  • 최근 단파장 광전 소자와 고출력 고주파 전자 소자에 대한 수요 때문에 넓은 밴드갭 에너지를 갖는 반도체에 관심이 많다. 이중에서, ZnO는 우수한 화학 및 역학적 안정성, 수소 플라즈마 내구성과 저가 제조의 장점 때문에 광전자 소자 개발 분야에 적합한 산화물 투명 전극으로 관심을 끌고 있다. 불순물이 도핑되지 않은 ZnO는 본질적으로 산소 빈자리 (vacancy)와 아연 격자틈새 (interstitial)와 같은 자체의 결함으로 말미암아 n형의 극성을 갖기 때문에, 반도체 소자로 응용하기 위해서는 도핑 운반자의 농도와 전도성을 제어하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 박막 제조시 제어성, 안정성과 용이하게 성장이 가능한 졸겔 (sol-gel) 방법을 사용하여 사파이어와 석영 기판 위에 Cu가 도핑된 ZnO 박막을 성장시켰으며, 그것의 구조, 표면 형상, 평균 투과율, 광학 밴드갭 에너지를 계산하였다. 특히, Cu의 몰 비를 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1 mol로 변화시키면서 ZnO:Cu 박막을 성장시켰다. ZnO:Cu 졸은 zinc acetate dihydrate, 2-methoxyethanol (용매), momoethanolamine (MEA, 안정제)을 사용하여 제조하였다. 상온에서 2-methoxyethanol과 MEA가 혼합된 용액에 zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn)을 용해시켰다. 이때 MEA와 Zn의 몰 비는 1로 유지하였다. 이 용액을 $60^{\circ}C$ 가열판 (hot plate)에서 24 h 동안 자석으로 휘젓으며 혼합하여 맑고 균일한 용액을 얻었다. 이 용액을 3000 rpm 속도로 회전하는 스핀 코터기의 상부에 장착된 사파이어와 석영 기판 위에 주사기 (syringe)를 사용하여 한 방울 떨어뜨려 30 s 동안 스핀한 다음에, 용매를 증발시키고 유기물 찌꺼기를 제거하기 위하여 $300^{\circ}C$에서 10분 동안 건조시킨다. 기판 위에 코팅하는 작업에서 부터 건조 작업까지를 10회 반복한 다음에, 1 h 동안 전기로에 장입하여 석영 기판 위에 증착된 시료는 $550^{\circ}C$에서, 사파이어 기판은 $700^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 수행하였다. Cu의 몰 비 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 1로 성장된 ZnO:Cu 박막에 대한 x선 회절 분석의 결과에 의하면, 모든 ZnO:Cu 박막의 경우에 관측된 34.3o의 피크는 ZnO (002) 면에서 발생된 회절 패턴을 나타낸다. 이것은 JCPDS #80-0075에 제시된 회절상과 일치하였으며, ZnO:Cu 박막이 기판에 수직인 c-축을 따라 우선 배향됨을 나타낸다. 사파이어 기판 위에 증착된 박막의 경우에, Cu의 몰 비가 점점 증가함에 따라(002)면 회절 피크의 세기는 전반적으로 증가하여 0.07 mol에서 최대를 나타내었으나, 석영 기판 위에 증착된 박막의 경우에는 0.05 mol에서 최대를 보였다. 외선-가시광 분광계를 사용하여 서로 다른 Cu의 몰 비로 성장된 ZnO:Cu 박막에서 광학 흡수율 (absorbance) 스펙트럼을 측정하였으며, 이 데이터를 사용하여 평균 투과율을 계산한 결과, 투과율은 Cu의 몰 비에 따라 현저한 차이를 나타내었다. Cu의 몰 비가 0.07 mol일 때 평균 투과율은 80%로 가장 높았으며, 0.03 mol에서는 30%로 최소이었다. 광학밴드갭 에너지는 Tauc 모델을 사용하여 계산하였고, 결정 입자의 형상과 크기와의 상관 관계를 조사하였다.

