Sputtering requires a way to bombard the target with sufficient momentum. Positive ions are the most convenient source since their energy and momentum can be controlled by applying a potential to the target. Although many types of discharges have been used for sputtering, magnetrons are now the most widely used because of the high ion current densities. Namely, plasma near the target electrode is confined by magnetic field using permanent magnet, so that the collision probability is increased. It is important to develop RF magnetron sputtering system which has many excellent merits compared with conventional methods. Our study aims to develop 1 kW RF source(13.56 MHz, TR type) and to accumulate the design and construction technology of RF magnetron sputter-deposition system. We developed 1 kW RF sputtering system to deposit thin film. These films are deposited by this RF source matched by auto-matching system using primarily argon gas. Target of Au, Ni, Al, and $SiO_2$ was well deposited on the argon pressure of 5-10 mTorr.

InGaZnO (IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) are very promising due to their potential use in high performance display backplane [1]. However, the stability of IGZO TFTs under the various stresses has been issued for the practical IGZO applications [2]. Up to now, many researchers have studied to understand the sub-gap density of states (DOS) as the root cause of instability [3]. Nomura et al. reported that these deep defects are located in the surface layer of the IGZO channel [4]. Also, Kim et al. reported that the interfacial traps can be affected by different RF-power during RF magnetron sputtering process [5]. It is well known that these trap states can influence on the performances and stabilities of IGZO TFTs. Nevertheless, it has not been reported how these defect states are created during conventional RF magnetron sputtering. In general, during conventional RF magnetron sputtering process, negative oxygen ions (NOI) can be generated by electron attachment in oxygen atom near target surface and accelerated up to few hundreds eV by self-bias of RF magnetron sputter; the high energy bombardment of NOIs generates bulk defects in oxide thin films [6-10] and can change the defect states of IGZO thin film. In this study, we have confirmed that the NOIs accelerated by the self-bias were one of the dominant causes of instability in IGZO TFTs when the channel layer was deposited by conventional RF magnetron sputtering system. Finally, we will introduce our novel technology named as Magnetic Field Shielded Sputtering (MFSS) process [9-10] to eliminate the NOI bombardment effects and present how much to be improved the instability of IGZO TFTs by this new deposition method.

256Mb DRAM에서 박막 커패시터로의 적용을 위해서$(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5)/TiO_3$(BST)박막이 RF Magnetron Sprttering방법에 의해 제조되었다. BST박막의 결정화도는 기판온도가 높아짐에 따라 증가하였고 증착된 박막의 조성은 $(Ba_{0.48}Sr_{0.48)/TiO_{2.93}$이었다. 이때 Pt/Ti장벽층은 Si의 BST계면으로의 확산을 억제하였다. 100kHz에서의 유전상수 및 유전손실은 각각 320 및 0.022이었다. 인가전계도 (Charge Storage Density)는 40fC/$\mu \textrm{m}^{2}$, 누설전류밀도(Leakage Current Density)는 0.8$\mu A/\textrm{cm}^2$ 로서 RF Matnetron sputtering방법에 의해 제조된 BST 박막이 256Mb DRAM 적용 가능함을 보였다.

Amorphous InGaZnO (${\alpha}$-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) are are very promising due to their potential use in thin film electronics and display drivers [1]. However, the stability of AOS-TFTs under the various stresses has been issued for the practical AOSs applications [2]. Up to now, many researchers have studied to understand the sub-gap density of states (DOS) as the root cause of instability [3]. Nomura et al. reported that these deep defects are located in the surface layer of the ${\alpha}$-IGZO channel [4]. Also, Kim et al. reported that the interfacial traps can be affected by different RF-power during RF magnetron sputtering process [5]. It is well known that these trap states can influence on the performances and stabilities of ${\alpha}$-IGZO TFTs.

To investigate the effect of RF power on the structural, optical and electrical properties of amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO), its thin films and TFTs were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering method with different RF power conditions of 40, 80 and 120 W at room temperature. In this study, as RF power during the deposition process increases, the RMS roughness of a-IGZO films increased from 0.26 nm to 1.09 nm, while the optical band-gap decreased from 3.28 eV to 3.04 eV. In the case of the electrical characteristics of a-IGZO TFTs, the saturation mobility increased from $7.3cm^2/Vs$ to $17.0cm^2/Vs$, but the threshold voltage decreased from 5.9 V to 3.9 V with increasing RF power. It is regarded that the increment of RF power increases the carrier concentration of the a-IGZO semiconductor layer due to the higher generation of oxygen vacancies.
