The peroxo-polytungstic acid was formed by the direct reaction of tungsten powder with the hydrogen peroxide solution. Peroxo-polytungstic powder were prepared by rotary evaporator using the fabricated on to ITO coated glass as substrate by dip-coating method using $2g/10mL(W-IPA/H_2O)$ sol solution. A substrate was dipped into the sol solution and after a meniscus had settled, the substrate was withdrawn at a constant rate of the 3mm/sec. Thicker layer could be built up by repeated dipping/post-treatment 15 times cycles. The layers dried at the temperature of $65{\sim}70^{\circ}C$ during the withdrawn process, and then tungsten oxides thin film was formed by final heating treatment at the temperature of $230{\sim}240^{\circ}C$ for 30min. A linear rotation between the thickness of thin film and the number of dipping/post-treatment cycles for tungsten oxides thin films made by dip-coating was found. The thickness of thin film had $60{\AA}$ after one dipping. From the patterns of XRD, the structure of tungsten oxides thin film identified as amorphous one and from the photographs of SEM, the defects and the moderate cracks were observed on the tungsten oxides thin film, but the homogeneous surface of thin films were mostly appeared. The electrochemical characteristic of the $ITO/WO_3$ thin film electrode were confirmed by the cyclic voltammetry and the cathodic Tafel polaization method. The coloring bleaching processes were clearly repeated up to several hundreds cycles by multiple cyclic voltammetry, but the dissolved phenomenon of thin film revealed in $H_2SO_4$ solution was observed due to the decrease of the current densities. The diffusion coefficient was calculated from irreversible Randles-Sevick equation from the data obtained by the cyclic voltammetry with various scan rates.

In this paper, theS $r_2$(T $a_{1-x}$ , N $b_{x}$)$_2$ $O_{7}$(STNO) films among ferroelectric materials having a low dielectric constant for metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor field effect transistor(MFS-FET) were discussed. The STNO thin films were deposited on p-type Si(100) at room temperature by co-sputtering with S $r_2$N $b_2$ $O_{7(SNO)}$ ceramic target and T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ ceramic target. The composition of STNO thin films was varied by adjusting the power ratios of SNO target and T $a_2$ $O_{5}$ target. The STNO films were annealed at 8$50^{\circ}C$, 90$0^{\circ}C$ and 9$50^{\circ}C$ temperature in oxygen ambient for 1 hour. The value of x has significantly influenced the structure and electrical properties of the STNO films. In the case of x= 0.4, the crystallinity of the STNO films annealed at 9$50^{\circ}C$ was observed well and the memory windows of the Pt/STNO/Si structure were 0.5-8.3 V at applied voltage of 3-9 V and leakage current density was 7.9$\times$10$_{08}$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at applied voltage of -5V.of -5V.V.V.

Micro gas sensors including thin film catal) tic type require stress-free memhrancs for etch stop of Si anisotropic etching and sublayer of sensing elements hecause stress is one of the main factors affecting breakdown of thin membranes. This paper reports the effects of deposition conditions on stress and refractive index of $SiN_{x}/SiO_{x}/(NON)$ films deposited by low pressure c11ernic;rl vapor deposition(L, t'CVI)) 2nd reactve sputtering. In the case of I.PCVI1, the stresses of $SiN_{x}$ and NON films arc $7.6{\times}10^{8}dyne/cm^2$ and $3.3{\times}10^{8}dyne/cm^2$, respectibely, and the refractive indices are 3.05 and 152, respectively. In the cxse oi the sputtered SiN, , compressi\e stress decreased in magnitude and then turned to tensility as increasing proc, ess pressure by lmtorr to 30mtorr and cicreasmg applied power density by $2.74W/cm^2$ to $1.10W/cm^2$. The hest value of film stress obt;~ined under condition of lOmtorr and $1.37W/cm^2$ in this' experiment was $1.2{\times}10^{9}dyne/cm^2$ cnnipressive. The refr~ict~ve index decreased from 2 05 to 1 89 as decreasing applied power density by lnitorr to 3Orntorr and increasing process pressure hy $2.74W/cm^2$ to $1.10W/cm^2$. Stresses of films deposited by both LPCVL) and sputtering decreased as incre;lsing temperature and showed plastic behavior as decreasing temperature.

