초록

차세대 유연 광전소자 적용을 위한 금속-산화물 샌드위치 구조인 ZnO/Al/ZnO 박막의 유연투명전극 기초연구를 수행하였다. 모든 증착은 유연성을 가지는 PET 기판 상에서 이루어졌으며, 상 하부 ZnO층의 두께가 광 투과도에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 Al 층의 두께는 모두 8 nm로 고정시킨 채 상부 ZnO 층의 두께는 5-70 nm, 하부 ZnO 층의 두께는 2.5-20 nm까지 변화를 주었다. 가시광선영역(380 nm-770 nm) 파장대를 가지는 광원의 투과도에 대하여 측정한 결과, 상부 ZnO 층의 두께가 30 nm이며 하부 ZnO 층의 경우 2.5 nm 일 때 가장 높은 투과도를 보였다. 400 nm 파장기준 투과도 62%, 면저항 $19{\Omega}/{\Box}$, 그리고 곡률반경 5 mm 조건에서의 휨 테스트 후 면저항과 투과도의 변화가 발생하지 않는 ZnO/Al/ZnO 유연투명전극 결과를 보고한다.

In this study, the feasibility of ZnO/Al/ZnO flexible transparent electrodes for future flexible optoelectronic devices was investigated. All depositions were performed on PET substrates. The thicknesses of the top and bottom ZnO layers were 5-70 nm and 2.5-20 nm, respectively. The highest visible light transmittance was recorded when the thicknesses of the top and bottom ZnO layers 30 nm and 2.5 nm, respectively. 62% optical transmittance (at the wavelength of 400 nm) and sheet resistance of $19{\Omega}/{\Box}$ were measured. After repetitive bending test at a curvature radius of 5 mm, the transmittance and sheet resistance did not change.
