Bi4Ti3O12 thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/Si(p-100) substrate by RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature, and crystallized in a RTA furnace at temperature of 675°C for 10 minutes. SIMS analysis identifies that bismuth content in the Bi4Ti3O12 thin film reduced slightly from the surface into a depth of approximately 200 nm. XRD patterns revealed (117) phase was dominated regardless the film thickness, and the intensity of the other peaks increased with the increase of film thickness. (200) peak became dominant when the thickness of films were greater than 680 nm. SEM observation showed that the grains were stripe plate-like, and the grain size increased with the increase of film thickness. Dielectric constant increased with the increase of film thickness, and kept around a certain value with the thickness ranging from 300 to 640 nm, then it rose again as the film thickness above 680 nm. The leakage current and electrical breakdown also strongly depended on the film thickness.

Dense oxide coated AZ 31 magnesium alloy surfaces were uniformly formed using a radio frequency magnetron sputtering method. The magnesium oxide thin film thickness was about 240 nm. XRD results of the film indicated that film of magnesium oxide single phase was deposited. The surface of the film was uniform and no crack was observed. The Vickers hardness measured by the nanoindenter was about Hv80 and Hv200 for the AZ31 substrate and the sample coated with the thin film, respectively. The dynamic hardness of the AZ31 substrate and the sample coated with the thin film were almost the same. In the curve at the time of pressurization, a step was observed in the sample coated with the thin film. On the other hand, many steps were observed in the data curve for the thin film deposited on the glass substrate.

A fiber Bragg grating patterned on a SnO2 thin film deposited on the flat surface of a D-shaped polished optical fiber is studied in this work. The fabrication parameters of this structure were optimized to achieve a trade-off among reflected power, full width half maximum (FWHM), sensitivity to the surrounding refractive index (SRI), and figure of merit (FOM). In the first place, the influence of the thin film thickness, the cladding thickness between the core and the flat surface of the D-shaped fiber (neck), and the length of the D-shaped zone over the reflected power and the FWHM were assessed. Reflected peak powers in the range from −2 dB to −10 dB can be easily achieved with FWHM below 100 pm. In the second place, the sensitivity to the SRI, the FWHM, and the FOM were analyzed for variations of the SRI in the 1.33–1.4 range, the neck, and the thin-film thickness. The best sensitivities theoretically achieved for this device are next to 40 nm/RIU, while the best FOM has a value of 114 RIU−1.
