Mn doped ZnO films were prepared on Si (100) substrates using sol-gel method. The prepared films were annealed at $550^{\circ}C$ for decomposition and oxidation of the precursors. XRD analysis revealed the presence of ZnMnO hexagonal wurtzite phase along with the presence of small quantity of $ZnMn_2O_3$ secondary phase and poor crystalline nature. The 2D, 3D views of magnetic domains and domain profiles were obtained using magnetic force microscopy at room temperature. Rectangular shaped domains with an average size of 4.16 nm were observed. Magnetic moment measurement as a function of magnetic field was measured using superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry at room temperature. The result showed the ferromagnetic hysteresis loop with a curie temperature higher than 300 K.

This paper summarizes the recent fabrication and characterizations of flexible high-speed radio frequency (RF) transistors, PIN-diode single-pole single-throw switches, as well as flexible inductors and capacitors, based on single-crystalline Si nanomembranes transferred on polyethylene terephthalate substrates. Flexible thin-film transistors (TFTs) on plastic substrates have reached RF operation speed with a record cut-off/maximum oscillation frequency ($f_T/f_{max}$) values of 3.8/12 GHz. PIN diode switches exhibit excellent ON/OFF behaviors at high RF frequencies. Flexible inductors and capacitors compatible with high-speed TFT fabrication show resonance frequencies ($f_{res}$) up to 9.1 and 13.5 GHz, respectively. Robust mechanical characteristics were also demonstrated with these high-frequency passives components.

The dielectric carbon nitride thin films were deposited onto Si(100) substrate using a pulsed laser ablation of pure graphite target combined with a high voltage discharge plasma in the presence of a N$_2$ reactive gas. We calculated dielectric constant, $\varepsilon$$\_$s/, with a capacitance Schering bridge method. We investigated the influence of the laser ablation of graphite target and DC high voltage source for the plasma. The properties of the deposited carbon nitride thin films were influenced by the high voltage source during the film growth. Deposition rate of carbon nitride films were increased drastically with the increase of high voltage source. Infrared absorption clearly shows the existence of C=N bonds and C=N bonds. The carbon nitride thin films were observed crystalline phase confirmed by x-ray diffraction data.

Pure titanium dioxide $(TiO_2)$ films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on a single crystal Si(100) substrate. We have investigated the growth of crystalline titanium dioxide films with respect to substrate temperature and ambient oxygen pressure. The structural properties of the films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. We found that the anatase as well as the rutile phases could be formed from the original rutile phase of the target $TiO_2$. At 0.75 torr of ambient oxygen pressure, the structure of $TiO_2$ film was amorphous at room temperature, anatase between 300 and 600 ℃, a mixture of anatase and rutile between 700 and 800 ℃, and only rutile at 900 ℃ and above. However, at a low ambient oxygen pressure, the rutile phase became dominant; the only rutile phase was obtained at the ambient oxygen pressure of 0.01 torr and the substrate temperature of 800 ℃. Therefore, the film structures were largely influenced by substrate temperature and ambient oxygen pressure.

In rearpoint contact solar cell and the PERC (passivated emitter rear contact) type cell, surfaces were passivated by SiO2 or Al2O3 to increase solar cell efficiency. Therefore, we have investigated the effect of surface passivation for crystalline silicon solarcell using mass-production atomic layer deposited (ALD) Al2O3. The patttern which consists of cylinders with 100um diameter and 5um height was formed by PR patterning on Si (100) substrate and then Al2O3 of about 10nm and 20nm thickness was deposited by ALD. The pattern in 10 nm Al2O3 film was removed by dipping in aceton solution for about 10 min but the pattern in 20 nm Al2O3 film was not. The influences of process temperature and heat treatment were investigated using microwave photoconductance decay (PCD) and Quasi-Steady-State photoconductance (QSSPC). The solar cell process used in this work combines the advantage of using the applicability of a selective deposition associated with a ALD passivation and the use of low-cost screen print for the contacts formation.

