Metal electrode materials for plasma display panel should have low electrical resistivity in order to maintain stable gas discharge and have fast response time. They should also hae good film uniformity adhesion and thermal stability. In this study Cr/Cu/Cr metal electrode structure is formed by DC magnetron sputtering. Cr and Cu films were deposited on ITO coated glasses with various DC power density and main pressures as the major parameters. After metal electrodes were formed a heat treatment was followed at 55$0^{\circ}C$ for 20 min in a vacuum furnace. The intrinsic stress of the sputtered Cr film passed a tensile stress maximum decreased and then became compressive with further increasing DC power density. Also with increasing the main pressure stress turned from compression to tension. After heat the treatment the electrical resistivity of the sputtered Cu film of 2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in thickness prepared at 1 motor with the applied power density of 3.70 W/cm$^2$was 2.68 $\mu$$\Omega$.cm With increasing the main pressure the DC magnetron sputtered Cu film became more open structure. The heat treatment decreased the surface roughness of the sputtered Cr/Cu/Cr metal electrodes.

The friction and wear behaviors of Magnetron Sputtered MoS$_2$films were investigated by using a pin on disk type tester which was designed and manufactured for this experiment. The experiment was conducted by using silicon nitride (Si$_3$N$_4$) as a pin material and Magnetron Sputtered MoS$_2$on bearing steel (STB2) as a disk material, under operating conditions that include different surface roughness (Polishing specimen, Grinding specimen)(2types), linear sliding velocities in the range of 22, 44, 66mm/sec (3types), normal loads vary from 9.8N, 19.6N, 29.4N(3types), corresponding to contact pressures of 1.9∼2.7GPa and atmospheric conditions of high vacuum( 1.3${\times}$10$\^$-4/Pa), medium vacuum( 1.3${\times}$10$\^$-l/Pa), ambient air(10$\^$5/Pa)(3types). We investigated fracture mechanism in magnetron sputtered MoS$_2$films with Magnetron Sputtering method in each experiment.

The Ti-Al-V-N films have been deposited on various substrates by d.c and r.f reactive magnetron sputtering from a Ti-6Al-4V alloy target in mixed $Ar-N_2$ discharges. The films were investigated by means of XRD, AES, SEM/EDX, microhardness, TG and scratch test. The XRD and SEM results indicated that the films were of single B1 NaCl phase having dense columnar structure with the (111) preferred orientation. The composition of Ti-Al-V-N film was the Ti-7.1Al-4.3V-N(wt%) films. Adhesion and microhardness of Ti-Al-V-N films deposited by r.f magnetron sputtering method were better than those deposited by d.c magnetron sputtering method. The anti-oxidation properties of Ti-Al-V-N films were also superior to that of Ti-N film deposited by the same deposition conditions.

Ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9(SBT) films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates at 50$0^{\circ}C$ using a sintered SBT target Bi and Ta targets by modified rf magnetron sputtering and then were annealed at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 10min in oxygen ambinet(760 torr) The composition of the SBT films could be easily controlled using the mul-ti-targets. The film composition of {{{{ {Sr }_{0.8 } {Bi }_{2.9 } {Ta}_{2.0 } {O }_{9 } }} was obtained with SBTd sputtering power of 100 W Bi of 25W and Ta of 10 W. A 250nm thick SBT films exhibited a dense and uniform microstructure and showed the remanent polarization(Pr) of 14.4 $\mu$C/cm2 and the coercive field({{{{ {E }_{c } }})of 60 kV/cm at applied voltage of 5 V. The SBT films show practically no polarization fatigue up to {{{{ {10 }_{10 } }} cycles under 5V bipolar pulse. The retention characteristics of the SBT films looked very promising and the leakage current density of the SBT films was about 1.23$\times${{{{ {10 }^{-7 } }}A/c{{{{ {m }^{2 } }} at 120kV/cm.

