In this study, liquid crystal (LC) aligning properties for homeotropic alignment on the $SiO_x$ thin film by electron beam evaporation method with electron beam system in accordance with the evaporation angles were investigated. Also, the control of pretilt angles homeotropic aligned LC on $SiO_x$ thin film as the function of the evaporation angles were studied. The uniform vertical LC alignment on the $SiO_x$ thin film surfaces with electron beam evaporation was achieved with all of the thin film angle conditions. It is considerated that the LC alignment on the $SiO_x$ thin film by electron beam evaporation is attributed to elastic interaction between LC molecules and micro-grooves at the $SiO_x$ thin film surface created by evaporation. The values of the pretilt angles according to the evaporation angle were from about $0.7^{\circ}$ to about $3.4^{\circ}$. The highest pretilt angles of about $3.4^{\circ}$ in aligned NLC on the $SiO_x$ thin film surfaces by electron beam evaporation were measured under the condition of $45^{\circ}$. Also, good LC alignment states on the treated $SiO_x$ thin film layer by electron beam evaporation were observed at annealing temperature of $250^{\circ}C$. Consequently, the high pretilt angle and the good thermal stability of LC alignment on the $SiO_x$ thin film by electron beam evaporation can be achieved.

We studied the control of pretilt angles for homeotropic aligned nematic liquid crystal (NLC) on SiOx thin film surface by $45^{\circ}$ evaporation method with electron beam system. The uniform vertical LC alignment on. the SiOx thin film surfaces with electron beam evaporation was achieved. It is considered that the LC alignment on SiOx thin film by $45^{\circ}$ electron beam evaporation is attributed to elastic interaction between LC molecules and micro-grooves at the SiOx thin film surface created by evaporation. The pretilt angles of about $3.5^{\circ}$ in aligned NLC on SiOx thin film surfaces by electron beam evaporation of $45^{\circ}$ were measured. Consequently, the high pretilt angles of the NLC on the SiOx thin film by $45^{\circ}$ oblique electron beam evaporation method can be achieved.

Electron beam evaporation source is widely used to prepare thin films by physical vapor deposition because it is very effective to vaporize materials and there is virtually no limit to vaporize materials including metals and compounds such as oxide. In this study, evaporation characteristics of various metals and compounds from an electron beam evaporation source have been studied. The 180 degree deflection type electron beam evaporation source which has 6-hearth crucibles and is capable of inputting power up to 10 kW was employed for evaporation experiment. 36 materials including metals, oxides and fluorides have been tested and described in terms of optimum crucible liner, evaporation state, stability, and so on. Various crucible liners have been tried to find out the most effective way to vaporize materials. Two types of crucible liners have been employed in this experiment. One is contact type liner, and the other is non-contact type one. It has been tried to give the objective information and the most effective evaporation method on the evaporation of materials from the electron beam evaporation source. It is concluded that the electron beam evaporation source can be used to prepare good quality films by choosing the appropriate crucible liner.

We have studied liquid crystal (LC) aligning capabilities for homeotropic alignment and the control of tilt angles on the $SiO_{x}$ thin film by electron beam evaporation method. A high tilt angle of about $86.5^{\circ}$ was obtained, and also the suitable tilt angle of the NLC on the $SiO_{x}$ thin film at $20{\sim}50\;nm$ thickness with e-beam evaporation can be achieved. The uniform LC alignment on the $SiO_{x}$ thin film surfaces with electron beam evaporation can be achieved. It is considerated that the LC alignment on the $SiO_{x}$ thin film by electron beam evaporation is attributed to elastic interaction between LC molecules and micro-grooves at the $SiO_{x}$ thin film surface created by evaporation.

ITO(Indium Tin Oxide) 전극 형성방법은 ITO 박막 자체의 전기 광학적 특성 뿐 아니라 ITO를 전극으로 하는 청색 발광 다이오드(파장 469nm)의 전기 광학적 특성 및 신뢰성에도 큰 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 세 가지 ITO 전극 형성 방법 즉 electron beam evaporation법과 sputtering법, 그리고 electron beam evaporation법으로 먼저 증착한 뒤에 sputtering법으로 증착한 hybrid법 등을 사용하여 청색 발광 다이오드를 제작한 다음에 ITO 박막의 특성과 aging에 따른 발광 다이오드의 전기 광학적 특성 변화를 고찰하였다. 그 결과, ITO 전극을 sputtering 또는 electron beam evaporation 방법으로 형성한 발광 다이오드는 각각 sputtering damage의 문제와 전기저항이 증가하는 문제점을 안고 있음을 발견하였다. 그리고 이 문제점들을 hybrid 방법으로 해결하였다.

The effects of the evaporation rate of MgO films using an electron beam on the MgO properties and the discharge characteristics of a plasma display panel (PDP) were investigated and analyzed. MgO films were deposited with the various MgO evaporation rates. The MgO properties such as the crystal orientation, the surface roughness, and the film structure were inspected using XRD (X-ray diffraction), AFM (atomic force microscopy). From the experiments and Paschen law, the maximum value of the secondary electron emission coefficient $({\gamma})$ was obtained at the evaporation rate of $5{\AA}/sec$. The XRD results and cathode-luminescence (CL) spectra show the ${\gamma}$ values are correlated with F/F+ centers of the molecular structure of MgO films. The minimum firing voltage and the maximum luminous efficiency were obtained at an evaporation rate of $5{\AA}/sec$. In the MgO film deposited at $5{\AA}/sec$, the (200) orientation and F+ center were most intensive.

Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$ (CIGS) thin films were formed using CIGS bulk by electron-beam evaporation method with an evaporation current from 20 mA to 90 mA. The experimental results showed that the chemical compositions and the properties of CIGS films varied with the different evaporation current. The Cu-rich CIGS film was deposited successfully with a band gap of 1.20 eV when the evaporation current was 90 mA.
