Nanoparticle size of Titanium dioxide thin films was prepared by novel method. Particle size and surface structure of $TiO_2$ thin films were investigated by atomic force microscopy(AFM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM). All thin films process were prepared at room temperature. Particle size was reduced from 100 to 30nm with increasing amount of $Ti[OCH(CH_3)_2]_4$ observed by AFM images. All thin films were irradiated for 5 minutes by white light. Increasing the annealing temperature, particles size was increased. In the $TiO_2$(40%) thin films was annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ for 30minutes, the particle size was about 10nm.

Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 (PZT) (Zr:Ti= 52: 48) thin films were prepared on MgO(100) substrates by dipping-py-rolysis process using metal naphthenates as starting materials. Thin films were fabricated by spin coating technique and the precursor films were prefired at 20$0^{\circ}C$ in air for 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 24 h followed by final heat treatment at 75$0^{\circ}C$ for 30min. Film prefired for 24 h lost orientational properties and pole figure analysis showed the lost of the epitaxial relationship between the films and substrate while highly a/c-axis oriented thin films were obtained for the samples prefired for 1, 2, and 3h.

Polycrystalline $Ti_{1-x}Co_xO_2$ thin films on $SiO_2$ (200 nm)/Si (100) substrates were prepared using liquid-delivery metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Microstructures and ferromagnetic properties were investigated as a function of doped Co concentration. Ferromagnetic behaviors of polycrystalline films were observed at room temperature, and the magnetic and structural properties strongly depended on the Co distribution, which varied widely with doped Co concentration. The annealed $Ti_{1-x}Co_xO_2$ thin films with $x{\leq}0.05$ showed a homogeneous structure without any clusters, and pure ferromagnetic properties of thin films are only attributed to the $Ti_{1-x}Co_xO_2$ (TCO) phases. On the other hand, in case of thin films above x=0.05, Co clusters formed in a homogeneous $Ti_{1-x}Co_xO_2$ Phase, and the overall ferromagnetic (FM) properties depended on both $FM_{TCO}$ and $FM_{Co}$. Co clusters with about 10nm-150nm size decreased the value of Mr (the remanent magnetization) and increased the saturation magnetic field.

In and Ga doped ZnO (IGZO) thin films were prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering without intentional substrate heating on glass substrate and TiO2-deposited glass substrates to consider the effect of a thin TiO2 buffer layer on the optical and electrical properties of the films. The thicknesses of the TiO2 buffer layer and IGZO films were kept constant at 5 and 100 nm, respectively. Since the IGZO/TiO2 bi-layered films show the higher FOM value than that of the IGZO single layer films, it is supposed that the IGZO/TiO2 bi-layered films will likely perform better in TCO applications than IGZO single layer films.

The optical and dielectric properties of TiO$_2$ thin films prepared with mixtures of Epoxy, bits-(4, 4'-p-toluenesulfonylacidic isoproplylidene)-cyclohexadiol and UVI 6990 in dry sol-gel process were investigated. The absorption peak of the films was showed at 360nm. Photocurrent of the thin films doped with 50 wt% of TiO$_2$was higher than that of nondoped thin films. Energy gap was lowered from 3.6 to 3.3 eV with increasing amount of TiO$_2$. Relative dielectric constants of samples were 1.5 to 3 and showed a characteristics of lower dielectric materials.

The structural properties of $(Bi,Ce)_4Ti_3O_{12}(BCT)$ thin films with post-annealing temperature were investigated. $(Bi,Ce)_4Ti_3O_{12}(BCT)$ thin films were deposited by RF sputtering method on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates with optimum deposition condition. The $(Bi,Ce)_4Ti_3O_{12}(BCT)$ thin films was post-annealed at 600$^{\circ}C$, 650$^{\circ}C$, 700$^{\circ}C$, 750$^{\circ}C$, 800$^{\circ}C$ in furnace,respectively. Increasing the post-annealing temperature, the grain size, density and peak intensity of (117) and c-axis orientation were increased. The $(Bi,Ce)_4Ti_3O_{12}(BCT)$ thin films that annealed at 750$^{\circ}C$ exhibited well crystallized phase and had no vacancy and grain was uniform. but there are some secondary phases observed. At this time, the average thickness of $(Bi,Ce)_4Ti_3O_{12}(BCT)$ thin films was 2000 ${\AA}$.

