Abstract

The effects of the evaporation rate of MgO films using an electron beam on the MgO properties and the discharge characteristics of a plasma display panel(PDP) were investigated and analyzed. Mgo films were deposited with the various MgO evaporation rates. The MgO properties such as the crystal orientation, the surface roughness, and the film structure, were inspected using XRD(X-ray diffractometry), AFM(atomic force microscopy). From the experiments and Paschen law, the maximum value of the secondary, electron emission coefficient $(\gamma)$ was obtained at the evaporation rate of $5\AA/sec$. The minimum firing voltage and the maximum luminous efficiency were obtained at an evaporation rate of $5\AA/sec$. In the MgO film deposited at $5\AA/sec$, the (200) orientation and $F^+$ center were most intensive. The XRD results and cathode-luminescence(CL) spectra show the $\gamma$ values are correlated with $F/F^+$ centers of the molecular structure of MgO films.

본 연구에서는 전자빔 증착의 증착률이 MgO 보호막의 특성과 제작된 PDP의 방전 특성에 주는 영향에 대하여 연구, 분석 하였다. MgO 박막을 여러 조건의 증착률로 증착하였고, 이 후 결정 구조, 표면 거칠기, 박막 구조와 같은 특성을 XRD, AFM 등을 사용하여 측정, 평가하였다. 실험 결과와 Paschen law을 통해서 $5\AA/sec$의 증착률에서 이차전자방출이 최대가 되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 동일 조건에서 방전 전압이 가장 작고, 발광 효율은 가장 큰 값을 갖는 것이 확인되었다. 또한 $5\AA/sec$의 (200) 결정 방향과 $F^+$ center 측정값도 가장 높게 측정되었다. XRD와 CL 스펙트럼의 결과를 통하여 이차전자방출계수가 MgO 박막의 분자 결정상의 $F/F^+$ centers구조와 관련 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
