Herein, we have fabricated an ultrathin aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$) coated PP separator by using a RF sputter deposition process. Approximately 20 nm thickness coating layer on the bare PP separator was formed at the power of 55 W for 2 minutes without thermal damage. Whereas only permeability of the coated separator was degraded slightly, other properties such as thermal stability, uptake amount of liquid electrolyte, and ionic conductivity were improved comparing to the bare PP separator. As a result, an only 20-nm-thick $Al_2O_3$ coating layer could improve the rate capability compared with a bare PP separator under a high current density.

고주파 마그네트론 스퍼터법을 이용한 YIG(yttrium iron garnet)박막 제조시 기판유형, 기판온도, 스퍼터전력, 스퍼터가스 등의 증착변수와 증착후 열처리 조건이 YIG 박막의 결정성, 화학조성, 미세구조 그리고 자기적 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 75$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 수행한 증착후 열처리에 의하여 비정질 박막이 결정화되었으며, 특히 GGG(gadolinium gallium garnet)기판 위에 제조된 박막은 강한 (111)우선배향성을 나타냈다. 박막조성은 스퍼터가스 내의 산소분율에 민감하게 영향을 받았으며, 산소분율이 20%인 스퍼터가스를 사용하여 제조된 박막은 Y2.88Fe3.84O12의 조성을 나타내었다. 증착후 열처리 온도가 90$0^{\circ}C$로부터 110$0^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라, GGG 기판위의 박막의 표면거칠기는 2.5nm에서 40nm로 증가하였으며, 보자력과 강자성 공명 선폭은 감소하였다.

TiO$_2$thin films for humidity sensors have been deposited by RF magnetron sputter and hygroscopic characteristics were investigated. Grain diameter of thin films were increased and hygroscopic characteristics were good as discharge power. Hygroscopic characteristics of thin films heated for 15 min at 500$^{\circ}C$ were better and more linear than that at 400$^{\circ}C$ and were unchanged as Ar flow rate.

PTCRl(positive temperature coefficient of resistivity) thermistors in the thin file BaTiO$_3$ system were deposited by radio frequency (13.56 MHz) and dc radio frequency (13.56MHz) and dc magnerton sputter equipment. R-T(resistivity -temperature) properties was investigated as a function of substrate and the temperature variation. The specimens make a comperison between the thin films and the bulk in the resistivity variation. Substrate temperature. deposition time. and forward power are deposited at the 400$^{\circ}C$, 10 hours, and 210 watt. respectively. The aim of this work is to obtain lower than bulk specimen resistivity in thin films BaTiO$_3$ system thermistor by RF/DC magnetron sputter equipment.

A surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter structure was fabricated employing $4{\mu}m$ thick nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) and $2.2{\mu}m$ thick ZnO films on Si wafer. The NCD film was deposited in an $Ar/CH_4$ gas mixture by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition method. The ZnO film was formed over the NCD film in an RF magnetron sputter using ZnO target and $Ar/O_2$ gas. On the top of the two layers, copper film was deposited by the RF sputter and inter digital transducer (IDT) electrode pattern (line/space : $1.5/1.5{\mu}m$) was defined by the photolithography including a lift-off etching process. The fabricated SAW filter exhibited the center frequency of 1.66 GHz and the phase velocity of 9,960 m/s, which demonstrated that a giga Hertz SAW filter can be realized by utilizing the nanocrystalline diamond thin film.

In2O3 계열의 산화물 전도성 투명 전극은 최근 디스플레이, 태양전지 등 전자산업에서 중요한 소재로 전 세계적으로 많이 연구되고 있다. 또한 3.6 eV의 wide bandgap을 가짐으로서 센서 등의 반도체 소자로의 응용가능성이 매우 큰 것으로 알려져 있다. 기존의 연구는 In2O3에 SnO2, Al2O3, Ga2O3 등을 혼합하여 화합물 형태의 투명전극 소재를 개발하고, 전도성 및 투과율 등을 개선시키는데 초점이 맞춰져왔다. 최근에 들어서 나노스케일 물질의 제조 기술 개발로 낮은 차원의 In2O3 나노구조는 센서나 발광다이오드와 같은 전자기기의 제작을 위해서 연구 되었는데, 본 논문에서는 Carbon을 doping하여 p-형 반도체로의 응용 가능성을 고찰하였다. 본 논문에서는 In2O3:C 박막을 radio-frequency magnetron sputtering 방법으로 sapphire(0001) 기판위에 증착하였다. 통상적으로 ceramic target에 carbon을 혼합하여 sintering하여 제작한 ceramic target 대신, In2O3 powder와 CNT를 혼합하여 powder형태의 sputter target을 사용하였다. 박막의 증착 초기에는 매우 평평한 층구조로 성장하였고, 박막의 두께가 증가함에 따라 섬조직이 생성되기 시작하여 표면거칠기가 매우 크게 증가하였다. 박막의 두께가 500 nm 이상이 되면 나노 피라미드가 생성되는데, 이는 In2O3의 결정구조에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.

The life of AC PDP depends largely on the sputtering-resistant property of the protecting layer such as MgO thin-film. However, it is very difficult to measure the sputtering-resistant property in the stable driving conditions of AC PDP. In this paper we have suggested a high speed measurement technique of the sputtering-resistant property of MgO thin-film by applying the MgO thin-film as the target of RF magnetron sputtering system. We have also applied this method to the e-beam MgO and sputter-MgO and e-beam MgO superior to sputter-MgO 3 times over. Also, the relation of Xe gas partial pressure(X) and sputtered thickness(Y) was Y=3.4X+13.5.

In this study, $Al_xTa_{1-x}$(x=0.0∼1.0) alloy thin films were grown by RF-Magnetron sputtering system, and the structural, mechanical and electrical properties of samples were examined by 4-point probe, XRD, AFM and micro-Vickers hardness profiler. The electrical resistivity was maximum and the crystal quality was optimum for the samples with Al content x=0.245 (Al 24.5 at.%). Regarding the surface hillock formation, the hillock density decreased with an increase of Al content for the low Al content range, and the hillock was eliminated for the sample with Al=24.5 at.%. The hillock density increased with the further increase of Al content. The high values of micro-Vickers hardness were obtained for the samples with x=0.2∼0.45. The results obtained demonstrate that the crystal quality, electrical resistivity, surface morphology and micro-hardness are closely inter-related, and that the optimum physical properties are obtained for the sample with x=0.245.

Sputter deposition followed by surface treatment was studied using reactive RF plasma as a method for preparing titanium oxide $(TiO_2)$ films on the FTO $(SnO_2: F)$ substrate for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Anatase structure $TiO_2$ films deposited by reactive RF magnetron sputtering under the conditions of $Ar/O_2(5%)$ mixtures, RF power of 600W and substrate temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ were surface-treated by inductive coupled plasma (ICP) with $Ar/O_2$ mixtures at substrate temperature of $400^{\circ}C$, and thus the films were applied to the DSCs. We have chosen a solar cell width as a variable of a large-scaled DSCs and confirmed electric characteristics of an individual cell. As a result, the higher the internal resistance of DSC becomes, the wider the width gets. Internal resistance makes it difficult to collect photoelectron generated from dye. Ultimately up sizing DSC causes the increase of internal resistance and then has a bad effect on the cell characteristics.
