Transparent conductive ZnO:Ga thin films were deposited on glass substrates using rf magnetron sputtering method for flat panel display. The ZnO:Ga films were preferentially oriented to c-axis (002) of on substrates. The surface morphology was smooth and had not porous whatever substrate temperature was. The electrical conductivity of the thin films were in the range of $1.6{\times}10^2{\sim}6.7{\times}10^3\;{\Omega}^{-1}cm^{-1}$ at the growth temperature from 50 to $400^{\circ}C$, whereas has a maximum at around $250^{\circ}C$. By combining of XRD and EXAFS, the crystallinity and grain size decreased with increasing substrate temperature corresponding to the reduction of the grain-boundary scattering. The optical transmittance of sputtered ZnO:Ga thin films had an improved about 86% in the UV-visible region.

$Ga_2O_3$ thin films have been grown on Si(001) substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using dimethylgallium isopropoxide ($Me_2GaO^iPr$, DMGIP) with oxygen as the reactant gas. Suitability of the precursor for CVD was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and vapor pressure measurement. Deposition was carried out in the substrate temperature range $450-650^{\circ}C$. Spectroscopic ellipsometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Rutherford back-scattering spectroscopy (RBS) were used to determine the thickness, crystallinity, and composition and stoichiometry of the films, respectively. From the slope of the Arrhenius plot in the temperature range $500-550^{\circ}C$, the activation energy of deposition was found to be $225.5\;kJ\;mol^{-1}$. As-deposited films were amorphous, but the monoclinic $\beta-Ga_2O_3$ phase was revealed after annealing the films in air at $1050^{\circ}C$. The XPS and RBS analyses indicate that the $Ga_2O_3$ films obtained by using DMGIP were found to be almost stoichiometric.

Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films for application as transparent conducting oxide film were deposited on the glass substrate by using rf-magnetron sputtering system. The effects of working pressure on electrical and optical characteristics of GZO films were investigated. Regardless of the working pressure, all films were oriented along with the c-axis, perpendicular to the substrate. The electrical resistivity was about $8.68{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm\sim2.18{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and the average transmittance of all films including substrates was over 90% in the visible range. The good transparents and conducting properties were obtained due to controle the working pressure. The obtained results have acceptable for application as transparent conductive electrodes in LCDs and solar cells.

Ga doped zinc oxide films (ZnO:Ga) were deposited on glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering from a ZnO target mixed with $Ga_O_3$. The effects of RF discharge power on the electrical, optical and structural properties were investigated experimentally. The structural and electrical properties of the film are highly affected by the variation of RF discharge power. The lowest electrical resistivity of $4.9{\times}10^{-4}\;\Omega-cm$ were obtained with the film deposited from 3 wt% of $Ga_2O_3$ doped target and at 200 W in RF discharge power. The transmittance of the 900 nm thin film was 91.7% in the visible waves. The effect of annealing on the as-deposited film was also studied to improve the electrical resistivity of the ZnO:Ga film.

Ga₂O₃ thin films were deposited on Ti substrates using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at temperatures ranging from 350 to 500℃. Lower deposition temperatures were chosen to minimize thermal deformation of the Ti substrate and its impact on the Ga₂O₃ film. Film surfaces tended to become rough at temperatures below 500℃ due to three-dimensional growth, but the film formed at 500℃ had the most uniform surface. All deposited films were amorphous in structure. Vertical Schottky diodes were fabricated and I-V and C-V measurements were performed. I-V measurements showed higher operating voltages compared to a typical SBD for films grown at different temperatures. The sample grown at 500℃, which had the most uniform surface, exhibited the lowest operating voltage. Higher growth temperatures resulted in higher capacitance values according to C-V measurements.

Highly c-axis oriented poly-crystalline GaN with a dimension of $1{\sim}3\;{\mu}m$ was deposited on $c-Al_2O_3$ substrate by vapor transport epitaxy (VTE) method at the temperature range of $900{\sim}1150^{\circ}C$. XRD intensities from (00'2) plane of grown GaNs were increased with reaction conditions which indicate the improvement of the crystal quality. In the PL spectra measured at 10 K, the spectrum composed with the neutral-donor bound exciton-related emission at 3.47 eV, crystal defect-related emission band at 3.42 eV and with its phonon replicas. The fact that intensity of $I_2$ were increased and FWHM were decreased with growth conditions means that the quality of GaN crystals were improved. With this simple VTE technology, we confirm that the GaNs were simply deposited on sapphire substrate and crystal quality related to optical properties of GaN grown by VTE were relatively good. PL emission without deep level emission in spite of polycrystalline structure can be applicable to the fabrication of large area and low cost optical devices using poly-GaN grown by VTE.

P-type transparent conducting $CuGaO_2$ thin films have been prepared by DC/RF sputtering using Quartz(0001) and sapphire(0001) substrates. The target was fabricated by heating a stoichiometric mixture of CuO and $Ga_2O_3$ at 1373K for 12h under $N_2$ atmosphere. The film were deposited under mixture gas of Ar and $O_2(Ar:O_2=4:1)$ during 10~30min. and the as-deposited films were annealed at 1123K and $N_2$ atmosphere. Room temperature conductivity and the activation energy of the sintered body in the temperature range of 223K ~ 423K were 0 004S/cm, 1.9eV, respectively. XRD revealed that all of the as-deposited films were amorphous. Heating of the films deposited on Quartz substrates above 1123K resulted in crystallization with a second phase of $CuSiO_3$, which was assumed owing to reaction with Quartz substrate. The single phase of $CuGaO_2$ was obtained at the film deposited on the sapphire substrates. The transmittance after annealing of DC- and RF-sputtered films were 55~75% at 550nm. From the transmittance and reflectance measurement. the direct band gap of the DC/RF-sputtered films were 3.63eV and 3.57eV. and there was little difference between DC and RF sputtered films.
