$Al_2O_3$ capping layer and MgO protective layer were deposited by electron beam evaporation method using single crystal source. Thickness of the capping layer, $Al_2O_3$, was varied from 5 nm to 10 nm. Surface morphology was observed by SEM and AFM before and after hydration. And microstructure of deposited $Al_2O_3$ layer and chemical shift of electron binding energy were also observed by high resolution TEM and XPS, respectively, after hydration. From these results, it was found that Mg atoms diffused into $Al_2O_3$ layer, reacted with moisture and formed $Mg(OH)_2$ during hydration. As thickness of $Al_2O_3$ increased, extent of hydration increased. $Al_2O_3$ capped MgO thin films and uncapped MgO thin films were deposited on AC-PDP test panel to characterize discharge properties. Although $Al_2O_3$ has poor discharge properties rather than MgO, because of many hydrated species on the surface of MgO, similar discharge properties were observed.

We have fabricated $MgB_2$thin films on (1 1 02)$ A1_2$$O_3$substrates by using a two-step method. Amorphous B thin films were deposited by a pulsed laser deposition technique and sintered in Mg vapor at various temperatures from 800 to $950^{\circ}C$. Superconducting properties of the thin films were investigated by temperature dependences of magnetization and critical current density. Structural studies were carried out by an x-ray diffraction and a scanning electron microscope. The films fabricated at $900^{\circ}C$ showed the highest transition temperature of 39 K and critical current density of ~$10^{7}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 15 K.

In this study, we investigated the impurity effect of $Ga_2O_3$ doped thin film by simple doping method using Mg acetate solution. Both undoped $Ga_2O_3$ thin films and Mg-doped $Ga_2O_3$ thin films were grown on Si substrates at 600 and $900^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes by means of a customized MOCVD method. As a result of the surface analysis, there were no obvious morphological differences by Mg impurity implantation. The surface of the thin film grown at $900^{\circ}C$ was rougher than those grown at $600^{\circ}C$ and polycrystallization was achieved. As a result of the optical property analysis, in the case of the doped sample, the overall emission peak was red shifted and the UV radiation intensity was increased. As a result of the I-V curve, the leakage current of the $600^{\circ}C$ growth thin film decreased by the Mg impurity and the photocurrent of the growth thin film of $900^{\circ}C$ increased.

The crystallization of FePt/MgO(100) magnetic thin films of various thicknesses has been studied using synchrotron x-ray scattering, atomic force microscope, and vibrating sample magnetometer. In film with a 500-${\AA}$-thick, ordered (fct) FePt phase was dominantly crystallized into perpendicular (001) grains keeping the magnetically easy c-axis normal to the film plane during annealing. In film with a 812-${\AA}$-thick, however, longitudinal (110) grains keeping the c-axis parallel to the film plane were grown on top of the perpendicular (001) grains. The behavior of the magnetic properties was consistent with the thickness dependence of the crystallization. We attribute the thickness dependence of the crystallization to the substrate effect, which prefers the growth of the c-axis oriented perpendicular grains near the film/substrate interfacial area.

Low voltage organic TFTs (OTFTs) and ZnO based TFTs (<5V), utilizing room temperature deposited $Bi_{1.5}Zn_{1.0}Nb_{1.5}O_7$ (BZN) thin films were recently reported, pointing to high-k gate insulators as a promising route for realizing low voltage operating flexible electronics. $Bi_{1.5}Zn_{1.0}Nb_{1.5}O_7$ (BZN) thin film is one of the most promising materials for gate insulator because of its large dielectric constant (~60) at room temperature. However their tendency to suffer from relatively high leakage current at low electric field (>0.3MV/cm) hinder the application of BZN thin films for gate insulator. In order to improve leakage current characteristics of BZN thin film, we mixed 30mol% MgO with 70mol% BZN and their dielectric and electric properties were characterized. We fabricated field-effect transistors with transparent oxide semiconductor ZnO serving as the electron channel and high-k $(Bi_{1.5}Zn_{1.0}Nb_{1.5}O_7)_{0.7}(MgO)_{0.3}$ as the gate insulator. The devices exhibited low operation voltages (<4V) due to high capacitance of the $(Bi_{1.5}Zn_{1.0}Nb_{1.5}O_7)_{0.7}(MgO)_{0.3}$ dielectric.

