This study was conducted to research the formation and the color development of NiO-ZnO-Fe2O3-TiO2-SnO2 system for the purpose of synthesizing the spinel pigments which are stable at high temperature. After preparing ZnO-Fe2O3 as a basic composition, {{{{ chi }}NiO.(l-{{{{ chi }})ZnO.Fe2O3 system, {{{{ chi }}NiO.(l-{{{{ chi }})ZnO.TiO2 system, and {{{{ chi }}NiO.(l-{{{{ chi }})ZnO.SnO2 system were prepared with {{{{ chi }}=0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 1 mole ratio respectively. The manufacturing was carried out at 128$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The reflectance measurement and the X-ray analysis of these specimens were carried out and the results were summarized as follows. 1. In the specimens which included NiO, it was difficult for the spinel structure to be formed. 2. As increasing the contents of NiO and Fe2O3, all the groups which were yellow or green colored changed to brown. 3. NiO-ZnO-Fe2O3 system and NiO-ZnO-TiO2 system formed the spinel structure and the illmenite structure appeared in NiO-TiO2 system.

This study was conducted to research the formation and the color development of CoO-ZnO-Fe2O3-TiO2-SnO2 system for the purpose of synthesizing the spinel pigments which are stable at high temperature. After preparing CoO-ZnO-Fe2O3, in which CoO causes the color, as a basic composition, $\chi$CoO.(1-$\chi$)ZnO.Fe2O3 system, $\chi$CoO.(1-$\chi$)ZnO.TiO2 system and $\chi$CoO.(1-$\chi$)ZnO.SnO2 system were prepared with $\chi$=0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0 mole ratio respectively. The manufacturing was carried out at 128$0^{\circ}C$ for 90 minutes. These specimens were analyzed by the reflectance measurement and the X-ray diffraction analysis and the results were summarized as follows: 1. All of the specimens formed the spinel structure and were colored with stable yellow or blue. 2. As the content of CoO and Fe2O3 in the specimens being increased, the reflectance of each specimen was measured becoming lower and the colors were changed from yellow to greyish blue and from blue to dark blue. 3. As the substituting amount of Co2+ ion for Zn2+ ion in $\chi$CoO-ZnO-TiO2-SnO2 system being increased, the colors were changed from blue to greyish blue. The colors were changed from yellow to grayish green owing to the tetrahedral Co2+ ions being increased, the octahedral Co2+ ions being decreased with increasing the amount of Sn4+ ions. 4. CoO-ZnO-Fe2O3-TiO2-SnO2 system, in which Zn2+ was substituted with Co2+ and Fe3+ was substituted with Ti4+ and Sn4+, easily formed the spinel structure without regard to the amount of substitution or the ion owing to the selectivity of the coordination number: 4 of Zn2+, 4 of Co2+, 6 of Fe3+ or 6 of Ti4+ and Sn4+.

In this paper, the properties of SnZnO films obtained from solution process with different component fractions were compared. The thermal behavior of the SnZnO solutions showed only a slight change according to the component fraction change. However, the definite changes were revealed at the structural properties of the SnZnO films. With diverse analyses, the origin of the changes was proved to the influence of phase change from $SnO_2$ to ZnO in SnZnO lattice. With the $SnO_2$-phase-dominant SnZnO, the highest field effect mobility and on/off ratio of about 8.6 $cm^2/Vs$ and $2{\times}10^8$ were achieved, respectively.

산화물 반도체는 넓은 밴드갭을 가지고 있어 가시광에서 투명하며 높은 이동도로 디스플레이 구동 회로 집적에 유리하다. 또한 가격 및 공정 측면에서도 기존의 Si 기판 소자에 비해 여러 장점을 가지고 있어 차세대 디스플레이의 핵심 기술로 산화물반도체에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 RF 동시 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 Zn-Sn-O 박막을 제조하고, 그 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성에 대해 조사하였다. 일정한 증착 온도($100^{\circ}C$)에서 ZnO와 $SnO_2$ 타켓의 인가 파워를 조절하여 Sn/(Zn+Sn) 성분비가 약 40~85%인 Zn-Sn-O 박막을 제조하였다. Sn 함량이 증가할수록 박막의 비저항은 약 $2{\times}10^{-1}$ (Sn 45%)에서 약 $2\;{\times}\;10^{-2}\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ (Sn 67%)까지 감소하다가 다시 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이 때 캐리어 농도는 $3\;{\times}\;10^{18}$에서 $4\;{\times}\;10^{19}\;cm^{-3}$으로 증가하였으며, 이동도는 11에서 $8\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$로 약간 감소하였다. XRD분석결과, 제조된 모든 Zn-Sn-O 박막은 비정질 구조를 가짐을 확인하였다. 투과율은 박막 내 Sn함량 증가에 따라 감소하나 모든 시편이 약 70%이상의 투과도를 나타내었다. Zn-Sn-O 박막의 Ga 도핑 영향을 확인하기 위해 ZnO 타켓 대신 갈륨이 5.7 wt.% 도핑된 GZO 타켓을 사용하여 동일한 공정조건에서 박막을 제조하였다. Ga이 첨가된 Zn-Sn-O 박막은 구조적 특성과 광학적 특성에서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 전기적 특성의 뚜렷한 변화가 관찰되었다. Sn 함량이 45%인 Zn-Sn-O 박막의 경우, 캐리어 농도가 $3.1\;{\times}\;10^{18}$에서 Ga 도핑 효과로 인해 $1.7\;{\times}\;10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$으로 크게 감소하고 이동도는 11에서 $20\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$로 증가하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 Zn-Sn-O 비정질 박막에 Ga을 도핑함으로써 산화물 반도체재료로서 요구되는 물성을 만족시킬 수 있다는 가능성을 제시하였다.

