This paper investigated structural and electrical properties of $Y_{2}O_3$ as a buffer layer of sin91r transistor FRAM (ferroelectric RAM). $Y_{2}O_3$ buffer layers were deposited at a low substrate temperature below 400$^{\circ}C$ and then RTA (rapid thermal anneal) treated. Investigated parameters are substrate temperature, $O_2$ partial pressure, post- annealing temperature, and suppression of interfacial $SiO_2$ layer generation. for a well-fabricated sample, we achieved that leakage current density ($J_{leak}$) in the order of $10^{-7}A/cm2$, breakdown electric field ($E_{br}$) about 2 MV/cm for $Y_{2}O_3$ film. Capacitance versus voltage analysis illustrated dielectric constants of 7.47. We successfully achieved an interface state density of $Y_{2}O_3$/Si as low as $8.72{\times}10^{10}cm^{-2}eV^{-1}$. The low interface states were obtained from very low lattice mismatch less than 1.75%.

The shape anisotropy effect of a giant magnetoresistance-spin valves (GMR-SV) device with a glass/NiO/NiFe/CoFe/Cu/CoFe/NiFe layered structure for use in the detection of magnetic property of molecules within a cell was investigated. The patterned device was given uniaxial anisotropy during the sputtering deposition and vacuum post-annealing, which was performed at $200^{\circ}C$ under a 300 Oe magnetic field. The pattern size of the device, which was prepared through the photolithography process, was $2{\times}15\;{\mu}m^2$. The experimental results confirmed that the best design for a GMR-SV device to be used as a biosensor is to have both the axis sensing current and the easy axis of the pinned NiO/NiFe/CoFe triple layer oriented in the direction of the device's width, while the easy axis of the free CoFe/NiFe bilayer should be pointed along the long axis of the device.

Ferroelectric $HoMnO_3$ thin films were deposited on the Si(100) substrate at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and post-annealed at 850oC by rapid thermal process (RTP). Electrical properties and crystalline phases of $HoMnO_3$ thin films were investigated as a function of postannealing time. Single phase of hexagonal symmetry with c-axis preferred orientation was obtained from $HoMnO_3$ thin films post-annealed at $850^{\circ}C$ for 5 min, while the c-axis preferred orientation was decreased with the increase of post-annealing time, and the thin films post-annealed at $850^{\circ}C$ for 15 min showed the mixture phases of hexagonal and orthorhombic symmetry. P-E (Polarization-Electric field) hysteresis loop of ferroelectric $HoMnO_3$ thin films was observed only for the single phase of hexagonal symmetry, but that was not observed for the mixture phases of the hexagonal and orthorhombic symmetry, which was discussed with the bond valence of Mn ion of crystalline phase. Leakage current density was dependent on the microstructure of thin films as well as the change of valence of Mn ion.

This paper investigated structural and electrical properties of $Y_2$ $O_3$ as a buffer layer of single transistor FRAM (ferroelectric RAM). $Y_2$ $O_3$ buffer layers were deposited at a low substrate temperature below 40$0^{\circ}C$ and then RTA (rapid thermal anneal) treated. Investigated parameters are substrate temperature, $O_2$ partial pressure, post-annealing temperature, and suppression of interfacial $SiO_2$ layer generation. For a well-fabricated sample, we achieved that leakage current density ( $J_{leak}$) in the order of 10$^{-7}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$, breakdown electric field ( $E_{br}$ ) about 2 MV/cm for $Y_2$ $O_3$ film. Capacitance versus voltage analysis illustrated dielectric constants of 7.47. We successfully achieved an interface state density of $Y_2$ $O_3$/Si as low as 8.72x1010 c $m^{-2}$ e $V^{-1}$ . The low interface states were obtained from very low lattice mismatch less than 1.75%.

