Phase intergrowth some kinds of the $Bi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$ phases is observed in the thin film fabrication at ultralow co-deposition with multi targets by means of ion beam sputtering. The molar fraction of the Bi2212 phase in the mixed crystal of the grown films is investigated as a function of the applied ozone pressure and the substrate temperature. The activation energy for the phase transformation from the Bi2201 to the Bi2212 is estimated in terms of the Avrami equation. This study reveals that the formation of a liquid phase contributes significantly to the construction of the Bi2212 phase in the thin films, differing from the bulk synthesis.

Recently, low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology has gained a remarkable application potential in sensors, actuators and micro systems fields because of its very good electrical and mechanical properties, high reliability and stability as well as possibility of making 3D micro structures. In this study, we investigated the effects of annealing treatment on the electrical properties of $Pb(ZrTi)O_3$ (PZT) thin films deposited on LTCC substrate. PZT thin films were deposited on Au / LTCC substrates by RF magnetron sputtering method. Then, the change of the crystallization of the films were investigated under various annealing temperatures and times. The results showed that the crystallization of the films were enhanced as increasing annealing temperatures. The film, annealed at $700^{\circ}C$, 3min, was well crystallized in the perovskite structure.

Transparent conductive oxide (TCO) are necessary as front electrode or anti-reflecting coating for increasing efficiency of LED and Photodiode. In this paper, aluminum-doped Zinc oxide films(AZO) were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering on Si substrate at room temperature with application of substrate bias from -60 to 60 V. Then annealed at temperature of 200, 300 and $400^{\circ}C$ for 1hr in $H_2$ ambient. Structural and electrical property of AZO thin films were investigated.

In this study, hafnium was doped into aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) films were deposited on glass and Si substrates at room temperature via co-sputtering by varying the electric power applied to the Hf target. The properties of deposited Hf-doped AZO films, such as crystalline structure, optical transmittance, and band gap were analyzed using various methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV/visible spectrophotometer. The experimental results confirmed that the abovementioned properties of Hf-AZO films strongly depended on the Hf sputtering power.

ZnO:Al transparent conductive films were deposited on glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering technique and annealed by rapid thermal annealing system. The influence of annealing time on the structural, electrical, and optical properties of ZnO:Al thin films was investigated by atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Hall method and optical transmission spectroscopy. As the annealing time increases from 0 to 5 min, the crystallinity is improved, the root main square surface roughness is decreased and the sheet resistance is decreased. The lowest sheet resistance of ZnO:Al thin film is 90 ohm/sq. The reduction of sheet resistance is caused by increasing carrier concentration due to substituent Al ion. All films are transparent up to 80% in the visible wavelength range and the adsorption edge is a blue-shift due to Burstein-Moss effect with increasing annealing time.

태양전지, 터치센서와 같이 투명한 전극(TCO: Transparent conducting oxide)이 필요로 하는 곳에는 금속 산화물 형태의 ITO, ZnO, FTO와 같은 투명 전극이 사용된다. 그중에서 FTO는 저렴한 가격과 높은 투과율, 낮은 저항으로 주목을 받고 있다. 뿐만아니라 FTO 박막은 다른 산화물 전도체에 비해 구부림에 강한 저항성을 보여 주고 있다. FTO 박막의 캐리어 전하 생성 원리는 F 원자가 O 원자의 자리를 치환하게 되면서 잉여 전자의 발생으로 전기가 흐를 수 있다. 아직까지는 화학적 조성비에 유리한 CVD를 이용한 증착 방법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 스퍼터 장비 역시 공정 가스에 따라 화학적 조성비 변화가 가능하고 CVD와 비교하여 공정이 간단하며 연속 공정이 쉽고 대면적 적용이 가능하다. 본 실험은 본사에서 R&D용으로 제작한 Daon-1000 S 장비를 사용하였으며 DaON-1000 S는 3개의 2" sputter gun이 장착 되어 있어 co-sputtering이 가능한 장비이다.

Using conventional deposition techniques, we demonstrate a method to fabricate ultra-smooth 10 nm silver films without using a wetting layer or co-depositing another material. The argon working pressure plays a crucial role in achieving an excellent surface flatness for silver films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering on an InP substrate. The formation of ultra-smooth silver thin films is very sensitive to the argon pressure. At the optimum deposition condition, a uniform silver film with an rms surface roughness of 0.81 nm has been achieved.

지구 온난화와 화석 연료의 고갈이 심각해지면서 청정 에너지원으로서 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 더욱 고조되고 있다. 신재생에너지 분야의 핵심기술의 하나인 태양전지의 여러 응용분야 중에서 건물 일체형 태양전지의 발전 가능성이 특히 높게 평가되고 있다. Si 계 박막 태양전지 내에 금속 산화물 계 선택적 투과막을 적용하면 선택적으로 적외선영역을 광흡수층으로 반사시키므로 건물 일체형 태양전지에 적용이 가능한 높은 변환효율의 투명 태양전지를 제조할 수 있다. 최근 연구 결과에 의하면 AlTiO 선택적 투과막의 투과율은 표면 평탄도에 의존하며, 타겟에 인가되는 전력을 감소시킴으로써 reactive co-sputtering 시 발생하는 아크 방전을 억제하면 AlTiO 박막의 평탄도가 개선된다는 사실이 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 AlTi single 타겟을 이용하여 AlTiO 박막을 형성함으로써 박막 표면을 더욱 개선시켜 가시광선 영역의 투과율을 향상시킨 결과를 보고한다.

NiCr thin films prepared on $SiO_2/Si$ substrates at room temperature by magnetron co-sputtering technique and then annealed in a vacuum ambient $(3{\times}10^{-6}\;Torr)\;at\;400^{\circ}C$. The grain size and crystallinity of the films increased with film thickness. The resistivity of the films slightly decreases as the film thickness increases, Temperature coefficient resistance (TCR) exhibits positive values irrespective of film thickness and TCR in the range of 50 to 400 nm thickness shows suitable values for the application of 10 dB in ${\pi}-type$ attenuators.
