$MgF_2$ is a current material used for optical applications in the ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet range. Process variables for manufacturing $MgF_2$ thin film were established in order to clarify the optimum conditions for the growth of the thin film, dependant upon the process conditions, and then by changing a number of the vapor deposition conditions, substrate temperatures, and heat treatment conditions, the structural and optical characteristics were measured. Then, optimum process variables were thus derived. Nevertheless, modern applications still require improvement in the optical and structural quality of the deposited layers. In the present work, in order to understand the composition and microstructure of $MgF_2$, single layers grown on a slide glass substrate using an Electron beam Evaporator (KV-660), were analyzed and compared. The surface substrate temperature, having an effect on the quality of the thin film, was changed from $200^{\circ}C$ to $350^{\circ}C$ at intervals of $50^{\circ}C$. The heat treatment temperature, which also has an effect on the thin film, was changed from $200^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$ at intervals of $50^{\circ}C$. The physical properties of the thin film were investigated at various fabrication conditions, such as the substrate temperature, the heat treatment temperature, and the heat treatment time, by X-ray diffraction, and field emission-scanning electron microscopy.

$MgF_2$ is a current material for the optical applications in the UV and deep UV range. Process variables for manufacturing the $MgF_2$ thin film were established in order to clarify optimum conditions for growth of the thin film depending upon process conditions, and then by changing a number of vapor deposition conditions and substrate temperature, Annealing conditions variously, structural and Optical characteristics were measured. Thereby, optimum process variables were derived. Nevertheless, modern applications still require improvement of the optical and structural quality of the deposited layers. In the present work, the composition and microstructure of $MgF_2$ single layers grown on slide glass substrate by Electro beam Evaporator(KV-660) processes, were analyzed and compared. The surface Substrate temperature having an effect on the quality of the thin film was changed from $200[^{\circ}C]$ to $350[^{\circ}C]$ at intervals of $50[^{\circ}C]$. and annealing temperature an effect on the thin film was changed from $200[^{\circ}C]$ to $400[^{\circ}C]$ at intervals of $50[^{\circ}C]$. Physical properties of the thin film were investigated at various fabrication conditions substrate temperature, annealing and temperature, annealing time by XRD, FE-SEM.

Indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO) thin films were deposited on glass and quartz substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The substrate temperature varied from $100^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$. The structural and optical properties of thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and UV-Visible transmission spectra. It has been found from X-ray diffraction patterns that increasing the substrate temperature, the amorphous structure changes into polycrystalline structure. The FESEM results showed that all ITZO thin films have a smooth surface. The average optical transmittance (400 - 800 nm) was 82% and 80% at all films deposited at $200^{\circ}C$. The band gap energy ranges 3.41 to 3.57eV and 2.81 to 3.44eV with a maximum value at $200^{\circ}C$ all substrates temperature.

Transparent and conducting IGZO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering on thin Cu coated glass substrates to investigate the effect of a Cu buffer layer on the structural, optical, and electrical film properties. Although X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that both the IGZO single layer and IGZO/Cu bi-layered films were in the amorphous phase, the IGZO/Cu films showed a lower resistivity of 5.7×10⁻⁴ Ωcm due to the increased mobility and high carrier concentration. The decreased optical transmittance of the IGZO/Cu films was also attributed to a one order of magnitude higher carrier concentration than the IGZO films. From the observed results, the thin Cu layer is postulated to be an effective buffer film that can enhance the opto-electrical performance of the IGZO films in transparent thin film transistors.

Plasma can be used to various applications such as sterilization, inactivation/removal of microorganisms, wound healing, tooth bleaching, cancer treatment, surface modification and plasma polymerization. In this research, we studied the effect of plasma irradiation on the structural, optical, and biological properties of the polymer films. Several polymers were synthesized and then deposited on the glass substrates. The polymer films were treated by oxygen and nitrogen plasmas. Plasma-treated films were investigated by contact angle, infrared absorption spectroscopy, cathodoluminescence spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Functional materials were prepared on plasma-treated surface, and their performances were investigated using various techniques. Next, we discuss relationship between the performance of functional materials and the structural properties of plasma-treated polymer films.
