We have fabricated the field emitter arrays coated with diamond-like carbon (DLC) films that improved the field emission characteristics. The nitrogen doped DLC films are prepared by the filtered cathodic vacuum are (FCVA) tehnique. The activation energy of the nitrogen doped DLC films are derived from electrical conductivity measurements. The silicon field emission arrays (FEAs) were prepared by the VLSI technique. The turn-on field was rapidly decreasing and the emission current was remarkably increasing the DLC-coated FEAs than the non-coated silicon FEAs. In the nitrogen doped FEAs, the turn-on field decreased and the emission current increased with increasing the nitrogen found out the field emission current and the work function of the DLC-coated FEAs was remarkably decreased than that of the non-coated silicon FEAs. As nitrogen doping concentrations are increased the work function of FEAs is decreased and the field emission properties are improved in nitrogen doped DLC-coated FEAs. This phenomenon in due the fact that the Fermi energy level moves to the conduction band by increasing nitrogen doping concentration.

Tungsten carbon nitride (W-C-N) thin films were produced by reactive radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputter-ing of tungsten in $Ar-N_2$ gas mixture. The effects of the variation of nitrogen partial pressure on the composition, and structural properties of these films as well as the influence of post-deposition annealing have been studied. When $La_{0.67}Sr_{0.33}MnO_3$ was coated on the W-C-N/Si substrate, coercivity ($H_c$) and magnetization at room temperature shows 58.73 Oe, and 29.4 emu/cc, respectively. In order to improve the diffusion barrier characteristics, we have studied the impurity behaviors to control the ratios of nitrogen and carbon concentrations.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have excellent electrical, chemical stability, mechanical and thermal properties. In this paper, networks of Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) materials were investigated as a resistive gas sensors for the $H_2$ gas detection. Sensor films were fabricated by the air spray method using the multi-walled CNTs dispersion solution on the glass substrates cured with plasma and nitrocellulose. Sensors were characterized by the resistance measurements in the self-fabricated oven in order to find the optimum detection properties for the hydrogen gas molecular. The sensitivity and the linearity of the MWVNT sensors using the glass substrate cured with plasma for the $H_2$ gas concentration of 0.06~0.6 ppm are 0.013~0.097%/sec and 0.131~0.959%FS, respectively. The MWCNT film was excellent in the response for the hydrogen gas moleculars and its reaction speed was very fast, which could be using as hydrogen gas sensor. The resistance of the fabricated sensors decreases when the sensors are exposed to $H_2$ gas.

An efficient carbon monoxide (CO) sensor was developed based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy)thiophenepoly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) modified with a new pyrimidine-fused heterocyclic compound, bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d]dipyrimidine-tetraone (B2HDDT). B2HDDT remains stable in the polymer matrix through interactions with functional groups of the polymer. It created prominent sites that captured CO gas, and the experimental parameters, including the amount of doped B2HDDT in the PEDOT:PSS film, were optimized. The sensor probe was also examined to verify its reliability for detecting CO in the presence of atmospheric gases in a discriminating manner. NMR, AFM, and FT-IR spectra were obtained to evaluate the structure and morphology of the B2HDDT-doped PEDOT:PSS (PEDOT:PSS/B2HDDT) film. The content of 35 vol % B2HDDT (7.0 mM) in PEDOT:PSS provided the largest response factor (${\Delta}R/R_o$) for the CO gas. The sensor response was reproducible, with a relative standard deviation < 5% (n = 5). The detection limit was determined to be $0.44{\pm}0.05$ vol %.

Effects of Fe catalyst film and carbon nanotube (CNT) growth temperature on the characteristics of carbon nanotube were investigated in thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Fe catalyst was prepared by DC magnetron sputter with thickness of 5-40 nm and pre-treated with ammonia gas. CNTs were grown at $700-900^{\circ}C$. It was found that the island formation of catalyst is necessary for the CNT growth. The diameter of these CNTs shows a strong correlation with the catalyst film thickness and growth temperature.

a-SiC has been thought as an ideal candidate for conventional silicon at many applications. However, the uniformity problem of deposition has been a obstacle for conventional use of a-SiC:H films. a-SiC:H films were deposited on (100) silicon wafer by RPECVD system in various temperature. HMDS and $H_2$ gas were used as a precursor and a carrier gas, respectively. The flow rate of HMDS source and $C_2H_2$ dilution gas was fixed in order to study the carbon effect on the film stoichiometric and bonding properties. The plasma power varied from 200 to 400W. We used three types of source delivery line to control the uniformity and film properties of deposited film. We showed that the change of source delivery line has effect on the film uniformity of deposited film and this change of line did not affect on film properties. Also, the change of deposition conditions has effect on the film uniformity.

