$Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ (BIT) and $(Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75})(Ti_{2.97}V_{0.03})O_{12}$ (BLTV) thin films were deposited on ITO/glass substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using ultrasonic spraying. After deposition of the films in oxygen atmosphere for 30 min, the films were heated by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) method, especially direct insertion, at various temperatures. The films were investigated on phase formation temperature, microstructure and electrical properties. From x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, the perovskite phase formation temperature of BLTV thin film was about $600^{\circ}C$ which was lower than that of BIT, $650^{\circ}C$. The leakage current of the BLTV thin film was measured to be $1.52\times 10^{-9}$A/$cm^2$ at an applied voltage of 1 V. The remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) values of the BLTV film deposited at $650^{\circ}C$ were $5.6\muC/cm^2$ and 96.5 kV/cm, respectively.

A stoichimetric mixture of evaporating materials for $AgInS_2$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films. $AgInS_2$mixed crystal was deposited on thorughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $680^{\circ}C$ and $410^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of $AgInS_2$ single crystal the films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $9.35\times 10^{16}/\terxtm{cm}^3$ and $294\terxtm{cm}^2$/V.s at 293 K, respectively. From the optical absorption measurement the temperature dependence of the energy band gap on AgInS$_2$ single crystal thin film was found to be $E_g$(T)= 2.1365eV-($9.89\times 10^{-3}eV/T^2$/(2930+T). After the as-grown $AgInS_2$ single crystal thin films was annealed in $Ag^-S^-$ and In-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of AgInS$_2$ single crystal the films has been investigated by using the photoluminescence(PL) at 10K. The native defects of $V_{Ag},V_s, Ag_{int}$ and $S_{int}$ int/ obtained from PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the S-atmosphere converted $AgInS_2$ single crystal thin films to an optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that In in $AgInS_2$ /GaAs did not form the native defects because In is $AgInS_2$ single crystal thin films did exist in the form of stable bonds.

New process consisting of electrospray and epitaxial crystal growth processes was applied to the preparation of c-plane oriented barium ferrite ($BaFe_{12}O_{19}$) thin film for high density magnetic recording media. Sodium citrate aided process was proper to preparation of amorphous $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ nanoparticles with geometric mean diameter of 3 nm and geometric standard deviation of 1.1. The electrospray was applicable to the prepare of amorphous $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ thin film on a substrate, and the film thickness could be controlled by adjusting the electrospray deposition time. The c-plane oriented $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ thin film was successfully prepared by 3 step annealing process of the $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ amorphous film on a sapphire($Al_2O_3$) substrate; annealing at $350^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, and annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 60 min.

Ozone is useful oxidizing gas for the fabrication of BSCCO thin films. In order to obtain high quality oxide BSCCO thin films, higher ozone concentration is necessary. The growth rates of the films was set in the region from 0.17 to 0.27 nm/min. MgO(100) was used as a substrate. In this paper oxidation property was evaluated relation between oxide gas pressure and inverse temperature(CuO reaction). The obtained condition was formulated by the fabrication of Cu metal thin film by co-deposition using the Ion Beam Sputtering method. Because the CuO phase peak appeared at the XRD evaluation of the CuO thin film using ozone gas, this study has succeeded in the fabrication of the CuO phase at $825^{\circ}C$.

The heteroepitaxial ZnO thin film on sapphire (0001) substrate was prepared by an off-axis Radio Frequency(RF) magnetron sputtering. The crystallinity of ZnO thin film was affected by deposition pressure, RF power, and substrate temperature. High quality heteroepitaxial ZnO thin film was obtained when the kinetic energy of sputtered particles is well harmonized with the surface mobility. In the result of Photoluminescence(PL) of heteroepitaxial ZnO thin film, Ultraviolet(UV) emissions at 3.36 and 3.28 eV were observed at low(17 K) and Room Temperature(RT). respectively. As the ZnO thin film was annealed in O$_2$ambient, the crystallinity was improved while UV emission was drastically decreased.

The tungsten bronze type of strontium barium niobate(SBN) thin film was synthesized by metal organic decomposion method for SBN stock solution and the SBN thin film process were deposited by spin-coating process on Pt-deposited si-wafer(100) by magnetron sputtering system. The thickness of SBN thin film was 150~200 nm and were optimized for rpm of spin-coater system. The structural variation of SBN thin film was studied by TG-DTA and XRD. The deposited SBN stock solution on annealing at $400{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ a pure tungsten bronze SBN phase and the corresponding. average grain size about 500~1000 nm influenced by annealing temperature. The piezoelectric properties of prepared SBN thin film, the remanent polarization value(2Pr) and coercive field was $1.2{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 2.15V/cm, respectively.

We adopted the $Pt/SiO_{2}/Si$ and the $Ir/SiO_{2}/Si$ substrates of which buffer layer is $PbTiO_{3}$ to improve electrode and interfacial properties of PZT thin film deposited by reactive sputtering method using metal target in this study. We got PZT thin film to have highly oriented(100) structure and good crystallinity using buffer layer in Pt bottom-electrode, though randomly oriented PZT thin film was obtained without buffer layer. Although great improvement of PZT phase formation on Ir bottom-electrode with buffer layer was not observed, we observed the increase of remennant polarization and the decrease of coercive field compared with properties of PZT thin films on the Pt bottom-electrode. So we got the results of the increase of dielectric constant using buffer layer on fabrication of PZT thin film and the better dielectric properties in PZT thin film using Ir bottom-electrode compared with that using Pt bottom-electrode.

This paper presents direct ${\mu}c$-Si:H thin film growth on the glass substrates using RPCVD system (remote plasma chemical vapor deposition) in low temperature. Hydrogenated micro-crystalline silicon deposited by RPCVD system in low temperature is very useful material for photovoltaic devices, sensor applications, and TFTs (thin film transistors). Varying the deposition conditions such as substrate temperature, gas flow rate, reactive gas ratio $(SiH_4/H_2)$, total chamber pressure, and rf power, we deposited ${\mu}c$-Si:H thin films on the glass substrates (Corning glass 1737). And then we measured the structural and electrical properties of the films.

Fe$_2$O$_3$ thin films were prepared on $Al_2$O$_3$ substrate by PECVD(Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) process. The phase transformation of iron oxide film was determined as the substrate temperature and reduction-oxidation process. $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ was stable in deposition temperature ranges of 80~15$0^{\circ}C$. Fe$_3$O$_4$ phase was obtained by the reduction process of $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ phase in H$_2$ ambient. Fe$_3$O$_4$ phase was transformed into a ${\gamma}$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ thin film under controlled oxidation conditions at 280~30$0^{\circ}C$.
