Magnetostrictive thin films can be applied in transmission system for the enhancement of energy efficiency. In this study, four kinds of substrates (Si, glass, Fe, polyimide) with the magnetostrictive thin film layers are prepared and investigated to characterize the magnetic and mechanical behaviors due to the substrates effects. The fabricated substrates have thicknesses of 50, 150 and 500um with cantilever shape. TbDyFe films are deposited by DC magnetron sputtering with 1～10m thick. The deposited film thicknesses are verified using X-ray diffraction. The magnetization of each sample is examined using VSM(Vibrating Sample Magnetometer) and magnetostriction is also measured using capacitance method to characterize magneto-mechanical behaviors. The magnetostriction results as deflections are compared and the results are discussed for micro actuator applications.

비정질 Tb45.7 Fe54.3-x /Cox 및 Tb50.2 /Fe 49.8-x/Cox (0≤x≤9.6) 합금박막의 자기적 특성 및 자기변형특성에 대하여 체계적으로 조사하였다. 박막제조는 Fe 타게트에 Tb, Co 소편으로 구성된 복합타겟 방식의 rf 마그네트론 스퍼터링법에 의해 제조하였다. XRD 조사에의 한 박막의 미세구조는 잘 발달된 비정질 구조를 나타내었다. Tb45.7 Fe54.3-x Cox (x=2~4)에서 우수한 고유자기변형특성 및 저자기장자기변형특성을 얻었다. 즉, 100 Oe의 저자장에서 130ppm의 자기변형을 나타내었으며 고유자기변형 (인가 자기장, 5 kOe)은 330ppm에서 400ppm으로 증가하였다.
