Platinum thin films were deposited on Si-wafer by DC rnagnetron sputtering for RTD (resistance thermometer devices). We investigated the physical and electrical characteristics of these films under various conditions, the input power, working vacuum, temperature of substrate and also after annealing these films. The deposition rate was increased with increasing the input power but decreased with increasing Ar gas pressure. The resistivity and sheet resistivity were decreased with increasing the temperature of substrate and the annealing time at 1000.deg. C. At substrate temperature of >$300^{\circ}C$, input power of 7 w/cm$^{2}$, working vacuum of 5 mtorr and annealing conditions of 1000.deg. C and 240 min, we obtained 10.65.mu..ohm..cm, resistivity of Pt thin films and 3800-3900 ppm/.deg. C, TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance). These values are close to the bulk value. These results indicate that the Pt thin films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering have potentiality for the development of Pt RTD temperature sensor.

In this study, Tin oxide thin film for secondary battery was deposited on Pt/Ti/Si(100). It was fabricated by r.f. reactive sputtering with Tin metal target. At constant power (130W), pressure (Base 5$\times$10$^{-6}$ Torr, working 5$\times$10$^{-3}$ Torr) and at room temperature, it was fabricated by Ar/O2 gas ratio. After deposition, we got AFM & SEM to investigated surface of thin films and had XRD to find crystalline of thin films. Charge/discharge characteristics were carried out in 1M LiPF$_{6}$ , EC:DMC = 1:1 liquid electrolyte using lithium metal at room temperature.

Thin films of amorphous carbon (a-C) generally combine high wear resistance with low friction coefficients and a-C films have widespread applications as protective coatings and passivation of electrical circuit and insulating layer. In this work we deposited the amorphous carbon (a-C) films on silicon substrate with a high rate DC magnetron sputtering system. It is obtained parameters on the deposition rate and physical properties of a-C films using a wide range of Ar gas pressure and DC power. The physical properties of the films were analyzed by Nanoindenter and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), The electrical properties were investigated by electrical conductivity measurement.

To investigate the 2nO thin films which are interested in the next generation of short wavelength LEDs and Lasers and UV photodetector with p-type inversion layer, the ZnO thin films were deposited by RF sputtering system. Gas ratios and work pressure is Ar : $O_2$ = 4 : 1 and 15 mTorr, respectively, and the purity of ZnO target is 5N. The ZnO thin films were deposited at 300, 450, and $650^{\circ}C$. The current-voltage, responsivity and quantum efficiency of devices were studied and compared with each devices.

We prepared the Al doped ZnO (AZO) thin film on polyethersulfon (PES) without any substrate heating by Facing Targets Sputtering (FTS) system. ZnO doped the content of Al 2 wt% was used and the sputtering conditions were gas pressure 1mTorr and input power 100W. The electrical, structural and optical properties of AZO thin films were investigated. To investigate the as-deposited thin film properties, we employed four-point probe, UV/VIS spectrometer, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Hall Effect measurement system and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM).

A cylindrical-post magnetron sputtering system was designed for pipe inner coating. The discharge condition was depended on the gas pressure, magnetic field and pipe diameter. At given discharge current, discharge voltage increased a little with pipe diameter. The electron temperature and floating potential increased with magnetic field. The impact ion energy on the pipe increased with bias voltage. The TiN thin-film of $2{\mu}m$ thickness was formed by cylindrical-post magnetron sputtering system under the conditions of the pressure of 5mTorr, the applied voltage of 700V, the discharge current of 500mA, the magnetic field of 300G, and the bias voltage of -100V.

Tin doped indium oxide(ITO) and Al doped zinc oxide(ZnO:Al) films, which are widely used as a transparent conductor in optoelectronic devices such as solar cell, liquid crystal display, plasma display panel, thermal heater, and other sensors, were prepared by using the capacitively coupled DC magnetron sputtering method. The electrical and optical properties of both the ITO and ZnO:Al thin films were investigated as functions of substrate temperature, working gas pressure and deposition time. ITO and ZnO:Al films with the the present experimental conditions of temperature and pressure showed resistivity of $2.36{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm,\;9.42{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm$ and transmittance of 86.28%, 90.88% in the wavelength range of the visible spectrum, respectively.

For the application of flexible substrate to future display and new transparent devices, indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film was formed on polycarbonate(PC) substrate at room temperature by in-line sputter system. During the ITO sputtering, Ar and $O_2$ reaction gas were fixed at a constant value and the process pressure was varied from 3 to 7 mtorr. From the electrical and the optical properties of sputtered ITO films, the sheet resistances of as-deposited ITO films varied with a different pressure and the optical transmittances of the ITO films at visible wavelength were maintained above 85%. The results are considered to be due to the saturation of $O_2$ atoms from reaction in ITO film.

The structural properties of $HfO_2$ films could be improved by thermal treatment owing to their crystallization. We deposited $HfO_2$ films on sapphire by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering, whose base vacuum pressure was lower than $4.5{\times}10^{-6}$ Pa, RF power was 100 W, working temperature was $200^{\circ}C$, working pressure was 3 mTorr, and the density of the active gas (Argon) was 20 sccm. After depositing the $HfO_2$ films, the samples were thermally treated by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in $O_2$ ambient at different temperatures. Subsequently, the measured physical properties (structural, morphological, and optical) indicated that the crystallite size, refractive index at a wavelength of 632 nm, and packing density increased with rising temperatures. In particular, an $HfO_2$ film thermally treated at $800^{\circ}C$ in $O_2$ ambient had the highest refractive index of 2.0237 and packing density of 0.9638. The relation between optical and structural properties was also analyzed.
