In this study, we have investigated the effect of the substrate temperature and hydrogen flow rate on the characteristics of IGZO thin films for the TCO(transparent conducting oxide). For this purpose, IGZO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature and $300^{\circ}C$ with various $H_2$ flow rate. In order to investigate the influences of the hydrogen, the flow rate of hydrogen in argon mixing gas has been changed from 0.1sccm to 1.0sccm. IGZO thin films deposited at room temperature show amorphous structure, whereas IGZO thin films deposited at $300^{\circ}C$ show crystalline structure having an (222) preferential orientation. The electrical resistivity of the amorphous-IGZO films deposited at R.T. was lower than that of the crystalline-IGZO thin films deposited at $300^{\circ}C$. The increase of electrical resistivity with increasing substrate temperature was interpreted in terms of the decrease of the charge carrier mobility. The transmittance of the IGZO films deposited at $300^{\circ}C$ was decreased deposited with hydrogen gas.

The zinc oxide(ZnO) nanowires were deposited on Si(001) substrates by thermal chemical vapour deposition without any catalysts. SEM data suggested that the grown nanostructures were the well-aligned ZnO single crystals with preferential orientation. Back-gate ZnO nanowire field effect transistors(FET) were successfully fabricated using a photolithography process. The fabricated nanowire FET exhibits good contact between the ZnO nonowire and Au metal electrodes. Based on I-V characteristics it was found out that the ZnO nanowire revealed a characteristic of n-type field effect transistor. The drain current increases with increasing drain voltage, and the slopes of the $I_{ds}-V_{ds}$ curves are dependent on the gate voltage.

We have investigated the effect of the hydrogen flow rate on the characteristics of IZO thin films for the TCO (transparent conducting oxide). For this purpose, IZO thin films are deposited by RF magnetron sputtering at 300℃ with various H₂ flow rate. To investigate the influences of the ambient gases, the flow rate of hydrogen in argon was varied from 0.1 sccm to 1 sccm. The IZO thin films deposited at 300℃ show crystalline structure having an (222) preferential orientation. The electrical resistivity of the crystalline-IZO films deposited at 300℃ and hydrogen gas of 0.8sccm was 3.192×10^-4Ω cm, the lowest value. As the hydrogen gas flow rate increased, the resistivity tended to decrease. The XPS profiles showed that the number of oxygen vacancy decreased as the hydrogen flow rate increased. The transmittance of the IZO films deposited at 300℃ were showed more than 80%.

In this study, we have investigated the effect of the substrate temperature on the characteristics of IGZO thin films for the TCO(transparent conducting oxide). For this purpose, IGZO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering at various substrate temperature (room temperature ${\sim}400^{\circ}C$). IGZO thin films deposited at room temperature show amorphous structure, whereas IGZO thin films deposited at $250^{\circ}C$ or more show crystalline structure having an (222) preferential orientation. The electrical resistivity of IGZO film increased with increasing temperature. The change of electrical resistivity with increasing temperature was mainly interpreted in terms of the charge carrier concentration rather than the charge carrier mobility. The electrical resistivity of the amorphous-IGZO films deposited at R.T. was lower than that of the crystalline-IGZO thin films deposited at $300^{\circ}C$. The transmittance of the IGZO films deposited at $300^{\circ}C$ was decreased deposited with hydrogen gas.

Znic sulfide (ZnS) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The substrate temperature varied from room temperature (RT) to $500^{\circ}C$. The structural and optical properties of ZnS films were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDAX) and UV-visible transmission spectra. The XRD analyses reveal that ZnS films have cubic structures with (111) preferential orientation, whereas the diffraction patterns sharpen with the increase in substrate temperatures. The FESEM images indicate that ZnS films deposited at $400^{\circ}C$ have nano-sized grains with a grain size of ~ 67 nm. Then films exhibit relatively high transmittance of 80% in the visible region, with an energy band gap of 3.71 eV. One obvious result is that the energy band gap of the film increases with increasing the substrate temperatures.

