  • We studied indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO) film grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as transparent conductive oxide (TCO). A variety of TCO layer, such as ZnO:Al (AZO), InSnO2(ITO), Zn (O,S) etc, has been grown by various method, such as ALD, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sputtering, laser ablation, sol-gel technique, etc. Among many deposition methods, ALD has various advantages such as uniformity of film thickness, film composition, conformality, and low temperature deposition, as compared with other techniques. In this study, we deposited indium-doped zinc oxide thin films using diethyl[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]indium [Et2InN(TMS)2] as indium precursor, DEZn as zinc precursor and H2O as oxidant for ALD and investigated the optical and electrical properties of IZO films. As an alternative, this liquid In precursor would has several advantages in indium oxide thin-film processes by ALD, especially for low resistance indium oxide thin film and high deposition rate as compared to InCp, InCl3, TMIn precursors etc. We found out that Indium oxide films grown by Et2InN(TMS)2 and H2O precursor show ALD growth mode and ALD growth window. We also found out the different growth rate of Indium oxide as the substrate and investigated the effect of the substrate on Indium oxide growth.

  • Copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) 기반 박막 태양전지는 저렴한 제작 단가 및 다른 박막 태양전지에 비해 높은 효율을 보여 실리콘 기반 태양전지의 차세대 태양전지로 각광을 받고 있다. 구성 요소 중 buffer 층은 window 층과 absorber 층 사이의 높은 밴드 갭(band gap)을 해소 해주는 역할을 한다. 기존의 cadmium sulfide(CdS)의 인체 유해성 때문에 이를 대신할 indium sulfide(In2S3)를 이용한 buffer 층의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전기화학적인 방법을 통해 값싸고 간편하게 indium sulfide buffer 층을 전극 표면에 합성하는 연구를 진행하였다. Indium-Tin-Oxide(ITO) 전극표면을 sodium thiosulfate 및 indium sulfate의 혼합물 용액에 담그고 환원 전위를 인가하여 indium sulfide를 합성하였다. 크기가 다른 두 전압을 교대로 인가하여 확산 한계(diffusion limit)를 최소화 함으로써 표면에 균일한 조성을 가지는 buffer 층을 합성해 낼 수 있었다. 또한 합성 중 온도의 조절을 통해 buffer 층의 밴드 갭을 최적화 할 수 있었다. 이렇게 전기화학적으로 합성된 buffer 층은 X-선 광전자 분광법과 회절법의 분석을 통해 ${\beta}$-indium sulfide 결정구조를 가짐을 확인 하였다.

  • ITO glass 제조공정에서 발생되는 인듐스크랩으로부터 인듐옥살산염의 제조에서 유기산의 영향을 연구하였다. 유기산의 종류, 농도 그리고 반응액의 pH, 온도, 시간 등을 변화시키면서 인듐옥살산염 제조에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 불순물 제거 효율은 구연산 및 옥살산 모두 비슷하였으나 구연산은 인듐과 유기산염을 형성하지 못하였다. 인듐옥살산염 제조의 최적 조건은 옥살산 농도 1.5M, pH 7, 반응온도 $80^{\circ}C$, 반응시간 6시간이었다. 한편, pH가 증가하면 회수율은 증가하지만, 순도는 감소하였다. 2회 반복으로 제조된 인듐옥살산염의 순도는 99.995% (4N5)를 나타내었다. 인듐옥살산염은 치환반응, 소성 등에 의해 인듐금속 및 인듐산화물 등으로 전환할 수 있다.

  • For the channel doping of shallow junction and retrograde well formation in CMOS, indium can be implanted in silicon. The retrograde doping profiles can serve the needs of channel engineering in deep MOS devices for punch-through suppression and threshold voltage control. Indium is heavier element than B, $BF_2$ and Ga ions. It also has low coefficient of diffusion at high temperatures. Indium ions can be cause the erode of wafer surface during the implantation process due to sputtering. For the ultra shallow junction, indium ions can be implanted for p-doping in silicon. UT-MARLOWE and SRIM as Monte carlo ion-implant models have been developed for indium implantation into single crystal and amorphous silicon, respectively. An analytical tool was used to carry out for the annealing process from the extracted simulation data. For the 1D (one-dimensional) and 2D (two-dimensional) diffused profiles, the analytical model is also developed a simulation program with $C^{{+}{+}}$ code. It is very useful to simulate the indium profiles in implanted and annealed silicon autonomously. The fundamental ion-solid interactions and sputtering effects of ion implantation are discussed and explained using SRIM and T-dyn programs. The exact control of indium doping profiles can be suggested as a future technology for the extreme shallow junction in the fabrication process of integrated circuits.

