A great deal of research has been done in the field of characterization for piezoelectric thin films after the first report on the measurement for the piezoelectric coefficient of thin films in 1990. The main idea of this research is to provide a distinctive solution for the measurement and standardization of both the longitudinal and the transverse piezoelectric d-coefficients, d33 and d31, of ferroelectric thin films. In general, to get these two coefficients of thin films, two different measuring systems are required. Here, we propose the improved method for the evaluation of these two coefficients with single equipment and with the relatively convenient procedure. The two-step loading process of applying the both positive and the negative pressure has been introduced to acquire the piezoelectric coefficients. These results have been calibrated for both the longitudinal and 4he transverse piezoelectric d-coefficients, d33 and 431, of thin films by comparison with the virtual standard created from FEM. In this experiments, we have obtained d33 of 331pC/N and 031 of -92.2pC/N for the PZT thin films.

The ZnS/CdS thin films were made using 99.99% ZnS and CdS(Aldrich) powders in $7{\times}10^{-6}torr$. The ZnS layer was coated over the CdS layer on an AlOx membrane within a vacuum, at the average speed of $1{\AA}/sec$. After studying the ZnS/CdS and CdS thin films(both with the dimensions of 2.52nm), using fluorescence spectroscopy and comparing the respective results together, we found that although both of the resulting spectra peaked at 390nm, the ZnS/CdS thin films showed a narrower peak, and a higher intensity of photoluminescence than the CdS thin films. The particles of ZnS/CdS thin films also proved to be more homogeneous in size. In addition, the ZnS layer acted as a protective layer. Also, after studying the spectra of ZnS/CdS thin films taken 30 days after their preparation, we found no signs of aging. These results were verified through the scanning electron microscopy(SEM), EDX analysis, thin film X-ray diffraction, and luminescence spectroscopy.

The dielectric properties of $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ ferroelectric thin films have been investigated according to the substrates in order to optimize the their properties. MgO, r-plane sapphire, and poly-crystalline sapphire (Alumina) substrates have been used to deposite $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ ferroelectric thin films by RF magnetron sputtering. The BST thin films deposited on the single crystal (100)MgO substrates have high tunability and low dielectric loss. These results are caused by a low misfit between the lattice parameters of the BST films and the substrate. The BST films deposited on r-plane sapphire have relatively high misfit, and the tunability of 17% and dielectric loss of 0.0007. To improve the dielectric properties of the BST films, the post-annealing methods has been introduced. The BST films deposited on (100)MgO, (1102)r-plane sapphire, and poly-crystalline sapphire substrates have best properties in post-annealing conditions of $1050^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$, and $1150^{\circ}C$, respectively. The different optimal post-annealing conditions have been found according to the different misfits between the films and substrates, and thermal expansion coefficients. Moreover, the films deposited on alumina substrate which is relatively cheap have a good tunability properties of 23% by the post-annealing.

We have investigated the effect of silver added to Cu films on the microstructure evolution, resistivity, surface morphology, stress relaxation temperature, and adhesion properties of Cu(Ag) alloy thin films deposited on Mo glue layer upon annealing. In addition, pure Cu films deposited on Mo has been annealed and compared. The results show that the silver in Cu(Ag) thin films control the grain growth through the coarsening of its precipitates upon annealing at $300^{\circ}C{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ and the grain growth of Cu reveals the activation energy of 0.22 eV, approximately one third of activation energy for diffusion of Ag dopant along the grain boundaries in Cu matrix (0.75 eV). This indicates that the grain growth can be controlled by Ag diffusion along the grain boundaries. In addition, the grain growth can be a major contributor to the decreased resistivity of Cu(Ag) alloy thin films at the temperature of $300^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$, and decreases the resistivity of Cu(Ag) thin films to $1.96{\mu}{\Omega}-cm$ after annealing at $600^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, the addition of Ag increases the stress relaxation temperature of Cu(Ag) thin films, and thus leading to the enhanced resistance to the void formation, which starts at $300^{\circ}C$ in the pure Cu thin films. Moreover, Cu(Ag) thin films shows the increased adhesion properties, possibly resulting from the Ag segregating to the interface. Consequently, the Cu(Ag) thin films can be used as a metallization of advanced TFT-LCDs.

Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3박막을 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) 기판에 증착하였다 .누설전류에 영향을 주는 것으로 알려진 열처리 조건, dopant 효과 등을 평가하고자 이온반경이Ti와 유사하고 대부분이 Ti 자리를 치환하는 것으로 알려진 Nb와 Al을 각각 danor와 acceptor로 선택하여 BST 박막에 첨가한 후 누설전류를 측정하였다. 고온에서 in-situ 증착된 BST 박막은 거친 표면 형상을 보이며 낮은 전압에서 파괴가 발생하고, Nb 첨가로 누설전류가 증가하였다. 삼온 증착후 후열처리된 박막은 표면 형상도 평할도가 증가하였으며 in-situ로 제조된 박막에 비해 높은 파괴전압과 낮은 누설전류를 나타내었다. 특히 Al이 첨가된 BST 박막의 누설전류밀도는 ~10A/cm2로 도핑을 하지 않은 박막이나 Nb가 첨가된 박막에 비해 매우 낮은 누설전류밀도를 나타내었으며, 이는 산화로 인한 산소공공의 감소, 이동 가능한 hole의 감소와 후열처리과정중 계면 및 입계의 산화로 Schottky 장벽에 높아진 결과로 판단된다.

Lead zirconate titanate(PZT) thin films have been attracting worldwide interests in exploring their potential properties [1-3] or the origins [4-6] of their excellent dielectic, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). PZT thin films are expected to apply to the memory devices, micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS), and display because of their superior ferroelectric, pyroelectric, piezoelectric and electron emission properties. In this study, high- performance piezoelectric PZT thin films for actuated mirror array and optical scanner were developed by controlling the several factors, such as molecular-designed precursor, seeding layer and the residual stress in films, by a chemical solution deposition (CSD).

Molybdenum oxide thin films were deposited on p-type Si(100) by an RF magnetron sputtering method. The physical and chemical properties of these films were studied with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The thickness of molybdenum oxide thin films was measured by spectroscopic ellipsometer (SE) and the thickness was about 200 nm. As the oxygen gas pressure increased, the thickness was decreased, the phases of the thin films were changed, and the amount of metallic Mo decreased but the contents of $Mo^{6+}$ species increases.
