ZnO-Si-ZnO multi-layer thin films have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). And then, the films have been annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ in oxygen ambient pressure. Electrical properties of the films were improved slightly than ZnO thin film without Si layer. Also, the optical and structural properties changed by Si layer in ZnO thin film. The optical and structural properties of Si-doped ZnO thin films were characterized by PL(Photoluminescence) and XRD(X-ray diffraction method) respectively. Electrical properties were measured by van der Pauw Hall measurements.

Characteristics of thin-film NTC thermal sensors fabricated by micromachining technology were studied as a function of the thickness of membrane. The overall-structure of thermal sensor has a form of Au/Ti/NTC/$SiO_{X}$/(100)Si. NTC film of $Mn_{1.5}CoNi_{0.5}O_{4}$ with 0.5 mm in thickness was deposited on $SiO_{X}$ layer (1.2 mm) by PLD (pulsed laser deposition) and annealed at 873-1073 K in air for 1 hour. Au(200 nm)/Ti(100 nm) electrode was coated on NTC film by dc sputtering. By the results of microstructure, X-ray and NTC analysis, post-annealed NTC films at 973 K for 1 hour showed the best characteristics as NTC thermal sensing film. In order to reduce the thermal mass and thermal time constant of sensor, the sensing element was built-up on a thin membrane with the thickness of 20-65 mm. Sensors with thin sensing membrane showed the good detecting characteristics.

We have investigated the gate insulator effects on the electrical performance of p-type tin monoxide (SnO) thin-film transistors (TFTs). Various SnO TFTs are fabricated with different gate insulators of a thermal $SiO_2$, a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) $SiO_x$, a $150^{\circ}C$-deposited PEVCD $SiO_x$, and a $300^{\circ}C$-deposited PECVD $SiO_x$. Among the devices, the one with the $150^{\circ}C$-deposited PEVCD $SiO_x$ exhibits the best electrical performance including a high field-effect mobility ($=4.86cm^2/Vs$), a small subthreshold swing (=0.7 V/decade), and a turn-on voltage around 0 (V). Based on the X-ray diffraction data and the localized-trap-states model, the reduced carrier concentration and the increased carrier mobility due to the small grain size of the SnO thin-film are considered as possible mechanisms, resulting in its high electrical performance.

Flat-panel displays have been growing as an essential everyday product in the current information/communication ages in the unprecedented speed. The forward-coming applications require light-weightness, higher speed, higher resolution, and lower power consumption, along with the relevant cost. Such specifications demand for a new concept-based materials and applications, unlike Si-based technologies, such as amorphous Si and polycrystalline Si thin film transistors. Since the introduction of the first concept on the oxide-based thin film transistors by Hosono et al., amorphous oxide thin film transistors have been gaining academic/industrial interest, owing to the facile synthesis and reproducible processing despite of a couple of shortcomings. The current work places its main emphasis on the binary oxides composed of ZnO and SnO2. RF sputtering was applied to the fabrication of amorphous oxide thin film devices, in the form of bottom-gated structures involving highly-doped Si wafers as gate materials and thermal oxide (SiO2) as gate dielectrics. The physical/chemical features were characterized using atomic force microscopy for surface morphology, spectroscopic ellipsometry for optical parameters, X-ray diffraction for crystallinity, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for identification of chemical states. The combined characterizations on Zn-Sn-O thin films are discussed in comparison with the device performance based on thin film transistors involving Zn-Sn-O thin films as channel materials, with the aim to optimizing high-performance thin film transistors.

We studied homeotropic alignment effect for a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) on the $SiO_{x}$ thin film irradiated by the new ion beam method. $SiO_{x}$ thin films were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and were treated by the DuoPIGatron ion source. A uniform liquid crystal alignment effect was achieved over 2100 eV ion beam energy. Tilt angle were about $90^{\circ}$ and were not affected by various ion beam energy.