In this paper, the a-Diamond films were synthesized using filtered vacuum arc source (FVAS), FVAS was composed of a torus structure with bending angle of 60 degree. The radius of torus was 266 mm, the radius of plasma duct was 80 mm and the total length was 600 mm. The magnet parts were composed of one permanent magnet and five solenoid magnets. The plasma duct was electrically isolated from the ground so that a bias voltage could be applied. The baffles inside plasma duct were installed in order to prevent the recoil effect of macro-particles. Cathode was made of graphite with 80 mm in diameter. The effects of solenoid magnet on plasma extraction were investigated by computer simulation and experiment using Taguchi's methode. The source and extraction magnet affected the arc stabilization. The extraction beam current was maximized with low value of the source magnet current and high value of the filtering magnet current. The beam current density was 3.2 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and average deposition rate was 5 $\AA$/sec when the currents of arc discharge, source, extraction, bending, deflection and outlet magnet were 30 A, 1 A, 3 A, 5 A, 5 A, and 5 A, respectively. The beam current density and the efficiency of beam transportation were increased with the positive bias voltage of the plasma duct.

We have succeeded in synthesizing vertically aligned thin multi-walled carbon nanotubes (VA thin-MWCNTs) by a catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) method onto Fe/Al thin film deposited on a Si wafers using an optimum amount of hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) additive. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed that the as-synthesized CNT arrays were vertically well-oriented perpendicular to the substrate with relatively uniform length. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations indicated that the as-grown CNTs were nearly catalyst-free thin-MWCNTs with small outer diameters of less than 10nm. The average wall number is about 5. We suggested a possible growth mechanism of the VA thin-MWCNT arrays. The VA thin-MWCNTs showed a low turn-on electric field of about $1.1\;V/{\mu}m$ at a current density of $0.1\;{\mu}A/cm^2$ and a high emission current density about $2.5\;mA/cm^2$ at a bias field of $2.7\;V/{\mu}m$. Moreover, the VA thin-MWCNTs presented better field emission stability without degradation over 20 hours (h) at the emission current density of about $1\;mA/cm^2$.

유기 발광 다이오우드는(OLEDs) 자체 발광 소자로써 높은 시야각, 높은 효율, 그리고 빠른 응답속도 등의 장점을 가지고 있어 차세대 디스플레이 및 조명 소자로서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 유기 발광 다이오우드는 차세대 반도체 조명 소자로서 조명의 패러다임을 바꿀 수 있는 기술로 인식되고 있다. 하지만, 유기 발광 다이오우드 조명의 상용화를 위해서는 가격 경쟁력을 갖추는 것이 시급하며, 이를 위해 저가 공정 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 유기발광 다이오우드 조명 제작에 필수적인 전면 전극 및 절연막 증착 공정을 기존의 노광 공정이 아닌 shadow mask 기술을 적용하여 형성하였다. 먼저 유리 기판 상에 150 nm 두께의 ITO 막을 shadow mask를 이용하여 증착하였다. 기존 공정에서는 노광 및 식각 공정을 이용하여 증착하는 것이 일반적이며, 광학적, 전기적 특성 또한 타 공정 방법에 비해 우수하다. 하지만 일련의 복잡한 공정으로 인해 제조 원가를 상승 시키는 단점이 있다. Fig. 1은 shadow mask를 이용하여 ITO를 증착을 수행한 공정의 모식도이다. ITO 박막 증착 후 표면 거칠기 제어 및 면저항 제어를 위해 O2 plasma 처리와 RTA 공정을 추가 수행하였다. Fig. 2(a)는 플라즈마 처리 및 열처리 공정 수행 후에 측정한 표면 AFM 사진이다. 열처리 및 플라즈마 처리 후에 ITO 박막의 표면 거칠기는 10배 이상 향상되었으며, 이는 유기 발광 다이오우드 조명 소자의 전면 투명 전극으로 사용되기에 적합한 값이다. 또한 전기적 특성 중 하나인 면저항 값은 열처리 및 플라즈마 처리 전/후의 값에서 많은 차이를 보인다. 표면 거칠기가 향상됨에 따라 면저항 값 역시 향상되는 결과를 보여주는데, 표면 처리전후의 면저항 값은 각각 28.17, 13.18 ${\Omega}/{\Box}$이다. 일반적으로 유기 발광 다이오우드의 전면 투명 전극으로 사용되기 위해서는 15 ${\Omega}/{\Box}$이하의 면저항 값이 필요한데, 표면 처리 후의 면저항값들은 이로한 조건을 만족한다. Fig. 3은 shadow mask 기술을 이용하여 절연막까지 형성한 유기 발광 다이오우드 소자의 전자 현미경 사진으로, 기존의 공정을 이용한 경우와 큰 차이는 없으며, 다만 shadow tail이 약 $30{\mu}m$ 정도 발생함을 확인할 수 있다. 절연막의 특성 평가 기준인 누설 전류 밀도는 $10-5A/cm^2$으로 기존의 공정을 이용한 경우에 비해 95% 수준으로서 shadow mask를 이용한 공정이 기존의 노광 및 식각 공정을 이용한 경우에 비해 공정 수는 9개가 단축됨에도 불구하고, 각 증착 박막의 특성에는 큰 차이가 없음을 알 수 있다.

