YBCO step-edge Josephson junction were fabricated on sapphire substrates. The steps were formed on R-plane sapphire substrates by using Ar ion milling with PR masks. The step angle was controlled in the wide range from 25$^{\circ}$ to 50$^{\circ}$ by adjusting both the Ar ion incident angle and the photoresist mask rotation angle relative to the incident Ar ion beam. CeO$_2$ buffer layer and in-situ YBa$_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (YBCO) thin films was deposited on the stepped R-plane sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition method. The YBCO film thickness was varied to obtain the ratio of film thickness to step height in the range from 0.5 to 1. The step edge junction exhibited RSJ-like behaviors with I$_cR_n$ product of 100 ${\sim}$ 300 ${\mu}$V, critical current density of 10$^3$ ${\sim}$ 10$^5$ A/ cm$^2$ at 77 K.

We fabricated a new hairpin type HTS 2-pole microstrip Bandpass filter to operate at 5.8GHz. The fabrication method was pulsed laser deposition and YBCO films were deposited on ${\alpha}$-A1$_2O_3$ substrates with a CeO$_2$ thin layer as a buffer layer. We developed a new style hairpin type filter by using interdigitide innerpole. Compared to the saute size regular hairpin type filters, our filter had a lower center frequency, bandwidth and loss by an amount of 14.5%, 29.6%, 0.5488dB, respectively. The size of the filters were 13.7${\times}$3.3mm. We did simulations on the several types of band pass filters by using HFSS and serenade. We measured growth rate and Tc of YBCO films grown on CeO$_2$/ ${\alpha}$-A1$_2O_3$ substrates which were rotated while growing films.

We have investigated the microwave properties of a high-T$_c$. superconducting Josephson junction by Shapiro step measurements. A Josephson junction was fabricated on the bicrystal MgO substrate using pulsed laser deposition method. We have measured Shapiro steps in the I-V characteristics under the irradiation of 1.36 cm wavelength up to 45 K and found inclined current steps above 50 K. In order to understand these results, we introduced an additional resistance connected in series to RSJ model. Using this modified RSJ model, we could explain the inclined current steps as a result of superposition of the junction and an additional resistance above certain temperatures. Also, we presented the received power of the Josephson junction above 50 K.

We studied the effect of the variation of the lattice constant on the electrical properties of $SrRuO_3$ thin films. In order to obtain films with different volumes, we varied the substrate temperature and oxygen pressure during the growth of the films on $SrTiO_3$ (001) substrates. The films were grown using a pulsed laser deposition method. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the grown films at low temperature and low oxygen pressure indicated the elongation of the c-axis lattice constant compared to that of the films grown at a higher temperature and higher oxygen pressure. The in-plane strain states are maintained for all of the films, implying the expansion of the unit-cell volume by the oxygen vacancies. The variation of the electrical resistance reflects the temperature dependence of the resistivity of the metal, with a ferromagnetic transition temperature inferred form the cusp of the curve being observed in the range from 110 K to 150 K. As the c-axis lattice constant decreases, the transition temperature linearly increases.

Ferroelectric materials have been widely investigated for high density dynamic random access memories, opto-electrics, and tunable microwave devices due to their properties. In this study, we have investigated the dielectric properties of Ti doped $K(Ta,\;Nb)O_3$ thin films. By doping Ti Into the $K(Ta,Nb)O_3$ system, Ti with a valence value of +4 will substitute Ta or Nb ions with a valence value of +5. This substitution will introduce an acceptor state. Therefore, this introduced acceptor state will reduce dielectric loss by trapping electrons. Using 3% Ti-doped $K(Ta,Nb)O_3\;targets,\;K(Ta,Nb)O_3$:Ti films were grown in MgO(001) crystals using pulsed laser deposition. First, growth conditions were optimized. A reduction in the loss tangent was observed for Ti-doped $K(Ta,Nb)O_3$ relative to undoped films, although a reduction in tunability is also seen. The crystallinity, morphology, and tunability of $K(Ta,Nb)O_3$:Ti films are reported.

This work presents the design, fabrication and microwave performance of distributed analog phase shifter (DAPS) fabricated on $(Ba,\;Sr)TiO_3$ (BST) thin films for X-band applications. Ferroelectric BST thin films were deposited on MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The DAPS consists of high impedance coplanar waveguide (CPW) and periodically loaded tunable BST interdigitated capacitors (IDC). In order to reduce the insertion loss of DAPS and to remove the alteration of unloaded CPW properties according to an applied dc bias voltage, BST layer under transmission lines were removed by photolithography and RF-ion milling. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulated results at the frequencies of interest. The measured differential phase shift based on BST thin films was $24^{\circ}$ and the insertion loss decreased from 1.1 dB to 0.7 dB with increasing the bias voltage from 0 to 40V at 10 GHz.

