A graphene electrode with a novel in-plane structure is proposed and successfully adopted for use in supercapacitor applications. The in-plane structure allows electrolyte ions to interact with all the graphene layers in the electrode, thereby maximizing the utilization of the electrochemical surface area. This novel structure contrasts with the conventional out-of-plane stacked structure of such supercapacitors. We herein compare the volumetric capacitances of in-plane- and out-of-plane-structured devices with reduced multi-layer graphene oxide films as electrodes. The in-plane-structured device exhibits a capacitance 2.5 times higher (i.e., $327F\;cm^{-3}$) than that of the out-of-plane-structured device, in addition to an energy density of $11.4mWh\;cm^{-3}$, which is higher than that of lithium-ion thin-film batteries and is the highest among in-plane-structured ultra-small graphene-based supercapacitors reported to date. Therefore, this study demonstrates the potential of in-plane-structured supercapacitors with high volumetric performances as ultra-small energy storage devices.

In this study, we investigated the influence of the fabrication process of stacked capacitors on the cell capacitance by using Load Lock (L/L) LPCVD system for dielectric thin film of DRAM capacitor. As a result, it was confirmed that the capacitance difference of about 3-4 fF is obtained by reducing the effective thickness of the oxide film by about $6{\AA}$ compared to the conventional non-L/L device. In addition, Cs was found to be about 3-6 fF lower than the calculated value, even though the measurement range of the thickness of the nitride film as an insulating film was in a normal management range. This is because the node poly FI CD is managed at the upper limit of the spec, resulting in a decrease in cell surface area, which indicates a Cs reduction of about 2fF. Therefore, it is necessary to control the thickness of insulating film and CD management within 10% of the spec center value in order to secure stable Cs.

To observe the relationship between the oxygen vacancy and electrical characteristics of $TiO_2$ due to the $CO_2$ gases, the $TiO_2$ were deposited by the mixing gases of $Ar:O_2=20$ sccm:20 sccm and annealed with various temperatures. The bonding structure was changed with the annealing temperature from amorphous to crystal structure, and the oxygen vacancy was also changed with these bonding structures. The $CO_2$ gas reaction of $TiO_2$ films showed the variation in accordance with the bonding structure. The capacitance increased at the amorphous structure $TiO_2$, and the current also increased. However the oxygen vacancy decreased at this amorphous structure $TiO_2$. Because of the formation of oxygen vacancies is in inverse proportion to the amorphous structure. Moreover, the diffusion current in the depletion layer such as the amorphous structure showed the difference in accordance with the $CO_2$ gas flow rates.

Despite a simple preparation of manganese oxide (MnO₂) nanowires by electrodeposition, the improvement in specific capacitance (C_sp) and voltammetric response of the MnO₂ nanowire-based electrodes has been quite limited. This is attributed to the poor electrical conductivity of MnO₂ and its dense bulk morphology due to the aggregation of the nanowires. This study investigated the capacitive performance of MnO₂ nanowires electrodeposited on agarose thin films. The good ionic conductivity and porous network of the agarose film provided favorable growth conditions for the MnO₂ nanowires with suppressed aggregation. A maximum C_sp value of 686 F/g measured at a scan rate of 10 mV/s was obtained, which was significantly larger than that of 314 F/g for the agarose-free MnO₂ electrode at the same scan rate. The rate capability was also improved. The C_sp measured at a high scan rate of 100 mV/s retained 74.0% of the value measured at 10 mV/s, superior to the retention of 71.1% for the agarose-free MnO₂ electrode.

Catalytic chemical vapor deposition (Cat-CVD) has been developed to deposit alumina(Al$_2$O$_3$) thin films on silicon (Si) crystal using N$_2$ bubbled tir-methyl aluminium [Al(CH$_3$)$_3$, TMA] and molecular oxygen (O$_2$) as source species and tungsten wires as a catalyzer. The catalyzer dissociated TMA at approximately 600$^{\circ}C$ The maximum deposition rate was 18 nm/min at a catalyzer temperature of 1000 and substrate temperature of 800$^{\circ}C$. Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) diodes were fabricated using gates composed of 32.5-nm-thick alumina film deposited as a substrate temperature of 400oC. The capacitance measurements resulted in a relatively dielectric constant of 7, 4, fixed charge density of 1.74*10e12/$\textrm{cm}^2$, small hysteresis voltage of 0.12V, and very few interface trapping charge. The leakage current was 5.01*10e-7 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at a gate bias of 1V.

We investigated to decrease the leakage current of SiNx film by employing $N_2$ plasma treatment. The insulator layers were prepared by two step process; the $N_2$ plasma treatment and then PECVD SiNx deposition with $SiH_4$, $N_2$ gases. To prove the influence of the $N_2$ plasma treatment, the Si substrate was exposed to the plasma, which was generated in Ne gas ambient. Without plasma treatment SiNx film grow at the rate of 7. 03 nm/min, has a refractive index n = 1.77 and hydrogen content of $2.16{\times}10^{22}cm^{-3}$ for $N_2/SiH_4$ gas flow ratio of 20. The obtained films were analyzed in terms of deposition rates, refractive index, hydrogen concentration, and electrical properties. By employing $N_2$ plasma treatment, interface traps such as mobile charges and injected charges were removed, hysteresis of capacitance-voltage (C-V) disappeared. We observed plasma treated sample were decreased the leakage current density reduces by 2 orders with respect to the sample having no plasma treatment.

For InGaP/GaAs HBT applications, we have developed characterized MIM capacitors with thin $1000{\AA}$ PECVD silicon nitride which were deposited with $SiH_4/NH_3$ gas mixing rate, working pressure, and RF power of PECVD at $300^{\circ}C$ and had the capacitance density of 600 pF/$mm^2$ with the breakdown electric fields of 3073 MV/cm. Three PECVD process parameters were designed to lower the refractive index and then lower the deposition rate of silicon nitride films for the high breakdown electric field. At the PECVD process condition of gas mixing rate (0.92), working pressure (1.3 Torr), RF power (53 W), the AFM Rms value of about $1000{\AA}$ silicon nitride on the bottom metal was the lowest of 0.662 nmand breakdown electric fields were the highest of about 73 MV/cm.

In this paper, Thin films of $HfO_2$/Hf were deposited on p-type wafer by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). We studied the electrical and material characteristics of $HfO_2$/Hf/Si MOS capacitor depending on thickness of Hf metal layer. $HfO_2$ films were deposited using TEMAH and $O_3$ at $350^{\circ}C$. Samples were then annealed using furnace heating to $500^{\circ}C$. Round-type MOS capacitors have been fabricated on Si substrates with $2000\;{\AA}$-thick Pt top electrodes. The composition rate of the dielectric material was analyzed using TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction) and XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy). Also the capacitance-voltage (C-V), conductance-voltage (G-V), and current-voltage (I-V) characteristics were measured. We calculated the density of oxide trap charges and interface trap charges in our MOS device. At the interface between $HfO_2$ and Si, both Hf-Si and Hf-Si-O bonds were observed, instead of Si-O bond. The sandwiched Hf metal layer suppressed the growing of $SiO_x$ layer so that $HfSi_xO_y$ layer was achieved. And finally, the generation of both oxide trap charge and interface trap charge in $HfO_2$ film was reduced effectively by using Hf metal layer.
