In order to enhance discharge efficiency of Plasma Display Panel (PDP), we used an electride as electron emission layer for PDP during PDP discharge process. As the electride used in this study, $12CaO7Al_2O_3$, has low work function, it is expected to yield high electron emission during glow discharge process. $12CaO7Al_2O_3$ powder was synthesized from $CaCO_3$ and $Al(OH)_3$ powder and Ca treated for realization of electride characteristics. The $12CaO7Al_2O_3$ powder was coated on the surface of dielectric layer of PDP and discharge characteristics of electride material were evaluated.

In an attempt to enhance secondary electron emission characteristics of PDP, $12CaO{\cdot}7Al_2O_3$ electride was used as electron emission layer of PDP discharge cells. The compound was synthesized by Ca-treatment and its electron emission behavior during the glow discharge was measured. The results indicated that the spayed electride reduces the discharge voltage by ${\sim}20$ volts and decrease the discharge delay by more than 70%.

The Calcium-aluminate electride thin films on the quartz substrates was coated by sol-gel process. The crystallization of the C12A7 thin film was observed at $800^{\circ}C$ and high density C12A7 thin film was achieved on heat treatment at $1,200^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The reduction heat treatment of C12A7 thin film could be converted from insulator to conductor and the electrical conductivity was 120 S/cm in the C12A7 thin film heat treated at $1,200^{\circ}C$ with $H_2$ gas for 48 hours.

The breakdown characteristics of metal-oxide-semiconductor(MOS) capacitors fabricated by Al, polysilicon, and tungsten polycide gate electrodes onto gate oxide was evaluated by time zero dielectric breakdwon (TZDB). The average breakdown field of the gate oxide with tungsten polycide electride was lower than that of the polysilicon electrode. The B model (1~8MV/cm) failure of the gate oxide with tungsten polycide electrode was increased with increasing annealing temperature in the dry $O_{2}$ ambient. This is attributed ot fluorine and tungsten diffusion from thungsten silicide film into the gate oxide, and stress increase of tungsten polcide after annealing treatment.

Interface formation between $12CaO{\cdot}7Al_2O_3(C12A7:e^-)$ and Alq3 was investigated using in-situ ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The work function and vacuum level shift of $C12A7:e^-$ were change by different surface treatment from 2.6eV to 4.2eV. Also vacuum level shift $(\Delta)$ at the interface were from +0.3eV to -0.3eV.

The electrical transport properties of mayenite ($Ca_{12}Al_{14}O_{33}$ or $12CaO{\cdot}7Al_2O_3$; mostly abbreviated as $C_{12}A_7$) can be controlled in a wide range by varying the oxygen deficiency: At high temperatures mayenite becomes either an oxygen solid electrolyte, a mixed ionic/electronic conductor or an inorganic electride with metal-like properties upon chemical reduction (removing oxygen). The underlying defect chemistry can be understood on the basis of a relatively simple model-despite the complex cage structure: A point defect model based on the assumption that the framework $[Ca_{12}Al_{14}O_{32}]^{2+}$ acts as a pseudo-donor describes well the high temperature transport properties. It accounts for the observed conductivity plateau at higher oxygen activities and also describes the experimentally observed oxygen activity dependence of the electronic conductivity with -1/4 slope at temperatures between 800 and $1000^{\circ}C$. Doping effects in mayenite are still not well explored, and we review briefly the existing data on doping by different elements. Hydration of mayenite plays a crucial role, as Mayenite is hygroscopic, which may be a major obstacle for technical applications.

Insulating and conducting 12CaO ${\cdot}7Al_2O_3$ (Cl2A7)-doped indium tin oxide (ITO) (ITO:Cl2A7 insulator and electride) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by an RF magnetron co-sputtering method with increasing number of insulating and conducting Cl2A7 target chips. The structural, electrical and optical properties of these films were investigated. The carrier concentration decreased and resistivity increased in the films with increasing number of Cl2A7 target chips. The optical transmittance of all of the thin films was above 80 % in the visible wavelength range. The structural property and surface roughness of the films were examined and the decrease of crystallinity and surface roughness was strongly dependent on the change of grain size.