  • 현재 국내의 상용화된 디지털 방식 X-선 영상장치에서 간접변환방식은 대부분 CsI를 사용하고 있으며, X-선 흡수에 의해 전기적 신호를 발생시키는 직접변환방식은 Amorphous Selenium(a-Se)을 사용한다. a-Se은 진공 중에 녹는점이 낮아 증착시 substrate의 온도에 따라 민감한 변화를 보인다. 본 연구에서는 간접변환방식에 비해 높은 영상의 질을 획득할 수 있는 직접변환방식의 a-Se기반 X-선 검출기 제작 시 substrate에 인가된 온도에 따른 특성을 연구하여 최적화 된 substrate의 온도를 알고자 한다. 본 실험에서는 glass에 투명한 전극물질인 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)가 electrode로 형성된 substrate를 사용하였으며 그 상단에 a-Se을 Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)방식을 거쳐 X-선 검출기 샘플을 제작하였다. PVD 공정 시 네 개의 보트에 a-Se 시료를 각각 100g씩 총 400g을 넣고, $5{\times}10-5Torr$까지 진공도를 낮추었다. 보트의 온도는 $270^{\circ}C$에서 40분 $290^{\circ}C$에서 90분으로 온도를 인가하여 a-Se을 기화시켜 증착하였다. 증착 시 substrate 온도를 각각 $20^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$ 네 종류로 나누어 실험을 진행하였다. 끝으로 증착된 a-Se 상단에 Au를 PVD방식으로 electrode를 형성시켜 a-Se기반의 X-선 검출기 샘플 제작을 완료하였다. 제작된 a-Se기반의 X-선 검출기 샘플의 두께는 80에서 $85{\mu}m$로 온도에 따른 차이가 없었다. 이후에 전기적 특성을 평가하기위해 electrometer와 oscilloscope를 이용하여 Dark current와 Sensitivity를 측정하여 Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR)로 도출하였으며 Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) 표면 uniformity를 관찰하였다. 또한 제작된 a-Se기반 X-선 검출기 샘플의 hole collection 성능을 확인하고자 mobility를 측정하였다. 측정결과 a-Se의 work function을 고려한 $10V/{\mu}m$기준에서 70kV, 100mA, 0.03sec의 조건의 X-선을 조사 하였을 때 Sensitivity는 세 종류의 검출기 샘플이 15nC/mR-cm2에서 18nC/mR-cm2으로 비슷한 양상을 나타내었지만, substrate온도가 $70^{\circ}C$때의 샘플은 10nC/mR-cm2이하로 저감됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 substrate온도 $60^{\circ}C$에서 제작된 검출기 샘플의 전기적 특성이 SNR로 환산 시, 15.812로 가장 우수한 전기적 특성을 나타내어 최적화 된 온도임을 알 수 있었다. SEM촬영 시 온도상승에 따라 표면 uniformity가 우수하였으며, Mobility lifetime에서는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 제작된 검출기 샘플이 deep trap 수치가 높아 hole이 $0.04584cm2/V{\cdot}sec$$0.00174cm2/V{\cdot}sec$의 electron보다 26.34배가량 빠른 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 a-Se증착 시, substrate에 인가된 온도는 균일한 박막의 형성 및 표면구조에 영향을 미치며 온도가 증가할수록 안정적인 전기적 특성을 나타내지만 $70^{\circ}C$이상일 시, a-Se층의 결정화가 생겨 deep trap을 발생시켜 전기적 특성이 저하됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 증착 시의 substrate의 온도 최적화는 a-Se기반 X-선 검출기의 안전성 및 성능향상을 위해 불가피한 요소가 된다고 사료된다.

  • Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are the state-of-the-art technology among electrochemical energy storage and conversion cells, and are still considered the most attractive class of battery in the future due to their high specific energy density, high efficiency, and long cycle life. Rapid development of power-hungry commercial electronics and large-scale energy storage applications (e.g. off-peak electrical energy storage), however, requires novel anode materials that have higher energy densities to replace conventional graphite electrodes. Germanium (Ge) and silicon (Si) are thought to be ideal prospect candidates for next generation LIB anodes due to their extremely high theoretical energy capacities. For instance, Ge offers relatively lower volume change during cycling, better Li insertion/extraction kinetics, and higher electronic conductivity than Si. In this focused review, we briefly describe the basic concepts of LIBs and then look at the characteristics of ideal anode materials that can provide greatly improved electrochemical performance, including high capacity, better cycling behavior, and rate capability. We then discuss how, in the future, Ge anode materials (Ge and Ge oxides, Ge-carbon composites, and other Ge-based composites) could increase the capacity of today's Li batteries. In recent years, considerable efforts have been made to fulfill the requirements of excellent anode materials, especially using these materials at the nanoscale. This article shall serve as a handy reference, as well as starting point, for future research related to high capacity LIB anodes, especially based on semiconductor Ge and Si.

  • Frequency dependency or electrical property stabilization during vulcanization of modified NR/IR composite materials was studied using in-situ electrical property measuring technique. Volume resistivity(p) before and after vulcanization reaction of the sample was measured as the function or frequency in the range or 1Hz to 10kHz at reaction temperatures of 130, 140, 150, and $160^{\circ}C$, respectively. A double stabilization mode of frequency dependency was observed, in which a slow stabilization process of p to a value of ca. $1.0{\times}10^7\;{\Omega}-cm$ occurred after a drastic initial decrease from ca. $9.0{\times}10^7\;{\Omega}-cm$. In addition, notable temperature dependencies of p values were also observed before and after vulcanization reaction, that is, p values at 130 and $140^{\circ}C$ after vulcanization were observed as about 1/3 of those values before vulcanization. All the observed facts were considered as the results from the interaction between the electrode and the bulk sample materials, i.e., electronic charge-discharge, and from the structure change of samples including CB rearrangement by the vulcanization.

  • As the demand for high-capacity batteries increases, there has been growing researches on the lithium metal anode with a capacity (3,860 mAh/g) of higher than that of conventional one and a low electrochemical potential (-3.040 V). In this study, using the anatase phased TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis, a PVdF-HFP/TiO2 organic/inorganic composite material was designed and used as an interfacial protective layer for a Li metal anode. As-formed organic/inorganic-lithium composite thin film was confirmed through the crystalline structure and morphological analyses. In addition, the electrochemical test (cycle stability and voltage profile) confirmed that the protective layer of PVdF-HFP/TiO2 composite (10 wt% TiO2 and 1.1 ㎛ film thickness) contributed to the enhanced electrochemical performance of the lithium metal anode (Colombic efficiency retention: 90% for 77 cycles). Based on comparative test with the untreated lithium electrode, it was confirmed that our protective layer plays an important role to stabilize/improve the EC performance of the lithium metal negative electrode.

  • Recently, all-solid-state batteries have attracted much attention to improve safety of rechargeable lithium batteries, but the solid-state batteries of conductive ceramics or solid polymer electrolytes show poor electrochemical properties because of several problems such as high interfacial resistance and undesired reactions. To solve the problems of the reported all-solid-state batteries, a hybrid solid electrolyte is suggested, in this study, NASICON-type nanoparticle Li1.5Al0.5Ti1.5P3O12 (LATP) conductive ceramic, PVdF-HFP, and a carbonate-based liquid electrolyte were composited to prepare a quasi-solid electrolyte. The hybrid solid electrolyte has a high voltage stability of 5.6 V and shows an suppress effect of lithium dendrite growth in the stripping-plating test. The LiNi0.83Co0.11Mn0.06O2 (NCM811)-based battery with the hybrid solid electrolyte exhibits a high discharge capacity of 241.5 mAh/g at a high charge-cut-off voltage of 4.8V and stable electrochemical reaction. The NCM811-based battery also shows 139.4 mAh/g discharge capacity without short circuit or explosion at 90℃. Therefore, the LATP-based hybrid solid electrolyte can be an effective solution to improve the safety and electrochemical properties of rechargeable lithium batteries.