Ferroelectric $Bi_{4-x}$La$_{x}$Ti$_3$O$_{12}$ (BLT)thin films with various compositions(x=0.65, 0.70, 0.75) were prepared on Pt//Ti/SiO$_2$/Si(100) substrate by metal-organic deposition. The electrical and structural characteristics of BLT thin films were investigated to develop ferroelectric thin films for capacitor layers of FRAM. After spin coating, thin films were annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ for 1hour in oxygen atomosphere. Scanning electron micrographs showed uniform surfaces composed of rod-like grains. The $Bi_{4-x}$La$_{x}$Ti$_3$O$_{12}$ (x=0.70) thin film capacitors with a Pt top electrode showed better ferroelectric properties than other films. At the applied voltage of 5V, the dielectric constant($\varepsilon$$_{r}$), dissipation factor(tan$\delta$),remanent polarization(2Pr), and coercive field(2Ec) of the $Bi_{4-x}$La$_{x}$Ti$_3$O$_{12}$ (x=0.70)thin films were about 272.54, 0.059, 32.4 $\mu$C/cm$^2$, 2Ec=119.9kV/cm. Also the capacitor did not show any significant fatigue up to 4.8$\times$10$^{10}$ read/write switching cycles.hing cycles.s.

Thin films of Bi4-xSmxTi3O12(0$\leq$x$\leq$2) were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) at $700^{\circ}C$ using spin-coating with sols derived from Bi-Sm-Ti complex alkoxides. From X-ray diffraction analysis, it was observed that Sm-substituted phases resembled ferroelectric Bi4Ti3O12 in structure. Variations of their lattice parameters depending on the amount of Sm-substitution showed that an anomalous structural distortion might exist at x=1. The grain sizes of the thin films decreased from 0.115 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 0.078${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with increasing the amount of Sm-substitution. The dielectric constants and the remanent polarizations of the thin films decreased with increasing the amount of the Sm-substitution, which were related to decrease of the stereo-active Bi3+ ion contributing to polarization. However, these values were exceptionally high at x=1, compared to those of the other substituted phases. Such an anomaly suggests that the phase of x=1 has 1:1 chemical ordering between Sm and Bi in structure. The thin films of all compositions except x=2 showed ferroelectricity. The thin film of x=2 was paraelectric, whose grains were too fine to exhibit ferroelectricity.

We report the magnetic properties, microstructures, and crystal orientations of the CrO$_2$ thin films on TiO$_2$ single crystals. CrO$_2$ thin films were deposited by thermal decompositions with CrO$_3$ source materials. The microstructure of (110) oriented CrO$_2$ thin films deposited on (110) TiO$_2$ single crystals were uniform. As the oxygen flow rates increased, the resistivity, coercive field, and remnant magnetization of the CrO$_2$ thin films on TiO$_2$ single crystals decreased.

To research the characteristics of $TiO_2$ as an insulator, $TiO_2$ films were prepared with various annealing temperatures. It was researched the currents of $TiO_2$ films with Schottky barriers in accordance with the contact's properties. The potential barrier depends on the Schottky barrier and the current decreases with increasing the potential barrier of $TiO_2$ thin film. The current of $TiO_2$ film annealed at $110^{\circ}C$ was the lowest and the carrier density was decreased and the resistivity was increased with increasing the hall mobility. The Schottky contact is an important factor to become semiconductor device, the potential barrier is proportional to the hall mobility, and the hall mobility increased with increasing the potential barrier and became more insulator properties. The reason of having the high mobility in the thin films in spite of the lowest carrier concentration is that the conduction mechanism in the thin films is due to the band-to-band tunneling phenomenon of electrons.
