C-axis-oriented ZnO thin films were successfully deposited on p-Si (100) in an RF magnetron sputtering system. Deposition conditions such as deposition power, working pressure, and oxygen gas ratio were varied. Crystalline structures of the deposited ZnO films were investigated by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) technique. Results show that the deposition parameters can have a strong impact on the preferred orientations and grain sizes of the deposited ZnO films.

For fabrication of the pyroelectric IR sensor $(Pb,La)TiO_3(PLT)$/$LiTaO_3$/(LTO)/PLT ferroelectric thin films was deposited by rf magnetron sputtering followed by rapid thermal annealing and the crystallinity as a function of annealing temperature and time was investigated. Permittivity and dielectric loss factor of ferroelectric thin films as a function of c-axis preffered orientation was measured. Also pyroelectric coefficient of ferroelectric thin films with largest c-axis preffered orientation was measured and obtain figure of merit of voltage response($F_V$) and detectivity($F_D$). In this case $F_V$, $F_D$ was $5.63{\times}10^{-10}\;C{\cdot}cm/J$, $1.98{\times}10^{-8}\;C{\cdot}cm/J$, respectively.

Barium ferrite thin films were reactively deposited with Fe and BaO composite targets by a facing tergects sputtering unit. When thermally oxidized silicon wafers were used as substrates, minimum substrate heating of $750^{\circ}C$ was necessary for the perfect c-axis alignment in barium ferrite films. To lower the critical substrate temperature for the good c-axis alignment, such seed layers as ZnO, ${\alpha}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ and ${\gamma}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ were tested. The excellent c-axis algnment of BaM was obtained at a substrate temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ on ZnO seed layer whose (002) plane was parallel to the substrate surface. The magnetic properties of the BaM film showed saturation magnetization of 295 emu/cc, perpendicular coercivity of 1.7 kOe and squareness of 0.75. Optimum deposition rate of $230\;{\AA}/min$ was obtained with the composite target and this was 5 to 20 times higher than those of other investigators with oxide targets.

A film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device for 2 GHz radio frequency (RF) bandpass filter application is presented. This FBAR device consists of an aluminum nitride (AlN) film sandwiched between top(Al) and bottom(Au) electrodes and an acoustic multilayer reflector of a silicon dioxide/tungsten (SiO2/W). The A/N film deposited using a RF sputtering was observed to have small columnar grains with a strongly preferred orientation towards c axis. In addition to a high quality factor (4300), a large return loss of 37.19 dB was obtained.

The standard map for polyerystalline $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$-X was construeted and indexed from pressed tape sintered bulk and compressed bulk samples were drawn by the [001-110-110] stereographie quadrant map and by the ECPs from individual grains of the speeimens. The relationship between the (001) texture development and critical current density (Jc) for various samples was discussed. An (001) orintation was preferred in the pressed tape thickness was decreased. and in the compressed bulk as the compression strain was increaesed.The (001) orientation made a signifieant in crease on Jc. We conclded that an ECP technique was very useful for the analysis of the orientation distribution in small-sized $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$-X specimens such as superonducting tapes or thin films.

The highly c-axis oriented zinc oxide thin films were deposited on Sapphire(0001) substrates by reactive RF magnetron sputtering. The characteristics of zinc oxide thin films on RF power, substrate-target distance, and substrate temperature were investigated by XRD, SEM and EDX analyses. The physical characteristics of zinc oxide thin films changed with various deposition conditions. The higher substrate temperatures were, The better crystallinity of zinc oxide thin films. The highly c-axis oriented zinc oxide thin films were obtained at sputter pressure 5mTorr, rf power 200W, substrate temperature 350.deg. C, substrate-target distance 5.5cm. In these conditions, the resistivity of zinc oxide thin films deposited on pt/sapphire was 12.196*10$^{9}$ [.ohm.cm].

In this paper, Zinc Oxide films, with a high degree of c-axis orientation, have been grown on glass substrates by a rf magnetron sputtering. The maximum crystal orientation was found to occur with substrate temperature 150$^{\circ}C$, input power 190W, oxygen rate 50%, target-substrate distance 55mm. It is proposed to achieve high-resistivity ZnO films by increasing the annealing temperature. The piezoelectric layers, preferred oriented with (002) perpendicular to the layer with 4.9$^{\circ}$, could be obtained by the annealing temperature 300$^{\circ}C$ in oxygen atmosphere. It is indicated that the relative permittivity is range from 8.9 to 9.8 in the frequency ranging from 10KHz to 5MHz.

졸-겔 dip coating법에 의해 제조한 바륨페라이트 박막의 미세구조와 결정학적인 구조 특성에 관해 조사하였다. 기판에 형성된 바륨페라이트 입자는 침상 형태의 입자들로 구성되어 있었으며, C축은 장축 방향이었고, 막 두께가 증가함에 따라 침상형 입자들은 기판에 평행하게 배향하는 경향을 나타내었다. 박막은 바륨페라이트층, Ba, Fe, SiO$_{2}$로 구성되어 있는 중간층, 그리고 기판층인 SiO$_{2}$층으로 구성되어 있었으며, 중간층과 SiO$_{2}$층간의 계면은 Ba 와 SiO$_{2}$간의 화합물로 구성되어 있었다. 침상 형태의 입자는 95$0^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 열처리하므로써 완전히 소실하였고, 130$0^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 열처리하므로써 c면이 기판에 평행하게 위치하는 완전한 육각판상 형태의 입자로 변화되었다.

Highly c-axis oriented nanocrystalline ZnO thin films on silica glass substrates were prepared by spin coating-pyrolysis process with a zinc naphthenate precursor. Only the XRD intensity peak of (002) phase was observed for all samples. With an increase in heat treatment temperature, the peak intensity of (002) phase increases. No significant aggregation of particle was present. From scanning probe microscopy analyses, three-dimensional grain growth, which was thought to be due to inhomogeneous substrate surface and c-axis oriented grain growth of the ZnO phase, was independent on heal-treatment temperature. Highly homogeneous surface of the highly-oriented ZnO film was observed at $800^{\circ}C$. All the films exhibited a high transmittance (above 80%) in visible region except film heat treated at $1000^{\circ}C$, and showed a sharp fundamental absorption edge at about $0.38{\sim}0.40{\mu}m$. The estimated energy band gap for all the films were within the range previously reported for films and single crystal. ZnO films, consisting of densely packed grains with smooth surface morphology were obtained by heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C{\sim}800^{\circ}C$, expected to be ideal for practical application, such as transparent conductive film and optical device.
