In this paper, we investigated the island density-dependent stress distribution of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) film on polycarbonate substrate by external bending force. We used e-beam and RF­sputter for SiON, ITO sputtering. It was found that there are influence of island density on the substrate and decreasing crack density as goes to the minimum density. From the result that crack density was increasing at maximum island density, it is evident that more stress is imposed on same island position as island density.

Solder leaching resistance of the metal electrode is an important factor with regard to adhesion properties of ceramic substrate. In the Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC), Ag-Pd or Ag-Pt pastes are used instead of pure Ag paste to prevent leaching. Solder leaching behavior of the Ag-Pd paste in relation to LTCC raw material powder size was investigated. First fabrication of LTCC green tape with different particle size was done. LTCC substrates with Ag-Pd electrode were prepared using conventional multilayer ceramic process. Dipping test was performed to test solder leaching behavior of the electrode. Ag-Pd electrode on LTCC substrate with smaller particle size achieved higher solder leaching resistance.

$BiFeO_3/Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$(BFO/PZT) multilayer thin films have been prepared on a Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrate by chemical solution deposition. BFO single layer, BFO/PZT bilayer and multilayer thin films were studied for comparison. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the crystal structure of all films was multi-orientated perovskite phase without amorphous and impurity phase. The leakage current density at 500 kV/cm was reduced by approximately four and five orders of magnitude by bilayer and multilayer structure films, compared with BFO single layer film. The low leakage current density leads to saturated P-E hysteresis loops of bilayer and multilayer films. In BFO/PZT multlayer film, saturated remanent polarization of $44.3{\mu}C/cm^2$ was obtained at room temperature at 1 kHz with the coercive field($2E_c$) of 681.4 kV/cm.

Super precision resistor was manufactured by controlling properly the thickness of $TaN_{0.1}$ (negative TCR) and Cr(positive TCR) deposited on cylindrical alumina substrate (diameter: 4 mm, length: 11 mm). Multilayer thin film resistor of $Ta_2O_5/TaN_{0.1}$/Cr/Alumina (substrate) was manufactured by depositing of $Ta_2N_5$ film on $TaN_{0.1}$ film to increase Rs to the level of 1;k{\Omega}/{\box}$ and to passivate the film. Super precision resistor with TCR of $20\pm5 ppm/^{\circ}C$ and Rs of $1\;k{\Omega}/{\box}$ was manufactured by depositing thin layers of about 10 nm $Ta_2O_5$, 100 nm $TaN_{0.1}$ and 50 nm Cr film under the properly controlled sputtering condition.

The effects of the substrate temperature and the Pd underlayer on the structure and the magnetic properties of Pd/Co multilayer films prepared by the thermal evaporation were studied. As the substrate temperature increases up to $150^{\circ}C$, the crystallinity of sublayers, (111) texture and the interface sharpness of Pd/Co multilayers were improved due to the enhanced mobility of adatoms. As results of that, the perpendicular and surface anisotropy energies were increased but the coercivity was decreased because the pinning sites of domain wall decreased due to the grain growth. The grain size of the multilayers increased with Pd underlyer thickness. Thermal degradation was enhanced at above $200^{\circ}C$ due to interdiffusion at the Pd/Co interface. The intensity of the main diffraction peak rapidly decayed in the initial stage of aging and then decreased slowly. The rapid change of the intensity in the initial stage was speculated to be due to the structural relaxation phenomena and the later stage change was due to the interdiffusion. The activation energy for the interdiffusion in Pd4/Co1 multilayers was 14.9 KCal/mole.K.

Ultrathin polyelectrolyte (PE) multilayer films prepared by the versatile layer-by layer (LbL) assembly method have been utilized for the preparation of light-emitting diodes, electrochromic, membrane, and drug delivery system, as well as for selective area patterning and particle surface modification because the various materials with specific properties can be inserted into the film with nano-level thickness irrespective of the size or the shape of substrate. Since the introduction of the LbL technique in 1991 by Decher and Hong, various hydrophilic materials can be inserted within LbL films through complementary interactions (i.e., electrostatic, hydrogen-bonding or covalent interaction). In this study, it is demonstrated that LbL SA multilayer films based on nucleophilic substitution reaction can allow the preparation of the highly efficient magnetic and/or optical films and nonvolatile memory devices.

In this paper, we made three kinds of porous silicon samples (single layer, distributed Bragg reflector, and microcavity) by electrochemical etching p-type silicon substrate. And then, we investigated their reflectance spectrum properties. We found that the number of fringe patterns and the maximum reflectivity of porous silicon multilayer increased compared with a porous silicon sinlge layer. In addition, we can observe that the DBR (distributed Bragg reflector) porous silicon has a full-width at half-maximum about 33 nm which is narrower than the porous silicon single layer and porous silicon microcavity.

A new strain analysis model, so called the stress matched model, in an epitaxial multilayer system is proposed. The model makes it possible to know the strain, the stress, the elastic strain energy in each epitaxial layer. Analytical formulas of strain parameters in each epitaxial layer are derived under assumptions that the substrate thickness is finite and the in-plane lattice constant is the same for all epitaxial layers for dislocation free growth. As an example, the model is applied to a 405nm InGaN/InGaN multiple quantum well laser diode. Analysis result shows that AlxGa1-xN layer with Al mole fraction of 0.06 and the thickness of 6${\mu}m$ is one of good templates for a laser. In fact, this layer structure coincides with experimentally optimized one.

To enhance the cutting performance of the tool, single or multilayer coating is applied on the substrate of the tool. Coating material reduces cutting force and heat generation in tool-chip contact zone and enhances resistance against abrasive wear. This paper presents that the effect of different coatings on abrasive wear resistance varies with work material and the flank wear rate is different with depth of cut. Crater wear rate is also found to decrease with higher thermal diffusivity of coating material. It is verified that the estimated thermal diffusivity of multilayer coating has consistent effect on the crater wear.

The electrostatic layer-by-layer technique provides a convenient way to control the construction of ultrathin films at nano-scale ranges and can be easily obtained. It can be also applicable to fiber substrate with dye compounds. We have fabricated multilayer dye films using diazonium resin and three couplers, which are prepared by self-assembly approach. This method is based on layer-by-layer deposition using electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. Beside, the diazo coupling reaction proceeded to form azo dye layer on the PET fibers the same time. The corresponding results of the multilayer films have been discussed on the level of color strength (K/S).
