Passivation quality is mainly governed by epitaxial growth of crystalline silicon wafer surface. Void-rich intrinsic a-Si:H interfacial layer could offer higher resistivity of the c-Si surface and hence a better device efficiency as well. To reduce the resistivity of the contact area, a modification of void-rich intrinsic layer of a-Si:H towards more ordered state with a higher density is adopted by adapting its thickness and reducing its series resistance significantly, but it slightly decreases passivation quality. Higher resistance is not dominated by asymmetric effects like different band offsets for electrons or holes. In this study, multilayer of intrinsic a-Si:H layers were used. The first one with a void-rich was a-Si:H(I₁) and the next one a-SiO_x:H(I₂) were used, where a-SiO_x:H(I₂) had relatively larger band gap of ~2.07 eV than that of a-Si:H (I₁). Using a-SiO_x:H as I₂ layer was expected to increase transparency, which could lead to an easy carrier transport. Also, higher implied voltage than the conventional structure was expected. This means that the a-SiO_x:H could be a promising material for a high-quality passivation of c-Si. In addition, the i-a-SiO_x:H microstructure can help the carrier transportation through tunneling and thermal emission.

Silicon carbide ceramics with sintering additives from the system AlN-Y$_2$O$_3$ can be gas-pressure sintered to theoretical density. While commonly a combination of sesquioxides is used such as Al$_2$O$_3$-Y$_2$O$_3$, the oxynitrid additives offer the advantage that only a nitrogen atmosphere is require instead of a powder. By starting form a mixture of ${\beta}$-SiC and ${\alpha}$-SiC, and by performing dedicated heat treatments after densification, anisotropic grain growth is obtained which leads to a platelet microstructure showing enhance fracture toughness. In the present work, recent improvement of the mechanical behaviour of these materials at ambient and high temperatures is reported. By means of a surface oxidation treatment in air it is possible to obtain four-point bending strengths in excess of 1 GPa, and the strength retention at high temperatures is significantly improved.

The Ti adhesion layers were deposited onto the glass substrate for transparent capacitors using $Bi_2Mg_{2/3}Nb_{4/3}O_7$ (BMNO) dielectric thin films. Graphene was transferred onto the Ti/glass substrate after growing onto the Ni/$SiO_2$/Si using rapid-thermal pulse CVD (RTPCVD). The BMNO dielectric thin films were investigated for the microstructure, dielectric and leakage properties in the case of capacitors with and without Ti adhesion layers. Leakage current and dielectric properties were strongly dependent on the Ti adhesion layers grown for graphene bottom electrode.

The deposited thin films were heat-treated for crystallization. Microstructure and crystallization behavior were examined using FE-SEM, XRD. Ferroelectric hysteresis were measured. The measured remanent polarization and coercive field values were $38{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 120kV/cm, respectively.

Pb(Zr, Ti)$O_3$ ferroelectric thin layers were deposited onto Pt/$SiO_2$/Si substrates by Sol-Gel processing and annealed by RTA at $600^{\circ}C$ for $20{\sim}30\;sec$. microstructure of the films was examined by XRD and SEM analysis. Electrical properties of PZT thin films with different Zr/Ti ratio yield $P_r$ ranging $10{\sim}21{\mu}C/cm^2$, $E_c$, ranging $37.5{\sim}137.5\;kV/cm$, switching times faster than 180nsec, and leakage current about $20{\mu}A/cm^2$. The film was endured about $10^{10}$ fatigue cycles.

