  • Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films are attractive materials as transparent conductive electrode because they are inexpensive, nontoxic and abundant element compared with indium tin oxide (ITO). AZO films have been deposited on glass (coming 1737) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering system. An ultrathin layer of nickel oxide (NiO) was deposited on the AZO anode to enhance the hole injections in organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). The current density-voltage and luminescence-voltage properties of devices were studied and compared with ITO device.

  • Cuprous oxide (Cu$_2$O) thin films are cathodically deposited on Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) substrate. The as-deposited films were heat-treated at 30$0^{\circ}C$ to obtain Cu$_2$O. After the heat treatment, the film was changed from Cu metal into Cu$_2$O phase. The phase, morphology and photocurrent density of the films were dependent on the preparation conditions of deposition time, applied voltage, and the duration of heat treatment. The Cu$_2$O films were characterized by X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The apparent grain size of the films formed by the normal method was larger than those grown by the pulse method. The CU$_2$O film what was deposited at -0.7 V for 300 sec and then, calcined at 30$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 h showed the predominant photocurrent density of 1048 $\mu$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$. And the stability of Cu$_2$O electrodes were improved with chemically deposited TiO$_2$ thin films on Cu$_2$O.

  • 비정질 indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (a-IGZO)는 thin film transistor (TFT)에 적용되는 대표적인 active layer로써 높은 이동도를 갖고, 도핑 농도의 제어가 용이하며 낮은 온도에서도 대면적에 증착할 수 있는 특성을 가지고 있다. 특히 저온에서 대면적 증착이 가능한 장점을 갖고 있어 LCD 분야뿐만 아니라 다양한 분야에서 상용화하려는 연구가 시도되고 있다. a-IGZO를 구성하는 물질 중에 이동도에 중요한 역할을 미치는 In은 대표적인 투명전극물질인 indium-tin oxide (ITO)에서 고전류 구동에 의한 확산이 널리 알려져 이에 대한 증명과 개선을 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 보고된 결과에 따르면 device에 지속적인 구동 전압을 가했을 때 In이 유기층로 확산되어 organic light emitting diode(OLED)의 성능을 저하시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, a-IGZO에서도 고전류 구동에 의한 indium의 이동이 필수불가결하다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 a-IGZO TFT에 고전압 구동을 반복적으로 시행함으로써 발생하는 전기적 특성의 변화를 확인하였고, 동일한 소자의 전극과 채널 사이의 계면에서 In 분포를 energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS)로 관찰하여 In 분포와 전기적 특성 간의 상관관계에 대해 연구하였다.

  • 투명전도성 산화물(TCO,Transparent Conductive Oxide) 물질로 널리 사용되는 ITO 박막은 산화물 반도체를 평판 디스플레이용 투명전극 재료로 개발하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. ITO (Indium tin oxide)는 약 3.5 eV 정도의 넓은 밴드갭을 가진 축퇴반도체로서 전기적 및 광학적 특성이 우수하기 때문에 대표적 투명전도성 박막으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있다.현재 양산화된 ITO의 조성비는 90:10WT%인 타겟을 사용하는대 투명전극은 비저항이 $1{\times}10-3{\Omega}/sq$이하로 면저항이 $103{\Omega}/sq$전기전도성이 우수하고 380에서 780 nm의 가시광선 영역에서의 투과율이 80% 이상이라는 두 가지 성질을 만족시키는 박막이다. 본 실험에서는 SnO2 1~5wt% 인 ITO타겟을 제작하고 RF-Magnetron Sputtering을 사용하여 영구자석을 이용한 고밀도 플라즈마로 높은 점착성과, 균일한 박막 및 대면적 공정이 가능한 RF-magnetron sputtering방법으로 기판인 Slide glass위에 ITO를 증착하여 광학적 특성 및 전기적 특성에 대하여 측정하였다. 전기적, 광학적 특성 등 XRD을 통해 분석하였다. 그리고 증착된 모든 ITO 박막에서 가시광 투과율을 측정하기 위해 UV-Vis spectrophptometer을 이용하여 분석한 결과 90%이상의 높은 투과율이 측정되었다. ITO박막은 Anti-Fogging, Self-Cleaning, Solar cell 및 디스플레이소자 등 다양한 산업에 이용 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

  • A transparent quantum dot (QD)-based light-emitting diode (LED) with silver nanowire (Ag NW) and indium-tin oxide (ITO) hybrid electrode is demonstrated. The device consists of an Ag NW-ITO hybrid cathode (-), zinc oxide, poly (9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), CdSe/CdZnS QD, tungsten trioxide, and ITO anode (+). The device shows pure green-color emission peaking at 548 nm, with a narrow spectral half width of 43 nm. Devices with hybrid cathodes show better performances, including higher luminance with higher current density, and lower threshold voltage of 5 V, compared with the reference device with a pure Ag NW cathode. It is worth noting that our transparent device with hybrid cathode exhibits a lifetime 9,300 seconds longer than that of a device with Ag NW cathode. This is the reason that the ITO overlayer can protect against oxidization of Ag NW, and the Ag NW underlayer can reduce the junction resistance and spread the current efficiently. The hybrid cathode for our transparent QD LED can applicable to other quantum structure-based optical devices.

