Corning glass 위에 형태별로 서로 다른 버퍼층(Ta, Nb, $Nb_3Al$)을 삽입하여 IrMn을 기반으로 한 거대자기저항-스핀밸브(GMR-SV) 다층박막을 이온빔 증착 시스템과 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링 시스템을 이용하여 제조하였다. 버퍼층이 다른 3가지 형태의 GMR-SV 다층박막 구조에 대해 열처리 전에 측정한 major 및 minor 자기저항(MR) 곡선에서 나타난 자기저항 특성은 형태별로 서로 다른 결과를 보여주었다. 3가지 형태의 GMR-SV 다층박막을 진공 상태에서 $250^{\circ}C$로 열처리 한 결과, 고정층의 교환결합세기를 제외한 모든 자기저항 특성이 대체적으로 향상되었다.

RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링으로 제조한 SmCo/Cr 박막의 스퍼터 제조조건에 따르는 자기적 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. Sm 조성이 약 20 at %이고 Cr(50 nm)/SmCo(40 nm, 50W, 20mT)/Cr(150 nm, 100W, 30 mT)인 조건에서 제조한 시편에서 3.2 kOe의 최대 보자력을 얻었다. SmCo/Cr의 보자력은 하지층 표면거칠기와 SmCo의 조성에 크게 영향을 받았다. Cr 하지층의 거칠기는 Ar 분압과 두께가 증가할수록 증가하고 이는 SmCo 입자의 고립을 증가시켜 보자력이 증가된다. 본 SmCo 박막 증착시 사용한 RF 투입전력 및 Ar 분압은 SmCo의 조성을 변화시키며 최적의 조성(약 20 at.%Sm)에서 최대 보자력을 보인다. 또한 RF 파워 증가나 Ar 분압 증가에 의해 생긴 Cr 하지층의 표면거칠기, 치밀하지 않은 주상 계면구조등의 결함이 자구벽 이동을 방해하여 보자력 증가에 영향을 끼친다.

A magnetic field annealing is firstly used for nanostructured Sm-Co/Co films, prepared by magnetron sputtering method. The effects of magnetic field annealing on single-layered Sm-Co films are different from those on multi-layered Sm-Co/Co films. A detailed analysis of microstructures and magnetic properties is made by means of HRTEM, Auger electron spectroscopy, XRD and Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS). From magnetic properties and microstructure analysis, it was confirmed that these differences originate from the effects of magnetic field annealing on crystallization behavior of the films. The relationship between magnetic properties and microstructures explains a different demagnetization process of single-layered and multilayered films. For the single-layered Sm-Co films, magnetic-field-annealing makes the main phases change from $CaCu_5/ to Zn_2Th_{17}$ structure, resulting in a decrease of coercivity. The results show that the magnetic-field-annealing is useful to improve the properties of nanostructured Sm-Co(30 nm)/Co(10 nm) films, which ascribe to improving the pinning effectiveness in coercivity mechanism and decreasing the magnetostatic interaction of films. A very high coercivity about 0.7 T was obtained from nanoscaled multi-layered Sm-Co(30 nm)-/Co(10 nm) films.

Metal-Ferroelectric-Insulator-Semiconductor(MFIS) 구조의 적용하기 위해 R. F. 마그네트론 스퍼터를 이용하여 p-type Si(111) 기판 위에 $ZrO_2$와 $SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$ 박막을 증착하였다. SBT 박막은 $ZrO_2$ 완충층을 삽입함으로써 MFIS 구조의 전기적인 특성이 향상되었다. $ZrO_2$ 박막의 두께를 고정하고 SBT 박막의 두께를 160nm에서 220nm으로 변화시키면서 윈도우 메모리를 3-9V의 범위에서 측정하였다. Pt/SBT(160nm)/$ZrO_2$(20nm)/Si의 조건에서 최대 2.2V 메모리 윈도우 값을 얻을 수 있었으며 이 메모리 윈도우 값은 실제 적용되는 저전압 NDRO-FRAM 구동에 충분한 값이다.

We have investigated Pt and RuO$_2$as a bottom electrode for a device application of PZT thin film. The bottom electrodes were prepared by using an RF magnetron sputtering method. We studied some of the property influencing factors such as substrate temperature, gas flow rate, and RF power. An oxygen partial pressure from 0 to 50% was investigated. The results show that only Ru metal was grown without supp1ying any O$_2$gas. Both Ru and RuO$_2$phases were formed for O$_2$partial pressure between 10∼40%. A Pure RuO$_2$ phase was obtained with O$_2$partial pressure of 50%. A substrate temperature from room temperature to 400$^{\circ}C$ was investigated with XRD for the film crystallinity examination. The substrate temperature influenced the surface morphology and the resistivity of Pt and RuO$_2$as well as the film crystal structure. From the various considerations, we recommend the substrate temperature of 300$^{\circ}C$ for the bottom electrode growth. Because PZT film growth on top of bottom electrode requires a temperature process higher than 500$^{\circ}C$, bottom electrode properties were investigated as a function of post anneal temperature. As post anneal temperature was increased, the resistivity of Pt and RuO$_2$was decreased. However, almost no change was observed in resistivity for an anneal temperature higher than 700$^{\circ}C$. From the studies on resistivity and surface morphology, we recommend a post anneal temperature less than 600$^{\circ}C$.

