Electrical conductivity of $TiO_2$ thin films, deposited on $Al_2O_3$ substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), was measured by four-point probe method in a temperature range from $800^{\circ}C$ to $1025^{\circ}C$ and an oxygen partial pressure range from $2.7{\times}10^{-5}$ atm to 1 atm. In the low oxygen partial pressure region n-type conduction was dominant, but in the high oxygen partial pressure region p-type conduction behavior appeared due to substitution of Ti ions by Al ions, which were diffused from the substrate during post deposition annealing process. Electrical conductivity of the film decreases in the n-type region and increases in the p-type region as the oxygen partial pressure increases. The transition points, which show the minimum conductivity, shifted to the higher oxygen partial pressure region as the measuring temperature increased, but it shifted to lower oxygen partial pressure region with an increase in the post annealing temperature. The results were also discussed with the possible defect models.

ZnO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and then diffused by using an As source in the ampouletube. Also, the ZnO p-n homojunction was made by using As-doped ZnO thin films, and its properties were analyzed. After the As doping, the surface roughness increased, the crystal quality deteriorated, and the full width at half maximum was increased. The As-doped ZnO thin films showed typical p-type properties, and their resistivity was as low as $2.19{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$, probably because of the in-diffusion from an external As source and out-diffusion from the GaAs substrate. Also, the ZnO p-n junction displayed the typical rectification properties of a p-n junction. Therefore, the As diffusion method is effective for obtaining ZnO films with p-type properties.

High saturation magnetization (B$\_$s/) and excellent high frequency characteristics of magnetic thin films has been recognized as the most important requirement for further miniaturization and higher frequency operation in magnetic devices, such as magnetic heads and magnetic sensors. Up to now, Fe-X-N (X =Ti, Hf, and Al etc.) films with B$\_$s/ of 15 ∼ 19 kG and coercivity (H$\_$c/) of 0.5 ∼ 5.0 Oe have been successfully fabricated and proven to satisfy various requirements as a potential candidate for thin film head materials.

Silicon dioxide (SiO$_2$) layers were fabricated on Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$/Si layer structures by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). Potassium and aluminum were then coimplanted by implanting potassium ions with the energy of 100 ［keY］ and dose of 5x10$^{16}$ [cm￣$^2$］ and 1x10$^{17}$ [cm￣$^2$］ into an aluminum buffer layer on the SiO$_2$Si$_3$N4/SiO$_2$/Si structure. The pH, pNa, and pK ion sensitivities of the resulting layers were investigated and compared to those of as-deposited silicon dioxide layer. The pK-sensitivity of the silicon dioxide was enhanced by the K and Al coimplantation. On the contrary, the pH and pNa-sensitivities of the coimplanted silicon dioxides were quite lower than that of the as-deposited silicon dioxide.

Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) have wide range of application areas in transparent electrode for display devices, Transparent coating for solar energy heat mirrors, and electromagnetic wave shield. $SnO_2$ is intrinsically an n-type semiconductor due to oxygen deficiencies and has a high energy-band gap more than 3.5 eV. It is known as a transparent conducting oxide because of its low resistivity of $10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and high transmittance over 90% in visible region. In this study, co-doping effects of Al and Y on the properties of $SnO_2$ were investigated. The addition of Y in $SnO_2$ was tried to create oxygen vacancies that increase the diffusivity of oxygen ions for the densification of $SnO_2$. The addition of Al was expected to increase the electron concentration. Once, we observed solubility limit of $SnO_2$ single-doped with Al and Y. $\{(x/2)Al_2O_3+(x/2)Y_2O_3\}-SnO_2$ was used for the source of Al and Y to prevent the evaporation of $Al_2O_3$ and for the charge compensation. And we observed the valence changes of aluminium oxide because generally reported of valence changes of aluminium oxide in Tin - Aluminium binary system. The electrical properties, solubility limit, densification and microstructure of $SnO_2$ co-doped with Al and Y will be discussed.

The effect of co-sputtering condition on the structural properties of $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films grown by RF magnetron co-sputtering system was investigated for manufacturing ZnO/MgZnO structure LED. $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films were grown with ZnO and MgO target varying RF power. Structural properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The ZnO thin films have sufficient crystallinity on the high RF power. As RF power of ZnO target increased, the contents of MgO in the $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ film decreased. LED was manufactured using ZnO/MgZnO multi-layer on p-GaN/$Al_2O_3$ substrate. Threshold voltage of multi-layer LED was appeared at 8 V, and it was luminesced at wave length of 550 nm.
