Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted much attention because of their moderate light-to-electricity conversion efficiency, easy fabrication, and low cost. At present, platinum (Pt) is used as a counter electrode in DSSCs. However, it is found that Pt dissolves in iodide electrolyte solutions and creates chemical compound such as PtI4 and H2PtI6. Carbon based materials are one of candidates for a counter electrode of DSSCs. We prepare two types of graphite oxides by different chemical treatments; original graphite oxide, hydrazine treated graphite oxide. Each graphite oxide and magnesium nitrate dispersed in deionized water are prepared as solutions for electrophoretic deposition (EPD). Each graphite oxide electrode is deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate by EPD method. Structural and electrochemical properties of each electrode are investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, respectively.

The antimony sulfide ($Sb_2S_3$) thin films were deposited using the gas phase method which known as atomic layer deposition (ALD) on mesoporous micro-films. Tris (dimethylamido) antimony (III[$(Me_2N)_3Sb$] and hydrogensulfide ($H_2S$) were used as precursors to deposit $Sb_2S_3$. Self-terminating nature of $(Me_2N)_3Sb$ and $H_2S$ reaction were demonstrated by growth rate saturation versus precursors dosing time. Absorption spectra and extinction coefficient were investigated by UV-VIS spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopic analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profile were employed to determine the conformal deposition.

Two different transparent conducting oxide (TCO) layers of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) and $WO_3$ were prepared by a rf sputtering process. Working pressure, deposition time, and target-to-substrate distance were varied for the sputtering process to improve electrical properties of the resulting layer. Thickness of the TCO layers was measured by a profile meter of ${\alpha}$-step. To evaluate the electrical conductivity, surface resistivity of the TCO layers was measured by a four-point probe technique. Decrease of the working pressure resulted in increase of deposition rate and decrease of surface resistivity of the resulting layer. Increase of the layer thickness due to increased deposition time resulted in decrease of surface resistivity of the resulting layer. The shorter the target-to-substrate distance was, the lower was the surface resistivity of the resulting layer.

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are regarded as potential inexpensive alternatives to conventional solid-state devices. The flexible version, employing conductive-plastic-film substrates, is appealing for commercialization of DSSCs because it not only reduces the weight and cost of the device but also extends their applications. However, the need for high temperature does not permit the use of plastic-film substrate. So, development of low-temperature methods is therefore realization of flexible DSSCs. In this work, the electrophoretic deposition combined with hydrothermal treatment was employed to prepare nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ thin film at low temperature. We confirmed the prepared $TiO_2$ thin films with different voltages and deposition times in the electrophoretic deposition process. Properties of the $TiO_2$ films were investigated by various analysis method such as X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and UV-visible spectrophotometer.

Deposition of parylene (PA) films has been explored at substrate temperatures below 2$0^{\circ}C$ and pressures below 4 torr. The film thickness was measured using AFM and the film thickness measured was 3,500-12,000$\AA$ and the growth rate was 20-70$\AA$/min. T도 dielectric constant of the deposited PA films was found to be 2.66 and the dielectric strength was in excess of 2$\times$105V/cm. The growth rate became a maximum at a precursor decomposition temperature of $600^{\circ}C$. It was found that the growth rate decreased with increasing substrate temperature, whereas it increased with increasing pressure. At a precursor decomposition temperature of 75$0^{\circ}C$ or at a deposition pressure above 1 Torr the film surface became rough due to particle formation in the gas phase. The condensation of a p-xylylene monomer on the substrate surface turned out to be a rate-limiting step in the growth of the PA films.

A plasma has been used in a high vaccum, cold wall reactor for low temperature deposition of C54 TiSi2 and for in-situ surface cleaning prior to silicide deposition. SiH4 and TiCl4 were used as the silicon and titanium sources, respectively. The deposited films had low resistivities in the range of 15~25 uohm-cm. The investigation of the experimental variables' effects on the growth of silicide and its concomitant silicon consumption revealed that and were the dominant species for silicide formation and the primary factors in silicon consumption were gas composition ratio and temperature. Increasing silane flow rate from 6 to 9 sccm decreased silicon consumption from 1500 A/min to less than 30 A/min. Furthermore, decreasing the temperature from 650 to $590^{\circ}C$ achieved blanket silicide deposition with no silicon consumption. A kinetic model of silicon consumption is proposed to understand the fundamental mechanism responsible for the dependence of silicon consumption on SiH4 flow rate.

We fabricated a new type of hybrid film using molecular layer deposition (MLD). The MLD is a gas phase process analogous to atomic layer deposition (ALD) and also relies on a saturated surface reaction sequentially which results in the formation of a monolayer in each sequence. In the MLD process, polydiacetylene (PDA) layers were grown by repeated sequential surface reactions of titanium tetrachloride and 2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol with ultraviolet (UV) polymerization under a substrate temperature of $100^{\circ}C$. Ellipsometry analysis showed a self-limiting surface reaction process and linear growth of the hybrid films. Polymerization of the hybrid films was confirmed by infrared (IR) spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Composition of the films was confirmed by IR spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron (XP) spectroscopy. The titanium oxide cross-linked polydiacetylene (TiOPDA) hybrid films exhibited good thermal and mechanical stabilities.

A novel deposition process for n-type nanocrystalline silicon (n-type nc-Si) thin films at room temperature has been developed by adopting the neutral beam assisted chemical vapor deposition (NBa-CVD). During formation of n-type nc-Si thin film by the NBa-CVD process with silicon reflector electrode at room temperature, the energetic particles could induce enhance doping efficiency and crystalline phase in polymorphous-Si thin films without additional heating on substrate; The dark conductivity and substrate temperature of P-doped polymorphous~nano crystalline silicon thin films increased with increasing the reflector bias. The NB energy heating substrate(but lower than $80^{\circ}C$ and increase doping efficiency. This low temperature processed doped nano-crystalline can address key problem in applications from flexible display backplane thin film transistor to flexible solar cell.

$BiFeO_3$ (BFO)박막에 전위금속 Pb와 Co를 각각 치환환 박막을 chemical solution deposition 방법으로 Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) 기판위에 증착하였다. Bi 자리에 Pb와 Co를 20 at.% 치환하였으며, 치환된 $Bi_{0.8}Pb_{0.2}FeO_3$ (BPFO), $Bi_{0.8}Co_{0.2}FeO_3$ (BCFO) 박막의 구조적, 자기적 특성 변화를 BFO 박막과 비교하여 조사하였다. XRD 패턴을 분석한 결과 BPFO, BCFO 박막들은 모두 rhombohedrally distorted perovskite 구조였으며 불순물인 pyrochlore 상이 약하게 관측되었다. 치환이 이루어진 BPFO, BCFO 박막들의 자기 이력곡선은 안정된 포화곡선을 나타냈으며 BFO의 포화값(5 emu/$cm^3$)에 비해 크게 증가된 55 emu/$cm^3$, 35 emu/$cm^3$의 값을 나타냈다. 또한 보자력장(coercive field, Hc)값도 BFO의 500 Oe보다 크게 증가된 1,200 Oe, 800 Oe의 값을 보였다.
