SiGe thin films were deposited by remote plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RPE-CVD) at $400^{\circ}C$ using $SiH_4$ or $SiCl_4$ and $GeCl_4$ as the source of Si and Ge, respectively. The growth rate and the degree of crystallinity of the fabricated films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Raman analysis, respectively. The optical and electrical properties of SiGe films fabricated using $SiCl_4$ and $SiH_4$ source were comparatively studied. SiGe films deposited using $SiCl_4$ source showed a lower growth rate and higher crystallinity than those deposited using $SiH_4$ source. Ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy measurement showed that the optical band gap of SiGe is in the range of 0.88~1.22 eV.

Al electrode for OLED was deposited by FTS (Facing Targets Sputtering) system which can deposit thin films with low substrate damage. The Al thin films were deposited on the cell (LiF/EML/HTL/Bottom electrode) as a function of working gas such as Ar or Ar+kr mixed gas. Also Al thin films were prepared with working gas pressure (1, 6 mTorr). The film thickness and I-V curve of Al/cell were measured and evaluated. In the results, when Al thin films were deposited using pure Ar gas, the turn-on voltage of Al/cell was about 11 V. And using the Ar:Kr($75\%:25\%$) mixed gas, the turn-on voltage of Al/cell decreased to about 7 V.

The influences of ion beam energy and reactive oxygen partial pressure on the physical and crystallographic characteristics of transition metal oxide compound(CrOx) film were studied in this paper. Chromium oxide films were deposited onto a cover-glass using ion Beam Sputter Deposition(IBSD) technique according to the various processing parameters. Crystallinity and grain size of as-deposited films were analyzed using XRD analysis. Thickness and Resistivity of the films were measured by $\alpha$-step and 4-point probe measurement. According to the XRD, XPS and resistivity results, the deposited films were the cermet type films which had crystal structure including amorphous oxide(a-oxide) phase and metal Cr phase simultaneously. The increment of the ion beam energy during the deposition process led to decreasing of metal Cr grain size and the rapid change of resistivity above the critical $O_2$ partial pressure.

Transparent conductive alum mum-doped ZnO (AZO) films have been prepared on polycarbonate (PC), Coring 7059 and Quartz substrates by DC sputtering method at room temperature. Films deposited was evaluated about spectra of X-ray diffraction and transmittance and characteristics of films deposited as kind of substrate was compared. Films deposited showed (002) orientation and all AZO films are transparent over 80% within the visible wavelength region.

Ga doped ZnO (GZO) transparent conductive films were deposited on the glass substrates at room temperature by facing target sputtering (FTS) method. The sputtering targets were 100 mm diameter disks of GZO($Ga_2O_3$ 3.w.t%) and Zn metal. The GZO thin films were deposited as a various $PO_2$ (oxygen gas content). Base pressure was $2{\times}10^{-6}$torr, and a working pressure was 1mTorr. The properties of thin films on the electrical and optical properties of the deposited films were investigated by using a four-point probe, a Hall Effect measurement and an UV/VIS spectrometer. The minimum resistivity of film was $6.5{\times}10^{-4}$[$\Omega$-cm] and the average transmittance of over 80% was seen in the visible range.

This paper presents the Raman scattering characteristics of poly (polycrystalline) 3C-SiC thin films deposited on AlN buffer layer by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) using hexamethyldisilane (MHDS) and carrier gases (Ar + $H_2$).The Raman spectra of SiC films deposited on AlN layer of before and after annealings were investigated according to the growth temperature of 3C-SiC. Two strong Raman peaks, which mean that poly 3C-SiC admixed with nanoparticle graphite, were measured in them. The biaxial stress of poly 3C-SiC/AlN was calculated as 896 MPa from the Raman shifts of 3C-SiC deposited at $1180^{\circ}C$ on AlN of after annealing.

Nominally undoped (intrinsic) ZnO thin films were deposited by magnetron sputtering system with utilization of substrate bias on silicon at $450^{\circ}C$. Oxygen gas was selected as sputtering gas. The deposited thins were evaluated with X-ray diffraction (XRD) for their microstructure analysis and Hall effect in Van der Pauw configuration for their electrical property. The XRD shows that the magnitude and polarity of substrate bias significantly influence the microstructure and electrical properties.

Using RF plasma CVD the diamond particles and films were deposited on Si and quartz substrate from $CH_4$-$H_2$ mixed gas. The temperature of substrate was uniformly maintained by inserting matal plate between substrate and substrate holder. As a result, the deposited diamond particles were mainly twins. The deposited diamond films were identified by SEM, XRD and Raman spectroscopy.

Morphology and composition of MgO films grown on single-crystalline diamond (100) have been studied. MgO thin films were deposited in the substrate temperature range from room temperature (RT) to 723K by means of electron beam evaporation using MgO powder source. Atomic force microscopy images indicated that the film grown at RT without $O_2$ supply was relatively uniform and flat whereas that deposited in oxygen ambient yielded higher growth rates and rough surface morphologies. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses demonstrate that the MgO film deposited at RT without $O_2$ has the closest composition to the stoichiometric MgO, and that a thin contaminant layer composed mainly of magnesium peroxide (before etching) or hydroxide (after etching) was unintentionally formed on the film surface, respectively. These results will be discussed in relation to the interaction among the evaporated species and intentionally supplied oxygen molecules at the growth front as well as the interfacial energy between diamond and MgO.

Aluminum nitride(AlN) thin films were deposited on silicon substrates using RF magnetron sputtering at various deposition conditions and investigated the characteristics. It was used XRD, AES, SEM, and HP-4145B semiconductor parameter analyzer to analysis deposited AlN thin films. The deposition conditions for the good c-axis orientation were 100 W of RF power, $200^{\circ}C$ of substrate temperature and 15 mTorr of working pressure. The leakage current density was less then $1.3{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^{2}$. And it was also investigated the etching properties of deposited AlN thin films for application.
