The existing metal getters are invariably covered with thin oxide layers in air and the native oxide layer must be dissolved into the getter materials for activation. However, high temperature is needed for the activation, which leads to unavoidable deleterious effects on the devices. Therefore, to improve the device efficiency and gas-adsorption properties of the device, it is essential to synthesize the getter with a method that does not require a thermal activation temperature. In this study, getter material was synthesized using palladium oxide (PdOx) which can adsorb $H_2$ gas. To enhance the efficiency of the hydrogen and moisture absorption, a porous layer with a large specific area was fabricated by an etching process and used as supporting substrates. It was confirmed that the moisture-absorption performance of the $SiO_2/Si$ was characterized by water vapor volume with relative humidity. The gas-adsorption properties occurred in the absence of the activation process.

Si-O-C(-H) thin film with a tow dielectric constant were deposited on a P-type Si(100) substrate by an inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICPCVD). Bis-trimethylsilymethane (BTMSM, H$_{9}$C$_3$-Si-CH$_2$-Si-C$_3$H$_{9}$) and oxygen gas were used as Precursor. Hybrid type Si-O-C(-H) thin films with organic material have been generated many voids after annealing. Consequently, the Si-O-C(-H) films can be made a low dielectric material by the effect of void. The surface characterization of Si-O-C(-H) thin films were performed by SEM(scanning electron microscope). The characteristic analysis of Si-O-C(-H) thin films were performed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

We demonstrate the growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using ethylene-based chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and ferritin-induced catalytic particles toward growth temperature reduction. We first optimized the gas composition of $H_2$ and $C_2H_4$ at 500 and 30 sccm, respectively. On a planar $SiO_2$ substrate, high density SWNTs were grown at a minimum temperature of $760^{\circ}C$. In the case of growth using nanoporous templates, many suspended SWNTs were also observed from the samples grown at $760^{\circ}C$; low values of $I_D/I_G$ in the Raman spectra were also obtained. This means that the temperature of $760^{\circ}C$ is sufficient for SWNT growth in ethylene-based CVD and that ethylene is more effective that methane for low temperature growth. Our results provide a recipe for low temperature growth of SWNT; such growth is crucial for SWNT-based applications.
