Oxide semiconductor, represented by a-IGZO, has been commercialized in the market as active layer of TFTs of display backplanes due to its various advantages over a-Si. a-IGZO can be deposited at room temperature by RF magnetron sputtering process; however, additional thermal annealing above 300℃ is required to obtain good semiconducting properties and stability. These temperature are too high for common flexible substrates like PET, PEN, and PI. In this work, effects of microwave annealing time on IGZO thin film and associated thin-film transistors are demonstrated. As the microwave annealing time increases, the electrical properties of a-IGZO TFT improve to a degree similar to that during thermal annealing. Optimal microwave annealed IGZO TFT exhibits mobility, SS, V_th, and V_H of 6.45 ㎠/Vs, 0.17 V/dec, 1.53 V, and 0.47 V, respectively. PBS and NBS stability tests confirm that microwave annealing can effectively improve the interface between the dielectric and the active layer.

The ring gears of automobile parts are manufactured generally process chart of which is as follows : forging ${\rightarrow}$ annealing or normalizing ${\rightarrow}$ rough machining ${\rightarrow}$ hardening(Quenching-Tempering or carburizing process) ${\rightarrow}$ finish machining. Isothermal annealing process after forging is most effective in the side of improvment of machinability. On this study we selected two kinds of steel;SCM415, SCM435 of most universal and investigated microstructures to find out most suitable condition of heat treatment in proportion continuous cooling and isothermal annealing. As the cooling rate is $5^{\circ}C$ per minute in continuous cooling process, martensite and bainite are coexisted with ferrite and pearlite in SCM435 steel. If the cooling rate is slower than $5^{\circ}C$ per minute, microstructure were only ferrite and pearlite but formation of band structure can't be avoid. On the other hand, microstructure is only ferrite and pearlite regardless of cooling rate because carbon content of SCM415 steel is low. Moreover formation of band structure isn't exposed by faster cooling rate. Most optimal temperature of the isothermal annealing is from $650^{\circ}C$ to $680^{\circ}C$ in SCM435 steel. When holding time is 60 minute with $650^{\circ}C$, the identical ferrite and pearlite microstructures can be obtained.

The effects of the grain size on the magnetic properties in extra-low carbon steel after strain annealing were investigated. Two kinds of sample were prepared. One is the annealed sheet, which was annealed at $670^{\circ}C$ and $850^{\circ}C$ for various time periods after cold rolling. The other is the strain annealed sheet, which was temper rolled by 0.4% and subsequently strain annealed at the temperature ranging between $670^{\circ}C$ and $850^{\circ}C$ for various time periods. The grains after strain annealing became more coarse than those after primary annealing. The grains were coarsened due to the strain induced grain boundary migration (SIGM). It was found that the permeability tended to be increased and coercivity tended to be decreased with the increase of grain size. The optimum magnetic properties was achieved after strain annealing at $850^{\circ}C$ for 30 minites. Under this condition, the coercivity was measured to be 0.6 and the permeability was measured up to be 13000.

Polymer Light Emitting Diodes (PLEDs) with an ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/PFO-poss/LiF/Al structure were prepared on plasma-treated ITO/glass substrates using spin-coating and thermal evaporation methods. The annealing effects of the PFO-poss film when it acts as the emission layer were investigated by using electrical and optical property measurements. The annealing conditions of the PFO-poss emission film were 100 and $200^{\circ}C$ for 1, 2 and 3 hours, respectively. The luminance increased and the turn-on voltage decreased when the annealing temperature and treatment time increased. After examining the Luminance-Voltage (L-V) properties of the PLED, the maximum luminance was found to be 1497 cd/$m^2$ at 11 V for the device when it was annealed at $200^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The peak intensity of the PLED emission spectra at approximately 525 nm in wavelength increased when the annealing temperature and time of the PFO-poss film increased. These results suggest that the light emission color shifted from blue to green.

Silver nanoparticles were formed on silica substrates through thin film dewetting at high temperature. The microstructural and morphological evolution of the particles were characterized as a function of processing variables such as initial film thickness, annealing time, and temperature. Silver thin films were deposited onto the silica using a pulsed laser deposition system and annealed in reducing atmosphere to induce agglomeration of the films. The film thicknesses before dewetting were in the range of 5 to 25 nm. A noticeable agglomeration occurs with annealing at temperatures higher than $300^{\circ}C$, and higher annealing temperature increases particle size uniformity for the same film thickness sample. Average particle size linearly correlates to the film thickness, but it does not strongly depend on annealing temperature and time, although threshold temperature for complete dewetting increases with an increase of film thickness. Lower annealing temperature develops faceted surface morphology of the silver particles by enhancing the growth of the low index crystal plane of the particles.

