The thin films of high pemitivity in ferroelectric materials using a capacitor are applied to DRAMs and FRAMs. (Ba, Sr)$TiO_3$ thin films as ferroelectric materials were prepared by the sol-gel method and made by spin-coating on the Pt/Ti/$SiO_2/Si$ substrate at 4,000 [rpm] for 10 seconds. The devices of BST thin films to composite $(Ba_{0.7},Sr_{0.3})TiO_3$ were fabricated by changing of the depositing layer number on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate. The thin film capacitor to be ferroelectric devices was investigated by structural and electrical properties. The thickness of BST thin films at each coating numbers 3, 4 and 5 times was $2500[\AA]$, $3500[\AA]$, $3800[\AA]$. The dielectric factor of thin film when the coating numbers were 3, 4 and 5 times was 190, 400 and 460 on frequency l[MHz]. The dielectric loss of BST thin film was linearly increased by increasing of the specimen area.

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are regarded as potential inexpensive alternatives to conventional solid-state devices. The flexible version, employing conductive-plastic-film substrates, is appealing for commercialization of DSSCs because it not only reduces the weight and cost of the device but also extends their applications. However, the need for high temperature does not permit the use of plastic-film substrate. So, development of low-temperature methods is therefore realization of flexible DSSCs. In this work, the electrophoretic deposition combined with hydrothermal treatment was employed to prepare nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ thin film at low temperature. We confirmed the prepared $TiO_2$ thin films with different voltages and deposition times in the electrophoretic deposition process. Properties of the $TiO_2$ films were investigated by various analysis method such as X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and UV-visible spectrophotometer.

The fabricated La-modified lead titanate (PLT) thin film without poling treatment was investigated for modulation frequency dependence of pyroelectric properties by the dynamic method. $Pb_{l-x}La_{x}Ti_{l-x/4}O_3$(x=0.1) (PLT(10)) thin film haying 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 x $10^{-9}C$$textrm{cm}^2$$.$K without frequency dependence. The figure of merits for the voltage responsivity and specific detectivity are 1.03 x $10^{-11}C$.cm/J and 1.46 x $10^{-10}C$.cm/J, respectively The PLT(10) thin film has voltage responsivity (RV) of 5.IS V/W at 8 Hz. Noise equivalent power (NEP) and specific detectivity ($D^{*}$) of the PLT(10) thin film are 9.93 x $10^{-8}$W/$Hz^{1/2}$ and 1.81 x $10^{6}$cm.$Hz^{1/2}$/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.

TiO2 thin films with the substitution of oxygen with nitrogen were deposited on silicon substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using Ti(OCH(CH3)2)4 (titanium tetraisopropoxide, TTIP) and N2O as source materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that the crystal structure of the deposited thin films was anatase TiO2 with only (101) plane observed at the deposition temperatures of 36$0^{\circ}C$ and 38$0^{\circ}C$, and with (101) and (200) plane at above 40$0^{\circ}C$. Raman spectroscopic results indicated that the crystal structure was anatase TiO2 in accordance with the XRD results without any rutile, fcc TiN, or hcp TiN structure. No fundamental difference was observed with temperature increase, but the peak intensity at 194.5 cm-1 increased with strong intensity at 143.0 cm-1 for all samples. The crystalline size of the films varied from 49.2 nm to 63.9 nm with increasing temperature as determined by slow-scan XRD experiments. The refractive index of the films increased from 2.40 to 2.55 as temperature increased. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study showed only Ti 2s, Ti 2p, C 1s, O 1s and O 2s peaks at the surface of the film. The composition of the surface was estimated to be TiO1.98 from the quatitative analysis. In the bulk of the film Ti 2s, Ti 2p, O 1s, O 2s, N 1s and N 2s were detected, and Ti-N bonding was observed due to the substitution of oxygen with nitrogen. A satellite structure was observed in the Ti 2p due to the Ti-N bonding, and the composition of titanium nitride was determined to be about TiN1.0 from the position of the binding energy of Ti-N 2p3/2 and the quatitative analysis. The spectrum of Ti 2p energy level could be the sum of a 4, 5, or 6 Gaussian curve reconstruction, and the case of the sum of the 6 Gaussian curve reconstruction was physically most meaningful. From the results of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), it was known that the composition was not varied significantly throughout the whole thickness of the film, and silicon oxide was not observed at the interface between the film and the substrate. The composition of the film was possible (TiO2)1-x.(TiN)x or TiO2-2xNx and in this experimental condition x was found to be about 0.21-0.16.

