In this paper, GaN films have been grown on SiO$_2$/Si(100) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. To obtain high quality GaN films, we used ZnO buffer layer and modified the process conditions. The charateristics of GaN films on RF power, substrate temperature and Ar/N$_2$gas ratio have been investigated by Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. At RF power 150W, substrate temperature 500 $^{\circ}C$ and Ar/N$_2$=1:2 gas ratio, we could grow high quality GaN films. Through the atomic force microscope and photoluminescence analysises, it was observed that the crystallization of GaN films was improved with increasing annealing temperature and the optimal crystallization of GaN films was found at 1100 $^{\circ}C$ annealing temperature.

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.

본 논문은 RF 마크네트론 스퍼터링 장비를 이용하여 ITO 유리에 N-type 및 P-type을 증착하였다. N-Type의 오믹접촉은 모든 조건에서 잘 되었다. 면저항은 RF Power가 증가할수록 면 저항이 증가되는 현상을 나타내었다. 증착한 박막의 표면을 분석해 본 결과, RF Power가 250W이고, 기판온도가 $250^{\circ}C$의 조건에서 입자가 균일하고 크기가 일정한 박막이 증착 된 것으로 측정되었다. P-Type은 모든 조건에서 오믹접촉이 잘 이루어졌으며 면저항은 RF Power가 증가할수록 증가되는 것으로 나타내었다. RF Power가 증가할수록 두께가 증가하고 안정화 된 것을 알 수가 있었다. PN junction 박막과 NP junction 박막은 스퍼터링 시간이 증가할수록 박막의 두께가 증가하고 안정화 된 것을 알 수가 있었다. PN junction 박막을 제작한 결과, 변환효율은 스퍼터링 시간이 10분일 때 0.2로 가장 우수하였다.

The adhesion enhancement from inserting a RF bias-sputtered Cr layer between Cu and polyimide (PI) has been studied. The RF bias power applied in this study was ranged from 0 to 400 W. Without the RF bias, the peel strength, which measures the adhesion strength, was nearly o g/mm. As the RF power was increased, the peel strength rose up to ~130 g/mm at 200 W, which remained constant with further increase of the RF bias power. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used to investigate the interfacial reaction between the Cr film and PI substrate during the bias sputtering. The Cr/PI interface without the application of RF dais showed a clean, sharp interface while the RF raised Cr/PI interface had about 10~30 nm thick atomistically mixed interlayer between the metal film and PI substrate. This interlayer appeared to have resulted from the implantation of high energy adatoms during the RF bias sputtering of Cr film. This mixed layer serves as an interlocking layer, which enhances adhesion between the metal and PI layers.

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.

Transparent $TiO_2$ nanotube arrays are successfully prepared by a two-step approach involving electrochemical anodization and RF magnetron sputtering. First, a Ti film is deposited on an FTO substrate by RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The morphologies of the Ti film are controlled by the working distance, Ar flow, and DC power. Second, an anodization treatment is electrochemically performed for the formation of nanotube arrays from the deposited Ti film, followed by post-annealing treatment in air for the formation of $TiO_2$ crystallization. The back side of the crystallized $TiO_2$ nanotube arrays is illuminated with solar light to characterize the photoelectrochemical reaction, and their photoelectrochemical properties are investigated. This work provides information on application of a thin film deposited by RF sputtering in the field of photoelectrochemical water splitting.

We investigated the characterizations of carbon films fabricated by dual magnetron sputtering under various RF powers for the improvement of physical properties in carbon fiber (CF). All sputtered carbon films exhibited amorphous structure, regardless of RF powers, resulting in uniform and smooth surfaces. The hardness and elastic modulus are increased with the increase of RF power, and the adhesion and friction properties of carbon films were improved with the increase of RF power. In the results, The increase of RF power in the sputtering method improved tribological properties of the carbon films, and these attributes can be expected to improve the physical properties of the carbon fiber reinforcement plastics.

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.
