This paper describes the effect of elongation on electrical properties and molecular structrue of high density polyethylene. Thin polyethylene films films obtained dy roll elongation after extruded at 220$^{\circ}C$ and elongated to draw rations of 16. Crystallinity of polyethylene films was measured by X-Ray diffraction and electrical properties were estimated by conductivity and TSC(Thermal Simulated Current). It was foung that the crystallinity increases and the electrical conductivity decreases as the elongation increases. The elongation dependence of electrical conductivity may be explained by the trap density. Thus, the control of polymer structure and crystallinity makes its properties better and can be applicated in order to get more active properties.

Effects of nitrogen and oxygen annealing on the carrier concentration, carrier mobility, electrical resistivity and PL characteristics as well as the crystallinity of ZnO films deposited on sapphire substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD). X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) analyses, and Hall measurement were performed to investigate the crystallinity, optical properties and electrical properties of the ZnO thin films, respectively. According to the XRD analysis results the crystallinity of the ZnO film annealed in an oxygen atmosphere is better than that of the ZnO film annealed in a nitrogen atmosphere. Annealing undoped ZnO films grown by ALD at a high temperature above $600^{\circ}C$ improves the crystallinity and enhances W emission but deteriorates the electrical conductivity of the flms. The resistivity of the ZnO film annealed particularly at $800^[\circ}C$ in a nitrogen atmosphere is much higher than that annealed at the same temperature in an oxygen atmosphere.

The effects of annealing on structural and electrical properties of ITO/PES (Indium Tin Oxide/Polyethersulfone) films was investigated. Amorphous ITO thin films were grown on plastic substrates, PES using low temperature DC magnetron sputtering. Various post annealing techniques were attempted to research variations of microstructure and electrical properties: i) conventional thermal annealing, ii) excimer laser annealing, iii) UV irradiation. The electrical properties were obtained using Hall effect measurements and DC 4-point resistance measurement. The microstructural features were characterized by FESEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy in terms of morphology and crystallinity. Optimized UV treatment exhibits the enhanced conductivity and crystallinity, compared to those of conventional thermal annealing.

Antimony-doped Tin oxide (ATO) thin films were deposited on soda-lime glass substrates by DC magnetron sputtering technique. Effects of DC power film thickness and post heat-treatment on electrical conductivity of ATO film were investigated. Other properties of ATO film such as optical anti-chemical and wear properties were also reported in this work. The obtained ATO films showed electrical resistivities ranging from 5$\times$10-3 $\Omega$cm to 3$\times$10-3 $\Omega$cm with the average optical transparency above 80% in visible wavelength range and excel-lent anti-chemical properties where the electrical resistivity was not changed even after soaking the films in 1M HCl or 1M NaOH solution for 10 days. These properties were found to be related to the crystallinity of ATO film and the films having higher crystallinity showed better properties.

Polyaniline free standing films cast from N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone(NMP) solution, camphorsulfonic acid(HCSA), dodecylbenzensulfonic acid(HDBSA), inorganic matter(carbon black, graphite) and metal(silver) were prepared by processings. The properties of these films such as crystallinity, near-infrared absorption spectra and conductivity were investigated. The HCSA and HDBSA doped polyaniline films cast from m-cresol and chloroform solvents showed the metallic property and high crystallinity, respectively. The value of conductivity in the HCSA doped polyaniline film obtained 180 S/cm. We have obtained the value of conductivity 200 S/cm in the metal(silver) doped polyaniline film, which is higher than that of the HCSA doped polyaniline film. The metal(silver) doped polyaniline film shows good properties as a electromagnetic shielding material.

Effect of thickness on ZnO properties including the compositional ratio and crystallinity has been systematically investigated using a variety of characterization tools of x-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, x-ray fluorescence and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Interestingly, it was observed that ZnO films below 80 nm in thickness were in oxygen deficiency, while the oxygen ratio was increased in the films above the thickness, although the compositional ratio of ZnO film was not linearly varied with increasing film thickness. Also, ZnO crystallinity, which is characterized by (002) diffraction pattern, was clearly improved with increasing film thickness. The properties of ZnO film with different sputtering time and the nature of direct current reactive sputtering process were discussed in terms of compositional ratio, especially oxygen ratio in ZnO film.

Semiconducting layers are thin rubber film between electrical cable wire and insulating polymer layers having a volume resistivity of ${\sim}10^2{\Omega}cm$. A new semiconducting material was suggested in this study based on the carbon nanotube(CNT)-reinforced polymer nanocomposites. CNT-reinforced polymer nanocomposites were prepared by solution mixing with various polymer type and dual filler system. The mechanical, thermal and electrical properties were investigated as a function of polymer type and dual filler system based on CNT and carbon black. The volume resistivity of composites was strongly related with the crystallinity of polymer matrix. With decreased crystallinity, the volume resistivity decreased linearly until a critical point, and it remained constant with further decreasing the crystallinity. Dual filler system also affected the volume resistivity. The CNT-reinforced nanocomposite showed the lowest volume resistivity. When a small amount of carbon black(CB) was replaced the CNT, the crystallinity increased considerably leading to a higher volume resistivity.

Fluorine-doped $SnO_2$ thin films were deposited on soda-lime glass substrates by reactive DC magnetron sputtering method. Crystallinity as well as electrical and optical properties of $SnO_2$ : F thin film were investigated as the variations of deposition conditions such as substrate temperature, DC Power, $O_2$ gas pressure, $SF_6$ gas pressure. $SnO_2$ : F thin film deposited with 5% $SF_6$ gas pressure showed electrical resistivities of $2.5\times10^{-3}$cm with the average optical transparency (about 80%) These electrical and optical properties were found to be related to the crystallinity of $SnO_2$ : F thin films.

Gallium doped zinc oxide(GZO) films were deposited on soda-lime glass substrates without substrate heating $(T_s<50^{\circ}C$) by dc planar magnetron sputtering using GZO ceramic oxide targe with different inert gas (Ar, or Ne). For the GZO films deposited under different total gas pressure $(P_{tot})$, structural and electrical properties were investigated by XRD and Hall effect measurements. Crystallinity of GZO films deposited using Ar was degraded with increase in $(P_{tot})$, suggesting that it was heavily affected by kinetic energy of sputtered Zn particles$(PA_{zn})$ arriving at substrate surface. Whereas, crystallinity of GZO films deposited at lower Ptot than 3.0 Pa using Ne gas was degraded with decrease in $(P_{tot})$. This degradation was considered to be result of film damage caused by the bombardment of high-energy neutrals ($Ne^{\circ}$). On the basis of a hard sphere collision processes, the average final energy of particles (sputtered Zn, $Ar^{\circ}$and $Ne^{\circ}$)arriving at substrate surface were estimated.

The structural, electrical and optical properties of Ti thin films fabricated by dual magnetron sputtering were investigated under various film thicknesses. The fabricated Ti thin films exhibited uniform surfaces, crystallinity, various grain sizes, and with various film thicknesses. Also, the crystallinity and grain size of the Ti thin films increased with the increase of film thickness. The electrical properties of Ti thin films improved with the increase of film thickness. The results showed that the performance of TCO-less DSSC critically depended on the film thickness of the Ti working electrodes, due to the conductivity of Ti thin film. However, the maximum conversion efficiency of TCO-less DSSC was exhibited at the condition of 100 nm thickness due to the surface scattering of photons caused by the variation of grain size.
