Nano-multilayered, crystalline AlTiSiN thin films were deposited on WC-TiC-Co substrates by the cathodic arc plasma deposition. The deposited film consisted of wurtzite-type AlN, NaCl-type TiN, and tetragonal $Ti_2N$ phases. Their oxidation characteristics were studied at 800 and $900^{\circ}C$ for up to 20 h in air. The WC-TiC-Co oxidized fast with large weight gains. By contrast, the AlTiSiN film displayed superior oxidation resistance, due mainly to formation of the ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$-rich surface oxide layer, below which an ($Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$, $SiO_2$)-intermixed scale existed. Their oxidation progressed primarily by the outward diffusion of nitrogen, combined with the inward transport of oxygen that gradually reacted with Al, Ti, and Si in the film.

Metal thin films such as aluminum have been used as interconnects in semiconductor device. Recently, these materials are applied to structural materials in microsensors and microactuators. In this study, we evaluate deformation and strength behavior of aluminum alloy film. Three layer model for thermal deformation of multilayered thin film material is introduced and applied to Si/Al(1%Si)/$SiO_2$ system. Based on beam bending theory and concept of bending strain. elastic and elastic/plastic thermal deformation behaviors of multilayered materials can be estimated. In the case of plastic deformation of ductile layer, strain rate equations based on deformation mechanism map are employed for describe the stress relaxation effect. To experimentally examine deformation of multilayered thin film materials, in-situ laser scanning method is used to measure curvature of specimens during heating and cooling. The thickness of $SiO_2$ layer is varied to estimate third-layer effect of thermal deformation of metal films, and its effect on deformation behavior are discussed.

Multilayered films of Co/Pd have been studied as a candidate material for a high density perpendicular recording medium due to higher anisotropy energy. However, high exchange coupling among grains results in large transition noise. To reduce the exchange coupling and grain size, addition of 3rd elements and physical separation of grains have been attempted. In the present paper, effects of sputtering pressure, Co sublayer thickness and Pd underlayer thickness on magnetic properties and microstructures were studied. It was found that by increasing sputtering pressure from 5 mTorr to 25 mTorr, Ms decreased to one half and coercivity increased more than 5000 Oe. The increase of the coercivity is associated with physical separation of grains by high pressure sputtering. Ms per volume of Co for Co/Pd multilayered film deposited at 25 mTorr shows continuous decrease with increasing Co sublayer thickness. This was related to void formation and intermixing of Co/Pd interface. Also, effect of Pd underlayer thickness on magnetic properties will be discussed.

The structure and magnetic properties of Fe-Ni-N/Cu multilayered films, prepared by the DC magnetron sputter, as a function of different thicknesses of Fe-Ni-N ($t_{FeNiN}$) and Cu ($t_Cu$) layers have been studied by the methods of x-ray diffraction and measurement of magnetic moment. It has been found that the enhancement of (200) orientation in Fe-Ni-N layers is observed at the ratio of layer thickness with about $t_{FeNiN}/t_{Cu}$ $\underline{\simeq}$ 3.75. The reduction of magnetization due to the formation of interdiffusion near the interface is explained by means of the dead layer model. The temperature dependence of magnetization exhibits the feature of Blochs $T^{\frac{2}{3}}$ law. The layer thickness dependence of Curie temperature has been discussed by critical temperature theory of Heisenberg model.

ZnO thin films were deposited on various substrates, such as Si-(111), SiO$_2$(5000 $\AA$ by thermal CVD)/Si-(100), and SiO$_2$(2000 $\AA$ by RF sputtering)/Si-(100). The (002)-orientation, surface morphology and roughness, and electrical resistivity of deposited films were measured and compared in terms of substrate. Surface acoustic wave(SAW) filters with a multilayered configuration of IDT/ZnO/SiO$_2$/Si were also fabricated and the IDT was obtained using a lift-off method. From the frequency-response characteristics of fabricated devices, the insertion loss and side-lobe rejection were estimated. The experimental results showed that the (002)-oriented growth nature of ZnO films, which played a crucial role of determining the characteristic of SAW device, was strong1y dependent upon the SiO$_2$buffer.

We have carried out the first-principle electronic structure calculations to investigate the spacer layer formation of Fe/Si multilayered films (MLF) and compared with the results obtained by optical spectroscopy. The computer-simulated spectra based on various structural models of MLF showed that neither FeSi$_2$ nor B2O-phase FeSi, which are semiconducting, could be considered as the spacer layers in the Fe/Si MLF for the strong antiferromagnetic coupling. The optical properties of the spacer extracted from the effective optical response of the MLF strongly support its metallic nature. The optical conductivity spectra of various phases of Fe-Si compounds were calculated and compared with the extracted optical properties of the spacer. From the above theoretical investigations it is concluded that a E2-phase metallic FeSi compound is spontaneously formed at the interfaces during deposition.
