We designed new compositions for lead free and low temperature sealing glass frit of $ZnO-V_2O_5-P_2O_5$ system, which can be used for PDP (Plasma Display Panel) or other electronic devices. The $ZnO-V_2O_5-P_2O_5$ system can be used as a sealing material at temperatures even lower than 430$^{\circ}C$. This system, however, showed lower bonding strength with glass substrate compared to commercialized Pb based sealing materials. So, we added $TiO_2$ as a promoter for bonding strength. We examined the effect of $TiO_2$ addition on sealing behaviors of $ZnO-V_2O_5-P_2O_5$ glasses with the data for flow button, wetting angle, temporary & permanent residual stress of glass substrate, EPMA analysis of interface between sealing materials and glass substrate, and bonding strength. As a result, sealing characteristics of $ZnO-V_2O_5-P_2O_5$ system glasses were improved with $TiO_2$ addition, but showed a maximum value at 5 mol% $TiO_2$ addition. The reason for improved bonding characteristics was considered to be the chemical interaction between glass substrate and sealing glass, and structural densification of sealing glass itself.

In this study, we developed a lead-free $P_2O_5-V_2O_5-ZnO$ glass frit for sealing OLED using laser irradiation. The frit satisfied the characteristics required for laser sealing such as low glass transition temperature, low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), high water-resistance, and high absorption at the wavelength of the laser beam. Ceramic fillers were added to the glass frit in order to further reduce and match its CTE with that of the commercial glass substrate. The addition of Zirconium Tungsten Phosphate (ZWP) to the frit yielded the most desirable results, reducing the CTE to $45.4{\times}10^{-7}/^{\circ}C$, which is very close to that of the glass substrate ($44.0{\times}10^{-7}/^{\circ}C$). Successful formation of a solid sealing layer was observed by optical and scanning electron microscopy.

All transparent metal oxide photoelectric device based on $V_2O_5$ was fabricated with structure of $V_2O_5/ZnO/ITO$ by magnetron sputtering system. $V_2O_5$ was deposited by reactive sputtering system with 4 inch vanadium target (purity 99.99%). In order to achieve p-n junction, p-type $V_2O_5$ was deposited onto the n-type ZnO layer. The ITO (indium tin oxide) was applied as the electron transporting layer for effective collection of the photo-induced electrons. Electrical and optical properties were analyzed. The Mott-Schottky analysis was applied to investigate the energy band diagram through the metal oxide layers. The $V_2O_5/ZnO/ITO$ photoelectric device has a rectifying ratio of 99.25 and photoresponse ratios of 1.6, 4.88 and 2.68 under different wavelength light illumination of 455 nm, 560 nm and 740 nm. Superior optical properties were realized with the high transmittance of average 70 % for visible light range. Transparent $V_2O_5$ layer absorbs the short wavelength light efficiently while passing the visible light. This research may provide a route for all-transparent photoelectric devices based on the adoption of the emerging p-type $V_2O_5$ metal oxide layer.

Al-doped p-type ZnO films were fabricated on n-Si (100) and homo-buffer layers in pure oxygen at $450^{\circ}C$ of by RF magnetron sputtering. Target was ZnO ceramic mixed with 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$. XRD spectra show that the Al-doped ZnO thin films have ZnO crystal structure and homo-buffer layers are beneficial to Al-doped ZnO films to grow along c-axis. Hall Effect experiments with Van der Pauw configuration show that p-type carrier concentrations are ranged from $1.66{\times}10^{16}$ to $4.04{\times}10^{18}\;cm^{-3}$, mobilities from 0.194 to $2.3\;cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and resistivities from 7.97 to $18.4\;{\Omega}cm$. p-type sample has density of $5.40\;cm^{-3}$ which is smaller than theoretically calculated value of $5.67\;cm^{-3}$. XPS spectra show that Ols has O-O and Zn-O structures and Al2p has only Al-O structure. P-ZnO:Al/n-ZnO:Al junctions were fabricated by magnetron sputtering. V-I curves show that the p-n junctions have rectifying characteristics.

ZnO는 육방정계결정구조의 물질로서 3.37 eV의 넓은 띠 간격과 60 meV의 큰 exciton 결합에너지에 따른 높은 효율의 자외선발광으로 짧은 파장의 빛 (녹, 청, 자외선)을 내는 LED (Light Emitting Diode) 분야에서 관심을 기울이고 있는 물질이다. LED제작을 위해서는 n형의 ZnO와 p형의 ZnO가 필요하지만 기본적으로 ZnO은 n형이므로 신뢰성 있는 p형 ZnO박막을 제작하기 위한 노력이 기울여지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition)로 제작된 ZnO박막에 20 keV의 에너지를 갖는 질소이온을 $10^{13}{\sim}10^{15}ions/cm^2$로 조사한 후 Hall 효과 측정장치를 이용하여 질소이온 조사에 따른 전기적 특성변화를 조사하였다.

