ITO thin film was deposited on the glass by RF magnetron sputtering. Dependance of the process parameters such as thickness, target-to-substrate distance, substrate temperature and oxygen partial pressure on the transmittance and electrical resistance of ITO film were investigated. The deposition conditions for getting better optical and electrical ITO characteristics were the 1800-$2300\AA$ thickness, 65mm substrate-to-target distance, $350^{\circ}C$ substrate temperature and 8% oxygen partial pressure. At these conditions, the transmittance and sheet resistance of the ITO film were 83.3% and 77.86Ω/$\square$, respectively.

This paper introduces a new approach for saving build time of hybrid rapid prototyping by decomposing a part into minimum number of layers. In the hybrid rapid prototyping, a part of a complicated shape is realized by adding layers of a simpler shape, each of which is obtained by machining a sheet of constant thickness from its top and bottom surfaces. Thus it is desired to decompose a given part into the minimum number of layers while guaranteeing each layer to be fabricated from the given sheets using a 3-axis milling machine. To satisfy these requirements, a concave edge-based algorithm is proposed to decompose a part into layers by considering the tool accessibility, the total number of layers, and the allowable sheet thickness.

The research of graphene, a monolayer of carbon atoms with honeycomb lattice structure, has explosively increased after appeared in 2004. As a result, its high transmittance, mobility, thermal conductivity, and outstanding mechanical and chemical stability have been proved. Especially, many researches were executed about the field of transparent electrode highlighting material of substituting the indium tin oxide (ITO). In addition, qualitative and quantitative improvements have been achieved due to many synthesis methods were discovered. Among them, mostly used method is chemical vapour deposition of graphene grown on copper or nickel. The transmittance, mobility, sheet resistance, and other many properties are completely changed according to these two types of synthesis method of graphene. In this research, considering the difference of characteristics as the synthesis method of graphene, what types of graphene should be used and how to use it were studied. The stacked graphene harvested on copper and multi-layer graphene harvested on nickel were compared and analyzed, as a result, the transmittance of 90% and the sheet resistance of $70{\Omega}{\square}$ was showed even though stacked graphene layers were 4 layers. The reason that could bring these results is lowered sheet resistance due to stacked monolayer graphenes. Moreover, light output power of the three stacked graphene spreading layer shows the highest value, but light-emitting diode with multi-layer graphene died out from 12mA due to also its high sheet resistance. Therefore, we need to clarify about what types of graphene and how to use the graphene in use.

Zinc oxide based thin films have been extensively studied in recent several years because they have very interesting properties and zinc oxide is non-poisonous, abundant and cheap material. ZnO films are employed in different applications like transparent conductive layers in solar cells, protective coatings and so on. Wide industrial application of the ZnO films requires of development of cheap, effective and scalable technology. Typically used technologies don't completely satisfy the industrial requirements. In the present work, we studied effect of the deposition parameters on the structure and properties of ZnO films deposited by DC arc plasmatron. The varied parameters were gas flow rates, precursor composition, substrate temperature and post-deposition annealing temperature. Vapor of Zinc acetylacetone was used as source materials, oxygen was used as working gas and argon was used as the cathode protective gas and a transport gas for the vapor. The plasmatron power was varied in the range of 700-1500 watts. Flow rate of the gases and substrate temperature rate were varied in the wide range to optimize the properties of the deposited coatings. After deposition films were annealed in the hydrogen atmosphere in the wide range of temperatures. Structure of coatings was investigated using XRD and SEM. Chemical composition was analyzed using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Sheet conductivity was measured by 4-point probe method. Optical properties of the transparent ZnO-based coatings were studied by the spectroscopy. It was shown that deposition by a DC Arc plasmatron can be used for low-cost production of zinc oxide films with good optical and electrical properties. Increasing of the oxygen content in the gas mixture during deposition allow to obtain high-resistive protective and insulation coatings with high adhesion to the metallic surface.

In the pesticides sprays, spray and atomization technologies to increase the deposition and reduce the drift are briefly reviewed. Further research is needed to deduce a measure of drift risk in sprays with different structures, velocity profiles. For flat fan nozzles, the data of breakup length and thickness of liquid sheet are essential to understand the atomization processes and develop the transport model to target. In the air-assisted spray technology to reduce drift, further works on the effect of application height on drift and air assistance on droplet size should be followed. In addition, methods for quantifying included air in the air inclusion techniques are required. A few researches on the droplet size of fallout can be found in the literature. A combined technology with electrostatic method into one of method for the reduction of drift may be an effective strategy for increasing deposition and reducing drift.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited on unheated PET substrates by DC reactive magnetron sputtering of In-Sn (90-10 wt%) metallic alloy target. Electrical and optical properties of as-deposited films were systematically studied by control of the deposition parameters such as working pressure, DC power, and oxygen partial pressure. The figures of merit are important factors that summarize briefly the relationship between electrical and optical properties of transparent conducting films. The formulae of T/R$\_$sh/ and T$\^$10// R$\_$sh/ are expressed as a function of transmittance and sheet resistance. The best values of those figures of merit were approximately 38.6 and 8.95 ($\times$10$\^$-3/Ω$\^$-1/), respectively.

This study demonstrates the coating effect of carbon nanotubes on metal meshes, which have been made with various line-spaces and line-width, for touch screen panels. The CNTs have been deposited on metal meshes via electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The sheet resistances, visible transmittances, visible reflectances have been measured before and after electrophoretic deposition. The experimental results confirm that CNT coating metal meshes with various line-spaces and line width can satisfy the requirements that are required for transparent electrodes of touch screen panels.

Degradation of thin oxide by doped poly-Si and its improvement were studied. The gate oxide can be degraded by phosphorous in poly-Si doped POCl3. The degradation is increased with the decrement of sheet resistance and poly-Si thickness. Oxide failures of amorphous-Si are higher than those of poly-Si. In-situ double deposition of amorphous-Si, 54$0^{\circ}C$/30 nm, and poly-Si, 6$25^{\circ}C$/220 nm, forms the mismatch structure of grain boundary between amorphous-Si and poly-Si, and suppresses the excess phosphorous on oxide surface by the mismatch structure. The control of phosphorous through grain boundary improves the oxide reliability.
