Rare earth metal films have been used as a buffer layer for growing ferroelectric t thin film or a seed layer for magnetic multilayer. But when it was deposited on s semiconductor substrates for the application of magneto-optic (MO) storage media, it i is difficult to exactly measure magnetic cons떠nts due to shunting current, and so it n needs to grow metal films on insulator substrate to reduce such effect. Recently, it w was reported that ultra-thin Pt layer were epitaxially grown on A12O:J by ion beam s sputtering in 비떠 high vacuum and it can be used as a seed layer for the growth of C Co-contained magnetic multilayer. In this stu$\phi$, Pt thin film were epi떠xially grown on AI2D3 ($\alpha$)OJ) by RF magnetron s sputtering. The crystalline structure was analyzed by transmission electron microscope ( (TEM) and Rutherford Back Scattering (RBS)/Ion Channeling. In TEM study, Pt was b believed to be twinned on AI잉3($\alpha$)01) su$\pi$ace about Pt(ll1) plane.Moreover, RBS c channeling spectra showed that minimum scattering yield of Pt(111)/AI2O:J(1$\alpha$)OJ) was 4 4% and Pt(11J)/AI2D3($\alpha$)OJ) had 3-fold symmetry.

High temperature anneal of W-rich silicides, inferior to adherence compared with Si-rich silicides, resulted in the film peeling off from the Si-substrate when WSix thickness reached more than critical thickness. Investigation of the W-rich silicide films peeling off from the substrate revealed that the voids underneath the $WSi_2$ produced through silicide reaction were responsible for the poor adherence of W-rich silicide. In addition, internal stress in the film increased as the silicide thickness increased. In order to promote the adhesion of WSix to Si-substrate, thin Ti-layer was formed between WSi and Si-substrate(WSix/Ti/Si). No voids were observed in $WSi_2$/Ti/Si $N_2$-annealed at $1000^{\circ}C$, thereby leading to an increase of the critical thickness from ～1700$\AA$ to more than 2500$\AA$. However, higher resisiti-vity was obtained in WSix/Ti/Si than in WSix/Si. Finally, different silicide reaction mechanism for the structures(WSix/Si, WSix/Ti/Si) was proposed to explain the formation of voids as well as the role of thin Ti-layer.

The ZnO thin films were grown on GaN template substrates by RF magnetron sputtering at different RF powers and n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunction LEDs were fabricated to investigate the effect of the RF power on the characteristics of the n-ZnO/p-GaN LEDs. For the growth of the ZnO thin films, the substrate temperature was kept constant at $200^{\circ}C$ and the RF power was varied within the range of 200 to 500W at different growth times to deposit films of 100 nm thick. The electrical, optical and structural properties of ZnO thin films were investigated by ellipsometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL) and by assessing the Hall effect. The characteristics of the n-ZnO/p-GaN LEDs were evaluated by current-voltage (I-V) and electroluminescence (EL) measurements. ZnO thin films were grown with a preferred c-axis orientation along the (0002) plane. The XRD peaks shifted to low angles and the surface roughness became non-uniform with an increase in the RF power. Also, the PL emission peak was red-shifted. The carrier density and the mobility decreased with the RF power. For the n-ZnO/p-GaN LED, the forward current at 20 V decreased and the threshold voltage increased with the RF power. The EL emission peak was observed at approximately 435 nm and the luminescence intensity decreased. Consequently, the crystallinity of the ZnO thin films grown with RF sputtering powers were improved. However, excess Zn affected the structural, electrical and optical properties of the ZnO thin films when the optimal RF power was exceeded. This excess RF power will degrade the characteristics of light emitting devices.

The TiN, thin films were prepared on glass substrate by RF(radio-frequency) magnetron sputtering apparatus from a Ti target in a gaseous mixture of argon and nitrogen. In deposition, a RF power supply was used as a power source with a constant power of 240W, and the substrate was heated to $200^{\circ}C$. The films were obtained at nitogen flow rates in the range 3-9 sccm with a constant argon flow rate of 20 secm. For the films obtained, the sheet resistance and the chemical binding energy of the films was observed by four-point-probe method and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) depth profiling respectively. In addition, we investigated the relationship between the surface resistance and the chemical nature of the films.

The pure and carbon (C)-doped $MgB_2$ thin films were fabricated on $Al_2O_3$ (0001) substrates at a temperature of $650^{\circ}C$ by using hot-filament-assisted hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition technique. The $T_c$ value for pure $MgB_2$ film is 38.5 K, while it is between 30 and 35 K for carbon-doped $MgB_2$ films. Expansion in c-axis lattice parameter was observed with increase in carbon doping concentration which is in contrast to carbon-doped $MgB_2$ single crystals. Significant enhancement in the critical current density was obtained for C-doped $MgB_2$ films as compared to the undoped $MgB_2$ film. This enhancement is most probably due to the incorporation of C into $MgB_2$ and the high density of grain boundaries, both help in the pinning of vortices and result in improved superconducting performance.

This paper describes the characteristics of a poly 3C-SiC micro heater which was fabricated on $AlN(0.1{\mu}m)/3C-SiC(1.0{\mu}m)$ suspended membranes by surface micro- machining technology. The 3C-SiC and AlN thin films which have wide energy bandgap and very low lattice mismatch were used sensors for high temperature and voltage environments. The 3C-SiC thin film was used as micro heaters and temperature sensor materials simultaneously. The implemented 3C-SiC RTD (resistance of temperature detector) and the power consumption of micro heaters were measured and calculated. The TCR (thermal coefficient of the resistance) of 3C-SiC RTD is about -5200 $ppm/^{\circ}C$ within a temperature range from $25^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$ and -1040 $ppm/^{\circ}C$ at $500^{\circ}C$. The micro heater generates the heat about $500^{\circ}C$ at 10.3 mW. Moreover, durability of 3C-SiC micro heaters in high voltages is better than pt micro heaters. A thermal distribution measured and simulated by IR thermovision and COMSOL is uniform on the membrane surface.
