Graphene has emerged as a fascinating material for next-generation nanoelectronics due to its outstanding electronic properties. In particular, graphene-based field effect transistors (GFETs) have been a promising research subject due to their superior response times, which are due to extremely high electron mobility at room temperature. The biggest challenges in GFET applications are control of carrier concentration and opening the bandgap of graphene. To overcome these problems, three approaches to doping graphene have been developed. Here we demonstrate the decoration of Ni nanoparticles (NPs) on graphene films by simple annealing for p-type doping of graphene. Ni NPs/graphene films were fabricated by coating a $NiCl2{\cdot}6H2O$ solution onto graphene followedby annealing. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy revealed that high-density, uniformly sized Ni NPs were formed on the graphene films and the density of the Ni NPs increased gradually with increasing $NiCl2{\cdot}6H2O$ concentration. The formation of Ni NPs on graphene films was explained by heat-driven dechlorination and subsequent particlization, as investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The doping effect of Ni NPs onto graphene films was verified by Raman spectroscopy and electrical transport measurements.

감도가 우수하고 동작온도가 낮으며 반응속도가 빠른 암모니아 가스 센서를 제작하기 위해 ZnO에 촉매불순물 $MoO_3$의 첨가비와 박막 성장분위기 가스를 변화시키면서 RF 마그네트론 스펏터링 방법으로 박막을 성장하였다. 전기적 안정성을 향상시키기 위해 성장된 박막들을 aging 하여 센서를 제작한 후 암모니아 가스의 검지 특성을 조사하였다. 촉매불순물을 첨가하거나 산소분위기에서 성장된 박막의 경우 감도가 향상되었으며, 이는 표면 캐리어 농도와 전자이동도의 증가를 나타냈다. ZnO에 $MoO_3$를 무게비로 0.875 wt.% 첨가한 박막으로 제작한 센서가 160 ppm의 암모니아 가스 농도와 $300^{\circ}C$의 동작온도에서 70정도의 최대감도를 보였다. 산소분위기에서 $330^{\circ}C$로 72시간 동안 aging한 박막으로 만든 센서는 감도가 57정도로 감소하였으나, 센서의 동작온도가 $250^{\circ}C$로 낮아졌고, 선형성이 좋았으며 더 안정된 특성을 나타냈다.

Dislocations are basic crystal defects and represent one-dimensional native nanostructures embedded in a perfect crystalline matrix. Their structure is predefined by crystal symmetry. Two-dimensional, self-organized arrays of such nanostructures are realized reproducibly using specific preparation conditions (semiconductor wafer direct bonding). This technique allows separating dislocations up to a few hundred nanometers which enables electrical measurements of only a few, or, in the ideal case, of an individual dislocation. Electrical properties of dislocations in silicon were measured using MOSFETs as test structures. It is shown that an increase of the drain current results for nMOSFETs which is caused by a high concentration of electrons on dislocations in p-type material. The number of electrons on a dislocation is estimated from device simulations. This leads to the conclusion that metallic-like conduction exists along dislocations in this material caused by a one-dimensional carrier confinement. On the other hand, measurements of pMOSFETs prepared in n-type silicon proved the dominant transport of holes along dislocations. The experimentally measured increase of the drain current, however, is here not only caused by an higher hole concentration on these defects but also by an increasing hole mobility along dislocations. All the data proved for the first time the ambipolar behavior of dislocations in silicon. Dislocations in p-type Si form efficient one-dimensional channels for electrons, while dislocations in n-type material cause one-dimensional channels for holes.

