녹색발광을 하는 스피넬 구조의 ZnGa$_2$O$_4$:Mn 형광체박막을 산소분압비를 증착변수로 이용하여 rf 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 증착하였으며, 증착된 박막을 산화, 진공+질소 분위기에서 각각 열처리를 하였다. 증착시 산소분압비 및 열처리시 산소분위기가 형광체 박막의 성장 및 발광특성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 열처리시 박막의 산화를 막을수록 발광특성이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

ZnO with a large band gap (~3.37 eV) and exciton binding energy (~60 meV), is suitable for optoelectronic applications such as ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diodes (LEDs) and detectors. However, the ZnO-based p-n homojunction is not readily available because it is difficult to fabricate reproducible p-type ZnO with high hall concentration and mobility. In order to solve this problem, there have been numerous attempts to develop p-n heterojunction LEDs with ZnO as the n-type layer. The n-ZnO/p-GaN heterostructure is a good candidate for ZnO-based heterojunction LEDs because of their similar physical properties and the reproducible availability of p-type GaN. Especially, the reduced lattice mismatch (~1.8 %) and similar crystal structure result in the advantage of acquiring high performance LED devices. In particular, a number of ZnO films show UV band-edge emission with visible deep-level emission, which is originated from point defects such as oxygen vacancy, oxygen interstitial, zinc interstitial[1]. Thus, defect-related peak positions can be controlled by variation of growth or annealing conditions. In this work, the undoped ZnO film was grown on the p-GaN:Mg film using RF magnetron sputtering method. The undoped ZnO/p-GaN:Mg heterojunctions were annealed in a horizontal tube furnace. The annealing process was performed at $800^{\circ}C$ during 30 to 90 min in air ambient to observe the variation of the defect states in the ZnO film. Photoluminescence measurements were performed in order to confirm the deep-level position of the ZnO film. As a result, the deep-level emission showed orange-red color in the as-deposited film, while the defect-related peak positions of annealed films were shifted to greenish side as increasing annealing time. Furthermore, the electrical resistivity of the ZnO film was decreased after annealing process. The I-V characteristic of the LEDs showed nonlinear and rectifying behavior. The room-temperature electroluminescence (EL) was observed under forward bias. The EL showed a weak white and strong yellowish emission colors (~575 nm) in the undoped ZnO/p-GaN:Mg heterojunctions before and after annealing process, respectively.

Zinc gallate $(ZnGa_2O_4)$ thin film phosphors have been formed on ITO glass substrates by a sol-gel spinning coating method. For the formation of the film phosphors, the starting materials of zinc acetate dihydrate, gallium nitrate hydrate and 2-methoxyethanol as a solution were used. The thin films deposited were firstly dried at $100^{\circ}C$ and fired at $500^{\circ}C\;or\;600^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and then, annealed $500^{\circ}C\;or\;600^{\circ}C$ at for 30 min under an annealing atmosphere of 3% $H_2/Ar$. The thin films deposited on ITO glass plates showed the (220), (222), (400), (422), (511), and (440) peaks of spinel structure as well as the (311) peak indicating a standard powder diffraction pattern. The surface morphologies of the thin film phosphors were observed with a firing and an annealing condition. The $ZnGa_2O_4$ film phosphors showed the blue emission spectra around 410 nm as well as the emission spectra in the UV region (360-380 nm).

In order to form a p-type ZnO thin film, ZnO thin film is deposited by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) on GaAs substrate followed by nermal treatment that ensures the diffusion of As atoms from the GaAs substrate to the ZnO thin films. Photoluminescence (PL) measurement reveals that the improved qualify of ZnO thin films is acquired at the growth temperature of $400^{\circ}C$. It is ZnO film grown at $100^{\circ}C$ that shows the change from n-type to p-type by the thermal treatment. Measured carrier concentration in the film is changed from $-5.70{\times}10^{13}\;to\;9.09{\times}10^{18}$.

Solution-processed indium-gallium-zinc-oxide thin-film transistors were fabricated by sol-gel method. By a combinatorial study of InGaZnO multi-component system, optimum molar ratio of In, Ga, and Zn has been selected. By adjusting the In:Ga:Zn molar ratio, TFTs with field-effect mobility of 0.5 ~ 1.5 $cm^2$/V-s, threshold voltage of -5 ~ 5 V, and subthreshold slope of 1.5 ~ 2.5 V/decade were achieved.

ZnO 박막은 큰 밴드 갭 및 가시광 영역에서 높은 광투과성을 가지며, 제조조건에 따라 비저항의 범위가 폭넓게 변화하므로 태양전지, 평판 디스플레이의 투명 전극뿐만 아니라 음향공전기, 바리스터 등에 이용되고 있다. ZnO 박막의 전도성을 향상시키기 위해서 일반적으로 Al, Ga, Ti, In, B, H(n-type), 등과 N, As(p-type)의 도펀트를 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 전기화학적인 방법을 사용하여 ITO/glass위에 ZnO film에 농도에 따른 Ga을 doping 하여 전기전도성 향상과 밴드갭을 넓힘으로서 전자의 recombination을 방지하여 유기태양전지의 효율을 높이는데 목적을 두었다.

We have studied structural, optical, and electrical properties of the Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films being usable in transparent conducting oxides. The GZO thin films were deposited on the corning 1737 glass plate by the RF magnetron sputtering system. To find optimal properties of GZO for transparent conducting oxides, the Ar gas in sputtering process was varied as 40, 60, 80 and 100 sccm, respectively. As reaction gas decreased, the crystallinity of GZO thin film was increased, the optical bandgap of GZO thin film increased. The transmittance of the film was over 80% in the visible light range regardless of the changes in reaction gas. The measurement of Hall effect characterizes the whole thin film as n-type, and the electrical property was improved with decreasing reaction gas. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of the GZO thin films were affected by Ga dopant content in GZO thin film.

A novel non-alkoxide sol-gel process for synthesizing Ga-doped ZnO thin film on glass was derived for possible use as a transparent electrode in flat-panel displays, using zinc acetate dehydrate as the starting material. The structural and electrical properties of thin films have been characterized as functions of Ga addition and post-heat-treatments. Their carrier density, Hall mobility, and optical transmittance were measured and discussed herein to explain the characteristics of the sol-gel-derived Ga-doped ZnO thin film on glass.

We fabricated two different transparent conducting oxide thin films of ZnO doped with Ga ($Ga_2O_3$ 0.9 wt%) as well as Al ($Al_2O_3$ 2.1 wt%) (GAZO) and ZnO doped only with Al ($Al_2O_3$ 3 wt%) (AZO). It was investigated how it affects the moisture resistance of the transparent electrode. In addition, $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ thin film solar cells with two transparent oxides as front electrodes were fabricated, and the correlation between humidity resistance of transparent electrodes and device performance of solar cells was examined. When both transparent electrodes were exposed to high temperature distilled water, they showed a rapid increase in sheet resistance and a decrease in the fill factor of the solar cell. However, AZO showed a drastic decrease in efficiency at the beginning of exposure, while GAZO showed that the deterioration of efficiency occurred over a long period of time and that the long term moisture resistance of GAZO was better.
