Magnetic field dependence of magnetization reversal in Co/Pt multilayers was quantitatively investigated. Serial samples of Co/Pt multilayers were prepared by dc-magnetron sputtering under various Ar pressures. Magnetization reversal was monitored by magnetization viscosity measurement and direct domain observation using a magneto-optical microscope system, and the wall-motion speed V and the nucleation rate R were determined using a domain reversal model based on time-resolved domain reversal patterns. Both V and R were found to be exponentially dependent on the applied reversing field. From the exponential dependencies, the activation volumes for wall motion and nucleation could be determined, based on a thermally activated relaxation model, and the wall-motion activation volume was found to be slightly larger than the nucleation activation volume.

BaM films have a lot of advantage of chemical stability and mechanical stability as compared with a metallic thin film. In this paper, (Ba.Pb)M films have been prepared by using dc magnetron sputtering system and the dependences of their crystallographic characteristics and magnetic properties on oxygen pressure($Po_{2}$) were studied. The films prepared at $Po_{2}$ of around 0.02mTorr exhibit a fine particle-like structure and ${\Delta}{\theta}_{50}$ is as small as $1^{\circ}$. $Hc_{\bot},\;Hc_{//}$ and Ms of (Ba.Pb)M films are 700-800Oe, 200Oe and 180-230emu/cc, respectively.

ZnO/Cu/ZnO (ZCZ) thin film deposited on the glass substrate with DC and RF magnetron sputtering was rapid thermal annealed (RTA) and then effect of thermal temperature on the opto-electical and transparent heater properties of the films were considered. The visible transmittance and electrical resistivity are depends on the annealing temperature. The electrical resistivity decreased from 1.68 × 10^-3 Ωcm to 1.18 × 10^-3 Ωcm and the films annealed at 400℃ show a higher transmittance of 78.5%. In a heat radiation test, when a bias voltage of 20 V is applied to the ZCZ film annealed at 400℃, its steady state temperature is about 70.7℃. In a repetition test, the steady state temperature is reached within 15s for all of the bias voltages.

Indium oxide ($In_2O_3$) single layer and $In_2O_3$/copper (Cu) bi-layer films were prepared on glass substrates by RF and DC magnetron sputtering without intentional substrate heating. In order to determine the effect of the Cu bottom layer on the optical, electrical and structural properties of $In_2O_3$ films, 3-nm-thick Cu film was deposited on the glass substrate prior to deposition of the $In_2O_3$ films. As-deposited $In_2O_3$ films had an optical transmittance of 79% in the visible wavelength region and a sheet resistance of 2,300 ${\Omega}/{\square}$, while the $In_2O_3$/Cu film had optical and electrical properties that were influenced by the Cu bottom layer. $In_2O_3$/Cu films had a lower sheet resistance of 110 ${\Omega}/{\square}$ and an optical transmittance of 71%. Based on the figure of merit, it can be concluded that the Cu bottom layer effectively increases the performance of $In_2O_3$ films for use as transparent conducting oxides in flexible display applications.

We report the successful fabrication and I-V curve superconductivity test results of the Nb/Al-based superconducting tunnel junctions. STJs with side-lengths of 20, 40, 60 and $80{\mu}m$ were fabricated by deposition of polycrystalline Nb/Al/AlOx/Al/Nb 5-layer thin films incorporated on a 3-inch Si wafer. STJ was designed by $Tanner^{TM}$ L-Edit 8.3 program, and fabricated in SQUID fabrication facility, KRISS. S-layer STJ thin-films were fabricated using UV photolithography, DC magnetron sputtering, Reactive ion etching, and CVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition) techniques. Superconducting state test for STJ was succeeded in 4K with liquid helium cooling system. Their performance indicators such ie energy gap, normal resistance, normal resistivity, dynamic resistance, dynamic resistivity, and quality factor were measured from I-V curve. Fabricated Nb/Al STJ shows $11\%$ higher FWHM energy resolution than genuine Nb STJ.

