AlN thin film for SAW filter application was deposited on (100) silicon, sapphire, $Si_{3}N_{4}$/Si, and $Al_{2}O_{3}$/Si substrates by reactive magnetron sputtering method, respectively. The structural characteristics were dependent on the structure of substrates. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) have been used to analyze structural properties and preferred orientation of AlN thin films. Preferred orientation and SAW characteristic of AlN were improved by insertion of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ buffer layer. Insertion loss of SAW devices using AlN/Si and AlN/$Al_{2}O_{3}$/Si were about 33.27 dB and 30.20 dB, respectively.

Various types of multilayer coatings including Al/$Al_2O_3$ structure have been prepared on Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet to modify the morphology of the coating and to enhance the corrosion resistance of the magnet. Magnetron sputtering has been employed to make the multilayer coatings. $Al_2O_3$sputtering conditions were optimized in reactive sputtering by varying the deposition parameters. The formation of $Al_2O_3$ film was confirmed from the binding energy shift measured by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis. 3 types of coating structures were designed and prepared by magnetron sputtering. The coating structures consist of (1) single Al coating, (2) modified coatings having oxide or plasma treated layer in the middle of coating structure, and (3) Al/$Al_2O_3$ multilayer coatings. Surface and cross-sectional morphologies showed that Al/$Al_2O_3$ multilayer grew as a layered structure, and that very compact Zone 3 like structure were formed. X-ray diffraction peak showed that the crystal orientations of multilayer coatings were similar to that of the bulk powder pattern. Hardness increased drastically when the Al thickness was around 1im in the Al/$Al_2O_3$ multilayer. From the salt spray test and pressure cooker test, it has been shown that the multilayer coatings showed good corrosion resistance compared to Al single or modified layer coatings.

MoSi2-Al2O3 composites were prepared by thermal explosion mode of self-propagating high temperature syn-thesis (SHS) using element powders of MoO3 Mo Si and Al. The combustion products of MoSi2 which have 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt% Al2O3 showed the molten state in the range of Mo to MoO3 6:1-9.5:1, 2:1-8:1, 1:1-5:1, and 1:1-3:1 (molar ratio) respectively. The combustion products which made least seperation the molten phase from the slag phase were in Mo/MoO3=9, 5:1, 8:1, 5:1 and 3:1 (molar ratio) respectively. Particles size of MoSi2 and Al2O3 in the combustion product were decreased as the molar ratio of Mo to MoO3 increase. By XRD analysis only MoSi2 and $\alpha$-Al2O3 peaks were identified in the combusion products, In case of MoSi2 containing 20wt% Al2O3 5.1wt% Al existed into MoSi2 grains and 30.7wt% Si and 7.7wt% Mo existed into Al2O3 grains. The relative density of MoSi2 containing 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt% Al2O3 were 82.7, 85.2, and 81.9% respectively. The fracture strength of MoSi2-Al2O3 composites increased with increasing Al2O3 and that of MoSi2-20wt% Al2O3 composite was 195 MPa.

본 연구는 습식법으로 수산화 알루미늄과 티타니아를 출발물질로 하여 $Al_2$O$_3$-TiO$_2$복합분체를 제조하였으며, 2 mol의 Al(OH)$_3$분말에 대하여 TiO$_2$분말량을 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 wt%로 첨가하여 $Al_2$O$_3$-TiO$_2$복합분체의 특성을 조사하였다. 제조된 $Al_2$O$_3$-TiO$_2$계 복합분체는 $700^{\circ}C$~140$0^{\circ}C$까지 하소하여 XRD 분석을 한 결과 100$0^{\circ}C$까지는 TiO$_2$(rutile)상과 η-Al$_2$O$_3$상이 공존하다가 110$0^{\circ}C$부터 130$0^{\circ}C$까지는 η-Al$_2$O$_3$에서 $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$로의 상전이가 일어나서 $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$상과 TiO$_2$(rutile)상이 나타났으며 하소온도 140$0^{\circ}C$, TiO$_2$첨가량이 5 wt%일 때부터 $Al_2$TiO$_{5}$가 생성되기 시작하였다. TiO$_2$첨가량에 따른 비표면적값은 첨가량이 7 wt%까지는 감소하였으나 그 이상 첨가시 증가하였다. 입도분석 결과 평균입경은 15.74~23.21$mu extrm{m}$로서 TiO$_2$첨가량이 3 wt%일 때 가장 작은 값을 가졌으며 TiO$_2$첨가량은 5 wt% 이상부터 점차 감소하였다.

Coated type Al2O3-SiC composite powders were synthesized by surface modification method. Transformation temperature to $\alpha$-Al2O3 of Al2O3 monolith was 115$0^{\circ}C$ whereas increased to 1200, 1250, 130$0^{\circ}C$ with increment of SiC content to 5, 15, 25wt%. Transformation temperature to $\alpha$-Al2O3 was lowered by $\alpha$-Al2O3 seeding. FTIR data analysis and electron micrographs showed that Al2O3 particles were effectively coated on SiC particles.

The purpose of this research is to develop the technology for the synthesis of (Ti,Al)N powder, which shows simultaneously the excellent properties of TiN and AlN, from the Ti-Al intermetallic compounds by the direct nitriding method. The effects of variables such as temperature, Ti-Al intermetallic compounds ($TiAl_3$, TiAl and $Ti_3Al$) were investigated by TG, XRD and SEM. The (Ti,Al)N powder can be easily synthesized from the intermetallic compounds by the direct nitriding method. Among the intermetallic compounds, the nitriding behavior increased with TiAl> $Ti_3Al$ > $TiAl_3$, as the difference of diffusion coefficient for nitrogen in each materials. The ternary nitride such as $Ti_2AlN$ and $Ti_3Al_2N_2$ can be synthesized by the direct nitriding method, although the ternary nitride coexist with TiN and AlN. The ternary nitrides are stable below $1400^{\circ}C$, but these are gradually decomposed into TiN and AlN above $1400^{\circ}C$.

ZrO2/Al2O3-Mullite composites were prepared by infiltration of the silica sol to the porous ZrO2/Al2O3 bodies. The porous ZrO2/Al2O3 bodies for infiltration were fabricated using ZrO2 (20wt%)/Al2O3 composite powders synthesized by the emulsion-hot kerosene drying method. The preparation of silica sols was conducted by the hydrolysis-peptization of an alcoholic TEOS solution. When ZrO2/Al2O3-Mullite and ZrO2/Al2O3 composites were sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs, both of them showed an excellent sinterability. As the amount of mullite added in the composites increased, the ratio of the tetragonal phase of zirconia to the monoclinic phase at the room temperature became higher. It was known that values of the fracture toughness of the ZrO2/Al2O3-Mullite composites were about 5.48 MPa.m1/2 much larger than that of the ZrO2/Al2O3 system.

Amorphous $Al_2O_3$ nanotubes have been fabricated by utilizing the ZnO nanowires as template with wet etching method. ZnO nanowires synthesized by thermal evaporation are conformally coated with $Al_2O_3$ by atomic-layer deposition(ALD) method. The $Al_2O_3$-coated ZnO nanowires are of core-shell structure; ZnO core nanowires and $Al_2O_3$ shells. When the $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ core-shell structure is dipped in $H_3PO_4$ solution at $25^{\circ}C$ for a 6 min, the core ZnO materials are completely etched, and only $Al_2O_3$ nanotubes are remained. This nanotube fabrication is technically easier than others, and simply approachable. Transmission electron microscopy shows that the $Al_2O_3$ nanotubes have various thicknesses that can be controlled.
