전자싸이크로트론공명(ECR: Electro Cyclotron Resonance)상온화학증착법에 의해 PET 폴리머기판위에 $SnO_x$ 박막을 제조하고, Sn의 전구체인 TMT(Tetra-methyl Tin)에 대한 산소와 수소의 몰 비 변화가 박막의 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다 비화학양론적인 결합에 의해 성장된 투명 주석 산화막은 주입되는 산소/TMT, 수소/TMT몰 비에 의하여 조성비가 결정되고, 결정된 조성비에 의해 전기적 성질이 결정되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 산소/TMT의 몰 비 변화에 대하여 PET(polyethylene terephthalate)에 증착된 $SnO_x$ 박막의 최적 조성비는 1:2.4이다. 조성비는 반응에 참가하는 산소의 양이 증가할수록 점차적으로 증가하고, 과량의 몰 비로 산소가 주입될 경우 박막내의 Sn과 결합하지 않고 잉여 산소전하밀도를 증가시켜 bulk한 박막을 형성해 전기 비저항을 증가시키는 주요 원인이 된다. 수소/TMT의 몰 비는 산소 몰 비와 같이 증착되는 $SnO_x$의 몰 비에 영향을 주어 조성비를 변화시킴으로서 전기비저항을 결정하는데 크게 기여한다. 반응기내에 공급되는 수소량이 적으면 TMT의 불완전한 분해를 초래하여 반응에 필요한 $Sn^+$ 이온농도가 낮아지게 되고,상대적으로 잉여 산소함량이 증가하면서 높은 저항을 나타낸다. 임계값 이상으로 많은 양의 수소를 공급하면 플라즈마 내에 존재하는 $O^-$ 이온을 환원시켜 주석 산화막의 형성에 필요한 $O^-$ 이온의 감소로 전기저항이 오히려 증가하게 된다. 따라서 박막의 Sn:O의 조성비는 주입되는 산소량이 증가할수록 더욱 큰 값을 갖게 되고, 주입되는 수소량이 증가할수록 작은 값을 갖게 된다. 본 연구범위에서 TMP에 대한 산소의 몰 비는 80배, 수소의 몰 비는 40배일 때 가장 투명도와 전기전도도를 지니는 박막 특성을 나타내었다.

고분자 필름의 표면에 친수성의 증가시키는 것은 그 자기 세정 및/또는 방담 특성을 가지게 하는데 중요한 접근 방법이다. 일반적으로 친수성 표면은 비이온 계면활성제를 코팅하거나 표면에너지를 증가시킴으로써 제조할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가격이 저렴하고 톨루엔 용제에 잘 용해될 뿐 만아니라 커플링제와 반응할 수 잇는 하이드록시기를 가지고 있는 Tween, Span 및 PEG-PPG 블록공중합체를 선택하여 실험을 수행하였다. 배합 조건에 따라 PET 필름 표면의 친수도에 큰 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 그러나, PET 필름의 표면상에 단순히 이들 계면활성제의 도입은 수세 후에는 높은 내구성을 보여주지 않았다. 내구성을 높이기 위해 에폭시 및 이소시아네이트와 같은 두 종류의 커플링제를 사용하였다. 코팅액에 6 중량 %isophrone 디이소시아네이트 (IPDI)를 함유한 코팅액으로 코팅된 PET 필름 표면의 물에 대한 접촉각은 $8.7^{\circ}$까지 낮아졌으며, 이는 매우 높은 친수성에 대한 간접적인 증거이다. 또한, 코팅된 PET 필름의 광 (파장 500 nm) 투과율 값은 높은 투명 특성을 유지하면서 87%에서 85%로 약간 감소하였다. 이 PET 필름은 자기 세정 특성이 필요한 필름산업에 적합한 소제로 사용될 수 있다.

Despite recent efforts for fabricating flexible transparent conducting films (TCFs) with low resistance and high transmittance, several obstacles to meet the requirement of flexible displays still remain. Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films, which have been traditionally used as the TCFs, have a serious obstacle in TCFs applications. SWNTs are the most appropriate materials for conductive films for displays due to their excellent high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. Recently, it has been demonstrated that acid treatment is an efficient method for surfactant removal. However, the treatment has been reported to destroy most SWNT. In this work, the fabrication by the spraying process of transparent SWNT films and reduction of its sheet resistance by Au-ionic doping treatment on PET substrates is researched. Arc-discharge SWNTs were dispersed in deionized water by adding sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as surfactant and sonicated, followed by the centrifugation. The dispersed SWNT was spray-coated on PET substrate and dried on a hotplate. When the spray process was terminated, the TCF was immersed into deionized water to remove the surfactant and then it was dried on hotplate. The TCF film was then was doped with Au-ionic doping treatment, rinsed with deionized water and dried. The surface morphology of TCF was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The sheet resistance and optical transmission properties of the TCF were measured with a four-point probe method and a UV-visible spectrometry, respectively. This was confirmed and discussed on the XPS and UPS studies. We show that 87 ${\Omega}/{\Box}$ sheet resistances with 81% transmittance at the wavelength of 550 nm. The changes in electrical and optical conductivity of SWNT film before and after Au-ionic doping treatments were discussed. The effects of hole transport interface layer using Au-ionic doping SWNT on the performance of organic solar cells were investigated.

