In this paper, The process of thin-film coating technology was applied to improve adhesion of the hardness thin film and nitride layer. This thin-film coating technology have formed composite thin-film to gain hardness and toughness used in press mold. The thin-film coating manufacturing technology increased vacuum present in the vacuum chamber and improved the throw ratio of the gun power using physical vapor deposition coating technology. Ti alloys target improved performance and surface material through the development of a composite film coating technology for various precision machining parts.

A new advanced combined PVD/CVD technique of DLC film deposition has been developed. Deposition of a DLC film was carried out using a pulsed carbon arc discharge in vapor hydrocarbon atmosphere. The arc plasma enhancing CVD process promotes dramatic increase in the deposition rate and decrease of compressive stress as well as improvement of film thickness uniformity compared to that obtained with a single PVD pulsed arc process. The optical spectroscopy investigation reveals great increase in radiating components of $C_2$ Swan system molecular bands due to acetylene molecules decomposition. AFM, Raman spectroscopy, XPS and nano-indentation were used to characterize DLC films. The method ensures obtaining a new superhard DLC nano-material for deposition of protective coatings onto various industrial products including those used in medicine.

Two-dimensional materials have been received significant interest after the discovery of graphene due to their fascinating electronic and optical properties for the application of novel devices. However, graphene lack of certain bandgap which is essential requirement to achieve high performance field-effect transistors. Analogous to graphene materials, molybdenum disulfide ($MoS_2$) as one of transition-metal dichalcogenides family presents considerable bandgap and exhibits promising physical, chemical, optical and mechanical properties. Here we studied nonvolatile memory based on $MoS_2$ which is grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. $MoS_2$ growth was taken on $1.5{\times}1.5cm^2$ $SiO_2$/Si-substrate. The samples were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristic was carried out HP4156A. The CVD-$MoS_2$ was analyzed as few layers and 2H-$MoS_2$ structure. From I-V measurement for two metal contacts on CVD-$MoS_2$ sample, we found typical resistive switching memory effect. The device structures and the origin of nonvolatile memory effect will be discussed.

Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is commonly used for Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) fabrication, and the process can easily be applied to industrial production lines. In this works, we developed novel magnetized radio frequency PECVD system for one line process of CNTs fabrication for charge storable electrode application. The system incorporates aspects of physical and chemical vapor deposition using capacitive coupled RF plasma and magnetic confinement coils. Using this magnetized RF-PECVD system, we firstly deposited Fe layer (about 200[nm]) on Si substrate by sputter method at the temperature of 300[$^{\circ}$] and hence prepared CNTs on the Fe catalyst layer and investigated fundamental properties by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy (RS). High-density, aligned CNTs can be grown on Fe/Si substrates at the temperature of 600[$^{\circ}$] or less.

Graphene has drawn great interests because of its distinctive band structure and physical properties[1]. A few of the practical applications envisioned for graphene include semiconductor applications, optoelectronics (sola cell, touch screens, liquid crystal displays), and graphene based batteries/super-capacitors [2-3]. Recent work has shown that excellent electronic properties are exhibited by large-scale ultrathin graphite films, grown by chemical vapor deposition on a polycrystalline metal and transferred to a device-compatible surface[4]. In this paper, we focussed our scope for the understanding the graphene growth at different conditions, which enables to control the growth towards the application aimed. The graphene was grown using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with methane and hydrogen gas in vacuum furnace system. The grown graphene was characterized using a scanning electron microscope(SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. We changed the growth temperature from 900 to $1050^{\circ}C$ with various gas flow rate and composition rate. The growth condition for larger domain will be discussed.

In this study, the $\beta$-Polyvinylidene fluoride($\beta$-PVDF) organic thin films were fabricated by physical vapor deposition method as one of the dry-processing methods and applying electric field during the vapor deposition. When the substrate temperature is $80^{\circ}C$, the PVDF organic thin films exhibit the characteristic absorption band of the $\beta$ forms $510cm^{-1}$, $602cm^{-1}$ and $1273cm^{-1}$, and the fraction of $\beta$ form crystals in the total crystalline content was 95%. The molecular structure of PVDF organic thin films were transformed from $\alpha$ to $\beta$ form with increasing of applied electric field and the control of substrate temperature.

To investigate the effect of preparing condition on the physical properties of carbon nanotubes suitable for optical applications, carbon nanotubes were synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition using Ni particles as a catalyst on stainless steel substrate and acetylene as a reactant gas. To examine the physical and optical properties, SEM, TEM, Ram an, UV-visible, and photoluminescence spectroscopy were used. The physical properties of carbon nanotubes such as diameter, degree of growth density and morphology were closely related to such experimental conditions as Ni particle size, growing pressure, and etching condit on of Ni particles, it appeared from the light absorbance and photoluminescence spectra of carbon nanotube mixture prepared with an addition of a photopolymer, P3HT(Poly(3-hexylthIop hene)) that carbon nanotube could do a role as a kind of electron acceptor for solar cell application.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have developed into one of the most competitively researched nano-materials of this decade because of their structural uniqueness and excellent physical properties such as nanoscale one dimensionality, high aspect ratio, high mechanical strength, thermal conductivity and excellent electrical conductivity. Mass production and structure control of CNTs are key factors for a feasible CNT industry. Water and ethanol vapor enhance the catalytic activity for massive growth of vertically aligned CNTs. A shower system for gas flow improves the growth of vertically aligned single walled CNTs (SWCNTs) by controlling the gas flow direction. Delivery of gases from the top of the nanotubes enables direct and precise supply of carbon source and water vapor to the catalysts. High quality vertically aligned SWCNTs synthesized using plasma enhance the chemical vapor deposition technique on substrate with suitable metal catalyst particles. This review provides an introduction to the concept of the growth of vertically aligned SWCNTs and covers advanced topics on the controlled synthesis of vertically aligned SWCNTs.

Nanorod films of cobalt oxide ($Co_3O_4$) have been grown by a unique oblique angle deposition (OAD) technique in an e-beam evaporator for supercapacitor electrode applications. This technique offers a non-chemical route to achieve large aspect ratio nanorods. The fabricated electrodes at OAD $80^{\circ}$ exhibited a specific capacitance of 2875 F/g. The electrochemically active surface area was $1397cm^{-2}$, estimated from the non-Faradaic capacitive current region. Peak energy and power densities obtained for $Co_3O_4$ nanorods were 57.7 Wh/Kg and 9.5 kW/kg, respectively. The $Co_3O_4$ nanorod electrode showed a good endurance of 2000 charge-discharge cycles with 62% retention. The OAD approach for fabricating supercapacitor nanostructured electrodes can be exploited for the fabrication of a broad range of metal oxide materials.

This paper presents the deposition characterization of polycrystalline silicon films by the HWCVD(Hot-wire Chemical Vapor Deposition) method at low substrate($300^{\circ}C$). The filament temperature, pressure and $SiH_4$ concentration were determined to be a critical parameter for the deposition of poly-Si films. Series A was deposited under the conditions of $1380^{\circ}C$(Tf), 100 mTorr and $2{\sim}10%\{SiH_4/(SiH_4+H_2)\}$ for 60 min. Series B was deposited under the conditions of $1400{\sim}1450^{\circ}C$ (Tf), 30 mTorr and $2{\sim}12%$ for 60 min. The physical characteristics were measured by Raman and FTIR spectroscopy, dark and photoconductivity measurements under AM1.5 illumination.
