  • In this study, transparent and conductive Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films were prepared on a glass substrate by an radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method using a 150-nm-thick AZO target (Al: 2 wt.%) at room temperature. We investigated the effects of RF power between 100-350 W (in steps of 50 W) on the structural, electrical, and optical properties of the AZO films. The thickness and cross-sectional images of the films were observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The thicknesses of all films were kept constant at 150 nm and grown on a glass substrate. The grain sizes of the AZO films were determined with the X-ray diffraction by using the Scherrer' equation, and their electrical properties were investigated using a Hall effect electronic transport measurement system. The transmittance of the AZO films was also measured by an ultraviolet-visible spectrometer.

  • Indium nitride thin films were deposited by the radio-frequency reactive magnetron sputtering method. The indium target was sputtered by the mixture flow ratio of $N_2$ to Ar, 9:1. The effects of growth temperature on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of the films were investigated. With increasing the growth temperature, the crystallinity of the films was improved, and the crystalline size was increased. The energy bandgap for the film grown at $25^{\circ}C$ was 3.63 eV, and the bandgap showed an increasing tendency on the growth temperature. The carrier concentration, Hall mobility and electrical resistivity of the films depended significantly on the growth temperature and the maximum Hall mobility of $32.3\;cm^2$/Vsec was observed for the film grown at $400^{\circ}C$.

  • RF(radio-frequency) magnetron 스퍼터링 장치에 질소가스와 아르곤가스를 동시에 주입하면서 Ti 타켓을 스퍼터링하여 $TiN_x$ 박막을 유리기판위에 제작하였다. 박막제작시 RF power supply 출력을 240W로, 증착기 내부의 온도는 $200^{\circ}C$를 유지하였다. $TiN_x$ 박막은 알곤 가스를 20sccm으로 고정시킨 상태에서 질소를 3sccm부터 9sccm까지 변화시켜가며 증착시켰다. 이때 박막의 화학적 조성과 성분비를 분석하기 위하여 XPS를 사용하였다.

  • Radio-frequency (rf) 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 $SiO_2(2000{\AA})/Si$ 기판위에 TiN 박막이 증착되었다. $N_2/Ar$ 혼합가스에서 $N_2$ 가스의 농도, rf power, 공정압력 등을 변화시켜서 TiN 박막이 증착되었고 증착된 박막의 증착속도, 전기저항도 및 표면의 거칠기 등이 조사되었다. $N_2$ 가스의 농도가 증가함에 따라서 증착속도는 감소하였고 저항도는 증가하였으며 표면의 거칠기는 감소하였다. rf power가 증가함에 따라서 증착속도는 증가하였지만 저항도는 감소하였다. 증착압력의 증가에 따라서 증착속도는 큰 변화가 없었지만 저항도가 급격히 증가하였으며, 1 mTorr의 압력에서 $2.46{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$의 저항도를 갖는 TiN 박막이 얻어졌다. 박막의 증착속도와 저항도는 상관관계가 있는 것이 관찰되었고 특히 증착압력이 박막의 저항도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • Silicon carbide nanowires were grown by heat treatment of the films at $1200^{\circ}C$ after amorphous SiC thin films were deposited on graphite substrate by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at $600^{\circ}C$. It was confirmed that SiC nanowires with the diameter of 20-60 nm and length of about 50nm were grown from Field Emission Scanning Election Microscope (FE-SEM) and Transmission Election Microscope (TEM) observation. The diameter of nanowires was increased as heat treatment time is increased. The nanowires were identified to ${\beta}$-SiC single crystalline from X-Ray Diffraction(XRD) analysis. It was observed from this study that deposition temperature of samples was critical to the crystallization of nanowires. On the other hand, the effect of deposition time was insignificant.

  • 본 논문은 ZnO 분말 타겟을 스퍼터링하여 glass 기판 위에 증착한 ZnO 박막의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 보고한다. 소결된 ZnO ceramic target을 사용하는 보통의 radio-frequency magnetron sputtering과 달리 본 연구에서는 전처리과정이 필요하지 않은 ZnO 분말 target을 사용하였다. ZnO 박막은 wurtzite (0002) 우선배향면으로 성장하였다. 초기의 ZnO 박막은 매우 평평한 층구조로 증착되었고, 두께가 증가함에 따라 섬구조로 전이하였다. 400-1000 nm 광원에 대하여 평균 88% 이상의 광투과도를 나타내었으며, 220 nm 시편의 경우, 3.23 eV의 near bandedge emission 흡수단을 측정하였다.

  • Indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited on a glass slide at a thickness of 280 nm by radio frequency(rf) magnetron sputtering from a ceramic target composed of $In_2O_3\;(90\%)\;+\;SnO_2\;(10\%)$. We investigated the effects of the annealing temperature (Ta) between 200 and 350'E for 30 min in air on such properties as thermal stability, surface morphology, and crystal structure of the films. X-ray diffraction spectra revealed that all the films were oriented preferably with [222] direction and [440] direction and the peak intensity increased with increasing annealing temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the sodium was out-diffused from the glass substrate at the annealing temperature of $350^{\circ}C$. The sodium composition of the ITO film amlealed at $350^{\circ}C\;for\;30\;min\;was\;2.5\%$ at the surface. Also the sodium peak almost disappeared after 3 keV $Ar^+$sputtering for 6 min. The visible transmittance of all ITO films was over $77\%$.

  • The structural, optical, and electrical properties of ZnO thin films grown on glass by radio-frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering were investigated. The mixture flow ratio of $O_2$ to Ar, which was operated with sputtering gas, was chosen as a parameter for growing high-qualify ZnO thin films. The structural properties and surface morphologies of the thin films were characterized by the X-ray diffraction and the atomic force microscope, respectively. As for the optical properties of the films, the optical absorbance was measured in the wavelength range of 300-1100 nm by using UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The optical transmittance, absorption coefficient, and optical bandgap energy of ZnO thin films were calculated from the measured data. The crystallinity of the films was improved and the bandgap energy was increased from 3.08 eV to 3.23 eV as the oxygen flow ratio was increased from 0 % to 50 %. Furthermore, The ultraviolet and violet luminescences were observed by using photoluminescence spectroscopy. The hall mobility was decreased with the increase of oxygen flow ratio.
