P-type Ce/Yb-filled skutterudites were synthesized, and their charge transport and thermoelectric properties were investigated with partial double filling and charge compensation. In the case of $(Ce_{1-z}Yb_z)_{0.8}Fe_4Sb_{12}$ without Co substitution, the marcasite ($FeSb_2$) phase formed alongside the skutterudite phase, but the generation of the marcasite phase was inhibited by increasing Co concentration. The electrical conductivity decreased with increasing temperature, exhibiting degenerate semiconductor behavior. The Hall and Seebeck coefficients were positive, which confirmed that the specimens were p-type semiconductors with holes as the major carriers. The carrier concentration decreased as the concentration of Ce and Co increased, which led to decreased electrical conductivity and increased Seebeck coefficient. The thermal conductivity decreased due to a reduction in electronic thermal conductivity via Co substitution, and due to decreased lattice thermal conductivity via double filling of Ce and Yb. $(Ce_{0.25}Yb_{0.75})_{0.8}Fe_{3.5}Co_{0.5}Sb_{12}$ exhibited the greatest dimensionless figure of merit (ZT = 0.66 at 823 K).

New Oligothiophene derivatives having liquid crystalline property have been designed, synthesized and characterized. New oligothiophene derivatives were prepared by a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction via zinc-substituted thiophene. The structures of materials were characterized by various spectroscopies. The new obtained oligothiophene derivatives showed high thermal stability above 300 $^{\circ}C$ and exhibited several transition temperatures, evidence of mesophase. In field-effect transistors, a charge carrier mobility of 1.9 x $10^{-2}$ $cm^2$/Vs was observed.

Displacement current $(I_{dis})$ and drain-to-source current $(I_{DS})$ are evaluated using the simultaneous measurements of source $(I_S)$ and drain $(I_D)$ currents during the application of a constant drain voltage and a triangular-wave gate voltage $(V_{GS})$ to top-contact pentacene thin-film transistors.

Quantum dots(QDs) with their tunable luminescence properties are uniquely suited for use as lumophores in light emitting device. We investigate the microstructural effect on the electroluminescence(EL). Here we report the use of inorganic semiconductors as robust charge transport layers, and demonstrate devices with light emission. We chose mechanically smooth and compositionally amorphous films to prevent electrical shorts. We grew semiconducting oxide films with low free-carrier concentrations to minimize quenching of the QD EL. The hole transport layer(HTL) and electron transport layer(ETL) were chosen to have carrier concentrations and energy-band offsets similar to the QDs so that electron and hole injection into the QD layer was balanced. For the ETL and the HTL, we selected a 40-nm-thick $ZnSnO_x$ with a resistivity of $10{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, which show bright and uniform emission at a 10 V applied bias. Light emitting uniformity was improved by reducing the rpm of QD spin coating.At a QD concentration of 15.0 mg/mL, we observed bright and uniform electroluminescence at a 12 V applied bias. The significant decrease in QD luminescence can be attributed to the non-uniform QD layers. This suggests that we should control the interface between QD layers and charge transport layers to improve the electroluminescence.

DC 스트레스에 의해 노쇠화된 짧은 채널 LDD NMOSFET에서 문턱전압과 subthreshold 전류곡선의 변화를 관측하여 hot-carrier 주입에 의한 노쇠화를 연구하였다. 포화영역에서 정의된 문턱전압의 변화 ${Delta}V_{tex}$를 trapped charge에 기인한 변화성분 ${Delta}V_{ot}$와 midgap에서 문턱전압 영역에 생성된 계면상태에 의한 변화성분${Delta}V_{it}$로 분리하였다. 게이트 전압이 드레인 전압보다 큰 positive oxid field ($V_g>V_d$) 조건에서는 전자들이 게이트 산화막으로 주입되어 문턱전압이 증가되었으나 subthreshold swing은 크게 변화하지 않고 subthreshold 전류곡선만 높은 게이트 전압으로 평행 이동하였다. 게이트 전압이 드레인 전압보다 낮은 negative oxide field ($V_g) 조건에서는 hole이 주입되고 포획된 결과를 보였으나 포획된 positive charge수 보다 더 많은 계면상태가 동시에 생성되어 문턱전압과 subth-reshold swing이 증가되었다.

