In the electronic components and devices fabrication, thin film resistors with low TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) and high precision have been used over 3 ㎓ microwave in recent years. Ni-Cr alloys thin films resistors is one of the most commonly used resistive materials because they have low TCR and highly stable resistance. In this work, we fabricated thin film resistors using Evanohm alloys target(72Ni-20Cr-3Al-4Mn-Si) of S-type with excellent resistors properties by RF-sputtering. Also we reported the best annealing condition of thin film resistors for microwave to observe microstructure and electronic properties of thin film according to annealing conditions($200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$)

Structural and electrochemical properties of spinel oxide $LiMn_2O_4$ thin films prepared by using a sol-gel method on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates were investigated. When Li/Mn molar ratio of the film was smaller than 0.5, $Mn_2O_3$hase was found to coexist with $LiMn_2O_4$. Half-cell batteries fabricated using the $LiMn_2O_4$ films as the cathode were put into chargedischarge (C-D) cycles and the change in structural properties of the cathode after the cycles was examined by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. As the C-D cycle number increases, the discharge capacity of pure $LiMn_2O_4$ battery gradually decreases, being reduced to 72% of the initial capacity at 300 cycles. Such capacity fading is attributable to the decrease in the number of $Li^+$ ions that return to the tetrahedral sites of the spinel structure during the discharge step and the resultant increase in $Mn^{4+}$ density in the film. Also, $Mn_2O_3$ phase gradually appeared in the film as the cycle number increases.

$>LaMnO_3$$(La, Sr)MO_3$, and $(La, Sr)MO_3/YSZ$ gel films were deposited by spin-coating technique on scandium-doped zirconia (YSZ) substrate using the precursor solution prepared from $La(O-i-C_3H_7)_3$, $Co(CH_3COO)_2$or $Mn(O-i-C_3H_7)_2$,2-methoxyethanol, and polyethylene glycol. By heat-treating the gel films, the electrochemical cells, $(La, Sr)MnO_3{\mid}ScSZ{\mid}Pt$ were fabricated. The effect of polyethylene glycol on the microstructure evolution of $$LaCoO_3and $LaMnO_3$thin films was investigated, and NOx decomposition characteristics of the electrochemical cells were investigated at $500^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$. By applying a direct current to the $(La, Sr)MnO_3{\mid}ScSZ{\mid}Pt$ electrochemical cell, good NOx conversion rate could be obtained relatively at low current value even if excess oxygen is included in the reaction gas mixture.

Microstructural properties of as-grown and annealed CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy (HEA) oxynitride thin films were investigated. The CoCrFeMnNi HEA oxynitride thin film was grown by magnetron sputtering method using an air gas, and annealed under the argon plus air flow for 5 h at $800^{\circ}C$. The as-grown film was homogeneous and uniform composed of nanometer-sized crystalline regions mixed with amorphous-like phase. The crystalline phase in the as-grown film was face centered cubic structure with the lattice constant of 0.4242 nm. Significant microstructural changes were observed after the annealing process. First, it was fully recrystallized and grain growth happened. Second, Ni-rich region was observed in nanometer-scale range. Third, phase change happened and it was determined to be $Fe_3O_4$ spinel structure with the lattice constant of 0.8326 nm. Hardness and Young's modulus of the as-grown film were 4.1 and 150.5 GPa, while those were 9.4 and 156.4 GPa for the annealed film, respectively.

The thin metal films of Cr, Al, Mn and were made in various evaporation rates with 100\ulcornerthickness under 2x10**-9 bar vacuum level. We analized and discussed the relationships between changes of structure, morphology and sheet resistance, light transmittance for the corresponding evaporation rates. As the evaporation rates were decreased at higher rates, grain sizes of all film were decreased, however both of the sheet resistance and light transmittance were increased. At lower evaporation rate, films of Cr and Cu porduced non-stoi-chiometric oxides but Al an Mn showed up amorphous structures.

Polycrystalline thin films of La$_{2}$3/Sr$_{1}$3/MnO$_3$(LSMO) were prepared by water-based sol-gel processing on thermally oxidized Si(100) substrate. The thickness dependence of the low-field tunnel-type magnetoresistance properties at room temperature was studied. Tunnel-type magnetoresistance at low-field is found to be strongly dependent on film thickness. Maximum value of tunnel-type magnetoresistance of LSMO thin films was appeared at the film thickness of ~1500 $\AA$. This behavior can be explained in terms of dead layer between LSMO thin film and Si(100) substrate and thermal lattice strain effect in the LSMO thin films.

In order to investigate the origin of capacity fading with charge/discharge cycling in $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film battery, impedance studies have been performed with increasing cycling in $LiMn_2O_4/1M\;LiClO_4-PC/Li$ cells. The fitted values obtained from impedance data show good agreements with the experimental results. Especially, the element of charge transfer resistance of $LiMn_2O_4/liquid$ electrolyte interface initially increased, and then saturated with increasing the charge/discharge cycles, which could explain the cause of initial abrupt capacity fading of $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film with cycling due to interfacial reaction. The steady capacity fading is caused by the increasing of Warburg resistance. The chemical diffusion coefficient of Li ions decreased from $5.15\times10^{-11}cm^2/sec$ at 1st cycles to $6.3\times10^{-12}cm^2/sec$ at 800th cycles, which attributed to the Jahn-Teller distortion/Mn dissolution which diminishes tetra hedral sites necessary for Li diffusion in $LiMn_2O_4$.

We fabricated $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}MnO_3$ thin films using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. They were grown on sapphire substrates with various deposition conditions. After the growth of the $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}MnO_3$ thin films, they were annealed at various temperatures to be crystallized. We successfully fabricated single phase $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}MnO_3$ thin films with high electrical conductivity. The room temperature resistivity was $1.5{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. It can be considered that $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}MnO_3$ thin films are one of the feasible candidates for electrodes for integrated device applications.
