RF마그네트론 스파터링에 의한 $sSnO_2$ 박막을 증착한 결과 작동조건에 따라 표면에서 막손상이 발생하였는데, 이는 target에서 생성된 높은 에너지의 고속입자가 기판에서 직접 충돌로 일어나며, 마그네트론의 자계분포와도 관계된다. 또한 기판의 위치에 따라 박막의 전기적, 구조적 특성이 급격히 변하는데 본 논문은 중심자석의 세기와 RF power, 가스압력, 그리고 기판온도 등의 스파터링 작동조건을 변화시키면서 박막의 비손상을 검토하였고, 물성특성을 평가하였다. 실험결과로 부터 기판의 외축부에서 제작된 박막은 전반적으로 막손상이 없었고, 특히 target의 중심자석을 Cobalt로 설치하고 15 mTorr의 가스압력과 50 W의 RF power로 한 경우 가장 우수한 특성을 가진 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 추가로 막손상을 방지하고자, 환원형의 masking glass를 target위에 설치하였는데, 고에너지 입자의 직접 충돌을 확실히 차단할 수 있었으며, 비저항율도 target의 부식부위 (erosion)에 대응하는 부분에서 100배 정도로 개선하였다.

Transparent conducting indium tin oxide (TC-ITO) thin films are deposited on soda lime glass by a dc magnetron sputtering technique having the unbalanced-magnet structure in order to improve the electrical/material characteristics and to avoid the surface damages. The material properties are measured by the x-ray diffractometer (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The (400) peak as the preferred orientation of <100> direction for ITO thin films is stabilized with the increase of substrate temperature. The surface roughness estimated by AFM 3D image at the substrate temperature of 40$0^{\circ}C$ is extremely uniform. The best resistivity of ITO films (5500 $\AA$ thick) at 40$0^{\circ}C$ is about 1.3$\times$10$^{-4}$ $\Omega$cm on the position of 4 cm from substrate center.

Transparent and conducting Sb-doped $SnO_2$ thin films were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering technology. But it showed a serious damage phenomenon on the surface of as-deposited films. In order to avoid a damage caused in the substrate center and location facing to target erosion, a ring plate of masking glass was installed at 1.5 cm above target surface. The uniformity and electrical characteristic of $SnO_2$ thin films were evaluated by the control of optimal conditions in the magnetron sputtering operation such as rf power, sputtering gas pressure, and substrate temperature. In the experimental results using the operating conditions, the optimum temperature, which produced uniform and damageless films, shifted with the change of gas pressure. The rate was about $100^{\circ}C$/5 mTorr at rf power of 50 W Similarly, the optimum temperature in compensation for an increase of rf power shifted down to a proper rate.

Ni-Fe thin films are deposited on the corning glass substrate by means of RF magnetron sputtering system In order to investigate the dependence of the prorerties of Ni-Fe thin films on the film thickness, ferromagnetic reson¬ance spectrum has been examined. The effective magnetization $M_{eff}$ is constant for all samples, while the exchange stiffness constant A increases with the film thickness. A tendency that spectroscopic splitting factor g increases with the sample thickness, we expect that the increase of the contribution of the orbital motion to the magnetic moment as a reason for it.

The magnetic properties of RF magnetron sputtered $Co_{79}Cr_{21}(at.%)$ thin film have been examined by using of ferromagnetic resonance. The properties of $Co_{79}Cr_{21}$ thin film show the effective first order anisotropy constant of $2.91{\times}10^{5}\;erg/cm^{3}$, the effective anisotropy field of 2526 Oe, and the spectroscopic splitting factor of 2.17. The torque experimental results, analyzed by employing modified Artman method, coincide with the ferromagnetic res-onance experimental results.

The performance of as plasma display panels (PDP) is influenced strongly by the surface glow discharge characteristics on the MgO thin films. This paper deals with the optimum preparation conditions of MgO Protecting layer by RF unbalanced magnetron sputtering(UBMS) in surface discharge type AC PDP. The samples prepared with the do bias voltage of -10V showed lower discharge voltage, lower erosion rate as a consequence of ion bombardment, higher optic transparency and higher crack resistance in annealing process than those samples prepared by conventional magnetron sputtering or E-beam eraporation.

Cr-CrO cermet solar selective coatings with a double cermets layer film structure were prepared using a special direct current (dc) magnetron sputtering technology. The typical films structures from surface to bottom substrate were measured to be an $Al_2O_3$ anti-reflection layer on a double Cr-CrO cermet layer on an Al metal infrared reflection layer. Optical properties of optimized Cr-CrO cermet solar selective coating were absorptance (${\alpha}$) = 0.95 and emittance (${\varepsilon}$) = 0.10 ($100^{\circ}C$). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) image showed that Cr-CrO cermet film was very smooth and their grain size was also very small The results of thermal stability test showed that the Cr-CrO cermet solar selective coatings were stable for use at temperature of $400^{\circ}C$.

Top spin valve samples with a structure Ta/NiFe/CoFe/Cu/CoFe/FeMn/Ta were deposited on a Si(100) substrate by changing d.c. magnetron sputtering conditions and the exchange-bias and magnetic properties of samples were investigated. The Exchange field, H$\_$ex/ increased with increase of sputtering power of FeMn from 30 to 150 W and CoFe from 30 to 100 W deposited on the Cu, the increase of H$\_$ex/ was found due to the improvement of preferred orientation of (111) FeMn phase from XRD results. In the case of Cu, H$\_$ex/ decreased with the increase of sputtering pressure ranging from 1 to 5 mTorr. The relationship between exchange field and resistance was investigated, spin valve samples with a large exchange field showed the lower resistance, which was strongly dependent on the good crystallinity and grain size increase as well as lower scattering effects. The Cu thickness was changed from 22 to 38 $\AA$ for Si/Ta/NiFe/CoFe/Cu(t), 30 W/CoFe, 100 W/FeMn, 100 W/Ta spin valve structures, MR ratio of 6.5 % and exchange field of about 190 Oe were obtained for the sample with Cu of 22 $\AA$ thickness. The increase of exchange field with decrease of Cu thickness was explained by FM/AFM spin-spin interaction.