The development of martensitic grades which can be processed in continuous galvanizing lines requires the reduction of the oxides formed on the steel during the hot dip process. This reduction mechanism was investigated in detail by means of High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) of cross-sectional samples. Annealing of a martensitic steel in a 10% $H_2+N_2$ atmosphere with the dew point of $-35^{\circ}C$ resulted in the formation of a thin $_{C-X}MnO.SiO_{2}$ (x>1) oxide film and amorphous $_{a-X}MnO.SiO_{2}$ oxide particles on the surface. During the hot dip galvanizing in Zn-0.13%Al, the thin $_{C-X}MnO.SiO_{2}$ (x>1) oxide film was reduced by the Al. The $_{a-X}MnO.SiO_{2}$ (x<0.9) and $a-SiO_{2}$ oxides however remained embedded in the Zn coating close to the steel/coating interface. No $Fe_{2}Al_{5-X}Zn_{X}$ inhibition layer formation was observed. During hot dip galvanizing in Zn-0.20%Al, the $_{C-X}MnO.SiO_{2}$ (x>1) oxide film was also reduced and the amorphous $_{a-X}MnO.SiO_{2}$ and $a-SiO_{2}$ particles were embedded in the $Fe_{2}Al_{5-X}Zn_{X}$ inhibition layer formed at the steel/coating interface during hot dipping. The results clearly show that Al in the liquid Zn bath can reduce the crystalline $_{C-X}MnO.SiO_{2}$ (x>1) oxides but not the amorphous $_{a-X}MnO.SiO_{2}$ (x<0.9) and $a-SiO_{2}$ oxides. These oxides remain embedded in the Zn layer or in the inhibition layer, making it possible to apply a Zn or Zn-alloy coating on martensitic steel by hot dipping. The hot dipping process was also found to deteriorate the mechanical properties, independently of the Zn bath composition.

We observed the changes of crystal structure of Rubrene (5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnaphthacene) polycrystal thin films at various in situ substrate temperature and process by scanning electron microscope(SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and near-field microwave microprobe (NFMM). Amorphous rubrene thin film was initially obtained on 200 nm thick $SiO_2/Si$ substrate at 35 $^{\circ}C$ in a vacuum evaporation but in situ long time postannealing at the temperature 80 $^{\circ}C$ transformed the amorphous phase into crystalline. Four heating conditions are followed : (a) preheating (b) annealing (c) preheating, annealing (d) preheating, cooling(35 $^{\circ}C$), annealing. We have obtained the largest polycrystal disk in sample (c). But the highest crytallity and conductivity of the rubrene thin films were obtained in sample (d).

We fabricated the devices of TFT type with the amorphous chalcogenide channel. A single device consists of a Pt source and drain, a Ti glue layer and a GeSe chalcogenide channel layer on SiO2/Si substrate which worked as the gate. We confirmed the drain current with variations of gate bias and channel size. The I-V curves of the switching device are shown in Fig. 1. The channel of the device always contains amorphous state, but can be programmed into two states with different threshold voltages (Vth). In each state, the device shows a normal Ovonic switching behavior. Below Vth (OFF state), the current is low, but once the biasing voltage is greater than Vth (ON state), the current increases dramatically and the ON-OFF ratio is about 4 order. Based on the experiments, we contained the conclusion that the gate voltage can enhance the drain current, and the electric field by the drain voltage affects the amorphous-amorphous transition. The switching device always contains the amorphous state and never exhibits the Ohmic behavior of the crystalline state.

In this paper, the (Sr$_{1-x}$ Ca$_{x}$)TiO$_3$(SCT) thin films were deposited at various substrate temperature using RF magnetron sputtering method on optimized Pt-coated electrodes (Pt/TiN/SiO$_2$/Si). An influence of substrate temperature and annealing temperature on the structural and dielectric properties are investigated. The substrate temperature changed from 100[$^{\circ}C$] to 500[$^{\circ}C$] and crystalline SCT thin films were deposited abode 400[$^{\circ}C$]. All thin films had (111) preferred orientation, the (100) oriented films were obtained at the substrate temperature above 400[$^{\circ}C$]. The dielectric constant changes almost linearly in the temperature region of -80~+90[$^{\circ}C$], the temperature characteristics of the dielectric loss exhibited a stable value within 0.1, then not affected by substitutional contents. The capacitance characteristics appears a stable value within $\pm$5[%].
