  • We have investigated the effect of ambient gases on the structural, electrical, and optical characteristics of IZO thin films intended for use as anode contacts in the organic light emitting diodes (OLED) devices. These IZO thin films were deposited on the PES film by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering under different ambient gases (Ar, Ar + O2, and Ar + H2) at room temperature. In order to investigate the influences of the ambient gases, the flow rate of oxygen and hydrogen in argon has been changed from 0.1 sccm to 0.5 sccm, respectively. All the IZO thin film has an (222) preferential orientation regardless of ambient gases. The electrical resistivity of the IZO film increased with increasing O2 flow rate, whereas the electrical resistivity decreased sharply under an Ar + H2 atmosphere and was nearly similar regardless of the H2 flow rate. The change of electrical resistivity with changes in the ambient gas composition was mainly interpreted in terms of the charge carrier concentration rather than the charge carrier mobility. All the films showed the average transmittance over 85% in the visible range. The OLED device was fabricated with different IZO substrates made with the configuration of IZO/α-NPD/DPVB/Alq3/LiF/Al in order to elucidate the performance of the IZO substrate. The current density and the luminance of OLED devices with IZO thin films deposited in 0.5 sccm H2 ambient gas are the highest amongst all other films.

  • 질소, 아르곤, 이산화탄소와 같은 불활성가스 및 이들의 혼합물을 소화약제로 하여 n-Heptane을 연료로한 cup-burner test 장치에서 불꽃소화농도와 연소시 배가스의 조성을 측정하였다. 이성분 불활성가스계 혼합소화약제의 소화농도는 혼합물의 구성비를 이용한 모델에 의해 잘 예측됨을 알 수 있었다. 불활성 가스계 혼합 소화약제에 의한 소화작용에 있어서 혼합가스의 평균비중이 클수록 소화 성능이 우수하였다. 또한 밀폐된 공간의 구조가 소화에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였다. 연소시 배가스 중 이산화탄소 조성은 사용하는 소화약제의 양이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 일산화질소 발생은 소화약제의 질소 함량과는 상관이 없으며 공기유량을 크게 하여 불꽃을 크게 했을 때 검출되었다.

  • The purpose of this paper is to describe an application of plasma polymerized thin film as an electron beam resist. Plasma polymerized thin film was prepared using an interelectrode capacitively coupled gas-flow-type reactor, and chosen methylmethacrylate(MMA)and methylmethacrylate-tetrameth-yltin(MMA-TMT) as a monomer. This thin films were also delineated by the electron-beam apparatus with an acceleration voltage of 30kV and an expose dose ranging from 20 to 900$\mu$C/cmS02T. The delineated pattern in the resist was developed with the same reactor which is used for polymerization using an argon as etching gas. The growth rate and etching rate of the thin film is increased with increasing of discharge power. Thin films by plasma polymerization show polymerization rate of 30~45($\pm$3) A/min, and etching rate of 440($\pm$30) A/min during Ar plasma etching at discharge power of 100W. In apparently lower than that of conventional PMMA, but the plasma-etching rate of PP(MMA-TMT) was higher than that of PPMMA.

  • In this study, we have investigated the structural and electrical characteristics of IZO thin films deposited under hydrogen atmosphere on flexible substrate for the OLED (organic light emitting diodes) devices. For this purpose, PES was used for flexible substrate and IZO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering under hydrogen ambient gases (Ar, $Ar+H^2$) at room temperature. In order to investigate the influences of the hydrogen, the flow rate of hydrogen in argon mixing gas has been changed from 0.1sccm to 0.5sccm. All the samples show amorphous structure regardless of flow rate. The electrical resistivity of IZO films increased with increasing flow rate of $H^2$ under $Ar+H^2$. All the films showed the average transmittance over 85% in the visible range. The OLED device was fabricated with different IZO electrodes made by configuration of IZO/$\acute{a}$-NPD/DPVB/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al to elucidate the performance of IZO substrate. OLED devices with the amorphous-IZO (a-IZO) anode film show good current density-voltage-luminance characteristics. This suggests that flat surface roughness and low electrical resistivity of a-IZO anode film lead to more efficient anode material in OLED devices.

  • Fine lithographic technology in a submicron design regime is necessary for the fabrication of VLSI circuits. In such lithography, fine pattern delineation is performed by electron beam, ion beam and X-ray lithography instead of photolithography. Therefore, the new resist materials and development method have been required. So, we are investigating another positive E-beam resists which have high sensitivity and dry etching resistance, Plasma co-polymerized resist was prepared using an interelectrode gas-flow-type reacter. Methymethacrylate, tetramethyltin and styrene were chosen as the monomer to be used. The delineated pattern in the resist was developed with gas-flow-type reactor using an argon and 02 as etching gas. We studied about the effects of discharge power and mixing rate of the co-polymerized thin :film. The molecular structure of thin film was investigated by ESCA and IR, and then was discussed in relation to its quality as a resist.