CrN coatings have been used as protective coatings for cutting tools, forming tools, and various tribological machining applications because these coatings have high hardness. Cr-Al-N coatings have been investigated to improve the properties of CrN coatings. Cr-Al-N coatings were fabricated by a hybrid physical vapor deposition method consisting of unbalanced magnetron sputtering and arc ion plating with different working pressure and substrate bias voltage. The phase analysis of the composition was performed using XRD (x-ray diffraction). Cr-Al-N coatings were grown with textured CrN phase and (111), (200), and (220) planes. The adhesion strength of the coatings tested by scratch test increased. The friction coefficient and removal rate of the coatings were measured by a ball-on-disk test. The friction coefficient and removal rate of the coatings decreased from 0.46. to 0.22, and from $2.00{\times}10^{-12}m^2/N$ to $1.31{\times}10^{-13}m^2/N$, respectively, with increasing bias voltage. The tribological properties of the coatings increased with increasing substrate bias voltage.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown on the TiN-coated silicon substrate with different thickness of Ni and Co catalysts layer at $600^{\circ}C$ using inductively coupled plasma-chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD). The Ni and Co catalysts were formed using the RF magnetron sputtering system with various deposition times. It was found that the growth of CNTs was strongly influenced by the surface morphology of Ni and Co catalysts. With increasing deposition time, the thickness of catalysts increased and the grain boundary size of catalysts increased. The surface morphology of catalysts and CNTs were elucidated by SEM. The Raman spectrum further confirmed the graphitic structure of the CNTs. The turn-on field of CNTs grown on Ni and Co catalysts was about 2.7V/pm and 1.9V/pm respectively. Field emission current density of CNTs grown on Ni and Co catalysts was measured as $11.67mA/cm^2$ at $5.5V/{\mu}m$ and $1.5mA/cm^2$ at $5.5V/{\mu}m$ respectively.

This paper describes the results of the application of Cr-Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films for efficiency improvement through surface modification of spur gear parts in the hydraulic gear pump. Cr-DLC films were successfully deposited on SCM 415 substrates by a hybrid coating process using linear ion source (LIS) and magnetron sputtering method. The characteristics of the films were systematically investigated using FE-SEM, nano-indentation, sliding tester and AFM instrument. The microstructure of Cr-DLC films turned into the dense and fine grains with relatively preferred orientation. The thickness formed in our Cr buffer layer and DLC coating layer were obtained the 487 nm and $1.14\;{\mu}m$. The average friction coefficient of Cr-DLC films considerably decreased to 0.15 for 0.50 of uncoated SCM415 material. The hardness and surface roughness of Cr-DLC films were measured 20 GPa and 10.76 nm, respectively. And then, efficiency tests were performed on the hydraulic gear pump to investigate the efficiency performance of the Cr-DLC coated spur gear. The experimental results show that the volumetric and mechanical efficiency of hydraulic gear pump using the Cr-DLC spur gear were improved up to 2~5% and better efficiency improvement could be attributed to its excellent microstructure, higher hardness, and lower friction coefficient. This conclusion proves the feasibility in the efficiency improvement of hydraulic gear pump for industrial applications.

The SBT($SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$) thin films with $Bi_2O_3$ buffer layer were deposited on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by R.F. magnetron sputtering method in order to improve the ferroelectric characteristics. In SBT thin films, the deficiency of bismuth during the process due to its volatility results in an obvious non stoichiometry of the films and the presence of secondary phases. $Bi_2O_3$ buffer layer was found to be effective to achieve the low temperature crystallization and improve the ferroelectric properties of SBT thin films. Ferroelectric properties and crystallinities of SBT thin films with various post annealing of $Bi_2O_3$ buffer layer were observed as various annealing temperature, using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Keithley 237 and HP 4192A Impedance Analyzer.

Recently, transparent ZnO-based TFTs have attracted much attention for flexible displays because they can be fabricated on plastic substrates at low temperature. We report the fabrication and characteristics of ZnO TFTs having different channel thicknesses deposited at low temperature. The ZnO films were deposited as active channel layer on $Si_3N_4/Ti/SiO_2/p-Si$ substrates by RF magnetron sputtering at $100^{\circ}C$ without additional annealing. Also, the ZnO thin films deposited at oxygen partial pressures of 40%. ZnO TFTs using a bottom-gate configuration were investigated. The $Si_3N_4$ film was deposited as gate insulator by PE-CVD at $150^{\circ}C$. All Processes were processed below $150^{\circ}C$ which is optimal temperature for flexible display and were used dry etching method. The fabricated devices have different threshold slop, field effect mobility and subthreshold slop according to channel thickness. This characteristics are related with ZnO crystal properties analyzed with XRD and SPM. Electrical characteristics of 60 nm ZnO TFT (W/L = $20\;{\mu}m/20\;{\mu}m$) exhibited a field-effect mobility of $0.26\;cm^2/Vs$, a threshold voltage of 8.3 V, a subthreshold slop of 2.2 V/decade, and a $I_{ON/OFF}$ ratio of $7.5\times10^2$.
