Abstract

To observe the relationship between the oxygen vacancy and electrical characteristics of $TiO_2$ due to the $CO_2$ gases, the $TiO_2$ were deposited by the mixing gases of $Ar:O_2=20$ sccm:20 sccm and annealed with various temperatures. The bonding structure was changed with the annealing temperature from amorphous to crystal structure, and the oxygen vacancy was also changed with these bonding structures. The $CO_2$ gas reaction of $TiO_2$ films showed the variation in accordance with the bonding structure. The capacitance increased at the amorphous structure $TiO_2$, and the current also increased. However the oxygen vacancy decreased at this amorphous structure $TiO_2$. Because of the formation of oxygen vacancies is in inverse proportion to the amorphous structure. Moreover, the diffusion current in the depletion layer such as the amorphous structure showed the difference in accordance with the $CO_2$ gas flow rates.

본 연구는 투명산화물반도체의 전기적인 특성과 산소공공과의 관계를 알아보기 위해서 $TiO_2$ 박막을 증착하여 MIM 구조를 만들어서 전압전류 특성을 관찰하였다. 산소공공은 XPS분석으로 이루어졌으며, 커패시턴스를 측정하여 전하의 용량이 많은 곳에서 산소공공이 어떤 영향을 주는가에 대하여도 조사하였다. 열처리를 통하여 결정질구조로 변하는 $TiO_2$ 박막은 산소공공이 가장 낮은 곳에서 커패시턴스 값이 가장 높았으며, 전하의 양이 많았다. 따라서 전하의 양이 많은 $TiO_2$박막이 $CO_2$ 가스에 대하여 가장 잘 민감하게 반응하는 것을 확인하였다.
