High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) technique has been developed for more than 15 years. It is characterized by its ultra-high peak current and peak power density to obtain unique thin film properties, such as high hardness, good adhesion and tribological performance. However, its low deposition rate makes it hard to be applied in industries. In this work, the development of HiPIMS system and integration of radio frequency (RF) or mid-frequency (MF) power supplies were introduced. Effects of duty cycle and repetition frequency on the microstructure, mechanical property, optical and electrical properties of some binary, ternary and quarternary nitride coatings and oxide thin films were discussed. It can be observed that the deposition rate was effectively increased by the superimposed HiPIMS with RF or MF power. High hardness, good adhesion and sufficient wear resistance can be obtained through a proper adjustment of processing parameters of HiPIMS power system.

Inkjet printing is commonly used in the controlled deposition of solutions of functional materials in specific locations on a substrate, and it can provide easy and fast deposition of polymer films over a large area. which could become a way to manufacturer low cost solar cells. In the present study, inkjet printing technology is adopted to deposit functional layers of PEDOT/PSS solutions and P3HT/PCBM blends for organic solar cell. The results show that merging of separately deposited ink droplets into a continuous, pinhole-free organic thin film could be achieved by a balance between ink property and substrate treatment. As a result, a power conversion efficiency of 2.0% has been accomplished a solar cells applying inkjet technology.

In this paper, we have studied the surface property and transmittance of n- and p-type thin film deposited on ITO substrate. In n-type samples, the average particle size was large and uniform as RF power was increased, and the best results were shown at the condition of the temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ and 200 W of RF power. The transmittance of the sample deposited for 20 minutes was 74.82% and the light wave was increased to 800 nm. In p-type samples, the results were 71.21% and 789 nm at the deposition condition of the RF power of 250 W and the temperature of $250^{\circ}C$.

Hydrogen passivation of Si nanocrystals identifies luminescence mechanism indirectly. Si nanocrystallites thin films on p-type (100) Si substrate have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser After deposition, Si nanocrystallites thin films have been annealed at 600$^{\circ}C$ and 760$^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen ambient, respectively. Hydrogen passivation was subsequently performed at 500$^{\circ}C$ in forming gas (95 % N$_2$ + 5 % H$_2$) for an 1 hour. We report the photoluminescnece(PL) property of Si thin films by the hydrogen passivation. The luminescence mechanism of Si nanocrystallites has also been investigated.

For the applications in the ultra-large-scale-integration (ULSI) metallization processing copper thin films have been prepared by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technology on TiN/Si substrates. The films have been deposited with varying the experimental conditions of substrate temperatures and copper source vapor pressures. The films were then annealed in a vacuum condition after the deposition and the annealing effect to the electrical conductivity of the films was measured. The grain size and the crystallinity of the films were observed to be increased by the post annealing and the electrical conductivity was also increased. The best electrical property of the copper film was obtained by in-situ annealing treatment at above 40$0^{\circ}C$ for the sample prepared at 18$0^{\circ}C$ of the substrate temperature.

In this study, we investigated variations in undoped ZnO thin film properties with working pressure, $O_2$/Ar ratio, and annealing ambient. Higher vacuum pressure during deposition was observed to bring about slower growth rate resulting in samples with better crystallinity as well as hole generation efficiency through formation of shallower oxygen interstitial. Given that $O_2$/Ar ratio is greater than unity, O provided from the ambient to ZnO during annealing was found to preferably situate at interstitial sites. When He was used for the second annealing, significant changes were not observed. On the other hand, O ambient caused increased density of oxygen interstitial, thereby making the film more intrinsic-like high resistivity ZnO.

ZnO:Zn films have been deposited on the glass substrates using thermal vapor deposition method. Different morphologies such as ZnO slice, pillar and nanorod have been derived. The relationship between photoluminescence and morphology has been studied. Photocatalytic activity has been performed to validate that defects play an important role in the photoluminescence process.

ZnO films were fabricated using rf-magnetron sputter deposition process with different $N_2$ ambient. N-content in N-doped ZnO films was less than 1%. The wavelength of the highest intensity PL peak of N-doped ZnO was shifted to higher wavelength with increasing $N_2$ flow rate in the deposition ambient. These results indicated that the optical property of ZnO was significantly affected by the defect level created by doping with a very small amount of N.

Aluminum nitride(AIN) thin films were deposited on SiO$_2$/Si substrates by reactive sputtering for the application of SAW devices. The major deposition parameters such as pressure, nitrogen fraction, rf power, substrate distance were changed to find out the optimal condition for c-axis oriented thin films on an amorphous substrate. The effects of deposition parameters on the crystal structure, residual stress, and growth morphology of thin films were characterized by XRD, SEM, and TEM. The FWHM of (002) rocking curve of the films deposited at the proper condition was lower than 2.2$^{\circ}$(C=0.93$^{\circ}$). Cross-sectional TEM showed that self-aligned structure was developed just after slightly random growth at the initial stage. The frequency characteristics of test device fabricated from AIN thin films confirmed their piezoelectric property and applicability for SAW devices.

In this study, the vertically well-aligned CNTs were synthesized by DC bias-assisted inductively coupled plasma hot-filament chemical vapor deposition (ICPHFCVD) using radio-frequence plasma of high density and that CNTs were vertically grown on Ni(300 )/Cr(200 )-deposited glass substrates at 58$0^{\circ}C$. This system(ICPHFCVD) added to tungsten filament in order to get thermal decompound and DC bias in order to vertically grow to general Inductively Coupled Plasma CVD. The grown CNTs by ICPHFCVD were developed to higher graphitization and fewer field emission properties than those by general ICPCVD. In this system, DC bias was effect of vortical alignment to growing CNTs. The measured turn-on fields of field emission property by general ICPCVD and DC bias-assisted ICPHFCVD were 5 V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 3 V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, respectively.
