  • Morphology and infrared absorbing characteristics of Pt-black prepared by electroplating have been investigated with XRD, SEM, and IR spectrophotometer. The Pt later was coated on Au-coated alumina/glass substrates for 1-5 min at pH 1.0-1.5, where a solution of platinum chloride and lead acetate was used as the electrolyte. At the electrical current density of 20-50 mA/㎠, the Pt-black showed a dendritic growth which was characterized by a "tree" shape. Absorptivity of above 90% at IR radiation of 10 m was observed for the Pt absorbing layer with an area density of ≥1.3mg/㎠.

  • Ultraviolet rays, which have wavelengths smaller than 400 nm, are very harmful to the eyes. Recently, high-energy visible light was also revealed to be harmful to retinal cells. Therefore, polymer eyeglass lenses that can block UV and high-energy visible light are needed for eye health. In this study, high-refractive-index polymer eyeglass lens, n=1.67, were manufactured using the injection-mold method with the m-xylene diisocyanate monomer, 2,3-bis((2-mercaptoethyl)thio)-1-propanethiol monomer, benzotriazole UV absorber, release of alkyl phosphoric ester, dye mixture of CI solvent violet 13, and catalyst of dibutyltin dichloride mixture. A multi-layer anti-reflection coating was applied to manufactured polymer eyeglass lenses for both sides using an E-beam evaporation system. The optical properties of the manufactured lenses with the UV and high-energy visible light-blocking function were analyzed by UV-visible spectrophotometry. As a result, the polymer eyeglass lens with a UV absorber of 0.5 wt. % blocked 99% of UV and high-energy visible light shorter than 411 nm. The average transmittance of the polymer eyeglass lens with a UV absorber of 0.5wt.% was 97.9% in the range of 460 ~ 660 nm for photopic eye sensitivity higher than 10%. Therefore, clear image acquisition in photopic vision is possible.

  • $CuInS_2$ thin films were synthesized by sulfurization of Cu/In Stacked elemental layer deposited onto glass Substrates by vacuum furnace annealing at temperature 200[$^{\circ}C$]. And structural and electrical properties were measured in order to certify optimum conditions for growth of the ternary compound semiconductor $CuInS_2$ thin films with non-stoichiometry composition. $CuInS_2$ thin film was well made at the heat treatment 200[$^{\circ}C$] of SLG/Cu/In/S stacked elemental layer which was prepared by thermal evaporator, and chemical composition of the thin film was analyzed nearly as the proportion of 1 : 1 : 2. Physical properties of the thin film were investigated at various fabrication conditions substrate temperature, annealing and temperature, annealing time by XRD, FE-SEM and hall measurement system. At the same time, carrier concentration, hall mobility and resistivity of the thin films was $9.10568{\times}10^{17}$ [$cm^{-3}$], 312.502 [$cm^2/V{\cdot}s$] and $2.36{\times}10^{-2}$ [${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$], respectively.

  • Numerous of researches are being conducted to improve the efficiency of $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ (CZTSe)-based photovoltaic devices, which is one of the most promising candidates for low cost and environment-friendly solar cells. In this work, we concentrate on the back contact of the devices. A proper thickness of $MoSe_2$ in back contact structure is believed to enhance adhesion and ohmic contact between Mo back contact and absorber layer. Nevertheless, too thick $MoSe_2$ layers that are grown during high-temperature selenization process can impede the current collection, thus resulting in low cell performance. By applying molybdenum nitride as a barrier in back contact structure, we were able to control the thickness of $MoSe_2$ layer, which resulted in lower series resistance and higher fill factor of CZTSe devices. The phase transformation of Mo-N binary system was systematically studied by changing $N_2$ concentration during the sputtering process. With a proper phase of Mo-N fabricated by using an adequate partial pressure of $N_2$, the efficiency of CZTSe solar cells as high as 8.31% was achieved while the average efficiency was improved by about 2% with respect to that of the referent cells where no barrier layer was employed.

  • The absorbing structure composed of multi-layered fiber reinforced composite materials was designed and microwave absorbing properties are investigated. On the basis of transmission line theory, the theoretical equations to predict the reflection loss and the appropriate composite material for each functional layer are suggested. The most significant result of this study is the successful design and fabrication of triple-layered composite laminates which has the superior microwave absorbing porperties (more than 10 dB in 4∼12 GHz range), without using the ferrite filler in the impedance transforming layer. In the two-layered composite laminate (absorber/substrate), however, the use of ferrite filler (about 40 wt %) in the absorbing layer is necessary to obtain the certain level of microwave absorbance. By combining the glass-fiber composite with ferrite filler and carbon-fiber composite substrate, the microwave absorbing properties more than 10 dB in 4∼12 GHz frequencies than be obtained.

  • In this study, the composites containing carbon black (CB) or carbon fibers were prepared, and the microwave absorbing properties and the absorption mechanism of them were investigated and discussed in the frequency range of 2-18 GHz, respectively. The optimum mass fraction of CB has been found as 6%, and the carbon fibers were discovered to absorb radar wave either under parallel or vertical polarization, the suitable gap distance between each bundle of which was 5 mm. According to the results of the single constitute absorber samples, the structured composites with the two kinds of absorbers combination were fabricated and studied at 2-18 GHz. The top layer absorbers affect the absorption performance a lot; the maximum reflection loss of composites with CB as top layer absorbers was -31.8 dB with the frequency range of 2.4 GHz below -10 dB, and the other type with CFs as the top layer absorbers obtained the reflection loss peak value of -31.4 dB with 2 GHz below-10 dB.

