ITO (indium tin oxide) thin films on PET (polyethylene terephthalate) substrate have been deposited by a dc reactive magnetron sputtering without heat treatments such as substrate heater and post heat treatment. Each sputtering parameter during the sputtering deposition is an important factor for the high quality of ITO thin films deposited on polymeric substrate. Particularly, the material, electrical and optical properties of as-deposited ITO oxide films are dominated by the ratio of oxygen partial pressure. As the experimental results, the excellent ITO films are prepared on PET substrate at the operating conditions as follows : operating pressure of 5 mTorr, target-substrate distance of 45mm, do power of 20~30W, and oxygen gas ratio of 10%. The optical transmittance is above 80% at 550 nm, and the sheet resistance and resistivity of films are 24 Ω/square and $1.5\times$10$^{-3}$ Ωcm, respectively.

The magnetic and magneto-optical properties of Ni/Pt multilayers exhibiting square Kerr hysterisis loops at room temperature were studied. Squared polar Kerr hysterisis loops at room temperature in Ni/Pt multilayer thin films were obtained for the samples prepared by sequential dc magnetron sputter deposition of nickel and platinum with tNi=13-21$\AA$ and tPt=3.5-7.5$\AA$. The coercivity of these multilayers was in the range of 400-1100 Oe. The saturation magnetization was found to show an inverse dependence on nickel sublyaer thickness. About a monolayer of Ni at interface was observed to behave less magnetically than the interior Ni atoms. The polar Kerr rotation exhibited an increasing trend with decreasing wavelength in the spectral range of 7000-4000 $\AA$. The maximum of polar Kerr rotation was found to shift to higher wavelengths with increase in nickel sublayer thickness.

가시광 영역에서의 높은 투과도와 낮은 전기 비저항을 갖는 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) 박막은 현재 Display, Solar Cell, LED, Smart Phone 등 최첨단 IT산업에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 투명전극소재이다. IBD (Ion Beam Deposition)방법은 박막의 증착 방법 중 Plasma에서 독립적으로 이온만을 빔의 형태로 조사하여 박막을 증착하는 방법으로 기존 RF 또는 DC 스퍼터방법에 비해서 상대적으로 높은 진공도(low 10E-04 torr)와 비교적 높은 스퍼터 된 입자의 에너지를 가지는 등의 장점으로 증착 된 박막의 밀도, 거칠기가 향상되고 상대적으로 적은 결함을 가지는 박막의 제작에 사용되고 있는 기술이다. (주)인포비온에서는 IBD 기술과 더불어 표면만을 선택적으로 가열할 수 있는 EBA Technology를 사용하여 박막에 Energy를 전달하고, 이를 바탕으로 ITO 박막의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적인 특성의 변화를 관찰 연구했다 [1]. 본 연구에서는 기존의 Sputter 방법과 IBD 방법으로 증착 된 ITO 박막의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적인 특성 변화를 비교 관찰하였고, EBA 후처리로 ITO 박막을 상온에서 처리하여, 박막의 투과도, 면 저항, 미세구조의 변화를 관찰하였다. 각 특성의 변화는 UV-VIS, 4Point-Probe, TEM을 사용하여 분석하였고, 처리 전, 후의 박막의 결합에너지는 XPS로, 박막의 조성변화는 SIMS를 이용하여 각각 분석하였다.

The properties of carbon nanotube obtained by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process were investigated as a function of ammonia $(NH_3)$ gas in hydrocarbon gas, Fe catalyst thickness, and growth temperature. Fe catalyst was prepared by DC magnetron sputter and pre-treated with ammonia gas. CNTs were then grown with ammonia-acetylene gas mixture by thermal CVD. The diameter of these CNTs shows a strong correlation with the gas rate, the catalyst film thickness and temperature. From our results, it was found that the factors of grown CNTs positively acted to improve CNT quality.

(Pb,Sr)TiO$_3$(PST) thin films have attracted great interest as new dielectric materials of capacitors for Gbit dynamic random access memories. In this study, inductively coupled CF$_4$/Ar plasma was used to etch PST thin films. The maximum etch rate of PST thin films was 740 $\AA$/min at a CF$_4$(20 %)/Ar(80 %) 9as mixing ratio, an RF power of 800 W, a DC bias voltage of -200 V, a total gas flow of 20 sccm, and a chamber pressure of 15 mTorr. To clarify the etching mechanism, the residue on the surface of the etched PST thin films was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that Pb was mainly removed by physically assisted chemical etching. Sputter etching was effective in the etching of Sr than the chemical reaction of F with Sr, while Ti can almost removed by chemical reaction.

MgO thin films were deposited by internal ICP-assisted reactive-magnetron sputtering with bipolar pulse bias on a substrate to suppress random arcs. Mg is reactively sputtered by a bipolar pulsed DC power of 100 kHz into ICP generated by a dielectrically shielded internal antenna. At a mass flow ratio of $Ar/O_2$ = 10 : 2 and an ICP/sputter power ratio of 1 : 1, optimal film properties were obtained (a powder-like crystal orientation distribution and a RMS surface roughness of approximately 0.42 nm). A bipolar pulse substrate bias at a proper frequency (~a few kHz) prevented random arc events. The crystalline preferred orientations varied between the (111), (200) and (220) orientations. By optimizing the plasma conditions, films having similar bulk crystallinity characteristics (JCPDS data) were successfully obtained.

Chromium carbide films were deposited on high speed steels using a Cr_3C_2$ target by magnetron sputtering. Effects of the deposition parameters (power, Ar pressure and substrate temperature) on deposition rates and surface roughnesses of the films were investigated. The morphologies of those films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The grain size of the samples deposited using dc-power is larger than that using equivalent rf-power. The hardness of the sample increases with increasing rf-power, whereas the elastic modulus nearly does not change with rf-power. The optimum sputter deposition conditions for chromium carbide on high speed steels in the corrosion resistance aspect were found to be the rf-power with small roughness.

RTD temperature sensor is a thermoresistor which uses the liner dependence of the resistance of the sensing material on the temperature, and has good stability and sensibility, so it can be used in highly precise temperature measurement. In this study RTD sensor was fabricated using Pt thin film. The Pt thin film was deposited on alumina using DC-Sputter, and annealed with various temperature. Through the experiments of XRD, AFM, 4-point probe, the surface structure of the thin film with annealing conditions and their effects on the electrical resistance were investigated. RTD with serpentine pattern was fabricated using Lift-off and resistance-temperature characteristics were studied.

We deposited Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films on Ru buffer layer in order to protect the amorphous layer between ZnO and Al interface. In X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, it was observed that increase of (002)-orientation by the variation of annealing treatment temperature. Also, surface roughness and specific resistance were increased by annealing treatment but full width at half maximum (FWHM) was decreased. In film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs) fabricated from these results, we finally confirmed that the resonant frequency of 0.89 GHz without its shift was measured.
