유기발광소자는 빠른 응답속도, 고휘도 및 면발광의 장점을 가지고 있어서 차세대 디스플레이와 조명시장에서 주목을 받고 있다. 그 중 백색유기발광소자는 차세대 조명과 디스플레이의 백라이트로서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 다른 디스플레이에 비해서 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 백색유기발광소자의 경우 복잡한 구조에 의한 공정비용의 증가, 낮은 효율 및 색안정성과 같은 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 청색 인광 물질을 사용하여 고효율의 청색 유기발광소자를 제작하였으며, 졸-겔 방법으로 제작된 Mn 도핑된 $Zn_2SiO_4$ 녹색 무기물 형광체와 Mn 도핑된 $CaAl_{12}O_{19}$ 적색 무기물 형광체를 제작된 청색 유기발광소자에 도포하여 백색 발광소자를 제작하였다. Mn 도핑된 $Zn_2SiO_4$와 Mn 도핑된 $CaAl_{12}O_{19}$ 무기물 형광체층은 청색 유기발광소자에서 발생하는 빛을 흡수하여 적색과 녹색의 빛으로 변환하기 때문에 백색 구현에 필요한 청색, 녹색, 적색의 빛을 모두 얻을 수 있다. 녹색과 적색의 무기물 형광체의 두께와 결정크기에 따른 광학적 특성 변화를 조사하여 최적의 백색 발광소자를 제작하였다. 주사전자현미경을 통해 무기물 형광체의 결정크기를 조사하였으며, 전압-휘도 특성으로 광학적 특성을 조사한 결과 제작한 백색 발광소자의 색좌표가 순백색에 가까운 값을 나타내었다. 색변환층으로 사용한 무기물 형광체의 구조적 및 광학적 성질에 대한 결과를 바탕으로 백색 유기발광소자의 발광메커니즘을 설명하였다.

The transparent organic-inorganic hybrid films were prepared by the Sol-Gel process. PVP(polyvinylpyrrolidone) was used in organic component and TEOS(tetraethoxysilane) was used in inorganic component. HCI, $CH_{3}COOH$, and $NH_{4}OH$ were used as the Sol-Gel catalyst. The characteristics according to not only the variation of organic and inorganic contents but also the variation of catalyst species and contents were investigated. On the whole, the compatibility was remained between organic and inorganic components, and also as the TEOS contents were increased, mostly the transparency and the mechanical, thermal properties were improved. In addition, as content of catalysts was increased, the films showed characteristics that were closer to PVP than silica. Although the transparency of films was preserved in HCI and $CH_{3}COOH$, only the film containing more than 40wt% TEOS in $NH_{4}OH$ showed different phenomena.

ITO (Indium-tin oxide) thin films have been prepared by a sol-gel spinning coating method and fired and annealed in the temperature range of $450-600^{\circ}C$. The XRD patterns of the films indicated the main peak of (222) plane and showed higher crystallinity with increasing an annealing temperature. The surface of the ITO thin films were treated with 0.1 N HCl 20% solution at room temperature. The effects of surface treatment on electrical properties and surface morphologies of the ITO films were investigated with the results of sheet resistance and FE-SEM, AFM images. The samples, subsequently treated with acidic solution for 40 sec showed the sheet resistance of $0.982\;k{\Omega}/square$. The surface treatment using acidic solution diminished the RMS (root mean square) value and the residual carbon content of the ITO films. It seemed that the acid-cleaning of the ITO thin films lead to the decrease of surface roughness and sheet resistance.

We studied the effect of sol-gel processing and sintering temperature on the microwave properties of $MgCo_2(VO_4)_2$ system(MCV) which is applicable to LTCC(low-temperature cofired ceramics). The MCV was synthesized by sol-gel process using solution that contains precursor molecules for Mg, Co, and V. SEM analysis shows that the average particle size is ${\sim}1{\mu}m$ and size distribution is very uniform compared to the one prepared by conventional solid-state reaction process. Highly dense samples were obtained at the sintering temperature range of $750^{\circ}C{\sim}930^{\circ}C$. The maximum $Q{\times}f_0$ value of 55,700GHz, dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$) of 10.41 and temperature coefficient(${\tau}_f$) of $-85ppm/^{\circ}C$ was obtained at the sintering temperature of $930^{\circ}C$. The superior microwave properties of sol-gel processed MCV relative to conventional solid-state reaction processed one is remarkable especially at lower sintering temperatures such as $750^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$.

In the dye-sensitized solar cell, the semiconductor oxide plays an important role in the generation and transport of electrons, and thus extensive research on this has been continuously carried out. In this study, the characteristics of dye-sensitized solar cell are studied by fabricating semiconductor oxide doped with $V_2O_5$. The $TiO_2$ paste with $V_2O_5$ is prepared by the screen printing method of the sol - gel process and the surface and electrical properties are measured. The addition of $V_2O_5$ increased grain size and improved the open circuit voltage, short circuit current, charge factor and conversion efficiency of the dye sensitized solar cell.

