We provide a newly developed dry etching process for the fabrication of ZnO-based oxide TFTs. The etching characteristics of ZnO (active layer) and $Al_2O_3$ (gate insulator) thin films were systematically investigated when the etching gas mixtures and their mixing ratios were varied in the heliconplasma etching system.

NH$_{3}$ gas sensitive ZnO:Al, In thin films were prepared by the heat treatment following continuous deposition of very thin In layer and ZnO:Al layer to obtain the modified surface morphology for good sensitivity. Dependence of the structural electrical and optical properties of them on heat treatment temperature was investigated by x-ray diffraction, SEM, 4-point probe method and spectrophotometer.

In this paper, we prepared Al doped ZnO thin films by using facing targets sputtering method. Al doped ZnO thin film was deposited with different working pressure on flexible substrate. We prepared Al doped ZnO thin film at room temperature, because the flexible substrate has weak thermal resistance. From the results, we could obtain thin film with a resistivity of $8.4{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$, an average transmittance of over 80% and a film thickness of 200nm.

We have employed electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and magnetization measurements in order to study the effect of Al-incorporation on the magnetic interactions in ZnO:Mn diluted magnetic semiconductors. Al-doping is shown to decrease the antiferromagnetic correlation and to increase the ferromagnetic interaction, which is attributed to the hydrogen-mediated ferromagnetic Mn complexes in our Mn-doped ZnO samples.

Effect of the microwave dielectric properties and the microstructure on a mole fraction(x=0.1~0.9) of (1-x)Mg$_2$SiO$_4$-xZnAl$_2$O$_4$ ceramics was investigated. When (1-x)Mg$_2$SiO$_4$-xZnAl$_2$O$_4$(x=0.1~0.9) ceramics were sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$, 135$0^{\circ}C$ and 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hr, the microwave dielectric properties were obtained $\varepsilon$r=6.8~8.3, Q.f$_{0}$=36000~77600. On the other hand, the temperature coefficients of resonant frequency($\tau$$_{f}$) were obtained in the properties of -62ppm/$^{\circ}C$ to -49ppm/$^{\circ}C$. In order to adjust the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency($\tau$$_{f}$), CaTiO$_3$was added in (1-x)Mg$_2$SiO$_4$-xZnAl$_2$O$_4$ceramics. 0.7Mg$_2$SiO$_4$-0.2ZnAl$_2$O$_4$-0.1CaTiO$_3$ceramics sintered at 135$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hr showed the excellent microwave dielectric properties of $\varepsilon$r=7.7, Q.f$_{0}$=32000, and $\tau$$_{f}$=-7.9 ppm/$^{\circ}C$.EX>.>.EX>.

This detailed study of electrical, crystallographic and optical properties in Al doped ZnO thin films prepared by Facing Targets Sputtering(FTS), where strong internal magnets were contained in target holders to confine the plasma between the targets is described. Optimal transmittance and resistivity was obtained by controlling flow ratio of O$_2$gas. When the O$_2$ gas ratio of 0.25 and substrate temperature R.T., ZnO:Al thin film deposited had strongly oriented c-axis and the lower resistivity ( <10$\^$-4/ $\Omega$cm). The optical transmittance was above 80% in visible range.

ZnO : Al transparent conductive thin films were prepared by facing targets sputtering system with a DC power supply which can deposit a high quality thin films and control deposition condition in all range of $O_2$ gas ratio using ZnO target containing 8 at% of Al. Sputtering was carried out at a substrate temperature of R T with a DC current of 0.6 A and $O_2$ flow rate of 0 $\sim$ 0.9. The characteristics of ZnO : Al thin films was investigated by $\alpha$-step, four point probe, X-ray diffraction and UV/VIS spectrometer.

Al doped zinc oxide films (ZnO:Al) were deposited on glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering from a ZnO target mixed with 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$. The as-deposited ZnO:Al films were rapid-thermal annealed. Electrical properties and structural evolution of the films, as annealed by rapid thermal process (RTP), were studied and compared with the films annealed by conventional annealing process. RTP, the (002) peak intensity increases and the electrical resistivity decreases by 20%, after RT annealing. The effects of RT annealing on the structural evolution and electrical properties of RF sputtered films were further discussed and compared also with the films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering.

After reviewing previous work done on two piezoelectric thin films(PZT, ZnO), ZnO thin piezofim of 1-3UM is fabricated by sputtering on the different substrates(i. e., P+Si/N-Si, SiO2/P+Si/ N-Si, Al/SiO2/ P+Si/ N+Si). The result shows that ZnO piezofilm on the Al has the best c-axis orientation. One of applications for the ZnO piezofilm as an microvalve to control liquid flow is introduced, and which can be controlled electrically and remotely.

High-quality Al-N doped p-type ZnO thin films were deposited on Si and buffer layer/Si by DC magnetron sputtering in a mixture of $N_2$ and $O_2$ gas. The target was ceramic ZnO mixed with $Al_2O_3$ (2 wt%). The p-type ZnO thin films showed a carrier concentration in the range of $1.5{\times}10^{15}{\sim}2.93{\times}10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$, resistivity in the range of 131.2${\sim}$2.864 ${\Omega}cm$, mobility in the range of 3.99${\sim}$31.6 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-l}$, respectively. It was easier to dope p-type ZnO films on Si substrates than on buffer layer/Si. The film grown on Si showed the highest quality of photoluminescence (PL) characteristics. The Al donor energy level depth $(E_d)$ of Al-N codoped ZnO films was reduced to about 50 meV, and the N acceptor energy level depth $(E_a)$ was reduced to 63 meV.