$Bi_{3.25}Eu_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$ (BET) thin films were deposited on the $LaNiO_3$ (LNO (100))/Si and Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates by the metal-organic decomposition method. Structural and dielectric properties of BLT thin films for the applications in nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memories were investigated. Both the structure and morphology of the films were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Even at low temperatures $650^{\circ}C$, the BET thinfilms were successfully deposited on LNO bottom electrode and exhibited (001) and (117) orientation. Compared with the Pt electrode films, the BET thin films on the LNO electrode annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ showed better dielectric constantsand remanent polarization. The BET thin films on the LNO electrode for the annealing temperature of $650^{\circ}C$, the remanent polarization Pr and coercive field were $45.6\;C/cm^2$ and 171 kV/cm, respectively.

We report on the ferromagnetic characteristics of $Zn_{1-x}Mn_xO$ films (x = 0.3) prepared by sol-gel method on the silicon and (0001) ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ substrates at the annealing temperature of 700$^{\circ}C$. Magnetic measurements show that Curie temperature ($T_C$) and the coercive field ($H_C$) for the film on the silicon are about 32 K and about 275 Oe, while those for that on the sapphire are about 32 K and 425 Oe, respectively. Energy dispersive spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy measurements suggest that ferromagnetic precipitates originated by manganese oxide compound formed at the interfaces of the both substrates may be responsible for the observed ferromagnetic behavior of the films. Electron paramagnetic resonance study of the powders up to the concentration of x=0.15 supports the result.

In this paper, (P $b_{1-x}$ L $a_{x}$)(Z $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$) $O_{3}$ (X=0-13[at%]) thin film were prepared by the Sol-Gel method, Multiple PLZT thin films were spin-coated on the Pt/Ti/ $SiO_{2}$Si substrate. The electrical properties of the films were investigated for varying the annealing temperature. In the PLZT(11/52/48) specimens, the dielectric ocnstant of 1236 and the polarization reversal time of 460[nm] were obtained and the breakdown of the film did not occur up to 1*10$^{10}$ cycles at the voltage of 7[V] by the bipolar acceleration. The remanent polarization and coercive field decreased with increasing the content of La in the range of 0-13[at%] and thin film of the PLZT(11/52/48) showed the value of 2.56[.mu.C/c $m^{2}$] and 21.1[kV/cm], respectively.ly.y.

This paper describes the interface stability of Ta-Mo alloy metal on $SiO_2$ Alloy was formed by co-sputtering method, and the alloy composition was varied by controlling Ta and Mo sputtering power. When the atomic composition of Ta was about 91%, the measured work function was 4.2eV that is suitable for NMOS gate. To identify interface stability between Ta-Mo alloy metal and $SiO_2$, C-V, FE-SEM(Field Emission-SEM), and XRD(X-ray diffraction) were performed on the samples annealed with rapid thermal processor between $600^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$. Even after $900^{\circ}C$ rapid thermal annealing, excellent interface stability and electrical properties were observed. Also, thermodynamic analysis was studied to compare with experimental results.

[ $Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$ ] (BLT) thin films were prepared by using metal organic decomposition method onto the LaNiO3 (LNO) bottom electrode. Both the structure and morphology of the films were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Even at low temperatures ranging from 450 to $650^{\circ}C$, the BLT thin films were successfully deposited on LNO bottom electrode and exhibited (117) orientation. The BLT thin films annealed as low as $600^{\circ}C$ showed excellent ferroelectricity, higher remanent polarization and no significant degradation of switching charge at least up to $5{\times}10^9$ switching cycles at a frequency of 100 kHz and 5 V. For the annealing temperature of $600^{\circ}C$, the remanent polarization $P_r$ and coercive field were $23.5\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 120 kV/cm, respectively.

Ferroelectric Cerium-substituted $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ thin films with a thickness of 200 nm were deposited using the liquid delivery metal organic chemical vapor deposition process onto a Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrate. At annealing temperature above $600^{\circ}C$, the BCT thin films became crystallized and exhibited a polycrystalline structure. The BCT thin film annealed at $720^{\circ}C$ showed a large remanent polarization ($2P_r$) of $44.56\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ at an applied voltage of 5V. The BCT thin film exhibits a good fatigue resistance up to $1{\times}10^{11}$ switching cycles at a frequency of 1 MHz with applied electric field of ${\pm}5\;V$.
