The objective of this study Is to deposited the preparation of SrTiO$_3$3 dielectric thin films on Ag/barrier-mater/Si(N-type 100) bottom electrode using a conventional rf-magnetron sputtering technique with a ceramic target under various conditions. It is demonstrated that the leakage current of films are strongly dependent on the atmosphere during deposition and the substrate temperature. The resistivity properties of films deposited on silicon substrates were very high resistivity. Capacitance of the films properties were the highest value(1000pF) and dependent on substrate temperature.

In this study, Spiral inductors on the $SiO_2$/Si(100) substrate were fabricated by the magnetron sputtering method. Cu thin film with the thickness of 2 ${\mu}m$ was deposited on the substrate. Also we fabricated square inductors through the wet chemical etching technique. The inductors are completely specified by the turn width and the spacing between spirals. Both the width and spacing between spirals were varied from 10 to 60 ${\mu}m$ and from 20 to 70 ${\mu}m$, respectively. Inductance and Q factor dependent on the RF frequency were investigated to analyze performance of inductor arrays. Also, We recommend that the reasonable Q-factors, spec's turns and thickness of the coil for inductors cab be set to be ideal condition.

The layered BaTiO3 thin films with a high dielectric constant of polycrystalline BaTiO3 and a good in-sulating property of amorphous BaTiO3 were prepared. And their electrical properties were characterized with stacking methods. The BaTiO3 thin films were prepared by rf-magnetron sputtering technique using a ceramic target on Indium-doped Tin oxide coated glasses. A new stacking method resulted in higher dielec-tric constant, capacitance per unit area, and breakdown strength than those prepared by a conventional stacking method; the new method continuously decrease the substrate temperature after initial deposition of a polycrystalline BaTiO3 layer. The observed high dielectric constant could be explained only by a mul-tilayered amorphous/microcrystalline/polycrystalline structure, which was confirmed indirectly by AES depth profile.

Magnesium thin films were prepared on cold-rolled steel substrates by RF(Radio Frequency) magnetron sputtering technique.$^{1)}$ The crystal orientation and monitoring of the deposited films were investigated by using XRD(X-ray Diffraction) and EIS(Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy), respectively. The corrosion rates of Mg thin films deposited with different argon gas pressure and substrate bias voltage were monitored by AC impedance method under a cyclic wet-dry condition, which was conducted by exposure to alternate conditions of 1h immersion in 3%NaCl solution and 5h drying at 60% RH and 25$^{\circ}C$. The result of corrosion rate of Mg thin films deposited at various Ar gas pressures and substrate bias voltage under wet-dry cyclic exposure in chloride-containing solutions was showed the following conclusions. At the region I during the onset of the wet cycle, corrosion rate showed relatively low value. The increase in the Corrosion rate of region II is due to the increase in the chloride concentration. Corrosion rate of region III during the onset of the cycle zero and salt crystals remain on the metal surface.$^{2)}$

Ternary B-C-N coatings were deposited on Si(100) wafer substrate from $B_4C$ target by RF magnetron sputtering technique in $Ar+N_2+CH_4$ gas mixture. In this work, the effect of reactant gas ratio, $CH_4/(N_2+CH_4)$ on the composition, kinds and amounts of bonding states comprising B-C-N coatings were investigated using two different bias power sources of continuous and unipolar DCs. In addition, the tribological properties of coatings were studied with the composition and bonding state of coating. It was found that the substrate bias power had an effect on chemical composition, and all of the obtained coatings were nearly amorphous. Main bonding states of coatings were revealed from FTIR analyses to be h-BN, C-C, C-N, and B-C. The amount of C-C bonging mainly increased with increase of the reactant gas ratio. From our studies, both C-C and h-BN bonding states improved the tribological properties but B-C one was found to be harmful on those. The best coating from tribological points of view was found to be $BC_{1.9}N_{2.3}$ composition.

Transparent conducting gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO) thin films which were deposited on Corning glass substrate using an Gun-type rf magnetron sputtering deposition technology. The GZO thin films were fabricated with an GZO ceramic target (Zn : 97[wt%], $Ga_2O_3$ : 3[wt%]). The GZO thin films were deposited by varying the growth conditions such as the substrate temperature, oxygen pressure. Among the GZO thin films fabricated in this study, the one formed at conditions of the substrate temperature of 200[$^{\circ}C$], Ar flow rate of 50[sccm], $O_2$ flow rate of 5[sccm], rf power of 80[W] and working pressure of 5[mtorr] showed the best properties of an electrical resistivity of $2.536{\times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}{\cdot}cm]$, a carrier concentration of $7.746{\times}10^{20}[cm^{-3}]$, and a carrier mobility of 31.77[$cm^2/V{\cdot}S$], which indicates that it could be used as a transparent electrode for thin film transistor and flat panel display applications.

Superconducting four-element patch array antenna was designed and fabricated using $high-T_{c}$ superconducting (HTS) thin film. The array antenna has single-feed circularly polarization and a resonance frequency of 11.85 GHz fur satellite communication system. To fabricate this antenna $YBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{7-x}$(YBCO) superconducting thin films were deposited using rf-magnetron sputtering technique. Sequential rotation technique based on radiation elements($0^{\circ}$ , $90^{\circ}$, 1$80^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$ phase delay) was utilized to achieve circularly polarization. Simulated and measured results, the analysis on resonant frequency(fr), return loss, and bandwidth are presented. The results show that 10 dB return loss bandwidth of the array antenna is 11.04 GHz~12.59 GHz (13.15%) and 3dB axial ratio bandwidth is 11.42~12.52 GHz (9.2%).).).

The etching characteristics of magnetic thin films of permalloy and Fe-based alloys are investigated. The thin films are fabricated by rf magnetron sputtering and the substrates used are silicon and glass. Etching is done by ion beam technique and the main process parameters investigated are beam voltage, beam current and accelerating voltage. The etch rate of the magnetic films is proportional to the beam current, but it is not directly related to the accelerating voltage and beam voltage. The dependence of etch rate on the process parameters can be explained by ion current density. It is found that the ion beam etching is effective in obtaining well-developed micro-patterns on the permalloy and Fe- based magnetic thin films.

The RF planar magnetron sputtering technique was used to fabricate uniform ZnO/$SiO_2$/Si thin films at high growth rate. A detailed crystallographic character of these thin films has been carried oct using XRD, XRC, and SEM. These thin films have the configuration of c-axis orientation perpendicular to $SiO_2$/ Si substrate. The dependence of the thickness of ZnO/$SiO_2$/Si films on applied RF power parameters was also investigated. The crystallinity of films was improved as the substrate temperature was high, RF input power increased, and Ar/$O_2$ ratio decreased. Also, most of ZnO films fabricated on $SiO_2$/Si were suitable for SAW filter since a standard deviation of XRC (002) peak was less than $6^{\circ}$. The presence of the $SiO_2$ layer has a beneficial effect on the crystalline quality of the grown ZnO films.
