The fabricated La-modified lead titanate (PLT) thin flim without paling treatment was investigated for modulation frequency dependence of pyroelectric properties by the dynamic method. $Pb_{1-x}La_{x}Ti_{1-x/4}O_{3}$ PLT (x=0.1) thin film having 10 mol% La content was deposited on a $Pt/TiO_{x}/SiO_{2}/Si$ substrate by sol-gel method. The PLT(10) thin film exhibits a relatively excellent dielectric property. The pyroelectric coefficient (p) of the PLT(10) thin film is $6.6{\times}10^{-9}C/cm_{2}\cdot K$ without frequency dependence. The figure of merits for the voltage responsivity and specific detectivity are $1.03{\times}10^{-11}C\cdot cm/J$ and $1.46\times 10^{-9}C\cdot cm/J$, respectively. The PLT(10) thin film has voltage responsivity (Rv) of 5.15 V/W at 8 Hz. Noise equivalent power (NEP) and specific detectivity (D*) of the PLT(10) thin film are$9.93{\times}10^{-8}W/Hz^{1/2}$ and $1.81\times 10^{6}cmHz^{1/2}/W$ at the same frequency of 100 Hz, respectively. The results means that PLT thin film having 10 mol % La content is suitable for the sensing materials of pyroelectric IR sensors.

We has been studied the thin film encapsulation effect for organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). To evaluate the passivation properties of the passivation layer materials, we have carried out the fabrication of green light emitting diodes with ultra violet(UV) light absorbing polymer resin, $SiO_2,\;and\;SiN_x$, respectively. From the measurement results of shrinkage properties according to the exposure time to the atmosphere, we found that $SiN_x$ thin film is the best material for passivation layer. We have investigated the emission efficiency and life time of OLED device using the package structure of $OLED/SiN_x/polymer$ resin/Al/polymer resin. The emission efficiency of this OLED device was 13 lm/W and life time was about 2,000 hours, which reach 95 % of the performance for the OLED encapsulated with metal.

We prepared the PLT(28) thin film by using sol-gel method and investigated the structure and electrical properties of the film. With the XRD and AFM analyses, it is found that PLT(28) thin film annealed at 6sot has a complete perovskite structure and its surface roughness is about 22$\AA$. We prepared PLT(28) thin film on the Pt/TiO$_{x}$SiO$_2$/Si substrate, in which the specimen has a planar capacitor structure, and analyzed the electrical properties of PLT(28) thin film. In result, PLT(28) thin film has a paraelectric phase and its dielectric constant and loss tangent at 10kHz are 761 and 0.024, respectively. Also, the storage charge density and leakage current density of PLT(28) thin film at W are 134fC/$\mu$m2 and 1.01 $\mu$A/cm2, respectively. As a result of this, we concluded that the PLT(28) thin film is a promising material to be used as a capacitor dielectrics for next generation DRAM.M.

$Ti_xSi_{1-x}O_y$ (TSO) thin films are fabricated using plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition. The Ti content in the TSO films is controlled by adjusting the sub-cycle ratio of $TiO_2$ and $SiO_2$. The refractive indices of $SiO_2$ and $TiO_2$ are 1.4 and 2.4, respectively. Hence, tailoring of the refractivity indices from 1.4 to 2.4 is feasible. The controllability of the refractive index and film thickness enables application of an antireflection coating layer to TSO films for use as a thin film solar cell. The TSO coating layer on an Si wafer dramatically reduces reflectivity compared to a bare Si wafer. In the measurement of the current-voltage characteristics, a nonlinear coefficient of 13.6 is obtained in the TSO films.

ZnO-Si-ZnO multi-layer thin films have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). And then, the films have been annealed at 300$^{\circ}C$ in oxygen ambient pressure. Peak positions of ultraviolet (UV) and visible region were changed by addition of Si layer. Mobility of the films was improved slightly than ZnO thin film without Si layer. The structural property changed by inserting intermediate Si layer in ZnO thin film. The optical properties and structural properties of ZnO-Si-ZnO multi-layer thin films were characterized by PL(Photoluminescence) and XRB(X-ray diffraction) method, respectively. Electrical properties were measured by van der Pauw Hall measurements

Ferroelectric thin film is a very attractive material for the tunable microwave device applications such as electronically tunable mixers, delay lines, filters and phase shifters. Thin films of $Pb_{x}Sr_{1-x}TiO3(PST)$ were fabricated onto Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by the sol-gel method. We have investigated the structural and dielectric properties of PST(50/50) thin films for tunable microwave device applications. The PST thin films show typical polycrystalline structure with a dense microstructure without secondary phase formation. Dielectric properties of PST films are strongly dependent on annealing temperature. The dielectric constants, loss and tunability of the PST (50/50) thin films were 404, 0.023 and 51.73 %, respectively.

The$(Sr_{1-x}Ca_x)TiO_3$(SCT) thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode $(Pt-TiN /SiO_2Si)$ using RF sputtering method at various deposition temperature. The crystallinity of thin films was increased with increased of deposition temperature n the temperature range of 200~500 $[^{\circ}C]$. The capacitance changes almost linearly in temperature ranges of -80~+90$[^{\circ}C]$. All SCT thin films used in the study the phenomena of dielectric relaxation with the increase of frequency, and the relaxation frequency is observed above 200[kHz]. V-I characteristics of SCT thin films show the increasing leakage current with the increases of deposition temperature.

Polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film transistors (TFTs) might be fabricated on the mica substrate and transferred to a flexible plastic substrate because mica can be easily cleaved into a thin layer. To overcome the adhesion and stress problem between poly-Si film and mica substrate, a buffer layer consisting of $SiO_x/Ta/Ti$ three layers has been developed. The $SiO_x$ layer is for electrical isolation, the Ti layer is for adhesion of $SiO_{x}$ and mica. and Ta is for stress relief between $SiO_x$ and Ti. A TFT was fabricated on the mica substrate by a conventional Si process and was successfully transferred to a plastic substrate.

Thin films of Bi4-xSmxTi3O12(0$\leq$x$\leq$2) were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) at $700^{\circ}C$ using spin-coating with sols derived from Bi-Sm-Ti complex alkoxides. From X-ray diffraction analysis, it was observed that Sm-substituted phases resembled ferroelectric Bi4Ti3O12 in structure. Variations of their lattice parameters depending on the amount of Sm-substitution showed that an anomalous structural distortion might exist at x=1. The grain sizes of the thin films decreased from 0.115 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 0.078${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with increasing the amount of Sm-substitution. The dielectric constants and the remanent polarizations of the thin films decreased with increasing the amount of the Sm-substitution, which were related to decrease of the stereo-active Bi3+ ion contributing to polarization. However, these values were exceptionally high at x=1, compared to those of the other substituted phases. Such an anomaly suggests that the phase of x=1 has 1:1 chemical ordering between Sm and Bi in structure. The thin films of all compositions except x=2 showed ferroelectricity. The thin film of x=2 was paraelectric, whose grains were too fine to exhibit ferroelectricity.

We have fabricated silicon-rich silica thin films via RF magnetron sputtering using a SiO target. Thickness evolution and microstructure change of such $SiO_x$ (1$SiO_x$ thin films turned out to be mainly responsible for the increase of refractive index.
