Crystalline and micro-structural characteristics of ZnO thin films which were deposited on p-Si(100) with cooling naturally down of pre-heated substrate during RF magnetron sputter deposition, were investigated by XRD and SEM in this paper. The film which was prepared on the substrate which was pre-heated to $400^{\circ}C$ before deposition and then cooled naturally down during deposition, showed the most outstanding c-axis preferred orientation. The ZnO thin film having the best crystalline result were applied to SMR type FBAR device and resonance properties of the device were investigated by network analyzer. It showed that resonance frequency was 2.05 GHz, return loss was -30.64 dB, quality factor was 3169 and electromechanical coupling factor was 0.4 %. This deposition method would be very useful for application of surface acoustic wave filter or film bulk acoustic wave resonator.

In this paper, aluminum doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) thin films on plastic substrate such as poly carbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering method for flexible solar cell applications. Effects of the sputter pressure on the structural, electrical and optical properties were investigated. The crystallinity and the degree of the (002) orientation were deteriorated with increasing the sputter pressure. When the sputter pressure was higher, the conductivity of ZnO:Al films was improved because of the high carrier concentration and the Hall mobility. High quality ZnO:Al films with resistivity as low as $1.9{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}-cm$ and the optical transmittance over 80 % in the visible region have been obtained on PC substrate at 2 mTorr.

Sputter deposition followed by surface treatment was studied using reactive RF plasma as a method for preparing titanium oxide($TiO_{2}$) films on indium tin oxide(ITO) coated glass substrate for dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSCs). Anatase structure $TiO_{2}$ films deposited by reactive RF magnetron sputtering under the conditions of $Ar/O_{2}$(5%) mixtures, RF power of 600W and substrate temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ were surface-treated by inductive coupled plasma(ICP) with $Ar/O_{2}$ mixtures at substrate temperature of $400^{\circ}C$, and thus the films were applied to the DSSCs, The $TiO_{2}$ Films made on these exhibited the BET specific surface area of 95, the pore volume of $0.3cm^{2}$ and the TEM particle size of ${\sim}25$ nm. The DSSCs made of this $TiO_{2}$ material exhibited an energy conversion efficiency of about 2.25% at $100mW/cm^{2}$ light intensity.

본 연구에서는 RF magnetron co-sputtering을 이용하여 Zn-O-Ga 구성비에 따른 광투과도 및 전기적 특성을 연구하였다. 타겟으로 ZnO 및 $Ga_2O_3$ 소결체를 이용하였으며, 두 개의 RF magnetron sputter의 RF power를 동시에 조절하여 타겟의 구성비를 조절하였으며, 기판과 타겟의 거리를 25 mm~75 mm 범위 내에 조절하여 거리에 따른 Zn-O-Ga 박막의 광투과 특성 및 전기적 특성을 관찰하였다. $Ga_2O_3$ 소결체의 magnetron sputter의 RF power를 30 watt에서 100 watt로 증가함에 따라 박막내의 Ga 성분은 0.5%에서 7.4%로 증가하였으며 Zn 성분은 46.3%에서 40.9%로 O성분은 53.2%에서 51.6%로 각각 줄어들었다. 이에 따라 ZnO의 우선방위 (002) 결정각($2{\theta}$)은 34.24에서 33.87로 줄어들었으며, 이동도 $5.5\;cm^2/Vs$ 에서 $1.99\;cm^2/Vs$ 정도로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 광투과도는 가시광선 영역에서 85% 이상 보였으며, carrier 밀도는 $0.5\;{\sim}\;4.0^*10^{20}/cm^3$로 증가함에 따라 이동도는 $1.5{\sim}5.5\;cm^2/Vs$로 투명전도막의 특성을 보였다.

PTCR(Positive Temperature Coefficient of Resistivity) thermistor in thin film BaTiO$_{3}$ system was prepared by using radio frequency(13.56 MHz) and DC magnetron sputter equipment. Polycrystalline, surface structure, and R-T(Resistivity-Temperature) characteristics of the specimens were measured by X-ray diffraction(D-Max3, Rigaku, Japan), SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy: M.JSM84 01, Japan), and insulation resistance measuring system (Keithley 719), respectively. Thin films characteristics of the thermistor showed different properties depending on the substrate even with the same sputtering condition. The thin film formed on the A1$_{2}$O$_{3}$ substrate showed a good crystalline and a low resistivity at below curie point. However, the thin films prepared on slide glass and Si wafer were amorphous. The thicknesses of the three samples prepared under the same process conditions were 700[.angs.], 637.75[.angs.], and 715[.angs.], respectively.

AIN thin film has been deposited on the $AI_2$$O_3$substrate with reactive radio frequency( RF) magnetron sputtering method.

We proposed the ZnO thin film for a SAW filter by PLD and RF sputtering method. ZnO thin films was pre-deposited on a sapphire substrate as a seed layer by PLD method and then deposited on seed layer by RF sputtering. The surface characteristics of ZnO thin film were investigated by XRD, SEM and AFM. The minimum surface roughness was 1.92 nm and FWHM of rocking curve was $0.92^{\circ}$. We demonstrated the SAW filter with bandwidth of approximately 0.97 MHz and the center frequency of 18.72 MHz using the proposed ZnO thin film.

In our experiment, a PTFE was sputter-coated on substrates to induce water-repellent properties and the RF-magnetron sputtering method for fabrication of PTFE film is used due to the advantages of the simple process, time saving, environmentally friendly, insulating property, and a good adhesion property to substrates. As a result of the correlation between surface roughness of PTFE films and contact angle with water, we found that the roughness surfaces are proportioned to contact angles related to low interfacial energy.

Magnesium thin flims were prepared on cold-rolled steel substrates by RF magnetron sputtering technique. The influence of argon gas pressure and substrate bias voltage on their crystal orientation and morphology of the coated films were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction, respectively. And the effect of crystal orientation and morphology of magnesium films on corrosion behaviors was estimated by measuring anodic polarization curves in deaerated 3%NaCl solution. From the experimental results, all the sputtered magnesium films showed obviously good corrosion resistance to compare with 99.99% magnesium target of the sputter-evaporation metal. Finally it was shown that the Corrosion-resistance of magnesium films can be improved greatly by controlling the crystal orientation and morphology with effective use of the plasma sputtering technique.

S $r_{0.89}$B $i_{2.4}$T $a_2$ $O_{9}$ (SBT) thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode(Pt/Ti $O_2$/ $SiO_2$/Si) using RF magnetron sputtering method. In the XRD pattern, the SBT thin films had (105) orientation. As annealing temperature was increased from $600^{\circ}C$ to 85$0^{\circ}C$, the intensities of peak were increased. In the SEM images, Bi-layered perovskite phase was crystallized above $650^{\circ}C$ and rod-like grains grew above 75$0^{\circ}C$. The maximum remanent polarization and the coercive electric field at annealing temperature of 75$0^{\circ}C$ are 11.60$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 48kV/cm respectively. The dielectric constant and leakage current density at annealing temperature of 75$0^{\circ}C$ are 213 and 1.01x10$^{-8}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. The fatigue characteristics of SBT thin filmsdid not change up to 10$^{10}$ switching cycles.s.s.
