We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) aligning capabilities using the new alignment material of a-C:H thin film as working gas at 30W rf bias condition. A high pretilt angle of about 5$^{\circ}$ by ion beam(IB) exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface was measured. A good LC alignment by the IB alignment method on the a-C:H thin film surface was observed at annealing temperature of 250$^{\circ}C$, and the alignment defect of the NLC was observed above annealing temperature of 300$^{\circ}C$. Consequently, the high LC pretilt angle and the good thermal stability of LC alignment by the IB alignment method on the a-C:H thin film surface as working gas at 30W rf bias condition can be achieved.

In this paper, the preparation of lead zirconium titanate(PZT) thin film by sol-gel processing was descried. Thin film coated with thickness of 4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ on the stainless steel substrates using the multiple spin-coating process. The crystalline phases of PZT powder and film were investigated by X-ray diffraction pattern and PZT thin film has perovskite structure over 600 C annealing temperature. Corona charging characteristics of the ferroelectric PZT thin film at 600 C were investigated by electrophotographic measurement. A difference in the charging characteristics between positive and negative corona charging was found. The charge acceptance depended in the polarity of corona and the poling of film. According to the D-E hysteresis measurment, PZT thin film can be poled by corona charging without use of top electrode. The remnant polarization in the PZT thin film is generally in the order of 48$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$. From this results, the ferroelectric PZT thin film will be possible to apply for the add-on type imaging formation.

A micromachined piezoelectric microspeaker was fabricated with a highly c-axis oriented ZnO thin film on a silicon-nitride film having compressive residual stress. When it was measured 3 mm away from the microspeaker in open field, the largest sound pressure level produced by the fabricated microspeaker was about 91 dB at around 2.9 kHz for the applied voltage of $6\;V_{peak-to-peak}$. The key technologies to these successful results were as follows: (1) the usage of a wrinkled diaphragm caused by the high compressive residual stress of silicon-nitride thin film, (2) the usage of the highly c-axis oriented ZnO thin film.

NiCr thin film was deposited by DC magnetron sputtering on $A;_2O_3$/Si substrate with NiCr (80:20) alloy target. NiCr thin films were annealed at $300^{\circ}C,\;400^{\circ}C,\;500^{\circ}C,\;600^{\circ}C,\;and\;700^{\circ}C$ for 6 hr in $H_2$ after annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ for 6hr in air atmosphere, respectively. To analyze NiCr thin film properties, the changes of its micro structure were Investigated through field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to analyze a surface of NiCr thin film. Resistance of NiCr thin film was measured by 4-point probe technique. The generated heats were measured by infrared thermometer through the application of DC voltage (5 V/l2 V). NiCr thin film treated by gradational double annealing process had uniform and small grains. Maximum temperature generated heat by NiCr micro heater was $173^{\circ}C$. We expect that our results will be a useful reference in the realization of NiCr micro heater.

In order to apply for the gas sensing layer and the piezoelectric thin film devices, we studied the effects of magnetron sputtering conditions and annealing temperature on the electrical and structual characteristics of the ZnO thin film. The optimal deposition conditions, in order to obtain a c axis of the ZnO (002) phase thin film which is perpendicular to SiO$_{2}$/Si substrate, were like these ; substrate temperature 150.deg. C, chamber pressure 2 mtorr, R.F. power 300 watts, gas flow ratio 0.4[O$_{2}$(Ar + $O_{2}$)]. When the ZnO thin film was annealed in 600.deg. C, $O_{2}$ gas ambient for 1 hr, the resistivity was 2.6 x 10$^{2}$.ohm.cm and the grain size of ZnO thin film was less than 1 .mu.m. So the ZnO thin film acquired from above conditions can apply for the gas sensing layer which require a c axis perpendicular to the substrate surface.

We investigated the EO performances of the UV aligned twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) with the UV exposure on a-C:H thin film surface. LC alignment using UV exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface was achieved. Monodomain alignment of the UV aligned TN-LCD can be observed. An good EO characteristics of the UV aligned TN-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface. Therefore, the EO property of the UV-aligned TN-LCD with UV exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface is almost the same as that of the rubbing-aligned TN-LCD on a polyimide (PI) surface.

Using RF magnetron sputtering, amorphous carbon(a-C) thin films as electron filed emitter were fabricated. these a-C thin films were deposited on Si(001) substrate at several temperatures. The field electron emission property of these a-C thin films was estimated by a diode technique. As the result, we observed that the field emission properties of the films were changed singnificantly with the substrate temperature and structural features of a-C film. The field emission properties were promoted by higher substrate temperatures. Furthermore N-doped a-C film exhibits more field emission property than that of undoped a-C film. These results are explained as change of surface morphology and structural properties of a-C film.

$MgF_2$ is a current material used for optical applications in the ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet range. Process variables for manufacturing $MgF_2$ thin film were established in order to clarify the optimum conditions for the growth of the thin film, dependant upon the process conditions, and then by changing a number of the vapor deposition conditions, substrate temperatures, and heat treatment conditions, the structural and optical characteristics were measured. Then, optimum process variables were thus derived. Nevertheless, modern applications still require improvement in the optical and structural quality of the deposited layers. In the present work, in order to understand the composition and microstructure of $MgF_2$, single layers grown on a slide glass substrate using an Electron beam Evaporator (KV-660), were analyzed and compared. The surface substrate temperature, having an effect on the quality of the thin film, was changed from $200^{\circ}C$ to $350^{\circ}C$ at intervals of $50^{\circ}C$. The heat treatment temperature, which also has an effect on the thin film, was changed from $200^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$ at intervals of $50^{\circ}C$. The physical properties of the thin film were investigated at various fabrication conditions, such as the substrate temperature, the heat treatment temperature, and the heat treatment time, by X-ray diffraction, and field emission-scanning electron microscopy.

In this study, we prepared ZnO/glass and ZnO/SiO$_2$/Si thin film by Facing Targets Sputtering (FTS) system for Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR). When the ZnO thin film applied to piezoelectric thin film, it requires good c-axis preferred orientation. And c-axis orientation has a remarkable difference with preparation conditions. Therefore, c-axis orientation must be significantly evaluated as a function of deposition conditions. Moreover, in order to prepare ZnO thin film with good crystallographic properties and progressive of efficiency of product process, the ZnO thin film should be prepared as low temperature as possible. In this work, we prepared ZnO thin films on slide glass and SiO$_2$/Si substrate. And the crystallographic characteristics of ZnO thin films on sputtering conditions were investigated by alpha-step and X-ray diffraction.
