We have grown large area BSTO($(Ba_{1-x}Sr_x)TiO_3$) thin films (x=0.4) on 2 inch diameter MgO (001) single crystal substrates using a pulse laser deposition(PLD) system. Substrate temperature and oxygen pressure in the deposition chamber, and the laser optics for ablating a target have been controlled to obtain the uniform thickness and preferred orientation of the films. Results of x-ray diffraction and rocking curve analysis revealed that the BSTO films were grown on MgO substrates with a preferred orientation (002), and the full width half maximum of the rocking curve was measured to be 0.86 degree at optimum condition. Roughness of the films have been measured to be $3.42{\AA}$ rms by using atomic force microscopy. We have successfully deposited the large area BSTO thin films of $4000{\AA}$ thickness on 50 mm diameter MgO substrates.

Resistive-change random access memory (ReRAM) device is one of the promising candidates owing to its simple structure, high scalability potential and low power operation. Many resistive switching devices using transition metal oxides materials such as NiO, Al2O3, ZnO, HfO2, $TiO_2$, have attracting increased attention in recent years as the next-generation nonvolatile memory. Among various transition metal oxides materials, HfO2 has been adopted as the gate dielectric in advanced Si devices. For this reason, it is advantageous to develop an HfO2-based ReRAM devices to leverage its compatibility with Si. However, the annealing temperature of these high-k thin films for a suitable resistive memory switching is high, so there are several reports for low temperature process including microwave irradiation. In this paper, we demonstrate the bipolar resistive switching characteristics in the microwave irradiation annealing processed Ag/HfO2/Pt ReRAM device. Compared to the as-deposited Ag/HfO2/Pt device, highly improved uniformity of resistance values and operating voltage were obtained from the micro wave annealing processed HfO2 ReRAM device. In addition, a stable DC endurance (>100 cycles) and a high data retention (>104 sec) were achieved.

The $Sr_{0.8}Bi_{2.4}Ta_2O_9(SBT)$ thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode($Pt/TiO_2/SiO_2/Si$) using RF magnetron sputtering method. With increasing post-annealing temperature from $600[^{\circ}C]$ to $850[^{\circ}C]$, Bi-layered perovskite phase was crystallized above $650[^{\circ}C]$. The maximum remanent polarization and the coercive electric field is 11.60[${\mu}C/cm^{2}$] 48[kV/cm] respectively. The leakage current density of SBT capacitor at post-annealing temperature of $750[^{\circ}C]$ is $1.01{\times}10^{-8}A/cm^2$ at 100[kV/cm]

To improve the leakage current, we developed two step sputtering method where PZT thin film in first deposited at room temperature followed by 600.deg. C deposition. The method used an amorphous PZT layer deposited at room temperature to keep a stable interface during sputtering at high temperature. PZT thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO$_{2}$/Si substrate at room temperature and 600.deg. C sequentially. The effect of the layer deposited at room temperature was investigated with regard to I-V characteristics and P-E hysteresis loop. In the case of the sample with the layer deposited at room temperature, both leakage current and dielectric constant were decreased. The thicker the layer deposited at room temperature was, the lower dielectric constant was. However, leakage current was indepenent of the variation of the thickness ratio. The sample with 200$\AA$ of the layer deposited at room temperature showed the most promising results in both dielectric constant and leakage current.

We fabricate PLT(5) thin film on Pt/TiO/sub x/SiO₂/Si substrate by using sol-gel method and investigate leakage current, switching and retention properties. The leakage current density of PLT(5) thin film is 3.56×10/sup -7/A/㎠ at 4V. In the examination of switching properties, pulse voltage and load resistance were 2V～5V and 50Ω～3.3kΩ, respectively. Switching time has a tendency to decrease from 0.52㎲ to 0.14㎲ with the increase of pulse voltage, and also the time increases from 0.14㎲ to 13.7㎲ with the increase of load resistance. The activation energy obtained from the relation of applied pulse voltage and switching time is about 135kV/cm. The error of switched charge density between hysteresis loop and experiment of polarization switching is about 10%. Also, polarization in retention decreases as much as about 8% after l0/sup 5/s.

Semiconductor thick film gas sensors based on tin oxide are fabricated and their gas response characteristics are examined for four simulant gases of chemical warfare agent (CWA)s. The sensing materials are prepared in three different sets. 1) The Pt or Pd $(1,\;2,\;3\;wt.\%)$ as catalyst is impregnated in the base material of $SnO_2$ by impregnation method.2) $Al_2O_3\;(0,\;4,\;12,\;20\;wt.\%),\;In_2O_3\;(1,\;2,\;3\;wt.\%),\;WO_3\;(1,\;2,\;3\;wt.\%),\;TiO_2\;(3,\;5,\;10\;wt.\%)$ or $SiO_2\;(3,\;5,\;10\;wt.\%)$ is added to $SnO_2$ by physical ball milling process. 3) ZnO $(1,\;2,\;3,\;4,\;5\;wt.\%)$ or $ZrO_2\;(1,\;3,\;5\;wt.\%)$ is added to $SnO_2$ by co-precipitation method. Surface morphology, particle size, and specific surface area of fabricated sensing films are performed by the SEM, XRD and BET respectively. Response characteristics are examined for simulant gases with temperature in the range 200 to $400^{\circ}C$, with different gas concentrations. These sensors have high sensitivities more than $50\%$ at 500ppb concentration for test gases and also have shown good repetition tests. Four sensing materials are selected with good sensitivity and stability and are fabricated as a sensor array A sensor array Identities among the four simulant gases through the principal component analysis (PCA). High sensitivity is acquired by using the semiconductor thick film gas sensors and four CWA gases are classified by using a sensor array through PCA.

We have fabricated the direct-coupled planar type 1st-order SQUID gradiometers. The gradiometer consists of moats or slots in SQUID loop. It is made by YBa$_2Cu_3O_7$ thin films using pulsed laser deposition method on SrTiO$_3$ single crystal and bi-crystal substrates. We have studied the effects of slots and moats in SQUID loop by measuring the voltage modulation signals under uniform field and 1st-order gradient, and the noise properties under non-shielded environment.

Dual mode resonators were fabricated using high temperature superconductor. The deposited material was $Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(YBCO) on MgO(100) substrate using pulsed laser deposition. Dual mode resonators were patterned by standard photolithography process and wet etching. At the back-side of the substrate, the ground plane with the metal layer of Ti and Ag was fabricated. The transition temperatures of YBCO films were 85-88 K, and network analyzer was used for testing the performance of the resonators. The input/output feedline angles of each resonator were $60^{\circ}$and $100^{\circ}$. The resonant frequency of resonators was 10 GHz. In this paper, dual mode resonator was fabricated for the application of satellite communication.
