The preparation of $Al_{2}O_{3}-SiO_{2}$ thin films from less than one micron to several tens of microns in thickness had been prepared from metal alkoxide sols. Two methods, dip-withdrawal and electrophoretic deposition, were employed for thin films and sheets formation. The requirements to be satisfied by the solution for preparing uniform and strong films and by the factors affecting thickness and other properties of the films were examined. For the preparation of thin, continuous $Al_{2}O_{3}-SiO_{2}$ films, therefore, metal-organic-derived precursor solutions contained Si and Al in a chemically polymerized form has been developed and produced in a clear liquid state. In the process of applying to substrates, this liquid left a transparent, continuous film that could be converted to crystalline $Al_{2}O_{3}-SiO_{2}$ upon heating to $1000^{\circ}C$. And, a significant change of the film density took place in the crystallization process, thus leading to the strict requirements as to the film thickness, which could survive crystallization.

LED lamp was designed by the serial-parallel integration of LED chips in metal-interconnection. The 7 $4.5{\times}4.5\;in^{2}$ masks were designed with the contact type of chrome-no mirror?dark. The white epitaxial thin film was grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The active layers were consisted with the serial order of multi-quantum wells for blue, green and red lights. The fabricated LED chip showed the electroluminescence peaked at 450, 560 and 600 nm. For the current injection of 20 mA, the operating voltage was measured to 4.25 V and the optical emission power was obtained to 0.7 $\mu$W.

ZnO films were deposited onto Corning glass 7059 substrate in the temperature range from $200^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$ by chemical vapor deposition technique using the hydrolysis of Diet ylzinc (DEZ). As the deposition temperature increased from $200^{\circ}C$ to $350^{\circ}C$, the deposition rate increased with the apparent activation energy of ∼23kJ/mole. Further increase of the deposition temperature above $400^{\circ}C$, however, resulted in a reduction of the rate. It was found that ZnO film grew with a strong C-axis preferred orientation at the temperature of $400^{\circ}C$. As the deposition temperature increased, the film resistivity decreased down to ∼0.2 $\Omega$cm at $450^{\circ}C$. The electrical resistivity was governed more likely by electron concentration rather than by electron mobility. Average optical transmission of the films in the optical wavelength range of 400 nm to 900 nm was over 90% and the optical energy band gap of 3.28∼3.32 eV was obtained from the direct transition.

In this study, deposition of low-dielectric constant SiOC(H) films by conventional plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) were investigated through various characterization techniques. The results show that, with an increase in the plasma power density, the relative dielectric constant (k) of the deposited films decreases whereas the refractive index increases. This is mainly due to the incorporation of organic molecules with $CH_3$ group into the Si-O-Si cage structure. It is as confirmed by FT-IR measurements in which the absorption peak at 1,129 $cm^{-1}$ corresponding to Si-O-Si cage structure increases with power plasma density. Electrical characterization reveals that even after fast thermal annealing process, the leakage current density of the deposited films is in the order of $10^{-11}$ A/cm at 1.5 MV/cm. The reliability of the SiOC(H) film is also further characterized by using BTS test.

A selective deposition of Co thin films for thin film transistor gate electrode has been carried out by the growth with combination of micro-contact printing and metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). This results in the elimination of optical lithography process. MOCVD has been employed to selectively deposit Co films on preformed OTS gate pattern by using micro-contact printing (${\mu}CP$). A hydrogenated amorphous silicon TFT with a Co gate selectively formed on SAMs patterned structure exhibited a subthreshold slope of 0.88V/dec, and mobility of $0.35cm^2/V-s$, on/off current ratio of $10^6$, and a threshold voltage of 2.5V, and thus demonstrating the successful application of the novel bottom-up approach into the fabrication of a-Si:H TFTs.

$HfO_2$films were grown on Si substrate in the temperature range $250~550^{\circ}C$ using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique for a gate dielectric. Hafnium tart-butoxide and Oxygen gas were used as precursors and N2 was used as carrier gas. Impurity distribution and film structure(including interfacial layer) were studied at the deposition temperature range between 25$0^{\circ}C$ and $550^{\circ}C$. The growth rate and impurty distribution decreased with increasing temperature. The electrical properties of $HfO_2$were investigated with C-V, 1-V method and showed it has a good properties as a gate dielectric.

The effects of plasma damages to the organic thin film transistor (OTFT) during the fabrication process are investigated; metal deposition process on the organic gate insulator by plasma sputtering mainly generates the process induced damages of bottom contact structured OTFTs. For this study, various deposition methods (thermal evaporation, plasma sputtering, and neutral beam based sputtering) and metals (gold and Indium-Tin Oxide) have been tested for their damage effects onto the Poly 4-vinylphenol(PVP) layer surface as an organic gate insulator. The surface damages are estimated by measuring surface energies and grain shapes of organic semiconductor on the gate insulator. Unlike thermal evaporation and neutral beam based sputtering, conventional plasma sputtering process induces serious damages onto the organic surface as increasing surface energy, decreasing grain sizes, and degrading TFT performance.

This study was performed to compare the growth rates, cellular fatty acid compositions and morphology by using electron microscope of Escherichia coli (E. coli) grown in various conditions including different concentrations of phenol, CdCl₂ and HgCl₂. Ninety eight E. coli strains were isolated from Naktong river and human feces. The content of unsaturated fatty acids, especially 16:1ω7c and 18:1ωc increased as the concentration of phenol and CdCl₂ increased. The content of unsaturated fatty acid increased up to 50 ppb of HgCl₂, but decreased at 75 ppb of HgCl₂. There were more unsaturated fatty acids than saturated fatty acid in the presence of toxic substances. However, the ration was reversed when the affected E. coli was transferred to toxic substance free fresh trypticase soy broth medium. Also, by using transmission electron microscope these cells were observed to various morphological deformation by heavy metals and their deposition on the surface. From these results, we suggested that the changes of major fatty acids composition and morphology of E. coli may be considered to indicate contaminated levels of heavy metals or organic solvents. The information presented here may be useful in predicting effects of heavy-metal and organic solvent contamination in streams and provides a basis for further studies of metal or organic solvent effects on microbial communities.