ZnO has been extensively studied for optoelectronic applications such as blue and ultraviolet (UV) light emitters and detectors, because it has a wide band gap (3.37 eV) anda large exciton binding energy of ~60 meV over GaN (~26 meV). However, the fabrication of the light emitting devices using ZnO homojunctions is suffered from the lack of reproducibility of the p-type ZnO with high hall concentration and mobility. Thus, the ZnO-based p-n heterojunction light emitting diode (LED) using p-Si and p-GaN would be expected to exhibit stable device performance compared to the homojunction LED. The n-ZnO/p-GaN heterostructure is a good candidate for ZnO-based heterojunction LEDs because of their similar physical properties and the reproducibleavailability of p-type GaN. Especially, the reduced lattice mismatch (~1.8 %) and similar crystal structure result in the advantage of acquiring high performance LED devices with low defect density. However, the electroluminescence (EL) of the device using n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunctions shows the blue and greenish emissions, which are attributed to the emission from the p-GaN and deep-level defects. In this work, the n-ZnO:Ga/p-GaN:Mg heterojunction light emitting diodes (LEDs) were fabricated at different growth temperatures and carrier concentrations in the n-type region. The effects of the growth temperature and carrier concentration on the electrical and emission properties were investigated. The I-V and the EL results showed that the device performance of the heterostructure LEDs, such as turn-on voltage and true ultraviolet emission, developed through the insertion of a thin intrinsic layer between n-ZnO:Ga and p-GaN:Mg. This observation was attributed to a lowering of the energy barriers for the supply of electrons and holes into intrinsic ZnO, and recombination in the intrinsic ZnO with the absence of deep level emission.

본 연구에서는 고주파 마그네트론 스퍼터링 법으로 RF 파워 (50~80 W) 를 변화시켜가며 PES 플라스틱 기판 위에 GZO ($Ga_2O_3$ : 5 wt %, ZnO : 95 wt %) 박막을 제작하여, 광학적 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. XRD 측정을 통해 공정 조건에 관계없이 모든 GZO 박막이 c 축으로 우선 성장함을 확인할 수 있었고, 70W에서 제작한 GZO 박막이 반가폭 $0.44^{\circ}$로 가장 우수한 결정성을 나타내었다. 박막의 표면을 AFM 으로 조사한 결과, 표면 거칠기 값은 RF 파워 70 W 에서 제작한 박막에서 가장 낮은 값인 0.20 nm 를 나타내었다. Hall 측정 결과, RF 파워 70 W에서 제작한 GZO 박막에서 가장 낮은 비저항 $6.93{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ 값과 가장 높은 캐리어 농도 $7.04{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$ 및 이동도 $12.70cm^2/Vs$ 값을 나타내었다. 모든 GZO 박막은 RF 파워에 무관하게 가시광 영역에서 약 80 % 정도의 투과율을 나타냈으며, 캐리어 농도의 증가에 따라 에너지 밴드갭이 청색 편이 되는 Burstein-Moss 효과도 관찰할 수 있었다.

Cl 불순물 도핑에 따른 $SnSe_2$ 이차원 전자소재의 고온(300~450 K) 전도 물성 변화를 고찰하였다. 고상합성법을 통하여, 도핑이 없는 $SnSe_2$ 소재와 Cl이 도핑된 $SnSe_{1.994}Cl_{0.006}$ 소재를 합성하였으며, X선 회절 실험을 통하여, 두 재료 모두 불순물 없는 단일상이 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 비저항의 온도의존성 측정을 통하여, 전기 전도 mechanism이 Cl 도핑에 의해 hopping 전도에서 축퇴 전도로의 전이가 일어남을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 홀효과 측정을 통해 그러한 전도 mechanism의 전이가, Cl의 효과적인 donor 역할에 따른 자유전자의 농도 증가에서 기인한 것임을 확인하였다. 온도에 따른 전자이동도의 변화 분석을 통하여, 도핑이 없는 $SnSe_2$의 고온 전기 전도는 grain boundary 산란이 지배적인 영향을 미치는 반도체 전도 특성을 보이는 반면, Cl 도핑에 따라 grain boundary 산란 효과가 저하되는 금속 전도 특성을 보인다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) is a commonly used material for the front contact layer of chalcopyrite $CuInGaSe_2$ (CIGS) based thin film solar cells since it satisfies the requisite optical and electrical properties with low cost and abundant elemental availability. Low-resistivity and high-transmission front contacts have been developed for high-performance CIGS solar cells, and nearly meet the required performance. However, the durability of the cell especially for the corrosion resistance of AZO films has not been studied intensively. In this work, AZO films were prepared on Corning glass 7059 substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering depending on the hydrogen content. The electrical and optical properties and electrochemical corrosion resistance of the AZO films were evaluated as a function of the hydrogen content. With increasing hydrogen content to 6 wt%, the crystallinity, crystal size, and surface roughness of the films increased, and the resistivity decreased with increased carrier concentration, Hall mobility, oxygen vacancies, and $Zn(OH)_2$ binding on the AZO surface. At a hydrogen content of 6 wt%, the corrosion resistance was also relatively high with less columnar morphology, shallow pore channels, and lower grain boundary angles.

