대향 타겟 스퍼터링법 (Facing Targets Sputtering)을 이용하여 저온 공정에서 ZnO 박막을 증착하였다. 이 실험에서 두 개의 타겟의 거리를 110nm로 고정하고 박막의 증착두께를 150nm로 정하였다. 산소 가스의 유량, 인가 전력을 변수로 하였을 경우 ZnO 박막의 방향성과 결정성을 XRD로 측정하고 분석하였다. 그 결과 인가전압과 산소 유량의 증가에 따라 결정성은 좋아진다.

Indium tin oxide(ITO) films were prepared as a function of varying the proportion of oxygen$[0{\sim}1.0sccm]$ at fixed he gas[20sccm] by facing targets sputtering(FTS) system. Then electrical and optical properties of ITO thin films were estimated by Hall effect measurement system and UV/VIS-spectrometer. In the result, at very little oxygen rate, we can prepare a low resistivity ITO thin film of $3.40{\times}10^{-4}[\Omega{\cdot}cm]$ and transmittance of over 80%. So we noticed that the ITO thin film with low resistivity and high transmittance was prepared by FTS at room temperature.

A new approach is described for preparing AlN thin films containing various amounts of Co content by using a two-facing targets type sputtering (TFTS) system. The deposited films were annealed isothermally at different temperatures and their microstructure, magnetic properties and resistivity were investigated. A small saturation magnetization ($4{\pi}Ms=0.52{\sim}0.85kG$) was observed irrespective of Co content in the asdeposited films. It was found that annealing conditions can control physical properties as well as the microstructure of the films. A high saturation magnetization (3.7 kG) and resistivity of $2200{\mu}{\Omega}-cm$ was obtained for AlN films containing 25 at.% Co.

본 연구에서 사용한 대향 타겟식 스퍼터링(Facing Targets Sputtering) 법은 일반 스퍼터링 법의 단점을 보완한 고밀도 저온 고속성막이 가능한 장점을 가지고 있기 때문에 플랙시블 디스플레이의 기체 투과 방지막으로 많이 쓰이고 있는 SiOxNy, SiOx, SiNx의 박막을 다층으로 증착하여 polymer 기판 위에 조건에 따라 증착 후 박막의 특성을 연구하였다. 제작된 박막의 광학적 특성을 UV-VIS spectrophotometer(Shimadzu Co.)를 사용하여 200~1100nm의 파장 영역에서 광 투과도를 측정하였으며 박막의 두께와 균일도는 $\alpha$-step(Veeco Co.)을 사용하여 측정하였고, 절대 정량이 가능하고 비파괴 분석법인 RBS(KOBE STEEL LTD.)를 이용하여 표면의 성질을 규명하고 XRR(PANalytical X'Pert PRO)을 분석하여 박막의 계면영역에 대한 물성 변화를 평가하고 박막의 밀도를 측정하였다. SEM(Digital Instrument Co.) 사진을 통해 단면과 표면을 관찰하였고 구조적 특성은 AFM(Digital Instrument Co.)와 XRD(Rigaku Co.) 통해 측정하였고 박막의 성분비는 EDS(JEOL Co.)를 사용하였으며 투습률 측정장치 (MOCON)을 이용하여 WVTR를 측정하였다.

ZnO:Al(AZO) has been investigated for the photovoltaic cell or TCO(Transparent Conductive Oxide) of the display, because it has good electrical and optical properties. In this study, the ZnO:Al(AZO) thin film prepared on variation of substrate temperature by FTS(Facing Targets Sputtering) system. In case of TCO, because resistivity and roughness values affect the lighting of the OLED, their factors are very important. Therefore, in this paper, the electrical and optical properties of the AZO thin film were investigated with the deposition conditions and its roughness was investigated on variation of the substrate temperature. In results, AZO thin film deposited with the transmittance over 80% and the resistivity was reduced from $1.36{\times}10^{-3}$ [O-cm] to $4{\times}10^{-4}$ [O-cm] with increasing the substrate temperature from R.T to $200[^{\circ}C]$. Especially, we could obtain the resistivity $4{\times}10^{-4}$ [O-cm] of AZO thin film prepared at working pressure 1[mTorr], input current 0.4[A] and substrate temperature $200[^{\circ}C]$.

