The $LiNbO_3$ thin films were prepared directly on Si(100) substrates by conventional RF magnetron spurttering system for nonvolatile memory applications. RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) treatment was performed for as-deposited films in an oxygen atmosphere at 600 $^{\circ}C$ for 60 s. The rapid thermal annealed films were changed to poly-crystalline ferroelectric nature from amorphous of as-deposition. The resistivity of the ferroelectric $LiNbO_3$ film was increased from a typical value of $1{\sim}2{\times}10^8{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ before the annealing to about $1{\times}10^{13}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at 500 kV/cm and reduced the interface state density of the $LiNbO_3/Si$ (100) interface to about $1{\times}10^{11}/cm^2{\cdot}eV$. Ferroelectric hysteresis measurements using a Sawyer-Tower circuit yielded remanent polarization ($P_r$) and coercive field ($E_c$) values of about 1.2 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ and 120 kV/cm, respectively.

We report on the non-volatile memory characteristics of a bistable organic memory (BOM) device with Au nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in a conducting poly N-vinylcarbazole (PVK) colloids hybrid layer deposited on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show the Au nanoparticles distributed isotropically around the surface of a PVK colloid. The average induced charge on Au nanoparticles, estimated using the C-V hysteresis curve, was large, as much as 5 holes/NP at a sweeping voltage of ${\pm}3$ V. The maximum ON/OFF ratio of the current bistability in the BOM devices was as large as $1{\times}105$. The cycling endurance tests of the ON/OFF switching exhibited a high endurance of above $1.5{\times}105$ cycles and a high ON/OFF ratio of ~105 could be achieved consistently even after quite a long retention time of more than $1{\times}106$ s.

In this paper, the design method of asynchronous nonvolatile memory module that can efficiently process and store large amounts of data without loss when the power turned off is proposed and implemented. PSRAM, which takes advantage of DRAM and SRAM, was used for data processing, and NAND flash memory was used for data storage and backup. The problem of a lot of signal interference due to the characteristics of memory devices was solved through PCB design using high-density integration technology. In addition, a boost circuit using the super capacitor of 0.47F was designed to supply sufficient power to the system during the time to back up data when the power is off. As a result, an asynchronous nonvolatile memory module was designed and implemented that guarantees reliability and stability and can semi-permanently store data for about 10 years. The proposed method solved the problem of frequent data loss in industrial sites and presented the possibility of commercialization by providing convenience to users and managers.

Effect of Fermentation temperature on the changes of chemical components in Kakudgi during fermentation was investigated by measuring free sugar, organic acid and volatile compounds up to 57 days at several temperatures. The mannitol was increased in palatable period in contrast with those of other free sugars. The higher the initial fermentation temperature was and the longer the initial fermentation time at 2$0^{\circ}C$ was, the faster the second increasing period was and the less the initial contents was. Lactic acid was increased 6~31 times from a little amount at the initial period. The higher the initial fermentation temperature was and the more the increasing content was. But malic acid which was abundant(55.1% of total nonvolatile organic acid) in the initial fermentation period was remarkably decreased in the palatable period. The change of the sulfides among the volatile compounds was remarkable. Methyl allyl sulfide which was a little in the initial fermentation period was remarkably increased in the final fermentation period, and the correlation coefficients between the content of methyl allyl sulfide and aroma in sensory evaluation were high. It could be suggested that the fermentation temperature should be set to 4$^{\circ}C$ after fermentating at 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 36 hours in the view point of keeping the Kakdugi taste and quality well because of high content of free sugar and nonvolatile organic acids.

Ultra-thin $SiO_2/ZrO_2$ dielectrics were deposited by atomic layer chemical vapor deposition (ALCVD) method for non-volatile memory application. Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors were fabricated by stacking ultra-thin $SiO_2$ and $ZrO_2$ dielectrics. It is found that the tunneling current through the stacked dielectric at the high voltage is lager than that through the conventional silicon oxide barrier. On the other hand, the tunneling leakage current at low voltages is suppressed. Therefore, the use of ultra-thin $SiO_2/ZrO_2$ dielectrics as a tunneling barrier is promising for the future high integrated non-volatile memory.

