  • CIS계 화합물 태양전지는 높은 광흡수계수와 열적 안정성 및 Ga 조성 조절을 통한 밴드갭 조절이 용이해 고효율 박막 태양전지로 각광 받고 있다. CIS 태양전지의 광 흡수층 제조 방법으로는 여러 가지 방법이 있지만 본 연구에서는 가장 높은 에너지 변환 효율을 달성한 Co-Evaporation 방법을 사용하기로 하였다. 미국의 NREL의 경우 Co-Evaporation 방법을 사용해 20%의 에너지 변환 효율을 달성한 바가 있다. 하지만 이러한 효율의 태양전지는 실험실에서 연구용으로 제작한 아주 작은 면적으로 태양전지 양산화에 그대로 적용하기는 힘들다. 따라서 CIGS 태양전지의 양산화 적용을 위해 대면적화가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 3 stage 방식을 이용해 광흡수층을 증착하여 최적화 조건을 연구하였다. 또한 기판의 면적 증가에 따라 효율과 Voc, Jsc, F.F가 얼마나 감소하는지 실험하여 보았다. 기판은 soda lime glass를 사용 하였으며 후면 전극으로 약$1{\mu}m$ 두께의 Mo를 DC Supptering 방법을 이용해 증착하였다. 다음으로 약 $2{\mu}m$이상의 광흡수층을 Co-Evaporation 방법을 이용하여 증착 하였으며 buffer층으로는 약 50nm의 CdS층을 CBD방법을 이용하여 제조 하였다. TCO층으로 약 50nm의 i-ZnO와 약 450nm의 Al-ZnO를 RF Sputtering 방법을 이용하여 증착 하였다. 마지막으로 앞면 전극으로 약 $3{\mu}m$의 Al을 Thermal Evaporation 방법으로 증착하였다. 태양전지 소자의 면적은 $0.49cm^2$, $25cm^2$, $100cm^2$로 각각 면적을 달리하며 효율을 비교 분석하였다.

  • TPS (Temperature Programmed Sublimation) technology is known to research for the plane evaporation of the organic film.[5] Using TPS technology, the plane source evaporation of NPB organic film has been studied for the first time. The NPB organic film consists of nano scale film phase and bulk phase on a substrate. The 400 ${\AA}$ in film phase thickness of NPB sublimates at the $175^{\circ}$ of the Ta made metal plate. It was proved that the sublimation temperature of the organic film has much lower than that of the organic powder. ($130^{\circ}$ is lower for Alq3 and $90^{\circ}$ is lower for NPB.)

  • In order to understand the doping control for the belt source evaporation, the Alq3 and NPB were codeposited on the Ta plate to re-sublimate. The very slow heating $(0.1^{\circ}C/s)$ of the Ta plate shows the separated rate signals of Alq3 and NPB sublimated from the Alq3-mixed NPB organic film on Ta plate. The ratio of the vapor rates of Alq3 and NPB was measured as same as that of each sublimation rates. Therefore, the doping control of the belt source evaporation is of the ratio of the vaporization rates of host and dopants.

  • The organic deposition chamber has been developed using belt source evaporation techniques for the first time. The deposition chamber is consisted of the belt source, organic vapor source, and the mask alignment assembly. The rollers operate for the thin metal belt to continuously move with the automatic tension control. It has been proved for the belt source evaporation easy to operate and the alignment of the substrate/shadow mask becomes so simple to use in AMOLED manufacturing industry.

  • The interaction between adherent molecules and gas molecules was modeled in the molecular scale and simulated by the molecular dynamics method in order to understand evaporation and removal processes of adherent molecules on metallic surface using high temperature gas flow. Methanol molecules were chosen as adherent molecules to investigate effects of adhesion quantity and gas molecular collisions because the industrial oil has too complex structures of fatty acid. Effects of adherent quantity, gas temperature, surface temperature and adhesion strength for the evaporation rate of adherent molecules and the molecular removal mechanism were investigated and discussed in the present study. Evaporation and removal rates of adherent molecules from metallic surface calculated by the molecular dynamics method showed the similar dependence on the surface temperature shown in the experimental results.

