TiAlN thin films were prepared by a multi target r.f magnetron sputtering system under different conditions. We have investigated the resistivity and T.C.R. (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) characteristics of TiAlN films deposited on $Al_2O_3$ and glass substrates by sputtering in an $Ar:N_2$ gas mixture. We used Al and Ti metal as Target Material and $Ar:N_2$ gas as working gas. We varied the partial pressure ratio of $N_2/Ar$ from 0.2/7 to 1.0/6.2 (SCCM). And the R.F power of Ti and Al Target also were varied as 160/240, 200/200 and 240/160(W). In this experiment, we can get the precision thin film resistor with a very low T.C.R. (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) below 25 ppm ${\Omega}/^{\circ}C$.

In this parer aluminium-doped zinc oxide(ZnO:Al) conducting layer was deposited on polyethylene terephthalate(PET) substrate by r. f. magnetron sputtering method. The effects of gas pressure and r. f. sputtering power on the structural and electrical properties of ZnO:Al thin film were investigated experimentally. Especially the effect of position of PET substrate on the electrical properties of the film was studied and fixed to improve the electrical properties and also to increase the deposition rate. The results show that the structural and electrical properties of ZnO:Al thin film were strongly influenced by the gas pressure and sputtering power. The minimum resistivity of $1.1{\times}10^{-3}[{\Omega}-cm]$ was obtained at 5[mTorr] of gas pressure, and 18D[W] of sputtering power. The deposition rate of ZnO:Al film at 5[mTorr] of gas pressure was 248[nm/min]. and is higher by around 3 times compared to that at 25[mTorr].

Transparent conducting ZnO:$Ga_2O_3$ thin films were deposited on glass substrates using rf magnetron sputtering method. The ZnO:$Ga_2O_3$ thin films were highly c-axis oriented normal to the substrates and had smooth surface features. The sheet resistance of the films was 2.8-6.4 ${\Omega}/{\square}$ at the growth temperature ranging from 25 to 30$^{\circ}C$.

Cubic boron nitride (c-BN) is a promising material for use in many potential applications because of its outstanding physical properties such as high thermal stability, high abrasive wear resistance, and super hardness. Even though 316L austenitic stainless steel (STS) has poor wear resistance causing it to be toxic in the body due to wear and material chips, 316L STS has been used for implant biomaterials in orthopedics due to its good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Therefore, in the present study, c-BN films with a $B_4C$ layer were applied to a 316L STS specimen in order to improve its wear resistance. The deposition of the c-BN films was performed using an r.f. (13.56 MHz) magnetron sputtering system with a $B_4C$ target. The coating layers were characterized using XPS and SEM, and the mechanical properties were investigated using a nanoindenter. The friction coefficient of the c-BN coated 316L STS steel was obtained using a pin-on-disk according to the ASTM G163-99. The thickness of the obtained c-BN and $B_4C$ were about 220 nm and 630 nm, respectively. The high resolution XPS spectra analysis of B1s and N1s revealed that the c-BN film was mainly composed of $sp^3$ BN bonds. The hardness and elastic modulus of the c-BN measured by the nanoindenter were 46.8 GPa and 345.7 GPa, respectively. The friction coefficient of the c-BN coated 316L STS was decreased from 3.5 to 1.6. The wear property of the c-BN coated 316L STS was enhanced by a factor of two.

Aluminum and hydrogen doped zinc oxide (AZHO) films were prepared by r.f. magnetron sputtering. The structural, electrical, and optical properties of the AHZO films were investigated in terms of the annealing conditions to study the thermal stability. The XRD measurements revealed that the degree of c-axis orientation was decreased and the crystallintiy of the films was deteriorated by the heat treatment. The electrical resistivity was significantly increased when the films were annealed at higher temperature. Although the optical transmittance of AHZO films didn't highly changed by heat treatment, the optical band gap was reduced, regardless of annealing temperature and duration. The thermal stability of AHZO films was worse compared to AZO films.

Tin oxide thin films doped with silicon as anodes for lithium secondary battery were fabricated by R.F. magnetron sputtering technique. The electrochemical results showed that the irreversible capacity was reduced during the first discharge/charge cycle, because the audition of silicon decreased the oxidic state of Tin. Capacity was increased with the increase of substrate temperature, however decreased with the increase of RTA temperatures. The reversible capacity of thin films fabricated under the substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ and the Ar:$O_2$ratio of 7:3 was 700mA/g.

The structural, electrical and gas sensing characteristics of $LaFeO_3$ thin films fabricated by r.f. magnetron sputtering method on $Al_2O_3$ substrates were investigated. (121) domonant crystalline plane was observed for the films heat-treated at above $600^{\circ}C$ and gas sensing properties showed p-type semiconductor behaviors. Gas sensing characteristics of the $LaFeO_3$ thin films was studied as a function of film thicknesses and heat treatment temperatures. While the variation of the film thickness showed a little effect on the sensitivity, the heat treatment temperature was critical to the sensitivity. The thin films with thickness of 400 nm heat-treated at $800^{\circ}C$ showed the sensitivity of 400% for 5000ppm CO and 60% for 350ppm $NH_3$ at the working temperature of $300^{\circ}C$.