The electrical conductivity of SnO$_2$added ZnO was investigated using the DC and AC methods. The electrical conductivity of SnO$_2$added ZnO was decreased with increasing the concentration of SnO$_2$. The cal쳐lated effective dielectric constants of 3 mol%, 5 mo1%, and 7 mol% are ~7, ~13, and ~120, respectively. The factor of the decrease for the electrical conductivity seems to be the increase of the resistance of grain decreasing the size of grain.

In this study, ZnO nanorods and $SnO_2$-CuO heterogeneous oxide were grown on membrane-type gas sensor platforms and the sensing characteristics for carbon monoxide (CO) were studied. Diaphragm-type gas sensor platforms with built-in Pt micro-heaters were made using a conventional bulk micromachining method. ZnO nanorods were grown from ZnO seed layers using the hydrothermal method, and the average diameter and length of the nanorods were adjusted by changing the concentration of the precursor. Thereafter, $SnO_2$-CuO heterogeneous oxide thin films were grown from evaporated Sn and Cu thin films. The average diameters of the ZnO nanorods obtained by changing the concentration of the precursor were between 30 and 200 nm and the ZnO nanorods showed a sensitivity value of 21% at a working temperature of $350^{\circ}C$ and a carbon monoxide concentration of 100 ppm. The $SnO_2$-CuO heterogeneous oxide thin films showed a sensitivity value of 18% at a working temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ and a carbon monoxide concentration of 100 ppm.

본 연구에서는 기존의 투명전도박막(ITO) 재료인 Sn 성분을 Zn로 치환하여, Zn의 성분함량 변 화에 따른 투명전도박막의 특성을 조사하기 위하여, Zn이 100% 치환된 $In_2O_{3(90wt%)}-ZnO_(10wt%)$ (IZO) 그리고 Zn이 3 %와 7 % 치환된 $In_2O_{3(90wt%)}-ZnO_{(3wt%)}-SnO_{2(7wt%)}$, $In_2O_{3(90wt%)}-ZnO_{(7wt%)}-SnO_{2(3wt%)}$ (IZTO) 등의 타겟을 제작하여 RF-magnetron sputtering 법으로 투명전도박막을 성장하였다. 각각의 박막에 대해서 전기적 특성조사와 가시광선영역에서의 광투과도 특성, 성막 특성, 그리고 구조적 특성을 조사하였다. Sn이 100% Zn으로 치환된 IZO 박막의 경우 조성 성분비가 90 : 10 wt.%에서 비저항 값이 $5.2{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}cm$ 정도로 전기전도성이 매우 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 X-ray 회절패턴 분석결과 성분비에 관계없이 비정질구조임을 확인 하였다. Sn이 일부 Zn으로 치환된 IZTO 박막의 경우 성분비가 90(In) : 7(Zn) : 3(Sn) wt%의 경우 비저항 값은 $6.5{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}cm$ 정도로 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, X-ray 회절패턴 분석결과 비정질 구조임을 확인하였다. 광학적 특성으로는 가시광선영역(400~780nm)에서 IZO, IZTO 박막은 85% 이상의 매우 우수한 투과율을 나타내었다.

High-yield zinc germanium oxide ($Zn_2GeO_4$) and zinc tin oxide ($Zn_2SnO_4$) nanowires were synthesized using a hydrothermal method. We investigated the electrochemical properties of these $Zn_2GeO_4$ and $Zn_2SnO_4$ nanowires as anode materials of lithium ion battery and sodium ion battery. The $Zn_2GeO_4$ and $Zn_2SnO_4$ nanowires showed excellent cycling performance of the lithium ion battery, with a maximum capacity of 1021 mAh/g and 692 mAh/g after 50 cycles, respectively, with a high Coulomb efficiency of 98 %. For the first time, we examined the cycling performance of $Zn_2GeO_4$ and $Zn_2SnO_4$ nanowires for sodium ion batteries. The maximum capacity is 168 mAh/g and 200 mAh/g after 50 cycles, respectively, with a high Coulomb efficiency of 97%. These nanowires are expected as promising electrode materials for the development of high-performance lithium ion batteries as well as sodium ion batteries.

ZnO-$SnO_2$ films were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering using a ZnO-$SnO_2$ (2:1 molar ratio) target. The target was made from a mixture of ZnO and $SnO_2$ powders calcined at $800^{\circ}C$. The working pressure was 1 mTorr, and the rf power was 120 W. The ratio of oxygen to argon ($O_2$:Ar) was varied from 0% to 10%, and the substrate temperature was varied from $27^{\circ}C$ to $300^{\circ}C$. The crystallographic properties and the surface morphologies of the films were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force spectroscopy (AFM). The ZnO-$SnO_2$ films deposited in $O_2$:Ar = 10% exhibited resistivity higher than $10^6{\Omega}cm$ and transmittance of more than 80% in the visible range.

Recently, oxide semiconductor gas sensors consisted of n-type semiconductor materials such as $SnO_2$, ZnO and $Fe_2O_3$ have been widely used to detect reducing gases. The advantage of thick-film technology include the possibility of mass-production and automation, that of integrating the sensing element in a hybrid circuit and that of fuctional trimming of the sensor and/or the circuit. which would enable really interchangeable transducers to be prepared. In this paper, we made ZnO and $SnO_2$ gas sensors and investigated the sensitivity to CO gas. Therefore, we compared a ZnO gas sensor with a $SnO_2$ gas sensor.