  • This research is based on fabricating Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$ thin-film by co-evaporation method. On $1^{st}$ - stage, $In_2Se_3$ phase appeared when the substrate temperature reached to $400^{\circ}C$, however, there was small effect between the substrate temperature and absorbency spectrum on $2^{nd}$, $3^{rd}$ - stage because the average thickness of the thin-film was $1{\mu}m$ or higher. SEM and XRD was measured on $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ stage and it showed as the substrate temperature increases, the density of the crystal structure increased with the decreament of the vacancy. Furthermore, the formation of Cu(In0.7Ga0.3)$Se_2$ phase showed at $480^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$.

  • ZnO nanowires were synthesized by the thermal evaporation method and their growth mechanisms were confirmed by the characterization of the structural features depending on the growth conditions. The increase of vaporization temperature accelerates the growth rate and morphologies of ZnO nanowires were drastically changed at the temperature over 1000$^{\circ}C$, because of changed $CO/CO_2$ partial pressure. Au particles play their role on growth of ZnO nanowire as catalyst at growth temperature over 700$^{\circ}C$. The synthesized ZnO nanowires exhibit blue emission at 380 nm.

  • Despite the success of Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$ (CIGS) based PV technology now emerging in several industrial initiatives, concerns about the cost of In and Ga are often expressed. It is believed that the cost of those elements will eventually limit the cost reduction of this technology. One candidate to replace CIGS is $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ (CZTSe), fabricated by co-evaporation technique. Co-evaporation technique will be one of the best methods to control film composition. This type of absorber derives from the $CuInSe^2$ chalcopyrite structure by substituting half of the indium atoms with zinc and other half with tin. Energy bandgap of this material has been reported to range from 0.8eV for selenide to 1.5eV for the sulfide and large coefficient in the order of $10^{14}cm^{-1}$, which means large possibility of commercial production of the most suitable absorber by using the CZTSe film. In this work, Effects of substrate temperature of $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ absorber layer on the performance of thin films solar cells were investigated. We reported on some of the absorber properties and device results.

  • $CdS_{1-x}Te_{1-x}$ polycrystalline thin films were fabricated from CdS and CdTe powder by co-evaporation method at $10^{-6}$ Torr. The Optimum evaporation condition was substrate temperature $T_{s}$=$150^{\circ}C$, evaporation time t=30 min. XRD spectrums indicated that the crystal structure chanced from zinc blonde (x$\leq$0.22) to wurtzite (x$\geq$0.96) through mixed structure (0.22$\leq$0.74) as composition value x increase to CdS. Conductive type was n-type by hot point probe method. van der Pauw method was not applicable for x<0,5 due to high hall voltages, Electrical resistivity and Hall carrier mobility were decreased as x increase, while Hall carrier concentration was increased. The optical bandgap of $CdS_{1-x}Te_{1-x}$ polycrystalline thin films measure d at R.T. had quardratic form and the bowing parameter was fitted as 1.98eV for theoretical value of 2.0eV. I-V characteristics of In/CdTe/$CdS_{x}Te_{1-x}$Au Schottky diodes showed that CdS-rich one had better forward characteristics than CdTe-rich one.

  • The fuel in conventional liquid fuel combustor is atomized by spray method for high efficiency and low emissions. To improve the overall fuel efficiency and lower pollutant emissions in liquid fuel combustion systems, the effective spatial and temporal separation of droplet evaporation from normal spray process is needed. In this paper, the recuperation of high temperature burnt gas for fuel evaporation was proposed to develop a cylindrical premixed combustor. The recuperation process using U shaped tube is effective to evaporate the liquid fuel. The results show that the flame mode is changed into red radiation flame, blue flame and lift off flame with decreasing equivalence ratio as gas fuel combustion mode. In particular, the blue flame is found to be very stable at heating load 9.2 kW and equivalence ratio 0.731. NOx was measured blow 105 ppm ($O_2$ zero base) from equivalence ratio 0.705 to 0.835. CO which is a very important emission index in liquid fuel combustor was observed below 5 ppm ($O_2$ zero base) under the same equivalence region.
