Piezoelectric ZnO thin films were deposited on slide glass by Facing Targets Sputtering(FTS). The Facing Targets Sputtering system can deposit thin film in plasma-free situation and change the deposition condition in wide range. The characteristics of zinc oxide thin films on power, working pressure, and substrate temperature were investigated by XRD (x-ray diffractometer), alpha-step (Tencor) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) analyses. In the results, we suggest that FTS system is very suitable to preparing high quality ZnO thin films with good c-axis orientation.

The experimental study has been performed to deposit to deposit chromia powder on magnssium alloy for tribological and mechanical properties. The optimal condition was obtained by changing the spray condition such as working distance and gun power. As ceramics was coated onto the a light metal such as Mg according to the weight reduection of the car engine block, it could acquire that the engine efficiency deu to the weight reduction and properties such as resistance to heat, as well as wear. Coating qualities are discussed with respect to hardness, tribologicalproperty, and microstructure. The tribological and mechanical properties are investigated by using the reciprocal configuration tribometer and microharduess tester. Wear mode is determined by observing the SEM morhpology of wear track and cross section view of wear track.

Insulin stimulates glucose uptake in muscle and adipose cells primarily by recruiting GLUT4 from an intracellular storage pool to the plasma membrane. Dysfunction of this process known as insulin resistance causes hyperglycemia, a hallmark of diabetes and obesity. Thus the understanding of the mechanisms underlying this process at the molecular level may give an insight into the prevention and treatment of these health problems. GLUT4 in rat adipocytes, for example, constantly recycles between the cells surface and an intracellular pool by endocytosis and exocytosis, each of which is regulated by an insulin-sensitive and GLUT4-selective sorting mechanism. Our working hypothesis has been that this sorting mechanism includes a specific interaction of a cytosolic protein with the GLUT4 cytoplasmic domain. Indeed, a synthetic peptide of the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of GLUT4 induces an insulin-like GLUT4 recruitment when introduced in rat adipocytes. Relevance of these observations to a novel euglycemic drug design is discussed.

The Co-Cr-Ta films are one of the most suitable candidates for perpendicular magnetic recording media. The facing targets sputtering(FTS) system has a advantage of preparing films over a wide range of working gas pressure on plasma-free substrates. In this study, we investigated the effect underlayers on the growths layers of Co-Cr-Ta recording layers. The Co-Cr-Ta/Ti(CoCr) double layers were deposited with sputter gas pressure$(P_N, 0.3-1mTorr)$ by using FTS apparatus at temperature of$40^{\circ}C~-300^{\circ}C$, respectively. Crystallographic and magnetic characteristics were evaluated by x-ray diffractometry(XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM), respectively.

We prepared the AZO thin film with different $O_2$ gas flow rate. the AZO thin films were deposited on glass substrate at room temperature, working gas pressure of 1mTorr. the electrical, structural and optical properties of AZO thin films were investigated by using Hall Effect measurement system, X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) and UV-VIS spectrometer. From the results, we could obtain that AZO thin film with low resistivity of $8.5{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ was exhibited in specific $O_2$ gas flow rate. Also, the transmittance of over 80% in visible range was observed in specific $O_2$ gas flow rate. In all of the AZO thin film with the transmittance of over 80%, diffraction peak of (002) direction was observed, while amorphous peak was observed in the AZO thin film with the low transmittance.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have recently attracted great attention because of their excellent physical properties, such as high mechanical strength, thermal stability, and electronic properties. These useful properties of carbon nanotubes make themselves good candidates for various application field, such as a transistor, battery, field emission display, nanoscale inter-connects, and so on. Gas-phase techniques offer the unique ability to synthesize well-oriented arrays of CNTs. However, it is seldom reported that the pressure influences on the growth of CNTs under low substrate temperature. In this work, the effect of the working pressure and the influence of the catalyst preparation on the properties of CNTs grown by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) were investigated.

The ITO thin films were prepared by Facing Targets Sputtering(FTS) method on polyethersulfon(PES) substrate. The ITO thin films were deposited with the film thickness of 100nm at room temperature and working gas pressure of 1 mTorr. As a function of sputtering conditions, electrical and optical properties of prepared ITO thin films were evaluated by Hall Effect Measurement(EGK) and UV-VIS spectrometer(HP), respectively. From the results, the ITO thin films was deposited was with a resistivity $8.3{\times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}-cm]$ and transmittance over 80% in the visible range.

We prepared Co-Cr thin film for perpendicular magnetic recording media with facing targets sputtering system(FTS system) which can deposit a high quality thin film in plasma-free state and wide range of working pressure. The effect of sputtering conditions(argon gas pressure and substrate temperature) on the magnetic and the crystallographic characteristic of Co-Cr thin film was investigated. And the variation of perpendicular coercivity with the variation of film thickness was studied. As a result we obtained the high perpendicular coercivity of 1900Oe and the good dispersion angle of c-axis($\Delta$$\theta$$_{50}$) of 5$^{\circ}$on the film thickness of 100nm for the promising recording layer of perpendicular magnetic recording media.c recording media.a.
