Typical metal oxide thin films having optical and electrical properties are widely used as inorganic functional materials. Liquid phase deposition(LPD) method, a new low temperature process, has been developed for the several advantages of no vacuum system, low cost, high throughput, and low processing temperature(<$50^{\circ}C$). Silica powder was added to 40wt% hydrofluoro-silicic acid($H_2$SiF\ulcorner) to obtain an immersing solution of silica-saturated hydrofluorosilicic acid solution. Boric acid solution was continuously added in the range from 0 to 0.05M to prepare supersaturated hydrofluorosilicic acid solution. LPD $SiL_2$film was formed with the variation of added amount of $H_2$O. The SiO$_2$thin film could be prepared from hydrofluorosilicic acid by LPD method. The thickness of LPD $_SiO2$film was influenced by the boric acid concentration and added amount of $H_2$O. Silicon in thin film existed as SiF\ulcorner by Raman spectrum.

Two different organic-inorganic hybrid thin film transistors (OITFTs) with the structures of glass/ITO/ZnO/PMMA/Al (staggered structure) and glass/ITO/PMMA/ZnO/Al (inverted staggered structure), were fabricated and their electrical and structural properties were compared. The ZnO thin films used as active channel layers were deposited by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method at a temperature of $100^{\circ}C$. To investigate the effect of the substrates on their properties, the ZnO films were deposited on bare glass, PMMA/glass and ITO/glass substrates and their crystal properties and surface morphologies were analyzed. The structural properties of the ZnO films varied with the substrate conditions. The ZnO film deposited on the ITO/glass substrate showed better crystallinity and morphologies, such as a higher preferred c-axis orientation, lower FWHM value and larger particle size compared with the one deposited on the PMMA/glass substrate. The field effect mobility ($\mu$), threshold voltage ($V_T$) and $I_{on/off}$ switching ratio for the OITFT with the staggered structure were about $0.61\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, 5.5 V and $10^2$, whereas those of the OITFT with the inverted staggered structure were found to be $0.31\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, 6.8 V and 10, respectively. The improved electrical properties for the staggered OITFTs may originate from the improved crystal properties and larger particle size of the ZnO active layer.

$RuO_2$ thin films deposited directly on Si substrate by RF magnetron sputtering method using $RuO_2$ target have been investigated. Special interest was focused on the effect of process parameter on the surface roughness of $RuO_2$ films. Crystallization behavior and electrical properties of the films deposited at $300^{\circ}C$ were superior to those deposited at room temperature. Metallic Ru phase was formed in pure Ar and this phase had resulted poor adhesion after post annealing process in oxidizing ambient. Microstructural analysis reveals that the size of the $RuO_2$ crystallites gets smaller and the surface becomes smoother as the $O_2$ partial pressure or film thickness decreases. Irrespective of the $O_2/Ar$ ratio, resistivity of $RuO_2$ films ranged in $50~70 {\mu}{\Omega}-cm$. As the film thickness decreases, there is a thickness where the resistivity rises abruptly. Such an onset thickness turned out to be dependent n the $O_2$/Ar ratio.

Li-doped ZnO films were prepared on Corning 1737 glass substrate by an rf magnetron sputtering technique using ZnO targets with various $Li_2CO_3$ contents ranging from 0 to 10 mol%. The effects of Li doping on the crystallinity and electrical properties of ZnO films were studied for their SAW filter applications. The film resistivity largely increased without suppressing the c-axis orientation and crystallinity with a small addition of Li. Heat treatment of the film at 40$0^{\circ}C$ induced that the film resistivity, c-axis orientation and crystallinity slightly increased. However, heat treatment of the film at 50$0^{\circ}C$ resulted in much lower resistivity than that of as-deposited film due to the increase of electron concentration caused by the evaporationof Li atoms from the ZnO film. Large addition of Li into the ZnO film rather diminished the film resistivity and suppressed the c-axis growth. It was concluded that a small doping of Li into the ZnO film and heat treatment at 40$0^{\circ}C$ caused the film resistivity to be high enough for SAW filter applications without suppression of the c-axis orientation and crystallinity.

In this paper, structural properties of CdTe thin films and photovoltaic properties of thin film CdS/CdTe solar ceIl prepared by thermal vacuum evaporation were studied. Structural variation with $CdCl_2/heat$ treatment are assessed using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The crystal structure of CdTe films was zincblend type with preferential orientation of the (111) plane parallel to the substrate. The $CdCl_2$ treatment appears to increase the grain size of polycrystalline CdTe thin film. It was found that CdS/CdTe solar cell characteristics were improved by the heat treatment with $CdCl_2$. The conversion efficiency, however, decreased when heat treatment temperature was too high.

In this study, the fabrication and the characteristic analyses of OLED using in-situ passivation are investigated. OLEDs represent a disadvantage in decreasing its life due to the degradation caused by the penetration of moisture and oxygen. After the fabrication of OLED, an in-situ passivation method for inorganic thin films is developed. A process that uses PECVD method which can apply a vapor deposition process at room temperature is also developed. Changes in the degradation and electric characteristics of OLEDs are also analyzed by applying $SiO_2$ and SiNx thin films to OLED as a passivation layer. By applying the fabricated thin film to OLEDs as a passivation layer, the moisture penetration in a single layer film is ensured below $1{\times}10^{-2}\;g/m^2.day$. This leads to the improvement of such degradation characteristics in the application of multilayer films.

본 연구에서는 생체재료 표면개질의 방법으로 유-무기 박막 형성에 관한 방법을 연구하였다. Collagen의 분해 시 얻어진 gelatin을 polystyrene 배양접시에 2 h 동안 흡착시켜 gelatin 흡착층을 형성하였다. Gelatin 흡착중에 calcium과 phosphorus 과포화 이온용액을 주입하여 calcium phosphate (CaP) 박막을 제조하였다. 박막 형성 초기에 박막의 핵들이 나타나는 것을 관찰하였다. 처리시간에 따라 CaP 박막에 성장하여 배양접시의 바닥표면 전체에 형성된 것을 볼 수 있었다. 형성된 gelatin/CaP 복합 박막의 특징은 3차원 공간에서 다공성이 높은 표면 구조를 형성하였다. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR)을 이용하여 CaP 박막의 화학적 성질을 분석한 결과, 박막 형성 초기에는 무결정 형태의 박막이 형성되고, 시간이 경과됨에 따라 결정성이 약간 증가하지만, 결정성이 낮은 CaP에서 나타나는 흡수피크의 존재 등을 통하여 본 연구에서 제조한 CaP 박막은 poorly crystalline CaP 박막임을 확인하였다.

The long-term stability of pentacene thin-film transistors (TFTs) encapsulated with a transparent $SnO_2$ thin-film prepared by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) was investigated. With a buffer layer of thermally evaporated 100 nm $SnO_2$ film deposited prior to IBAD process, our encapsulated OTFTs sustained its initial field-effect mobility up to one month and then gradually degraded showing only 37% reduction compared to 90% reduction of non-encapsulated OTFTs after 100 days in air ambient. The encapsulated OTFTs also exhibited superior on/off current ratio of over $10^5$ to that of the unprotected devices $({\sim}10^4)$ which was reduced from ${\sim}10^6$ before aging. Therefore, the enhanced long-term stability of our encapsulated OTFTs should be attributed to well protection of permeation of $H_2O$ and $O_2$ into the devices by the IBAD $SnO_2$ thin-film which could be used as an effective inorganic gas barrier for transparent organic electronic devices.
