ZnO- TiO$_2$, and Sn0$_2$ - Ti0$_2$ ceramic composites doped with TiO$_2$ were prepared and their electrical and 1000ppm CO gas sensing properties were investigated. The phases of samples were analyzed by XRD, and the microsturctures of the fractured surface of samples were observed by SEM. A carbon monoxide gas sensitivity was de¬fined as the ratio of the resistance in dry air atmosphere(R$drt air$) to the resistance in 1000ppm CO gas atmosphere(R$_co$) The CO gas sensitivity of Smol% Ti0$_2$-added ZnO decreased about 1.7 times compared to that of pure ZnO. On the other hand, the maximum CO gas sensitivity of Ti0$_2$-added SnO$_2$ increased about 2.5 times compared to that of pure SnO$_2$. Therefore, the CO gas sensitivies of SnO$_2$-TiO$_2$ composite were better than those of ZnO- Ti0$_2$ and the temper¬ature range showing the maximum sensitivity for Sn0$_2$-TiO$_2$ composite was lower than that for ZnO- Ti0$_2$.

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.

[ $In_2O_3-ZnO(IZO)$ ] and $In_2O_3-ZnO-SnO_2(IZTO)$ thin films were prepared on EAGLE 2000 glass webs in a Ar gas by RF-Magnetron sputtering. Electrical resistivity and optical transmittance of the films were investigated. IZO, IZTO film showed excellent optical transmittance of 85 % at the visible $400{\sim}$780 nm wavelength. Electrical properties of IZO film have $6.50{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ (95 $In_2O_3$ : 5 ZnO wt.%) and $5.20{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ (90 : 10 wt.%), IZTO film have $8.00{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ (90 $In_2O_3$ : 3 ZnO : 7 $SnO_2$ wt.%) and $6.50{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ (90 : 7 : 3 wt.%). Substitution of SnO to ZnO in ITO films showed slightly lower electrical conductivity than ITO film but showed similar optical transmittance.

Ag-Cd alloy has been widely used as an electrical contact material, since Ag-Cd alloy has a good wear resistance and stable contact resistance. But nowadays Ag-Cd alloy is not considered as electrical contact material any more due to detrimental effect on environments. Currently, active researches are being performed on ($Ag-SnO_2$ and $Ag-SnO_{2}-In_{2}O_{3}$) as an alternative solution which can fix the remaining environmental problems. However, $In_{2}O_{3}$ is relatively expensive and Ag-Sn alloy has low wear resistance. Our recent research results show that Ag-X%Zn-Y%Sn has similar physical and chemical properties. In the present study, so we tried to change and to optimize the Zn oxide content to over 6 wt% and Sn oxide content with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 wt%. Results obtained from the experiments on the Ag-X%ZnO-Y%$SnO_2$ are discussed.

$ZnO-SnO_2(ZTO)$ was deposited by RF magnetron sputtering using a ceramic target whose Zn atomic ratio to Sn is 2:1 as a target, and the crystal structure variation with thermal treats was investigated. Transparent thin film transistors (TTFT) were fabricated using the ZTO films as active layers. About 100 nm-thick $Si_3N_4$ film grown on 100 nm-thick $SiO_2$ film was adopted as gate dielectrics. The mobility, threshold voltage, $I_{on}/I_{off}$, and interface trap density were obtained from the transfer characteristics of ZTO TTFTs. The effects of substrate temperature, and post-annealing on the property variation of ZTO TTFT were analyzed.

ZST powders were synthesized by coprecipitation of (Zr4+, Ti4+)-hydroxide in the presence of SnO2 particles. Zn(NO3)2 was used as a sintering additive, and according to the adding sequence, sintering and dielectric properties were investigated. Sintered densities of ZST prepared by adding Zn(NO3)2 before calcination were a little higher than those added after calcination, and dielectric properties of the specimen added by Zn(NO3)2 after calcination were better (sintered at 125$0^{\circ}C$/2 h ; Q$\times$f(GHz)=49, 000, $\varepsilon$r=41) than before calcination (Q$\times$f(GHz)=42, 000, $\varepsilon$r=39.5). Through the observation of TEM, it was identified that the cause was due to the difference of the degree of Zn2+ diffusion into grains. With increasing sintering time from 2 to 8 hrs, grain size was doubled and dielectric properties were somewhat deteriorated.