All solid-state thin film micro supercapacitor, which consists of $RuO_2$/LiPON/$RuO_2$ multi layer structure, was fabricated on Pt/Ti/Si substrate using a $RuO_2$ electrode. Bottom $RuO_2$ electrode was grown by dc reactive sputtering system with increasing $O_2/[Ar+O_2]$ ratio at room temperature, and a LiPON electrolyte film was subsequently deposited on the bottom $RuO_2$ electrode at pure nitrogen ambient by rf reactive sputtering system. Room temperature charge-discharge measurements based on a symmetric $RuO_2$/LiPON/$RuO_2$ structure clearly demonstrates the cyclibility dependence on the microstructure of the $RuO_2$ electrode. Using both glancing angle x-ray diffraction (GXRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, it was found that the microstructure of the $RuO_2$ electrode was dependent on the oxygen flow ratio. In addition, x- ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) examination shows that the Ru-O binding energy is affected by increasing oxygen flow ratio. Furthermore, TEM and AES depth profile analysis after cycling demonstrates that the interface layer formed by interfacial reaction between LiPON and $RuO_2$ act as a main factor in the degradation of the cyclibility of the thin film micro-supercapacitor.

Ultra thin TiN films (50∼700nm thickness) were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel substrates using a reactive DC magnetron sputtering deposition process to investigate their wear and friction properties. Dry sliding wear tests of the films were carried out against hardened steel and alumina counterparts using a pin-on-disk type wear tester at room temperature. Variation of friction coefficient was measured as a function of film thickness, load, sliding speed and roughness of the substrate. Worn surfaces of the film were examined by a scanning electron microscope. Wear resistance of the TiN film increased with the increase of the film thickness. The TiN film showed relatively high wear resistance in spite of its ultra thin thickness when it is mated by the steel counterpart, while it showed poor wear resistance with the alumina counterpart. The good wear resistance with the steel counterpart was explained by the formation of oxide layers on the film surface and sound interface character between the ultra thin film and the substrate.

We have produced $Co_{1-x}Pt_{x}(X\;=\;0.53\;and\;0.75)$ alloy films by DC magnetron sputtering at various substrate temperatures and sputtering pressures. Sputter-deposited Co-Pt alloy films showed a strong (111) texture, and the degree of (111) texture of the as-deposited film was found to depend on the substrate temperature and Ar pressure. However, we observed that the degree of (111) texture did not affect the magnetic properties. In addition, we have investigated the effect of heat-treatment on magnetic properties of these films. While the magnetic properties of the $Co_{0.25}Pt_{0.75}$ alloy films showed no noticeable changes, the coercivities and the squarenesses of the $Co_{0.47}Pt_{0.53}$ alloy films were drastically increased by annealing. Structural analysis using transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and x-ray diffractornetry(XRD) revealed that $CoPt(L1_{0})$ and $CoPt_3(L1_{2})$ ordered phases, respectively, were formed, each with a strong (111) texture. By comparing the magnetic properties between $CoPt(L1_{0})$ and $CoPt_3(L1_{2})$ ordered phases in relation to the atomic arrangements in a unit cell, we conclude that the magnetic anisotropy in the Co-Pt alloy system depends mainly on the atomic arrangements of Co and Pt.

In this study, doffusion barrier properties of 1000 $\AA$ thick molybdenum compound(Mo, Mo-N, $MoSi_2$, Mo-Si-N) films were investigated using sheet resistance measurement, X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), Scanning electron mircoscopy(SEM), and Rutherford back-scattering spectrometry(RBS). Each barrier material was deposited by the dc magnetron sputtering and annealed at 300-$800^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in vacuum. Mo and MoSi2 barrier were faied at low temperatures due to Cu diffusion through grain boundaries and defects in Mo thin film and the reaction of Cu with Si within $MoSi_2$, respectively. A failure temperature could be raised to $650^{\circ}C$-30 min in the Mo barrier system and to $700^{\circ}C$-30 min in the Mo-silicide system by replacing Mo and $MoSi_2$ with Mo-N and Mo-Si-N, respectively. The crystallization temperature in the Mo-silicide film was raised by the addition of $N_2$. It is considered that not only the $N_2$, stuffing effect but also the variation of crystallization temperature affects the reaction of Cu with Si within Mo-silicide. It is found that Mo-Si-N is the more effective barrier than Mo, $MoSi_2$, or Mo-N to copper penetraion preventing Cu reaction with the substrate for $30^{\circ}C$min at a temperature higher than $650^{\circ}C$.
