The heating produced by the absorption of radiofrequency (RF) has been considered a secondary undesirable effect during MRI procedures. In this work, we have measured the power absorbed by distilled water, glycerol and egg-albumin during NMR and non-NMR experiments. The samples are dielectric and examples of different biological materials. The samples were irradiated using the same RF pulse sequence, whilst the magnetic field strength was the variable to be changed in the experiments. The measurements show a smooth increase of the thermal power as the magnetic field grows due to the magnetoresistive effect in the copper antenna, a coil around the probe, which is directly heating the sample. However, in the cases when the magnetic field was the adequate for the NMR to take place, some anomalies in the expected thermal powers were observed: the thermal power was higher in the cases of water and glycerol, and lower in the case of albumin. An ANOVA test demonstrated that the observed differences between the measured power and the expected power are significant.

Indium doped zinc oxide films (ZIO) were deposited on non-alkali glass substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The structural, electrical and optical properties of the ZIO films were investigated as a function of their $In_2O_3$ content (3.33-15.22 wt%). The ZIO films deposited with an $In_2O_3$ content of 9.54 wt% showed a relatively low resistivity of $9.13{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and a highly c-axis preferred orientation. The grain size and FWHM were mainly affected by the $In_2O_3$ content. The crystallinity and resistivity were enhanced with increasing grain size. The average transmittance of the ZIO films was over 85% in the visible region and their band gap varied from 3.22 to 3.66 eV depending on their doping ratio.

In this paper, BST((Bao.&o,dTi0:3) thin films were deposited by the rf magnetron sputtering method on Pt/$SiO_2$/Si substrate. Pt, $RuO_2$, Ag, Cu films for the formation of top electrode were deposited on BST thm films. And then Top Electrodes/BST/Pt capacitors were annealed with rapid thermal annealing(RTA) at various temperature. We have investigated effect of post-annealing on the electrical properties such as dielectric constant and leakage current of the capacitors. It was found that electrical properties of the capacitors were greatly depended on the annealing temperatures as well as the materials of top electrodes. In BST thin films with Pt top electrode was annealed at $700^{\circ}C$. the dielectric constant was measured to the value of 346 at l[kHzl and the leakage current was obtained to the value of $8.76\times10^8$[A/$\textrm{cm}^2$] at the forward bias of 2[V].

태양전지에서 SiNX층은 반사방지막 역할과 표면 페시베이션의 역할을 동시에 하고 있다. SiNx에서 굴절율과 두께는 반사율과 밀접한 관계가 있으며 동시에 표면 소수캐리어 수명에도 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서 굴절율과 두께를 조절하여 낮은 반사도와 긴 소수캐리어 수명을 가지는 SiNx 박막을 제조하여야 우수한 효율의 태양전지를 제조할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 굴절율과 두께의 SiNx 박막을 결정질 실리콘 태양전지에 적용하여 효율과의 상관관계를 해석하였다. SiNx 박막은 PECVD장비를 이용하여 RF파워, 가스혼합량, 증착시간 등을 각각 변화시키며 형성하였다. RF 파워는 100~500 W로 변화 시켰고 혼합가스 변화는 SiH4가스와 NH3가스, Ar가스를 각각 주입하며 증착하였다. RF 파워 300W, 가스혼합량 SiH4 90sccm, NH3 26sccm, Ar 99sccm과 기판 온도 $300^{\circ}C$, 공정시간 58초에서 포면 반사율 1.09%와 굴절률 1.965, 두께 76nm를 갖는 SiNx층을 형성 할 수 있었다. SiNx층을 증착하여 셀을 제작한 결과, 개방전압: 0.612V, 전류밀도: 38.49 mA/cm2, 충실도: 75.62%, 효율: 17.82%를 얻을 수 있었다.

The characteristics of interface layer and the effect of bias voltages on the nucleation density and heteroepitaxial growth of diamond films were studied in the hot filament CVD diamond process. Diamond films were deposited on a high speed steel (SKH-51) substrate by bias-assisted hot filament CVD technique with a titanium interlayer. The bias applied for enhancing the emission of electrons from the filament increased the nucleation density and achieving heteroepitaxial growth of CVD diamond. Diamond films obtained at a gas pressure of 20 torr; a bias voltage of 200 V and a substrate temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. Titanium was a suitable element as an interlayer for the diamond deposition on steel because it has high diffusivity of Fe and C as a carbide forming element.