Contact materials are used in many electrical devices. Ag-Cd alloy has been widely used in electrical part, because Ag-Cd alloy has a good wear resistance and stable contact resistance. But nowadays Ag-Cd alloy isn't being used because of environmental challenges. Currently new research is being done on ($Ag-SnO_2$ and $Ag-SnO_2-In_2O_3$) as an alternative solution to fix any remainly environmental challenges. However $In_2O_3$ is more expensive and Ag-Sn alloy has low wear resistance. According to our research data Zn has a similar physical and chemical property. In this work, so we changed and optimized the Zn oxide to over 4 and added Sn oxide ratio 0.5, 1.0, 1.5wt%. Conclusions from the data recorded from the experiment of $Ag-ZnO-SnO_2$ are as follows.

InGaZnO 박막트랜지스터(TFT)는 기존의 널리 사용되던 비정질 실리콘보다 높은 전하이동도와 Ion/off, 우수한 균일성과 신뢰성의 장점으로 최근 AMOLED양산에 적용되기 시작 하였다. 그러나 60인치 이상의 대면적 디스플레이와 초고해상도의 성능을 동시에 만족하기 위해 10 cm2/Vs정도의 전하이동도를 가지는 InGaZnO로는 한계가 있어 30 cm2/Vs 이상의 전하이동도를 가지는 물질의 연구가 필요하다. 연구에서는 높은 전하이동도를 만족하기 위해 InO2를, 우수한 신뢰성을 가지는 SnO2를 포함하는 InZnSnO로 실험을 진행하였다. 스퍼터링 시스템에서 ITO 타겟과 ZTO 타겟을 사용하여 동시증착법으로 채널을 증착하였고, 산소 분압 변화시에 IZTO TFT 소자 특성의 의존성을 평가하였다. Ar : O2=10 : 0 일 때와 Ar : O2=7 : 3 일 때의 이동도가 각각 12.6cm2/Vs, 19.7cm2/Vs로 산소 비율이 증가함에 따라 전하이동도가 증가하였다. 기존 IGZO 산화물 반도체에서는 산소 비율이 증가하면 산소공공(VO) 농도감소로 인해 전하이동도가 감소한다. 이는 전하농도가 증가하면 전하이동도가 증가하는 percolation 전도기구로 이해할 수 있다. 그러나 본 IZTO 물질에서는 산소비율 증가에 따라 오히려 전하이동도가 증가하였는데, 이는 IZTO 반도체에 함유된 Sn 이온의 가전자상태가 +2/+4가의 상대적 비율이 산소농도에 따라 의존하기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다.

In this study, new composition of orange color pigment was developed by replacing formerly used lead and chromium with environment-friendly elements. $TiO_2-SnO-ZnO$ composite was synthesized using the solid state reaction under the reducing atmosphere with the LPG and air mixture gas. The synthesized pigments were characterized by spectrophotometer, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The colorimetric analysis of pigments exhibited color values ranging from yellow to orange-red. Five different crystalline phases were formed after the heat treatment for 4 and 6 hours. The color of pigments was strongly influenced by the crystalline structure of $SnO_2$, having either cubic or tetragonal structure. The oxidation state study of elements revealed that the color of pigment is getting close to rYR with the increase of $Sn^{4+}$ ratio.

In this paper, the undoped and Co-doped $Zn_4SnSe_6$ single crystals grown by the chemical transporting reaction(CTR) method using iodine as a transporting agent are investigated. For the crystal growth, the temperature gradient of the CTR furnace was kept at $680^{\circ}C$ for the source zone and at $780^{\circ}C$ for the growth zone for 7days. It was found from the analysis of x-ray diffraction that the $Zn_4SnSe_6$ and $Zn_4SnSe_6Co^{2+}$ compounds have a monoclinic structure. The direct optical energy band gap of the $Zn_4SnSe_6$ and $Zn_4SnSe_6Co^{2+}$ single crystals at 300K were found to be 2.146eV and 2.042eV.
