ZnO thin films on (l00) p-type Si and sapphire substrates have been deposited by a pulsed laser deposition technique using an Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 266 nm. The influence of the deposition parameters such as oxygen pressure, substrate temperature and laser energy density on the properties of the grown films was studied. The experiments were performed for substrate temperatures in the range of 200∼50$0^{\circ}C$ and oxygen pressure in the range of 100∼700 sccm. All of the films grown in this experiment show strong c-axis orientation with (002) textured ZnO peak. With increasing substrate temperature, the FWHM (full width at half maximum) and surface roughness were decreased. In the case of using sapphire substrate, the intensity of PL spectra increased with increasing ambient oxygen flow rate. We investigated the structural and morphological properties of ZnO thin films using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).

A 3D printer based on laser powder deposition (LPD), also known as DED (direct energy deposition), has been developed for fabricating metal parts. The printer uses a ytterbium fiber laser (1070nm, 1kW) and is equipped with an Ar purge chamber, a three-dimensional translation stage and a powder feeding system composed of a powder chamber and delivery nozzles. To demonstrate the performance of the printer, a tapered cylinder of 320mm in height has been fabricated successfully using Ti-6Al-4V powders. The process parameters including the laser output power, the scan speed, and the powder feeding rate have been optimized. A 3D printed test specimen shows mechanical properties (yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation) exceeding the criteria to employed in a variety of Ti alloy applications.

Si thin films on p-type (100) Si substrate have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser. The pressure of the environmental gas during deposition was varied from 1 to 3 Torr. After deposition, Si thin film has been annealed again at nitrogen ambient. Strong violet-indigo photoluminescence have been observed from Si thin film annealed in nitrogen ambient gas. As increasing environmental gas pressure, weak green and red emissions from annealed Si thin films also observed by photoluminescence.

High quality $Y_{1}$Ba$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$$O_{7-x}$ thin films have been fabricated by pulsed Nd:YAG laser deposition using an unusual 'off-axis' target-substrate geometry. Various properties of superconducting $Y_{1}$Ba$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$$O_{7-x}$ thin films have been studied systematically as a function of oxygen pressure during the deposition, in both 'on-axis' and the unusual 'off-axis' target substrate geometries. In the 'off-axis' geometry, one can completely eliminate the so-called 'laser droplets' from the film surface and thus obtain smooth high quality films. It is found that films with optimum structural and electrical properties are obtained at a lower oxygen pressure range during the 'off-axis' deposition when compared with that required in the 'on-axis' deposition geometry.

SiC films were prepared on glassy carbon substrates by laser chemical vapor deposition under a high pressure of $10^4Pa$ using a diode laser (wavelength = 808 nm) and a polysilaethylene precursor. (111)-oriented SiC films were formed at a deposition temperature ($T_{dep}$) range of 1150 - 1422 K. At $T_{dep}=1262K$, the SiC film with a high Lotgering factor of above 0.96 showed an exhibited pyramid-like surface morphology and flower-like grains. The highest deposition rate ($R_{dep}$) was $220{\mu}m\;h^{-1}$ at $T_{dep}=1262K$.

Si thin films on p-type (100) Si substrate have been prepared by a pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser. The pressure of the environmental gas during deposition was 1 Torr. After deposition, Si thin film has been annealed again at 400-840$^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen ambient. Strong blue photoluminescence (PL) have been observed at room temperature. We report the PL properties of Si thin films with the variation of the annealing temperature.

SiN films were deposited in $Si_2H_6$(99.9%), $NH_3$(99.99%) gas mixture with carrier gas $N_2$ on Si substrate by ArF Excimer Laser CVD. SiN film deposition conditions that are substrate temperature and Laser average power were varied in order to investigate the dependence of SiN film on the condition. A post-deposition anneal was performed to examine variation of fixed charge density in the films. The deposition rate was increased as the substrate temperature and Laser power were increased during film deposition. The refractive index was increased with increasing substrate temperature, but it didn't have the dependence on Laser power. The fixed charge density was decreased when a post-deposition anneal was performed.

The authors derived the criteria on the process parameters of laser depositions with metal powers(SUS316L & IN718) by evaluating the surface and cross-section properties of the deposition layers. The surface characteristics of the deposition layer are investigated through optical microscopy by controlling the process parameters of laser output, powder feeding rate and gas feeding rate. The cross-section characteristics were also analyzed after polishing and chemical etching process. As the gas feeding rate increased, the amount of powder loss increased and the difference in the dilution ratio and heat affected zone depending on laser outputs was observed. In addition, the powder feeding rate used in the experiment did not interfere with the energy absorption of the base material.

ZnO thin films on (100)p-type silicon substrates have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) technique using an Nd:YGA laser with a wavelength of 266nm. The influence of the deposition parameters, such as oxygen pressure, substrate temperature and laser energy density variation on the properties of the grown film, was studied. The experiments were performed for substrate temperatures in the range of $200{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ and oxygen pressure in the range of $10^{-2}{\sim}10^2mTorr$. We investigated the structural, morphological and optical properties of ZnO thin films using X-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscopy(AFM), photoluminescence(PL).
