상변화형 광디스크는 직접 반복기록에 의한 고속기록, 고밀도화가 가능하고 높은 전송속도, 재생신호의 C/N (carrier to noise) 비가 좋은 장점을 가지고 있으나 반복되는 열에너지에 의한 디스크의 변형과 소거도의 저하, 기록 반복성의 저하가 문제가 된다. 이러한 반복성의 저하를 개선하기 위해 적절한 디스크의 구조와 기록막의 상하부에 유전체 보호막인 ZnS-$SiO_2$ 박막층을 삽입하였다. 박막 제조시 많은 실험변수의 제어를 위해 다꾸찌 방법을 통하여 타겟 R.F. Power 200W, 기판 R.F. Power 20W, 아르곤 압력 4mTorr, 전극거리 6cm의 최적조건을 얻을수 있었다. TEM과 XRD분석 결과, 전극거리가 가까워질수록 높은 증착속도로 인하여 미세한 조직구조를 가지고 있으며, 일정거리 이상 가까워지면 막의 morphology에 나쁜 영향을 끼침을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 막의 morphology의 영향으로 투과율이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. AFM과 SEM분석에서는 전극거리가 가까워질수록 높은 증착속도로 인하여 morphology에 나쁜 영향을 끼치고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 최적조건에서 증착한 박막은 우수한 morphology를 가진 초미세구조의 치밀하고 결함이 없는 박막이었다. 이 박막은 상변화형 광디스크에서 열적 변형을 억제하고, 열전도를 감소시켜 우수한 유전체 보호피막의 역할을 할 수 있다. 그리고, 전극거리가 ZnS결정립의 크기와 증착속도, morphology에 미치는 영향에 대해 고찰하였다.

A thin film thermoelectric generator that consisted of 5 p/n pairs was fabricated with $1{\mu}m$-thick n-type $In_3Sb_1Te_2$ and p-type $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ deposited via radio frequency magnetron sputtering. First, $1{\mu}m$-thick GST and IST thin films were deposited at $250^{\circ}C$ and room temperature, respectively, via radio-frequency sputtering; these films were annealed from 250 to $450^{\circ}C$ via rapid thermal annealing. The optimal power factor was found at an annealing temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. To demonstrate thermoelectric generation, we measured the output voltage and estimated the maximum power of the n-IST/p-GST generator by imposing a temperature difference between the hot and cold junctions. The maximum output voltage and the estimated maximum power of the $1{\mu}m$-thick n-IST/p-GST TE generators are approximately 17.1 mV and 5.1 nW at ${\Delta}T=12K$, respectively.

Titanium nitride (TiN) thin films are widely used for hard coatings due to their superior hardness, chemical stability, low friction and good adhesion properties. In this study, we investigated the effect of DC power on the characteristics of TiN thin films deposited on Si and glass substrates by DC magnetron sputtering using TiN target. We made TiN films of 300 nm thickness with various DC powers. The structural properties of films are investigated by x-ray diffractions (XRD) and tribological properties are measured by nano-indentation, nano-scratch tester. The rms roughness was measured by atomic forced microscopy (AFM). In the result, TiN films had the smooth surface and exhibited (111) directions with the increase of DC Power. Also, especially in case of 175 W DC power, TiN film exhibited the maximum hardness about 8 GPa, and the critical load near 25.

As a result of the recent miniaturization an enhancement in the performance of thin film inductors and thin film transformers, there are increased demands for the thin films with high magnetic permeability in the high frequency range, high saturation magnetization, in high electrical resistivity, and low coercive force. In order to improve high frequency properties, we will investigate anisotropy field by shape and size of pattern. The Fe-Al-O thin films of 16mm and 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness were deposited on Si wafer, using RF magnetron reactive sputtering technique with the mixture of argon and oxygen gases. The fabricating conditions are obtained in the working partial pressure of 2mTorr, O$_2$ partial pressure of 5%, input power of 400W, and Al pellets on an Fe disk with purity of 99,9%. Magnetic properties of the continuous films as followed: the 4$\pi$M$\_$s/ of 19.4kG, H$\_$c/ of 0.6Oe, H$\_$k/ of 6.0Oe and effective permeability of 2500 up to 100㎒ were obtained. In this work, we expect to enhance effect of magnetic anisotropy on patterned of Fe-Al-O thin films.

Thin films of platinum were deposited on a $Al_{2}O_{3}/ONO(SiO_{2}-Si_{3}N_{4}-SiO_{2})/Si$-substrate with an 2-inch Pt(99.99 %) target at room temperature for 20, 30 and 60 min by DC magnetron sputtering, respectively X-ray diffract meter (XRD) was used to analyze the crystallanity of the thin films and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was employed for the investigation on crystal growth. The densification and the grain growth of the sputtered films have a considerable effect on sputtering time and annealing temperatures. The resistance of the Pt thin films was decreased with increasing deposition time and sintering temperature. Pt micro heater thin film deposited for 60 min by DC magnetron sputtering on an $Al_{2}O_{3}$/ONO-Si substrate and annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in air is found to be a most suitable micro heater with a generation capacity of $350^{\circ}C$ temperature and 645 mW power at 5.0 V input voltage. Adherence of Pt thin film and $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrate was also found excellent. This characteristic is in good agreement with the uniform densification and good crystallanity of the Pt film. Efforts are on progress to find the parameters further reduce the power consumption and the results will be presented as soon as possible.

The BON thin films were grown on the Si substrate by the RF-PECVD method. When stored at the room temperature, the phase separation or transition of BON thin films occurred on the surface, due to the hydrophilic property of BON. The oxidation of BON thin films occurred mainly by the evaporation of B, O and N. The oxidized BON thin films consisted of an amorphous phase and a bit of the polycrystalline phase.

Iron nitride alloy films prepared in the form of laminated ${(Fe_{97}Al_3)}_{85}N_{15}/Al_2O_3$ multilayers (Ml's) due to excellent soft magnetic properties and high saturation magnetization [1, 2] are very promising materials for poles and shields in ultra high density thin film heads. The present work concerns the ferromagnetic (FM) coupling effect as a function of the thickness of $Al_2O_3$ spacers by analysis of the magnetic domain structure.

Surface micromachined SiC devices have readily been fabricated from the polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC thin film which has an advantage of being deposited onto $SiO_2$ or $Si_3N_4$ as a sacrificial layer. Therefore, in this work, magnetron reactive ion etching process which can stably etch poly 3C-SiC thin films grown on $SiO_2$/Si substrate at a lower energy (70 W) with $CHF_3$ based gas mixtures has been studied. We have investigated the etching properties of the poly 3C-SiC thin film using PR/Al mask, according to $O_2$ flow rate, pressure, RF power, and electrode gap. The etched RMS (root mean square), etch rate, and etch profile of the poly 3C-SiC thin films were analyzed by SEM, AFM, and $\alpha$-step.

In this work, we investigated to the etching characteristics of $TiO_2$ thin film and the selectivity using the inductively coupled plasma system. The etch rate and the selectivity were obtained with various gas mixing ratios. The maximum etch rate of $TiO_2$ thin film was 61.6 nm/min. The selectivity of $TiO_2$ to TiN, and $TiO_2$ to $SiO_2$ were obtained as 2.13 and 1.39, respectively. The etching process conditions are 400 W for RF power, -150 V for DC-bias voltage, 2 Pa for the process pressure, and $40^{\circ}C$ for substrate temperature. The chemical states of the etched surfaces were investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Its analysis showed that the etching mechanism was based on the physical and chemical pathways in the ion-assisted physical reaction.
