The films of Er-doped ZnO (ZnO:Er) were prepared onto MgO wafers by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis at $550^{\circ}C$. The concentration of Er in the deposition source varied from 0.5 wt% to 3.0 wt%. The crystallographic properties and surface morphologies of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The properties of photoluminescence (PL) for the films were investigated by dependence of PL spectra on the Er concentration in the films. The films were grown as polycrystalline with a dominant direction of [002]. The grain size of the films were reduced by Er-doping. Er-doping enhanced the ultraviolet emission of ZnO:Er films. The ZnO:Er films prepared with the deposition source of 2.0 wt% Er showed the strongest ultraviolet light emission peak among the films in this study.

Er-doped ZnO(ZnO:Er) films were deposited onto MgO wafers by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis at 550 $^{\circ}C$ varying the concentration of Er in the deposition source from 0.5 wt% to 3.0 wt%. Annealing of the films in a vacuum was carried out to increase the intensity of ultraviolet(UV) emission from the films. The annealing temperature was between 600$^{\circ}C$ and 800$^{\circ}C$. The crystallographic properties and surface morphology of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD)and scanning electron microscope(SEM), respectively. The properties of photoluminescence(PL) for the films were investigated by the dependence of PL spectra on the annealing temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) was conducted to find the composition change in the films by the annealing.

Liquid phase epitaxy(LPE)법을 이용하여 ZnO co-doped Er:$LiNbO_3$, 단결정 박막을 $LiNbO_3$ (001) 기판 위에 성장시켰다. ZnO co-doped Er:$LiNbO_3$박막 성장의 초기 융액은 첨가제 $Er_2O_3$ 농도를 1 mol%로 고정시키고 ZnO 농도를 3,5 mol%로 조절하였다. ZnO co-doped Er :$LiNbO_3$박막의 결정성은 $LiNbO_3$ 기판보다 더 우수하였다. ZnO 5mol% 첨가한 경우 박막의 표면에는 수직한 방향과 평행한 방향으로 모두 압축응력이 작용하고 있었다. 또한 ZnO 3mol% 첨가된 Er :$LiNbO_3$박막의 표면은 원래의 $LiNbO_3$기판보다 더 평탄하였다

ZnO is well-known as a promising material for optical communication systems and electronic displays. ZnO:Er thin films were deposited on c-plane sapphire substrates by rf magnetron sputtering, and the effects of sputtering parameters and the annealing conditions on the luminescence in the visible range were investigated. Luminescent properties depended on the crystallinity of films and annealing atmosphere. Highly c-axis oriented ZnO:Er films showed a strong emission band at 465 nm and a weak emission at 525 nm due to the energy transition of $^{4}I_{15/2}-^{4}F_{5/2}\;and\;^{4}I_{15/2}-^{2}H_{11/2}$, respectively. ZnO:Er thin films annealed at air atmosphere were superior to those annealed in $H_2$ in photoluminescence intensity.
