A supercapacitor was developed using an amorphous ruthenium oxide material. The electrode of supercapacitor was prepared using an amorphous ruthenium oxide, which was synthesized from ruthenium trichloide hydrate$(RuCl_3{\cdo5}xH_2O)$. Thin film of tantalum was used as a current collector because it had wide. potential window characteristics than titanium and 575304 materials. A supercapacitor was assembled with ruthenium oxide as an electrode active material and 4.8M sulfuric acid solution as an electrolyte. The specific capacitance of the electrode was tested by a cyclic voltammetry using a half cell. The maximum differential specific capacitances during the oxidative and the reductive scans were 710 and $645\;F/g-RuO_2{\cdot}nH_2O$, respectively. The average specific capacitance was $521\;F/g-RuO_2{\cdot}nH_2O$. The assembled supercapacitor was protonated to the potential level of 0.5V vs. SCE. Super-capacitor, which was adjusted to the appropriate protonation level, had the specific capacitance of $151\;F/g-RuO_2{\cdot}nH_2O$ based on the concept of full cell.

In this paper, we present a 2 GHz compact analog phase shifter with linear phase-tune characteristic. The compact phase shifter was designed base on a lumped all pass network and implemented using a ceramic substrate fabricated with thin-film technique. For a linear phase-tune characteristic, a capacitance of the varactor diode for a tuning voltage was linearized by connecting series capacitor and subsequently produced an almost linear capacitance change. The inductor and bias circuit in the all pass network was implemented using a spiral inductors for small size, which results in the size reduction to $4\;mm{\times}4\;mm$. In order to measure the phase shifter using the probe station, two CPW pads are included at the input and output. The fabricated phase shifter showed an insertion loss of about 4.2~4.7 dB at 2 GHz band and a total $79^{\circ}$ phase change for DC control voltage from 0 to 5 V, and showed linear phase-tune characteristic as expected in the design.

We developed an 4.5" $192{\times}64$ active matrix organic light-emitting diode display on a glass using organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) switching-arrays with two transistors and a capacitor in each sub-pixel. The OTFTs has bottom contact structure with a unique gate insulator and pentacene for the active layer. The width and length of the switching OTFT is $800{\mu}m$ and $10{\mu}m$ respectively and the driving OTFT has $1200{\mu}m$ channel width with the same channel length. On/off ratio, mobility, on-current of switching OTFT and on-current of driving OTFT were $10^6,0.3{\sim}0.5\;cm^2/V{\cdot}sec$, order of 10 ${\mu}A$ and over 100 ${\mu}A$, respectively. AMOLEDs composed of the OTFT switching arrays and OLEDs made using vacuum deposition method were fabricated and driven to make moving images, successfully.

Ag paste was employed for source and drain electrode of OTFTs and for the data metal lines of OTFT-OLED array on PC(polycarbonate) substrate. We tested two kinds of Ag-pastes such as pastes for 325 mesh and 500 mesh screen mask to examine the pattern ability and electrical performance for OTFTs. The minimum feature size was 60 ${\mu}m$ for 325 mesh screen mask and 40 ${\mu}m$ for 500 mesh screen mask. The conductivity was 60 $m{\Omega}/\square$ for 325 mesh and 133.1 $m{\Omega}/\square$ for 500 mesh. For the OTFT performance the mobility was 0.35 $cm^2/V{\cdot}sec$ and 0.12 $cm^2/V{\cdot}sec$, threshold voltage was -4.7 V and 0.9 V, respectively, and on/off current ratio was ${\sim}10^5$, for both screen masks. We applied the 500 mash Ag paste to OTFT-OLED array because of its good patterning property. The pixel was composed of two OTFTs and one capacitor and one OLED in the area of $2mm{\times}2mm$. The panel successfully worked in active mode operation even though there were a few bad pixels.

In order to increase the capacitance of storage electrode in the DRAM capacitor, two approaches were performed. First, hemispherical and rugged poly silicon films were made by LPCVD to increase the effective surface area of storage electrode. The even surface morphology of conventional poly silicon electrode was changed into the uneven surface of hemispherical of rugged poly silicon films. Second, PECVD $Ta_2O_5$ dielectric films were deposited and thermally treated to study the dielectrical characteristics of $Ta_2O_5$ film on each electrode. MIS capacitors with $Ta_2O_5$ films were electrically characterized by I-V, C-V and TDDB measurements. As a result, the capacitance of the electrode with uneven surface were increased by a factor of 1.2~1.5 and leakage current was increased compared with those of even surface. TDDB result indicates that the electrode with uneven surface has dielectrically more degraded than that of even surface. These results can be helpful as a basic research to develop new generation DRAM capacitors with $Ta_2O_5$ films.