Recently, the control of size, morphology and dimensionality in inorganic materials has been rapidly developed into a promising field in materials chemistry. 3D nanostructured flower-like ZnO architecture with different size and shapes have been simply synthesized by hydrothermal process, using zinc acetate and ammonium hydroxide as reactants. In this study, the ZnO thin-films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering in other to get high adhesion and uniformity of 3D nanostructured flower-like ZnO architecture on a $SiO_2$ substrate. The XRD patterns identified that the obtained the nanocrystallized ZnO architecture exhibited a wurtzite structure. SEM images illustrated that the flower-like ZnO bundles consisted of flower-like or chestnut bur, which were characterized by polycrystalline and (002) preferential orientation.

Nanomechanical and electrical properties of vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin films across thermal-driven phase transition are investigated with ultra-high vacuum atomic force microscopy. VO2 thin films have been deposited on the n-type heavily doped silicon wafer by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction reveals that it is textured polycrystalline with preferential orientation of (100) and (120) planes in monoclinic phase. As the temperature increases, the friction decreased at the temperature below the transition temperature, and then the friction increased as increasing temperature above the transition temperature. We attribute this observation to the combined effect of the thermal lubricity and electronic contribution in friction. Furthermore, the dependence of nanoscale conductance on the local pressure was indicated at the various temperatures, and the result was discussed in the view of pressure-induced metal-insulator transition.

In this study, we have studied the effect of substrate temperature and hydrogen flow rate on the characteristics of MZO thin films for the TCO(Transparent conducting oxide). MZO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature and $100^{\circ}C$ with various $H_2$ flow rate(1sccm~4sccm). In order to investigate the effect of hydrogen gas flow rate on the MZo thin film, we experimented with changing the hydrogen in argon mixing gas flow rate from 1.0sccm to 4.0sccm. MZO thin films deposited at room temperature and $100^{\circ}C$ show crystalline structure having (002), (103) preferential orientation. The electrical resistivity of the MZO films deposited at $100^{\circ}C$ was lower than that of the MZO film deposited at room temperature. The decrease of electrical resistivity with increasing substrate temperature was interpreted in terms of the increase of the charge carrier mobility and carrier concentration which seems to be due to the oxygen vacancy generated by the reducing atmosphere in the gas. The average transmittance of the MZO films deposited at room temperature and $100^{\circ}C$ with various hydrogen gas flow was more than 80%.

We have investigated the effect of the substrate temperature and hydrogen flow rate on the characteristics of AZO thin films for the TCO (transparent conducting oxide). For this purpose, AZO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature and 300℃ with various H2 flow rate. Experiments were carried out while varying the hydrogen gas flow rate from 0sccm to 5.0sccm in order to see how the hydrogen gas affects the AZO thin films. AZO thin films deposited at 300℃ showed amorphous structure, whereas IZO thin films deposited at room temperature showed crystalline structure having an (222) preferential orientation. The electrical resistivity of the AZO films deposited at 300℃ was 4.388×10-3Ωcm, the lowest value. As the hydrogen gas flow rate increased, the resistivity tended to decrease.

We studied the microstructure and magnetic property of the pulsed DC magnetron sputtered $Zn_{\0.8}Co_{0.2}O$ film as a function of substrate temperatures. The X-ray patterns of the $Zn_{\0.8}Co_{0.2}O$ film showed a strong (002) preferential orientation at $500^{\circ}C$. The films with a crystallite size of 23-35 nm were grown in the form of nano-sized structure and this tendency was remarkable with increasing substrate temperature. The UV-visible result showed that the $Zn_{\0.8}Co_{0.2}O$ film prepared above $300^{\circ}C$ has a high optical transmittance of over $80\%$ in the visible region. The absorption bands were observed due to sp-d interchange action by $Co^{2+}$ complex ion and dd transition in the region from 500 to 700nm. The resistivity of the film was below $10^{-1}\;\Omega-cm\;above\;300^{\circ}C$. The AGM analysis results for the all films showed the magnetic hysteresis curves of ferromagnetic nature. The low electrical resistivity and room temperature ferromagnetism of ZnCoO thin films 'deposited above $300^{\circ}C$ suggested the possibility for the application to Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors (DMSs).
