We prepared Zinc Oxide thin films introducing Ag layer on glass substrates at room temperature by using facing targets sputtering (FTS) method. In order to obtain good electrical properties, Ag layer was introduced. Ag with various thickness of thin films were used as intermediate layers. The electrical, optical and crystallographic properties of thin films were investigated by Four-Point probe, UV/VIS spectrometer and XRD. From the results, we could confirm that the thickness of Ag layer changes the electrical and optical performances of the multilayers.

Oxide (SiO₂)/Metal(Ag)/Oxide(SiO₂, ITO, ZnO) multilayer films were fabricated using a magnetron sputtering technique at room temperature on Si (p-type, 100) and a glass substrate. The electrical and optical properties of the asymmetric multilayer films depended on the thickness of the mid-layer film and the type of oxide in the bottom layer. As the metal layer becomes thicker, the sheet resistance decreases. However, the transmittance decreases when the metal layer exceeds a threshold thickness of approximately 10~12 nm. In addition, the sheet resistance and transmittance change according to the type of oxide in the bottom layer. If the oxide has a large resistivity, the overall sheet resistance increases. In addition, the anti-reflection effect changes according to the refractive index of the oxide material. The optical and electrical properties of multilayer films were investigated using an ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer and a 4-point probe, respectively. The optimum structure is SiO₂ (30 nm)/Ag (10 nm)/ZnO (30 nm) multilayer, with the highest FOM value of 7.7×10^-3 Ω^-1.

As the supply of eco-friendly vehicles increases, the application rate of hot stamping components is rising to reduce vehicle weight and improve safety. Although Al-Si coated steel sheets are commonly used in hot stamping processes, their manufacturing costs are elevated due to process patents and royalties. Various hot stamping studies have been conducted to reduce these production costs. In this study, we derived a process control method for suppressing the oxide layer of hot stamping parts using uncoated boron steel sheets. Firstly, hat-shaped parts were hot stamped under atmospheric conditions to analyze the tendency of oxide layer formation by location. Then, the Gleeble system was used to observe oxide layer formation based on oxygen content under various atmospheric conditions. Finally, the oxide layer thickness was quantitatively measured using SEM images.

In the present study, the formation of hollow Cu oxide nanoparticles through the oxidation process at temperatures from 200 to $300^{\circ}C$ has been studied by transmission electron microscopy with Cu nanoparticles produced by the plasma arc discharge method. The Cu nanoparticles had a thin oxide layer on the surface at room temperature and the thickness of this oxide layer increased during oxidation in atmosphere at $200-300^{\circ}C$ However, the oxide layer consisted of $Cu_2O$ and CuO after oxidation at $200^{\circ}C$ whereas this layer was comprised of only CuO after oxidation at $300^{\circ}C$ On the other hand, hollow Cu oxide nanoparticles are obtained as a result of vacancy aggregation in the oxidation processes, resulting from the rapid outward diffusion of metal ions through the oxide layer during the oxidation process.

In this study, $Al_2O_3/TaAlO_4/SiO_2$ (A/TAlO/S) structures with tantalum aluminate charge trap layer were fabricated for Nand flash memory device. We evaluated the memory window and retention characteristic as the thickness of the tunnel oxide was varied among 3 nm, 4 nm, and 5 nm. All tunnel oxide thicknesses were measured by ellipsometer and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope). The A/TAlO/S multi-layer film consisted of 5 nm tunnel oxide showed the best result of memory window of 1.57 V and retention characteristics. After annealing the 5 nm tunnel oxide A/TAlO/S multi-layer film at $900^{\circ}C$. The memory window decreased to 1.32 V. Moreover, the TEM images confirmed that the thickness of multi-layer structure decreased 14.3% after annealing and the program conditions of A/TAlO/S multi-layer film decreased from 13 V to 11 V for 100 ms. Retention properties of both as-deposited and annealed films stably maintained until to $10^4$ cycles.

In this paper, (Ga,Al):ZnO layers were deposited by sputtering to evaluate the device performance according to the thickness of the layer. As the thickness increased, low transmittance was observed, but the electrical resistance was improved. On the other hand, the highest efficiency was recorded at 400 nm device than a 500 nm of it. Therefore, since the critical thickness exists, it is necessary to set an adequate TCO layer thickness in consideration of the characteristics of the underlying film and the device.

The impact of surface quantization on device parameters of a Si metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor has been analyzed in the present work. Variation of conduction band bending, position of discrete energy states, variation of surface potential, and the variation of inversion carrier concentration at charge centroid have been analyzed for different gate voltages, substrate doping concentrations and oxide thicknesses. Oxide thickness calculated from the experimental C-V data of a MOS capacitor is different from the actual oxide thickness, since such data include the effect of surface quantization. A correction factor has been developed considering the effect of charge centroid in presence of surface quantization at strong inversion and it has been observed that the correction due to surface quantization is crucial for highly doped substrate with thinner gate oxide.

본 논문에서는 초기 산화 피막의 형성이 전기화학적 방법을 이용한 다공성 알루미나 막 제작에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 다공성 알루미나 막의 제작은 전해 연마된 알루미늄 포일을 사용하여 두 치체의 양극산화 과정을 통해 이루어졌으며 양극산화 시초기 산화 피막이 알루미나 막 표면의 기공구조형성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 일차 양극산화 전 1 V의 낮은 전압으로 약 10nm두께의 산화 피막을 형성하였다. 이후 옥살산 용액 안에서 40V의 전압으로 양극산화 과정을 수행한 결과 양극산화 반응은 매우 안정적이었으며 측정된 양극산화 전류 역시 일정하게 유지됨을 알 수 있었다. 이와 달리 초기 산화 피막이 형성되지 않았을 경우 양극산화 과정은 매우 불안정하였으며 양극산화 과정동안 전류가 계속적으로 증가함을 보였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 알루미늄 포일 표면에 초기 산화 피막을 형성함으로써 전기장의 불균일한 분포에 의해 발생하는 표면 손상을 방지하며 안정적인 양극산화 과정을 통해 다공성 알루미나 산화 막을 제작할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this study. the friction transition diagram based on the effect of oxide layer formation on contact surface between TiN coated steel ball and uncoated steel disk was constructed. From the diagram. it can be seen that as the contact load increases. the contact number of cycle at the beginning of oxide layer formation decreases linearly and as the coating thickness increases and the surface roughness of steel disk increases under same contact load. that increases. For the coated ball specimen, a AISI 52100 steel ball was used and AISI 1045 steel was used for the disk counter part.

In this study, the effects of oxide layer formed on the wear tracks of TiN coated silicon wafer on friction and wear characteristics were investigated. Silicon wafer was used for the substrate of coated disk specimens, which were prepared by depositing TiN coating with $1{\mu}m$ in coating thickness. AISI 52100 steel ball was used for the counterpart. The tests were performed both in air for forming oxide layer on the wear track and in nitrogen to avoid oxidation. This paper reports characterization of the oxide layer effects on friction and wear characteristics using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and sliding tests.