A new method of plastic film coating has been investigated to extend storage life of apples. The film coating was effected by dipping fresh apples in a plastic emulsion. The effect of plastic film coating on the preservation of freshness, respiratory activities and chemical components during storage, has been investigated on four leading varieties of apples. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The effect of film coating on storage life of apples was apparent, resulting in delay of after-ripening, shriveling, softening or physiological impediment as well as reducing consumption of reserve materials and waste fruits. 2. Change in the partial pressure of gas, i.e., increase in carbon dioxide and decrease in oxygen in apple tissue was resulted by the plastic film coating, suggesting that the film deposited on the fruit interfered with the diffusion of gases formed therein. 3. The effects of plastic film coating on the fruit storage varied with the type of plastic emulsions, coating temperature, varieties of apples and degree of fruit ripening. As regard to apple varieties, good results were obtained with PVA 217 for both American Summer Pearmain and Jonathan, and PVC 443 for McIntosh. 4. Reduction in the diminution rates of L-malic acid, ascorbic acid and soluble pectin etc. during storage of apples may account for the improved storage life of the fruits treated with plastic films.

Adhesion of DLC film is very significant property that exhibits wear resistance, chemical inertness and high hardness when being deposited to metal substrate. This study was considered that change adhesion of DLC film produced by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition can be presented through inserting interlayer (Cr, Si-C:H). The thickness of interlayer was result of changing adhesion and residual stress. It was showed that the maximum 12 N of adhesion is on DLC film of Cr interlayer, and that a tendency is to be increased residual stress depend on the thickness. DLC film of Si-C:H interlayer represented 16 N of adhesion at $1{\mu}m$, whereas adhesion is decreased when the thickness is increased. For the interlayer at multi-layer, it was the best that adhesion of Cr/Si-C:H/DLC film was 33 N. Si-C:H interlayer at DLC film controled adhesion of the whole film. It was relaxed the internal stress of DLC film produced by inserting Cr, Si-C:H interlayer.

The piezoelectric composite film of ferroelectric PZT ceramic ($PbZr_xTi_{1-x}O_3$) and polymer (PDMS, Polydimethylsiloxane) was prepared to improve the flexibility of piezoelectric material. The bar coating method was applied to fabricate flexible nanocomposite film with large surface area by low cost process. In the case of using metal electrode on the composite film, although there is no problem by bending process, the electrode is usually broken away from the film by stretching process. However, the well-attached, flexible CNT electrode on PZT/PDMS film improved flexibility, especially stretchability. PZT particles was usually settled down into polymer matrix due to gravity of the weighty particle, so to improve the dispersion of PZT powder in polymer matrix, small amount of additives (CNT powder, Carbon nanotube powder) was physically mixed with the matrix. By stretching the film, an output voltage of PZT(70 wt%)/PDMS with CNT (0.5 wt%) was measured.

This experiment was carried out to select the optimum thickness of polyethylene film for the nonastringency of astringent persimmon fruits during modified atmosphere(MA) storage of Cheongdo Bansi kept at 0$^{\circ}C$. The experimental plots were divided into 5 plots by film thickness(0.08, 0.10, 0.12, 0.14 and 0.16mm). The experimental items were the changes in concentration of CO2 and O2 in film brig, soluble tannin contents, loss of weight firmness and external appearance of fruits. The nonastringency of persimmon fruits can be achieved all groups excepting the 0.08mm film during MA storage. The sweet persimmon in film bag of 0.10 and 0.12mm maintained a high quality and firmness, but following the deastringency the fruits in 0.14 and 0.16mm developed off-color. The increasing of carbon dioxide level and decreasing of oxygen level in film bag created anaerobic condition at earth stage, and then it kept a constant level during stooge. According to film thickness the obvious difference in the change of soluble tannin contents external appearance and firmness were observed. It could be concluded that the optimum thickness of film for the desirable nonastringency on Cheongdo Bansi was 0.10mm.
