In recent years, flexible display devices such as liquid crystal display (LCD), organic light emitting diode (OLED), etc. have attracted considerable interest in a wide variety of applications. Polymer substrate is absolutely necessary to realize this kind of flexible display devices. Using the polymer as a substrate, there are lots of advantages including not only mechanical flexibility such as rolling and bending characteristics but also light weights, low cost and so on. In detail, thickness and weights is only one forth and one second of glass substrate, respectively. However, it needs low temperature below $150^{\circ}C$ in the fabrication process comparing to conventional deposition process. The polymer substrate is not thermally stable as much as the glass substrate so that some deformation can be occurred according to variation of temperature. In particular, performance of devices can be easily deteriorated by shrinkage of substrate when heating it. In this paper, pre-annealing and deposition of buffer layer was introduced and studied to solve previously mentioned problems of the shrinkage and followed shear stress.

Ever since the experimental discovery of graphene exfoiliated from the graphite flakes by Geim et at., this area has drawn a lot of attention for its possible application in IT industry. For the growth of graphene, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has been widely used to fabricate the large area graphene. The lateral size of this graphene can be easily controlled by the size of the metal substrate though the chemical etching to remove this substrate is somewhat troublesome. Another problem which is hard to avoid is the folding at the grain boundary. We will discuss the origin of the folding first and introduce the way to avoid this folding. To solve this problem, we have used the various types of micro-thin metal foils. The precise control of hydro-carbon and the carrier gas results in the formation of the graphene on top of substrate. The thickness of graphene layers can be controlled with the control of gas flow on top of Cu substrate in contrast to the previously reported self-limiting growth $behavior^1$. Uniformity of this graphene layer has been checked by micro-raman spectroscopy and SEM. The size of grain can be enhanced by thermal treatment or use of other metal substrate. The dependence of grain size on the lattice size of the substrate will be discussed. By selecting the shape of substrate, we can grow various types of graphene. We will introduce the micron size graphene tube and its application.

Antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) thin films, one type of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films, were prepared on a SiO₂-coated glass substrate with different substrate temperatures by a radio-frequency magnetron sputtering system. Structural, optical, and electrical characteristics of the deposited ATO films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, alpha-step, ultraviolet-visible spectrometer, and Hall effect measurement. The substrate temperature during deposition did not affect the basic crystal structure of the films but changed the grain size and film thickness. The optical transmittance of the ATO films deposited at different substrate temperatures was over 70%. The lowest sheet resistance and resistivity were 8.43 × 10² Ω/sq, and 0.3991 × 10^-2 Ω·cm, respectively, and the highest carrier concentration and mobility were 2.36 × 10²¹ cm^-3 and 6.627 × 10^-2 cm²V^-1s^-1, respectively, at a substrate temperature of 400 ℃.

Establishment of adhesion strength measurement procedure for marine epoxy coatings was conducted in order to ensure reliability of the test results. It was found that (1) the increase in thickness of the substrates would induce increase of pull-off strength. Especially, the increase in adhesion strength with the substrate thickness increment was attributed to the transition of stress mode to the pure tensile mode excluding bending effect. (2) The longer curing time, the higher pull-off strength. It may be due to higher cross-linking density of the coating (3) The pull-off strength increases as coating thickness increases due to the diminishment of bending effect (4) The longer drying time after water immersion, the higher pull-off strength. It may be due to the evaporation of water molecule at the coating-substrate interface.

For the fabrication of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ thick film, a substrate of $Y_2BaCuO_5$ was fabricated by adding $CeO_2$ into $Y_2BaCuO_5$ and two types of doping materials added with binder material were prepared. Each doping material was patterned on $Y_2BaCuO_5$substrate by the screen printing method and then was annealed at the temperature with a few step. It could be observed by X-ray diffraction patterns and SEM photographs that through the diffusion process of the $Y_2BaCuO_5$ and each doping material, the $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ phase was formed. And with n additive of $CeO_2$ the thickness of formed $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$decreased. From the experiment of current limiting on thick film, the sample with thiner thickness of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ showed the more effective characteristics of current limiting.

In this thesis, We Fabricated Cu thin films of 1000 $\AA$, 3000 $\AA$, and 6000 $\AA$ thickness on the single crystal sapphire, polycrystal alumina, and amorphous slide glass substrates deposited by electron beam evaporation(EBE) method. We investigated properties of resistivity and adhesion of these Cu thin films under various conditions, substrate temperature(room temperature, 10$0^{\circ}C$, 20$0^{\circ}C$ under vacuum) and annealing temperatures(400 $^{\circ}C$, 600 $^{\circ}C$ for 30 min after the deposition). We found that these adhesion was increased in order of slide glass, sapphire, and alumina. The adhesion of the Cu thin films on alumina was high value about 4 times, compared with that of the Cu thin films on slide glass. We found that these resistivities were decreased with increasing substrate temperature and thin film thickness. The resistivity(2.05 $\mu$Ω\ulcornercm) of the Cu thin films with 6000 $\AA$ thickness at 200 $^{\circ}C$ on the slide glass was low value, compared with that of aluminum(2.66 $\mu$Ω\ulcornercm).

A method of improving the anti-fouling characteristics of porcelain insulators was proposed in this study. Functional coating was performed as a method of reducing the surface contamination of the porcelain insulators. The functional coating was applied on a ceramic substrate, which has the same material as the porcelain insulators. After coating the ceramic substrate 2, 3, 4, and 5 times alternately in the horizontal and vertical directions, the surface characteristics according to the thickness of the coating film were analyzed. The optimal process was selected to coat the surfaces of the post insulators and long rod insulators, which are the representative porcelain insulators. After coating, heat treatment was performed for 1 hour at $200^{\circ}C$ in a furnace to secure the durability of the coating film. Compared to the uncoated insulators, the insulators with the functional coating showed significantly improved anti-fouling characteristics as well as excellent adhesion to the coated insulator surface.

Platinum-Cobalt alloy thin films were deposited on Al$_2$O$_3$ substrate by r.f. cosputtering for RTD temperature sensors. We made Pt-Co alloy resistance patterns on the Al$_2$O$_3$ substrate by lift-off method and investigated the physical and electrical characteristics of these films under various conditions (the input power, working vacuum, annealing temperature, thickness of thin films) and also after annealing these films. At input power of Pt : 4.4 W/$\textrm{cm}^2$, Co : 6.91 W/$\textrm{cm}^2$, working vacuum on and annealing conditions of 1000 $^{\circ}C$ and 60 min, the resistivity and the sheet resistive thin films were 15 ${\mu}$$\Omega$$.$cm and 0.5 $\Omega$/$\square$, respectively. The TCR value of Pt-Co a films was measured with various thickness of thin films and annealing temperature. T TCR value is gained under condition 3000${\AA}$ of thin films thickness and 1000$^{\circ}C$ of temperature. These results indicate that Pt-Co alloy thin films have potentiality for the wide temperature ranges.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of grinding process and thickness on the fracture strength of silicon die used for semiconductor substrate. Method: Silicon wafers with different thickness from $200{\mu}m$ to $50{\mu}m$ were prepared by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) and dicing before grinding (DBG) process, respectively. Fracture load was measured by point load test for 50 silicon dies per each wafer. Results: Fracture strength at the center area was lower than that at the edge area of the wafer fabricated by DBG process, while random distribution of the fracture strength was observed for the CMPed wafer. Average fracture strength of DBGed specimens was higher than that of the CMPed ones for the same thickness of wafer. Conclusion: DBG process can be more helpful for lowering fracture probability during the semiconductor fabrication process than CMP process.
