Ferroelectric $Sr_{0.7}Bi_{2.1}Ta_{2.0}O_9$ thin films with 200 nm thicknesses were deposited on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by liquid delivery MOCVD process. In these experiments, $Sr(TMHD)_2{\cdot}pmdeta,\; Bi(ph)_3$ and $Ta(O^i/Pr)_4(TMHD)$ were used as precursors, which were dissolved in n-butyl acetate and pentamethyldiethylenetriamine. Substrate temperature and reactor pressure of this experiment was $570^{\circ}C$and 5 Torr, respectively. The remanent polarization value (2Pr) of SBT thin film with annealed at $780^{\circ}C$was$7.247{\mu}C/cm^2$and$8.485 {\mu}C/cm^2$by applying 3 V and 5 V, respectively.

Paraelectric lead landthanum titanate(PLT) thin films have been prepared by a reactive dc magnetron sputtering system using a multicomponent metal target. The surface area control of each element on the target markedly facilitates the fabrication of thin films of complex ceramic compounds. A postdeposition heat-treatment was applied to all as-deposited PLT thin films at annealing temperatures up to 75$0^{\circ}C$ for crystalization. The composition of the PLT(28) thin filmannealed at $650^{\circ}C$ was: Pb, 0.73; La, 0.28; Ti, 0.88; O, 2.9. The dielectric constant and dissipation factor of the thin film(200 nm) at low filed measurements (500 Vcm-1) are 1216 and 0.018, respectively. The charge storage density using a typical Sawyer-Tower circuit with a 500 Hz sine wave was 12.5 $\mu$Ccm-2 at the electric field of 200 kVcm-1.

The $SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$ thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode(Pt/$TiO_2/SiO_2$/Si) using RF magnetron sputtering method. The ferroelectric properties of SBT capacitors with annealing temperatures were studied. Through the x-ray diffraction analysis and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it could be observed that crystallization of the SBT thin film started around $650^{\circ}C$ and complete crystallization was accomplished around $750^{\circ}C$ and grains grew from a small spheric form to rod-like. For the leakage current density of the SBT capacitor depending upon various annealing atmospheres, capacitor annealed in the oxygen atmosphere showed the most excellent characteristic, and they were respectively about $2.13\times10^{-9}[A/cm^2]$ at 5V and 340.

TiNi shape memory alloy(SMA) was fabricated by PLD(plused laser deposition) using equiatomic TiNi target. Composition and crystallization of TiNi thin films which were fabricated in ambient Ar gas(200m Torr)and vacuum($5{\times}10^{-6}\;Torr$) were investigated. Composition of TiNi thin films was characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXS) and crystallization was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The composition of films depends on the distance between target and substrate but does not sensitively depend on the substrate temperature. It is found that the composition of films can be easily controlled when substrate is placed inside plume in ambient Ar gas. It is also found that the in situ crystallization temperature ($ca.\;400^{\circ}C$) in ambient Ar gas is lowered in comparison with that of TiNi film prepared under vacuum. The low crystallization temperature in ambient Ar gas makes it possible to prepare the crystalline TiNi thin film without contamination.

A spin coating process for RRAM, which is a TiN/TiO₂/FTO structure based on a PTC sol solution, was developed in this laboratory, a method which enables low-temperature and eco-friendly manufacturing. The RRAM corresponds to an OxRAM that operates through the formation and extinction of conductive filaments. Heat treatment was selected as a method of controlling oxygen vacancy (V_O), a major factor of the conductive filament. It was carried out at 100 ℃ under moisture removal conditions and at 300 ℃ and 500 ℃ for excellent phase stability. XRD analysis confirmed the anatase phase in the thin film increased as the heat treatment increased, and the Ti³⁺ and OH- groups were observed to decrease in the XPS analysis. In the I-V analysis, the device at 100 ℃ showed a low primary SET voltage of 5.1 V and a high ON/OFF ratio of 10⁴. The double-logarithmic plot of the I-V curve confirmed the device at 100 ℃ required a low operating voltage. As a result, the 100 ℃ heat treatment conditions were suitable for the low voltage driving and high ON/OFF ratio of TiN/TiO₂/FTO RRAM devices and these results suggest that the operating voltage and ON/OFF ratio required for OxRAM devices used in various fields under specific heat treatment conditions can be compromised.

We have observed the morphology of YBCO thin films grown on the SrTiO$_3$(100) substrates by the Pulsed Laser Deposition method. AFM and SEM images show that the YBCO grains grow spirally from their own seeds whereas outgrowths are considered to remain unchained as the film thickness increases. The images of various stages of film growth suggest that the outgrowths of 1000${\sim}$2000 ${AA}$ size are mainly formed at the very early stage of film growth. The results of XRD measurement clearly show that even a film of about 10 ${AA}$ thickness already forms orthorhombic YBCO structure although common superconducting resistivity behavior is known to be observed for the films with thickness above 100 ${AA}$.

A Sn-doped $In_2O_3$ (ITO) nanowire photoelectrode was produced using a simple metal evaporation method at low synthesis temperature (< $540^{\circ}C$). The nanowire electrodes have large surface area compared with that of flat ITO thin film, and show low electrical resistivity of $5.6{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$ at room temperature. In order to apply ITO nanowires to the photoelectrodes of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), those surfaces were modified by $TiO_2$ nanoparticles using a chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The conversion efficiency of the fabricated $TiO_2$/ITO nanostructure-based DSSC was obtained at 1.4%, which was increased value by a factor of 6 than one without ITO nanowires photoelectrode. This result is attributed to the large surface area and superior electrical property of the ITO nanowires photoelectrode, as well as the structural advantages, including short diffusion length of photo-induced electrons, of the fabricated $TiO_2$/ITO nanostructure-based DSSC.

The effects of substrate temperatures and annealing temperatures on the microstructures and ferroelectric properties of PbZ $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$ $O_3$(PZT) thin fims prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were investigated. For this purpose, the PZT films were deposited at various substrate temperatures (400~$600^{\circ}C$) with post annealing process in oxygen atmosphere. The single perovskite phase was formed at the deposition temperature of 500 to 55$0^{\circ}C$ without post annealing and the PZT films deposited below 50$0^{\circ}C$ formed the single phase with post annealing at $650^{\circ}C$. The grain size of the films increased and the grain boundary of the films was clearly defined as the substrate temperature increased from 400 to 55$0^{\circ}C$. The remnant polarization (Pr) and the coercive field (Ec) of the films deposited at 55$0^{\circ}C$ and annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ were 34.3 $\mu$C/c $m^2$and 60.2 kV/cm, respectively.y.y.

Using a rf-magnetron sputtering method, highly c-axis oriented La modified $PbTiO_{3}$ (PLT) ferroelectric thin films with compositions of $(Pb_{1-x}La_{x})Ti_{1-x/4}O_{3}$, where x=0.05, x=0 and x=0.15, have been obtained on (100)MgO single crystal substrate under conditions of low gas pressure. The degree of c-axis orientation of PLT films decreases with increasing gas pressure and with increasing La contant. These films were characterized by X-ray diffraction and SEM. PLT thin films of x=0.05, 0.1 and 0.15 show a low dielectric constant of 218, 246 and 361 at 1 kHz and remanent polarization(Pr) of $9{\mu}C/cm^{2}$, $8{\mu}C/cm^{2}$ and $7{\mu}C/cm^{2}$.
