In this research, the single machine capacitated lot-sizing and scheduling problem with sequence- dependent setup costs and setup times (CLSPSD) is considered. This problem is the extension of capacitated lot-sizing and scheduling problem (CLSP) with an additional assumption on sequence-dependent setup costs and setup times. The objective of the problem is minimizing the sum of production costs, inventory holding costs and setup costs satisfying customers' demands. It is known that the CLSPSD is NP-hard. In this paper, the MIP formulation is presented. To handle the problem more efficiently, a conceptual model is suggested, and one of the well-known meta-heuristics, the simulated annealing approach is applied. To illustrate the performance of this approach, various instances are tested and the results of this algorithm are compared with those of the CLPEX. Computational results show that this approach generates optimal or nearly optimal solutions.

We fabricate thermally stable and low resistance Ru ohmic contacts to $n-ZnO:Al(3\times10^{18}\textrm{cm}^{-3})$, grown by specially designed dual target sputtering system. It is shown that the as-deposited Ru contact produces a specific contact resistance of $2.1{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}\textrm{cm}^2$. Annealing of the Ru contacts leads to the improvement of current-voltage characteristics. For example, annealing of the contact at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1 min produces a contact resistance of $3.2{\times}10^{-5}}{\Omega}\textrm{cm}^2$. furthermore, the metallisation scheme is found to be thermally stable: the surface of the contact is fairly smooth with a rms roughness of 1.4 nm upon annealing at $700^{\circ}C$. These results strongly indicate that the Ru contact represents a suitable metallisation scheme for fabrication of high-performance ZnO-based optical devices and high-temperature devices. In addition, possible mechanisms are suggested to describe the annealing temperature dependence of the specific contact resistance.

Ferroelectric Sr0.8Bi2.4Ta2O9 stock solutions were prepared by MOD(Metaloganic Decompostion) process. The phase transformation for the layered perovskite of the SBT thin films by changing RTA(Rapid her-mal Annealing) temperatuer from 700$^{\circ}C$to 780$^{\circ}C$ were observed using XRD and SEM. Layered perovskite phase began to appear above 740$^{\circ}C$ and then SBT thin films were annealed at 800$^{\circ}C$ for 1hr for its com-plete crystallization. The specimens showed well shaped hysteresis curves without post annealing that car-ried out after deposition of Pt top electrode. The SBT thin films showed the asymmetric ferroelectric pro-perties. It was confirmed that the properties were caused by interface effect to SBT and electrode by leak-age current density measurement and asymmetric properties reduced by post annealing. At post annealing temperature of 800$^{\circ}C$ remanant polarization values (2Pr) were 6.7 9 ${\mu}$C/cm2 and those of leakage current densities were 3.73${\times}$10-7 1.32${\times}$10-6 A/cm2 at 3, 5V respectively. Also bismuth bonding types of SBT thin film surface were observed by XPS.

ZnO nanorods were grown on R-plane sapphire substrates with the seed layers annealed at different temperature. The effects of annealing temperature for the seed layers on the properties of the ZnO nanorods were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV-visible spectroscopy, and photoluminescence. For the as-prepared seed layers, the ZnO nanorods and the ZnO nanosheets were observed. Only the ZnO nanorods were grown as the annealing temperature was above $700^{\circ}C$. The optical transmittance in the UV region was almost zero while that in the visible region was gradually increased as the annealing temperature increased to $700^{\circ}C$. The optical band gap of the ZnO nanorods was increased as the annealing temperature increased to $700^{\circ}C$. In the visible region, the refractive index was decreased with increasing the wavelength, and the extinction coefficient was decreased as the annealing temperature increased to $700^{\circ}C$. The non-linear exciton radiative life time of the FX emission peak was established by cubic equation. The values of Varshni's empirical equation fitting parameters were ${\alpha}=4{\times}10^{-3}eV/K$, ${\beta}=1{\times}10^4K$, and $E_g(0)=3.335eV$ and the activation energy was found to be about 94.6 meV.

Ga doped ZnO thin films were deposited with RF magnetron sputtering on glass substrate without intentional substrate heating and then the effect of post deposition annealing temperature on the structural, optical and electrical properties of the films was investigated. The post deposition annealing process was conducted for 30 minutes in a vacuum of $1{\times}10^{-3}$ Torr and the vacuum annealing temperatures were 150 and $300^{\circ}C$, respectively. As increase annealing temperature, GZO films show the increment of the prefer orientation of ZnO (002) diffraction peak in the XRD pattern and the optical transmittance in a visible wave region was also increased, while the electrical sheet resistance was decreased. The figure of merit obtained in this study means that GZO films which vacuum annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ have the highest optoelectrical performance in this study.

Thin film inductors of $10 mm \times 10 mm$ with inner coil type of 14 turns were fabricated by sputtering, photo-masking, and etching processes. Their characteristics of impedances and annealing after were investigated. The properties of impedances of the thin film magnetic core inductors with inner coil type were improved by magnetic field annealing due to the removal of residual stress and the improvement magnetic properties of magnetic films. But the characteristics of frequency of the thin film magnetic core inductors were not improved by magnetic field annealing due to properties of the spiral pattern and inner coil type. The thin film magnetic core inductor annealed by uniaxal field annealing method showed an inductance of 1000 nH and resistance of$ 6 \Omega$ of 1 at 2 MHz.

An intrinsic silicon thin film passivation layer is deposited by the microwave remote-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition at temperature of $175^{\circ}C$ and various gas ratios for solar cell applications. The good quality amorphous silicon films were formed at silane $(SiH_4)$ gas flow rates above 15 seem. The highest effective carrier lifetime was obtained at the $SiH_4$, flow rate of 20 seem and the value was about 3 times higher compared with the bulk lifetime of 5.6 ${\mu}s$ at a fixed injection level of ${\Delta}n\;=\;5{\times}10^{14}\;cm^{-3}$. An annealing treatment was performed and the carrier life times were increased approximately 5 times compared with the bulk lifetime. The optimal annealing temperature and time were obtained at 250 $^{\circ}C$ and 60 sec respectively. This indicates that the combination of the deposition of an amorphous thin film at a low temperature and the annealing treatment contributes to the excellent surface and bulk passivation.

Sol-Gel derived ferroelectric Pb(Z $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$) $O_{3}$ thin films have been fabricated on Pt/Ti/ $SiO_{2}$/Si substrate. Two kinds of fast annealing methods, F-I (six times of intermediate and final annealing) and F-II(one final annealing after six times of intermediate annealing) were used for preparation of multi-coated PZT thin films. As the annealing temperature was increased, high capacitance could be obtained, for instance, 2700.angs.-thick PZT thin film annealed at 680.deg. C had a capacitance value of approximately 20nF at 1kHz. In addition, it is found that the dielectric constant is a function of the perovskite phase fraction. In case of F-I method, PZT thin film had a remanent polarization(Pr) of 8-15.mu.C/c $m^{2}$ and a coercive field( $E_{c}$) of 35-44kV/cm according to annealing temperature, whereas PZT film fabricated by F-II method had as high as 24-25.mu.C/c $m^{2}$ and 48-59kV/cm, respectively. As a result of measuring Curie temperature, PZT thin film had a range of 460-480.deg. C by F-I method and more or less higher range of 525-530.deg. C by F-II method, which implied that different microstructures could cause the different Curie temperature. Through I-V measurement, leakage current of PZT thin film fabricated by F-I and F-II methods was 64nA/c $m^{2}$ and 2.2.mu.A/c $m^{2}$ in the electric field of 100kV/cm, respectively.y.y.y.
