Mono- and few-layer graphenes were grown on Ni thin films by rapid-thermal pulse chemical vapor deposition technique. In the growth steps, the exposure step for 60 s in $H_2$ (a flow rate of 10 sccm (standard cubic centimeters per minute)) atmosphere after graphene growth was specially established to improve the quality of the graphenes. The graphene films grown by exposure alone without $H_2$ showed an intensity ratio of $I_G/I_{2D}$ = 0.47, compared with a value of 0.38 in the films grown by exposure in H2 ambient. The quality of the graphenes can be improved by exposure for 60 s in $H_2$ ambient after the growth of the graphene films. The physical properties of the graphene films were investigated for the graphene films grown on various Ni film thicknesses and on 260-nm thick Ni films annealed at 500 and $700^{\circ}C$. The graphene films grown on 260-nm thick Ni films at $900^{\circ}C$ showed the lowest $I_G/I_{2D}$ ratio, resulting in the fewest layers. The graphene films grown on Ni films annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 h showed a decrease of the number of layers. The graphene films were dependent on the thickness and the grain size of the Ni films.

Among the many forms of mesoporous materials, thin films are important for the potential applications of this class of materials. Compared with the powder forms, however, there has been relatively little work done on thin films probably because of the lack of suitable and generalized synthetic mechanisms established. In this account, we will review the issues on mesoporous thin films with emphasis on the necessity of forming films with accessible pores from the film surfaces and on mesoporous thin films with metal oxides other than silica. Various methods that have been tried to utilize mesoporous thin films with accessible pores as templates for the synthesis of nanostructured materials are reviewed with the emphasis on the advantages of the electrochemical deposition technique.

In and Ga doped ZnO (IGZO) thin films were prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering without intentional substrate heating on glass substrate and TiO2-deposited glass substrates to consider the effect of a thin TiO2 buffer layer on the optical and electrical properties of the films. The thicknesses of the TiO2 buffer layer and IGZO films were kept constant at 5 and 100 nm, respectively. Since the IGZO/TiO2 bi-layered films show the higher FOM value than that of the IGZO single layer films, it is supposed that the IGZO/TiO2 bi-layered films will likely perform better in TCO applications than IGZO single layer films.

The properties of metal interlayered DLC films between the Si substrate and the DLC films were studied. DC magnetron sputtering method has been used to deposit intermediate layers of metals. And RF-PECVD method has been employed to synthesize DLC onto substrates of the silicon and metal layers. After we used metal Inter-layers, such as chromium, nickel, titanium and we studied tribological properties of the DLC films. The thickness of films were observed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). Also the surface morphology of the films were observed by an atomic force microscope (AFM). The crystallographic properties of the films were analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD), the friction coefficients were investigated by AFM in friction force microscope (FFM) mode. Tribological performances of the films were estimated by nano-indenter, stress tester measurement.

Aluminum and hydrogen doped zinc oxide (AZHO) films were prepared by r.f. magnetron sputtering. The structural, electrical, and optical properties of the AHZO films were investigated in terms of the annealing conditions to study the thermal stability. The XRD measurements revealed that the degree of c-axis orientation was decreased and the crystallintiy of the films was deteriorated by the heat treatment. The electrical resistivity was significantly increased when the films were annealed at higher temperature. Although the optical transmittance of AHZO films didn't highly changed by heat treatment, the optical band gap was reduced, regardless of annealing temperature and duration. The thermal stability of AHZO films was worse compared to AZO films.

Photocatalytic removal of benzene from air was examined using titanium dioxide photocatalyst films prepared on soda lime glass(50$\times$50$\times$2 mm) by spin coating and chemical vapor deposition. For the measurement of photocatalytic reactivity titanium dioxide coated glass was placed into a batch reactor and concentration of benzene in the reactor was set to abuot 100 ppm, and then illuminated with UV. It was found that catalytic reactivity of titanium dioxide films increased with the increase of titanium dioxide film thickness and then level off beyond a certain film thickness. UV absorption by the films showed the similar trend. The formation of stoichiometric amount of carbon dioxide was confirmed by measurement of carbon dioxide concentration in the reactor. In general spin coated films revealed better photocatalytic reactivity than chemically deposited one within the experimental ranges covered in this study. Morphology and crystal structure of prepared films were investigated by XRD and SEM and they showed significant difference between spin coated films and CVD films. Highest quantum efficiency of prepared titanium dioxide photocatalyst was close to 50%.

In this paper, GaN films have been grown on SiO$_2$/Si(100) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. To obtain high quality GaN films, we used ZnO buffer layer and modified the process conditions. The charateristics of GaN films on RF power, substrate temperature and Ar/N$_2$gas ratio have been investigated by Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. At RF power 150W, substrate temperature 500 $^{\circ}C$ and Ar/N$_2$=1:2 gas ratio, we could grow high quality GaN films. Through the atomic force microscope and photoluminescence analysises, it was observed that the crystallization of GaN films was improved with increasing annealing temperature and the optimal crystallization of GaN films was found at 1100 $^{\circ}C$ annealing temperature.

Thin films of ZnO and Al doped ZnO were prepared by rf magnetron sputter techniques. When the oxygen fraction in Ar-O$_2$ sputter gas was about 2.0%, the films exhibited the composition of Zn:O=1.05:1. The films prepared at 250 W contain larger grains than the films grown at 100 W. However, high deposition rate seems to deteriorates the crystallinity as well as Al-substitution, resulting in lower concentration of mobile electrons. The Al-doped ZnO films which were deposited at $500^{\circ}C$ show resistance of 1$\times$10$^-2$ Wcm; optical band gap of the films ranges from 3.25 to 3.40 eV. These electrical and optical features are related with microstructural as well as crystalline characteristics of the films.

Highly oriented ZnO thin films were fabricated by dip-coating technique using zinc acetate 2-methoxyethanol 2-aminoethanol solution as starting materials, and effects of substrates on the film's orientation were investigated. Product films were obtained by prefiring at 300, 400, 500 and 550℃ for 10 min, followed by final heat-treatment at the same temperatures as prefiring for 1h. c-axis oriented films on glass substrates were prepared by heat treatment of prefiring films at 300-550℃, while films on alumina showed polycrystalline structure. Films with c-axis orientation exhibited lower specific resistivities than those of polycrystalline films with partial crack and pore.

It is well known that the metallo-phthalocyanines (MPcs) are sensitive to toxic gaseous molecules such as NO$_2$ and also chemically and thermally stable and it is recently reported that SnO$_2$ thin films have a selective sensitivity to NO$_2$ and SO$_2$ gas. Therefore, it is interesting to prepare phthalo-cyanine Langmuir-Boldgett(LB) films containing tin as a chemical sensor for NO$_2$ and SO$_2$ gas and test the selectivity with these tin containing LB films. First, in this study, ultra thin films of Octa (2-ethylhexyloxy) tin-phthalocyanine were prepared on various substrates by LB method. $\pi$-A isotherm and transfer characteristics of these films were investigated. The formation of these films was determined by ellipsometry. Intrinsic current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of these films were also measured.