Matrices retaining electrolyte in phosphoric acid fuel cell were prepared with SiC to SiC whisker mixing ratios of 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:3 by tape casting method. When viscosity of the slurry was 5.9 poise and the SiC to SiC whisker mixing ratios were 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, the ranges of porosity, acid absorbency and bubble pressure were 80~90%, 2.5~6 and 700~2200 mmH2O, respectively. Those ranges are acceptable for a practical electrolyte-retaining matrix. With increasing the mixing ratio of SiC whisker to SiC, the porosity and the vol.% of large pores in the main pore size distribution which is between 1 and 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, increased rapidly. Impedance spectroscopy was measured to know characteristics of matrix inside and contact region of matrix to catalyst layer. When the SiC to SiC whisker mixing ratio was 1:2, hydrogen ions were transported in the matrix most effectively because of high ionic conductivity and low activation energy due to high acid absorbency in spite of high interfacial resistance. The cell current density of the cell made using the matrix was 220 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 0.7 V.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ 단일 타게트를 사용하여 R. F. 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 MgO(100), Si(100)기판 위에 박막을 증착한 후, $880^{\circ}C$의 산소 분위기에서 1시간 동안 열처리를 하였다. 열처리 전 박막의 미세한 조성변화에 의해서도 열처리 후 박막의 미세구조 및 전기적 특성은 크게 변화했다. MgO(100)기판의 표면에 성장되는 입자들은 선택 배향적으로 성장하려는 경향을 가지므로 가늘고 길쭉한 입자 형상을 띠는 반면에 이들 입자위에 성장되는 다른 입자들은 결정 성장 방향의 선호도가 없으므로 둥근 모양의 입자형상을 가진다. 열처리 전 박학의 조성이 1-2-3을 벗어나면 증착 후 열처리할 때 액상이 형성되며, 액상의 양이 많을수록 선택 배향적 성장이 용이해져 texture를 쉽게 이룬다. 그러나 이러한 액상은 냉각 시에 초전도입자의 입계에 이차상으로 형성되기 때문에 초전도 박막의 전기적 특성, 특히 임계온도를 저하시킨다. 또한 $T_{c,\;zero}$는 $T_{c,\;on}$에 비해서 입계에 형성되는 이차상의 영향을 더 크게 받는다.

The mullite-15v/o ZrO2 composites were prepared by dispersing ZrO2-3m/o Y2O3 powders into the mullite matrix in order to improve the mechanical properties of the mullite. The densification and retention of t-ZrO2 in the matrix of synthetic mullite were also investigated. From IR spectroscopic analysis, the obtained amorphous SiO2-Al2O3 powder was observed to have Si-O-Al chemical bond in its structure which might result in the homogeneous mullite composition. The lattice parameter of the mullite powder calcined above 130$0^{\circ}C$ (a0=7.5468$\AA$) is nearly close to the value of stoichiometric mullite (71.8wt% Al2O3, a0=7.5456$\AA$). The sintering behavior, microstructure, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the mullite and mullite-15v/o ZrO2 composites have been studied. The mullite-15v/o ZrO2(+3m/o Y2O3) ceramics with relative densities of 96% were obtained when sintered at 1$600^{\circ}C$. The flexural strength and fractrue toughness of the composites sintered at 1$600^{\circ}C$(calcination temperature of mullite powders ; 125$0^{\circ}C$) had maximum values of 307MPa and 2.50MPa.m1/2, respectively. The fracture toughness improvement in the mullite-ZrO2 cmoposite is assumed to be resulted from the combined effect of the stress-induced phase transformation of tetragonal ZrO2 and the crack deflection due to microcracking by the monoclinic ZrO2 formation.

Colloidal particles consisted of individual nanosized magnetite grains on the surface of the silica cores were obtained by two-stage sol-gel technique. Size distribution and microstructure of the particles were analyzed using atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Nitrogen thermal desorption. Magnetic properties of the particles were studied by the method of the longitudinal nonlinear response. It has been shown that nanoparticles of magnetite have a size corresponding to a superparamagnetic state but exhibit hysteresis properties. The phenomenon was explained using the magnetostatic interaction model based on the hypothesis of iron oxide particles cluster aggregation on the silica surface.

The purpose of this study is to improve hardness and wear resistance of high strength yellow brass by adding Fe, Cr, Mn, Si and Ni. Results showed that NiO, $FeCr_2O_4$ and intermetallic compound $Mn_5Si_3$ were produced when Ni, Fe-Cr and Mn-Si were added to the yellow brass. The hardness and wear tests showed the best results with the presence of the product precipitates and intermetallic compound. The calculation of relative wear resistance by volume fraction of each phases showed that the relative wear resistance of $Mn_5Si_3$ had the highest value, that of ${\beta}$ phase had the lowest. Observation of the worn surface showed that the main wear mechanism were found to be the abrasive wear, and also showed that the wear is caused by mechanical failure at the early stage.
