To obtain available process at low temperature, SiOC thin film was prepared with various flow rates by using the rf magnetron sputtering, and AZO thin film was also deposited on SiOC film by rf magnetron sputtering system. The optical electrical properties of the SiOC film and SiOC/AZO were analyzed by the uv visible spectrometer and PL spectra. SiOC film on n type Si showed various type emission according to the deposition condition. The SiOC film showed the blue shift with increasing the thickness in PL spectra. AZO/SiOC/Si film had a broad emission characteristic, which is enhanced the efficiency in solar cell.

To obtain the transistor with ambipolar transfer characteristics, IGZO/SiOC thin film transistor was prepared on SiOC with various polarities as a gate insulator. The interface between a channel and insulator showed the Ohmic and Schottky contacts in the bias field of -5V ~ +5V. These contact characteristics depended on the polarities of SiOC gate insulators. The transfer characteristics of TFTs were observed the Ohmic contact on SiOC with polarity, but Schottky contact on SiOC with low polarity. The IGZO/SiOC thin film transistor with a Schottky contact in a short range bias electric field exhibited ambipolar transfer characteristics, but that with Ohmic contact in a short range electric field showed unipolar characteristics by the trapping phenomenon due to the trapped ionized defect formation.

The SiOC films were deposited with the variation of flow rate ratios by chemical vapor deposition. It was researched the reason of decreasing the dielectric constant in SiOC film and the relationship between the dielectric constant and the thickness. The thickness of the deposited films tends to in proportion to the refractive index and the sample with the lowest dielectric constant decreased the thickness. The refractive index was decreased after annealing because of the decreasing of the film's thickness by annealing process.

Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films were deposited on SiOC/Si wafer by an RF-magnetron sputtering system, by varying the deposition parameters of radio frequency power from 50 to 200 W. To assess the correlation of the optical properties between the substrate and AZO thin film, photoluminescence was measured, and the origin of deep level emission of AZO thin films grown on SiOC/Si wafer was studied. AZO formed on SiOC/Si substrates exhibited ultraviolet emission due to exciton recombination, and the visible emission was associated with intrinsic and extrinsic defects. For the AZO thin film deposited on SiOC at low RF-power, the deep level emission near the UV region is attributed to an increase of the variations of defects related to the AZO and SiOC layers. The applied RF-power influenced an energy gap of localized trap state produced from the defects, and the gap increased at low RF power due to the formation of new defects across the AZO layer caused by lattice mismatch of the AZO and SiOC films. The optical properties of AZO films on amorphous SiOC compared with those of AZO film on Si were considerably improved by reducing the roughness of the surface with low surface ionization energy, and by solving the problem of structural mismatch with the AZO film and Si wafer.

To obtain a transparent electrode, AZO thin film was deposited on SiOC film with various flow rates by rf magnetron sputtering system. SiOC film was deposited with various DMDMOS/O2 flow rate ratio by CVD, The optical electrical properties of the SiOC film and SiOC/AZO were analyzed by the uv visible spectrometer and 4 point prove system. The reflectance of SiOC/AZO film was changed in compared with that of SiOC film. The resistance was decreased with low RF power because of increasing the concentration of carriers.

To research the characteristics of ITO film depending on a polarity of SiOC, specimens of ITO/SiOC/glass with metal-insulator-substrates (MIS) were prepared using a sputtering system. SiOC film with 17 sccm of oxygen flow rate became a non-polarity with low surface energy. The PL spectra of the ITO films deposited with various argon flow rates on SiOC film as non-polarity were found to lead to similar formations. However, the PL spectra of ITO deposited with various argon flow rates on SiOC with polarity were seen to have various features owing to the chemical reaction between ITO and the polar sites of SiOC. Most ITO/SiOC films non-linearly showed the Schottky contacts and current increased. But the ITO/SiOC film with a low current demonstrated an Ohmic contact.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) films were deposited by an RF magnetron sputtering system with the RF power of 200W and 300W and flow rate of oxygen gases of 20 and 30 sccm, in order to research the growth of ZnO on carbon doped silicon oxide (SiOC) thin film. The reflectance of SiOC film on Si film deposited by the sputtering decreased with increasing the oxygen flow rate in the range of long wavelength. In comparison between ZnO/Si and ZnO/SiOC/Si thin film, the reflectance of ZnO/SiOC/Si film was inversed that of ZnO/Si film in the rage of 200~1000 nm. The transmittance of ZnO film increased with increasing the oxygen gas flow rate because of the transition from conduction band to oxygen interstitial band due to the oxygen interstitial (Oi) sites. The low reflectance and the high transmittance of ZnO film was suitable properties to use for the front electrode in the display or solar cell.

Pentacene channel for organic thin film transistor was deposited on the SiOC film by thermal evaporation. The growth of pentacene is related with the Diels-Alder reaction and the nucleophilic reaction by the thermal induction. The surface is an important factor to control the recursive Diels-Alder reaction for growing of pentacene on SiOC far The terminal C=C double bond of pentacene molecule was broken easily as a result of attack of the nucleophilic reagents on the surface of SiOC film. The nucleophilic reaction can be accelerated by increasing temperature on surface, and it maks pentacene to grow hardly on the SiOC film with a flow rate ratio of $O_2/(BTMSM+O_2)=0.5$ due to its inorganic property. The nucleophlic reaction mechanism is $SN_2(bimolecular nucleophilic substitution)$ type.

The optical properties of AZO thin films prepared by the RF mangnetron sputtering system was studied to research the dependance of chemical properties of substrate. The substrate was the SiOC film deposited by Inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition with various gas flow rate of $O_2$ and Ar (DMDMOS). In accordance with the increase of Ar gas flow rates, the Si-O bond in the SiOC film increased and then progressed the amorphism. The roughness of AZO grown on SiOC film with high degree of amorphism decreased and then improved the flatness of surfaces. Moreover, the ultra violet emission with high intensity was spontaneously induced in the AZO film growed on SiOC film with high degree of amorphism.
