Ga doped ZnO thin films were deposited with RF magnetron sputtering on glass substrate without intentional substrate heating and then the effect of post deposition annealing temperature on the structural, optical and electrical properties of the films was investigated. The post deposition annealing process was conducted for 30 minutes in a vacuum of $1{\times}10^{-3}$ Torr and the vacuum annealing temperatures were 150 and $300^{\circ}C$, respectively. As increase annealing temperature, GZO films show the increment of the prefer orientation of ZnO (002) diffraction peak in the XRD pattern and the optical transmittance in a visible wave region was also increased, while the electrical sheet resistance was decreased. The figure of merit obtained in this study means that GZO films which vacuum annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ have the highest optoelectrical performance in this study.

In this paper, the effect of different 3D printing parameters including laminated angle and annealing temperature is observed their effect on FDM conductive 3D printing. In FDM 3D printing, a conductive filament is heated quickly, extruded, and then cooled rapidly. FDM 3D Print conductive filament is a poor heat conductor, it heats and cools unevenly causing the rapid heating and cooling to create internal stress. when the printed conductive specimens this internal stress can be increase electrical resistance and decrease electrical conductivity. Therefore, This experiment would like to use annealing to remove internal stress and increase electrical conductivity. The result of experiment when 3D printing conductive specimen be oven cooling of annealing temperature $120^{\circ}C$ electrical resistance appeared decrease than before annealing. So We have found that 3D printing annealing removes internal stresses and increases the electrical conductivity of printed specimens. These results are very useful for making conductive 3D printing electronic circuit, sensor ect...with electrical conductance suitable for the application.

Ohmic joule heating electrodes were developed for the electrical heater of the floor of a room. A composite slurry of super pure black and polyvinylidene fluoride with/without the additives of multi-walled carbon nanotube or kindney stone powder was coated as a thin film on the polyethylene terephthalate film. The performances of heating electrodes were evaluated checking specific conductivity, adhesion strength and hardness. The addition of kindney stone powder increases specific resistance and hardness in a small extent. However, the addition of carbon nanotube increases specific conductivity and hardness. The properties of various compositions of ohmic joule heating electrodes were evaluated.

The electrical properties and the microstructure of nitrogen-doped poly 3C-SiC films used for micro thermal sensors were studied according to different thicknesses. Poly 3C-SiC films were deposited by LPCVD (low pressure chemical vapor deposition) at $900^{\circ}C$ with a pressure of 4 torr using $SiH_2Cl_2$ (100%, 35 sccm) and $C_2H_2$ (5% in $H_2$, 180 sccm) as the Si and C precursors, and $NH_3$ (5% in $H_2$, 64 sccm) as the dopant source gas. The resistivity of the poly SiC films with a 1,530 ${\AA}$ thickness was 32.7 ${\Omega}-cm$ and decreased to 0.0129 ${\Omega}-cm$ at 16,963 ${\AA}$. The measurement of the resistance variations at different thicknesses were carried out within the $25^{\circ}C$ to $350^{\circ}C$ temperature range. While the size of the resistance variation decreased when the films thickness increased, the linearity of the resistance variation improved. Micro heaters and RTD sensors were fabricated on a $Si_3N_4$ membrane by using poly 3C-SiC with a 1um thickness using a surface MEMS process. The heating temperature of the SiC micro heater, fabricated on 250 ${\mu}m$${\times}$250 ${\mu}m$ $Si_3N_4$ membrane was $410^{\circ}C$ at an 80 mW input power. These 3C-SiC heaters and RTD sensors, fabricated by surface MEMS, have a low power consumption and deliver a good long term stability for the various thermal sensors requiring thermal stability.

ZnO single layer films (100 nm thick) and Au intermediated ZnO films (ZnO/Au/ZnO; ZAZ) were deposited on the glass substrate by RF and DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature and then the influence of the Au interlayer on the electrical and optical properties of the films were investigated. ZnO thin films show the visible transmittance of 90.3 % and sheet resistance of 63.2×10⁸ Ω/□. In ZAZ films, as Au interlayer thickness increased from 6 to 10 nm, the sheet resistance decreased from 58.3×10⁸ to 48.6 Ω/□, and the visible transmittance decreased from 84.2 to 73.9 %. From the observed results, it can be concluded that the intermediate Au thin film enhances the opto-electrical performance of ZnO films without intentional substrate heating.

100 nm thick Ga doped ZnO (GZO) thin films were deposited with RF magnetron sputtering on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and ZnO coated PET substrate and then the effect of the ZnO thickness on the optical and electrical properties of the GZO films was investigated. GZO single layer films had an optical transmittance of 83.7% in the visible wavelength region and a sheet resistance of $2.41{\Omega}/{\square}$, while the optical and electrical properties of the GZO/ZnO bi-layered films were influenced by the thickness of the ZnO buffer layer. GZO films with a 20 nm thick ZnO buffer layer showed a lower sheet resistance of $1.45{\Omega}/{\square}$ and an optical transmittance of 85.9%. As the thickness of ZnO buffer layer in GZO/ZnO bi-layered films increased, both the conductivity and optical transmittance in the visible wavelength region were increased. Based on the figure of merit (FOM), it can be concluded that the ZnO buffer layer effectively increases the optical and electrical performance of GZO films as a transparent and conducting electrode without intentional substrate heating or a post deposition annealing process.

Micro gas sensor with single electrode was proposed for improving stability and sensitivity. Generally, metal oxide gas sensors have two electrodes for heating and sensing. This fabricated new type sensor have only a single electrode by forming a sensing material onto heating electrode. Pt as a heating and sensing electrode was sputtered on glass substrate and a $SnO_2$ sensing material was thermally evaporated on Pt electrode. $SnO_2$ was patterned by lift-off process and then thermally oxidized in $O_2$ condition for 1 hr., $600^{\circ}C$. The size of fabricated sensor was $1.9{\times}2.1\;mm^2$. As a result of CO gas sensing characteristics, this sensor showed 100 mV change for 1,000 ppm and linearity for wide range($0{\sim}10,000\;ppm$) of gas concentrations. And the sensor shows a good recovery characteristics of 1% deviation compared to initial resistance.

ZnO thick films by Sol-Gel processing were investigated electrics, optics and the sensing characteristics of CO gas. Using the znic acetate dihydrate and acetylaceton (AcAc) as a chelating agent, stable ZnO sol was synthesized. ZnO phase was crystallized through the heat-treatment at $70^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs and influenced the sensing characteristics of the electrics and CO gas by uniform particle distributions not related particle size. The samples on the alumina substrate by thick films were investigated the properties of electrics and the effect of sensing. The sensitivity was so excellent in the sample of the heat-treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ for 12hrs and good in the heat-treatment for 1hrs generally. Crystallization and volatilization of organic materials according to the change of heating treatment temperature of thick films were analyzed by TG-DTA, XRD and mirostructure of thick films were observed by SEM.

This paper describes on the fabrication and characteristics of hot-film type micro-flowsensors integrated with Pt-RTD(resistance thermometer device) and micro-heater on the SOI(Si-on-insulator) membrane and trench structures, in which MGO thin-film was used as medium layer in order to improve adhesion of Pt thin-film to SiO$_2$ layer. Output voltages increased due to increase of heat-loss from sensor to external. The output voltage was 250 nV at N$_2$ flow rate of 2000 sccm/min, heating power of 0.3 W. The response time($\tau$:63%) was about 42 msec when input flow was step-input. The results indicated that micro-flowsensors with the SOI membrane and trench structures have properties of a high-resolution and ow consume power.
