Si thin films on p-type (100) Si substrate have been prepared by a pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser. The pressure of the environmental gas during deposition was 1 Torr. After deposition, Si thin film has been annealed again at 400-840$^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen ambient. Strong blue photoluminescence (PL) have been observed at room temperature. We report the PL properties of Si thin films with the variation of the annealing temperature.

ZnO thin films on (100)p-type silicon substrates have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) technique using an Nd:YGA laser with a wavelength of 266nm. The influence of the deposition parameters, such as oxygen pressure, substrate temperature and laser energy density variation on the properties of the grown film, was studied. The experiments were performed for substrate temperatures in the range of $200{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ and oxygen pressure in the range of $10^{-2}{\sim}10^2mTorr$. We investigated the structural, morphological and optical properties of ZnO thin films using X-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscopy(AFM), photoluminescence(PL).

ZnO thin films were deposited at different repetition rates of 5 Hz and 10 Hz by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction (XRD) full widths at half maximum (FWHMs) of (002) ZnO peak in ZnO thin film deposited at 5 Hz and 10 Hz was 0.22 and $0.26^{\circ}$, respectively. The grain size of ZnO thin film deposited at 5 Hz was larger than that of 10 Hz. The variation of repetition rates did not have an effect on the optical property of ZnO thin films. The degradation of the crystalline quality and surface morphology in ZnO thin film deposited at 10 Hz resulted from supersaturation effect by decrease of time interval between a ZnO particle arriving on a substrate by laser shot and a ZnO particle arriving on a substrate by next laser shot.

ZnO thin films for light emission device have been deposited on sapphire and silicon substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique(PLD). A Nd:YAG laser was used with the wavelength of355 nm. In order to investigate the emission properties of ZnO thin films, Pl measurements with an Ar ion laser a light source using an excitation wavelength of 351 nm and a power of 100 mW are used. All spectra were taken at room temperature by using a grating spectrometer and a photomultiplier detector. ZnO exhibited Pl bands centers around 390, 510 and 640 nm, labeled near ultra-violet(UV), green and orange bands. Structural properties of ZnO thin films are analyzed with X-ray diffraction(XRD).

Si thin films on p-type (100) Si substrate have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser. The pressure of the environmental gas during deposition was varied from 1 to 3 Torr. After deposition, Si thin film has been annealed again at nitrogen ambient. Strong violet-indigo photoluminescence have been observed from Si thin film annealed in nitrogen ambient gas. As increasing environmental gas pressure, weak green and red emissions from annealed Si thin films also observed by photoluminescence.

In recent years, there has been highly interestedin pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method for fabrication of the organic thin films, as an alternative to conventional fabrication method such as vacuum evaporation and spin coating techniques. In this study, organic thin films of $Alq_3$ (aluminato-tris-8-hydroxyquinolate) and TPD for organic light emitting diodes (OLED) were deposited by PLD using KrF excimer ($\lambda$=278 nm) laser in nitrogen atmosphere. Deposited films were evaluated by photoluminescence(PL), Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) to study the effect of the laser and $N_2$ atmosphere parameters on the structural and optical properties.

As an active emission display using emissive polymer has had much attention recently, needs for a selective patterning of emissive layer for those displays have been increased abruptly. Therefore, the various laser sources in terms of its wavelength has been used for laser direct patterning. In this work, the feasibility of those processes is examined using numerical analysis and the experimental investigation. A sample has multi-layered structure, emissive polymer on aluminum which is deposited on a glass substrate. Key factors for optimizing the laser patterning of the emissive polymer are considered into the control of ablation products, large-sized particle, and the choice of the appropriate wavelength for minimizing the heat affected zone and the remnant layer.

ZnO thin films on (001) sapphire substrates have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) technique using an Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 266nm. Before post-annealing treatment in the oxygen ambient, the experiment of the deposition of ZnO thin films has been performed for substrate temperatures in the range of $300\~450^{\circ}C$ and oxygen gas flow rate of $100\~700\;sccm$. In order to investigate the effect of post-annealing treatment of ZnO thin films, films have been annealed at various temperatures after deposition. After post-annealing treatment in the oxygen ambient, the structural properties of ZnO thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and the optical properties of the ZnO were characterized by photoluminescence(PL).

Nanocrystalline silicon(nc-Si) thin films on the silicon substrates have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition(PLD). The optical and structural properties of films have been investigated depending on deposition temperature, annealing, and oxidation process. When the deposition temperature increased, photoluminescence(PL) intensity abruptly decreased and peaks showed red shift. Annealing process could reduce the number of defect centers. Oxidation had a considerable effect upon the formation and isolation of the nanocrystals. These results indicate that the formation mechanism of Si nanocrystals grown by PLD can be explained by three steps of growth, passivating defect centers, and isolation, sequentially.
