Hydroxyapatite films were prepared on Si(100) substrates by using a sol-gel method with calcium nitrate and phosphoric acid as starting materials. Precursor sols were spin-coated onto the substrates and prefired at $500^{\circ}C$ for 10 min in air. Formation of the hydroxypatite structure was confirmed in the sample annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ by the X-ray diffraction $\theta$-2$\theta$ scans and a tricalcium phosphate phase was observed in the samples annealed at both temperature regions of $500^{\circ}C$~$700^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$. From the results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the change of a carbon content and improvement of crystallinity have been discussed as a function of increase of annealing temperature.

$(Ba_{0.6},Sr_{0.3}Ca_{0.1})TiO_3$ powders, which were prepared by sol-gel method using a solution of Ba-acetate, Sr-acetate and Ca-acetate and Ti iso-propoxide, $(Ba_{0.6},Sr_{0.3}Ca_{0.1})TiO_3$ array thick films doped with 0.1 mol% $MnCO_3$ and $Yb_2O_3$ (0.1~0.7 mol%) were fabricated by the screen printing method on the alumina substrate. And the structural and electrical properties as a function of $Yb_2O_3$ amount were investigated. The thickness of all (Ba,Sr,Ca)$TiO_3$ thick films was approximately 60mm. The Curie temperature of doped with 0.1 mol% $Yb_2O_3$ specimen was $45^{\circ}C$, and the dielectric constant and at this temperature was 1062.

In this study, AlN powder of fine particle size and of high purity was synthesized by the carbothermal reduction-nitridation of monodisperse, spherical Al(OH)3 which had been prepared by sol-gel method using Al(O-sec-C4H9)3 as the starting material. Depending on the mixing order and kinds of reducing agents, the optimum condition for the preparation of AlN was determined as follows. AlN single-phase was produced by the carbothermal reduction-nitridation of (1) Benzene-washed Al(OH)3 and the reducing agent, carbon, which was mixed in a ball mill: for 5 hours at 140$0^{\circ}C$ under NH3 atmosphere; (2) The mixture prepared by hydrolysis of alkoxide solution into which carbon had been dispersed beforehand: for 5 hours at 135$0^{\circ}C$ ; (3) Al(OH)3 Poly(furfuryl alcohol) composite powder: for 2.5 hours at 135$0^{\circ}C$; (4) The mixture of Al(OH)3 and polyacrylonitrile: for 5 hours at 140$0^{\circ}C$. Addition of CaF2 increased the nitridation rate when carbon or polyacrylonitrile was used as the reducing agent; but it had no effect on the nitridation rate when furfuryl alcohol was used as the reducing agent.

ACF and $WO_3$ modified $TiO_2$ composites (ACF/$WO_3$/$TiO_2$) were prepared using a sol-gel method. The composites were characterized by Brunauer.Emmett.Teller (BET) surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. A methyl orange (MO) solution under visible light irradiation was used to determine the photocatalytic activity. The degradation of the MO was determined using UV/Vis spectrophotometry. An increase in photocatalytic activity was observed and attributed to an increase of the photo-absorption effect by the $WO_3$ and the cooperative effect of the ACF.

The heterolayered PZT/PT thick films were fabricated by two different methods - thick films of the PZT by screen printing method on alumina substrates electrodes with Pt, thin films of $PbTiO_3$ by the spin coating method on the PZT thick films and once more thick films of the PZT by the screen printing method on the $BaTiO_3$ layer The structural and the dielectric properties were investigated for effect of various stacking sequence of sol-gel prepared $PbTiO_3$ coating solution at interface of the PZT thick films. The insertion of $PbTiO_3$ interlayer yielded the PZT thick films with homogeneous and dense grain structure with the number of $PbTiO_3$ layers. The leakage current density of the PZT/$PbTiO_3-1$ film is less that $4.41{\times}10^{-9}\;A/cm^2$ at 5 V.

The high permittivity are applied to DRAM and FRAM. (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ (EST) thin films were prepared by Sol-Gel method. BST solution was made and spin-coated on $Pt/SiO_2/Si$ substrate at 4000 [rpm] for 10 seconds in a time coating. Coated specimens were dried at $90[^{\circ}C]$ for 5 minutes. Coating process was repeated from 3 times to 5 times and then sintered at $750[^{\circ}C]$ for 30 minutes. Each specimen was analyzed structure and electrical characteristics. Thickness of BST ceramics thin films are about 2600-2800[$\AA$] in 3 times. Dielectric constant of thin films was little decreased at 1[KHz]~1[MHz]. Dielectric constant and loss to frequency were 250 and 0.02 in BST3. The property of leakage current was stable When the applied voltage was 0~3[V] Leakage current was $10^{9}\sim10^{11}$[A] at 0~3[V].

Recently, the ceramics of high permittivity are applied to DRAM and FRAM. In this study, (Ba, Sr)$TiO_3$ (BST) ceramics thin films were prepared by Sol-Gel method. BST solution was made and spin-coated on Pt/$SiO_2$/Si substrate at 4000 [rpm] for 10 seconds. Coated specimens were dried at $150[^{\circ}C]$ for 5 minutes. Coating process was repeated 3 times and then sintered at $750[^{\circ}C]$ for 30 minutes. Each specimen was analyzed structure and electrical characteristics by Fractal Process. Thickness of BST ceramics thin films are about $2000{\AA}$. Dielectric constant and loss of thin films was little decreased at 1[KHz] - 1[MHz]. Dielectric constant and loss to frequency were 250 and 0.02 in BST3. The property of leakage current as the realation between the current and the voltage was that change of the leakage current was stable when the applied voltage was 0~3[V].

We investigated the influence of the indium content on the threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) shift of sol-gel-derived indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs). Surplus indium composition ratio into IGZO decreases the value of $V_{th}$ of IGZO TFTs showed huge $V_{th}$ shift in the negative direction. $V_{th}$ shift decreases from 10 to -28.2V as Indium composition ratio is increased. Because the free electron density is increased according to variation of the Indium composition ratio.

$(Ba_{0.6},Sr_{0.3},Ca_{0.1})TiO_3$ powders, which were prepared by sol-gel method using a solution of Ba-acetate, Sr-acetate and Ca-acetate and Ti iso-propoxide, were mixed with organic vehicle and the BSCT thick films were fabricated by the screen-printing techniques on high purity alumina substrates. The structural and dielectirc properties were investigated for various $Pr_2O_3$ and $Y_2O_3$doping contents. As a result of thermal analysis of $(Ba_{0.6},Sr_{0.3},Ca_{0.1})TiO_3$ powders, the exothermic peak was observed at around $670^{\circ}C$ due to the formation of the polycrystalline perovskite phase. All BSCT thick films, sintered at $1420^{\circ}C$ for 2h, showed the typical XRD patterns of perovskite polycrystalline structure. The average grain size of the specimens decreased with amount of $Pr_2O_3$ and $Y_2O_3$ contents.

The proposed stretchable transparent electrodes based on silver nanowires (AgNWs) were prepared on a polyurethane (PU) substrate. In order toavoid the surface roughness caused by the silver nanowires, a titanium oxide ($TiO_2$) buffer layer was addedby coating and heating the organometallic sol-gel solution. The fabricated stretchable electrodes showedan electrical sheet resistance of $24{\Omega}sq^{-1}$, 78% transmittance at 550 nm, and an average surface roughness below 5 nm. Furthermore, the AgNW-based electrode maintained its initial electrical resistance under 130% strain testing conditions, without the assistance of additional conductive polymer layers. In this paper, the critical role of the $TiO_2$ buffer layer between the AgNW network and the PU substrate has been discussed.
