$Tb_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce$ (TAG:Ce) thin films were successfully deposited by a pulsed laser ablation method on a quartz substrate, and low-temperature post-annealing effects on luminescent properties were investigated in detail. TAG:Ce thin films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The as-deposited films were amorphous, and post-annealing above $700^{\circ}C$ was required for crystallization. The post-annealed TAG:Ce thin films showed strong and broad emission bands around 542 nm and excitations at 451 nm, which all corresponded to transitions between the 4f ground level to the $5d^1$ excited levels of Ce ion.

PMN-PZT films with thickness of $5\;{\mu}m$ were deposited on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate at room temperature using aerosol deposition process. The films showed fairly dense microstructure without any crack. XRD and TEM analysis revealed that the films consisted of randomly oriented nanocrystalline and amorphous phases. Post-annealing process was employed to induce crystallization and grain growth of the as-deposited films and to improve the electrical properties. The annealed film showed markedly improved electrical properties in comparison with as-deposited film. The film after annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1h exhibited the best electrical properties. Dielectric constant $(\varepsilon_r)$, remanent polarization $(P_r)$ and piezoelectric constant $(d_{33})$ were 1050, $13\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 120 pC/N, respectively.

Ferroelectric Sr0.8Bi2.4Ta2O9 stock solutions were prepared by MOD(Metaloganic Decompostion) process. The phase transformation for the layered perovskite of the SBT thin films by changing RTA(Rapid her-mal Annealing) temperatuer from 700$^{\circ}C$to 780$^{\circ}C$ were observed using XRD and SEM. Layered perovskite phase began to appear above 740$^{\circ}C$ and then SBT thin films were annealed at 800$^{\circ}C$ for 1hr for its com-plete crystallization. The specimens showed well shaped hysteresis curves without post annealing that car-ried out after deposition of Pt top electrode. The SBT thin films showed the asymmetric ferroelectric pro-perties. It was confirmed that the properties were caused by interface effect to SBT and electrode by leak-age current density measurement and asymmetric properties reduced by post annealing. At post annealing temperature of 800$^{\circ}C$ remanant polarization values (2Pr) were 6.7 9 ${\mu}$C/cm2 and those of leakage current densities were 3.73${\times}$10-7 1.32${\times}$10-6 A/cm2 at 3, 5V respectively. Also bismuth bonding types of SBT thin film surface were observed by XPS.

Transparent and conducting indium tin oxide (ITO) and ITO/Nickel/ITO(INI) multilayered films were prepared on glass substrates by a magnetron sputtering without intentional substrate heating. The RF(13.56MHz) and DC power were applied to ITO and Nickel target, respectively. The thickness of ITO, Ni and ITO films were kept constantly at 50, 5 and 45 nm. In order to consider the effect of post deposition vacuum annealing in vacuum on the physical and optoeletrical properties of INI films, optical transmittance, electrical resistivity, crystallinity of the films were analyzed. From the observed result, it may conclude that the optoelectrical properties of the INI films were dependent on the post deposition annealing. For the INI films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$, the films have a polycrystalline structure with (110), (200), (210), (211) and (300). The resistivity of the films were $4.0\times10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ at room temperature. As the annealing($300^{\circ}C$), resistivity decreased to $2.8\times10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$. And also the optical transmittance decreased from 79 to 70 % at 550nm.

$(Pb_{1-x}La_x)TiO_3$ (x = 0.1) 박막을 초음파분무 MOCVD법으로 ITO-coated glass 기판 위에 제조하였다. PLT 박막 제조 시 후열처리 및 seeding layer가 결정화 및 미세구조, 전기적 특성에 대한 영향을 알아보았다. 후열처리에 의하여 박막의 결정성은 향상되었고 미세구조에도 영향을 주었으며, 전기적 특성은 이들 특성의 변화에 의해서 향상되었다. 그리고 seeding layer에 의한 핵 생성자리 제공에 의하여 결정성의 향상과 grain 크기의 증가에 의하여 박막의 전기적 특성 또한 향상되었다. Seeding layer를 가지고 60분 동안 후열처리를 한 박막이 가장 우수한 전기적 특성을 나타내었으며 이 박막의 1 kHz에서 유전 상수는 213을 나타내었다.

