In this work, we studied the influence of the dopant elements concentration on the properties of SnO2 thin films deposited by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Hall effect measurement and UV-Vis studies were performed to characterize the deposited films. XRD results showed that the films had polycrystalline nature with tetragonal rutile structure. FE-SEM micrographs revealed that the as deposited films composed of dense microstructures with uniform grain size distribution. All the films show n-type conduction and the best transparent conductive oxide (TCO) performance was obtained on 6 wt% Sb2O5 doped SnO2 film prepared at pO2 of 60mtorr and Ts of 500 ℃. Its resitivity, optical transmittance, figure of merit are 7.8 × 10-4 Ω cm, 85% and 1.2 × 10-2 Ω-1, respectively.

Investigation of improving the properties of UV photodetector which uses the wide bandgap of ZnO are under active progress. In this paper, transparent conducting aluminum-doped Zinc oxide films(AZO) were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering on glass(corning 1737) and p-Si substrate, were then annealed at temperature $400^{\circ}C$ for 2hr. The AZO thin films were deposited by RF sputtering system. HF power and work pressure is 120 W and 15 mTorr, respectively, and the purity of AZO target is 5N. The AZO thin films were deposited at 300, 400, $500^{\circ}C$, and $600^{\circ}C$. For sample deposited at $400^{\circ}C$, we observed best $V_r-I_{ph}$ of 0.94 mA and good transmittance.

The electrical properties of PZT thin film capacitor on TiN/W plug structure were investigated for high density ferroelectric memory devices. In order to enhance the ferroelectric properties of PZT capacitor, the process conditions of bottom electrodes were optimized. The fabricated PZT capacitor on TiN/W plug showed good remanent polarization, leakage current, and contact resistance of TiN/W plug, which were $33\;{\mu}C/cm^2$, $1.2{\times}10^{-6}\;A/cm^2$, and 5.3 ohm/contact, respectively.

In MIS capacitor structure, we have studied the electrical properties in Ammonium Sulfide solution treatment while AIN thin film as a insulator is being formed by reactive sputtering method. The deposition process conditions of AIN thin film we temperature $250^{\circ}C$, DC Power 150 W, pressure 5 mTorr and 8 sccm(Ar : 4 sccm, $N_{2}$ : 4 sccm). The surface of GaAs was treated with Ammonium Sulfide solution, it was shown the leakage current was less than $10^{-8}\;A/cm^{2}$. The deep depletion phenomena of inverse area with treating Ammonium Sulfide solution in C-V analysis was improved as compared the condition of without Ammonium Sulfide solution and hysteresis property as well.

The silver sulphide (Ag2S) thin films have been chemically deposited from an alkaline medium (pH 8 to 10) by using a silver nitrate and thiourea as a Ag and S ion precursor sources. Ethylene Damine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) was used as a complexing agent. The effect of annealing atmosphere such as Ar, N2+H2S and O2 on the structural, morphological and optical properties of Ag2S thin films has been studied. The annealed films were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical absorption techniques for the structural, morphological, and optical properties, respectively. XRD studies reveal that the as-deposited thin films are polycrystalline with monoclinic crystal structure, is converted in to silver oxide after air annealing. The surface morphology study shows that grains are uniformly distributed over the entire surface of the substrate. Optical absorption study shows the as-deposited Ag2S thin films with band gap energy of 0.92eV and after air annealing it is found to be 2.25 eV corresponding to silver oxide thin films.

AIN thin films are deposited on Si (100) and $SiO_2$/Si substrates by using an RF magnetron sputtering method and by changing the conditions of deposition variables, such as RF power, $N_2$/Ar flow ratio, and substrate temperature ($T_sub$). For all the deposited AIN films, XRD Peak patterns are monitored to examine the effect of deposition condition on the crystal orientation. Highly (002)-oriented AIN films are obtained at following nominal deposition conditions; RF Power : 350W, $N_2$/Ar ratio = 10/20, T$_{sub}$ : $250^{\circ}C$, and working pressure = 5mTorr, respectively. AIN-based SAW devices are fabricated using a lift-off method by varying the thickness of AIN layer. Insertion losses and side-lobe rejection levels of fabricated SAW devices are extracted from their frequency response characteristics, which are also compared in terms of AIN thickness and substrate. Relationships between the film properties of AIN films and the frequency responses of SAW devices are discussed. It is concluded from the experimental results that the (002)-preferred orientation as well as the surface roughness of AIN film may play a crucial role of determining the device performances of AIN-SAW devices.s.

