Abstract

Fe/Co and FeN/CoN multilayer films were prepared by using RF and DC magnetron sputter^ ing technique with Ar or a mixture of Ar and $N_{2}$ gas. Annealing treatment was carried out in a vacuum at temperatures between $100^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$ for lhour. Saturation magnetization (MS) and coercivity (Hc) of Fe/Co mutilayer films were investigated as a function of Fe layer thickness and annealing temperature. Permeability ($\mu$) was also examined. Saturation magnetization of 1.8T and coercivity of 1.80e were obtained for the as-deposited Fe/Co($70 \AA /15 \AA$) multilayer film. The Coercivity(Hc) did not change from 1.8 Oe till the annealing temperature $250^{\circ}C$ and then increased rapidly at higher annealing temperatures above $300^{\circ}C$. Coercivity(Hc) measured for the as-deposited FeN/CoN multilayer film was 5 Oe. It decreased gradually with annealing up to $250^{\circ}C$, and then increased rapidly at higher tempera tures.

RF & DC magnetron sputtering장치를 이용하여 Ar과 $Ar+N_{2}$혼합가스분위기에서 Fe/Co및 Fe-N/Co-N다층막을 각각 제조하였다. 제작된 다층막을 $100^{\circ}C$ ~ $500^{\circ}C$로 각각 1시간씩 열처리하였다. Fe막의 두께와 열처리 온도에 따른 Fe/Co다층막의 포화자화와 보자력을 측정하고, 투자율을 조사하였다. Fe/Co(70$\AA$/15$\AA$)다층막에서 포화자화는 1.8Oe이다. 보자력은 열처리 온도 $250^{\circ}C$까지는 일정한 값(1.8Oe)을 가지나. $250^{\circ}C$ ~ $300^{\circ}C$에서는 약간 증가하고, $300^{\circ}C$이상에서는 갑자기 증가한다. 질소 유량비($N_{2}/Ar+N_{2}$)가 4%인 조건에서 제작한 Fe-N/Co-N 다층박막의 보자력은 5Oe이고, 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하다가 $250^{\circ}C$에서 최소값, 2Oe를 나타내고 그 이상의 온도에서 급격히 증가한다.
