The development of high performance materials is very important subject in order to enhance the properties of bearings whose role is to transfer energy harmoniously by reducing the problem of friction and wear down, etc. between the interacting solid surfaces in relative motion under high loads in comply with mechanical operating mechanism of engines. In this study, several (100-x)Al-xSn coating films (where x=85, 75, 65 atomic % at Al) on substrates which are abt. 2mm thickenss of Kelmet layer sintered back steel were prepared by using RF sputtering system. These coating films were observed the morphology by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and investigated the crystal structure by XRD(X-ray Diffractor) for their properties. And friction coefficient of these films was measured by ball-on-disc tester for their tribological properties. From the experimental results, it was shown that high performance properties of bearing can be improved greatly by controlling the composition and morphology of material surface with effective use of the plasma-assisted sputtering process.

ZnO shows the properties of wide conductivity variation, high optical transmittance, and excellent piezoelectricity. Using these properties of ZnO, the material applications were extended to sensors, SAW filters, solar cells, and display devices. This paper investigated transmittance influencing factors for thin film ZnO grown by RF magnetron sputtering. The growth rate and structural investigation were carried out in conjunction with optical transmittance characteristics of thin film ZnO. The glass substrate temperature of $175^{\circ}C$ exhibited a preferential crystallization along (002) orientation. Transmittance of ZnO film deposited at the substrate temperature of $175^{\circ}C$ showed higher than 92%. An active sputter gas was investigated with a variation of $O_2$ partial pressure from 0 to 10% in an Ar atmosphere. ZnO film grown in 100% Ar gas shows that a reduced transmittance of 82% at the short wavelengths and decreased resistivity value. As the partial pressure of $O_2$ gas increased, the optical transmittance was increased above 90% at the short wavelengths, however, resistivity was drastically increased to higher than $10^4{\Omega}$-cm.

ZTO/GZO double layered films were prepared on unheated non-alkali glass substrates. ZTO films were deposited by RF/DC hybrid magnetron co-sputtering using ZnO (RF) target and $SnO_2$ (DC) targets, and then GZO films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering using an GZO ($Ga_2O_3$:5.57 wt%) target. These films were post-annealed at temperature of 200, $300^{\circ}C$ in air and vacuum ambient for 30 min. In the case of post-annealing in air, ZTO/GZO double layer showed relatively low resistivity change, compared to GZO single layer. Furthermore, ZTO/GZO double layer revealed low WVTR, compared to GZO single layer. Therefore, it can be confirmed that ZTO film doing a role with barrier for water or oxygen diffusion.

The ZnO thin films were grown on GaN template substrates by RF magnetron sputtering at different RF powers and n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunction LEDs were fabricated to investigate the effect of the RF power on the characteristics of the n-ZnO/p-GaN LEDs. For the growth of the ZnO thin films, the substrate temperature was kept constant at $200^{\circ}C$ and the RF power was varied within the range of 200 to 500W at different growth times to deposit films of 100 nm thick. The electrical, optical and structural properties of ZnO thin films were investigated by ellipsometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL) and by assessing the Hall effect. The characteristics of the n-ZnO/p-GaN LEDs were evaluated by current-voltage (I-V) and electroluminescence (EL) measurements. ZnO thin films were grown with a preferred c-axis orientation along the (0002) plane. The XRD peaks shifted to low angles and the surface roughness became non-uniform with an increase in the RF power. Also, the PL emission peak was red-shifted. The carrier density and the mobility decreased with the RF power. For the n-ZnO/p-GaN LED, the forward current at 20 V decreased and the threshold voltage increased with the RF power. The EL emission peak was observed at approximately 435 nm and the luminescence intensity decreased. Consequently, the crystallinity of the ZnO thin films grown with RF sputtering powers were improved. However, excess Zn affected the structural, electrical and optical properties of the ZnO thin films when the optimal RF power was exceeded. This excess RF power will degrade the characteristics of light emitting devices.

