Meta-aramid fabric has been widely used as the reinforcement of composites due to its high flame resistance and tearing strength. Functionality such as abrasion resistance of fabric is very important for specialty fabrics used in car racing suits. In this study, to improve abrasion resistance property of meta-aramid fabric, silicon deposition was conducted by utilizing RF magnetron sputtering. The sputtering process parameters effects were investigated as sputtering power and substrate temperature. The obtained results suggest that the silicon deposition on the meta-aramid fabric has obvious effect upon increasing the abrasion resistance, the thermal insulation and the electric resistance condition for silicon deposition was established. In conclusion, the results of this study have made it possible to manufacture meta-aramids with higher abrasion strength.

Aluminum doped zinc oxide films (ZnO:Al) were deposited on glass substrate by DC magnetron sputtering from a ZnO target mixed with 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$. The effects of substrate bias on the electrical properties and film structure were studied. Films deposited with positive bias have been annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ using rapid thermal anneal (RTA) process. The effects of RTA on the evolution of film microstructure are to be also studied using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Positive bias sputtering may induce lattice defects caused by electron bombardments during deposition. The as-deposited film microstructure evolves from the film with high defect density to more stable film condition. The electrical properties of the films after RTA process were also studied and the results were correlated with the evolution of film microstructures.

Amorphous carbon nitride thin films have been deposited on silicon (100) by reactive magnetron sputtering method. The basic depositon parameters varied were the r.f. power(up to 250 W), the deposition pressure in the reactor(up to 100 mtorr) and Ar:$N_2$ gas ratio. FT-IR and X-ray photoelectron spectra showed the presence of different carbon-nitrogen bonds in the films. The surface topography of the films was studied by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and atomic force microscopy(AFM).

A high performance dual rocking magnet sputtering gun has been developed. The rocking magnet sputtering gun introduces full-face erosion by rapidly rocking the magnet in the region where the high plasma density is maintained. The newly developed dual rocking magnet sputtering gun whose target utilization was 77 percent achieved high performance in quality in the view of target utilization and target life-time comparing to the existing magnetron sputtering gun. The PIC-MCC target erosion simulation has been performed simultaneously. Comparing experimental target erosion profiles with simulated target erosion profiles, the simulation could estimate the tendency of the target erosion profiles but could not estimate an exact target erosion profile. If the simulation were improved more precisely, the cost reduction for the development of the multiple rocking magnet sputtering gun would be expected.

Titanium Chromium Nitrided (TiCrN) coatings were deposited on stainless steel 316 L and Si (100) wafer by inductively coupled plasma assisted D.C. magnetron sputtering at the various sputtering power on Cr target and $N_2/Ar$ gas ratio. Increasing the sputtering power of Cr target, XRD patterns were changed from TiCrN to nitride $Cr_2Ti$. The maximum hardness was $Hk_{3g}$ 3900 at $0.3\;N_2/Ar$ gas ratio. The thickness of the TiCrN films increased as the Cr target power increased, and it showed over $Hk_{5g}3100$ hardness at 100 W, 150 W. TiCrN films were deposited by the ICP assisted DC magnetron sputtering shown good wear resistance as the $N_2/Ar$ gas ratio was 0.1, 0.3.

In this study, the electrical and optical properties of $(SiO_2)_x(ZnO)_{100-x}$ (SZO) films prepared on the coming 7059 glass substrates by using rf-magnetron sputtering method are investigated. The deposition rate becomes maximum near 3 wt.% and gradually decreases when the $SiO_2$ content further increases. The growth rates of the SZO film with $SiO_2$ content of 3 wt.% is $4\;{\AA}/s$. We found that the average transmittance of all films is over 80% in the wavelength range above 500 nm. The optical band gap were decreased from 3.52 to 3.33 eV as an increase the deposition thickness. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the film with a relatively low $SiO_2$ content (< 4 wt.%) is amorphous. SZO film with the $SiO_2$ contents of 2 wt.% showed the resistivity of about $3.8{\times}10^{-3}\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. The sheet resistance decreases with increasing the heat treatment temperature.

