Tin oxide thin-films have been widely applied in various fields of high-technology industries due to their excellent physical and electric properties. Those applications are found in various sensors, heating elements of windshield windows, solar cells, flat panel displays as tranparent electrodes. In this study, we conducted an experiment for the deposition of $SnO_2$ on glass of 2nd Gen. size for the effective development of large-scale backplanes. As deposition temperatures or flow rates of the $SnCl_4$ as a precursor changed, the thickness of tin oxide thin-films, their sheet resistances, transmittances, and hazes varied considerably.

OLED has many advantages of low voltage operation, self radiation, light weight, thin thickness, wide view angle and fast response time to overcome existing liquid crystal display (LCD)'s weakness. Therefore, It draws attention as promising display and has already developed for manufactured goods. Also, OLED is regarded as a only substitute of flexible display with a thin display. However, Indium tin oxide(ITO) thin film for electrode of OLED shows a low electrical properties and is impossible to deposit at high thermal condition because electrical characteristics of ITO is getting worse. One of the ways to realize an improved flexible OLED is to use high internal efficiency electrodes, which have higher work function than those single layer of ITO films of the same thickness. The high internal efficiency electrodes film is developed with structure of nickel oxide for bottom Emission Type of OLED.

The $SrRuO_3$/Si thin film electrodes are grown with (00l) preferred orientations on SrO buffered-Si (001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The optimum conditions of SrO buffer layers for $SrRuO_3$ preferred orientations are the deposition temperature of $700^{\circ}C$, deposition pressure of $1\;{\times}\;10^{-6}\;Torr$, and the thickness of 6 nm. The 100nm thick-$SrRuO_3$ bottom electrodes deposited above $650^{\circ}C$ on SrO buffered-Si (001) substrates have a rms roughness of approximately $5.0\;{\AA}$ and a resistivity of 1700 -cm, exhibiting a (00l) relationship. The 100nm thick-$Pb(Zr_{0.2}Ti_{0.8})O_3$ thin films deposited at $575^{\circ}C$ have a (00l) preferred orientation and exhibit $2P_r$ of $40\;C/cm^2$, $E_c$ of 100 kV/cm, and leakage current of about $1\;{\times}\;10^{-7}\;A/cm^2$ at 1V.

We have investigated the electrical properties of $AlO_x$ thin film device. The device has been fabricated top-bottom electrode structure and its transport properties are measured in order to study the resistance change. Electrical properties with linear voltage sweep on a electrodes are used to show the variation of resistance of $AlO_x$ thin film device. Fabricated $AlO_x$ thin film device with MIM structure is changed from a high conductive On-state to a low conductive Off-state by the external linear voltage sweep. It is found that the initial resistance of the $AlO_x$ thin film is low-resistance On state and reversible switching occurs. Consequently, we believe $AlO_x$ thin film is a promising material for a next-generation nonvolatile memory and other electrical applications.

We investigate the transparent TFTs using a transparent ZnSnO3 (ZTO)/Ag/ZTO multilayer electrode as S/D electrodes with low resistivity of $3.24{\times}10^{-5}$ ohm-cm, and high transparency of 86.29% in ZTO based TFTs. The Transparent TFTs (TTFTs) are prepared on glass substrate coated 100 nm of ITO thin film. On atomic layer deposited $Al_2\;O_3$, 50 nm ZTO layer is deposited by RF magnetron sputtering through a shadow mask for channel layer using ZTO target with 1 : 1 molar ratio of ZnO : $SnO_2$. The power of 100W, the working pressure of 2mTorr, and the gas flow of Ar 20 sccm during the ZTO deposition. After channel layer deposition, a ZTO (35 nm)/Ag (12 nm)/ZTO(35 nm) multilayer is deposited by DC/RF magnetron sputtering to form transparent S/D electrodes which are patterned through the shadow mask. Devices are annealed in air at 300$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min following ZTO deposition. Using UV/Visible spectrometer, the optical transmittances of the TTFT using ZTO/Ag/ ZTO multilayer electrodes are compared with TFT using Mo electrode. The structural properties of ZTO based TTFT with ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayer electrodes are analyzed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The transfer and output characterization of ZTO TTFTs are examined by a customized probe station with HP4145B system in are.

It has been investigated for the film uniformity and deposition rate of a-C:H films on glass substrate and polymeric materials in the presence of the modulated crossed magnetic field. We used Plasma CVD, i.e, using a crossed electromagnetic field, for uniform depositing thin film. The optimum discharge condition has been discussed for the gas pressure, the magnetic flux density and the distance between substrate and electrodes, As a result, it is found that the optimum discharge conditions are $CH_4$ concentration $CH_4$=10 %, modulated magnetic flux density B=48 Gauss, pressure P=100 mTorr, discharge power supply voltage V=l kV under these experimental conditions. By using these experimental condition, it is possible to prepare the most uniform film extends over about 160 mm of the film width. In this study, we deposited a-C:H thin film on glass substrate, and have a plan that using this condition, study depositing a-C:H thin film on polymeric substrate in next studies.

Indium tin oxide(ITO) is an advanced ceramic material with many electronic and optical applications due to its high electrical conductivity and transparency to light ITO thin films are used in transparent electrodes for display devices, transparent coatings for solar energy heat mirrors and windows films in n-p heterojunction solar cells, etc. Almost all display devices were fabricated on transparent ITO electrode substrates. There are several factors that cause decay in the efficiency and the failure of display devices. The degradation or damage of ITO is one of the main factors. Under normal operating conditions, the electric fold required for the operation of display devices is very high As a high electric field induces the joule heat, the degradation of the ITO thin film may be expected. Therefore, it is worthy to investigate the thermal and electrical effect on ITO thin films.

Novel structured thin film transistors (TFTs) of amorphous silicon zinc tin oxide (a-SZTO) were designed and fabricated with a thin metal layer between the source and drain electrodes. A SZTO channel was annealed at $500^{\circ}C$. A Ti/Au electrode was used on the SZTO channel. Metals are deposited between the source and drain in this novel structured TFTs. The mobility of the was improved from $14.77cm^2/Vs$ to $35.59cm^2/Vs$ simply by adopting the novel structure without changing any other processing parameters, such as annealing condition, sputtering power or processing pressure. In addition, stability was improved under the positive bias thermal stress and negative bias thermal stress applied to the novel structured TFTs. Finally, this novel structured TFT was observed to be less affected by back-channel effect.