The adhesion interface formation between copper and poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET), poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) and Polyimide films was treated using Ion assisted reaction system to sequential sputter deposition by High-Frequency ion source. The ion beam modification system used a new type of low power HF ion thruster for space application as new low thruster electric propulsion system. Low power HF ion thruster with diameter 100mm gives the opportunity to obtain beams of Ar+ with currents 20~150 mA (current density 0.5~3.5 mA/cm2) and energy 200~2500eV at HF power level 10~150 W. Using Ar as a working gas it is possible to obtain thrust within 3~8 mN. Contact angles for untreated films were over 95$^{\circ}$ and 80 for Pet, 10o for PMMA and 12o for PI samples as a condition of ion assisted reaction at the ion dose of 10$\times$1016 ions/cm2, the ion beam potential of 1.2 keV and 4 ml/min for environmental gas flow rate. 900o peel tests yielded values of 15 to 35 for PET, 18 to 40 and 12 to 36 g/min. respectively. High resolution X-ray photoelectron spectrocopy is the Cls region for Cu metal on these polymer substrates showed increases in C=O-O groups for polymide, whereas PET and PMMA treated samples showed only C=O groups with increase the ion dose. Finally, unstable polymer surface can be changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic formation such as C-O and C=O that were confirmed by the XPS analysis, conclusionally, the ion assisted reaction is very effective tools to attach reactive ion species to form functional groups on C-C bond chains of PET, PMMA and PI.

II-Ⅵ ZnO compound semiconductor thin films were grown on $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$(0001) single crystal substrate by radical beam assisted molecular beam epitaxy and the optical properties were investigated. Zn(6N) was evaporated using Knudsen cell and O radical was assisted at the partial pressure of 1$\times$10$^{4}$ Torr and radical beam source of 250-450 W RF power. In $\theta$-2$\theta$ x-ray diffraction analysis, ZnO thin film with 500 nm thickness showed only ZnO(0002)and ZnO(0004) peaks is believed to be well grown along c-axis orientation. Photoluminescence (PL) measurement using He-Cd ($\lambda$=325 nm) laser is obtained in the temperature range of 9 K-300 K. At 9 K and 300 K, only near band edge (NBE) is observed and the FWHM's of PL peak of the ZnO deposited at 450 RF power are 45 meV and 145 meV respectively. From no observation of any weak deep level peak even at room temperature PL, the ZnO grains are regarded to contain very low defect density and impurity to cause the deep-level defects. The peak position of free exciton showed slightly red-shift as temperature was increased, and from this result the binding energy of free exciton can be experimentally determined as much as $58\pm$0.5 meV, which is very closed to that of ZnO bulk. By van der Pauw 4-point probe measurement, the grown ZnO is proved to be n-type with the electron concentration($n_{e}$ ) $1.69$\times$10^{18}$$cm^3$, mobility($\mu$) $-12.3\textrm{cm}^2$/Vㆍs, and resistivity($\rho$) 0.30 $\Omega$$\cdot$cm.

Thin Silicon oxynitride(SiON) films have been chemically deposited using 193nm ArF Excimer Laser CVD, with $Si_{2}H_{8}$, $N_{2}O$, and $NH_3$ as the reactive gases and $N_2$ as the carrier gas. Experimental results show that deposition rate and refractive index have a strong dependence on substrate temperature, chamber pressure, gas ratio, laser power and laser beam height. Electrical characterization of oxynitride films demonstrates that for $NH_{3}/N_{2}O$ flow ratios ranging from 0.25 to 1, the leakage currents, the interface trap density and the capacitances (dielect ric constant) increase and the dielectric breakdown fields decrease
