ITO/GZO double layered thin films were prepared on transparent glass substrates. Ga-doped ZnO(GZO) films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering using an ZnO:Ga (98: 2 wt%) target. The post deposition annealing process was conducted for 30 minutes at different temperature of 100, 200, 300 and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. As increase annealing temperature, ITO/GZO double layered thin films show the increment of the prefer orientation of ZnO diffraction peak (002) in the XRD patterns. We obtained Ga-doped ZnO thin films with a lowest resistivity of $1.84{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm$ at $400^{\circ}C$ and transparency above 80% in visible ranges. The figure of merit obtained in this study means that ITO/GZO double layered thin films which annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ have the highest optoelectrical performance in this study.

본 연구에서는 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 법으로 Eagle 2000 유리 기판 위에 Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) 박막을 제작하여, 기판온도 $100{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ 및 박막두께에 따른 박막의 결정화 특성과 전기적 및 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. 공정조건에 상관없이 모든 GZO 박막은 c-축 배향성을 나타내는 (002) 회절 피크만이 관찰되었고, $300^{\circ}C$에서 400 nm 증착한 GZO 박막이 가장 우수한 결정성을 나타내었으며, 그 때의 반가폭 값은 $0.4^{\circ}$이었다. 또한, AFM 으로 박막의 표면형상을 분석한 결과 $300^{\circ}C$에서 400 nm 증착한 박막에서 비교적 입자가 고르고 치밀한 박막이 형성되었다. 전기적 특성은 홀 측정결과 $300^{\circ}C$에서 400 nm 증착한 박막에서 가장 낮은 비저항 ($8.01{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}cm$)과 가장 높은 전자 캐리어농도 ($3.59{\times}10^{20}\;cm^{-3}$) 를 나타내었다. 모든 GZO 박막은 공정조건에 무관하게 가시광 영역에서 80 %의 투과율을 나타내었으며, 기판온도 및 박막두께 증가에 따른 Ga 도핑효과의 증가로 밴드 갭이 넓어지는 Burstein-Moss 효과가 관찰되었다.

Ga doped ZnO (GZO) transparent conductive films were deposited on the glass substrates at room temperature by facing target sputtering (FTS) method. The sputtering targets were 100 mm diameter disks of GZO($Ga_2O_3$ 3.w.t%) and Zn metal. The GZO thin films were deposited as a various $PO_2$ (oxygen gas content). Base pressure was $2{\times}10^{-6}$torr, and a working pressure was 1mTorr. The properties of thin films on the electrical and optical properties of the deposited films were investigated by using a four-point probe, a Hall Effect measurement and an UV/VIS spectrometer. The minimum resistivity of film was $6.5{\times}10^{-4}$[$\Omega$-cm] and the average transmittance of over 80% was seen in the visible range.

Ga-doped ZnO (GZO)는 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 전기적으로 불안정하기 때문에 CIGS, CdTe, DSC와 같은 태양전지의 높은 공정온도 때문에 사용이 제한적이다. ZTO thin film은 Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2, ZnO tihin film과 비교하여 산소 및 수분에 대하여 투과성이 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 GZO single layer에 비하여 ZTO-GZO multi-layer를 구성하여 TCO를 제작하면, 높은 공정온도에서도 사용 가능하다. 실제 제작된 GZO single layer (300 nm)에서 비저항이 $7.69{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$에서 $500^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 후 $7.76{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$으로 급격하게 상승한다. ZTO single layer (420 nm)는 as-grown에서는 측정 불가했지만, $400^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 후 $3.52{\times}10^{-1}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ $500^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 후 $4.10{\times}10^{-1}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$으로 열처리에 따른 큰 변화가 없다. 또한 ZTO-GZO multi-layer (720 nm)의 경우 비저항이 $2.11{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$에서 $500^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 후 $3.67{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$으로 GZO에 비하여 상대적으로 변화폭이 작다. 또한 ZTO의 두께에 따른 영향을 확인하기 위하여 ZTO를 2 scan, 4 scan, 6 scan 공정 진행 및 $500^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 후 ZTO, ZTO-GZO thin film의 비저항을 측정하였다. ZTO의 경우 $3.34{\times}10^{-1}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ (2 scan), $3.62{\times}10^{-1}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ (4 scan), $4.1{\times}10^{-1}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ (6 scan)으로 큰 차이가 없으며, ZTO-GZO에서도 $3.73{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ (2 scan), $3.42{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ (4 scan), $3.67{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ (6 scan)으로 큰 차이가 없음을 확인하였다. 염료감응 태양전지에 적용하여 기존에 사용되는 FTO대신에 ZTO-GZO를 사용하며, 가격적 측면, 성능적 측면에서 개선 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

We have investigated the structural, electrical and optical properties of Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films prepared by RF magnetron sputtering with laboratory-made ZnO targets containing 1, 3, 5, 7 wt% of $Ga_2O_3$ powder as a doping source. The GZO thin films show the typical crystallographic orientation with c-axis regardless of $Ga_2O_3$ content in the targets. The $3,000{\AA}$ thick GZO thin films with the lowest resistivity of $7{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ are obtained by using the GZO ($Ga_2O_3$= 5 wt%) target. Optical transmittance of all films shows higher than 80% at the visible region. The optical energy band gap for GZO films increases as the carrier concentration ($n_e$) in the film increases.

The ZnO thin films doped with Ga(GZO) and both Ga and Ge(GZO:Ge) were deposited on glass substrate by using RF sputtering system respectively. Structural, morphological and optical properties of the films deposited in the same condition were investigated. Structural properties of the films were investigated by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, FE-SEM images and X-ray diffraction, XRD analysis. These studies showed shape of films' surface and direction of film growth respectively. It's showed that all films were deposited by vertical orientation strongly. It can be confirmed that all dopants of targets were included in deposited films by results of EDX analysis. UV-Vis spectrometer results showed that all samples had highly transparent characteristics in visible region and have similar 3.28~3.31 eV band gap. It was found that existence of all dopants by EDX analysis. Morphology and roughness of surface of each film were clearly shown by Atomic Force Microscopy, AFM images. It was found in this research that film doped with Ge more dense and stable with hardly any difference in gap energy compared to ZnO films.

In this work, Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films for gas sensor application were deposited on low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) substrates, by RF magnetron sputtering method. The LTCC substrate is one of promising materials for this application since it has many advantages (e.g., low cost production, high manufacturing yields and easy realizing 3D structure etc.). The LTCC substrates with thickness of $400\;{\mu}m$ were fabricated by laminating 12 green tapes which consist of alumina and glass particle in an organic binder. The structural properties of the fabricated GZO thin film with thickness of 50 nm is analyzed by X-ray diffraction method (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The film shows good adhesion to the substrate. The GZO gas sensors are tested by gas measurement system and show fast response and recovery characteristics to $NO_x$ gas that is 27.2 and 27.9 sec, recpectively.