Fabrications of antireflection structures on solar cell were investigated to trap the light and to improve quantum efficiency. Introductions of patterned substrate or textured layer for Si solar cell were performed to prevent reflectance and to increase the path length of incoming light. However, it is difficult to deposit conformally flat electrode on perpendicular plane. ZnO is II-VI compound semiconductor and well-known wide band-gap material. It has similar electrical and optical properties as ITO, but it is nontoxic and stable. In this study, Al-doped ZnO thin films are deposited as transparent electrode by atomic layer deposition method to coat on Si substrate with micro-scale structures. The deposited AZO layer is flatted on horizontal plane as well as perpendicular one with conformal 200 nm thickness. The carrier concentration, mobility and resistivity of deposited AZO thin film on glass substrate were measured $1.4\times10^{20}cm^{-3}$, $93.3cm^2/Vs$, $4.732\times10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ with high transmittance over 80%. The AZO films were coated with polyimide and performed selective polyimide stripping on head of column by reactive ion etching to measure resistance along columns surface. Current between the micro-columns flows onto the perpendicular plane of deposited AZO film with low resistance.

In this study, we investigated the optical, electrical, and structural properties of the IGZO($In_2O_3:Ga_2O_3:ZnO$=1:9:90 wt.%) thin films prepared by RF-magnetron sputtering system under various substrate temperatures. All of the IGZO thin films shows an average transmittance of over the 80% in visible range. Most of all, deposited IGZO thin film at $100^{\circ}C$ substrate temperature have ZnO (002) of main growth peak and 17.02 nm of increased grains. And also IGZO thin film have low resistivity($1.35{\times}10^{-3}\;\Omega{\cdot}cm$), high carrier concentration($6.62{\times}10^{20} cm^{-3}$) and mobility($80.1 cm^2$/Vsec). IGZO thin film have 2.08 mV at surface potential of electric force microscopy(EFM). We suggest that pre-annealing at $100^{\circ}C$ can be applied for improving optical, electrical and structural properties.

Transparent electronics has been one of the key terminologies forecasting the ubiquitous technology era. Several researchers have thus extensively developed transparent oxide-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) on glass and plastic substrates although in general high voltage operating devices have been mainly studied considering transparent display drivers. However, low voltage operating oxide TFTs with transparent electrodes are very necessary if we are aiming at logic circuit applications, for which transparent complementary or one-type channel inverters are required. The most effective and low power consuming inverter should be a form of complementary p-channel and n-channel transistors but real application of those complementary TFT inverters also requires electrical- and even photo-stabilities. Since p-type oxide TFTs have not been developed yet, we previously adopted organic pentacene TFTs for the p-channel while ZnO TFTs were chosen for n-channel on sputter-deposited $AlO_x$ film. As a result, decent inverting behavior was achieved but some electrical gate instability was unavoidable at the ZnO/$AlO_x$ channel interface. Here, considering such gate instability issues we have designed a unique transparent complementary TFT (CTFTs) inverter structure with top n-ZnO channel and bottom p-pentacene channel based on 12 nm-thin nano-oxide/self assembled monolayer laminated dielectric, which has a large dielectric strength comparable to that of thin film amorphous $Al_2O_3$. Our transparent CTFT inverter well operate under 3 V, demonstrating a maximum voltage gain of ~20, good electrical and even photoelectric stabilities. The device transmittance was over 60 % and this type of transparent inverter has never been reported, to the best of our limited knowledge.

Electrical and optical characteristics of indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium zinc oxide (IZO) films without and with $(SiO_2)_3(ZnO)_7$ at.% (SZO) film deposited on poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN) and poly(ethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates as a gas barrier layer for flexible display were studied. The ITO and IZO films with SZO gas barrier layer showed the improved properties which were both the high transmittance of average 80% in the visible light range and the decreased sheet resistance as compared to those of ITO and IZO films without SZO layer. Particularly, the PEN substrate with only SZO gas barrier layer had a low water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of $\sim10^{-3}g/m^2$/day. Thus, we suggest that the SZO film with protection ability against the water vapor permeation can be applied to gas barrier layer for flexible display.

Device quality indium tin oxide (ITO) films are deposited on glass substrates and ultra-thin diamond-like carbon films are deposited as a buffer layer on ITO by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser at 355 nm and 532 nm wavelength. ITO films deposited at room temperature are largely amorphous although their optical transmittances in the visible range are > 90%. The resistivity of their amorphous ITO films is too high to enable an efficient organic light-emitting device (OLED), in contrast to that deposited by a KrF laser. Substrate heating at $200^{\circ}C$ with laser wavelength of 355 nm, the ITO film resistivity decreases by almost an order of magnitude to $2{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}\;cm$ while its optical transmittance is maintained at > 90%. The thermally induced crystallization of ITO has a preferred <111> directional orientation texture which largely accounts for the lowering of film resistivity. The background gas and deposition distance, that between the ITO target and the glass substrate, influence the thin-film microstructures. The optical and electrical properties are compared to published results using other nanosecond lasers and other fluence, as well as the use of ultra fast lasers. Molecularly doped, single-layer OLEDs of ITO/(PVK+TPD+$Alq_3$)/Al which are fabricated using pulsed-laser deposited ITO samples are compared to those fabricated using the commercial ITO. Effects such as surface texture and roughness of ITO and the insertion of DLC as a buffer layer into ITO/DLC/(PVK+TPD+$Alq_3$)/Al devices are investigated. The effects of DLC-on-ITO on OLED improvement such as better turn-on voltage and brightness are explained by a possible reduction of energy barrier to the hole injection from ITO into the light-emitting layer.
