Multi-layered gelatin films were used for the preparation of diagnostic membranes to measure blood glucose concentration. Diffusion rates of glucose through multi-layer gelatin films were monitored to obtain blood-glucose level by using glucose dehydrogenase and diaphorase. The effects of coating edge distance, enzyme quantities, film thickness, and outside temperature on the maximum diffusion rates of glucose were examined.

The interfacial layer between the oxide film and the metal film according to RTP annealing temperature of metal film has been studied. Two types of oxides, BPSG and PETEOS, were used as a bottom layer under multi-layered metal films. We observed the interface between oxide and metal films using SEM (scanning electron microscopy), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), AES (auger electron spectroscopy). Bonding failure was occurred by interfacial reaction between the BPSG oxide and the multi-layered metal films above $650^{\circ}C$ RTP anneal. The phosphorus accumulation layer was observed at interface between BPSG oxide and metal films by AES and TEM measurements. On the other hand, bonding was always good in the sample using PETEOS oxide as a bottom layer. We have known that adhesion between BPSG and multi-layered metal films was improved when the sample was annealed below $650^{\circ}C$.

ZTO/GZO double layered films were prepared on unheated non-alkali glass substrates. ZTO films were deposited by RF/DC hybrid magnetron co-sputtering using ZnO (RF) target and $SnO_2$ (DC) targets, and then GZO films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering using an GZO ($Ga_2O_3$:5.57 wt%) target. These films were post-annealed at temperature of 200, $300^{\circ}C$ in air and vacuum ambient for 30 min. In the case of post-annealing in air, ZTO/GZO double layer showed relatively low resistivity change, compared to GZO single layer. Furthermore, ZTO/GZO double layer revealed low WVTR, compared to GZO single layer. Therefore, it can be confirmed that ZTO film doing a role with barrier for water or oxygen diffusion.

Ga doped ZnO (GZO)/Al bi-layered films were deposited on the glass substrate by RF and DC magnetron sputtering and then vacuum annealed at different temperatures of 100, 200 and $300^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes to consider the effects of annealing temperature on the structural, electrical and optical properties of the films. For all depositions, the thicknesses of the GZO and Al films were kept constant at 95 and 5 nm, respectively, by controlling the deposition time. As-deposited GZO/Al bi-layered films showed a relatively low optical transmittance of 62%, while the films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ showed a higher transmittance of 81%, compared to the other films. In addition, the electrical resistivity of the films was influenced by annealing temperature and the lowest resistivity of $9.8{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ was observed in the films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$. Due to the increased carrier mobility, 2.35 $cm^2V^{-1}S^{-1}$ of the films. From the experimental results, it can be concluded that increasing the annealing temperature enhanced the optical and electrical properties of the GZO/Al films.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (MoS2, WS2, WSe2, MoSe2, NbS2, NbSe2, etc.) are layered materials that can exhibit semiconducting, metallic and even superconducting behavior. In the bulk form, the semiconducting phases (MoS2, WS2, WSe2, MoSe2) have an indirect band gap. Recently, these layered systems have attracted a great deal of attention mainly due to their complementary electronic properties when compared to other two-dimensional materials, such as graphene (a semimetal) and boron nitride (an insulator). However, these bulk properties could be significantly modified when the system becomes mono-layered; the indirect band gap becomes direct. Such changes in the band structure when reducing the thickness of a WS2 film have important implications for the development of novel applications, such as valleytronics. In this work, we report for the controlled synthesis of large-area (~cm2) single-, bi-, and few-layer WS2 using a two-step process. WOx thin films were deposited onto a Si/SiO2 substrate, and these films were then sulfurized under vacuum in a second step occurring at high temperatures ($750^{\circ}C$). Furthermore, we have developed an efficient route to transfer these WS2 films onto different substrates, using concentrated HF. WS2 films of different thicknesses have been analyzed by optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

$MgF_2$/Cr/$MgF_2$, $MgF_2$/Cu/$MgF_2$ and $MgF_2$/Al/$MgF_2$ multi-layered thin films were fabricated by evaporation system. $MgF_2$ and Cr(Cu, And Al) was selected as a low refractive index material and mid reflector layer, respectively. Optical properties including color effect were systematically studied in terms of different film layer by using spectrophotometer. Experimental results were compared to the simulation result. The films consistings of $MgF_2$/Cr/$MgF_2$, $MgF_2$/Cu/$MgF_2$, $MgF_2$/Al/$MgF_2$ multi-layered thin films showed wavelength range of $430{\sim}780nm$, typically color range between greenish yellow and orange at view angle of $45^{\circ}$. It was confirmed that this experimental result was well matched with simulation result.

The micro-patterning of multi-layered thin films containing CdS and $Ta_2O_5$ layers on ITO substrate with various structures was successfully obtained by combining three different techniques: chemical solution depositions, sol-gel, and microcontact printing (μCP) methods using octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) as the organic thin layer template. $Ta_2O_5$ layer was prepared by sol-gel casting and CdS one obtained by chemical solution deposition, respectively. Parallel and cross patterns of multi-layers with $Ta_2O_5$ and CdS films were fabricated additively by successive removal of OTS layer pre-formed. This study presents the designed architectures consisting of the two types of feature having horizontal dimensions of 170 ㎛ and 340 ㎛ with constant thickness ca. 150 nm of each deposited materials. The thin film lay-out of the cross-patterning is composed of four regions with chemically different layer compositions, which are confirmed by Auger electron microanalysis.
