Thin films of single phase, polycrystalline silicon germanium (Si$_{1-x}$ Ge$_{x}$) were prepared by ion-beam evaporation (IBE) using Si-Ge multi-phase targets. After irradiation of the targets by a pulsed light ion beam with peak energy of 1 MV, 450 and 480 nm thick films were deposited on Si single crystal and quartz glass substrates, respectively. From XRD analysis, the thin films consisted of a single phase Si$_{1-x}$ Ge$_{x}$, whose composition is close to those of the targets.rgets.

PZT thin films were formed by rf-magnetron sputtering on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate. Bulk PZT target containing $5\%$ excess PbO was used. They were formed with in-situ process at $650^{\circ}C$ as total thickness of 175 and 250 nm after the depositing of thin PZT films at room temperature, i. e. 2-step Sputtering. It was found that the ferroelectric perovskite phase is formed at $650^{\circ}C$ by XRD and the interface between room temp.-layer and $650^{\circ}C$ -layer is not existent. In the samples undergoing 2-step sputtering the dielectric constant was 600 or more and the leakage current density was $2{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$. So, we found that the room temp.-layer on the bottom electrode stabilize the underlaid layers.

Ba(Zr$_{x}$Ti$_{l-x}$)O$_3$(BZT) thin films of x=0.2 and 150nm thickness were prepared on Pt/SiO$_2$/Si substrate by RF Magnetron Sputtering deposition at several temperature (40$0^{\circ}C$, 50$0^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$). As the substrates temperature increase, crystallization of the films and high dielectric constants can be obtained. Capacitance of the film deposited at high temperature is more sensitive to the applied voltage than that of the film deposited at low temperature, and the film's breakdown voltage is higher in low temperature.ure.

Pb(Zr, Ti)$O_3$ ferroelectric thin layers were deposited onto Pt/$SiO_2$/Si substrates by Sol-Gel processing and annealed by RTA at $600^{\circ}C$ for $20{\sim}30\;sec$. microstructure of the films was examined by XRD and SEM analysis. Electrical properties of PZT thin films with different Zr/Ti ratio yield $P_r$ ranging $10{\sim}21{\mu}C/cm^2$, $E_c$, ranging $37.5{\sim}137.5\;kV/cm$, switching times faster than 180nsec, and leakage current about $20{\mu}A/cm^2$. The film was endured about $10^{10}$ fatigue cycles.

Ferroelectric PZT(40/67)/PZT(60/40)heterolayered thin films were Prepared by the alkoxide-based Sol-Gel method. PZT(40/60) and PZT(60/40) stock solutions were made and spin-coated on the P7Ti/Si02/Si substrate alternately. These PZT(40/60) and PZT(60/40) films were dried at 300$^{\circ}C$ for 30min to remove organic materials and were sintered at 650$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour to crystalize into a perovskite structure. The coating and heating procedure were repeated 6 times to form heterolayered films. Increasing the number of coating, coercive field was decreased. The relative dielectric constant, loss, remanent polarization and coercive field of the 4-coated PZT heterolayered were 1200, 4.1[%], 30.794[${\mu}$C/㎡] and 147.22[kV/cm], respectively.

The electrical stability of ZnO: Al thin films deposited on glass substrate by the RF magnetron sputtering method have been modified by a hydrogen annealing treatment and $SiO_2$ protection layer. AZO thin films were deposited at room temperature and different RF powers of 50, 100, 150, and 200 W to optimize the AZO film growth condition. The lowest value of resistivity of $9.44{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ was obtained at 2 mtorr, room temperature, and a power level of 150 W. Then, the AZO thin films were annealed at $250-400^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in hydrogen ambient. The minimum resistivity obtained was $8.32{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ as-annealed at $300^{\circ}C$. The electrical properties were enhanced by the hydrogen annealing treatment. After a 72 h damp-heat treatment in harsh conditions of a water steam at $110^{\circ}C$ for four representative samples, a degradation of electrical properties was observed. The sample of hydrogen-annealed AZO thin films with $SiO_2$ protection layer showed a slight degradation ratio(17%) of electrical properties and a preferable transmittance of 90%. The electrical stability of AZO thin films had been modified by hydrogen annealing treatment and $SiO_2$ protection layer.

The $(SrCa)TiO_3(SCT)$ thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode ($Pt/TiN/SiO_2/Si$) using RF sputtering method at various deposition temperature. The dielectric constant of SCT thin films were increased with the increase of deposition temperature, and changed almost linearly in temperature ranges of $-80{\sim}+90[^{\circ}C]$. Also, SCT thin films was observed the phenomena of dielectric relaxation with the increase of frequency, and the relaxation frequency was observed above 200[kHz]. V-I characteristics of SCT thin films show the increasing leakage current with the increases of deposition temperature. The conduction mechanism of the SCT thin films observed in the temperature range of $25{\sim}100[^{\circ}C]$ can be divided into three characteristic regions with different mechanism by the increasing current. The region 1 below 0.8[MV/cm] shows the ohmic conduction. The region 2 can be explained by the Child's law, and the region 3 is dominated by the tunneling effect.

Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses have been performed on double-structured Au/V and Au/Ti thin films after heat treatment at 500$^{\circ}$C in air. V- and Tiunderlays sandwiched between gold thin films and SiOz substrates form oxides on the free surface of gold films during the heat treatment. The chemical compositions of the oxides were identified as V205 and TiOz in Au/V and Au/Ti thin films, respectively.

The dielectric properties of PZT(4060)/(6040) multilayered thin films with substrate temperature were investigated. PZT(4060)/(6040) thin films were deposited by RF sputtering method on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates with different substrate temperature of $200{\sim}700^{\circ}C$. Increasing the substrate temperature, perovskite structure was increased, and PZT (001), (110), (002), (200) peaks were increased. The relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of PZT(4060)/(6040) multilayered thin films at the substrate temperature of $700^{\circ}C$ were 843 and 2.45, respectively at 1000(Hz).
