RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 유리 기판위에 ZnO:Al 박막을 증착하고 열공정에 따른 박막의 구조적, 광학적, 전기적 특성을 연구하였다. 열공정 파라미터로는 공정 온도와 어닐링 온도를 이용하였다. 각각의 열공정 파라미터 변화에 따라 ZnO:Al 박막의 특성이 영향 받음을 확인하였다. 모든 샘플에서(002) 우선 배향성을 보였으며 80% 이상의 투과도 특성을 보였다. 하지만, 열공정에 따라 결정성이 나빠지기도 좋아지기도 하였다. 표면 거칠기는 열공정 종류에 상관없이 온도 증가에 따라 증가하였다. 또한, 투과도도 열공정 종류에 상관없이 온도 증가에 따라 감소함을 보인 반면 광학적 밴드갭은 적색이동 현상을 나타내었다. 적색이동 현상은 Burstein-Moss effect와 관련이 있으며 온도증가에 따라 캐리어 이동도가 감소하여 나타난 현상이다. 열공정에서 따라 비저항이 민감하게 변화하였다. 각각의 열공정에서 온도가 증가함에 따라 비저항이 증가하였고 캐리어 농도와 이동도는 감소함을 보이고 있다. ZnO:Al 박막의 화학적인 상태를 분석한 결과, 열공정 온도에 따라 Al 농도 변화와 불순물 표면 흡착 변화가 발생하였으며 이에 따라캐리어 농도와 이동도의 감소가 나타난 것으로 판단된다.

In the present paper, the Cu films 4.mu.m thick were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering method on Si wafer. The Cu films deposited at a condition of 100W, 10mtorr exhibited a low electrical resistivity of 2.3.mu..ohm..cm and densed microstructure, poor adhesion. The Cu films grown by 200W, 20mtorr showed a good adhesion property and higher electrical resistivity of 7.mu..ohm..cm because of porous columnar microstructure. Therefore, The Cu films were deposited by double layer deposition method using RF magnetron sputtering on Si wafer. The dependence of the electrical resistivity, adhesion, and reflectance in the CU films [C $U_{4-d}$(low resistivity) / C $U_{d}$(high adhesion) / Si-wafer] on the thickness of d has been investigated. The films formed with this deposition methods had the low electrical resistivity of about 2.6.mu..ohm..cm and high adhesion of about 700g/cm.m.m.

Transparent and conducting Sb-doped $SnO_2$ thin films were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering technology. But it showed a serious damage phenomenon on the surface of as-deposited films. In order to avoid a damage caused in the substrate center and location facing to target erosion, a ring plate of masking glass was installed at 1.5 cm above target surface. The uniformity and electrical characteristic of $SnO_2$ thin films were evaluated by the control of optimal conditions in the magnetron sputtering operation such as rf power, sputtering gas pressure, and substrate temperature. In the experimental results using the operating conditions, the optimum temperature, which produced uniform and damageless films, shifted with the change of gas pressure. The rate was about $100^{\circ}C$/5 mTorr at rf power of 50 W Similarly, the optimum temperature in compensation for an increase of rf power shifted down to a proper rate.

AlN thin films were deposited on sapphire substrates and ZnO templates by rf-magnetron sputtering. Powder-sintered AlN target was adopted for source material. Thickness of AlN layer was linearly dependent on plasma power from 50 to 110 W, and it decreased slightly when working pressure increased from 3 to 10 mTorr due to short mean free path of source material sputtered from AlN target by Ar working gas. When $N_2$ gas was mixed with Ar, the thickness of AlN layer decreased significantly because of low sputter yield of nitrogen. AlN layer was also deposited on ZnO template. However, it showed weak thermal stability that the interface between AlN and ZnO was deteriorated by rapid thermal annealing treatment above $700^{\circ}C$. In addition, ZnO layer was largely attacked by MOCVD ambient gas of hydrogen and ammonia around $700^{\circ}C$ through inferior AlN layer deposited by sputtering. And AlN layers were fully peeled off above $900^{\circ}C$.

TO:F($SnO_{2}:F$) thin films were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering system. The dependence of their structural, electrical, and optical properties on deposition conditions such as substrate temperature, working pressure and power was studied. The optimum conditions of TO:F thin film are $SnF_{2}$ content of 15wt.% in target, RF power of 150W, substrate temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ and working pressure of 2mmTr. The resistivity and transmittance at 550nm in visible spectrum of the TO:F film deposited at optimum condition are $9{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and above 85%, respectively. For the films deposited from the target without $SnF_{2}$ and with 15wt.% $SnF_{2}$, the optical bandgaps calculated from the transmittance curves are 3.84 and 3.9eV, respectively. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that TO and TO:F films had tetragonal rutile structure with (101), (200) direction.

The heteroepitaxial ZnO thin film on sapphire (0001) substrate was prepared by an off-axis Radio Frequency(RF) magnetron sputtering. The crystallinity of ZnO thin film was affected by deposition pressure, RF power, and substrate temperature. High quality heteroepitaxial ZnO thin film was obtained when the kinetic energy of sputtered particles is well harmonized with the surface mobility. In the result of Photoluminescence(PL) of heteroepitaxial ZnO thin film, Ultraviolet(UV) emissions at 3.36 and 3.28 eV were observed at low(17 K) and Room Temperature(RT). respectively. As the ZnO thin film was annealed in O$_2$ambient, the crystallinity was improved while UV emission was drastically decreased.
