investigated by adjusting the gas mixing ratio at $570^{\circ}C$ under 0.4Torr. The diameter of the grown CNTs was 40~200nm and the diameter of the CNTs increased with increasing the Ni particles size. TEM images clearly showed carbon nanotubes to be multiwalled. The measured turn-on field was $3.9V/\mu\textrm{m}$ and an emission current of $1.4{\times}10^4A/\textrm{cm}^2$ was $7V/\mu\textrm{m}$. The CNTs grown by bias-assisted PECVD was able to demonstrate high quality in terms of vertical alignment, crystallization of graphite and the processing technique at low temperature of $570^{\circ}C$ and this can be applied for the emitter tip of FEDs.

Nowadays, ZnO thin films are investigated as transparent conductive electrodes for use in optoelectronics devices including flat displays, thin films transistors, solar cells because of their unique optical and electrical properties. For the use as transparent conductive electrodes, a film has to have low resistivity, high absorption in the ultra violent light region and high optical transmission in the visible region. Different technologies such as electron beam evaporation, chemical vapor deposition, laser evaporation, DC and RF magnetron sputtering and have been reported to produce thin films of ZnO with adequate performance for applications. However, highly transparent and conductive doped-ZnO thin films deposited by a metal-organic decomposition method have not been reported before. In this work, the effect of dopant concentration, heating treatment and annealing in areducing atmosphere on the structure, morphology, electrical and optical properties of ZnO thin films deposited on glass substrates by a Sol-gel method are investigated.

Cu thin films of $6000{\AA}$ thickness were deposited by Electron Beam Evaporation(EBE) method on the glass. The resistivity properties and adhesion of Cu thin films were investigated by various annealing and substrate temperature. Cu thin films were annealed in the air and vacuum condition for 10 min after the deposition. The resistivity and adhesion(the force required to separate films from substrates) was measured by 4-point probe and scratch testing. The resistivity of non-annealing Cu thin films was distinguished more substrate temperature loot than substrate temperature R.T, $200^{\circ}C$. In the case of air condition annealing, as heating temperature was increased, the resistivity was decreased. In the case of vacuum condition annealing, the resistivity was increased at heating temperature $200^{\circ}C$. The best resistivity($1.72\;{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$) of Cu thin films was obtained by the air condition heating temperature $200^{\circ}C$ at the substrate heating temperature $100^{\circ}C$. As a result of scratch testing, adhesion was increased by annealing. And maximum adhesion had 600 gf.

This paper proposes a micro gas sensor for measuring $H_2S$ gas. This is based on a $SnO_2$-CuO multi-layer thin film. The sensor has a silicon diaphragm, micro heater, and sensing layers. The micro heater is embedded in the sensing layer in order to increase the temperature to an operating temperature. The $SnO_2$-CuO multi layer film is prepared by the alternating deposition method and thermal oxidation which uses an electron beam evaporator and a thermal furnace. To determine the effect of the number of layers, five sets of films are prepared, each with different number of layers. The sensitivities are measured by applying $H_2S$ gas. It has a concentration of 1 ppm at an operating temperature of $270^{\circ}C$. At the same total thickness, the sensitivity of the sensor with multi sensing layers was improved, compared to the sensor with one sensing layer. The sensitivity of the sensor with five layers to 1 ppm of $H_2S$ gas is approximately 68%. This is approximately 12% more than that of a sensor with one-layer.

It has been investigated corrosion resistance and crystal structure of Zn-Cr coatings fabricated by electroplating method and electron-beam physical vapor deposition method(EB-P VD). The electroplated Zn-Cr alloy consists mainly of η'-Zn phase for the lower Cr content than 7.9 wt% Cr and ${\gamma}$'-ZnCr phase for the higher Cr content. In the Zn-Cr alloy fabricated by EB-PVD the ${\gamma}$'-ZnCr phase appeared clearly at 3 wt% Cr and it became the sole phase at 50 wt%Cr. The amount of η'-Zn phase decreased obviously with increasing Cr content when it exceeded 15 wt% Cr. The electrochemical measurement of the electroplated Zn-Cr film has shown corrosion potential of about -1000 mV. The current density of active region and the amount of dissolved Zn and Cr decreased significantly with increasing Cr content. The electrochemical characteristics of Zn-Cr alloy fabricated by EB-PVD have shown that the alloy of 50 wt% Cr had the highest corrosion potential(-500 mV) and the lowest critical passive current density than that of the electroplated.

Ni thin films on the p-InP (In) substrates were grown at room temperature by using the ion beam-assisted deposition. In order to determine the work function of the Ni thin films, the $\gamma$values were measured as functions of the acceleration voltages by using Ne, Ar, $N_2$. and Xe ion sources. The dependences of the values on various gases and on the acceleration voltages of the focused ion beam were obtained to determine the work function of the Ni thin films. The value of the work function of the Ni thin films grown on the p-InP (100) substrate was 5.8 eV ~ 5.85 eV. These results provide important information on the electronic properties of Ni thin films grown on p-InP (100) substrates at room temperature.

The Y2O3 films on Si(111) was grown by ionized cluster beam depposition (ICBD) in ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV). The acceleration voltage and oxygen ppartial ppressure were fixed at 5 kV and 2$\times$10-5 Torr resppectively. The substrate tempperature was varied from 10$0^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ in order to find the deppendence of crystallinity of Y2O3 films on the substrate tempperature. The crystallinity of the films with the substrate tempperature studied using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rutherford backscattering sppectroscoppy (RES). Surface crystallinity and surface morpphology of the films were also investigated using the reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and atomic force microscoppe (AFM) resppectively. The films grown at the substrate tempperature below 50$0^{\circ}C$showed the ppoly-crystalline structure of oxygen deficiency. On the contrary the single-crystalline structure was obtained at the substrate tempperature over 50$0^{\circ}C$ and the stochimetry was gradually matched as increasing the substrate tempperature. The surface morpphology showed the increase of the surface roughness as the substrate tempperature was increased upp to 50$0^{\circ}C$ The crystallinity of the film was not good and the minimum channeling yield $\chi$min was measured at 0.91 The stochiometric and high crystallinine film (surface $\chi$min=0.25) was obtained as the substrate tempperature increased upp to 60 $0^{\circ}C$ which indicate the tempperature was sufficient to migrate the depposited atom.
