The characterization of organic Metal/Insulator/Metal(MIM) devices were investigated from LB films. The physicochemical properties of the LB films were by UV absorption spectrum and AFM. We give pressure stimulation into organic thin films and then manufacture a device under the accumulation condition that the state surface pressure is 2, 10, 30[mN/ml The stable images are probably due to a strong interaction between the monolayer film and glass substrate. We are unable to obtain molecule resolution in images of the films but did see a marked contrast between images of the bare substrate and those with the network structure film deposited onto it.

Material and electrical characteristies of copper thin films prepared by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) have been investigated for interconnection applications in ultra large scale integration circuits (ULSI). The copper films have been deposited a TiN substrates using a metal organic precursor, hexafluoro acetylacetonate trimethyvinylsilane copper, VTMS(hfac)Cu (I). Deposition rate, grain size, surface morphology, and electrical resistvity of the copper films have been measuredfrom samples prepared at various experimental conditions, which include substrate temperature, chamber pressure, and carrier gas flow rate. Results of the experiment showed that the electrical property of the copper films is closely related to the crystallinity of the films. Lowest electrical resistivity, $2.4{\mu}{\Omega}.cm$ was obtained at the substrate temperature of $180^{\circ}C$, but the resistivity slightly increased with increasing substrate temperature due to the carbon content along the copper grain boundaries.

Organic thin films were fabricated an using interelectrode capacitively coupled type plasma polymerizaion apparatus, and their optical properties were investigated. A deposition rate of styrene thin films is linearly increased, but one or vinyl-pyridine thin films is nonlinearly increased with increasing of polymerization time, pressure and monomer flow rate. The transmittance of single layer thin films is constant, but that of multi-layer appeared irregular peak with increasing of the number of layers. And then the refractive index of organic thin films is various from 1.55 to 1.65 with wavelength, the extinction coefficient indicated $10^{-3}$.

In this paper, the organic material Poly(methyl methacrylate) PMMA is used with inorganic $Al_2O_3$ to fabricate organic-inorganic multilayer barrier thin films. The organic thin films are developed using a roll-to-roll electrohydrodynamic atomization system, whereas the inorganic are grown using a roll-to-roll low-temperature atmospheric pressure atomic layer deposition system. For the first time, these two technologies are used together to develop organic-inorganic multilayer barrier thin films in atmospheric condition. The films are grown under optimized parameters and classified into three classes based on the layer structures, when the total thickness of the barrier is maintained at ~ 160 nm. All classes of barriers show good morphological, optical and chemical properties. The $Al_2O_3$ films with a low average arithmetic roughness of 1.58 nm conceal the non-uniformity and irregularities in PMMA thin films with a roughness of 5.20 nm. All classes of barriers show a notably good optical transmission of ~ 85 %. The hybrid organic-inorganic barriers show water vapor and oxygen permeation in the range of ${\sim}3.2{\times}10^{-2}g/m^2/day$ and $0.015cc/m^2/day$ at $23^{\circ}C$ and 100% relative humidity. It has been confirmed that it can be mass-produced and used as a low-cost barrier thin film in various printing electronic devices.

In this work, we carried out the variation of surface characteristics of organic polymer films by O2 plasma. The plasma diagnostics were performed by DLP(Double Langmuir Probe) and OES(Optical Emission Spectroscopy) measurements. Moreover, variation of surface characteristics were measured by AFM(Atomic Force Microscope), XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), and contact angle goniometer. It was found that the etch rate of organic films was controlled by O radicals flux and dc bias voltage. And O radical density and dc bias voltage increased with increasing bias power. So, it was changed surface energy as a function of surface roughness and O/C ratio in organic films.

We determined the optical constants and thickness of organic electroluminescence thin films using variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry. Using the measured transmittance spectra and the spectroscopic ellipsomeoy data of the organic films on glass substrates in the optically transparent region, we determined the effective thickness and the refractive indices of organic thin films. Then by applying a numerical inversion method to variable angle spectro-ellipsometry data, we determined the complex refractive index at each wavelength including the optically absorbing region, as well as the thickness and surface micro-roughness of the organic thin films. The calculated transmittance spectra showed a tight agreement with the measured ones, confining the validity of the present model analysis.

Effects of organic additives on YBCO coated conductor prepared by MOD-TFA method were investigated. YBCO thin films were deposited on (100)-oriented single crystalline LaAlO$_3$substrates by conventional MOD-TFA process. The microstructures of YBCO thin films show labyrinth-like patterns. The origin of this microstructure was delineated by compositional inhomogeneity during the pyrolysis process of MOD process and it was shown that organic additives changes the microstructure and texture development of grown YBCO films

$SrZrO_3 $resistive oxide barriers on Ag sheathed Bi2223 tapes were prepared by the sol-gel and dip coating method to reduce AC coupling loss. The performance of the dip-coated $SrZrO_3 $ thin films was evaluated in terms of bond strength by varying the Sr/Zr mol ratio and the amount of organic vehicle (ethyl cellulose and a-terpineol) additives. The bond strength of the coatings increased as the Sr/Zr ratio decreased and the amount of organic vehicle rose, respectively. It was found that the effect of organic vehicle addition was more pronounced, suggesting that the adherence of the $SrZrO_3 $ films on Bi2223 tapes was governed primarily by the amount of organic vehicle additive.

The rheological changes in sensitive materials was investigated by using QCA. Langmuir-Blodgett method was used to transfer sensitive material to the quartz crystals because of its facility to control the thickness. To develop gas sensor using quartz crystal, the rheological change of sensitive LB films were observed using the resonant resistance concept. And the rheological changes as to adsorption of organic vapours were used to analyze the response mechanism between organic vapours and sensitive LB films. We considered with resonant frequency of quartz crystal to obtain one-channel gas sensor and analytical tools of organic vapours response. In our results, we analyzed the organic vapours response by the rheological changes and mass loading as to adsorption of organic vapours.

The response properties of quartz crystal coated with stearic acid LB films to organic gases were investigated by measuring the shift of resonant frequency. Stearic acid was used as a sensing material and deposited on the surface of quartz crystal using the Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method. The effect of temperature on the quartz crystal coated with stearic acid LB films was also investigated by Scanning Maxwell-stress Microscopy(SMM). As a result, the sensitivity of the quartz crystal coated with LB films to organic gases is dependent on temperature, thickness of LB film and molecular weight of organic gas.
