In this work, PZT(20/80)/(80/20) heterolayered thin film that has the tetragonal and rhombohedral structure was fabricated by Sol-Gel method spin-coated on the Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by turns. The thickness of PZT-1 film obtained by six-times of drying/sintering process was about 480[nm]. This procedure was repeated several times to form PZT heterolayered thim film. PZT-5 thin films with top layer of tetragonal PZT(20/80) thin film showed dense grain structure and PZT-6 thin film with top layer of rhombohedral PZT(80/20) thin film showed the microstructure without rosette. Dielectric constant increased with increasing the number of coatings, and it was about 13S5 at PZT-6 thin film. Dielectric loss was not depend on the number of coatings.

The electrical properties of sputtered GDC thin films on $Al_2O_3$ substrates was studied. The electrical properties of the films were measured to evaluate the ion conductivity of GDC thin films for co-planar SOFC electrolytes. The impedance of the GDC thin films on $Al_2O_3$ substrates was affected by the film thickness and the impedance of thin film exhibited higher value than thick films. Similarly, the conductivity of the thick film showed much higher value than thin films. It indicated that the film thickness is the main factor affecting the conductivity and impedance of the GDC electrolyte for the co-planar SOFC.

Polycrystalline ZnO and Ga doped ZnO (GZO) films are deposited on glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The characteristics of ZnO and GZO films are investigated with X-ray diffraction measurement, UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer $(250{\sim}1200nm)$ and hall measurement. The post-growth thermal treatment of these films is carried out in N2 ambient at $500^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and an hour. ZnO and GZO films have different changing behavior of structural and optical properties by annealing. To use transparent conductive films for solar cell, films should have not only high transmittance but also good electrical property. Although as deposited GZO films have electrical properties than ZnO films, GZO films have not good transmittance properties. Consequently, we succeed that the high transmittance of GZO films is improved by annealing process.

We have fabricated ZnO thin film on $Pt/TiO-2/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by the sol-gel method and have investigated the effect of annealing temperature on the structural morphology and optical properties of ZnO thin films. The ZnO thin film annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ exhibits the highest c-axis orientation and its FWHM of X-ray peak is $0.4360^{\circ}C$. In the results of surface morphology investigation of ZnO thin film by using Am it is observed that ZnO thin film annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ exhibits the largest UV (ultraviolet) exciton emission at around 378nm and the smallest visible emission at around 510nm among these of ZnO thin films annealed at various temperatures. It is deduced that the ZnO thim film annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ is formed most stoichiometrically since the visible emission at around 510nm comes from oxygen vacancy or impurities.

The low-field tunnel-type magnetoresistance (MR) properties of sol-gel derived $La_{0.7}Pb_{0.3}MnO_3(LPMO)$ thin film deposited on different substrate have been investigated. Polycrystalline thin films were fabricated by spin-coating on $SiO_2/Si(100)$ substrate and that with yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) buffer layer, while c-axis-oriented thim film was grown on $LaAlO_3(001)$ (LAO) single crystal substrate. The full width half maximum (FWHM) of the rocking curve scan of LPMO/LAO film is $0.32^{\circ}$. Tunnel-type MR ratio is 0.52 % in $LPMO/SiO_2/Si$(100) film and that of $LPMO/YSZ/SiO_2/Si$(100) film is as high as 0.68 %, whereas that of LPMO/LAO(001) film is less than 0.4 % under the applied field of 500 Oe at 300 K. Well-pronounced MR hysteresis was registered with an MR peak in the vicinity of the coercive field. The low-field tunnel-type MR characteristics of thin films deposited on different substrates originates from the behavior of grain boundary properties.

Modified polymer electrolyte membranes were fabricated by the applying dc magnetron sputter-deposited Pd thin layers on the surface of the $Nafion^{TM}$ membranes in argon atmosphere. The Pd thin films were characterized by investigating its morphology, methanol permeability, and protonic conductivity. The performance of a direct methanol fuel cell(DMFC) with the modifed polymer electrolyte membrane was also tested by the measurement of its currents and voltages under flowing methanol. The Pd thin film could be a barrier layer to methanol crossover, but the protonic conductivity of the modified polymer membrane was reduced. By using the modified polymer eletrolyte membranes, both the methanol permeability and the protonic conductivity were decreased with increasing the thickness of Pd thin film. However, the performances of DMFC were almost independent on the thickness of Pd thim films. The efffcts of methanol concentration in a feeding fuels on the protonic conductivity and the cell performance were also investigated.