  • Recently, the importance of electronic packaging technology has been attracting attention, and heterogeneous integration technology in which chips are stacked out-of-plane direction is being applied to the electronic packaging field. The 2.5D integration circuit is a technology for stacking chips using an interposer including TSV, and is widely used already. Therefore, it is necessary to make the interposer mechanically reliable in the packaging process that undergoes various thermal processes and mechanical loadings. Considering the structural characteristics of the interposer on which several thin films are deposited, thermal stress due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of materials can have a great effect on reliability. In this study, the mechanical reliability of the metal pad for wire bonding on the silicon interposer against thermal stress was evaluated. After heating the interposer to the solder reflow temperature, the delamination of the metal pad that occurred during cooling was observed and the mechanism was investigated. In addition, it was confirmed that the high cooling rate and the defect caused by handling promote delamination of the metal pads.

  • High-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) has been studied as an alternative to low-temperature PEMFC due to its fast activation of electrodes and high resistance to electrode poisoning by carbon monoxide. It is highly required to develop stable PEMs operating at high temperatures even doped by ion-conducting materials for the development of high-performance and durable HT-PEMFC systems. A number of studies have been conducted to develop polybenzimidazole (PBI)-based PEMs for applications in HT-PEMFC due to their high interaction with doped ion-conducting materials and outstanding thermomechanical stability under high-temperature operation. This review focused on the development of PBI-based PEMs showing high performance and durability. Firstly, the characteristic behavior of PBI-based PEMs doped with various ion-conducting materials including phosphoric acid was systematically investigated. And then, a comparison of the physicochemical properties of the PEMs according to the different membrane manufacturing processes was conducted. Secondly, the incorporation of porous polytetrafluoroethylene substrate and/or inorganic composites to PBI matrix to improve the membrane performances was studied. Finally, the construction of cross-linked structures into PBI-based PEM systems by polymer blending method was introduced to improve the PEM properties.

  • Wastewater purification is one of the most important techniques for controlling environmental pollution and fulfilling the demand for freshwater supply. Various technologies, such as different types of distillations and reverse osmosis processes, need higher energy input. Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an alternative method in which power consumption is deficient and works on the supercapacitor principle. Research is going on to improve the electrode materials to improve the efficiency of the process. A reverse electrodialysis (RED) is the most commonly used desalination technology and osmotic power generator. Among many studies conducted to enhance the efficiency of RED, MXene, as an ion exchange membrane (IEM) and 2D nanofluidic channels in IEM, is rising as a promising way to improve the physical and electrochemical properties of RED. It is used alone and other polymeric materials are mixed with MXene to enhance the performance of the membrane further. The maximum desalination performances of MXene with preconditioning, Ti3C2Tx, Nafion, and hetero-structures were respectively measured, proving the potential of MXene for a promising material in the desalination industry. In terms of osmotic power generating via RED, adopting MXene as asymmetric nanofluidic ion channels in IEM significantly improved the maximum osmotic output power density, most of them surpassing the commercialization benchmark, 5 Wm-2. By connecting the number of unit cells, the output voltage reaches the point where it can directly power the electronic devices without any intermediate aid. The studies around MXene have significantly increased in recent years, yet there is more to be revealed about the application of MXene in the membrane and osmotic power-generating industry. This review discusses the electrodialysis process based on MXene composite membrane.

  • Ga2O3 thin films were deposited on Ti substrates using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at temperatures ranging from 350 to 500℃. Lower deposition temperatures were chosen to minimize thermal deformation of the Ti substrate and its impact on the Ga2O3 film. Film surfaces tended to become rough at temperatures below 500℃ due to three-dimensional growth, but the film formed at 500℃ had the most uniform surface. All deposited films were amorphous in structure. Vertical Schottky diodes were fabricated and I-V and C-V measurements were performed. I-V measurements showed higher operating voltages compared to a typical SBD for films grown at different temperatures. The sample grown at 500℃, which had the most uniform surface, exhibited the lowest operating voltage. Higher growth temperatures resulted in higher capacitance values according to C-V measurements.