The porous $Mg_3Sb_2$ based compounds with 60~70% of relative density were prepared by powder compaction at room temperature and reactive liquid phase sintering at 1023 K for 4hrs. The stoichiometric $Mg_3Sb_2$ compounds were synthesized from elemental Sb and Mg powder in the mixing range of 61~63 at% Mg. The increased scattering effect due to the micro-pores reduced the mobility of the charge carrier and the phonon, which caused the electrical conductivity and the thermal conductivity to decrease, respectively. But the scattering effect was greater for the electrical conductivity than for the thermal conductivity. Excess Mg alloyed in the $Mg_3Sb_2$ compounds decreased the electrical conductivity, but had no effect on the thermal conductivity. On the other hand, the large increase of the Seebeck coefficient was the result of a decrease in the charge carrier density due to the excess Mg. Dimensionless figure of merit of the porous $Mg_3Sb_2$ compound reached a maximum value of 0.28 at 61 at% Mg. The obtained value was similar to that of $Mg_3Sb_2$ compounds having little pores.

Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3박막을 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) 기판에 증착하였다 .누설전류에 영향을 주는 것으로 알려진 열처리 조건, dopant 효과 등을 평가하고자 이온반경이Ti와 유사하고 대부분이 Ti 자리를 치환하는 것으로 알려진 Nb와 Al을 각각 danor와 acceptor로 선택하여 BST 박막에 첨가한 후 누설전류를 측정하였다. 고온에서 in-situ 증착된 BST 박막은 거친 표면 형상을 보이며 낮은 전압에서 파괴가 발생하고, Nb 첨가로 누설전류가 증가하였다. 삼온 증착후 후열처리된 박막은 표면 형상도 평할도가 증가하였으며 in-situ로 제조된 박막에 비해 높은 파괴전압과 낮은 누설전류를 나타내었다. 특히 Al이 첨가된 BST 박막의 누설전류밀도는 ~10A/cm2로 도핑을 하지 않은 박막이나 Nb가 첨가된 박막에 비해 매우 낮은 누설전류밀도를 나타내었으며, 이는 산화로 인한 산소공공의 감소, 이동 가능한 hole의 감소와 후열처리과정중 계면 및 입계의 산화로 Schottky 장벽에 높아진 결과로 판단된다.

We have investigated the effect of ambient gases on the structural, electrical, and optical characteristics of ITO thin films intended for use as anode contacts in OLED (organic light emitting diodes) devices. These ITO thin films are deposited by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering under different ambient gases (Ar, Ar+$O_2$, and Ar+$H_2$) at $300{^{\circ}C}$. In order to investigate the influences of the oxygen and hydrogen, the flow rate of oxygen and hydrogen in argon mixing gas has been changed from 0.5 sccm to 5 sccm and from 0.01 sccm to 0.25 sccm, respectively. The intensity of the (400) peak in the ITO thin films increased with increasing $O_2$, flow rate whilst the (400) peak was nearly invisible in an atmosphere of Ar+$H_2$. The electrical resistivity of the ITO thin films increased with increasing $O_2$ flow rate, whereas the electrical resistivity decreased sharply under an Ar+$H_2$ atmosphere and was nearly similar regardless of the $H_2$ flow rate. The change of electrical resistivity with changes in the ambient gas composition was mainly interpreted in terms of the charge carrier mobility rather than the charge carrier concentration. All the films showed an average transmittance of over 80% in the visible range. The OLED device was fabricated with different ITO substrates made with the configuration of ITO/$\alpha$-NPD/DPVB/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al in order to elucidate the performance of the ITO substrate. Current density and luminance of OLED devices with ITO thin films deposited in Ar+$H_2$ ambient gas is the highest among all the ITO thin films.