Hexagonal $YMnO_3$ thin films were prepared from $Y(NO_3)_3{\cdot}5H_2O$ and $Mn(CH_3CO_2)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ as starting materials on the Si(100) substrates by the sol-gel method. The crystal structure and the electrical properties of the $YMnO_3$ thin films were investigated as a function of heat treatment temperature, the amount of water(Rw) of hydrolysis and the addition of catalysis. The crystallization of the $YMnO_3$ thin film began at 700${\circ}C$ and completed at 800${\circ}C$ for 1 h. The c-axis (0001) preferred orientation of hexagonal $YMnO_3$ was detected for the $YMnO_3$ thin films with Rw=6 and that was decreased for the $YMnO_3$ thin films with Rw=1 and Rw=12. The crystallinity and preferred orientation of the $YMnO_3$ thin films were depended on the addition of acid and/or alkali catalysis, which, in turn, the preferred orientation of c-axis was decreased and the orthorhombic phase of $YMnO_3$ was detected to the specimens with the addition of catalysis. The $YMnO_3$ thin film with Rw=6 showed good leakage current density of $1.2{\times}10-8 A/cm^2$ at the applied voltage of 0.2V and the leakage current density was not changed drastically with applied voltage.

In this study, the sensing membranes for detection of pH and dissolved oxygen(DO) were prepared by immobilizing 6-aminofluorescein or ruthenium complex onto the sol-gel matrixes of GPTMS, MTMS, and TEOS and then recoated with the mixture of hydrophobic sol-gel and graphite for light insulation. The pH and DO sensing membranes recoated with the light insulation layer showed a higher sensitivity than those without light insulation layer. The sensing membranes were immobilized on the wells of 24-well microplate and used to monitor the fluorescence intensity for pH and DO in E.coli JM109 and P.pastoris X-33 fermentation processes. The change of the fluorescence intensity in the DO sensing membrane agreed with the growth patterns of microorganisms, that the membranes are valuable to monitor the DO in fermentation processes. In the case of pH monitoring, the fluorescence intensity has showed good correlation to the off-line pH data, that the pH membranes are valuable to monitor pH values in fermentations.

Hybrid thin films composed of block copolymer(BCP) and $TiO_2$ with various morphologies on the nanoscale were fabricated using self-assembly of block copolymer combined with sol-gel process. The factors governing morphology changes considered in this study are block copolymer composition, selectivity of solvent and the inclusion of an additive. We also investigated the efficiency of photoluminescence for selected films with different morphologies. Micelle or nanowire structure can be derived from the self-assembly of poly (styrene-block-4-vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) depending on the relative selectivity of the solvent for the two blocks, and the titanium tetraisopropoxide ($Ti{OCH (CH_3)_2}_4$, TTIP) is coordinated with nitrogen in P4VP block. Addition of a third component 3-pentadecylphenol into the BCP/sol-gel mixture solution induces morphology change as a result of the change of relative volume fraction of the BCP. We confirmed that the efficiency of $TiO_2$ fluorescence changes for films depending on morphologies.

In the age of oil exhaustion, low cost, semi-transparent solar cell, the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) has attracted significant attention since 1991 of $Gr{\ddot{a}}tzel$ report. To enhance the light-harvest capability of the photoelectric electrode, and efficiency of photoelectric transformation of the DSC, scattering layer of various structure have been proposed to photoelectric electrode materials. The scattering center of scattering layer needs the large titanium dioxide nanoparticles of 250 - 300 nm in diameter. In this study, the large sized $TiO_2$ nanocyrstals of around 300 nm were synthesized using the modified sol-gel process. According to the analysis of XRD and TEM, the synthesized $TiO_2$ nanoparticles exhibit single crystals of anatase phase. The optical transmittance of the synthesized titanium dioxide film prepared by spin coating is around 50% at 550 nm. It is suitable for scattering layer as a scattering center, and expected to enhance the efficiency of photoelectric transformation of the DSC.

유기 발광 소자는 전색 디스플레이, 액정디스플레이의 백라이트유닛 및 조명으로의 사용가능성 때문에 많은 관심을 받아 왔고 지속적으로 발전하여 디스플레이 뿐 아니라 조명 시장에서 관심을 갖게 되었다. 그러나 유기 발광 소자의 효율은 무기 발광 소자의 효율보다 낮고 제작하는 데 고비용을 요하기 때문에 조명시장으로의 원활한 진입을 위해서는 지속적인 연구가 필요적이다. 발광층에 삼원색을 혼합하여 백색 유기 발광 소자를 제작하는 방법은 그 제조 공정이 복잡하고 공정 단가가 크게 상승할 우려가 있고 발광 물질의 수명을 동시에 고려해주어야 하는 문제점이 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 청색 유기 발광 소자를 제작하고 색변환층으로 적색 형광체를 사용하면 그 단순한 구조에 기인한 간단한 공정으로 인해 가격과 소자성능의 안정성을 가지는 장점을 가질 수 있다. 색변환층의 두께를 통해 유기 발광 소자의 발광 스펙트럼을 아주 용이하게 조절할 수 있어 높은 연색지수를 갖는 백색 발광 유기 소자의 제작이 가능하여 조명으로의 적용 가능성이 아주 크다. 이를 바탕으로 높은 휘도를 갖는 청색 유기 발광 소자의 유리 기판 반대편에 적색 형광체층을 두께별로 도포하여 백색 유기 발광 소자를 제작하였다. 색변환층으로 사용될 적색 형광체는 $CaAl_{12}O_{19}:Mn^{4+}$ 화합물로써 졸-겔 방법을 사용하여 제작하였다. 제작한 $CaAl_{12}O_{19}:Mn^{4+}$ 화합물에 대한 X 선 회절 패턴은 형성된 형광체의 구조임을 알 수 있었다. 각기 다른 형광체의 도포 조건에 따른 구조적 성질과 색변환 효율의 변화를 알아보기 위해 주사전자 현미경 측정으로 확인하였다. 제작된 적색 형광체와 청색 유기 발광 소자는 광루미네센스 스펙트럼과 전계 발광루미네센스 스펙트럼 결과를 사용하여 발광 메커니즘을 분석하였다.