  • 유리기판위에 큰 결정입자를 갖는 실리콘 (폴리 실리콘) 박막을 제조하는 것은 가격저가화 및 대면적화 측면 같은 산업화의 높은 잠재성을 가지고 있기 때문에 그동안 많은 관심을 가지고 연구되어 오고 있다. 다양한 방법을 이용하여 다결정 실리콘 박막을 만들기 위해 노력해 오고 있으며, 태양전지에 응용하기 위하여 연속적이면서 10um이상의 큰 입자를 갖는 다결정 실리콘 씨앗층이 필요하며, 고속증착을 위해서는 (100)의 결정성장방향 등 다양한 조건이 제시될 수 있다. 다결정 실리콘 흡수층의 품질은 고품질의 다결정 실리콘 씨앗층에서 얻어질 수 있다. 이러한 다결정 실리콘의 에피막 성장을 위해서는 유리기판의 연화점이 저압 화학기상증착법 및 아크 플라즈마 등과 같은 고온기반의 공정 적용의 어려움이 있기 때문에 제약 사항으로 항상 문제가 제기되고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 볼때 유리기판위에 에피막을 성장시키는 방법으로 많지 않은 방법들이 사용될 수 있는데 전자 공명 화학기상증착법(ECR-CVD), 이온빔 증착법(IBAD), 레이저 결정화법(LC) 및 펄스 자석 스퍼터링법 등이 에피 실리콘 성장을 위해 제안되는 대표적인 방법으로 볼 수 있다. 이중에서 효율적인 관점에서 볼때 IBAD는 산업화측면에서 좀더 많은 이점을 가지고 있으나, 박막을 형성하는 과정에서 큰 에너지 및 이온크기의 빔 사이즈 등으로 인한 표면으로의 damages가 일어날 수 있어 쉽지 않는 방법이 될 수 있다. 여기에서는 이러한 damage를 획기적으로 줄이면서 저온에서 결정화 시킬 수 있는 cold annealing법을 소개하고자 한다. 이온빔에 비해서 전자빔의 에너지와 크기는 그리드 형태의 렌즈를 통해 전체면적에 조사하는 것을 쉽게 제어할 수 있으며 이러한 전자빔의 생성은 금속 필라멘트의 열전자가 아닌 Ar플라즈마에서 전자의 분리를 통해 발생된다. 유리기판위에 흡수층 제조연구를 위해 DC 및 RF 스퍼터링법을 이용한 비정질실리콘의 박막에 대하여 두께별에 따른 밴드갭, 캐리어농도 등의 변화에 대하여 조사한다. 최적의 조건에서 비정질 실리콘을 2um이하로 증착을 한 후, 전자빔 조사를 위해 1.4~3.2keV의 다양한 에너지세기 및 조사시간을 변수로 하여 실험진행을 한 후 단면의 이미지 및 결정화 정도에 대한 관찰을 위해 SEM과 TEM을 이용하고, 라만, XRD를 이용하여 결정화 정도를 조사한다. 또한 Hall효과 측정시스템을 이용하여 캐리어농도, 이동도 등을 각 변수별로 전기적 특성변화에 대하여 분석한다. 또한, 태양전지용 흡수층으로 응용을 위하여 dark전도도 및 photo전도도를 측정하여 광감도에 대한 결과가 포함된다.

  • Au-black for the application of the long wavelength infrared absorber has been prepared by evaporating Au under nitrogen gas-filled low vacuum condition. Characteristics of the deposited Au-black were carefully investigated through structural analysis, infrared absorbance measurement, and patterning of the layer, all of which are dependent on the deposition condition. High density of micro-cavity that trapped infrared were obtained, and infrared absorbance in the wavelength range from 3 $\mu\textrm{g}$ to 14 $\mu\textrm{g}$ was found to be about 90% when the Au-black layer was produced under the deposition condition of mass Per area of about 600 $\mu\textrm{g}$/cm$^{2}$ and chamber pressure of above 1 Torr. Photoresist lift-off process could be performed to pattern the Au-black, of which mass per area was below 900 $\mu\textrm{g}$/cm/ sup 2/. In view of absorbance, heat capacity, and pattern formation, the deposition condition of chamber pressure of about 1 Tow and mass per area of about 600$\mu\textrm{g}$/cm$^{2}$ was most adequate for preparing the Au-black as an infrared absorber.

  • The present investigation provides an electromagnetic radiation absorptive composition which comprises silver-coated ferrite microspheres dispersed in silicon rubber matrix for the aim of thin microwave absorber in GHz frequencies. Ni-Zn ferrite spheres with $50{\mu}m$ size in average were prepared by spray-drying and sintering at $1130^{\circ}C$. Conductive silver layer was plated on ferrite spheres by electroless plating. Conductive Ni-Zn ferrite sphere with uniform silver layer were obtained in the concentration of 10 g/L $AgNO_3$ per 20 g ferrite spheres. For this powder, electrical resistance is reduced as low as $10^{-2}\~10^{-3}\;\Omega$. The most sensitive material parameters with silver plating is real and imaginary parts of complex permittivity. The conductive Ni-Zn ferrite spheres have large values of dielectric constant. Due to this high dielectric constant of microspheres, matching thickness is reduced to as low as 2 mm at the frequency of 7 GHz, which is much thinner than conventional ferrite absorbers.