The Co-Cr thin films are one of the most suitable candidates for perpendicular magnetic recording media. The facing targets sputtering(FTS) method has a advantage of preparing films over a wide range of working gas pressure on plasma-free substrates. In this study, we investigated the possibility of employing FTS system for depositing Co-Cr films, Co-Cr thin films were deposited with continuously sputter gas pressure ($P_{Ar}$ = 0.1 mTorr) by FTS method at temperature of $40^{\circ}C$. We find that the change of thickness and deposition rate of sputtered Co-Cr thin films affect crystal orientation and magnetic properties. Crystallographic and magnetic properties were evaluated by x-ray diffractometry(XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) respectively. It has been confirmed that the FTS method is very useful for preparing Co-Cr thin film recording media.

In this study, we investigated the properties of Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO) films prepared in facing targets sputtering (FTS) system at room temperature as function of oxygen contents. As as-deposited films were rapidly thermal annealing on air atmosphere of $400^{\circ}C$ for 30s. As a result, the transmittance of IZO films increased with increasing oxygen flow in the visible range. After rapidly thermal annealing to films, the optical properties of films improved than films deposited at R.T, but the electrical properties decreased. Before RTA treatment, the lowest resistivity IZO is $5.4\times10^{-4}[\Omega{\cdot}cm]$ at oxygen gas flow. But, after RTA treatment, IZO films have the value of lowest resistivity at the lower oxygen gas ratio in compare with before RTA treatment. The resistivity of IZO films is $7.29\times10^{-4}[\Omega{\cdot}cm]$ at pure argon atmosphere.

AlN/Al/SiO$_2$/Si thin films for application to FBAR(Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) devices were prepared by FTS(Facing Targets sputtering system) apparatus which provides a stable discharge at low gas pressures and can deposit high quality thin films because of the substrate located apart from the plasma. The AlN thin films were deposited on a $SiO_2(1{\mu}m)/Si(100)$ substrate using an Al bottom electrode. The process parameters were fixed such as sputering power of 200W, working pressures of 1mTorr and AlN thin film thickness of 800nm, respectively and crytallographic characteristics of AlN thin films were investigated as a function of $N_2$ gas flow rate$[N_2/(N_2+Ar)]$. Thickness of AlN thin films were measured by $\alpha$-step, the crystallographic characteristics and c-axis preferred orientation were evaluated by XRD.

The bi-layered films composed of Co-Cr-Ta layers and paramagnetic $Co_{67}Cr_{33}$ underlayer were deposited by suing Facing Targets Sputtering(FTS). The effects of $Co_{67}Cr_{33}$ underlayer on the crystallographic and magnetic characteristics of the Co-Cr-Ta layer deposited on the underlayer was investigated. The diffraction intensity $I_{p(002)}$ of Co-Cr-Ta layers on the $Co_{67}Cr_{33}$ layer was stronger than that of single layer and Co-Cr-Ta/Ti double layer. Therefore, the crystallinity of Co-Cr-Ta layer was imporved by the $Co_{67}Cr_{33}$ underlayer rather than Ti ones. However, te coercivity H$_{c\bot}$ of Co-Cr-Ta layers deposited on $Co_{67}Cr_{33}$ underlayer was as low as 250 Oe even at substrate temperature of $220^{\circ}C$. This H$_{c\bot}$ decrease seems to be attributed to the effect of the $Co_{67}Cr_{33}$ underlayer as well as interval time between deposition of the underlayer and the Co-Cr-Ta layer.

The properties of Al doped ZnO (AZO) thin flim for solar cells with various input currents were studied in this paper. Using facing target sputtering with 2wt.% AZO targets, TCO films were deposited on glass(corning 2948) substrate at room temperature. AZO thin films were deposited by 0.2A, 0.4A, 0.6A and 0.8A at the thickness of 300nm. Electrical, optical and structural of thin films investigated by a Hall effect measurement (Ecopia), an UV-VIS spectrometer(HP) and a X-ray diffractometer (Rigaku). As a results, all thin films showed transmittance about 80%, respectively and resistivity was $7.67\times10^{-4}\Omega$-cm at 0.6A.