본 연구에서는 마이크로파 유전체 소자로서의 응용 및 절연 산화막으로의 응용을 위해 마이크로파 유전체 세라믹으로 사용되어 온 MgTiO3 물질을 펄스 레이저로 박막을 제조하였다. MgTiO3 는 주로 고주파에서 높은 유전율을 갖고 높은 품질계수 (22.000 at 5 GHz) 혹은 낮은 유전손실을 갖으며 유전특성의 온도 안정성이 우수하여 유전체 세라믹 재료로 응용된다. MgTiO3 박막의 성장은 KrF(파장:248nm) 엑시머 레이저를 이용했으며 공정조건으로 박막의 성장온도는 500-75$0^{\circ}C$, 산소 압력은 10-5-200mTorr, 성장 후 냉각시 산소분위기는 200Torr, 레이저 에너지 밀도는 1.5-5J/cm2 등의 조건으로 박막을 성장하였다. MgTiO3 박막을 여러 가지 기판, 즉 Al2O3(r-plane), Si, Pt 위에 성장시켰으며 기판에 따라 에픽텍셜 혹은 다결정 상태를 갖는 ilmenite 구조로 성장되었다. PLD(Pulsed laser deposition)법에 의해 형성된 MgTiO3 박막을 보면, 우선 Al2O3(r-plane) 기판위에 성장된 경우 $700^{\circ}C$에서 에픽텍셜하게 성장하였으며, Si 기판 위에 성장된 경우 $650^{\circ}C$에서부터 (003)면으로 우선 배향된 단일상의 ilmenite 구조가 형성된다. Ptdnl에 성장된 경우 $600^{\circ}C$에서부터 (003)면으로 우선배향성을 가지며 $650^{\circ}C$에서 결정의 안정화를 이루었으나, MgTiO3 박막은 전기적 특성으로 유전특성 및 유전분산 특성 등이 측정 분석되어 MgTiO3 박막의 고주파 유전체로의 응용에 관한 가능성을 토의하였다.

ZnO thin films are demanded for device applications, so ZnO buffer layer was used to improve for good properties of ZnO thin film. In this study, the structural, electrical and optical properties of ZnO thin films deposited with various buffer thickness was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Hall measurements, Photoluminescence(PL). ZnO buffer layer and ZnO thin films on sapphire($Al_{2}O_{3}$) substrate have been deposited $200^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ respectively by pulsed laser deposition. It is observed the variety of lattice constant of ZnO thin film by (101) peak position shift with various buffer thickness. It is founded that ZnO thin film with buffer thickness of 20 nm was larger resistivity of 200 factor and UV/visible of 2.5 factor than that of ZnO thin films without buffer layer. ZnO thin films with buffer thickness of 20 nm have shown the most properties.

ZnO and phosphorus doped ZnO thin films (ZnO:P) are deposited by pulsed laser deposition grown on (001) $Al_{2}O_{3}$. ZnO/ZnO:P/ZnO/$Al_{2}O_{3}$ (multi-layer) structure was used for phosphorus doped ZnO fabrication. This multi-layer structure thin film was annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ for 40 min. The electron concentration of that was changed from $10^{19}$ to $10^{16}/cm^{-3}$ after annealing. ZnO thin films with encapsulated structure showed the enhanced structural and optical properties than phosphorus doped ZnO without encapsulated layer. In this study, encapsulated ZnO structure was suggested to enhance electrical, structural and optical properties of phosphorus doped ZnO thin film and it was identified that encapsulated structure could be used to fabricate high quality phosphorus doped ZnO thin film.

Ferroelectric $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ (PZT) films were deposited on SrTiO3(100) substrate by using conductive $SrRuO_3$ films as underlayer and their structural and ferroelectric properties were investigated. PZT films were grown in (00l) orientation on well lattice-matched pseudo-cubic $SrRuO_3$ films. Thickness dependence of ferroelectric and electrical properties of PZT films was investigated. PZT film with 400 nm thickness showed a remanent polarization ($P_r$) of $29.0{\mu}C/cm^2$ and coercive field ($E_c$) of 83 kV/cm, and $P_r$ decreased and $E_c$ increased with thickness reduction. The dielectric constant for PZT films showed gradual decrease with thickness reduction. Breakdown field of PZT films did not show the thickness dependence and displayed as high value as 1 MV/cm.
