Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 thin films are prepared by IBS(ion beam sputtering) technique. Three phases of Bi-2201, Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 appear as stable ones in spite of the conditions for thin film fabrication of Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 compositions, depending on substrate temperature (T $_{sub}$) and ozone pressure(PO$_3$). It is found out that these phases are limited within very narrow temperature.e.

Titanium oxide thin films were deposited by DC reactive magnetron sputtering(RMS) with Ar ion-beam assistance using end-Hall ion source at low oxygen partial pressure and long target-to-substrate distance. The optical and structural properties of deposited films were investigated by the measurement of measured transmittance and reflectance, atomic force microscope(AFM), and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The results show that the Ax ion-beam assisted RMS for titanium oxide thin films induces the higher packing density, lower absorption, and smoother surface than the conventional RMS, suggesting that it can be employed in deposition of optical dielectric coatings.

Focused ion beams are a potential tool for micro/nano structure fabrication while several problems still have to be overcome. Redeposition of sputtered atoms limits the accurate fabrication of micro/nano structures. The challenge lies in accurately controlling the focused ion beam to fabricate various arbitrary curved shapes. In this paper a basic approach for the focused ion beam induced direct fabricate of fundamental features is presented. This approach is based on the topography simulation which naturally considers the redeposition of sputtered atoms and sputtered yield changes. Fundamental features such as trapezoidal, circular and triangular were fabricated with this approach using single or multiple pass box milling. The beam diameter(FWHM) and maximum current density are 68 nm and $0.8 A/cm^2$, respectively. The experimental investigations show that the fabricated shape is well suited for the pre-designed fundamental features. The characteristics of ion beam induced direct fabrication and shape formation will be discussed.

Ir-Re thin films with Ti interlayer were deposited onto the tungsten carbide substrate by ion beam assisted DC magnetron sputtering. The Ir-Re films were prepared with targets of having two atomic percent of 7:3 and 5:5. The microstructure and surface analysis of the specimen were conducted by using SEM, XRD and AFM. Mechanical properties such as hardness and adhesion strength of Ir-Re thin film also were examined. The interlayer of pure titanium was formed with 100 nm thickness. The film growth of Ir-30at.%Re was faster than that of Ir-50at.%Re in the same deposition conditions. Ir-Re thin films consisted of dense and columnar structure irrespective of the different target compositions. The values of hardness and adhesion strength of Ir-30at.%Re thin film coated on WC substrate were higher than those of Ir-50at.%Re thin film.

Ferroelectric $Sr_xBa_{1-x}Nb_2O_6(0.25{\leq}x{\leq}0.75)$ thin films were prepared by the Ion Beam Sputtering method. Deposit onto Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrates. The deposited thin films were heat-treated for crystallization. Microstructure and crystallization behavior were examined using FE-SEM, XRD. Ferroelectric hysteresis were measured. The measured remanent polarization and coercive field values were $38{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 120kV/cm, respectively.

The application of focused ion beam (FIB) technology in micro/nano machining has become increasingly popular. Its use in micro/nano machining has advantages over contemporary photolithography or other micro/nano machining technologies such as small feature resolution, the ability to process without masks and being accommodating for a variety of materials and geometries. This paper was carried out some experiments and verifications of mechanism on FIB-CVD using SMI8800 made by Seiko. FIB-CVD has in fact proved to be commercially useful for repair processes because the beam can be focused down to 0.05$\mu\textrm{m}$ dimensions and below and because the same tool can be used to sputter off material with sub-micrometer precision simply by turning off the gas ambient. Recently the chemical vapour deposition induced ion beam has been required more deposition rate and accurate pattern because of trying to manufacture many micro and nano parts. Therefore this paper suggested the optimization parameters and discussed some mechanism of chemical vapour deposition induced ion beam on FIB-CVD for simple pattern.

BSCCO thin films have been fabricated by co-deposition at an ultralow growth rate using ion beam sputtering(IBS) method. The growth rates of the films was set in the region from 0.17 to 0.27 nm/min. MgO(100) was used as a substrate. In order to appreciate stable existing region of Bi 2212 phase with temperature and ozone pressure, the substrate temperature was varied between 655 and 82$0^{\circ}C$ and the highly condensed ozone gas pressure(PO$_3$) in vacuum chamber was varied between 2.0$\times$10$^{-6}$ and 2.3$\times$10$^{-5}$ Torr. Bi 2212 phase appeared in the temperature range of 750 and 795$^{\circ}C$ and single phase of Bi 2201 existed in the lower region than 785$^{\circ}C$. Whereas, PO$_3$dependance on structural formation was scarcely observed regardless of the pressure variation. And high quality of c-axis oriented Bi 2212 thin film with T$_{c}$(onset) of about 90 K and T$_{c}$(zero) of about 45 K is obtained. Only a small amount of CuO in some films was observed as impurity, and no impurity phase such as CaCuO$_2$was observed in all of the obtained films.lms.

We investigated the preferred orientation, electrical and magnetic properties of the Mn-Zn ferrite thin films deposited on SiO2/Si(100) by ion beam sputtering. The Cu-added Mn-Zn ferrite thin films had a preferred orientation of (111) with a weak orientation, (311). While the Zn-added one had a strong (111) preferred orientation. The saturation magnetization of the Cu- or Zn-doped Mn-Zn ferrite films increased with increasing substrate temperature (Ts) due to the increase of grain size and the enhancement of crystallinity. For the same reason the coercivity of Cu- or Zn-doped Mn-Zn ferrite films deposited at low Ts increased with increasing Ts, but those of the films deposited at high Ts slightly decreased not only because the defect density of the films decreases but because more grains have multi-domains with increasing Ts. The resistivity of Cu- or Zn-added Mn-Zn ferrite thin fims measured by complex impedance method decreased with increasing Ts due to the ehhancement of crystallinity as well as due to the increase of grain size.

Thin film $SnO_2$ Gas Sensor was fabricated by using ion beam sputtering and ultra thin film Pt catalyst of $45{\AA}$ was deposited on $SnO_2$ thin film. The effects of annealing temperature on the structural properies of $SnO_2$ were investigated using the X-ray diffraction. Using SEM, microstructures of thin film were investigated. The good gas sensitivity is shown when annealing condition is $650^{\circ}C$, 5hr and ultra thin film Pt catalyst thickness is $45{\AA}$.

The barrier and optical properties of AlO$_{x}$ thin films on polycarbonate deposited by Reactive Ion Beam Sputtering (RIBS) were investigated at different oxygen partial pressure. We measured the deposition rate of AlO$_{x}$ thin films. As the oxygen partial pres-sure increased, the deposition rate increased then decreased. The changes of deposition rate are associated with the properties of deposited films. The properties of deposited AlO$_{x}$ thin films were studied using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scan-ning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Optimum deposition parameters were found for fabricat-ing aluminum oxide thin films with high optical transparency for visible light and low Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR). The optical transmittance of AlO$_{x}$ thin film deposited on polycarbonate (PC) showed the same value of bare PC.bare PC.