The Sr based ceramic thin films were deposited on Si substrate by RF magnetron sputtering method. And Sr based thin films were annealed at $500{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ using RTA. The surface roughness showed about 2.4 nm in annealed thin film at $600^{\circ}C$. The capacitance density of Sr based thin films were increased with the increase of annealing temperature. The maximum capacitance density of $0.6{\mu}F/cm^2$ was obtained by annealing temperature at $700^{\circ}C$. The voltage dependence of dielectric loss showed about 0.02 in voltage ranges of -10~+10 V. The leakage current density of annealing temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ was the $4.0{\times}10^{-6}\;A/cm^2$ at applied voltage of -5~+5 V.

Ferroelectric $LiNbO_3$ thin films were grown directly on Si(100) substrates by 13.55MHz RF magnetron sputtering system using a ceramic target ($Nb_2O_5/Li_2C0_3$ = 51.4/48.6). Because high temperature process have to avoided to prevent degradation of the interface (insulator/Si), $LiNbO_3$ thin films were deposited below $300^{\circ}C$. After as-deposited films were performed RTA treatments in an oxygen ambient at $600^{\circ}C$ for 60s, electrical measurements performed films before and after anneal treatment. In high field region, the leakage current density of the films after annealing was deceased about 4order and the resistivity of these was increased to about 5\times 10^{11} \Omega \cdot cm$ at 500kV/cm. In accumulation region of C-V curve, we calculated dielectric constant of thin film $LiNbO_3$ as 27.9 which is close to that of bulk value.

The .mu.c-Si:H films have been deposited by PeCVD at the various conditions such as hydrogen dilution ratio, substrate temperature and RF power density. Then, we studied their electrical and optical properties. Top gate hydrogenated micro-crystalline silicon thin film transistors($\mu$c-Si:H TFTs) using $\mu$-Si:H and a-SiN:H films have been fabricated by FECVD. The electrical characteristics of the devices have been investigated by semiconductor parameter analyzer and compared with amorphous silicon thin film transistors (a-Si:H TFTs). In this study, on/off current ratio, threshold voltage and the field effect mobility of the $\mu$c-Si:H TFT were $3{\times}10^{4}$, 5.06V and 0.94cm$^{2}$Vs, respectively.

Aluminum oxide films directly grown on n-type 6H-SiC(0001) substrates were fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering system. Metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) C-V properties with aluminum oxide thin films showed hysteresis and f1at band voltage shift. The dielectric constant of the film calculated from the capacitance at the accumulation region was about 5. Typical gate leakage current density of film at room temperature was the order of $10^{-9}\;A/cm^2$ at the range of within 2MV/cm. The breakdown did not occur at the film within the measurement range.

최근 ZnO는 무독성, 저가격, 수소 플라즈마에 대한 내구성 및 열적 안정성 등의 활발히 연구되고 있으며, III족 원소(Al, Ga, In) 불순물을 도핑하여 전기적 성질의 열적 불안정성을 해결하고 전기적 성질을 향상 시키고 또한 밴드갭 에너지가 3.3 eV 이상으로 증가하여 가시광선 영역에서 광투과율이 높은 투명도 전성 재료를 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 RF Magnetron Sputtering을 이용하여 내열성과 광학적 측면에서 우수한 성능을 가지는 PES 기판에 표면 에너지를 높이고 치밀한 구조의 박막을 증착하기 위해서 $O_2$ 플라즈마 처리를 하여 ZnO계 투명 전도막을 제작함으로써 투명전극에서 요구하는 $10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ 이하의 낮은 비저항과 80% 이상의 광투과율을 가지는 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. PES 기판 위에 고밀도 $O_2$ 플라즈마를 이용하여 전 처리를 실시한 후 4인치의 Al-doped ZnO(ZnO 98 wt% : $Al_2O_3$ 2 wt%), AZO의 타겟을 이용하여 상온에서 RF Magnetron Sputtering 법으로 AZO 박막을 증착하였다. PES 기판상의 AZO 박막 두께가(100~400nm) 증가함에 따라 캐리어 농도와 홀 이동도가 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 박막 두께가 증가할수록 면저항과 비저항은 감소하며 결정립 크기가 커지고 결정입계에서 산란이 줄어들기 때문에 전기적 특성이 개선된 것으로 판단된다. 고밀도 $O_2$ 플라즈마 표면처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 플라스틱 기판의 결합에너지와 부착력이 증가하여 AZO 박막의 결정립 크기를 증가시키며, 접촉각은 감소하였다. 또한 급속열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 전기적 특성과 광학적 특성이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 제작된 AZO 박막은 급속열처리 시간 10분에서 온도 $200^{\circ}C$일 때, 캐리어 농도 $2.32{\times}10^{21}cm^{-3}$, 홀 이동도 $4.3cm^{-2}/V$로 가장 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 가장 낮은 비저항 $1.07{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$과 가시광 영역(300 nm ~ 1100 nm)에서의 AZO 박막의 광 투과율은 약 86%를 얻을 수 있었다.