스터퍼링 기술이 1852년 Grove에 의해서 최초 발견되어 1979년 Chapin에 의해서 planar magnetron cathode 개발로 진공코팅기술의 새로운 영역을 열게 되어 현재까지 디스플레이, 반도체, 태양전지, 광학산업 및 전자부품 등 나노 산업에 필수적으로 적용되고 있다. 스퍼터링 입자는 운동량 전달에 의한 것으로 운동량을 갖는 나노 스퍼터링 입자는 기판에 대한 박막의 부착력이 우수하고 대면적에 균일하고 재현성 있게 성막되는 특징을 갖고 있다. 마그네트론 스퍼터링 기술이 산업에 응용되면서 주로 4분야에서 많은 연구, 개발이 되어져 왔다. 첫째는 타겟의 고순도 및 고밀도화와 더불어 가격이 고가로 됨에 따라 타겟 사용효율의 향상이다. 플라즈마를 발생시키는 캐소드의 자기회로를 1차원, 2차원 및 회전운동을 통해서 사용효율을 향상시키고 있다. 둘째는 기판에 대해서 박막특성이 균일하도록 코팅하는 것이다. 디스플레이에서는 글래스 기판이 대면적으로 됨에 따라서 핸들링이 어려워져 여러 개의 캐소드 자기회로를 선형적으로 이동시켜 박막두께분포를 최적화하며 반응성 가스를 사용해서 균일한 특성의 박막을 제작하는 경우에는 가스분사관과 배기펌프계의 기하학적 위치 및 가스 유동학적 해석이 필요하다. 셋째는 스퍼터링 입자의 이온화로 의한 박막의 특성향상과 반도체 trench의 높은 aspect ratio hole을 채우는 것이다. 이온화 방법으로는 inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave amplified (MA), high power impulse (HIPI), hollow cathode magnetron (HCM), self-sustained sputtering 등이 사용되어져 왔으며 최근에는(neutral beam-assisted sputtering (NBAS)에 의한 박막특성향상 방법이 발표되고 있다. 넷째는 플라즈마 및 박막두께 시뮬레이션에 대해서 많은 발표가 되고 있다. 본 발표에서는 상기의 4 분야를 포함한 향후 개발방향에 대해서 소개할 예정이다.

For deposition technology using plasma, it plays an important role in improving film deposited with high ionization rate through high density plasma. Various deposition methods such as high-power impulse magnetron sputtering and ion-beam sputtering have been developed for physical vapor deposition technology and are still being studied. In this study, it is intended to control plasma using inductive coupled plasma (ICP) antennas and use properties to improve the properties of Hafnium nitride (HfN) films using ICP assisted magnetron sputtering (ICPMS). HfN film deposited using ICPMS showed a finer grain sizes, denser microstructure and better mechanical properties as ICP power increases. The best mechanical properties such as nanoindentation hardness of 47 GPa and Young's modulus of 401 GPa was obtained from HfN film deposited using ICPMS at ICP power of 200 W.

The introduction of two-grid inside a conventional process system produces a reactive coating deposition and increases metal ion ratio in the plasma, resulting in denser and smoother films. The corrosion behaviors of TiN coatings were investigated by electrochemical methods, such as potentiodynamic polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in deaerated 3.5% NaCl solution. Electrochemical tests were used to evaluate the effect of microstructure on the corrosion behavior of TiN coatings exposed to a corrosive environment. The crystal structure of the coatings was examined by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and the microstructure of the coatings was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM). In the potentiodynamic polarization test and EIS measurement, the corrosion current density of TiN deposited by two grid-attached magnetron sputtering was lower than TiN deposited by conventional magnetron type and also presented higher Rct values during 240 h immersion time. It is attributed to the formation of a dense microstructure, which promotes the compactness of coatings and yields lower porosity.

Ti-6Al-4V-N films have been grown onto glass substrates by dc reactive magnetron sputtering from a Ti-6Al-4V-N alloy target at different nitrogen partial pressure, input powers and sputtering times. The influence of various sputtering conditions on structural properties of Ti-6Al-4V-N films was investigated by measuring their X-ray diffraction. The quaternary Ti-6Al-4V-N film is crystallizing in a face centered cubic TiN structure, the lattice parameter is smaller than the TiN parameter as titanium atoms of the TiN lattice are replaced by aluminum and vanadium atoms. The films show the (111) preferred orientation and the (111) peak intensity decreases as the nitrogen partial pressure is increased, but the intensity increases as the sputtering time is increased. The deposition rate and the grain size are alto related with the variation of various sputtering conditions.
