Al doped Zinc Oxide(ZnO:Al) films, which is widely used as a transparent conductor in optoelectronic devices such as solar cell, liquid crystal display, plasma display panel, thermal heater, and other sensors, were prepared by using the capacitively coupled DC magnetron sputtering method. The influence of the substrate temperature, working gas pressure and discharge power on the electrical, optical and morphological properties were investigated experimentally. The consideration on the effect of doping amounts of Al on the electrical and optical properties of ZnO thin film were also carried out. ZnO:Al films with the optimum growth conditions showed resistivity of $9.42{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omeg}-cm$ and transmittance of 90.88% for 840nm in film thickness in the wavelength range of the visible spectrum.

Al doped Zinc Oxide(ZnO:Al) films, which is widely used as a transparent conductor in optoelectronic devices such as solar cell, liquid crystal display, plasma display panel, thermal heater, and other sensors were Prepared by using the capacitively coupled RF magnetron sputtering method. In this paper the effect of RF discharge power on the electrical, optical and structural properties were investigated experimentally. The results show that the structural and electrical properties of the film are highly affected by the variation of RF discharge power. The optimum growth conditions were obtained for films doped with 2 wt% of $Al_2O_3$ and 200 W in RF discharge power, which exhibit a resistivity of $10.4{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm$ associated with a transmittance of 89.66 % for 1000nm in films thickness in the wavelength range of the visible spectrum.

Indium-Tin Oxide (ITO) thin films were deposited on the commercial glass substrate by rf-magnetron sputtering. The ITO films with the thickness of 2,000~2,400 $\AA$ were prepared by changing the oxygen partial pressures of 2, 3, and 5%, as well as by changing the substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$. spectrophotometer, XRD, SEM, AFM, 4-point probe and Hall effect system were employed to characterize the ITO films. The optimum deposition conditions were the substrate temperature of $500^{\circ}C$ and oxygen partial pressure of 2-3%. At theses conditions, the ITO film showed the transmittance of 91%, the resistivity of $5.4\times10^{-3}\Omega$cm, the carrier concentration of $1.0\times10^{19}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$, and the carrier mobility of 150$\textrm{cm}^2$/Vsec. In XRD spectra, the (222) and (400) $In_2O_3$ planes were dominant under the optimum deposition conditions When the substrate was cleaned only by the method of ultrasonic cleaning without both pre-annealing and chemical treatment of the substrate, the ITO film exhibited the transmittance of 86%, the carrier concentration of $5.4\times10^{19}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$ and the mobility of 24$\textrm{cm}^2$/Vsec.

Amorphous In-Ga-Zn-O (a-IGZO) thin film transistors, because of their relatively low mobility, have limits in attempts to fulfill high-end specifications for display backplanes. In-Zn-O (IZO) is a promising semiconductor material for high mobility device applications with excellent transparency to visible light region and low temperature process capability. In this paper, the effects of working pressure on the physical and electrical properties of IZO films and thin film transistors are investigated. The working pressure is modulated from 2 mTorr to 5 mTorr, whereas the other process conditions are fixed. As the working pressure increases, the extracted optical band gap of IZO films gradually decreases. Absorption coefficient spectra indicate that subgap states increase at high working pressure. Furthermore, IZO film fabricated at low working pressure shows smoother surface morphology. As a result, IZO thin film transistors with optimum conditions exhibit excellent switching characteristics with high mobility (≥ 30㎠/Vs) and large on/off ratio.

$WO_3/Ag/WO_3$ multilayer was researched by using RF magnetron sputtering with transparent electrode. Process gas flow ratio with $Ar/O_2$ were selected the optimum conditions at 70sccm/2sccm and $WO_3$ thin film at its conditions was appeared at transmittance about 80% in the visible light region to the average. $WO_3/Ag/WO_3$ multilayer thin films were fabricated from the same process condition which was the same gas flow ratio of Ar and $O_2$ $WO_3/Ag/WO_3$ thin films were appeared transmittance about 93% and sheet resistance about $6.41{\Omega}/{\square}$.

TO:F($SnO_{2}:F$) thin films were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering system. The dependence of their structural, electrical, and optical properties on deposition conditions such as substrate temperature, working pressure and power was studied. The optimum conditions of TO:F thin film are $SnF_{2}$ content of 15wt.% in target, RF power of 150W, substrate temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ and working pressure of 2mmTr. The resistivity and transmittance at 550nm in visible spectrum of the TO:F film deposited at optimum condition are $9{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and above 85%, respectively. For the films deposited from the target without $SnF_{2}$ and with 15wt.% $SnF_{2}$, the optical bandgaps calculated from the transmittance curves are 3.84 and 3.9eV, respectively. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that TO and TO:F films had tetragonal rutile structure with (101), (200) direction.

In this work, $IrO_2$thin films as bottom electrode of ferroelectric capacitors were deposited and characterized. The $IrO_2$films deposited in the conditions of 25, 40 and 50% oxygen ambient by sputtering method were annealed at 600, 700 and $800^{\circ}C$, respectively. It was found that the crystallinity and the surface morphology of $IrO_2$films affected the surface properties and electrical properties of SBT thin films prepared by the MOD method. With increasing temperature, the crystallinity and the roughness of $IrO_2$films were also increasing. This increasing of roughness degraded the surface properties and electrical properties of SBT films. We found an optimum condition of $IrO_2$films as bottom electrode for ferroelectric capacitor at 50% oxygen ambient and $600^{\circ}C$ annealing temperature. Electrical characterizations were performed by using$ IrO_2$bottom electrodes grown at an optimum conditions. The remanent polarization ($P_{r}$) of the Pt/SBT/$IrO_2$/$SiO_2$/Si structure was 2.75 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at an applied voltage of 3 V. The leakage current density was $1.06${\times}$10^{-3}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at an applied voltage of 3 V.

The (SrCa)$TiO_3$(SCT) thin films were deposited on Pt-coated electrode(Pt/TiN/$SiO_2$/Si) using RF sputtering method according to the deposition condition. The crystallinity of SCT thin films were increased with increase of deposition temperature in the temperature range of $100{\sim}500[^{\circ}C]$. The optimum conditions of RF power and Ar/$O_2$ ratio were 140[W] and 80/20, respectively. Deposition rate of SCT thin films was about $18.75[{\AA}/min]$ at the optimum condition. The composition of SCT thin films deposited on Si substrate is close to stoichiometry (1.081 in A/B ratio). The maximum dielectric constant of SCT thin film was obtained by annealing at $600[^{\circ}C]$.
