In this study we present the effect of annealing temperatures on the structural, electrical and optical characteristics of Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) films. GZO target is deposited on coming 7059 glass substrates by DC sputtering. and then GZO films are annealed at temperatures of 400, 500, $600^{\circ}C$ in air ambient for 20 min. in this case of as-grown film, it shows the resistivity of $6{\times}10^{-1}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and transmittance under 85%, whereas the electrical and optical properties of film annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ are enhanced up to $1.9{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and 90%, respectively.

Si thin films on p-type (100) Si substrate have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser. The pressure of the environmental gas during deposition was 1 Torr. After deposition, Si thin film has been annealed again at 400-840$^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen ambient. Strong blue photoluminescence (PL) have been observed at room temperature. We report the PL properties of Si thin films depending on the variation of the annealing temperature.

The surface and interface morphology as well as the sheet resistance, and uniformity of TiSiz film are significantly improved and the lateral titanium silicide growth over the oxide spacer is minimized by the use of ion beam mixing and rapid thermal annealing in nitrogen ambient. In addition, TiSiz film formations on TiISi and TiISiOz system were also studied.

SIMOX SOI structures were formed by oxygen ion implantation with a dose of 2 1018 ions/cm2 at 180kev and post-implantation annealing at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours in nitrogen ambient. The oxygen redistribution process during post-implantation annealing was examined by AES and TEM. The electrical property of the structure was investigated by SRP method. We could find oxygen precipitates in SOI layer was discussed. And the limiting factor to the decrease of the precipitates during post-implantation annealing was discussed also.

The surface structure and the crystalline features in the near surface region have been investigated for CZ(Czochralski) grown Si wafers. Si wafers were annealed by RTA (Rapid Thermal Annealing) method in H$_2$ambient after mirror polished process. The densities of COPs (Crystal Originated Particles) after RTA process were remarkably decreased at the surface and in the region of 5um depth from the surface as well. terrace type surface structure which was formed by etching and re-arrangement of Si atoms during $H_2$annealing process also has been observed.

Europium doped yttrium vanadate ($YVO_4$:Eu) phosphor thin films were grown using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique on silicon substrate. The structural characterization carried out on a series of ($YVO_4$:Eu films at post annealing temperature in the range of 550 $^{\circ}C$-1150 $^{\circ}C$ indicating that films were preferentially (200) oriented at post annealing temperature above 950 $^{\circ}C.$ Photoluminescence of thin film increased with the increase of post annealing temperature and ambient oxygen pressure though the thin film has the powder-like surface morphology at oxygen pressure above 200 mTorr. Photoluminescence decay from $^5D_1$ level of $Eu^{3+}$ show the great concentration dependency, which can be used as a good parameter to control the composition of ($YVO_4$:Eu thin film.

Si nanocrystallites thin films on P-type (100) Si substrate have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition using a Nd:YAG laser. After deposition, samples were annealed in several environmental gases ;It the temperature range of 400 to $800^{\circ}C$ Hydrogen passivation was then performed in the forming gas (95 % $N_2$ + 5 % $H_2$) for 1 hr. Strong violet-indigo photoluminescence has been observed at room temperature on nitrogen ambient-annealed Si nanocrystallites. We report the variation of photoluminescence (PL) properties of Si thin films by changing annealing temperatures and by using hydrogen passivation. The results could suggest that the origin of violet-indigo PL should be related to the Quantum size effect of Si nanocrystallite.

Pt-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Pt) films were deposited by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Resistivity variation with Pt concentration was measured. The Pt distribution in ZnO:Pt films was studied through Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). The ZnO:Pt films were annealed in the ambient of air, water vapor and ozone, respectively. The variation in crystallographic properties and surface morphologies with respect to the annealing condition was observed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The resistivity variation of the films with the annealing condition was measured. Finally, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) measurements were carried out to study the effects of the annealing on the roughness of ZnO:Pt films.

Schottky barrier thin film transistors (SB-TFT) on polycrystalline silicon(poly-Si) are fabricated by platinum silicided source/drain for p-type SB-TFT. High quality poly-Si film were obtained by crystallizing the amorphous Si film with excimer laser annealing (ELA) or solid phase crystallization (SPC) method, The fabricated poly-Si SB-TFTs showed low leakage current level and a large on/off current ratio larger than 10), Significant improvement of electrical characteristics were obtained by the additional forming gas annealing in 2% $H_2/N_2$ ambient, which is attributed to the termination of dangling bond at the poly-Si grain boundaries as well as the reduction of interface trap states at gate oxide/poly-Si channel.