As an alternative energy, Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have received much attention due to low cost manufacturing procedure and high energy consumption rate. Incorporating scattering centers in the nanocrystalline photoanode or additional scattering layers on the nanocrystalline photoanode is an effective way to enhance the light harvest efficiency of the photoanode and the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The light scattering abilities of these scattering layers also depend on the relative sizes and phase of the particles in the layers. A higher surface area is normally obtained using large particle sizes. Therefore, transparent high surface area $TiO_2$ layers and an additional scattering layer consisting of $TiO_2$-Rutile 500 nm paste with relatively larger particles are attractive. In this work, we investigates the applicability of a hybrid $TiO_2$ electrode (or a working electrode with a light scattering layer) in a DSSCs. We fabrication various thin film using $TiO_2$ paste 20 nm and $TiO_2$ paste 500 nm. As a result, the efficiency of the a single structure thin film was 3.35% and the efficiency as scattering layer of hybrid structure thin film was 4.36%, 4.73%.

In this paper, for enhancement of property on a-Si:H TFTs We measure interface characteristics of ferroelectrics thin film and a-Si:H thin film. First, SrTiO$_3$ thin film is deposited bye-beam evaporation. Deposited films are annealed for 1 hour in N2 ambient at 150$^{\circ}C$ ∼ 600$^{\circ}C$. Dielectric characteristics of deposited SrTiO$_3$ films are very good because dielectric constant shows 50∼100 and breakdown electric field are 1∼1.5MV/cm. a-SiN:H,a-Si:H(n-type a-Si:H) are deposited onto SrTiO$_3$ film to make MFNS(Metal/ferroelectric/a-SiN:H/a-Si:H) by PECVD. After the C-V measurement for interface characteristics, MFNS structure shows no difference with MNS(Metal/a-SiN:H/a-Si:H) structure in C-V characteristics but the insulator capacitance value of MFNS structure is much higher than the MNS because of high dielectric constant of ferroelectrics.

There has been numerous reports for the synthesis of mesoporous $TiO_2$ thin films due to not only the high surface area and regular mesoscale pores but also wide band gap and photo activity. However, the synthesis has been restricted by the limited reproducibility mainly due to the extraordinarily fast hydrolysis and condensation rate of titania precursors. In this report, molar composition of reaction batch (HCl/Ti and Ti/P123) and exterior condition (humidity and temperature) during coating and anealing process. Thereafter, the mesoporous $TiO_2$ thin films were characterized by XRD and TEM

Abstract The PZT thin film was deposited by usin. RF magnetron sputtering with PZT(52/48) target. The formation of perovskite structure PZT thin film started at 55$0^{\circ}C$ on Si substrate. The AES results showed an oxide layer formed at the between Si and PZT film during the annealing. And, Ti$O_2$ layer appeared at the between TiN and PZT film for the annealing. But, the perovskite phase PZT film was formed after the annealing on the Si$O_2$/Si substarte. The ratio in PZT film was constant across the asdeposited PZT film, but, Pb have diffused into the Si substrate and Si have out-diffused into PZT layer during the post annealing at 75$0^{\circ}C$. The dielectric constants of PZT film indicated about 1300( thickness: 1500$\AA$, at 10KHz) but, the cracks were appeared to surface for annealing.