  • Objectives: The use of indium compounds, especially those of small size, for the production of semiconductors, liquid-crystal panels, etc., has increased recently. However, the role of particle size or the chemical composition of indium compounds in their toxicity and distribution in the body has not been sufficiently investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of particle size and the chemical composition of indium compounds on their toxicity and distribution. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to two different-sized indium oxides (average particle sizes under 4,000 nm [IO_4000] and 100 nm [IO_100]) and one nano-sized indium-tin oxide (ITO; average particle size less than 50 nm) by inhalation for 6 hr daily, 5 days per week, for 4 weeks at approximately $1mg/m^3$ of indium by mass concentration. Results: We observed differences in lung weights and histopathological findings, differential cell counts, and cell damage indicators in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid between the normal control group and IO- or ITO-exposed groups. However, only ITO affected respiratory functions in exposed rats. Overall, the toxicity of ITO was much higher than that of IOs; the toxicity of IO_4000 was higher than that of IO_100. A 4-week recovery period was not sufficient to alleviate the toxic effects of IO and ITO exposure. Inhaled indium was mainly deposited in the lungs. ITO in the lungs was removed more slowly than IOs; IO_4000 was removed faster than IO_100. IOs were not distributed to other organs (i.e., the brain, liver, and spleen), whereas ITO was. Concentrations of indium in the blood and organ tissues were higher at 4 weeks after exposure. Conclusions: The effect of particle size on the toxicity of indium compounds was not clear, whereas chemical composition clearly affected toxicity; ITO showed much higher toxicity than that of IO.

  • Indium-doped Mg0.05Zn0.95O thin films were deposited on glass substrates by a sol-gel method. Three types of indium precursors such as indium chloride, indium acetate, and indium nitrate were used as doping sources. Physical properties of fabricated thin films were analyzed through XRD (x-ray diffraction), UV-vis spectrophotometer, Hall effect measurement, and EDS (energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy). All In-doped thin films grown in this study exhibited a preferred orientation of (002) with over 80% transmittance. The results showed that the Mg0.05Zn0.95O thin film from indium chloride as the indium precursor has higher crystallinity and transmittance with lower resistivity when compared with those from other indium precursors.

  • Although indium (In) is not an abundant element, the use of indium is expected to grow, especially as applied to copper-indium-(gallium)-selenide (CI(G)S) solar cells. In future when CIGS solar cells will be used extensively, the available amount of indium could be a limiting factor, unless a synthetic technique of efficiently utilizing the element is developed. Current vacuum techniques inherently produce a significant loss of In during the synthetic process, while electrodeposition exploits nearly 100% of the In, with little loss of the material. Thus, an electrochemical process will be the method of choice to produce alloys of In once the proper conditions are designed. In this review, we examine the electrochemical processes of electrodeposition in the synthesis of indium alloys. We focus on the conditions under which alloys are electrodeposited and on the factors that can affect the composition or properties of alloys. The knowledge is to facilitate the development of electrochemical means of efficiently using this relatively rare element to synthesize valuable materials, for applications such as solar cells and light-emitting devices.

  • We developed a new systematic calibration procedure and applied it to the calibration of the diffusivity, segregation and TED model of the indium impurity. The TED of the indium impurity was studied under 4 different experimental conditions. Although the indium proved to be susceptible to the TED, the RTA was effective in suppressing the TED effect and in maintaining a steep retrograde profile. Just as in the case of boron, indium demonstrated significant oxidation-enhanced diffusion in silicon and its segregation coefficients at the Si/SiO₂ interface were significantly below 1. In contrast, the segregation coefficient of indium decreased as the temperature increased. The accuracy of the proposed technique has been validated by SIMS data and 0.13-㎛ device characteristics such as Vth and Idsat with errors less than 5% between simulation and experiment.

  • We developed a new systematic calibration procedure which was applied to the calibration of the diffusivity, segregation and TED model of the indium impurity. The TED of the indium impurity has been studied using 4 different groups of experimental conditions. Although the indium is susceptible to the TED, the RTA is effective to suppress the TED effect and maintain a steep retrograde profile. Like the boron, the indium shows significant oxidationenhanced diffusion in silicon and has segregation coefficients at the $Si/SiO_2$ interface much less than 1. In contrast, however, the segregation coefficient of indium decreases as the temperature increases. The accuracy of the proposed technique is validated by SIMS data and $0.13 {\mu}m$ device characteristics such as $V_{th}$ and $Id_{sat}$ with errors less than $5 \%$ between simulation and experiment.
