[ $TiO_2$ ]박막은 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 다양한 스퍼터링 파라미터(전력 $0.6{\sim}5.2\;kw$, 기판온도 실온${\sim}350^{\circ}C$, 산소량 $0{\sim}50\;sccm$($O_2+Ar$ 90 sccm, 압력은 약 1 mtorr))를 통하여 증착되었다. TiO-N박막도 가스의 유량비를 제외하고는 $TiO_2$박막과 같은 스퍼터링 조건하에서 증착되었다. 이러한 스퍼터링 파라미터에서 증착된 박막의 전기적 특성을 분석하기 위하여 시트저항을 측정하였고, 박막의 두께(${\alpha}$-step), 표면 거칠기(AFM), 형성 조직(FE-SEM, XRD)을 분석하여 최적 스퍼터링 파라미터를 도출하였다. 최적 스퍼터링 파라미터에서 제조된($TiO_2$, TiO-N)박막을 이용하여 광활성도를 평가하기 위하여 VOCs물질 중 toluene, 반응성 염료인 Suncion Yellow를 대상 물질로 선정하여 적용성 연구를 수행하였다. 실험에서 광촉매 박막은 적용물질에 대해서 광활성을 양호하게 보였으며, 특히 TiO-N광촉매 박막은 가시광 영역에서도 최대 33%의 톨루엔(5 ppm) 제거 효율을 나타내었다.

The best part of graphene is - charge-carriers in it are mass less particles which move in near relativistic speeds. Comparing to other materials, electrons in graphene travel much faster - at speeds of $10^8cm/s$. A graphene sheet is pure enough to ensure that electrons can travel a fair distance before colliding. Electronic devices few nanometers long that would be able to transmit charge at breath taking speeds for a fraction of power compared to present day CMOS transistors. Many researches try to check a possibility to make it a perfect replacement for silicon based devices. Graphene has shown high potential to be used as interconnects in the field of high frequency electrical devices. With all those advantages of graphene, we demonstrate characteristics of electrical and optical properties of graphene such as the effect of graphene geometry on the microwave properties using the measurements of S-parameter in range of 500 MHz - 40 GHz at room temperature condition. We confirm that impedance and resistance decrease with increasing the number of graphene layer and w/L ratio. This result shows proper geometry of graphene to be used as high frequency interconnects. This study also presents the optical properties of graphene oxide (GO), which were deposited in different substrate, or influenced by oxygen plasma, were confirmed using different characterization techniques. 4-6 layers of the polycrystalline GO layers, which were confirmed by High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and electron diffraction analysis, were shown short range order of crystallization by the substrate as well as interlayer effect with an increase in interplanar spacing, which can be attributed to the presence of oxygen functional groups on its layers. X-ray photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy confirms the presence of the $sp^2$ and $sp^3$ hybridization due to the disordered crystal structures of the carbon atoms results from oxidation, and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and XPS analysis shows the changes in oxygen functional groups with nature of substrate. Moreover, the photoluminescent (PL) peak emission wavelength varies with substrate and the broad energy level distribution produces excitation dependent PL emission in a broad wavelength ranging from 400 to 650 nm. The structural and optical properties of oxygen plasma treated GO films for possible optoelectronic applications were also investigated using various characterization techniques. HRTEM and electron diffraction analysis confirmed that the oxygen plasma treatment results short range order crystallization in GO films with an increase in interplanar spacing, which can be attributed to the presence of oxygen functional groups. In addition, Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and Raman spectroscopy confirms the presence of the $sp^2$ and $sp^3$ hybridization due to the disordered crystal structures of the carbon atoms results from oxidation and XPS analysis shows that epoxy pairs convert to more stable C=O and O-C=O groups with oxygen plasma treatment. The broad energy level distribution resulting from the broad size distribution of the $sp^2$ clusters produces excitation dependent PL emission in a broad wavelength range from 400 to 650 nm. Our results suggest that substrate influenced, or oxygen treatment GO has higher potential for future optoelectronic devices by its various optical properties and visible PL emission.