본 연구에서는 RF스퍼터링법에 의하여 유리기판에 NiO를 40 nm만큼 증착시킨후, 30분 동안 각각 상온, $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$로 후 열처리 하였다. 박막의 전자적, 광학적 특성은 XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), REELS (Reflection Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy)와 UV-Spectrometer를 이용하여 =측정하였고, Hall Effect를 이용하여 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. XPS측정결과, $400^{\circ}C$ 후 열처리 한 NiO박막은 NiO 결합인 Ni2+가 줄어 들면서 금속 결합인 Ni0가 증가하면, 상온에서 띠틈이 4.0eV, 3.4eV로 줄어드는 것을 REELS로 확인 했다. 이 값은 UV-Spectrometer를 이용한 광학적 띠틈과 같음을 보였다. Hall Effect측정 결과 $400^{\circ}C$ 후 열처리한 샘플에서 P-type에서 N-type으로 바뀜을 보였으며, 비저항이 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. UV-Spectrometer를 이용한 광학적 특성을 측정해본 결과, 가시광선영역인 380 nm~780 nm에서의 투과율이 75%이상으로 투명전자소자로의 응용이 가능하다는 것을 보여 주었다.

NiO-AZO films were deposited on glass substrate by DC and RF magnetron co-sputtering system in pure $O_2$ gas without substrate heating during deposition. In order to control the chemical composition of the film, NiO target was supplied with constant RF power of 150 W and AZO target (doped with 2.98 at% aluminum) with DC power varied between 40 W to 80 W. Deposited NiO-AZO films were evaluated by structural and chemical analysis. With introducing AZO, XRD and XPS data reveal that NiO were supplied with more oxygen. these results could be strongly affected by the higher bond enthalpy of NiO compared to ZnO, which makes it possible for NiO to obtain excessive oxygen from ZnO.

최근 커패시터의 전극은 Pt, Au등으로 이용되고 있다. 이러한 전극의 전기적 특성은 우수하나 고가이다. 본 연구에서는 전극의 저가격화 측면에서 알루미늄 전극 위에 BaTiO$_{3}$를 증착하고 기관의 온도를 실온에서 600[.deg. C]까지 변화시켜 RF스퍼터링법으로 제작하였다. BaTiO$_{3}$세라믹의 유전특성은 구성하고 있는 입자의 강유전 분역 밀도와 입자의 크기에 의존하므로 입자가 성장되는 온도영역에서 입자의 크기와 유전율간의 관계를 연구하였다. 또한 BaTiO$_{3}$박막 커패시터의 유전상수는 BaTiO$_{3}$세라믹과 알루미늄기관의 계면에서 산화특성이 일어나기 때문에 기관온도의 변화에 의해 조사되었다. 기관의 온도를 증가시킴에 따라 결정면의 피크와 강도는 증가하였으며, 유전특성은 결정입자의 크기가 0.8[.mu.m]일때 가장 양호하였다. 유전율값은 기판 온도가 400[.deg. C]일 때 가장 크게 나타났다. 결과적으로, 알루미늄 전극에 BaTiO$_{3}$세라믹을 증착하여 저가의 적층용 세라믹 콘덴서를 제조할 수 있음을 알았다.

$LiNbO_3$ transistor showed relatively stable characteristic, low interface trap density, and large remanent polarization. This paper reports ferroelectric $LiNbO_3$ thin films grown directly on p-type Si(100) substrates by 13.56 MHz rf magnetron sputtering system for FRAM applications. To take advantage of low temperature requirement for growing films, we deposited $LiNbO_3$ films lower than $300 ^{\circ}C$. RTA(Rapid Thermal Anneal) treatment was performed for as-deposited films in an oxygen atmosphere at $600^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec. We learned from X-ray diffraction that the RTA annealed films were changed from amorphous to poly-crystalline $LiNbO_3$ which exhibited (012), (015), and (022) orientations. The I-V characteristics of $LiNbO_3$ films before and after anneal treatment showed that RTA improved the leakage current of films. The leakage current density of films decreased from $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-7} A/cm^2$ at room temperature measurement. Breakdown electric field of the films exhibited higher than 500 kV/cm. The C-V curves showed the clockwise hysteresis represents ferroelectric switching characteristics. From C-V curves, we calculated dielectric constant of thin film $LiNbO_3$ as 27.5 which is close to that of bulk value.
