Siloxane thin films were fabricated on a silicon wafer by spin-coating using a siloxane solution made by the sol-gel process. Fluorine was doped using$ CF_4$ plasma treatment. The film was then annealed in-situ state in the nitrogen atmosphere. In order to examine the influence of annealing and fluorine doping on the siloxane thin film, thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used and the dielectric constant was determined by the high-frequency capacitance-voltage method. Stable siloxane films could be obtained by in-situ annealing in a nitrogen atmosphere after $CF_4$ plasma treatment, and the dielectric value of the film was $\varepsilon$ 2.5.

We describe the fabrication of transparent conducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) film on flexible substrate following the conventional spin coating method. The fabricated film was post treated with diluted acid solution and its electrical and optical characterizations were performed. The electrical conductivity of SWCNTs film was enhanced and the film was found to be attached strongly with substrate after the post treatment.

We have studied a method for the preparation of hybrid $carbon/TiO_2$ complexes involving pitch coating, pitch binding and the penetration of titanium n-butoxide(TNB) solution with porous carbon. The photocatalysts were investigated with surface textural properties and SEM morphology, structural crystallinity and elemental identification between porous carbon and $TiO_2$, and dye decomposition performance. For the all $carbon/TiO_2$ complexes prepared by some kinds of different methods, the excellent photocatalytic effect for dye degradation should be attributed to the both effects between photo-decomposition of the supported $TiO_2$ and adsorptivity of the porous carbons.

3-Dimensionally ordered macroporous $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film was prepared by a sol-gel and dip coating method on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate. An opal structure consisting of mono dispersed polystyrene beads (300 nm) was used as a template. After solution containing Mn and Li precursors was coated on the template-deposited substrate, the template and organic materials in the precursors was removed by calcination at 400 ${^{\circ}C}$. And then the 3-dimensional $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film with spinel structure was fabricated by heat treatment at 700 ${^{\circ}C}$. The structural and electrochemical property was investigated by XRD, SEM and charge-discharge cycler.

In this study, (Ba, Sr)$TiO_3$ (BST) ceramics thin films were prepared by Sol-Gel method. BST solution was made and spin-coated on Pt/$TiO_2$/Si substrate at 4000 [rpm] for 10 seconds. Coated specimens were dried at 150[$^{\circ}C$] for 5 minutes. Coating process was repeated 3 times and then sintered at 750[$^{\circ}C$] for 30 minutes. Structure and electrical characteristics of specimen was analyzed by Fractal Process. Thickness of BST ceramics thin films are about 2800[$\AA$]. Dielectric constant and loss of thin films was little decreased at 1[kHz]~1[MHz]. Dielectric constant and loss to frequency were 250 and 0.02 in BST3. The property of leakage current as the relation between the current and the voltage was that change of the leakage current was stable when the applied voltage was 0~3[V].

In this study, in order to investigate how consecutive treatments of glass surface with HF acid and water vapor/Ar plasma affect the quality of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane self-assembled monolayer (APS-SAM), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) thin films were vapor phase-polymerized immediately after spin coating of FeCl3 and poly-urethane diol-mixed oxidant solution on the monolayer surfaces prepared at various treatment conditions. For the film characterization, various poweful tools were used, e.g., FE-SEM, an optical microscope, four point probe, and a contact angle analyzer. The characterization revealed that HF treatment is not desirable for the synthesis of a high quality PEDOT thin film via vapor phase polymerization method. Rather, sole treatment with plasma noticeably improved the quality of APS-SAM on glass surface. As a result, a highly dense and smooth PEDOT thin film was grown on uniform oxidant film-coated APS monolayer surface.

Recently, thin film capacitors of high dielectric constant and low leakage current are applied to integrated devices. In this study, (Ba, Sr)$TiO_3$ (BST) thin films for low cost were prepared by Sol-Gel method. BST solution was spin-coated on Pt/$SiO_2$/Si substrate at 4,000 rpm for 10 seconds. Coating process was repeated 3 times and then sintered at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. Structural and electrical characteristics of each specimen were analyzed by TG-DTA, SEM, fractal phenomenon, voltage-current and dielectric factor. Thickness of BST ceramics thin films are about 2,600~2,800 ${\AA}$ at depositing 3 times. Dielectric constant of thin films was decreased in 1 kHz~1 MHz. Dielectric constant and loss to frequency were 250 and 0.02 in $(Ba_{0.7}Sr_{0.3})TiO_3$ (BST3). Leakage current of BST3 was $10^{-9}\sim10^{-11}$/ A under 3 V.

We report on the successful fabrication of ZnO nanorod (NR)/polystyrene (PS) nanosphere hybrid nanostructure by combining drop coating and hydrothermal methods. Especially, by adopting an atomic layer deposition method for seed layer formation, very uniform ZnO NR structure is grown on the complicated PS surfaces. By using zinc nitrate hexahydrate $[Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O]$ and hexamine $[(CH_2)_6N_4]$ as sources for Zn and O in hydrothermal process, hexagonal shaped single crystal ZnO NRs are synthesized without dissolution of PS in hydrothermal solution. X-ray diffraction results show that the ZnO NRs are grown along c-axis with single crystalline structure and there is no trace of impurities or unintentionally formed intermetallic compounds. Photoluminescence spectrum measured at room temperature for the ZnO NRs on flat Si and PS show typical two emission bands, which are corresponding to the band-edge and deep level emissions in ZnO crystal. Based on these structural and optical investigations, we confirm that the ZnO NRs can be grown well even on the complicated PS surface morphology to form the chestnut-shaped hybrid nanostructures for the energy generation and storage applications.

In this study, Pb(Z $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$) $O_{3}$ ceramic thin films were fabricated from an alkoxide-based by Sol-Gel method. Pb(Z $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$) $O_{3}$ stock solution was made and spin-coated on the Pt/ $SiO_{2}$/Si substrate at 4000[rpm] for 30[sec.]. Coated specimens were chied at 400[.deg. C] for 10[min].

The effect of the addition of the nano size $Y_2O_3$ powder on the microstructurte and superconducting properties of YBCO thin film deposited on LAO single crystalline substrate by TFA-MOD method was studied. Nano size $Y_2O_3$ powder was added to the stoichiometric precursor solution with a cation ratio of Y : Ba . Cu = 1 : 2 : 3 prepared using TFA as chelating agent. Precursor solutions with and without $Y_2O_3$ addition were coated on $LaAlO_3(100)$ single crystalline substrates by dip coating method. Calcination and conversion heat treatments were performed in controlled atmosphere containing moisture Current carrying capacity(Jc) of YBCO film was enhanced about 50% by $Y_2O_3$ doping and it is thought to be due to the better connectivity of YBCO grains and/or the flux pinning by the $Y_2O_3$ particles embedded in YBCO grains.