In this study, we demonstrate that ZnO deposited onto $SiO_2$ substrates by magnetron sputtering produces p-type ZnO at higher $O_2$ pressure and n-type ZnO at lower $O_2$ pressure. We also report the effect of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) on the stability of undoped ZnO thin films. The films were immersed in 30% $H_2O_2$ for 1 min at $30^{\circ}C$ and annealed in $O_2$at $450^{\circ}C$. The carrier concentration, mobility. and conductivity were measured by a Hall effect measurement system. The Hall measurement results for ZnO films untreated with $H_2O_2$ but annealed in $O_2$ indicate that oxygen fraction greater than ~0.5 produces undoped p-type ZnO films, whereas oxygen fraction less than ~0.5 produces undoped n-type ZnO films. This is attributed to the fact that the oxygen vacancies ($V_o$) decrease and the oxygen interstitials ($O_i$) or zinc vacancies ($V_{Zn}$) increase with increasing oxygen atoms incorporated into ZnO films during deposition and $O_2$ post-annealing.

Al-doped p-type ZnO thin films were fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering on n-Si (100) and homo-buffer layers in pure oxygen ambient. ZnO ceramic mixed with 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$ was selected as a sputtering target. XRD spectra show that the Al-doped ZnO thin films have ZnO crystal structure. Hall Effect experiments with Van der Pauw configuration show that p-type carrier concentrations are arranged from $1.66{\times}10^{16}$ to $4.04{\times}10^{18}\;cm^{-2}$, mobilities from 0.194 to $198\;cm^2V{-1}s^{-1}$ and resistivities from 0.0963 to $18.4\;{\Omega}cm$. FESEM cross section images of different parts of a p-type ZnO:Al thin film annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ show a compact structure. Measurement for same sample shows that density is $5.40\;cm^{-3}$ which is smaller than theoretically calculated value of $5.67\;cm^{-3}$. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra at 10 K show a shoulder peak of p-type ZnO film at about 3.117 eV which is ascribed to electron transition from donor level to acceptor level (DAP).

ZnO는 직접 천이형 반도체로써, 상온에서 3.4eV에 해당하는 띠틈을 가지고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 60meV의 큰 엑시톤 결합에너지를 가지고 있어 단파장 광전 소자 영역의 LED(Light Emitting Diode)나 LD(Laser Diode)에 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 일반적으로 격자틈새 Zn(Zni2+)이온이나 O 빈자리(V02+)이온과 같은 자연적인 도너 이온이 존재하여 n-형 전도성을 나타낸다. 그러므로 ZnO계 LED와 LD의 개발에 있어서 가장 중요한 연구 과제는 재현성 있고 안정된 고농도의 p-형 ZnO박막을 성장시키는 것이다. 하지만, 자기보상효과나 얕은 억셉터 준위, 억셉터의 낮은 용해도로 인하여 어려움을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고품질의 p-형 ZnO박막을 제작하기 위해 AlN를 도핑시킨 ZnO박막을 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 법을 이용하여 Ar과 O2분위기에서 성장시켰다. ZnO와 AlN타겟을 동시에 사용하였으며, ZnO타겟에 걸어준 RF 파워는 80W, AlN타겟에 걸어준 RF 파워는 5~20W로 변화시켰다. 박막의 전기적, 광학적 특성은 XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), REELS (Reflection Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry), AES (Auger Electron Spectroscopy), Hall measurement를 이용하여 연구하였다. XPS측정결과, AlN를 도핑시킨 ZnO박막의 Zn2p3/2와 O1s피크는 undoped ZnO박막의 피크보다 낮은 결합에너지에서 측정되었다. 모든 박막이 결정화 되었으며, (002)방향으로 우선적으로 성장된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 홀 측정 결과, 기판을 $200^{\circ}C$로 가열하면서 성장시킨 박막이 p-형을 나타내었으며, 비저항(Resistivity)이 $5.51{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}m$, 캐리어 농도(Carrier Concentration)가 $1.96{\times}1018cm^{-3}$, 이동도(Mobility)가 $481cm^2$/Vs이었다. 또한 QUEELS -Simulation에 의한 광학적 특성분석 결과, 가시광선영역에서 투과율이 90%이상으로 투명전자소자로의 응용이 가능하다는 것을 보여주었다.

Investigation of improving the properties of UV detector which uses the wide bandgap of ZnO are under active progress. The present study focused on the design and fabrication of i-ZnO/p-inversion $layer/n^--Si$ Epi. which is characterized with very thin p-type inversion layer for UV detectors. The i-ZnO thin film for achieving p-inversion layer which was grown by RF sputtering at $450^{\circ}C$ and then annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ in $O_2$ gas for 20 min shows good intrinsic properties. High (0002) peak intensity of the i-ZnO film is shown on XRD spectrum and it is confirmed by XPS analysis that the ratio of Zn : O of the i-ZnO film is nearly 1 : 1. Measurement shows high transmission of 79.5 % in UV range (< 400 nm) for the i-ZnO film. Measurement of $V_r-I_{ph}$ shows high UV photo-current of 1.2 mA under the reverse bias of 30 V.
