The $Sr_{0.7}Bi_{2.3}Nb_{2}O_{9}$(SBN) thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode(Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si) using RF sputtering method at various deposition temperature. The optimum conditions of RF power and Ar/$O_2$ ratio were 60[W] and 70/30, respectively. Deposition rate of SBN thin films was about 4.17[nm/min]. The crystallinity of SBN thin films were increased with increase of deposition temperature in the temperature range of $100{\sim}400[^{\circ}C]$, the surface rougness showed about 4.33[nm]. The capacitance of SBN thin films were increased with the increase of deposition temperature.

A space charge model for semiconductor reduced gas sensors has been roposed and applied to gas sensing mechanism. SnO2-x and SnO2-x/Pt thin film were deposited by vacuum evaporating method. And Hall effect and gas sensitivity characteristics of these sensors were measured. From the space charge model and carrier concentration, the number of the adsorbed gas atom on the solid surface was calculated quantitatively. The gas sensing model was compared with CO gas sensitivities of the fabricated thin film gas sensors.

The fabricated La-modified lead titanate (PLT) thin film without poling treatment was investigated for modulation frequency dependence of pyroelectric properties by the dynamic method. $Pb_{l-x}La_{x}Ti_{l-x/4}O_3$(x=0.1) (PLT(10)) thin film haying 10 mol% La content was deposited on a Pt/$TiO_{x}$/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by sol-gel method. The PLT(10) thin film exhibits a relatively excellent dielectric property. The pyroelectric coefficient (p) of the PLT(10) thin film is 6.6 x $10^{-9}C$$textrm{cm}^2$$.$K without frequency dependence. The figure of merits for the voltage responsivity and specific detectivity are 1.03 x $10^{-11}C$.cm/J and 1.46 x $10^{-10}C$.cm/J, respectively The PLT(10) thin film has voltage responsivity (RV) of 5.IS V/W at 8 Hz. Noise equivalent power (NEP) and specific detectivity ($D^{*}$) of the PLT(10) thin film are 9.93 x $10^{-8}$W/$Hz^{1/2}$ and 1.81 x $10^{6}$cm.$Hz^{1/2}$/W at the same frequency of 100 Hz,, respectively The results means that PLT thin film having 10 mol% La content is suitable for the sensing materials of pyroelectric IR sensors.

Thin films of polyaniline (PANI) salts were in situ deposited on a Pt plate during either chemical polymerization or electrochemical polymerization. The oxidation states of the salt films were controlled by the applied DC potential. AC impedance of the Pt/PANI electrode were measured in monomer-free 1 N HCl solution in order to investigate the electrodic properties of the films at the following applied DC potentials: 0, 0.45 and 0.75 V vs. SCE. Very small differences in film conductivity according to its oxidation state were observed by analysis of the impedance spectra, the reasons of which are complicated by enriched water content in the film and possible decrease in the film thickness during the measurements. The electrochemical activity of the film/solution interface varied with its oxidation state. Stability of the film in 1 N HCl solution was also evaluated by impedance and cyclic voltammetry measurements.

Inductively coupled plsama etching of platinum thin film was studied using $O_2$ addition to $Cl_2$/Ar gas plasma. In this study, Pt etching mechanism was investigated with Ar/$Cl_2$ /$O_2$ gas plasma by using XPS and QMS. Ion current density was measured with Ar/$Cl_2$ /$O_2$ gas plasma by using single Langmuir probe. It was confirmed by using QMS and single Langmuir probe that Cl and Ar species rapidly decreased and ion current density was also decreased with increasing $O_2$ gas ratios. These results implied that the decrease of Pt etch rate is due to the decrease of reactive species ans ion current density with increasing $O_2$ gas mixing ratios. A maximum etch rate of 150nm/min and the oxide selectivity of 2.5 were obtained at Ar/$Cl_2$ /$O_2$ flow rate of 50 seem, RF power of 600 W, dc bias voltage of 125 V, and the total pressure of 10 mTorr.

In this work, to detect of hydrogen in DI water in the generator area of nuclear power plants was fabricated Pd/Pt gate MISFET sensor using Pd membrane. $H_2$ permeation through Pd accounts for external mass transfer, surface adsorption and desorption, transitions to and from the bulk metal, and diffusion within the metal. The identification of pinholes in the generator area of plant is an important safety consideration, as hydrogen build-up gives rise to explosion. For this type of application the sensor needs to be isolated in DI water, accordingly, a Pd membrane was used to separate the DI water. The hydrogen in the DI water was then absorbed on the Pd thin film and diffused into the oil through the thin film. The Pd/Pt gate MISFET sensor, encapsulated by oil, will thereby detect permeated hydrogen.

Etching characteristics of (Pb,Sr)$TiO_3$(PST) thin films were investigated using inductively coupled chlorine based plasma system as functions of gas mixing ratio, RF power and DC bias voltage. It was found that increasing of hi content in gas mixture lead to sufficient increasing of etch rate and selectivity of PST to Pt. The maximum etch rate of PST film is $562{\AA}/min$ and the selectivity of PST film to Pt is 0.8 at $Cl_2/(Cl_2+Ar)$ of 20 %. It was Proposed that sputter etching is dominant etching mechanism while the contribution of chemical reaction is relatively low due to low volatility of etching products.

Tb-doped lead zirconate titanate(Pb(Zr$\_$0.6/,Ti$\_$0.4/)O$_3$; PZT) thin films on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si(100) substrates were fabricated by the sol-gel method. The effect on the structural and electrical properties of films measured according to Tb content. The dielectric and ferroelectric properties of Tb-doped PZT thin films were altered significantly by Tb-doping. The PZT thin film with higher dielectric constant and improved leakage current characteristic was obtained by adding 0.3 mol% Tb. The relative dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the 0.3 mol% Tb-doped PZT thin film were 1611 and 0.024, respectively. Typical value of the swichable remanent poaraization(2Pr) and the coercive filed of the PZT film capacitor for 0.3 mol% Tb-doped were 61.4 ${\mu}$C/cm$^2$ and 61.9 kV/cm, respectively. Tb-doped PZT thin films showed improved fatigue characteristics comparing to the undoped PZT thin film.

PLZT thin films were fabricated with different Zr/Ti ratios by pulsed laser deposition. PLZT films deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate. This PLZT thin films of 5000$\AA$ thickness were crystallized at $600^{\circ}C$, $O_2$ pressure 200m Torr. 2/55/45 PLZT thin film showed a maximum dielectric constant value of $\varepsilon$\ulcorner=1550 and dielectric loss was 0.03 at 10kHz. At 2/70/30 PLZT thin film, coercive field and remnant polarization was respectively 19[kV/cm], 8[$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$]. Raman spectroscopy results showed that the bands of spectra became broader as the amount of Zr mol% increased and two crystal phase coexisted at 2/55/45 PLZT film. Raman spectroscopy was useful for crystal structure analysis of PLZT thin films.