In this investigation, the effects of $N_2/(Ar+N_2)$ gas partial pressure on the structural, electrical, and thermal properties of AlN dielectric layers prepared on aluminum substrates using RF-magnetron sputtering method were analyzed. Among the films, the AlN dielectric film deposited under $N_2/(Ar+N_2)$ gas partial pressure of 75% exhibit the highest AlN (002) preferred orientation, which was grain size of about 15.32 nm and very dense structure. We suggest the possibilities of it's application as a dielectric layer for metal PCB because the AlN films prepared at optimized gas partial pressure can improving the insulating property, the thermal conductivity, and thermal diffusivity of the films.

Titanium oxide thin films were prepared on Si(100) substrates by R.F. magnetron reactive sputtering at $30\sim200watt$ R.F power range, and annealed at $600^{\circ}C\sim800^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The properties of $TiO_2$ thin films were analyzed using x-ray, ${\alpha}-step$, ellipsometer, scanning electron microscopy, and FT-IR spectrometer. Upon in-situ depositions, the initial phase of $TiO_2$ thin film showed non-crystalline phase at R.F. power $30\sim100$ watt. The crosssection of $TiO_2$ thin films were sbserved to be the columnar structure. With the increasing R.F power and annealing temperature, the grain size, crystallinity, refractive index, and void size of titanium oxides showed a tended to increase. The FT-IR transmittance spectra of titanium oxide thin films have the obsorption band of Ti-O bond, Si-O bond, Si-O-Ti bond and O-H bond. With the increase of R.F. power and annealing temperature, these films have the stronger bond structures. It is considered that such a phenomena is due to phase transition and good crystallinity

Sb doped SnO2(ATO: Antinomy doped Tin Oxide) thin films were prepared by a DC magnetron spttuering method using an oxide target and the electrical characteristics of ATO films were investigated. The experimen-tal conditions are as follows :Ar flow rate ; 0~100 sccm deposition tempera-ture ; 250~40$0^{\circ}C$ DC sputter powder ; 150~550W and sputteing pressure ; 2~7 mTorr, The thickness of depositied ATO films were 600$\AA$~1100 $\AA$ ranges. The resistivity of ATO films was decreased due to the increase of the crystallinity of ATO films with deposition temperature. The decrease of carrier concentration of films with the increase of oxygen flow rate and working pressure is responsible for the increase of resistivity. Increasing of sputtering power raised the resistivity of films by decreasing the carrier mobility.

최근 ZnO 박막은 투명 박막, 태양전지, LED 등으로의 응용을 위한 새로운 기능성 박막으로 활발히 연구되어 지고 있다. ZnO 기반의 투명 박막 트랜지스터는 상온에서 증착 가능하여 유리기판을 이용한 광학소자와 플라스틱 기판을 이용한 플럭서블 소자 같은 차세대 전자소자를 구현 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 RF Magnetron Sputtering System을 이용하여 coming 1737 유리기판 위에 ZnO 박막을 공정압력에 따라 증착하고, 투명 반도체에 적합한 활용을 위한 구조적, 광학적 분석을 실시하였다. 박막 증착 조건은 초기 압력 $1.0{\times}10^{-6}$Torr, RF 파워는 100W, Ar 유량은 100sccm, 그리고 증착온도는 상온이었다. 증착 압력은 $7.0{\times}10^{-3}$, $2.0{\times}10^{-2}$, $7.0{\times}10^{-2}$Torr로 변화시켰다. 표면 분석 (SEM, AFM) 결과 증착압력이 고진공으로 변화함에 따라 결정립들이 감소하였고 RMS roughness값이 낮아졌다. 그리고 XRD 분석을 통해 피크강도는 증가하고 FWHM은 감소함을 보이고 있는데 이는 결정성이 좋아짐을 나타낸다. 그리고 광학 투과도를 통해 가시광 영역에서의 높은 투과도(85% 이상)을 확인하였고, 고진공으로 변화함에 따라 밴드갭이 넓어지는 것을 확인하였다.
