We investigated the structural and electrical properties of Ce-doped Ba($Zr_{0.2}Ti_{0.8}$)$O_3$(BCZT) thin films with a mole fraction of x=0.2 and a thickness about 100 nm. BCZT films were prepared on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by a RF magnetron sputtering system. We have measured the thickness profile with Ar/$O_2$ ratio and the surface roughness. It was observed that the oxygen gas, which introduced during the film deposition, have an influence on the roughness of the film and the film roughness was reduced by annealing from 2.33 nm to 2.02 m (RMS at $500^{\circ}C$, Ar:6 scrim, $O_2$:6 sccm). We have found that annealing procedure after top electrode deposit can reduce the dissipation factor.

In-situ cleaning and subsequent silicon epitaxial film growth were performed in a load-locked reactor equipped with Hg-grid UV lamp and PBN heater to obtain the smooth and contaminant-free underlying surface and develop low-temperature epitaxial film growth process. The removals of organic and native oxide were investigated using UV-excited $O_2$ and $NF_{3}/H_{2}$, and the effect of the surface condition was examined on the quality of silicon epitaxial film grown at temperature as low as $750^{\circ}C$. UV-excited gas phase cleaning was found to be effective in removing the organic and native oxide successfully providing a smooth surface with RMS roughness of 0.5$\AA$ at optimal condition. Crystalline quality of epitaxial film was determined by smoothness of cleaned surface and the presence of native oxide and impurity. Crystalline defects such as dislocation loops or voids due to the surface roughness were observed by XTEM.

In this work, the yttrium oxide($Y_2O_3$) thin films as the buffer layer were prepared by the simple solution coating and reel-to-reel process on an unpolished metal tape substrate. The $Y_2O_3$ thin films were successfully synthesized by the hydrolysis of yttrium acetate. We have studied the improvement of surface roughness with the concentration of solution(0.1 M, 0.4 M, M) and the number of coatings. The planarization by solution coating process is simple in comparison with the existing polishing process, and it is eco-friendly, and has the benefits of low cost process. The thickness of $Y_2O_3$ films was increased with the $Y_2O_3$ concentration in the solution, and the surface became smoother with the number of coating cycles. Using this process, we have achieved 1.2 nm RMS roughness from a starting roughness of over 31 nm on 25 ${\mu}m^2$ area.

Characteristics of etching and induced surface morphology variation by wet-etching of n-face n-type GaN were investigated using KOH solutions. It was observed that hexagonal pyramids were formed on the etched surface regardless of etching conditions. However, the size of the hexagonal pyramids was changed as the etching time and temperature increased, respectively. Initially, as the etching time and concentration of KOH solution increased, the hexagonal pyramid was observed to be dissociated into smaller pyramids. However, as the etching time increased further, the size of the hexagonal pyramids increased again, indicating that the etching of N-face n-type GaN by KOH solutions proceeded through the evolution of hexagonal pyramids, such as formation, dissociation and enlargement of pyramids. Furthermore, it was also observed that there is a correlation between the photoluminescence intensity of the etched surface and the value of root-mean-square roughness. The intensity of PL increased as the roughness value increased due to the enhancement of the extraction efficiency of the generated photons.

Transparent and conducting titanium (Ti) doped indium oxide (TIO) thin films were deposited on the poly-imide (PI) substrate with radio frequency magnetron sputtering and then electron irradiation was conducted on the TIO film's surface to investigate the effect electron irradiation on the crystallization and opto-electrical properties of the films. All x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed two diffraction peaks of the In₂O₂ (431) and (444) planes with regardless of the electron beam irradiation energy. In the AFM analysis, the surface roughness of as deposited films was 3.29 nm, while the films electron irradiated at 700 eV, show a lower RMS roughness of 2.62 nm. In this study, the FOM of as deposited TIO films is 6.82 × 10^-3 Ω^-1, while the films electron irradiated at 500 eV show the higher FOM value of 1.0 × 10^-2 Ω^-1. Thus, it is concluded that the post-deposition electron beam irradiation at 500 eV is the one of effective methods of crystallization and enhancement of opto-electrical performance of TIO thin film deposited on the PI substrate.

Local M-H loops have been measured on the free layer of a tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) junction using the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) system, with an optical beam size of about 2 $\mu$m diameter. Tunnel junctions were deposited using the DC magnetron sputtering method in a chamber with a base pressure of 3$\times$10$^{-9}$ Torr. The relatively irregular variations of coercive force H$_c$(∼17.5 Oe) and unidirectional anisotropy field H$_{ua}$(∼7.5 Oe) in the as-deposited sample are revealed. After $200{^{\circ}C}$ annealing, He decreases to 15 Oe but H$_{ua}$ increases to 20 Oe with smooth local variations. Two-dimensional plots of H$_c$ and H$_{ua}$ show the symmetric saddle shapes with their axes aligned with the pinned layer, irrespective of the annealing field angle. This is thought to be caused by geometric effects during deposition, together with a minor annealing effect. In addition, the variation of root mean square (RMS) surface roughness reveals it to be symmetric with respect to the center of the pinned-layer axis, with the roughness of 2.5 $\AA$ near the edge and 5.8 $\AA$ at the junction center. Comparison of surface roughness with the variation of H$_{ua}$ suggests that the H$_{ua}$ variation of the free layer is well described by dipole interactions related to surface roughness. As a whole, the reversal magnetization is not uniform over the entire junction area and the macroscopic properties are governed by the average sum of local distributions.

수분류 스프레이 냉각은 많은 산업적인 응용분야에 넓게 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 수분류 스프레이가 표면거칠기가 주어진 $900^{\circ}C$ 고온강판의 표면에 충돌하는 경우, 열유속 및 열전달계수의 정량적인 측정을 통해 표면거칠기가 수분류 스프레이 냉각에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 이 때의 국소 열유속은 시편, 카트리지히터, 열전대의 조합으로 고안된 고유의 열유속게이지를 제작하여 엄밀하게 측정되었다. 평균 표면거칠기 높이를 기준으로 40, 60, $80{\mu}M$의 3 가지 표면과 매끈한 표면에 대한 수분류 스프레이 냉각 의 열전달 현상이 비교 및 평가되었다. 표면거칠기가 주어진 표면에서의 돌출물은 얇은 열 경계층두께를 통과할 수 있기 때문에 표면거칠기가 주어진 경우에 열전달은 뚜렷하게 증가하였고, 표면거칠기의 의한 열전달 향상 기구는 서로 다른 비등영역에 대해 구분하여 조사되었다.

SiC crystal ingots were grown on 6H-SiC dual-seed crystals with different surface roughness and different seed orientation by a PVT (Physical Vapor Transport) method. 4H and 15R-SiC were grown on seed crystal with high root-mean-square (rms) value. The polytype of grown crystal on the seed crystal with lower rms value was confirmed to be 6H-SiC. On the other hand, all SiC crystals grown on seed crystals with different seed orientation were proven to be 6H-SiC. The surface roughness of seed crystals had no effect on the crystal structure of the grown crystals. However, the crystal quality of 6H-SiC single crystals grown on the on-axis seed were revealed to be slightly better than that of 6H-SiC crystal grown on the off-axis seed.
