Indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited on glass substrates at $300^{\circ}C$ in oxygen/argon mixtures by RF-enhanced DC-magnetron sputtering and were compared to those by conventional DC magnetron sputtering. The RF enhancement was performed using a coil above an ITO target. X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that RF-enhanced plasma affected the preferred orientation and the crystallinity of the films. The resistivity of the films prepared by RF-enhanced DC-magnetron sputtering was almost constant at oxygen content lower than 0.3% and then increased sharply with increasing oxygen content. However the resistivity of the films by conventional sputtering has little dependence on the oxygen content. Those results can be explained on the basis of the incorporation of oxygen into the ITO films due to the RF enhancement.

Chromium (Cr) films were deposited on plain carbon steel sheets by DC and RF magnetron sputtering as well as by electroplating. Effects of DC or RF sputtering power on the deposition rate and properties such as, hardness, surface roughness and corrosion-resistance of the Cr films were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microcopy (SEM) analyses were performed to investigate the crystal structure, surface roughness, thickness of the Cr films. Salt fog tests were used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the samples. The deposition rate, hardness, and surface roughness of the Cr film deposited by either DC or RF sputtering increase with the increase of sputtering power but the adhesion strength is nearly independent of the sputtering power. The deposition rate, hardness, and adhesion strength of the Cr film deposited by DC sputtering are higher than those of the Cr film deposited by RF sputtering, but RF sputtering offers smoother surface and higher corrosion-resistance. The sputter-deposited Cr film is harder and has a smoother surface than the electroplated one. The sputter-deposited Cr film also has higher corrosion-resistance than the electroplated one, which may be attributed to the smoother surface of the sputter-deposited film.

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.

We have fabricated Ti metal films on Cu wire substrates by using a RF magnetron sputtering method at different RF powers (0, 30 and 60 W) in a high vacuum, and we have investigated the thin film characteristics and resistivity. The ion bombardment effect is increased by the method to superimpose RF power to DC power applied to two poles of the base; thus, the thin film is deposited at sputtering gas pressures below 1 Pa. Moreover, the thin film formation of the multilayer structure becomes possible by gradually injecting the RF power, and the thin film quality is improved.

We deposited nickel oxide(NiO) thin films on silicon(Si) substrates at Room temperature and $500^{\circ}C$ using a nickel target by reactive DC and RF sputtering. In addition, we anneal to NiO thin films deposited at room temperature. Using spectroscopic eillipsometry, we obtained optical characteristics of every films. We discussed relations of the optical and structural properties of NiO thin films with the oxygen flow rate, substrate temperature and annealing temperatures. Refraction was decreased and defect was increased when NiO thin films was annealed. We also analyzed the electrical characteristics of NiO films which deposited DC and RF sputtering method.

The ITO films were deposited on glass substrates by RF-superimposed dc reactive magnetron sputtering and were annealed in $N_2$ vacuum furnace with temperatures in the range of $403K{\sim}573K$ for 30 minutes. Electrical, optical and structural properties of ITO films were examined with varying annealing temperatures from 403 K to 573 K. The resistivity of as-deposited ITO films was $5.4{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ at the sputter conditions of applied RF/DC power of 200/200 W, $O_{2}$ flow of 0.2 seem and Ar flow of 0.2 seem. As a result of annealing in the temperature range of $403K{\sim}573K$, the crystallization occurred at 423 K that is lower than the crystallization temperature caused by a conventional sputtering method. And the resistivity decreased from $5.4{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm\;to\;2.3{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$, the carrier concentration and mobility of ITO films increased from $4.9{\times}10^{20}/cm^3\;to\;6.4{\times}10^{20}/cm^3$, from $20.4cm^2/Vsec\;to\;41.0cm^2/Vsec$, respectively. The transmittance of ITO films in visible became higher than 90% when annealed in the temperature range of $423K{\sim}573K$. High quality ITO thin films made by RF-superimposed dc reactive magnetron sputtering and annealing in $N_2$ vacuum furnace will be applied to transparent conductive oxides of the advanced flat panel display.

We presented Tungsten and Tungsten Nitride thin films deposited by RF and DC sputtering. It deposited at various conditions that determining the resistivity and sheet resistivity by stabilizing the basic theory. We investigated properties of the resistivity and sheet resistivity of these films under various conditions, temperature of substrate, flow rate of the argon gas and content of nitrogen from nitrogen-argon mixtures. As the temperature of substrate increased and the flow rate of the argon gas decreased, the resistivities of these films reduced by structural transformation. We found that these resistivities were depend on the temperature of substrate, flow rate and electric power. Very highly resistive tungsten films obtained at 10W RF power. On the contrary, we found that films deposited by DC sputtering, from which very lowly resistive tungsten films were obtained. Tungsten nitride thin films deposited by reactive DC sputtering and the resistivities of these films increased as the content of nitrogen gas increased from nitrogen-argon mixture. And also we found the results show very good agreement, compared with experimental data.
