Metallic nanostructures have great potential for bio-chemical sensor applications due to the excitation of localized surface plasmon and its sensitive response to environmental change. Unlike the commonly explored absorption-based sensing, the optical scattering provides single particle detection scheme. For the localized surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, the metallic nanostructures with controlled shape and size have been usually fabricated on adhesion-layer pre-coated transparent glass substrates. In this study, we calculated the optical scattering properties of plasmonic Au nanodisc using a discrete dipole approximation method and analyzed the effect of adhesion layer on them. Our result also indicates that there is a trade-off between the surface plasmon damping and the capability of supporting nanostructures in determining the optimal thickness of adhesion layer. Marginal thickness of Ti adhesion layer for supporting Au nanostructures fabricated on a silica glass substrate was experimentally analyzed by an adhesion strength test using a nano-indentation technique.

Flexible inverters based on complementary thin-film transistor (CTFTs) are important because they have low power consumption and other advantages over single type TFT inverters. In addition, integrated CTFTs in flexible electronic circuits on low-cost, large area and mechanically flexible substrates have potentials in various applications such as radio-frequency identification tags (RFIDs), sensors, and backplanes for flexible displays. In this work, we introduce flexible complementary inverters using pentacene and amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) for the p-channel and n-channel, respectively. The CTFTs were fabricated on polyimide (PI) substrate. Firstly, a thin poly-4-vinyl phenol (PVP) layer was spin coated on PI substrate to make a smooth surface with rms surface roughness of 0.3 nm, which was required to grow high quality IGZO layers. Then, Ni gate electrode was deposited on the PVP layer by e-beam evaporator. 400-nm-thick PVP and 20-nm-thick ALD Al2O3 dielectric was deposited in sequence as a double gate dielectric layer for high flexibility and low leakage current. Then, IGZO and pentacene semiconductor layers were deposited by rf sputter and thermal evaporator, respectively, using shadow masks. Finally, Al and Au source/drain electrodes of 70 nm were respectively deposited on each semiconductor layer using shadow masks by thermal evaporator. Basic electrical characteristics of individual transistors and the whole CTFTs were measured by a semiconductor parameter analyzer (HP4145B, Agilent Technologies) at room temperature in the dark. Performance of those devices then was measured under static and dynamic mechanical deformation. Effects of cyclic bending were also examined. The voltage transfer characteristics (Vout- Vin) and voltage gain (-dVout/dVin) of flexible inverter circuit were analyzed and the effects of mechanical bending will be discussed in detail.

Low-cost, high efficiency solar cells are tremendous interests for the realization of a renewable and clean energy source. ZnTe based solar cells have a possibility of high efficiency with formation of an intermediated energy band structure by impurity doping. In this work, the ZnTe:O/CdS/ZnO structure was fabricated by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. A pulsed (10 Hz) Nd:YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 266 nm was used to produce a plasma plume from an ablated a ZnTe target, whose density of laser energy was 4.5 J/cm2. The base pressure of the chamber was kept at a pressure of approximately $4{\times}10-7Torr$. ZnO thin film with thickness of 100 nm was grown on to ITO/glass, and then CdS and ZnTe:O thin film were grown on ZnO thin film. Thickness of CdS and ZnTe:O were 50 nm and 500 nm, respectively. During deposition of ZnTe:O films, O2 gas was introduced from 1 to 20 mTorr. For fabricating ZnTe:O/CdS/ZnO solar cells, Au metal was deposited on the ITO film and ZnTe:O by thermal evaporation method. From the fabricated ZnTe:O/CdS/ZnO solar cell, current-voltage characteristics was measured by using HP 4156-a semiconductor parameter analyzer. Finally, solar cell performance was measured using an Air Mass 1.5 Global (AM 1.5 G) solar simulator with an irradiation intensity of 100 mW cm-2.

본 연구에서는 유기소자의 절연박막을 습식 공정이 아닌 건식 공정인 플라즈마 중합법을 이용하여 Styrene 유기물을 사용하여 절연박막을 제작하였다. 안정적인 플라즈마 형성을 위해 버블러와 써큐레이터를 활용하여 정량적인 모노머 주입을 가능하게 하였다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 중합된 Styrene 박막을 30, 60 nm 터널링층으로 활용하였고, Styrene 절연층의 두께를 430 nm, Au 메모리층의 두께를 7 nm, 활성층의 두께를 40 nm, 소스와 드레인 전극의 두께를 50 nm로 유기 메모리 소자를 제작하여 특성을 평가하였다. 40/-40 V의 double sweep시 45 V의 히스테리시스 전압을 얻을 수 있었고, 이는 MMA를 터널링층으로 활용한 유기 메모리 소자의 히스테리시스 전압이 27 V인 것과 비교하였을 때 60% 상승한 효과로 히스테리시스 전압이 18 V 이상 높은 결과이다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 플라즈마 중합된 Styrene 유기 박막의 높은 전하 포집 특성을 활용하여 전체층을 유기 재료로 제작한 유연한 메모리 소자의 응용 가능성을 기대한다.

