Thin films of SnO2, SnO2-ZnO and ZnO were prepared by the spray. chemical vapor deposition and vacuum evaporation method. They had good sensitivity to various gases involving toxic gases(i. e. SO2, CO). The change in conductivity of thin film guts sensors prepared was considered as the change in carrier concentration caused by gas absorption. And also the conductivity of the thin film elements had great dependence on atmospheric pressuie around them.

$SnO_2$ thin films were deposited on a $SiO_2$/Si substrate with the flow of Ar and $O_2$ of 25 sccm by RF-magnetron sputtering method. the post-annealing was conducted at $500^{\circ}C$ in atmosphere of dry air and $N_2$ were changed fairly, while those annealed in dry air resembled as-deposited films. This may be attributed to the desorption of adsorbed oxygen and the extraction of lattice oxygen during annealing. Resistivity of films annealed in $N_2$ was increased over 5 times than that of as-deposited films. It can be explained that the increment of resistivity may result from the discontinuous conduction path with change of microstructures after annealing in $N_2$.

Antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) thin films, one type of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films, were prepared on a SiO₂-coated glass substrate with different substrate temperatures by a radio-frequency magnetron sputtering system. Structural, optical, and electrical characteristics of the deposited ATO films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, alpha-step, ultraviolet-visible spectrometer, and Hall effect measurement. The substrate temperature during deposition did not affect the basic crystal structure of the films but changed the grain size and film thickness. The optical transmittance of the ATO films deposited at different substrate temperatures was over 70%. The lowest sheet resistance and resistivity were 8.43 × 10² Ω/sq, and 0.3991 × 10^-2 Ω·cm, respectively, and the highest carrier concentration and mobility were 2.36 × 10²¹ cm^-3 and 6.627 × 10^-2 cm²V^-1s^-1, respectively, at a substrate temperature of 400 ℃.

Hydrophilic and transparent $TiO_2$ thin film was fabricated by sol-gel method and the properties of contact angle, surface morphology, and transmittance were measured. In addition, surfactant Tween 80 was used for increasing the hydrophilic property of thin film. When the contents of Tween 80 in $TiO_2$ solution was 0, 10, 30, 50wt%, the contact angles of $TiO_2$ thin film were $41.4^{\circ}$, $18.2^{\circ}$, $16.0^{\circ}$, $13.2^{\circ}$, respectively. Fabricated $TiO_2$ thin film showed the photocatalytic property that decomposed methylene blue and decreased the absorbance of solution after UV irradiation. $TiO_2$ thin films fabricated with the solution of 30 wt% Tween 80 were deposited on glass (bare), antimony tin oxide (ATO), fluorine tin oxide (FTO), indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates, and the contact angle and transmittance of thin film was measured. The contact angles of thin films deposited on four substrates were $16.2\sim27.1^{\circ}$ and was decreased to the range of $13.2\sim17.6^{\circ}$ after UV irradiation, Especially, the thin films coated on ATO and FTO glass substrate showed high transmittance of 74.6% in visible range, respectively, and low transmittance of 54.2% and 40.4% in infrared range, respectively.

We investigated the electrical characteristics of amorphous silicon-zinc-tin-oxide (a-SZTO) thin films deposited by RF-magnetron sputtering at room temperature depending on the deposition time. We fabricated a thin film transistor (TFT) with a bottom gate structure and various channel thicknesses. With increasing channel thickness, the threshold voltage shifted negatively from -0.44 V to -2.18 V, the on current ($I_{on}$) and field effect mobility (${\mu}_{FE}$) increased because of increasing carrier concentration. The a-SZTO film was fabricated and analyzed in terms of the contact resistance and channel resistance. In this study, the transmission line method (TLM) was adopted and investigated. With increasing channel thickness, the contact resistance and sheet resistance both decreased.

In this experiments, tin oxide thin film anode for microbattery was deposited by using RF magnetron sputtering. The RF power and operating pressure during deposition were fixed at $2.5W/cm^2$ and 10mTorr respectively. The partial pressure of oxygen was varied from $0\%\;to\;100\%$ to control oxygen content and metal Sn chips were used further reducing of oxygen content. According to reduction in the oxygen content formation of the irreversible $Li_2O$ was reduced a thin film anode of $SnO_x$ of high capacity was fabricated. The optimum $SnO_x$, thin film was $SnO_{1.43}$ which exhibited a reversible capacity of $ 500{\mu}Ah/cm^2{\mu}m$ and exhibited good reversibility.
