  • Electrical and optical properties of $SiO_2$-doped ZnO (SZO) films on the corning 7059 glass substrates by using rfmagnetron sputtering method are investigated. The deposition rate becomes maximum near 3 wt.% and gradually decreases when the $SiO_2$ content further increases. The growth rates at 3 wt.% is $4^{\circ}$A/s. We found that the average transmittance of all films is over 80% in the wavelength range above 500 nm. The optical band gap decreases from 3.52 to 3.33 eV with an increase in thickness. X-ray diffraction patterns show that the film with a relatively low $SiO_2$ content (< 4 wt.%) is amorphous. SZO films at the $SiO_2$ contents of 2 wt.% shows the resistivity of about $3.8{\times}10^{-3}{\cdot}cm$. The sheet resistance decreases with increasing the heat treatment temperature.

  • $Ce^{4+}$, $Eu^{3+}$, $Tb^{3+}$ co-doped $Ca_3Si_3O_8F_2$ phosphor was synthesized via solid state reaction method using $CaF_2$, $CaCO_3$ and $SiO_2$ as raw materials for the host and $Eu_2O_3$, $CeO_2$, and $Tb_4O_7$ as activators. The luminescent properties of the phosphor was analysed by spectrofluorophotometer at room temperature. The effect of excitation wavelengths on the luminescent properties of the phosphor i.e. under near-ultraviolet (nUV) and visible excitations was investigated. The emission peaks of $Ce^{4+}$, $Eu^{3+}$, $Tb^{3+}$ co-doped $Ca_3Si_3O_8F_2$ phosphor lays at 480(blue band), 550(green band) and 611nm (red band) under 380nm excitation wavelength, attributed to the $Ce^{4+}$ ion, $Tb^{3+}$ ion and $Eu^{3+}$ ions respectively. The results reveal that the phosphor emits white light upon nUV (380nm) / visible (465nm) illumination, and a red light upon 395nm / 535nm illumination. RE ions doped $Ca_3Si_3O_8F_2$ is a promising white light phosphor for LEDs. The emission colours can be seen using Commission international de l'eclairage (CIE) co-ordinates. A single host phosphor emitting different colours under different excitations indicates that it is a potential phosphor having applications in many fields.

  • In this study, we investigated that the resistance switching characteristics of W-doped NbOx films with increasing W doping concentration. The W-doped NbOx based ReRAM devices with a TiN/W-doped NbOx/Pt/Ti/SiO2 were fabricated on Si substrates. The 50 nm thick W-doped NbOx films were deposited by reactive dc magnetron co-sputtering at $400^{\circ}C$ and oxygen partial pressure of 35%. Micro-structure of W-doped NbOx films and atomic concentration were investigated by XRD, TEM and XPS, respectively. The W-doped NbOx films showed set/reset resistance switching behavior at various W doping concentrations. The process voltage of set/reset is decreased and whereas the initial current level is increased with increasing W doping concentration in NbOx films. The change of resistance switching behavior depending on doping concentration was discussed in terms of concentration of metallic tungsten of oxygen of W-doped NbOx.

  • Transparent conductive multilayers have been fabricated using transparent amorphous Si doped indium oxide (ISO) semiconductors and metallic Ag of ISO/Ag/ISO. The resistivity of a multilayer is dependent on the middle layer thickness of silver. The thickness of the Ag layer is fixed at 11 nm and takes into account cost and optical transmittance. As-deposited ISO/Ag (11 nm)/ISO multilayer shows a measured resistivity of 7.585×10−5 Ω cm. After a post annealing treatment of 400℃, the resistivity is reduced to 4.332×10−5 Ω cm. The reduction of resistivity should be explained that the mobility of the multilayer increased due to the optimized crystalline, meanwhile, the Hall concentration of the multilayer showed an obscure change because the carriers mainly come from the insert of the Ag layer.

  • High-efficient transparent conductive oxide (TCO) film-embedding Si heterojunction solar cells were fabricated. An additional doping was not applied for heterojunction solar cells due to the spontaneous junction formation between TCO films and an n-type Si substrate. Three different TCO coatings were formed by sputtering method for an Al-doped ZnO (AZO) film, an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) film and double stacks of ITO/AZO films. An improved crystalline ITO film was grown on an AZO template upon hetero-epitaxial growth. This double TCO films-embedding Si heterojunction solar cell provided significantly enhanced efficiency of 9.23% as compared to the single TCO/Si devices. The effective arrangement of TCO films (ITO/AZO) provides benefits of a lower front contact resistance and a smaller band offset to Si leading enhanced photovoltaic performances. This demonstrates a potential scheme of the effective TCO film-embedding heterojunction Si solar cells.

  • Tb-doped lead zirconate titanate(Pb(Zr$\_$0.6/,Ti$\_$0.4/)O$_3$; PZT) thin films on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si(100) substrates were fabricated by the sol-gel method. The effect on the structural and electrical properties of films measured according to Tb content. The dielectric and ferroelectric properties of Tb-doped PZT thin films were altered significantly by Tb-doping. The PZT thin film with higher dielectric constant and improved leakage current characteristic was obtained by adding 0.3 mol% Tb. The relative dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the 0.3 mol% Tb-doped PZT thin film were 1611 and 0.024, respectively. Typical value of the swichable remanent poaraization(2Pr) and the coercive filed of the PZT film capacitor for 0.3 mol% Tb-doped were 61.4 ${\mu}$C/cm$^2$ and 61.9 kV/cm, respectively. Tb-doped PZT thin films showed improved fatigue characteristics comparing to the undoped PZT thin film.

  • [ $SiO_2$ ]thin films containing Si-nanocrystals and $Er^{3+}$ were fabricated by the RF-sputtering method. Intense emission of $Er^{3+}$ was observed at 1530 nm region after the annealing of the film at $1050^{circ}C$ for 5 min. Channel waveguides were fabricated using such films for the core. The films containing Si higher than 2.4 at% exhibited the change in stress from compression to tension after annealing, which induced the fatal loss-increase in waveguide. The optical gain might be attained by the Er-doped waveguide with Si lower than 2.4 at% by a visible-light-excitation.