ZnO is gathering great interest for large square optoelectrical devices of flat panel display (FHD) and solar cell as a transparent conductive oxide (TCO). Herewith, Mg and IIIA (Al, In) co-doped ZnO films were prepared on SLG substrate using RF magnetron sputtering system. The effect of variation of atomic weight % of Mg and ZnO have been investigated. The atomic weight % Al and In are of 3% and kept constant throughout. The numbers of samples were prepared according to their different contents, which are $M_{3%}AZO_{94%}$, $M_{4%}AZO_{93%}-(MAZO)$ and $M_{3%}IZO_{94%}$, $M_{4%}IZO_{93%}-(MIZO)$ respectively. A RF power of 225 W and working pressure of 6 m Torr was used for the deposition at $300^{\circ}C$. All of the two thin film show good uniformity in field emission scanning electron microscopy image. $M_{3%}AZO_{94%}$ thin film shows overall better performance among the all. The film shows the best lowest resistivity, carrier concentration, mobility and Sheet resistance and is found to be are of $8.16{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$, $4.372{\times}10^{20}/cm^3$, $17.5cm^2/vs$ and $8.9{\Omega}/sq$ respectively. Also $M_{3%}AZO_{94%}$ thin film shows the relatively high optical band gap energy of 3.7 eV with high transmittance more than 80% in visible region required for the better solar cell performance.

Organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells have received attention because it has a number of advantages with excellent light harvesting, high carrier mobility, and facile solution processability and also recorded recently power conversion efficiency (PCEs) of over 20%. The major issue on perovskite solar cells have been reached the limit of small area laboratory scale devices produced using fabrication techniques such as spin coating and physical vapor deposition which are incompatible with low-cost and large area fabrication of perovskite solar cells using printing and coating techniques. To solution these problems, we have investigated the feasibility of achieving fully printable perovskite solar cells by the blade-coating technique. The blade-coating fabrication has been widely used to fabricate organic solar cells (OSCs) and is proven to be a simple, environment-friendly, and low-cost method for the solution-processed photovoltaic. Moreover, the film morphology control in the blade-coating method is much easier than the spray coating and roll-to-roll printing; high-quality photoactive layers with controllable thickness can be performed by using a precisely polished blade with low surface roughness and coating gap control between blade and coating substrate[1]. In order to fabricate perovskite devices with good efficiency, one of the main factors in printed electronic processing is the fabrication of thin films with controlled morphology, high surface coverage and minimum pinholes for high performance, printed thin film perovskite solar cells. Charge dissociation efficiency, charge transport and diffusion length of charge species are dependent on the crystallinity of the film [2]. We fabricated the printed perovskite solar cells with large area and flexible by the bar-coating. The morphology of printed film could be closely related with the condition of the bar-coating technique such as coating speed, concentration and amount of solution, drying condition, and suitable film thickness was also studied by using the optical analysis with SEM. Electrical performance of printed devices is gives hysteresis and efficiency distribution.