Dense and periodic arrays of nano-sized holes were patterned in oxide thin film on GaAs substrate. To obtain the nano-size patterns, self-assembling diblock copolymer was used to produce thin film of uniformly distributed parallel cylinders of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) in polystyrene (PS) matrix. The PMMA cylinders were removed with UV expose and acetic acid rinse to produce PS nanotemplate. By reactive ion etching, pattern of the PS template was transferred to under laid silicon oxide layer. Transferred patterns were reached to the GaAs substrate by controlling the dry etching time. We confirmed the achievement of etching through the removing oxide layer and observation of GaAs substrate surface. Optimized etching time was 90 to 100 sec. Pore sizes of the nanopattern in the silicon oxide layer were 20~22 nm.

The electrical properties due to mixture ratio of linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE) and ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA) films are studied. An experimental specimen is selected as LLDPE/EVA of thickness 200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ produced by mixture ratio of 50 : 50, 60 : 40, 70 : 30 and 80 : 2 wt%. In temperature range from $25^{\circ}C$ to 12$0^{\circ}C$, the measurement of volume resistivity using a highmegohm meter is performed within 10 minutes since each voltage of DC 100 V, 250 V, 500 V and 1000 V is applied, according to the step voltage method. From FT-IR spectrum for an analysis of physical properties, it can be confirmed that LLDPE blended with EVA shows an absence of carbonyl groups(1735 $cm^{-1}$, C=0) and ether groups(1242 $cm^{-1}$, C-O). The peak of LLDPE and EVA made of mixture ratio of 70 : 30 at 2$\theta$ =21.4$^{\circ}$ in the results of XRD is higher than the others. In the experiment for volume resistivity characteristics in order to investigate the electrical properties of specimen, it is confirmed that volume resistivity is decreased with the increase of the molecular motion and temperature.

[ $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ ] films have been prepared on $LaAlO_3$ (100) single-crystal substrates by the metal organic deposition using dichloroacetate precursors (DCA-MOD). DCA precursor solutions with different composition such as; Yttrium-excess(15 at%), barium-poor(25 at%), and a stoichiometric(Y:Ba:Cu=1:2:3) were prepared in order to investigate the effects of precursor composition on the properties of YBCO films prepared by DCA-MOD method. Coated films were calcined at low temperature up to $500^{\circ}C$ in flowing humid oxygen atmosphere. Conversion heat treatment was performed $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in flowing Ar gas containing 1000 ppm oxygen with a humidity of 9.45%. For the film prepared using excess yttrium composition, high critical current density ($J_c$) of $>2MA/cm^2$ was obtained whereas, for the films prepared using barium-poor composition, $J_c$ was lower than $1MA/cm^2$.

For experiment, we made the electro chemical display element with the NESA glass of display electrode which had low resistance. Density of injection charge, optical density and response characteristics were observed through coloring and achromatizing phemomena in the display element As optical electric chemical reaction was occured in $WO_3$ and cell, it was possible to repeat colouring and achromatizing, and the colouring characteristics was good. And the higher colouring and achromatizing voltage, the lower resistance of electrode and the thinner $WO_3$film was, the better response characteristics. With analyzing phenomena of electro chromism, we could find the possibility of practical use of the coloring and achromatizing element for clock, instrument and guide plate.