기판온도 $300^{\circ}C$에서 열증착법에 의해 p형 <100> Si 기판위에 CuPc(Copper Phthalocyanine) 결정 박막을 증착하였다. X선 회절분석으로부터 CuPc 박막은 a-축 방향으로 성장하였음을 알 수 있었다. CuPc분자들이 기판면위에 수직인 CuPc/Si박막의 광전특성을 조사하기 위하여 수직방향의 전류-전압 (I-V) 특성을 기판 Si의 특성과 비교 관찰하였다. 저항성 접촉을 위해 기판인 p형 Si위에 전극으로 Au를 증착시켰다. Au/Si 접합에 빛을 조사한 결과 전류는 증가하지만 광기전력효과는 관찰되지 않았다. p형 반도체인 CuPc 박막과 기판 p-Si의 접합은 장벽을 형성하지 않기 때문에 빛을 조사하지 않았을 때의 I-V 특성은 저항성을 나타낸다. 빛을 조사하였을 때 CuPc/Si 접합의 증가된 광전류는 Si 웨이퍼보다 현저하게 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 CuPc 층이 600 nm 파장에서의 붉은 빛을 현저하게 흡수하여 광전류에 기여하는 다량의 광캐리어를 형성함을 알 수 있다. CuPc/Si 박막은 $J_{sc}$ (short-circuit photocurrent) $4.29\;mA/cm^{2}$와 $V_{oc}$ (open circuit photovoltage) 12 mV의 광기전력 특성을 보여준다.

전기 전자 소자를 제작하는 방법으로 Langmuir-Boldgett(LB)법이 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 수면위에 형성된 단분자막을 압축 또는 확장하면, 분자가 배향하는 과정에서 맥스웰 변위전류(MDC)가 흐른다. MDC는 전속밀도의 변화에 기인해서 흐르므로 MDC를 측정하는 것에 의해 분자의 동적 거동 관찰할 수 있다. 단분자막을 압축하는 속도와 분자면적은 서로 선형적인 관계를 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 압축속도를 30, 40, 50mm/min으로 달리하여 단분자막의 동적 거동을 관찰하였으며 LB법을 이용하여 Arachidic acid 단분자를 slide glass 위에 Y-type으로 9$\sim$21층의 다층막을 누적하여 Au/Arachidic acid/Al 소자를 제작하였다. 또한 Metal-Insulator-Metal(MIM) 소자의 I-V 특성을 측정하여 전극간의 거리가 커질수록 절연특성이 좋아짐을 확인하였다.

The LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) technology meets the requirements for high quality microelectronic devices and microsystems application due to a very good electrical and mechanical properties, high reliability and stability as well as possibility of making integrated three dimensional microstructures. The wet process, which has been applied to the etching of the metallic thin film on the ceramic substrate, has multi process steps such as lithography and development and uses very toxic chemicals arising the environmental problems. The other side, Plasma technology like ion beam sputtering is clean process including surface cleaning and treatment, sputtering and etching of semiconductor devices, and environmental cleanup. In this study, metallic multilayer pattern was fabricated by the ion beam etching of Ti/Pd/Cu without the lithography. In the experiment, Alumina and LTCC were used as the substrate and Ti/Pd/Cu metallic multilayer was deposited by the DC-magnetron sputtering system. After the formation of Cu/Ni/Au multilayer pattern made by the photolithography and electroplating process, the Ti/Pd/Cu multilayer was dry-etched by using the low energy-high current ion-beam etching process. Because the electroplated Au layer was the masking barrier of the etching of Ti/Pd/Cu multilayer, the additional lithography was not necessary for the etching process. Xenon ion beam which having the high sputtering yield was irradiated and was used with various ion energy and current. The metallic pattern after the etching was optically examined and analyzed. The rate and phenomenon of the etching on each metallic layer were investigated with the diverse process condition such as ion-beam acceleration energy, current density, and etching time.

Various materials including conductive, dielectric, and semi-conductive materials, constitute suitable candidates for printed electronics. Metal nanoparticles (e.g. Ag, Cu, Ni, Au) are typically used in conductive ink. However, easily oxidized metals, such as Cu, must be processed at low temperatures and as such, photonic sintering has gained significant attention as a new low-temperature processing method. This method is based on the principle of selective heating of a strongly absorbent film, without light-source-induced damage to the transparent substrate. However, Cu nanoparticles used in inks are susceptible to the growth of a native copper-oxide layer on their surface. Copper-oxide-nanoparticle ink subjected to a reduction mechanism has therefore been introduced in an attempt to achieve long-term stability and reliability. In this work, a flash-light sintering process was used for the reduction of an inkjet-printed Cu(II)O thin film to a Cu film. Using a photographic lighting instrument, the intensity of the light (or intense pulse light) was controlled by the charged power (Ws). The resulting changes in the structure, as well as the optical and electrical properties of the light-irradiated Cu(II)O films, were investigated. A Cu thin film was obtained from Cu(II)O via photo-thermal reduction at 2500 Ws. More importantly, at one shot of 3000 Ws, a low sheet resistance value ($0.2527{\Omega}/sq.$) and a high resistivity (${\sim}5.05-6.32{\times}10^{-8}{\Omega}m$), which was ~3.0-3.8 times that of bulk Cu was achieved for the ~200-250-nm-thick film.

최근에 유기물 전계효과 트랜지스터의 연구는 전자 소자 분야에서 널리 알려져 있다. 특히 본 연구에서는 CuPc 물질을 기본으로 하여 소자를 제작하고, 또한 기판의 온도를 달리 하여 CuPc/Au 구조 소자의 표면 전위 특성을 측정하였다. 기판은 slide glass를 사용하였고, CuPc 박막파 Au 전극은 진공 증착법을 이용하였다. 측정 온도의 범위는 0 - $100^{\circ}C$이었으며, 모든 측정은 진공 상태에서 측정이 이루어 졌다. 상온에서의 표면 전위 값은 약 600mV의 값을 보이고 있으며, 기판의 온도가 $100^{\circ}C$일 때 표면 전위 값은 약 500mV의 값으로 감소하는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 표면 전위 값의 변화는 기판의 온도가 상승하면서 CuPc 벌크 박막의 특성이 변화하는 것으로 판단되며, AFM 측정을 통해 확인 할 수 있었다.
