In the paper, we report several experimental data capable of evaluating the phase transformation characteristics of $Ag_x(Ge_2Sb_2Te_5)_{1-x}$ (x =0, 0.05, 0.1) thin films. The $Ag_x(Ge_2Sb_2Te_5)_{1-x}$ phase change thin films have been prepared by thermal evaporation. The crystallization characteristics of amorphous$Ag_x(Ge_2Sb_2Te_5)_{1-x}$ thin films were investigated by using nano-pulse scanner with 658 nm laser diode (power; 1~17 mW, pulse duration; 10~460 ns) and XRD measurement. It was found that the more Ag is doped, the more crystallization speed was 50 improved. In comparision with $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ thin film, the sheet resistance$(R_{amor})$ of the amorphous $Ag_x(Ge_2Sb_2Te_5)_{1-x}$ thin films were found to be lager than that of $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ film($R_{amor}$ $\sim10^7\Omega/\square$ and $R_{cryst}$ 10 $\Omega/\square$). That is, the ratio of $R_{amor}/R_{cryst}$ was evaluates to be $\sim10^6$ This is very helpful to writing current reduction of phase-change random acess memory.

We prepared the $Ag[100\AA])/Sb_2S_3[3000\AA]$ films using the thermal evaporator. The films were exposed by the blue-pass filtered mercury lamp and the polarized He-Ne laser. We have investigated the dependence of the induced optical energy with Ag-doping and have observed the transmittance variation near the optical absorption edge with the light source. It was shown that the energy gap of this thin film was largely changed by exposing He-Ne laser, the light source of the near energy gap of this thin film. It is because of the structural change from Ag-doping. It is investigated that the dissolution, the diffusion, and the field effect of the Ag thin film generate the Ag spatial distribution.

Ag addition in chalcopyrite materials is known to lead beneficial changes in aspects of structural and electronic properties. In this work, the effects of Ag alloying of $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$-based solar cells has been investigated. Wide bandgap $(Ag,Cu)(In_{1-x},Ga_x)Se_2$ (x = 0.75~0.8) films have been deposited using a three-stage co-evaporation with various Ag/(Ag+Cu) ratios. With Ag alloying the $(Ag,Cu)(In_{1-x},Ga_x)Se_2$ (x~0.8) films were found to have greater grainsize and film thickness. Device were also fabricated with the $(Ag,Cu)(In_{1-x},Ga_x)Se_2$ (x~0.8) films and their J-V and quantum efficiency measurements were carried out. The highest-efficiency $(Ag,Cu)(In_{1-x},Ga_x)Se_2$ solar cell with Eg > 1.5 eV had an efficiency of 12.2% with device parameters $V_{OC}=0.810V$, $J_{SC}=21.7mA/cm^2$, and FF = 69.0%.

The composition and thickness dependence and the ferromagnetic under- and overlayer effect on the magnetoresistance ratio and saturation field of the Co-Ag nano-granular films were investigated. The maximum magnetoresistance (23% at R.T.) in the as-deposited state was obtained in the $3000{\AA}$ $Co_{30} Ag_{70}$ bare alloy film. As the thickness of the alloy films decreased below $500{\AA}$, the MR ratio decreased because of the resistivity increase and the non-uniform film formation. We showed that the ferromagnetic over- and underlayer could reduce the saturation field of the nano-granular films via exchange coupling effect. The magnetoresistance and the saturation field of the $100{\AA}$ alloy film were 3.65 % and 2.85 kOe respectively and those of the under- and overlayered alloy films with $200{\AA}$ Fe were 3.3 % and 1.23 kOe respectively.

In this paper, we investigated the diffraction grating efficiency on $Ge_{75}Se_{25}$ and Ag-doped amorphous chalcogenide $Ag/Ge_{75}Se_{25}$ thin film for used to volume hologram. The film thickness was 2 um and diffraction efficiency was obtained from He-Ne (632.8nm) and DPSS(532nm) (P:P) polarized laser beam on $Ge_{75}Se_{25}$ and Ag/$Ge_{75}Se_{25}$ thin films. As a result. for the films, the diffraction efficiency on Ag/$Ge_{75}Se_{25}$ double layer, was better than single $Ge_{75}Se_{25}$ thin films. The recording speed of DPSS laser is higher than that of He-Ne laser.

SnO₂ 30/Ag 15/SnO₂ 30 nm(SAS) tri-layer films were deposited on the glass substrates with RF and DC magnetron sputtering and then electron beam is irradiated on the surface to investigate the effect of electron bombardment on the opto-electrical performance of the films. electron beam irradiated tri-layer films at 1000 eV show a higher figure of merit of 2.72×10^-3 Ω^-1 than the as deposited films due to a high visible light transmittance of 72.1% and a low sheet resistance of 14.0 Ω/☐, respectively. From the observed results, it is concluded that the post-deposition electron irradiated SnO₂ 30/Ag 15/SnO₂ 30 nm tri-layer films can be used as a substitute for conventional transparent conducting oxide films in various opto-electrical applications.

아크-마그네트론 복합 공정법에 의해 Cu, Ag 도핑된 TiN 나노 복합 화합물 박막을 합성하고 각 금속원소 종류 및 함량에 따른 기계적 특성 및 나노 구조로의 상변화 거동을 관찰하였다. 합성된 박막은 약 40 ㎬의 높은 경도치를 나타내었으며 2 at% 미만의 낮은 금속 원소 함량에서 최대 경도간을 나타내었다. 금속 원소 함량이 증가할수록 결정립 미세화 및 다결정화가 진행되어 초고경도 특성을 나타내는 나노구조 박막이 합성되었으며 도핑되는 금속원소 종류에 따라 나노 구조로의 상변화 기구가 상이함을 관찰하였다. TiN 박막내 도핑된 Cu는 Ti와 일부 결합을 이루면서 Ti의 자리를 치환하는 것으로 나타났으나, Ag는 Ti와 결합을 이루거나 Ti 격자 자리를 치환하는 것이 아니라 독립적으로 결정립계에 존재하여 charge transfer만을 발생시키는 것으로 관찰되었다.

Characteristics of Pb(Mg, Nb)O$_3$-Pb(Zr, Ti)O$_3$system thick films fabricated by a screen printing method were investigated. The buffer layer were coated with various thickness of Ag-Pd by screen printing to investigate the effect as a diffusion barrier and deposited Pt as a electrode by sputtering on Ag-Pb layer. The printed thick films were burned out at 650$\^{C}$ and sintered at 950$\^{C}$ in O$_2$condition for each 20, 60min after printing with 350mesh screen. The thickness of piezoelectric thick film was 15∼20㎛ and Ag-Pb layer acted as a diffusion barrier above 3㎛ thickness. The PMN-PZT thick films were screen printed on Pt/Ag-Pb(6m) and sintered by 2nd step (650$\^{C}$/20min and 950$\^{C}$/1h) using paste mixed PMN-PZT and binder in the ratio of 70:30, and the remnant polarization of thick film was 9.1$\mu$C/㎠ in this conditions.
