The role of gas ratio with the crystallization behavior and electrical properties in $Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$(BLT) thin films by rf magnetron sputtering method has not been precisely defined. In this work, the ferroelectric properties of these films with gas variation was investigated. BLT thin films were deposited on the Pt/Ti bottom electrode by rf magnetron sputtering method and then they were crystallized by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The experiment showed that all BLT films indicated perovskite polycrystalline structure with preferred orientation (020) and (0012). And no pyrochlore phase was observed. The fabricated film annealed with $O_2$ of 15 sccm showed that value of leakage current was $9.67{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ at 50kV /em, and the value of remanent polarization (2Pr=Pr+-Pr-) was $11.8{\mu}C/cm^2$. Therefore we induce access to memory device application by rf-magnetron sputtering method in this report.

We have studied the structural, optical and electrical properties of IGZO thin films. The IGZO thin films were deposited on the silicon wafer by RF magnetron sputtering method. The RF power in sputtering process was varied as 15W, 30W, 45W, 60W, 75W, respectively. All of the thin films transmittance in the visible range was above 85%. XRD analysis showed that amorphous structure of the thin films without any peak. The Hall measurements in the low RF power is the high mobility above $10cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ and the low resistvity are obtained in the IGZO thin films.

IGZO transparent conductive thin films were widely used as transparent electrode of optoelectronic devices. We have studied the optical and electrical properties of IGZO thin films. The IGZO thin films were deposited on the corning 1737 glass by RF magnetron sputtering method. The RF power in sputtering process was varied as 25, 50, 75and 100 W, respectively. All of the thin films transmittance in the visible range was above 85%. XRD analysis showed that amorphous structure of the thin films without any peak. The thin films were electrically characterized by high mobility above $13.4cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, $7.0{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$ high carrier concentration and $6{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}-cm$ low resistivity. By the studies we found that IGZO transparent thin film can be used as transparent electrodes in electronic devices.

The 2 wt.% Al-doped ZnO(AZO) thin films were fabricated on PET substrates with various RF power 20, 35, 50, 65, and 80W by using RF magnetron sputtering in order to investigate the structure, electrical and optical properties of AZO thin films in this study. The XRD measurements showed that AZO films exhibit c-axis orientation. At a RF power of 80W, the AZO films showed the highest (002) diffraction peak with a FWHM of 0.42. At a RF power of 65W, the lowest electrical resistivity was about $1.64{\times}[10]$ ^(-4) ${\Omega}-cm$ and the average transmittance of all films including substrates was over 80% in visible range. Good transparence and conducting properties were obtained due to RF power control. The obtained results indicate that it is acceptable for applications as transparent conductive electrodes.

We have fabricated Ti metal films on Cu wire substrates by using a RF magnetron sputtering method at different RF powers (0, 30 and 60 W) in a high vacuum, and we have investigated the thin film characteristics and resistivity. The ion bombardment effect is increased by the method to superimpose RF power to DC power applied to two poles of the base; thus, the thin film is deposited at sputtering gas pressures below 1 Pa. Moreover, the thin film formation of the multilayer structure becomes possible by gradually injecting the RF power, and the thin film quality is improved.

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.

Recently, the growth of ZnO thin film on glass substrate has been investigated extensively for transparent thin film transistor. We have studied the phase transition of ZnO thin films from metal to semiconductor by changing RF power in the deposition process by RF magnetron sputtering system. The structural, electric, and optical properties of the ZnO thin films were investigated. The film deposited with 75 watt of RF power showed n-type semiconductor characteristic having suitable resistivity $-3.56\;{\times}\;10^{+1}\;{\Omega}cm$, carrier concentration $-2.8\;{\times}\;10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$, and mobility $-0.613\;cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ while other films by 25, 50, 100 watt of RF power closed to metallic films. From the surface analysis (AFM), the number of crystal grain of ZnO thin film increased as RF power increased. The transmittance of the film was over 88% in the visible region regardless of the change in RF power.

ZnO:Ga thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering technique from ZnO (3 wt.% $Ga_2O_3$) target onto glass substrates under various RF power. The influence of RF power on the structural, electrical, and optical properties of ZnO:Ga thin films was investigated by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, Hall method and optical transmission spectroscopy. As the RF power increases from 50 to 110W, the crystallinity is deteriorated, the root main square surface roughness is decreased and the sheet resistance is increased. The increase of sheet resistance is caused by decreasing carrier concentration due to interstitial Ga ion. All films are transparent up to 80% in the visible wavelength range and the adsorption edge is a red-shift with increasing RF power.
