The best part of graphene is - charge-carriers in it are mass less particles which move in near relativistic speeds. Comparing to other materials, electrons in graphene travel much faster - at speeds of $10^8cm/s$. A graphene sheet is pure enough to ensure that electrons can travel a fair distance before colliding. Electronic devices few nanometers long that would be able to transmit charge at breath taking speeds for a fraction of power compared to present day CMOS transistors. Many researches try to check a possibility to make it a perfect replacement for silicon based devices. Graphene has shown high potential to be used as interconnects in the field of high frequency electrical devices. With all those advantages of graphene, we demonstrate characteristics of electrical and optical properties of graphene such as the effect of graphene geometry on the microwave properties using the measurements of S-parameter in range of 500 MHz - 40 GHz at room temperature condition. We confirm that impedance and resistance decrease with increasing the number of graphene layer and w/L ratio. This result shows proper geometry of graphene to be used as high frequency interconnects. This study also presents the optical properties of graphene oxide (GO), which were deposited in different substrate, or influenced by oxygen plasma, were confirmed using different characterization techniques. 4-6 layers of the polycrystalline GO layers, which were confirmed by High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and electron diffraction analysis, were shown short range order of crystallization by the substrate as well as interlayer effect with an increase in interplanar spacing, which can be attributed to the presence of oxygen functional groups on its layers. X-ray photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy confirms the presence of the $sp^2$ and $sp^3$ hybridization due to the disordered crystal structures of the carbon atoms results from oxidation, and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and XPS analysis shows the changes in oxygen functional groups with nature of substrate. Moreover, the photoluminescent (PL) peak emission wavelength varies with substrate and the broad energy level distribution produces excitation dependent PL emission in a broad wavelength ranging from 400 to 650 nm. The structural and optical properties of oxygen plasma treated GO films for possible optoelectronic applications were also investigated using various characterization techniques. HRTEM and electron diffraction analysis confirmed that the oxygen plasma treatment results short range order crystallization in GO films with an increase in interplanar spacing, which can be attributed to the presence of oxygen functional groups. In addition, Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and Raman spectroscopy confirms the presence of the $sp^2$ and $sp^3$ hybridization due to the disordered crystal structures of the carbon atoms results from oxidation and XPS analysis shows that epoxy pairs convert to more stable C=O and O-C=O groups with oxygen plasma treatment. The broad energy level distribution resulting from the broad size distribution of the $sp^2$ clusters produces excitation dependent PL emission in a broad wavelength range from 400 to 650 nm. Our results suggest that substrate influenced, or oxygen treatment GO has higher potential for future optoelectronic devices by its various optical properties and visible PL emission.

광소자와 마이크로파 유전체 소자 및 절연 산화막으로의 응용을 위한 $MgTiO_3$ 박막을 펄스레이저 증착법을 이용하여 다양한 기판 위에서 증착하였다. 사파이어 기판에(c-plane Sapphire) 성장된 $MgTiO_3$ 박막은 에피텍셜 성장(epitaxial growth)이 되었으며, $SiO_2$/Si 및 Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(plantinzed silicon)기판 위에 성장된 $MgTiO_3$ 박막의 경우, 기판과 관계없이 c축 방향으로 배향(oriented)되었다. 사파이어 기판 위에 증착된 $MgTiO_3$ 박막은 가시영역에서 투명하였으며, 약 290 nm 파장을 갖는 영역에서 급격한 흡수단을 보였다. 사파이어 기판 위에 성장된 박막의 AM(Atomic Force Microscopy)분석결과 약 0.87 nm rms roughness 값을 갖는 매우 평탄한 표면상태를 갖고 있음을 확인하였다. MIM(Pt/$MgTiO_3$/Pt) 구조의 캐패시터를 형성시켜 $MgTiO_3$박막의 유전특성 (dielectric properties)을 관찰하였는데, 펄스레이저 증착법으로 성장된 $MgTiO_3$ 박막의 유전율(relative dielectric constant)은 약 24.5였으며, 1 MHz에서 약 1.5%의 유전손실(dielectric loss) 값을 보였다. 또한 이때 $MgTiO_3$박막은 낮은 유전분산을 보였다.