We have designed and developed narrow bandpass multipole filters for satellite communication using $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(YBCO) thin films on MgO substrates. The superconducting film used in this study was prepared by laser ablation on one side polished MgO (100) substrates. A Nd:YAG laser was used to fabricate YBCO thin films. The wave length of the laser was 355 nm. The laser beam was focused onto a YBCO target rotating linearly to avoid deep craters that may eject macroscopic YBCO particles. The YBCO films were grown at $750^{\circ}C$ in the oxygen partial pressure of 200 mTorr. The deposited YBCO thin films were patterned by conventional wet-etching method. The transition temperatures of YBCO thin films were 85 - 88 K and the film thicknesses were about 5,000 $\AA$. By comparing the performances of normal-metal filters and YBCO filters, we observed that superconducting YBCO multipole filters have been showed superior performances at 77 K.

We have analyzed electrical characteristics of the amorphous $MgTiO_3$thin films deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique with the temperature of 400~$500^{\circ}C$. The electrical characteristics of $MgTiO_3$films heavily depend on the deposition temperature. We speculate that the density of anomalous positive charge (APC) substantially increases as the deposition temperature lowers, causing the HF C-V curves shift to the direction of the negative gate voltage. We further observed that both the degree of C-V shift as a function of the deposition temperature and the density of APC were minimized by the use of $SiO_2$with thickness of approximately 100 $\AA$ between $MgTiO_3$films and the Si substrate.

The BLT thin film and MgO buffer layer were fabricated using a metalorganic decomposition method and the DC sputtering technique. The MgO thin film was deposited as a buffer layer on $SiO_2/Si$ and BLT thin films were used as a ferroelectric layer. The electrical of the MFIS structure were investigated by varying the MgO layer thickness. TEM showsno interdiffusion and reaction that suppressed by using the MgO film as abuffer layer. The width of the memory window in the C-Y curves for the MFIS structure decreased with increasing thickness of the MgO layer Leakage current density decreased by about three orders of magnitude after using MgO buffer layer. The results show that the BLT and MgO-based MFIS structure is suitable for non-volatile memory FETs with large memory window.

For the aim of thin microwave absorbers used in mobile telecommunication frequency band, this study proposed a high permittivity dielectrics(λ/4 spacer) coated with ITO thin films of 377 $\Omega$/sq(impedance transformer). High frequency dielectric properties of ferroelectric ceramics, electrical properties of ITO thin films and microwave absorbing properties of ITO/dielectrics were investigated. Ferroelectric materials including $BaTiO_3$(BT), 0.9Pb($Mg_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/)$O_3$-0.1 $PbTiO_3$(PMN-PT), 0.8 Pb (Mg$_{1}$3/$Nb_{2}$3/)$O_3$-0.2 Pb($Zn_{1}$3$_Nb{2}$3/)$O_3$(PMN-PZN) were prepared by ceramic processing for high permittivity dielectrics,. The ferroelectric materials show high dielectric constant and dielectric loss in the microwave frequency range. The microwave absorbance (at 2 ㎓) of BT, 0.9PMN-0.1PT, and 0.8PMN-0.2PZN were found to be 60%(at a thickness of 3.5 mm), 20% (2.5 mm), and 30% (2.5 mm), respectively. By coating the ITO thin films on the ferroelectric substrates with λ/4 thickness, the microwave absorbance is greatly improved. Particularly, when the surface resistance of ITO films is closed of 377 $\Omega$/sq, the reflection loss is reduced to -20 ㏈(99% absorbance). This is attributed to the wave impedance matching controlled by ITO thin films at a given thickness of high permittivity dielectrics of λ/4 (3.5 mm for BT, 2.5 mm for PMN-PT and PMN-PZN at 2 ㎓). It is, therefore, successfully proposed that the ITO/ferroelectric materials with controlled surface resistance and high dielectric constant can be useful as a thin microwave absorbers in mobile telecommunication frequency band.
