We had experiment using LB method that can fabricate molecular order ultra-thin film below 100${\AA}$. LB mettled has known as main technology of information society in 21C, because it is nut only free oriention and alignment of molecular but also ability of thickness control as molecular order. In this paper, the fabricated condition and physical properities of functional ultra-thin film of molecular order was investigated and highly efficient ultra-thin film capacitor was fabricated by using ultra-thin LB film for application as electronic device. Possibility of ultra-thin film capacitor was researched by analizing rind measuring electrical properties. Polyimide ultra-thin LB film capacitor was fabricated, ensured theoretically rind experimentally its possibility in range of 10Hz∼ 1MHz through its frequency characteristics.

Recently, a study on LB ultra thin film of molecular size is widely performed. To make use of LB ultra thin film in engineering applications, it is important to investigate how uniformly Langmuir film is deposited on a substrate. In this paper, to confirm the uniformity of film deposition, the relation between the monolayer numbers deposited and its ratio is investigated by deposition of the Y type and Hetero type LB film. If films are deposited ideally, the deposition ratio will become 1.0. From the experimental results, it can be suggested that the deposition of LB film is done well, as we obtained an approximate value 1.0 by the calculation of deposition ratio of L film area and LB film deposition area.

The LB technique is one of the most, powerful fabricating methods of organic ultra thin film, which deposits a monolayer film in molecular level onto the surface of the substrate. In order to fabricate the LB film with optimal condition, we have to deposite monolayer film at optimum depositing pressure. which is dependent on the kind of deposit materials. ${\pi}-A$ curve is one of the most important, criteria to determine the optimum pressure. In this paper, we obtained that the optimum pressure is $20{\sim}50(mN/m)$ from ${\pi}-A$ curve of the stearic acid. In our experiments, it was known that LB ultra thin film is deposited beat at 30(mN/m) by checking the characteristics of LB film.

A copper tetracumylphenoxy phthalocyanine (CuPccp) thin film was formed on an organic insulator film by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition for gas sensor fabrication. To increase the reproducibility of film transfer, stearyl alcohol was used as a transfer promoter. The structural properties of the CuPccp layers were optically monitored through attenuated total reflection and polarization-modulated ellipsometry techniques. The average thickness of a single layer of the CuPccp LB film was measured to be 2.5 nm. Despite the role of the transfer promoter, the stability of the layer transfer was not sufficient to ensure homogeneity of the LB film. This was probably due to the presence of aggregates in the molecular structure of the CuPccp LB film. Nevertheless, copper phthalocyanine polymorphism can be greatly suppressed by the LB arrangement, which appears to contribute to the improvement of electrical conductivity. The p-type semiconductor characteristics were confirmed by Hall measurements from the CuPccp LB films.

Poly(1,4-phenylene(1-methoxyenthylene)), organic water soluble PPV precursor was synthesized for polymer electroluminescence(EL) device. To control the molecular array, deposition method of emitter was Langmuir-Blodgett(LB). PPV precursor layer was treated thermally to conversion of PPV. Optical, electrical and EL properties of PPV LB thin film was estimated. Homogeneous light emission of greenish-yellow in PPV LB thin film can be easily confirmed under normal lighting even at low driving voltage. Polymer EL device using PPV LB thin film as emitter materials had a possibility to apply to next generation display device.

Background: The main purpose of drug delivery systems is to deliver the drugs at the appropriate concentration to the precise target site. Recently, the application of a thin film in the field of drug delivery has gained increasing interest because of its ability to safely load drugs and to release the drug in a controlled manner, which improves drug efficacy. Drug loading by the thin film can be done in various ways, depending on type of the drug, the area of exposure, and the purpose of drug delivery. Main text: This review summarizes the various methods used for preparing thin films with drugs via Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly. Furthermore, additional functionalities of thin films using surface modification in drug delivery are briefly discussed. There are three types of methods for preparing a drug-carrying multilayered film using LbL assembly. First methods include approaches for direct loading of the drug into the pre-fabricated multilayer film. Second methods are preparing thin films using drugs as building blocks. Thirdly, the drugs are incorporated in the cargo so that the cargo itself can be used as the materials of the film. Conclusion: The appropriate designs of the drug-loaded film were produced in consideration of the release amounts and site of the desired drug. Furthermore, additional surface modification using the LbL technique enabled the preparation of effective drug delivery carriers with improved targeting effect. Therefore, the multilayer thin films fabricated by the LbL technique are a promising candidate for an ideal drug delivery system and the development possibilities of this technology are infinite.

Polyimides containing cyclobutane ring in main chain is known to be thermally stable and able to be developed in organic solvents after photolysis with 254 nm UV light. This type of polyimides can be used as promising positive photoresist in VLSI fabrication process. In the current VLSI process, photoresist films are formed by spin coating. The film thickness is more than several hundred nano meters. It seems that there is room for improvement of film coating process by introducing Langmuir Blodgett technique. Thereby ultra thin film photoresist can be formed, and higher density of integration in VLSI be achieved. In the present work, depositing procedure of LB films of this polyimide was investigated. LB film thickness was measured by ellipsometry to evaluate deposited film status. Chemical imidization procedure was studied to avoid several problems in thermal imidization. The pattern of submicron dimension has successfully formed on LB film of 8nm thick, which found showing good contrast.

Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method have been used by many rescarcher because of its facility to control the thickness of film as molecular order and orientation of molecular. We fabricated MIM device using copolymer LB films of $2C_{18}MA-VE_2$ and elecctrical conduction mechanism in ultra-thin LB film were investigated. In our experimental results, the maleate copolymer LB film have the properity of insulator like organic ultra-thin fiim. Its diclcctric constant was about 3.5 and its voltage generation about 0.1 Volt. And Schottky current was apeared as electrical conduction current and Schottky barrier was about 0.9(eV).
