Structural and optical characteristics in $SnO_2$/a-Se/Al sample by aging variation and applying constant voltage had been investigated. a-Se was varied with monoclinic structure and its surface was greatly exchanged. Its capacitance was first decreased and then increased and its photo-current, photo-voltage and photo-capacitance were increased gradually with day and applying voltage. From the results, crystallization of a-Se and dopant trap level formation had been identified. Also, it was acknowledged $SnO_2$/a-Se/Al sample is useful in photovoltaic and solid thin film cell.

Al doped ZnO (AZO) thin film was deposited by using Facing Target Sputtering (FTS) system. This work examined the properties of AZO thin film as a function of the substrate temperature. The sputtering targets were 4 inch diameter disks of AZO (ZnO : $Al_2O_3$ = 98 : 2 wt.% ). The properties of electrical, structural and optical were investigated by 4-point probe, Hall effect measurement, x-ray diffractometer (XRD), field-emitting scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and UV/VIS spectrometer. The lowest resistivity of films was $5.67{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}.cm$ and the average optical transmittance of the films was above 85% in the visible range.

Recently organic electroluminescent devices have been intensively investigated for using in full-color flat-panel display. Since the quantum efficiency of electrophosphorescent device decrease rapidly as the luminance increase, it is desirable to operate the electrophosphorescent display with active matrix rather than passive matrix. Here we report the study of driving electrophosphorescent diode with all organic thin film transistor(OTFT). The structure of electrophosphorescent diode is ITO/TPD/BCP:Ir(ppy)$_3$/BCP/Alq$_3$/Li:Al/Al. In OTFT, Polymer is used as an insulator and pentacene as an active layer. Detailed performance of the integrated device will be discussed.

Resistivity, carrier concentration and Hall mobility were investigated for electrical characteristics. Transmittance and optical band gap were investigated with Spectrophotometer in the wavelength range between 200-900 nm. As a result, ZnO thin film fabricated with rf power of 180W and thickness of 5000.angs. showed the best properties. At the best condition, the sample has resistivity of 1*10$\^$-4/.ohm.cm and transmittance of 95% in the visible range.

Al, Ga and In doped ZnO thin film were prepared by faing targets sputtering as a function of oxygen gas contents at R.T. Base pressure was $2{\times}10^{-6}torr$, and working pressure was 1mTorr. The properties of thin films on the electrical and optical properties of the deposited films were investigated by using a four-point probe (Chang-min), a Hall Effect measurement (Ecopia) and an UV/VIS spectrometer (HP). The minimum resistivities of AZO, GZO and IZO thin film were $6.5{times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}-cm],5.5{\times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}-cm]$ and $4.29{\times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}-cm]$. The average transmittance of over 80% was seen in the visible range.

Lanthanum aluminate($LaAlO_3$) film has been prepared on single crystal and metal substrates by dip coating method. Lanthanum acetate and aluminum were prepared via ligand exchange starting from lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate and aluminum nitrate hexahydrate in acetate glacial acetic acid solution after being refluxed. Coating solution was obtained by diluting the gel with methanol and 2-methoxyethanol to adjust the total cation concentration to 0.67 M. Precursor coated film was prepared by dip-coating with a speed of 25 mm/min on various substrates such as $LaAlO_3$ (001), MgO(001), $SrTiO_3$(001) single crystal, LMO/MgO/Ni-alloy. Thin films have been obtained by heat treating the precursor film at various temperatures from $600^{\circ}C{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ and various heating rate from $0.83^{\circ}C/min{\sim}1.25^{\circ}C/min$ under $Ar/O_2$ mixture containing 1000ppm oxygen. The films have been characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD analysis for the prepared film showed that $LaAlO_3$ thin films with a preferred orientation of (100) plane parallel to substrate surface were obtained at $800^{\circ}C(1.11\;^{\circ}C/min)$ on LMO/MgO/Ni-alloy substrate, but the intensity decreased with the increase of heat treatment temperature.

Recently, aqueous method has attracted lots of attention because it enables the solution-processed metal oxide thin film with high electrical properties in low temperature fabrication condition to various flexible devices. Focusing the development of aqueous route, many researchers are only focused on metal oxide materials. However, for expansive application of the aqueous-based metal oxide films, the systematic study of performance change with process variables for the development of aqueous-based metal oxide insulator film is urgently required. Here, we propose importance of process variables to achieve high electrical-performance metal oxide insulator based on the aqueous method. We found that the significant process variables including precursor solution temperature and humidity during the spincoating process strongly affect chemical, physical, and electrical properties of $AlO_x$ insulators. Through the optimization of significant variables in process, an $AlO_x$ insulator with a leakage current value approximately $10^5$ times smaller and a breakdown voltage value approximately 2-3 times greater than un-optimized $AlO_x$ was realized. Finally, by introducing the optimized $AlO_x$ insulators to solutionprocessed $InO_x$ TFTs, we successfully achieved $InO_x/AlO_x$ TFTs with remarkably high average field-effect mobility of ${\sim}52cm^2V^{-1}\;s^{-1}$ and on/off current ratio of 106 at fabrication temperature of $250^{\circ}C$.

Fe-Ni alloy thin films with about 3.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness were successfully grown on Al-killed steel substrates employing DC magnetron sputtering method, and then the4 film properties were characterized. The deposited film exhibited a fibre texture structure with the relationship of ${110}_\textrm{film}//{111}_\textrm{substrate}$. We found that the adhesion between the film and the substrate was fairly good considering no debonding behavior after the thermal cyclic test of 5,000 times from room temperature to $200^{\circ}C$. Also we found that the Fe-Ni alloy deposition induced a significant decrease of thermal expansion in the film processing, a new material system with much lower thermal expansion coefficient which can be applied more as shadow mask materials than an Al-killed steel sheet.

This detailed study of electrical, crystallographic and optical properties in Al doped ZnO thin films prepared by Facing Targets Sputtering(FTS), where strong internal magnets were contained in target holders to confine the plasma between the targets is described. Optimal transmittance and resistivity was obtained by controlling flow ratio of O$_2$gas. When the O$_2$ gas ratio of 0.25 and substrate temperature R.T., ZnO:Al thin film deposited had strongly oriented c-axis and the lower resistivity ( <10$\^$-4/ $\Omega$cm). The optical transmittance was above 80% in visible range.

Recently low resistance of bus line is required for large screen size TFT-LCD panels. As a result, lower resistance Al-alloy is currently reviewed extensively. The resistivity is required smaller than 10 $\mu$$\Omega$cm. In this paper, Al-Nd thin film were deposited on glass substrates by D.C. magnetron sputtering system under various condition. Its properties were characterized by SEM, AFM, XRD, 4-ping-probe. The optimal condition of Al-Nd was 12$0^{\circ}C$, 125W, 0.4Pa, 30sccm(Ar) and 35$0^{\circ}C$, 20min. annealing. At that condition the resistivity of Al-Nd(2wt.%) was about 4 $\mu$$\Omega$cm. The minimum contact resistance of ITO/Nd was about 110$\mu$$\Omega$cm in the condition of 30$0^{\circ}C$, Ar 30 sccm. O2.
