ITO thin film is generally fabricated by various methods such as spray, CVD, evaporation, electron gun deposition, direct current electroplating, high frequency sputtering, and reactive DC sputtering. However, some problems such as peaks, bumps, large particles, and pin-holes on the surface of ITO thin film were reported, which caused the destruction of color quality, the reduction of device life time, and short-circuit. Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is one of the suitable solutions which could solve the problems.

본 연구에서는 $SiO_2$ 판상체 위에 저굴절 및 고굴절 금속 산화물을 다층 교차 증착하여 Pearl Pigment를 sputtering 공법을 이용하여 증착하였다. Pearl Pigment는 Essential Macleod program 을 이용한 색상과 증착된 pigment의 색상이 파장에 따라 blue, violet, pink, red, orange, yellow, green 등(Wave length : 450$\sim$730 nm)으로 동일하게 나타났고, 기존의 제품에 비해 색상효과가 뛰어나고, 표면 morphology가 우수하였다. 주사전자현미경(SEM)으로 막 두께, 표면 조직 및 입자 크기를 측정하였고, 스펙트로미터를 사용하여 각각의 파장을 분석하였으며 EDS, XRD를 이용하여 정성 및 정량 분석을 하였다.

본 연구에서는 박막 태양전지용 투명전극으로 사용하기 위해서 Gun-type RF 마그네트론 스퍼트링을 이용하였다. 챔퍼안의 타겟은 AZO타겟(Zn: 98[wt.%], Al:2[wt.%]을 장착하였고 공정압력은 고진공을 유지하였다. 온도는 $300^{\circ}C$로 고정하였고 전력은 70W로 고정하였다. $Ar^+$ 가스유량비를 20sccm~100sccm으로 변화를 주어 기판 위에 AZO를 증착하여 AZO의 구조적 및 광학적 특성의 의존성을 알아보았다. 모든 가스변화에서 400에서 700 nm까지의 가시광 영역에서의 AZO 박막의 평균 투과도는 약 85% 이상의 우수한 투과율을 보인다. AZO 박막 내의 결정 구조는 (002)면으로 우선 배향을 하는 wurtzite 구조를 가지며, $Ar^+$변화에 의해 두께가 증가하면서 결정립의 주상 (columnar) 성장이 향상되고 결정립의 크기도 증가한다. 이러한 경향성은 $Ar^+$변화에 의해 결정성이 향상된다는 것을 의미한다. 이와 같은 구조 및 광학 특성을 가지는 유리 기판 위에 증착된 AZO는 박막 태양전지용 투명 전극으로 응용이 가능할 것이다.

Tin doped indium oxide(ITO) films, which is 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 influence of the substrate temperature, working gas pressure and deposition time on the electrical, optical and morphological properties were investigated experimentally. ITO films with the optimum growth conditions showed resistivity of $2.36{\times}10^{-4}(\Omega}-cm$ and transmittance of 86.28% for a film 680nm thick in the wavelength range of the visible spectrum.

Cadmium sulphide (CdS) films have been prepared on polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and Coming 7059 substrates by r.f. magnetron sputtering technique at room temperature. A comparison of the properties of the films deposited on polymer and glass substrates was performed. In addition, the effect of the sputter pressure on the structural and optical properties of these films was evaluated.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited on PET substrate by RF superimposed DC magnetron sputtering using ITO (doped with 10 wt% $SnO_2$) target. Substrate temperature was maintained below $750^{\circ}C$ without intentionally substrate heating during the deposition. The discharge voltage of DC power supply was decreased from 280 V to 100 V when superimposed RF power was increased from 0 W to 150 W. The electrical properties of the ITO films were improved with increasing of superimposed RF power. In the result of cyclic bending test, relatively high mechanical property was obtained for the ITO film deposited with RF power of 75 W under DC current of 0.75 A which could be attributed to the decrease of internal stress caused by decrease in both deposition rate and plasma impedance.

$TiO_2$ thin films were deposited by DC reactive magnetron sputtering with variations in sputtering parameter such as Ar and $O_2$ flow rate, DC power, substrate temperature and magnetic field. Deposition rate, crystal structure, chemical bond of $TiO_2$ films on the deposition conditions were investigated by Alpha-step, X-ray Diffractometer(XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS). When the DC power was applied at 500watt, deposition rate of $TiO_2$ film was about 480A/min. $TiO_2$ films coated under the deposition condition of 15sccm Ar and 7~10sccm $O_2$ flow rate was only observed anatase phase. With increasing substrate temperature from RT to $300^{\circ}C$, crystal orientation of $TiO_2$ films variously became.
