Abstract

Recently, a smartphone manufactured on a flexible substrate has been released as an electronic device, and research on a stretchable electronic device is in progress. In this paper, a silicon-based stretchable material is made and used as a substrate to implement and evaluate an optical sensor device using oxide semiconductor. To this end, a substrate that stretches well at room temperature was made using a silicone-based solution rubber, and the elongation of 350% of the material was confirmed, and optical properties such as reflectivity, transmittance, and absorbance were measured. Next, since the surface of these materials is hydrophobic, oxygen-based plasma surface treatment was performed to clean the surface and change the surface to hydrophilicity. After depositing an AZO-based oxide film with vacuum equipment, an Ag electrode was formed using a cotton swab or a metal mast to complete the photosensor. The optoelectronic device analyzed the change in current according to the voltage when light was irradiated and when it was not, and the photocurrent caused by light was observed. In addition, the effect of the optical sensor according to the folding was additionally tested using a bending machine. In the future, we plan to intensively study folding (bending) and stretching optical devices by forming stretchable semiconductor materials and electrodes on stretchable substrates.

최근 전자소자는 플렉서블 기판상에 제작된 스마트폰이 출시되었으며, 스트레처블 한 전자소자의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 실리콘 기반의 스트레처블한 소재를 만들어 이것을 기판으로 사용하여 산화물을 이용한 광센서 소자를 구현하여 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 실리콘 기반의 용액성 고무를 이용하여 상온에서 잘 늘어나는 기판을 만들어 소재의 350% 연신율을 확인하였으며, 반사도, 투과도, 흡수도와 같은 광특성을 측정하였다. 다음으로 이러한 소재는 표면이 소수성을 나타내기 때문에 표면 세정 및 친수성으로 변화시키기 위하여 산소 기반의 플라즈마 표면 처리를 진행하였으며, 진공장비로 AZO(Aluminium Zinc Oxide) 기반의 산화막을 증착한 후 면봉을 이용하거나 메탈 마스트로 Ag 전극을 형성시켜 광센서를 완성하였다. 제작된 광전자소자는 빛을 조사했을 때와 하지 않았을 때의 전압에 따른 전류 변화를 분석하여 광에 의하여 생성된 캐리어들에 의한 광전류를 관찰하였으며, 벤딩 장비를 이용하여 폴딩에 따른 광센서소자 영향성을 추가 테스트하였다. 벤딩 테스트 전과 빛에 의해 생성되는 전류값 변화를 추가로 분석하였다. 향후 스트레처블 기판위에 늘어나는 반도체 물질 및 전극을 형성하여 폴딩(벤딩) 및 늘어나는 광소자를 집중적으로 연구할 계획이다.