  • We have introduced multifunctional ITO single thin films formed by normal sputtering system equipped with a plasma limiter which effectively blocks the bombardment of energetic negative oxygen ions. MFSS ITO also possesses high gas diffusion barrier properties simultaneously low resistivity even it deposited at room temperature without post annealing on plastic substrate. Nano-crystalline enhancement by Ar energy has energy window from 20 to 30 eV under blocking NOI condition. Effect of blocking NOI and optimal Ar energy window enhancement facilitate that resistivity is minimized to $3.61{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and the WVTR of 100 nm thick MFSS ITO is $3.9{\times}10^{-3}g/(m^2day)$ which is measured under environmental conditions of 90% relative humidity and 50oC that corresponds to a value of ${\sim}10^{-5}g/(m^2day)$ at room temperature. The multifunctional MFSS ITO with low resistivity, and low gas permeability will be highly valuable for plastic electronics applications.

  • Indium tin oxide (ITO) films have been prepared by DC magnetron sputtering. In order to improve the utilization efficiency of the target and reduce the cost of the film deposition processes, the powder target was used instead of the conventional ceramic target. As-deposited films were annealed at temperatures between $200^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in air. Also, the film was annealed in various atmospheres such as air, $O_2,\;H_2,\;N_2$, and vacuum at $400^{\circ}C$C for 30 min. Effects of the heat treatment conditions on structural, electrical, and optical properties of ITO films were investigated. The annealing temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ and atmospheres of $H_2$ and $N_2$ seem to be the most suitable conditions for post processing.

  • A bilayer is used as an anode electrode for organic electroluminescent devices. The bilayer consist of an ultrathjn ZnO layer adjacent to an hole-transporting layer and an Indium tin oxide(ITO) outerlayer. We tried to bring low the barrier between the devices as deposited ZnO films on ITO substrates. We fabricated the organic EL structure consisted of Al as cathode, $Al_{2}O_{3}$ as electro transport layer, Alq3 as luminously layer, triphenyl diamine(TPD) as hole transport layer and ZnO(l nm )/ITO(l50 nm) as anode. The result of this experiment was not good compared with the case of using ITO, Nevertheless, at this structure we obtained the lowest turn-on voltage as the value of 19 V and the good brightness (6200 $cd/m^{2}$) of the emission light from the devices. Then the quantum efficiency was to be 1.0%.

  • 이온빔 스퍼터링을 이용해 유리 기판위에 Tin-doped Indium Oxide (ITO) 투명 전도성 박막을 성장시켜 이온빔의 전류밀도와 에너지 그리고 기판 온도에 따르는 ITO박막의 구조적, 전기적, 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 반응성 가스인 산소의 아르곤에 대한 유량비를 변화시켜 이온 빔 스퍼터링시에 산소 분압이 ITO 박막의 물성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 이온 소스는 직경 5-cm인 cold hollow cathode ion gun을 이용하였으며 base pressure는 2$\times$10-5 Torr이며 가스 주입 후의 3$\times$10-4 Torr이하의 working pressure에서 박막을 증착하였다. 이온 전류 밀도는 5$\mu$A~15$\mu$A까지 변화시켰으며 이온 에너지는 0.7keV~1.3keV까지 변화시켰다. 반응성 가스는 아르곤에 대하여 Zmrp 0, 50, 100%까지 변화시켰으며 기판 온도는 50, 100, 150, 20$0^{\circ}C$로 변화시켰다. ITO 박막의 결정구조는 Ar 이온만으로 스퍼터링한 경우에는 XRD 상에서 [400] 방향으로 우선성장하였으며 산소분압이 증가함에 따라 [222] 방향으로 우선 성장함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 전기적 특성은 Ar ion에 Oxygen ion의 비율이 약간만 증가하여도 비저항의 큰 증가를 보여 주었다. 이는 산소 vacancy의 감소에 의한 것으로 여겨진다.

  • An effective light-managing structure has been achieved by using a nano-imprint method. A transparent conductor of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) was periodically nanodome-shaped to have a height of 200 nm with a diameter of 340 nm on a p-type Si substrate. This spontaneously formed a heterojunction between the ITO layer and Si substrate and effectively reduced the light-reflection. The ITO nanodome device response was significantly enhanced to 6010 from the value of 72.9 of a planar ITO film. The transparent conducting ITO nanodome structure efficiently manipulates the incident light driving into the light-absorber and can be applied in various photoelectric applications.