비메모리 반도체 미세 Cu배선의 전기적 신뢰성 향상을 위해 SiN_x 피복층(capping layer)과 Cu 배선 사이 50 nm 두께의 Co 박막층 삽입이 계면 신뢰성에 미치는 영향을 double-cantilever beam (DCB) 접착력 측정법으로 평가하였다. DCB 평가 결과 SiN_x/Cu 구조는 계면접착에너지가 0.90 J/㎡이었으나 SiN_x/Co/Cu 구조에서는 9.59 J/㎡으로 SiN_x/Cu 구조보다 약 10배 높게 측정되었다. 대기중에서 200℃, 24시간 동안 후속 열처리 진행한 결과 SiN_x/Cu 구조는 0.93 J/㎡으로 계면접착에너지의 변화가 거의 없는 것으로 확인되었으나 SiN_x/Co/Cu 구조에서는 2.41 J/㎡으로 열처리 전보다 크게 감소한 것을 확인하였다. X-선 광전자 분광법 분석 결과 SiN_x/Cu 도금층 사이에 Co를 증착 시킴으로써 SiN_x/Co 계면에 CoSi₂ 반응층이 형성되어 SiN_x/Co/Cu 구조의 계면접착에너지가 매우 높은 것으로 판단된다. 또한 대기중 고온에서 장시간 후속 열처리에 의해 SiN_x/Co 계면에 지속적으로 유입된 산소로 인한 Co 산화막 형성이 계면접착에너지 저하의 주요인으로 판단된다.

The $V_{1.85}W_{0.15}O_5$ thin films deposited on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates by RF sputtering method exhibited fairly good TCR and dielectric properties. It was found that film crystallinity, dielectric properties, and TCR properties were strongly dependent upon the annealing temperature. The dielectric constants of the $V_{1.85}W_{0.15}O_5$ thin films annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ were 38.11, with a dielectric loss of 1%, respectively. Also, the TCR values of the $V_{1.85}W_{0.15}O_5$ thin films annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ were about -3.45%/K.

Glass/SiNx/ZnO 적층 박막구조의 SAW 특성 변화를 분석하였다. ZnO 박막은 rf magnetron sputter를 이용하여, 산소를 반응성 가스로 Ar과 함께 진공챔버내에 주입시켜 증착하였고, 주로 산소량에 따른 박막의 특성변화를 관찰하였다. 산소분압은 ZnO 박막의 증착속도 및 결정성에 많은 영향을 주고 있었으며, rocking curve의 결과에 의하면 (002) 배향성을 가진 ZnO 박막의 c-축 수직도가 Ar과 산소의 유량비가 67/33에서 가장 좋은 2.17도를 보여주고 있다. 이 값은 ZnO 박막을 압전요소로 사용하기에 충분한 조건이다. SiNx의 두께를 7000Å, ZnO 박막의 두께를 5μm로 한 glass/SiNx/Al/ZnO의 박막 적층 구조의 SAW 특성을 보면 ZnO/glass 구조와 비교시 SAW 속도가 최대 2.2%까지 증가했음을 알 수 있었다.

The BST thin films to composite (Ba$\sub$x/Sr$\sub$l-x/)TiO$_3$ using sol-gel method were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate. The thin film capacitor to be ferroelectric materials was investigated by structural and electrical properties. BST solution was composited by moi ratio, and then spin-coated (from 3 times to 5 times coating on Pt/SiO$_2$/Si substrate. Thickness of BST ceramics thin films are about 2600∼2800[${\AA}$] in 3 times deposition. The property of leakage current was stable when the applied voltage was 3[V]. Leakage current of 3 times coated BST thin film was 10$\^$-9/∼10$\^$-11/[A] at 0∼3[V].

Vapor phase epitaxy(VPE)법을 사용하여 amorphous $SiO_x$. nanowires를 성장시켰다. Ni thin film을 촉매로 사용하여 Si 기판위에 $800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ 범위의 온도에서 성장시켰으며, $SiO_x$ nanowires의 성장 메커니즘은 Vapor-liquid-solid(VLS)으로 확인되었다. $SiO_x$ nanowires의 shape와 morphology는 scanning electron microscope(SEM)으로 분석하였으며, cotton-like형태이고 길이는 $10{\mu}m$정도였다. 그리고 구조적 특징은 transmission electron microscope(TEM)으로 관찰하였고, $SiO_x$ nanowires의 성분 분석은 energy dispersed X-ray spectroscopy(EDS)로 하였다. EDX spectrum으로 nanowires가 Si와 O로 구성되어졌음을 확인하였다.
