Resistive RAM (ReRAM) is a strong candidate for the next-generation nonvolatile memories which use the resistive switching characteristic of transition metal oxides. The resistive switching behaviors originate from the redistribution of oxygen vacancies inside of the oxide film by applied programming voltage. Therefore, controlling the oxygen vacancy inside transition metal oxide film is most important to obtain and control the resistive switching characteristic. In this study, we introduced an applying electric field into photochemical metal-organic deposition (PMOD) process to control the oxidation state of metal oxide thin film during the photochemical reaction by UV exposure. As a result, the surface oxidation state of FeOx film could be successfully controlled by the electric field-assisted PMOD (EFAPMOD), and the controlled oxidation states were confirmed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) I-V characteristic. And the resistive switching characteristics with the oxidation-state of the surface region could be controlled effectively by adjusting an electric field during EFAPMOD process.

In this study, we have investigated the photoinduced anisotropy (PA) phenomena by the assisted. electric field effect on $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ thin films. Investigation of photoinduced anisotropy on the assisted electric field effect was carried out using a He-Ne laser beams (inducing and probing beams) illuminating the same area of the thin film. To investigate the effect of electric field, various bias voltages applied. The result is shown the photoinduced anisotropy dependence on electric field. Also. we obtained the property of photoinduced anisotropy in the electric field effects by various voltages.

Recently, it is reported that the behaviour of PECVD under high electric field and current condition has a major effect on MNS device degradation. In this paper, we evaluated the breakdown and TDDB characteristics of Laser assisted PECVD SiN films which is introduced new deposited method. And also, long term insulator breakdown reliability is described by examing time dependent dielectric breakdown under positive voltage. Failure tines against electric field are examined and acceleration factors are obtained for each case. From these data, breakdown wearout limitation for Laser Assisted PECVD SiN film can be characterized.

In order to improve the surface uniformity and the conduction properties of the fabricated YBCO thick films, a system that applies alternating field vertically to the EPD field has been developed for the first time and applied to the electrophoretic deposition process. The applied alternating electric field, so called Shaky Alternating Assisted Field, caused a force to be exerted on each YBCO particle and resulted in a shaking of the particle in the direction of applied electric field, accomplishing a uniform particle orientation. The usual commercial electrical power was used for the vertically applied alternating voltage and the induced electric field was 25-120 V/cm at 60Hz. The thick film fabricated by the method developed in this paper showed better surface uniformity without crack and porosity and improved film characteristics such as critical temperature (Tc,zero = 90 K) and critical current density (2354 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$), Therefore, it is expected that the shaky-aligned electrophoretic deposition method can be used to fabricate superconductor films through a simpler process and at less expense.

The influence of electric current on the joining properties of aluminum and copper was investigated. Various pulsed electric current conditions were set to the joining specimens followed by pressure. The shear strength of the joint area between aluminum and copper was measured by the lab shear test. In addition, the microstructures of the joint area were observed through a field emission scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray, and electron backscatter diffraction. The mechanical properties of each phase in the joint region were measured by nano-indentation. As a result, it was confirmed that electrically assisted solid state joining of copper and aluminum could be applied in various industrial fields.

For fabricating high T$\sub$c/ superconducting deposition film, novel electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique applied to deposit surface charged particles on metal substrate with only d.c field has been studied. However, the electric properties of superconducting film could not be improved easily by this way, because the particles of EPD film were usually deposited randomly on metal substrate without any directional orientation affected to its critical current density. For the purpose of obtaining partcle orientation on the EPD films, the new method modified by a.c. assisted field to the conventional electrophoresis system was investigated to improve the particle deposition density and to increase the contacting area among the particles with highly oriented particle deposition of BSCCO superconducting film.

Multimode planar waveguides have been fabricated by an electric-field assisted ion exchange in soda-lime glass substrates. Measurements of the mode indices have been made and the index profiles modeled on modified Fermi function are explained by a comparative analysis with the concentration profiles obtained using an electron probe X-ray micro analyzer. The analytical measurements showed that no more than 95% of sodium ions were replaced by the cesium ions. We established formulas for guide depth, mobility, and refractive index change, given the applied electric field, the diffusion temperature, and the time. We have verified the linear relations in the formulas not only between guide and root of diffusion time but also between guide depth and the applied electric filed experimentally.

The electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique have been applied to fabricating superconducting films and wires in former researches of our Lab. However, the particles of EPD films were usually deposited random1y on the metal substrate, the vertically combined a.c and d.c fields were applied to the EPD electrodes for orienting and densifying the particles of high $T_{c}$ superconducting deposition film on the substrate metal. Therefore, the surface states of EPD films by this combined fields could be oriented and affect to the electric properties increasing of superconducting films. The proposed method modified by a.c. assisted field to the conventional electrophoresis system was suitable to obtain improved properties with particle oriented deposition and densification.

In this paper, we show some experimental results of binder-free WC sintered by Pulsed Electric Current Sintering (PECS) also known as Field Assisted Sintering Technology (FAST). These binder-free WC have extremely hardness and stiffness. However, these mechanical properties are dependent on the sintering condition, e.g., maximum temperature, applied pressure, etc. We show some relationship between mechanical properties and sintering condition to improve to sinter the binder-free WC.

We has investigated the birefringence by the assisted electric field effect on $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ thin films. Photoinduced birefringence has been studied in a chalcogenide material. We induced this thin films using linearly polarized He-Ne laser light(633nm) and detected polarized semiconductor laser light(780nm). To investigate the effect of electric field, various bias voltages applied. The result is shown that the birefringence has a higher value in +2V than others. We obtained the birefringence in the electric field effects by various voltages.