  • Amorphous silicon films were deposited on glass, [100] single crystal silicon wafer with thermally grown silicon dioxide, and [100] silicon wafer substrates by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition(with argon diluted silane source gas). Growth rate, UV optical band edge, and the hydrogen quantity in the amorphous silicon films have been investigated as a function of the preparation conditions by measuring film thickness, UV-absorbency, and FT-IR transmittance. The growth rate of the ${\alpha}$-Si:H films increases with increasing substrate temperture, flow rate and R.F. power density. The UV optical band edge shifts to blue with the increases in the deposition pressure. Increasing substrate temperature shifts the UV optical band edge of the films to red. Hydrogen quantity in the ${\alpha}$-Si:H films increases with an increases in the R.F. powr and decreases with an increase in the substrate temperature.

  • Plasma polymerized thin films was prepared using an interelectrod inductively coupled gas-flow-type reactor. Styrene was chosen as the monomer to be used. This thin films were also delineated by the electron-beam apparatus with an acceleration voltage 30kV, and the pattern in the resist was developed with RIE 80 with argon gas mixture ratio, pressure and RF power. The molecular structure of thin films was investigated by GPC and FT-IR and then was discussed in relation to its quality as a resist. In the case of plasma polymerization, thickness of resist could be controlled by discharge duration and power. Also etch rate is increased as to growing pressure with RIE 80.

  • Decomposition of non-biodegradable contaminants such as phenol contained in water was investigated using a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor in the aqueous solutions with continuous oxygen bubbling. Effects of various parameters on the removal of phenol in aqueous solution with high-voltage streamer discharge plasma are studied. In order to choose plasma gas, gas of three types (argon, air, oxygen) were investigated. After the selection of gas, effects of 1st voltage (80 ~ 220 V), oxygen flow rate (2 ~ 7 L/min), pH (3 ~ 11), and initial phenol concentration (12.5 ~ 100.0 mg/L) on phenol degradation and change of $UV_{254}$ absorbance were investigated. Absorbance of $UV_{254}$ can be used as an indirect indicator of phenol degradation and the generation and disappearance of the non-biodegradable organic compounds. Removal of phenol and COD were found to follow pseudo first-order kinetics. The removal rate constants for phenol and COD of phenol were $5.204{\times}10^{-1}min^{-1}$ and $3.26{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$, respectively.

  • Zinc oxide based thin films have been extensively studied in recent several years because they have very interesting properties and zinc oxide is non-poisonous, abundant and cheap material. ZnO films are employed in different applications like transparent conductive layers in solar cells, protective coatings and so on. Wide industrial application of the ZnO films requires of development of cheap, effective and scalable technology. Typically used technologies don't completely satisfy the industrial requirements. In the present work, we studied effect of the deposition parameters on the structure and properties of ZnO films deposited by DC arc plasmatron. The varied parameters were gas flow rates, precursor composition, substrate temperature and post-deposition annealing temperature. Vapor of Zinc acetylacetone was used as source materials, oxygen was used as working gas and argon was used as the cathode protective gas and a transport gas for the vapor. The plasmatron power was varied in the range of 700-1500 watts. Flow rate of the gases and substrate temperature rate were varied in the wide range to optimize the properties of the deposited coatings. After deposition films were annealed in the hydrogen atmosphere in the wide range of temperatures. Structure of coatings was investigated using XRD and SEM. Chemical composition was analyzed using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Sheet conductivity was measured by 4-point probe method. Optical properties of the transparent ZnO-based coatings were studied by the spectroscopy. It was shown that deposition by a DC Arc plasmatron can be used for low-cost production of zinc oxide films with good optical and electrical properties. Increasing of the oxygen content in the gas mixture during deposition allow to obtain high-resistive protective and insulation coatings with high adhesion to the metallic surface.

Vapor of Zinc acetylacetone was used as source materials, oxygen was used as working gas and argon was used as the cathode protective gas and a transport gas for the vapor. The plasmatron power was varied in the range of 700-1,500 watts. Flow rate of the gases and substrate temperature rate were varied in the wide range to optimize the properties of the deposited coatings. After deposition films were annealed in the hydrogen atmosphere in the wide range of temperatures. Structure of coatings was investigated using XRD and SEM. Chemical composition was analyzed using x-ray photo-electron spectroscopy. Sheet conductivity was measured by 4-point probe method. Optical properties of the transparent ZnO-based coatings were studied by the spectroscopy. It was shown that deposition by a DC Arc plasmatron can be used for low-cost production of zinc oxide films with good optical and electrical properties. Sheet resistance of 4 Ohms cm was achieved after the deposition and 30 min annealing in the hydrogen at $350^{\circ}C$. Elevation of the substrate temperature during the deposition process up to $350^{\circ}C$ leads to decreasing of the film's resistance due to rearrangement of the crystalline structure.
