The zinc oxide (ZnO) material as the II-VI compound semiconductor is useful in various fields of device applications such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells and gas sensors due to its wide direct band gap of 3.37eV and high exciton binding energy of 60meV at room temperature. In this study, the ZnO nanorods were deposited onto homogenous buffer layer/Si(100) substrates by a hydrothermal synthesis. The Effects of the buffer layer annealing and post annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of ZnO nanorods grown by a hydrothermal synthesis were investigated. For the buffer layer annealing case, the annealed buffer layer surface became rougher with increasing of annealing temperature up to $750^{\circ}C$, while it was smoothed with more increasing of annealing temperature due to the evaporation of buffer layer. It was found that the roughest surface of buffer layer improved the structural and optical properties of ZnO nanorods. For the post annealing case, the hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorods were annealed with various temperatures ranging from 450 to $900^{\circ}C$. Similarly in the buffer layer annealing case, the post annealing enhanced the properties of ZnO nanorods with increasing of annealing temperature up to $750^{\circ}C$. However, it was degraded with further increasing of annealing temperature due to the violent movement of atoms and evaporation. Finally, the buffer layer annealing and post annealing treatment could efficiently improve the properties of hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorods. The morphology and structural properties of ZnO nanorods grown by the hydrothermal synthesis were measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The optical properties were also analyzed by photoluminescence (PL) measurement.

In this study, Al doped ZnO(AZO) thin film were prepared on glass substrates by FTS(Facing Targets Sputtering) system. We investigated electrical, optical and structural properties of AZO thin film with the substrate temperature of the R.T, $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$ and the post-annealing. The crystallinity of AZO thin film was increased with increasing the substrate temperature and post-annealing temperature $600^{\circ}C$. The remarkable change of the resistivity with the substrate temperature didn't found and the resistivity with post-annealing was increased slightly.

We report on variations of electrical properties with different active layer thickness and post-annealing temperature in amorphous In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs). In particular, subthreshold swing (SS) of the IGZO-TFTs was improved as increasing the active layer thickness at an given post-annealing temperature, accompanying the negative shift in turn-off voltage. However, as increasing post-annealing temperature, only turn-off voltage was shifted negatively with almost constant SS value. The effect of the active layer thickness and post-annealing temperature on electrical properties, such as SS, field effect mobility and turn-off voltage in IGZO-TFTs has been explained in terms of the variation of trap density in IGZO channel layer and at gate dielectric/IGZO interface.

Ga doped ZnO thin films were deposited with RF magnetron sputtering on glass substrate without intentional substrate heating and then the effect of post deposition annealing temperature on the structural, optical and electrical properties of the films was investigated. The post deposition annealing process was conducted for 30 minutes in a vacuum of $1{\times}10^{-3}$ Torr and the vacuum annealing temperatures were 150 and $300^{\circ}C$, respectively. As increase annealing temperature, GZO films show the increment of the prefer orientation of ZnO (002) diffraction peak in the XRD pattern and the optical transmittance in a visible wave region was also increased, while the electrical sheet resistance was decreased. The figure of merit obtained in this study means that GZO films which vacuum annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ have the highest optoelectrical performance in this study.

In order to study the influence of post-annealing treatment on the frequency characteristics of the Li doped ZnO(Li:ZnO) FBAR(Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) device, we investigated the material and electrical properties of Li:ZnO films in the annealing temperature range from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$. In our samples, as annealing temperature was increased, Li:ZnO films showed the improvement of high c-axis orientation and resistance value with relieved stress and low surface roughness. In addition to, the return loss in the frequency property of fabricated FBAR was improved by annealing treatment from 24.9 to 29.8dB. From experimental results, the optimum post-annealing temperature for FBAR is $500^{\circ}C$ and it can obtain excellent Li:ZnO FBAR performance with stronger c-axis orientation, smoother surface, relieved stress, and lower loss factor.