Ferroelectric thin film capacitors with high dielectric constant are important for the application of memory devices. In this work, thin films of PLT(28)(Pb$\sub$0.72/La$\sub$0.28/Ti$\sub$0.93/O$_3$) were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrates in-situ annealing and ex-situ annealing have been compared depending on the annealing time. We have systematically investigated the variation of grain sizes depending on the condition of post-annealing and the variation of deposition rate. C-V measurement, ferroelectric properties, leakage current and SEM were performed to investigate the electrical properties and the microstructural properties of Pb(La,Ti)O$_3$.

As display industry requires various applications for future display technology, which can guarantees high level of flexibility and transparency on display panel, oxide semiconductor materials are regarded as one of the best candidates. $InGaZnO_4$(IGZO) has gathered much attention as a post-transition metal oxide used in active layer in thin-film transistor. Due to its high mobility fabricated at low temperature fabrication process, which is proper for application to display backplanes and use in flexible and/or transparent electronics. Electrical performance of amorphous oxide semiconductors depends on the resistance of the interface between source/drain metal contact and active layer. It is also affected by sheet resistance on IGZO thin film. Controlling contact/sheet resistance has been a hot issue for improving electrical properties of AOS(Amorphous oxide semiconductor). To overcome this problem, post-annealing has been introduced. In other words, through post-annealing process, saturation mobility, on/off ratio, drain current of the device all increase. In this research, we studied on the relation between device's resistance and post-annealing temperature. So far as many post-annealing effects have been reported, this research especially analyzed the change of electrical properties by increasing post-annealing temperature. We fabricated 6 main samples. After a-IGZO deposition, Samples were post-annealed in 5 different temperatures; as-deposited, $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$. Metal deposition was done on these samples by using Mo through E-beam evaporation. For analysis, three analysis methods were used; IV-characteristics by probe station, surface roughness by AFM, metal oxidation by FE-SEM. Experimental results say that contact resistance increased because of the metal oxidation on metal contact and rough surface of a-IGZO layer. we can suggest some of the possible solutions to overcome resistance effect for the improvement of TFT electrical performances.

Poly (vinylidene fluoride) thin films were deposited by a spray-coating technology. Two organic solvents with different boiling point were used to prepare the mixture solution for spray coating process: N-Methylpyrrolodone ($B.P.=202^{\circ}C$); Tetrahydrofuran ($B.P.=66^{\circ}C$). Post-deposition annealing temperature was varied for the spray-coated Poly(vinylidene fluoride) thin films. Structural characteristics of the thin films were comparatively investigated by FT-IR and XRD in relation with the organic solvent and post-deposition annealing temperature.

A low temperature process technology of copper thin films has been developed by a chemical vapor deposition technology for multi-level metallzations in ULSI fabrication. The copper films were deposited on TiN/Si substrates in helium atmosphere with the substrate temperature between $130^{\circ}C$ and $250^{\circ}C$. In order to get more reliable metallizations, effects on the post-annealing treatment to the electrical properties of the copper films have been investigated. The Cu films were annealed at the $5 \times10^{-6}$ Torr vacuum condition and the electrical resistivity and the nano-structures were measured for the Cu films. The electrical resistivity of Cu films shown to be reduced by the post-annealing. The electrical resistivity of 2.0 $\mu \Omega \cdot \textrm{cm}$ was obtained for the sample deposited at the substrate temperature of $180^{\circ}C$ after vacuum annealed at $300^{\circ}C$. The resistivity variations of the films was not exactly matched with the size of the nano-structures of the copper grains, but more depended on the contamination of the copper films.