As demand for various kinds and small lot products has been increasing, batch annealing has been appreciated for its small restiction for the opteration. The cold spot of the coil is very important in the BAF(Batch annealing furnace) annealing process. Because of the annealing cycle time in the BAF, annealing was decided on the cold spot of the coil. So, we tested the effect,variation of cold spot, for hydrogen contents of atmospheric gas at the annealing furnace. As a result of several investigations. We confirmed the following characteristics ; after the heating and soaking,the cold spot of coil moved to 1/3 of coil thickness in the NHx atmospheric gas, but the mid point of the coil thickness is the cold spot in the Ax or .H/sub2. atmospheric gas. Therefore, the use of hydrogen instead of nitrogen as the protective gas,combined with high convection in batch annealing furnaces, has shown that considerable increases in furnace output and material quality are attainable. Owing to the low density, high diffusion and reducing character of hydrogen, a better transfer resulting in uniform material temperatures and improved coil surfaces can be achieved.

질소 분위기하에서 분자선 에피탁시 장치로 성장한 GaN 에피층을 고온 열처리 하였다. 시료는 적절한 조건하에서 급속 열처리 후 구조적인 특성의 향상을 나타내었다. 시료의 결정성의 향상은 에피층의 격자 관련 요소들의 흐트러짐의 감소에 기인한다. 에피층의 열처리는 950도의 급속 열처리로를 이용하여 수행하였다. 고온 급속 열처리가 GaN 에피층의 구조적인 특성들에 미치는 효과는 x선 회절을 통하여 연구하였다. x선 회절 스펙트럼에 있어서 Bragg 피크는 열처리 시간이 증가할수록 각도가 큰 쪽으로 이동하였다. 또한 피크의 FWHM은 열처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 약간의 증가 후 감소하였으며 이후 다시 증가하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 급속 고온 열처리된 GaN 에피층에서 격자 상수에 영향을 미치는 인자들이 에피층의 품질을 좋게 하는 방향으로 일률적으로 변화하는 것이 아니라 에피 품질을 나쁘게 하는 방향으로도 변화한다는 것을 의미한다. 적절한 조건 하에서의 급속 열처리는 에피층의 격자 상수에 관여하는 인자들의 흐트러짐을 감소시켜 에피 결정의 질을 향상시킨다.

Co계 비정질 강자성 합금을 1 Oe 이하의 작은 자장 중에서 큐리 온도 이하로 열처리하면 재현성 있는 비대칭 자기이력곡선이 얻을 수 있다는 사실이 보고된 바 있다. 열처 리시 자장의 방향을 (+)라고 하면 (+)에서 (-)에로의 자화반전은 단 한 번의 비가역적 인 Barkhausen jump에 의해서 이루어지며, (-)에서 (+)로의 자화반전은 완만하고 가역 적이다. 이때 이력곡선의 기울기는 시료의 반자장에 의해 결정된다. 이러한 현상을 비 대칭 자화반전이라 한다. 이력곡선의 모양과 재현성은 열처리시 가하는 자장의 크기, 열처리 온도와 시간, 열처리 분위기 등 열처리 조건과 합금의 조성에 따라 크게 바뀐다. 본 연구는 영자왜 조성인 (Fe/sub 0.06/Co/sub 0.94/)/sub 75/Si/sub 10/B/sub 15/ 비 정질 자성 합금을 100 mOe의 자장하에서 열처리할 때 열처리 온도와 시간이 비대칭 자 화반전에 미치는 영향에 대한 것이다. 자화 반전 효과는 비교적 높은 온도에서 짧은 시간에 생성되나 열처리 시간이 길어질수록 안정화된다.

In this study, the photo-deposition method was used to introduce Ag onto the surface of TiO₂ to synthesize an Ag-TiO₂ composite. The effects of the varying amounts of AgNO₃ precursor and annealing time periods on the Ag content in the composites, as well as their antibacterial characteristics under visible light conditions were studied. SEM analysis revealed the spherical morphology of the Ag-TiO₂ composite. Compared with TiO₂, the Ag particles were too small to be observed. An XPS analysis of the Ag-TiO₂ surface confirmed the Ag content and showed the peak intensities for elements such as Ag, Ti, O, C, and Si. The highest Ag content was observed when 33.3 wt.% of AgNO₃ and an annealing time of 6 h were employed; this was the optimum annealing time for Ti-Ag-O bonding, in that the lowest number of O bonds and the highest number of Ag bonds were confirmed by XPS analysis. Superior antibacterial properties against Bacillus and Escherichia coli, in addition to the widest inhibition zones were exhibited by the Ag-TiO₂ composite with an increased Ag content in a disk diffusion test, the bacterial reduction rate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli being 99.9%.

We observed strain evolution of P3HT crystals in P3HT:PCBM films and the effect of Al electrode on the evolution during real time annealing process. Based on simple assumptions, both relaxed lattice parameters and thermal expansion coefficient could be quantitatively determined. P3HT:PCBM films displayed tensile strain in as-prepared samples regardless of the presence of an Al layer. In the absence of Al layer, P3HT crystals showed only strain relaxation at an annealing temperature of $180^{\circ}C$. Meanwhile In the presence of an Al layer, the strain was relaxed and changed to compressive strain at around 120C annealing temperature, which indicated a tightening of the thiophene ring packing. These behaviors support the improved performance of devices fabricated by post annealing process.
