Aluminum oxide films directly grown on n-type 6H-SiC(0001) substrates were fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering system. Metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) C-V properties with aluminum oxide thin films showed hysteresis and f1at band voltage shift. The dielectric constant of the film calculated from the capacitance at the accumulation region was about 5. Typical gate leakage current density of film at room temperature was the order of $10^{-9}\;A/cm^2$ at the range of within 2MV/cm. The breakdown did not occur at the film within the measurement range.

The SiOC film of carbon centered system was prepared using bistrimethylsilylmethane and oxygen mixed precursor by the chemical vapor deposition. The chemical properties of the SiOC film were analyzed by the I-V measurement and FTIR spectra. The main bond of 950~1200 cm-1 was composed of the Si-C, Si-O-C and Si-O bonds. The leakage current of the SiOC film increased with the increasing of the carbon content, and the drift of the current was similar to the Si-O-C bond content.

The chemical shift of SiOC film was observed according to the flow rate ratio. SiOC film has the broad main band of $880{\sim}1190cm^{-1}$ and the sharp Si-$CH_3$ bond at $1252cm^{-1}$, and the infrared spectra in the Si-O-C bond moved to low frequency according to the increasing of an oxygen flow rate. The chemical shift affected the carbon content in the SiOC film, and the decreasing of carbon atoms elongated the C-H bonding length, relatively. The main bond without the sharp Si-$CH_3$ bond at $1252cm^{-1}$ consisted of Si-C, C-O and Si-O bonds, and became the bonding structure of the Si-O-C bond.

We studied the electrical characteristics of low-k SiOCR interlayer dielectric(ILD) films fabricated by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The precursor bis-trimethylsilylmethane (BTMSM) was introduced into the reaction chamber with the various flow rates. The absorption intensities of Si-O-$CH_x$, bonding group and Si-$CH_x$, bonding group changed synchronously for the variation of precursor flow rate, but the intensity of Si-O-Si(C) responded asynchronously with the $CH_x$, combined bonds. The SiOCH films revealed ultra low dielectric constant around 2.1(1) and reduced further below 2.0 by heat treatments.

The ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene ($VF_2$-TrFE) and $Al_2O_3$ passivation layer for the Metal/Insulator/Ferroelectric/Semiconductor (MIFS) structure were deposited using spin coating and remote plasma atomic layer deposition (RPALD), respectively. A 2.5 ~ 3 wt % diluted solution of purified vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene ($VF_2$: TrFE=70:30) in a DMF solution were prepared and deposited on silicon wafer at a optimized spin speed. After annealing in a vacuum ambient at 150 ~ $200^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, upper insulator layer were deposited at temperature ranging from 100 ~ $150^{\circ}C$ by RPALD. We described electrical and structural properties of MIFS fabricated by spin coating and RPALD methods.

Thin film transistor (TFT) with silicon indium zinc oxide (SIZO) was fabricated by solution process, and the effect of annealling temperature on the electrical performance has been explored. The performance of SIZO TFT exhibited saturation mobility of $1.37cm^2$/Vs, a threshold voltage of -7.2 V, and an on-off ratio of $1.1{\times}10^5$.

The bismuth zinc niobate(BZN) pyrochlore thin films were fabricated on Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/p-Si(100) substrates using a reactive rf magnetron sputtering method at the conditions of working gas ratio Ar:$O_2$=90:10, substrate temperate $R.T{\sim}600^{\circ}C$, rf power 50 W. The dielectric constant, tunability, leakage current density and crystallinity of thin films changed with a substrate temperate. The BZN pyrochlore thin films sputtered with a substrate temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ and RTA at $800^{\circ}C$ showed a leakage current density lower than $10^{-8}\;A/cm^2$ at the range of ${\pm}300\;kV/cm$.

Ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene ($VF_2$-TrFE) copolymer films were directly deposited on degenerated Si ($n^+$, 0.002 $\Omega{\cdot}cm$) using by dip coating method. A 1 ~ 3 wt% diluted solution of purified vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene ($VF_2$:TrFE=70:30) in a dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent were prepared and deposited on silicon wafers using dip coating method for 10 seconds. After Post-Annealing in a vacuum ambient at 100~200 $^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, upper aluminum electrodes were deposited by thermal evaporation through the shadow mask to complete the MFS structure. The ferroelectric $\beta$-phase peak of films, depending on the annealing temperature, started to show up around $125^{\circ}C$, and the intensity of the peak increased with increasing annealing temperature. Above $175^{\circ}C$, the peak started to decrease. The C-V characteristics were measured using a Precision LCR meter (HP 4284A) with frequency of 1MHz and a signal amplitude of 20 mV. The leakage-current versus electric-field characteristics was measured by mean of a pA meter/DC voltage source (HP 4140B).

Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films were deposited on SiOC/Si wafer by an RF-magnetron sputtering system, by varying the deposition parameters of radio frequency power from 50 to 200 W. To assess the correlation of the optical properties between the substrate and AZO thin film, photoluminescence was measured, and the origin of deep level emission of AZO thin films grown on SiOC/Si wafer was studied. AZO formed on SiOC/Si substrates exhibited ultraviolet emission due to exciton recombination, and the visible emission was associated with intrinsic and extrinsic defects. For the AZO thin film deposited on SiOC at low RF-power, the deep level emission near the UV region is attributed to an increase of the variations of defects related to the AZO and SiOC layers. The applied RF-power influenced an energy gap of localized trap state produced from the defects, and the gap increased at low RF power due to the formation of new defects across the AZO layer caused by lattice mismatch of the AZO and SiOC films. The optical properties of AZO films on amorphous SiOC compared with those of AZO film on Si were considerably improved by reducing the roughness of the surface with low surface ionization energy, and by solving the problem of structural mismatch with the AZO film and Si wafer.

Transparent amorphous In-Si-O (ISO)/Ag/In-Si-O (ISO) has been reported for low emissivity (low-e) applications. Effective Si doping into the $In_2O_3$ matrix led to a completely amorphous ISO film as well as a low resistivity and a high optical transmittance. The optical and electrical performances were examined by measuring transmittance with a UV-VIS spectrophotometer and resistivity with a Hall effect measurement. Consequently, low-e glass with ISO/Ag/ISO showed a high transparency in the visible region and low emissivity in the infrared region, indicating that ISO is a promising amorphous transparent electrode for low-e glass.
