A new approach is described for preparing AlN thin films containing various amounts of Co content by using a two-facing targets type sputtering (TFTS) system. The deposited films were annealed isothermally at different temperatures and their microstructure, magnetic properties and resistivity were investigated. A small saturation magnetization ($4{\pi}Ms=0.52{\sim}0.85kG$) was observed irrespective of Co content in the asdeposited films. It was found that annealing conditions can control physical properties as well as the microstructure of the films. A high saturation magnetization (3.7 kG) and resistivity of $2200{\mu}{\Omega}-cm$ was obtained for AlN films containing 25 at.% Co.

An oxidized surface layer was intentionally formed on a sputtered $MoS_2$ film by introducing oxygen gas in the final stage of sputtering process. The film showed longer life than the normal Ar-sputtered film when the surface layer was slightly oxidized. A XPS analysis revealed co-existence of $MoS_2$ and $MoO_3$ in the surface layer. suggesting that the existence of some amount of oxides in the surface layer had beneficial effect. A confusing result was obtained: the life was much shorter than normal Ar-sputtered film when the film was exposed to $O_2$ environment for 1 minute after normal Ar-sputtering, although almost no oxide was detected in XPS analysis.

Microwave용 GaAs MESFET 소자에 적용가능한 Schottky 접합구조로서 Au/Nb/WNx(Si) 다층박막의 특성을 평가하였다. WNx 증착시 co-sputtering에 의하여 첨가된 실리콘은 열처리 과정 동안 GaAs/Schottky 계면으로 확산되며 이 과정은 sputtering damage의 회복이 활성화되는 $700^{\circ}C$이상에서 활발해진다. 계면으로 축적된 실리콘은 Ga와 As의 유효한 확산 경로를 차단함으로서 Ga의 확산으로 인한 GsAs 내의 carrier 농도 증가를 최소화 할 수 있어서 WNx와 같은 Schottky 접합재료의 열적 안정특성의 향상을 기대할 수 있다. Au/Nb의 층을 적층시 Nb는 탈탈륨 등의 고융점 금속과 같이 sacrificial 형태의 확산방지막으로 작용하여 열적으로 안정하며 microwave용 소자에서 요구되는 낮은 비저항치(-10-5$\Omega$-cm)를 유지할 수 있다.

ZnO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and then diffused by using an As source in the ampouletube. Also, the ZnO p-n homojunction was made by using As-doped ZnO thin films, and its properties were analyzed. After the As doping, the surface roughness increased, the crystal quality deteriorated, and the full width at half maximum was increased. The As-doped ZnO thin films showed typical p-type properties, and their resistivity was as low as $2.19{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$, probably because of the in-diffusion from an external As source and out-diffusion from the GaAs substrate. Also, the ZnO p-n junction displayed the typical rectification properties of a p-n junction. Therefore, the As diffusion method is effective for obtaining ZnO films with p-type properties.

Nanoporous gold (NPG) is a very promising material in various fields such as sensor, actuator, and catalysis because of its high surface to volume ratio and conducting nature. In this study, we fabricated a NPG based amperometric sensor on a glass substrate by means of co-sputtering of Au and Si. During the sputtering process, we found the optimum conditions for heat treatment to reduce the residual stress and to improve adhesion between NPG films and the glass substrate. Subsequently, Si was selectively etched from Au-Si alloy by KOH solution, which forms nanoporous structures. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and auger electron spectroscopy (AES) were used to estimate the structure of NPG films and their composition. By employing appropriate heat treatments, we could make very stable NPG films. We tested the performance of NPG sensor with aniline molecules, which shows high sensitivity for sensing low concentration of aniline.

Electrochemically active lithium nickel cobalt oxide thin-film was not fabricated until now. The thin-film was deposited by RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature, and its initial phase was amorphous. By varying deposition condition, the different characteristics of thin-film were achieved. Using electrochemical analyses, the relationship between physical and electrochemical characteristics was identified. Crystallized thin-film by RTA (Rapid Thermal Annealing) was shown a good capacity and cycle property.

ITO 박막의 전기 광학적 특성을 향상시키기 위해 열처리 공정은 필수적이다. 하지만 향후 발전시켜나갈 플렉서블 디스플레이(flexible display)에서는 ITO를 저온에서 증착해야 할 필요성이 대두되었고, 이에 따라 기판의 온도를 상온으로 유지하면서 고품질의 ITO 박막을 제조하고자 하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 상온에서 유리 기판 위에 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링(magnetron sputtering) 장치의 자기장 분포를 제어하여 ITO 박막을 증착하였다. 제작된 시편의 두께와 투과도 및 이동도를 측정 비교하였다.

Transparent conducting aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films have been deposited on corning 1737 glass by DC magnetron sputter. The structural, electrical and optical properties of the films were investigated as a function of various substrate temperatures. AZO thin films were fabricated by dc magnetron sputtering with AZO ceramic target $(Al_2O_3: 2wt %)$. The obtained films were poly crystalline with a hexagonal wurtzite structure and preferentially oriented in the (002) crystallographic direction. The lowest resistivity is $6.0{\times}10^{-4}$ Ocm with the carrier concentration of $2.694{\times}10^{20}\;cm^{-3}$ and Hall mobility of $20.426cm^2/Vs$. The average transmittance in the visible range was above 90%.
