In this study, $(Ba_{0.7}\;Sr_{0.3})TiO_3$ was coated on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si wafer by using Sol-Gel method. Coating process was repeated 3~5 times and then sintered at 750[$^{\circ}C$] for 1 hour. Each specimen was analyzed structure and electrical characteristics. In structure characteristics, EDX analyzed the samples ratio of the formation on the structural property. Thermal behavior was observed with TG-DTA and concluded that the heat-treatment of the samples was degreed 750[$^{\circ}C$]. Surface and section of thin films were observed with SEM.

In this work, we have fabricated the $TiO_2$ thin films on Si and glass, polymer insulator substrates as the self-cleaning coating of polymer insulator. $TiO_2$ films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering method with $TiO_2$ ceramic target and $TiO_2$ films of 100 nm thickness were fabricated with various RF powers. We have investigated the optical and surface, and structural properties of $TiO_2$ films prepared with various RF powers. As a result, the value of the contact angle of $TiO_2$ thin film is increased with increasing RF power and the value of the rms surface roughness is increased. The transmittance is decreased with increasing RF power. These results indicate that the variation of the surface and optical properties of $TiO_2$ thin films is related to the sputtering effects by increasing RF power.

Chemically and geometrically homogeneous mixing of Si3N4 powders with sintering additives(YAG, 3Y2O3$.$5Al2O3) was attempted via coprecipitation method. X-ray dot maps for the additive elements(Al and Y) showed that the additives are evenly distributed in the powder mixture prepared by coprecipitation method(CP). TEM observation of the coprecipittion-treated Si3N4 powders revealed that they are covered with extremely fine crystallites of additive. The shift in isoelectric point(IEP) of Si3N4 powders from pH 6.7 to pH 7.9 after coprecipitation mixing gave another evidence for coating of Si3N4 powders with YAG additives. SIMS analysis for composition on the surface and in the matrix of mixed powders showed that the YAG additives are highly enriched on the surface of coprecipitation-treated Si3N4 powders. Especially when a small amount of additive was used, the effect of homogeneous additive distribution on densification was preceptible: After pressureless-sintering of powder compacts containing 5 mol% YAG at 1800$^{\circ}C$ for 0.5h, a sintered density of 96.5% theoretical was obtained from the specimens prepared bycoprecipitation in comparison with 93.8% from the mechanically-mixed one.

In order to improve the adhesion properties of copper, MPS(3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane) organic film were employed. The plasma pretreatment in pure He or $He/O_{2}$ mixed gas environment greatly increased adhesion force. Adhesion force was measured by scratch test with nano indenter. Microstructures and surface roughness were observed with scanning electron microscope(SEM). The characteristics of MPS layer for pretreatment were studied with flourier transform infrared spectroscope(FT-IR) and contact angle tester. The heighest adhesion was achieved in the specimen pretreated with mixed plasma and NPS coating, which was 56mN. Other specimen showed lower value by $20{\%}$ to $30{\%}$. The roughness of substrate was not affected by the bonding strength of copper plating.

Hybrid composite membranes were prepared by coating poly(ethylene oxide) and $SiO_2$ particles onto the porous polypropylene nonwoven matrix. Gel polymer electrolytes prepared by soaking the hybrid composite membranes in an organic electrolyte solution exhibited ionic conductivities higher than $1.1{\times}10^{-3}Scm^{-1}$ at room temperature. Dyesensitized solar cell (DSSC) employing the hybrid composite membrane with PEO and 10 wt % $SiO_2$ exhibited an open circuit voltage of 0.77 V and a short circuit current of 10.78 $mAcm^{-2}$ at an incident light intensity of 100 $mWcm^{-2}$, yielding a conversion efficiency of 5.2%. DSSC employing the hybrid composite membrane showed more stable photovoltaic performance than that of the DSSC assembled with liquid electrolyte.

To increase the oxidation-resistance of graphite substrate, we have tried to form SiC film on its surface by Sol-Gel method. TEOS(Tetraethyl orthosilicate) and phenol resin have been used as silicon(Si) and carbon(C) sources, respectively. In order to know the effect of the TEOS Sol concentration on the forming of SiC film, we have taken 5 different $H_2O$/TEOS mol ratios of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. And the coating states of SiC on the graphite substrate have been analyzed with X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope (SEM), and we have obtained about 5${\mu}m$, 12${\mu}m$, 7${\mu}m$, 7${\mu}m$ and 2 ${\mu}m$ as the thickness of SiC coating layers, respectively. For also knowing the oxidation resistance the SiC coated graphites at $1600^{\circ}C$ were heated again at $1000^{\circ}C$ under air atmosphere for 1 hr, and as a result we have received the weight losses of 26.17%, 20.97%, 17.28%, 21.73% and 28.13%, respectively.

Model equations for the gas permeation through a ceramic composite membrane were derived for examining the existence of crack, the reproducibility, and the microstructural properties of composite membranes. From the results of analyzing the nitrogen permeability data through alumina-tube supported TiO2 and SiO2 composite membranes, the extent of cracking, and the formation and structure of membrane top-layers were modelled. It was proved that the crack-free and reproducible composite membranes could be easily prepared only by the pore-filled coating within pores of the support in the sol-gel coating process.

Ferroelectric PZT(10/90)PZT(90/10) heterolayered thin films were fabricated by spin-coating method on the Pt/Ti/SiO$^2$/Si substrate alternately using PZT(10/90) and PZT(90/10) metal alkoxide solutions. The coating and heating procedure was repeated six times to form PZT heterolayered films. The surface, cross-sectional microstructures and thickness of the films were observed using scanning electron microscope(SEM). The relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the 5-coated PZT heterolayered films were 1331 and 4.8% respectively.

Nanocrystalline diamond(NCD) coated SiC balls were applied in a ball-on-disk tribometer. After seeding in an ultrasonic bath containing nanometer diamond powders, $2.2{\mu}m$ thick NCD films were deposited on sintered 3 mm diameter SiC balls at $600^{\circ}C$ in a 2.45 GHz microwave plasma CVD system. Bare $ZrO_2$ and SiC balls were prepared for comparison as test balls. Tribology tests were performed in air with pairs of three different balls and mirror polished steel(SKH51) disk. The wear tracks on balls and disks were examined by optical microscope and alpha step profiler. Under the load of 3 N, the friction coefficients of steel against $ZrO_2$, SiC and NCD-coated balls were between 0.4 and 0.8. After a few thousands sliding laps, the friction coefficient of NCD-coated balls dropped from 0.45 to below 0.1 and maintained thereafter. Under a higher load of 10 N or 20 N with a long sliding distance of 2 km, $ZrO_2$ and SiC balls exhibited the similar friction coefficients as above. The friction coefficient of NCD-coated balls was less than 0.1 from the beginning and increased to above 0.1 steadily or with some fluctuations as sliding distance increased. NCD coating layers were found worn out after long duration and/or high load sliding test, which resulted in the friction coefficient higher than 0.1.
