MWCNT(multi-wall carbon nanotube)-doped PEDOT:PSS(poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)), used as a HIL(hole injection layer) material in OLEDs(organic light emitting diodes), was spin-coated on to the ITO glass to form PEDOT:PSS-MWCNT nano composite thin film. Morphology and transparency characteristics of nano composite thin films with respect to the loading percent of MWCNT have been investigated using FT-IR, UV-Vis and SEM. Furthermore, ITO/PEDOT:PSS-MWCNT/NPD/$Alq_3$/Al devices were fabricated, and then J-V and L-V characteristics were investigated. Functional group-incorporated MWCNT was prepared by acid treatment and showed good dispersion property in PEDOT:PSS solution. PEDOT:PSS-MWCNT thin films possessed good transparency property. For multi-layered devices, it was shown that as the loading percent of MWCNT increased, the current density increased but the luminance dramatically decreased. It might be conclusively suggested that the enhanced charge mobility by MWCNT could increase the current density but the hole trapping property of MWCNT could dramatically decrease the hole mobility in the current devices.

The realization and origin of p-type ZnO are main issue for photoelectronic devices based on ZnO material. N-doped and nominally undoped p-type ZnO films were achieved on silicon (100) and homo-buffer layers by RF magnetron sputtering and post in-situ annealing. The undoped film shows high hole mobility of 1201 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and low resistivity of $0.0454\Omega{\cdot}cm$ with hole concentration of $1.145\times10^{17}cm^{-3}$. The photoluminescence(PL) spectra show the emissions related to FE, DAP and defects of $V_{Zn}$, $V_O$, $Zn_O$, $O_i$ and $O_{Zn}$.

Thin $AuO_x$ layer was formed by $O_2$ plasma treatment on Au electrode. The surface work function of plasma treatment showed higher by 0.5 eV than that of bare Au, reducing the hole injection barrier at the Au/pentacene interface. Using $O_2$ plasma-treated Au source-drain electrodes, the field-effect mobility of bottom-contact pentacene-OTFT was increased from 0.05 to 0.1 $cm^2/Vs$.

The ultra thin hole injection layer (HIL) was deposited on an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) anode by using an ion beam assisted d eposition (IBAD) for the fabrication of an polymeric electroluminescence device for the first time. The device with the HIL deposited by IBAD has higher external quantum efficiency than the device with the HIL by conventional thermal evaporation. It is found that the deposited HIL by IBAD has high surface coverage on ITO anode in a few nm regions because the HIL prepared has high adatom mobility by ion beam energy.

Through dark injection space-charge-limited current (DI-SCLC) and trap-free SCLC measurements, it has been demonstrated that an indium tin oxide (ITO)/buckminsterfullerene ($C_{60}$) electrode can form a quasi-Ohmic contact with N, N'-bis (naphthalen-1-yl)-N, N'-bis(phenyl) benzidine (NPB). The DI-SCLC results show a clear peak current along with a shift of the peak position as the field intensity varies, implying an Ohmic (or quasi-Ohmic) contact. A theoretical simulation of the SCLC also shows that ITO/$C_{60}$ forms an Ohmic contact with NPB. The Ohmic contact makes it possible to estimate the NPB hole mobility through the use of both DI-SCLC and trap-free SCLC analysis. This also contributes to a reduction in power consumption.

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) such as a drone taxi is one of the future transportations that have recently been attracting attention. Along with the construction of an urban terminal, an accurate landing system for UAM is also essential. However, in urban environments, reliable Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals cannot be received due to obstacles such as high-rise buildings which causes multipath and non-line of sight signal. Thus, the positioning result in urban environments from the GNSS signal is unreliable. Consequently, we propose the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) network to assist the soft landing of UAM on a vertiport. Since the positioning performance of UWB network depends on the layout of UWB anchors, it is necessary to optimize the layout of UWB anchors. In this paper, we propose a two-steps genetic algorithm that consists of binary genetic algorithm involved multi objectives fitness function and integer genetic algorithm involved robust solution searching fitness function in order to optimize taking into account Fresnel hole effects.

Highly stable amorphous indium.gallium.zinc-oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated with an etchstopper and via-hole structure. The TFTs exhibited 40 $cm^2$/V s field-effect mobility and a 0.21 V/dec gate voltage swing. Gate-bias stress induced a negligible threshold voltage shift (${\Delta}V_{th}$) at room temperature. The excellent stability is attribute to the via-hole and etch-stopper structure, in which, the source/drain metal contacts the active a-IGZO layer through two via holes (one on each side), resulting in minimized damage to the a-IGZO layer during the plasma etching of the source/drain metal. The comparison of the effects of the DC and AC stress on the performance of the TFTs at $60^{\circ}C$ showed that there was a smaller ${\Delta}V_{th}$ in the AC stress compared with the DC stress for the same effective stress time, indicating that the trappin of the carriers at the active layer-gate insulator interface was the dominant degradation mechanism.

This research approached electrical characteristics of organic light emitting diodes getting into the spotlight by next generation display device. Basic mechanism of OLED's emitting is known as that electron by cathode of lower work function and hole by anode of higher work function are driven and recombine exciton-state being flowed in emitting material layer passing carrier transport layer In order to make many electron-hole pairs, we must manufacture device in multi-layer structure. There are Carrier Injection Layer(CIL), Carrier Transport Layer(CTL) and Emitting Material Layer(EML) in multi-layer structure. It is important that regulate thickness of layer for high luminescence efficiency and set mobility of hole and electron.

Organic materials have considerable attention as active semiconductors for device applications such as thin-film transistors (TFTs) and diodes. Pentacene is a p-type organic semiconducting material investigated for TFTs. In this paper, we reported the morphological and electrical characteristics of pentacene TFT films. The pentacene transistors showed the mobility of 0.8 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vs and the grains larger than 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements were carried out on metal/insulator/organic semiconductor structure devices that had a depletion region at the insulator/organic-semiconductor interface. The duration of the capacitance transient in DLTS signals was several ten of seconds in the pentacene, which was longer than that of inorganic semiconductors such as Si. Based on the DLTS characteristics, the energy levels of hole and electron traps for the pentacene films were approximately 0.24, 1.08, and 0.31 eV above Ev, and 0.69 eV below Ec.

A series of new channel materials using triisopropylsilylethynyl anthracene(TIPSAN) derivatives are synthesized by well known reaction. The TIPSAN derivatives exhibit an excellent field-effect mobility with hole mobility as high as 0.1 cm2V-1s-1 by solution-process and slip stack structure of core and end groups with short $\pi-\pi$ stacking distance of $3.525{\sim}3.485\;{\AA}$ by single crystal structures.
