MgO thin films with 1000 $\AA$ thickness were deposited on Cu substrates by using an electron gun evaporator at room temperature. A 1000 $\AA$ thick Al layer was deposited on the MgO for removing the charging effect of the MgO thin film during the measurements of the sputtering yields. A Ga ion liquid metal was used as the focused ion beam(FIB) source. The ion beam was focused by using double einzel lenses, and a deflector was employed to scan the ion beams into the MgO layer. Both currents of the secondary particle and the probe ion beam were measured, and they dramatically changed with varying the applied acceleration voltage of the source. The sputtering yield of the MgO layer was determined using the values of the analyzed probe current, the secondary particle current, and the net current. When the acceleration voltage of the FIB system was 15 kV, the sputtering yield of the MgO thin film was 0.30. The sputtering yield of the MgO thin film linearly increases with the acceleration voltage. These results indicate that the FIB system is promising for the measurements of the sputtering yield of the MgO thin film.

In this study, TiAlSiN coatings have been successfully synthesized on stainless steel and tungsten carbide substrate by a hybrid coating method employing a cathodic arc and a magnetron sputtering source. TiAl and Si target were vaporized with the cathodic arc source and the magnetron sputtering source, respectively. Process gas was the mixture of nitrogen and argon gas. With the increase of Si content, the crystallinity and the grain size of TiAlSiN film was decreased. At the Si content of more than 8 at.%, grain size of TiAlSiN was saturated at around 2 nm. The hardness value of the TiAlSiN film increased with incorporation of Si, and had the maximum value of ~ 3,233 Hv at the Si content of 9.2 at.%. The oxidation resistance of TiAlSiN film was enhanced with the increase of Si content.

MgO has been used as the material of the protecting layer for AC PDP. AC PDP is influenced by characteristics of the surface glow discharge on the MgO thin film. Because MgO thin film is practically discharge electrodes, the discharge characteristics of MgO thin film should be varied with the method of deposition. In this study, changing order and time of deposition, we use electron beam evaporation system and R.F reactive magnetron sputtering system in the MgO deposition. Particularly, after using electron beam evaporation system, we use R.F. reactive magnetron sputtering system in the MgO deposition, then we could get lower amount of charge and higher luminance efficiency than only using electron beam evaporation system.

Indium Tin Oxide(ITO) thin film is transparent to visible ray and conductive in electricity. It is seen that the samples made by the sputtering process have high transmission rate to visible ray and high adhesion , but the planar type magnetron sputtering process with is very well known in industrial region have a defect of partial erosion on the surface of target and a high loss of target and also since the substrate is positioned in plasma, the damage on thin film surface is caused by the reaction with plasma. In cylindrical magnetron sputtering system. it is known that the loss of target is little , the damage of thin film is very little and the adhesion of thin film with substrate is strong. In this study, we have made ITO thin film in the cylindrical DC magnetron system with the variable of substrate temperature , magnetic field, vacuum condution and the applied voltage. The general temperature for formation on ITO is asked at 350 $^{\circ}C$~400$^{\circ}C$ but we have made ITO is low temperature(80-150$^{\circ}C$) By studing electrical and optical properties of ITO thin fims made by varing several condition, we have searched the optimal condition for formation in the best ITO in low temperature.

In this work, the ITO thin films were prepared by FTS (Facing Targets Sputtering) system under different sputtering conditions which were varying $O_2$ gas flow, input current at room temperature. As a function of sputtering conditions, electrical and optical properties of prepared ITO thin films were measured. The electrical, optical characteristics and surface roughness of prepared ITO thin films were measured. In the results, as increasing $O_2$ gas 0.1[sccm] to 0.7[sccm], resistivity of ITO thin film was increased with a decreasing carrier concentration, $O_2$ gas over 0.3[sccm] the carrier mobility have a similarly value. Transmittance of prepared ITO thin films were improved at increasing $O_2$ gas 0.1[sccm] to 0.7[sccm]. And transmittance of all of the prepared ITO thin films was over 80%. We could obtain resistivity $6.19{\times}10^{-4}[{\omega}{\cdot}cm]$, carrier mobility $22.9[cm^2/V{\cdot}sec]$, carrier concentration $4.41{\times}10^{20}[cm^{-3}]$ and transmittance over 80% of ITO thin film prepared at working pressure 1mTorr, input current 0.4A without any substrate heating.

최근 ZnO 박막은 투명 박막, 태양전지, LED 등으로의 응용을 위한 새로운 기능성 박막으로 활발히 연구되어 지고 있다. ZnO 기반의 투명 박막 트랜지스터는 상온에서 증착 가능하여 유리기판을 이용한 광학소자와 플라스틱 기판을 이용한 플럭서블 소자 같은 차세대 전자소자를 구현 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 RF Magnetron Sputtering System을 이용하여 coming 1737 유리기판 위에 ZnO 박막을 공정압력에 따라 증착하고, 투명 반도체에 적합한 활용을 위한 구조적, 광학적 분석을 실시하였다. 박막 증착 조건은 초기 압력 $1.0{\times}10^{-6}$Torr, RF 파워는 100W, Ar 유량은 100sccm, 그리고 증착온도는 상온이었다. 증착 압력은 $7.0{\times}10^{-3}$, $2.0{\times}10^{-2}$, $7.0{\times}10^{-2}$Torr로 변화시켰다. 표면 분석 (SEM, AFM) 결과 증착압력이 고진공으로 변화함에 따라 결정립들이 감소하였고 RMS roughness값이 낮아졌다. 그리고 XRD 분석을 통해 피크강도는 증가하고 FWHM은 감소함을 보이고 있는데 이는 결정성이 좋아짐을 나타낸다. 그리고 광학 투과도를 통해 가시광 영역에서의 높은 투과도(85% 이상)을 확인하였고, 고진공으로 변화함에 따라 밴드갭이 넓어지는 것을 확인하였다.
