Pyroelectric $Pb(Zr_{0.3}Ti_{0.7})O_3$ (PZT30/70) thin film IR detectors has been fabricated and characterised. The PZT30/70 thin film was deposited onto $Pt/Ti/Si_3N_4/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by the sol-gel process. Four different substrate conditions were studied for their effects on the pyroelectric responses of the IR detectors. The substrate conditions were the combinations of the Si etching and the Pt/Ti patterning. In the Si etched substrate, the $Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ composite layer was used as silicon etch-stop, and was used as the membrane to support the PZT pyroelectric film element as well. The measured pyroelectric current and voltage responses of detectors fabricated on the micro-machined thin $Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ membrane were two orders higher than those of the detectors on the bulk-silicon. For detectors on the membrane substrate, the Pt/Ti patterned detectors showed a 2-times higher pyroelectric response than that of not-patterned detectors. On the other hand, the pyroelectric response of the detectors on the not-etched Si substrate was almost the same, regardless of the Pt/Ti patterning. It was also found that the rise time strongly depended on the substrate thickness: the thicker the substrate was, the longer the rise-time.

In this study, we demonstrated a characterization of ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$ grown on a cone-shape patterned sapphire substrate by using the halide vapor phase epitaxy. An ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$ was grown on different size of PSS and c-plane sapphire substrate for comparison to confirm the effect of PSS. In addition, growth time of ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$ was gradually increased to confirm growth mechanism of ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$ grown on the PSS. A growth temperature was changed to $470-550^{\circ}C$. It can be analyzed growth conditions and mechanisms on the cone-shape PSS, resulting in a significant decrease in the FWHM value of an asymmetric plane (10-14) of ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$, due to lateral growth that occurs during the growth process.

A miniaturized planar digital video broadcasting terrestrial (DVB-T) antenna, which is composed of a patterned helical line, an open stub, and an impedance matching circuit on an FR4 (${\varepsilon}_r$=4.4) substrate for portable media player applications, is presented in this letter. The antenna has monopole-like, omni-directional radiation characteristics and a wide impedance bandwidth (VSWR<3) in the DVB-T band from 174 MHz to 230 MHz at the VHF band.

We report crystallization of a-Si using XeCl excimer laser annealing [1] on the plastic substrate. We tried to obtain higher crystallinity as the effect of $CeO_2$ seed layer patterned. Also, we tried to control the direction of crystallization growth of silicon layer for lateral growth as the type of $CeO_2$ pattern. This crystallization method plays an important role in low temperature poly-Si (LTPS) [2] process and flexible display.

Super-hydrophobic treated Polyimide film was used as a flexible substrate for developing a new method of metallization. Hydrophilic patterns were fabricated by IN irradiation through shadow mask. Patterned super-hydrophobic substrate was dipped into a bath containing silver nano ink Silver ink was only coated on hydrophilic patterned area. Metal lines of $600{\mu}m$ pitch were fabricated successfully. However, their thickness was too thin to serve as interconnection. To overcome this problem, iterative dipping was conducted. After repeating five times, the thickness of silver metal lines were increased to over than $2{\mu}$. After heat treatment of silver lines, their resistivities were reduced to order of $30{\mu}{\Omega}$-cm the similar level of values reported in other literatures. So, a new method of metallization has high potential for application of RFID antenna and flexible electronics substrates.

Using micro-wells on the Mo substrate, we could obtain various tubular-volcano-types of free-standing diamond field emitters by depositing a diamond film detaching the film and turning the film upside down. The field emission characteristics of these structures were investigated as a function of size, shape and the number density of the tubular-volcano-type diamond field emitters. The field emission characteristics, especially the current density, were greatly enhanced with increasing the number density of the tubular-volcano-type diamond field emitters on the Mo substrate. Based on these results, we suggest that the reduction of the well size can give better field emission characteristics by the increase in the number density of the tubular-volcano-type diamond field emitters. Finally, we suggest the feasibility of fabricating a large-area field emission display using our patterned tubular-volcano-type free-standing diamond field emitters.

Thin tin oxide film with nano-size particle was prepared on silicon substrate by hydrothermal synthetic method and successive sol-gel spin coating method. The fabrication method of tin oxide film with ultrafine nano-size crystalline structure was tried to be applied to fabrication of micro gas sensor array on silicon substrate. The tin oxide film on silicon substrate was well patterned by chemical etching upto 5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$width and showed very uniform flatness. The tin oxide film preparation method and patterning method were successfully applied to newly proposed 2-dimensional micro sensor fabrication.

Ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diodes (LEDs) were grown on a patterned n-type GaN substrate (PNS) with 200 nm silicon-di-oxide (SiO2) nano pattern diameter to improve the light output efficiency of the diodes. Wet etched self assembled indium tin oxide (ITO) nano clusters serve as a dry etching mask for converting the SiO2 layer grown on the n-GaN template into SiO2 nano patterns by inductively coupled plasma etching. PNS is obtained by n-GaN regrowth on the SiO2 nano patterns and UV-LEDs were fabricated using PNS as a template. Two UV-LEDs, a reference LED without PNS and a 200 nm PNS UV-LEDs were fabricated. Scanning Electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Photoluminescence (PL) and Light output intensity- Input current- Voltage (L-I-V) characteristics were used to evaluate the ITO-$SiO_2$ nanopattern surface morphology, threading dislocation propagation, PNS crystalline property, PNS optical property and UVLED device performance respectively. The light out put intensity was enhanced by 1.6times@100mA for the LED grown on PNS compared to the reference LED with out PNS.

In this study, a miniature thin film-patterned heater was fabricated on a silicon substrate using semiconductor process technology and the thermal characteristics of the applied voltage, power, and temperature of the thin film heater were measured and analyzed. The temperature of the thin film pattern heater increased with increasing power, but the temperature increase rate was gradual at high power intervals. The characteristics of the high temperature section of the platinum thin film-patterned heater were analyzed using the heat resistance model under atmospheric and vacuum conditions. The thermal resistance measured in a vacuum atmosphere was 0.79 [K/mW] higher than the heat resistance value 0.69 [K/mW] in air. The temperature of the thin film pattern heater can be maintained at a low power in a vacuum rather than in air, and these results are expected to be utilized in the structural design of a thin film-patterned heater element.

We investigated the sintering and consolidation phenomena of silver nanoparticles under various thermal treatment conditions when they were patterned by a contact printing technique on polyimide substrate films. The sintering of metastable silver nanoparticles commenced at 180 $^{\circ}C$, where the point necks were formed at the contact points of the nanoparticles to reduce the overall surface area and the overall surface energy. As the temperature was increased up to 250 $^{\circ}C$, silver atoms diffused from the grain boundaries at the intersections and continued to deposit on the interior surface of the pores, thereby filling up the remaining space. When the consolidation temperature exceeded 270 $^{\circ}C$, the capillary force between the spherical silver particles and polyimide flat surface induced the permanent deformation of the polyimide films, leaving crater-shaped indentation marks. The bonding force between the patterned silver metal and polyimide substrate was greatly increased by the heat treatment temperature and the mechanical interlocking by the metal particle indentation.