Ferroelectric $Bi_{3.25}Nd_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$(BNdT) thin films were proposed for capacitor of FeRAM. The BNdT thin films were grown on Pt/Ti $SiO_2/P-Si(100)$ substrates by the RF magnetron sputtering deposition. The dielectric properties of the BNdT were investigated by varying post-annealing temperatures. Increasing post-annealing temperature, the (117) peak was increased. An increase of rod type grains of BNdT films with increasing post-annealing temperature was observed by the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FE-SEM). The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the BNdT thin films with post-annealing temperature of $700^{\circ}C$ were 418 and 0.37, respectively.

ITO (Indium-tin-oxide) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by a dc magnetron sputtering system using ITO powder target. The methods of heat treatment are important factor to obtain high quality ITO films with low electrical resistivity and good optical transmittance. Therefore, both methods of the substrate temperature and post-deposition annealing temperature have been compared on the film structural, electrical and optical properties. A preferred orientations shifts from (411) to (222) peak at annealing temperature of 200$\^{C}$. Minimum resistivity of ITO film is approximately 8.7$\times$10$\^$-4/ Ωcm at substrate temperature of 450$\^{C}$. Optical transmittances at post annealing temperature above 200$\^{C}$ are 90%. As a result, the minimum value of annealing temperature that is required for the recrystallization of as-deposited ITo thin films is 200$\^{C}$.

본 연구에서는 Poly (3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT):[6,6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)과 GaN를 이용하여 유무기 하이브리드 광전변환소자를 제작함에 있어서, P3HT:PCBM 활성층의 열처리가 소자의 단락전류밀도에 미치는 영향을 알아보았으며 이때 유기물의 농도와 혼합비율을 달리 하였다. 유기물 각각의 층을 코팅하여 층을 만들 때마다 열처리 한 경우, 즉 pre-annealing샘플과 pre-annealing 과정을 거쳐 제작된 소자 전체를 한 번 더 열처리하여 즉 post-annealing까지 행한 샘플을 비교하였다. 그 결과 post-annealing한 샘플이 더 높은 단락전류밀도의 값을 가졌고 이때 P3HT와 PCBM은 1wt%와 1:1 혼합비율에서 좋은 열처리 효과를 나타내었다.

We investigated the effects of $O_2$ annealing (i.e., temperature and time) on the characteristics of hafnium silicate ($HfSi_xO_y$) films deposited on a Si substrate by atomic layer deposition process (ALD). We found that the post deposition annealing under oxidizing ambient causes the oxidation of residual Hf metal components, resulting in the improvement of electrical characteristics (e.g., hysteresis window and leakage current are decreased). In addition, we observed the annealing temperature is more important than the annealing time for post deposition annealing. Based on these observations, we suggest that post deposition annealing under oxidizing ambient is necessary to improve the electrical characteristics of $HfSi_xO_y$ films deposited by ALD. However, the annealing temperature has to be carefully controlled to minimize the regrowth of interfacial oxide, which degrades the value of equivalent oxide thickness.

The effects of deposition temperature and post annealing process of ferroelectric PbZr$\sub$0.52/Ti$\sub$0.48/O$_3$(PZT) thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were investigated. The PZT thin films were deposited at 400, 450, 500, and 550$^{\circ}C$, with/without post annealing at 650$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The PZT thin films deposited above 500$^{\circ}C$ without post annealing were crystallized into peroveskite phase, but the PZT thin films deposited below 450$^{\circ}C$ had pyrochlore phase. The PZT thin films deposited below 450$^{\circ}C$ with post annealing also crystallized into pure perovskite. Compared to the PZT thin films which were deposited at 450$^{\circ}C$ and post annealed, the films deposited at 550$^{\circ}C$ have a columnar microstructure and high remnant polarization 28 (${\mu}$C/cm$^2$). With in-situ annealing at oxygen ambient, the PZT thin films reduced oxygen vacancies and increased retained polarization.