Ferroelectric $LiNbO_3$ thin films were grown directly on Si(100) substrates by 13.55MHz RF magnetron sputtering system using a ceramic target ($Nb_2O_5/Li_2C0_3$ = 51.4/48.6). Because high temperature process have to avoided to prevent degradation of the interface (insulator/Si), $LiNbO_3$ thin films were deposited below $300^{\circ}C$. After as-deposited films were performed RTA treatments in an oxygen ambient at $600^{\circ}C$ for 60s, electrical measurements performed films before and after anneal treatment. In high field region, the leakage current density of the films after annealing was deceased about 4order and the resistivity of these was increased to about 5\times 10^{11} \Omega \cdot cm$ at 500kV/cm. In accumulation region of C-V curve, we calculated dielectric constant of thin film $LiNbO_3$ as 27.9 which is close to that of bulk value.

The retention and fatigue properties of ferroelectric LiNbO$_3$ thin films were studied. Metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor(MFS) devices by using rapid thermal annealed LiNbO$_3$/Si structures were successfully fabricated and demonstrated nonvolatile memory operations of the MFS devices. The I$_{D}$-V$_{G}$ characteristics of MFSFET\`s showed a hysteresis loop due to the ferroelectric nature of the LiNbO$_3$ thin film. The ferroelectric capacitors showed practically no polarization degradation up to about 10$^{10}$ switching cycles when subjected to symmetric bipolar voltage pulse (peak-to-peak 6V, 50% duty cycle) in the 500kHz. The retention properties of the LiNbO$_3$ thin films were quite good up to about 10$^{3}$ s . s .

Prototype MFSFET′s using ferroelectric oxide LiNbO$_3$ as a gate insulator have been successfully fabricated with the help of 2 sheets of metal masks and demonstrated nonvolatile memory operations of the MFSFET′s. The estimated field-effect electron mobility and transconductance on a linear region of the fabricated FET were 600 $\textrm{cm}^2$/V.s and 0.16 mS/mm, respectively. The drain current of the "on" state was more than 4 orders of magnitude larger than the "off" state current at the same "read" gate voltage of 0.5 V, which means the memory operation of the MFSFET. A write voltage as low as $\pm$3 V, which is applicable to low power integrate circuits, was used for polarization reversal.

Chalcogenide based phase-change memory has a high capability and potential for the next generation nonvolatile memory device. Fast writing speed, low writing voltage, high sensing margin, low power consume and long cycle of read/write repeatability are also good advantages of nonvolatile phase-change memory. We have been investigated the new material for the phase-change memory. Its composition is consists of chalcogenide $Ge_{1}Se_{1}Te_2$ material. We made this new material to solve problems of conventional phase-change memory which has disadvantage of high power consume and high writing voltage. In the present work, we are manufactured $Ge_{1}Se_{1}Te_{2}/Ge_{2}Sb_{2}Te_{5}/Ge_{1}Se_{1}Te_{2}$ and $Ge_{2}Sb_{2}Te_{5}/Ge_{1}Se_{1}Te_{2}/Ge_{2}Sb_{2}Te_{5}$ sandwich triple layer structure devices are manufactured to investigate its electrical properties. Through the present work, we are willing to ensure a potential of substitutional method to overcome a crystallization problem on PRAM device.

In this study, SrBi$_2$Ta$_2$$O_{9}$ (SBT) thin films were etched at different Cl$_2$gas mixing ratio in Cl$_2$/Ar. The maximum etch rate of SBT was 883 $\AA$/min in Cl$_2$(20%)/Ar(80%). The result indicates that physical sputtering of charged particles is dominant to chemical reaction in etching SBT thin films. To evaluate the changes of morphology and crystallinity on the near surface of etched SBT, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) were used. The rms values of etched samples in Ar only or Cl$_2$ only plasma were higher than that of as-deposited, Cl$_2$/Ar Plasma. The SBT (105) crystalinity of the etched samples decreased in Af only or Cla only plasma, but maintain constant in ClyAr plasma. This can be illustrated by a decrease of Bi content or nonvolatile etching products (Sr-Cl and Ta-Cl), resulting in the changes of stoichiometry on the etched surface of the SBT thin films. The decrease of Bi content and nonvolatile etch products were revealed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS).).
