현재까지 개발된 투명전극재료 중에는 ITO가 가장 투명하면서 전기도 잘 통하고 생산성도 좋다. 투명전극은 비저항이 $1{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}/cm$이하, 면저항이 $10^3{\Omega}/sq$이하로 전기전도성이 우수하고 380에서 780nm의 가시광선 영역에서의 투과율이 80%이상이라는 두 가지 성질을 만족시키는 박막이다. 본 연구에서는 스퍼터링 진공 증착 장치를 이용하여 투명 도전막(ITO: Indium Tin Oxide)을 제작하고 제작된 ITO 박막의 광 및 전기 그리고 물성적 특성을 조사하여 최상의 공정 조건을 확립하였다. 본 실험에서는 $In_2O_3:SnO_2$ 의 조성비는 90:10 wt% 인 타겟의 특성이 우수하였고, Ar:$O_2$의 분압비는 100:1 및 42:8의 조건이 적당하였으며, 온도는 $200^{\circ}C$ 가장 우수한 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제작한 박막은 광 투과도가 90% 이상, 비저항이 $300\;{\mu}{\Omega}cm$ 이하의 특성을 갖게되어 이미지센서, 태양전지, 액정 텔레비젼등 빛의 통과와 전도성등 두가지 특성에 동시에 만족 될만한 성능을 가질 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Compared to conventional Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) film deposition methods, cesium (Cs) assisted sputtering offers higher film characteristics in terms of electrical, mechanical and optical properties. However, it showed highly non-linear characteristics between process input factors and equipment responses. Therefore, to maximize film quality, optimization of manufacturing process is essential and process characterization is the first step for process optimization. For this, we designed 2 level design of experiment (DOE) to analyze ITO film characteristics including film thickness, resistivity and transmittance. DC power, pressure, carrier flow, Cs temperature and substrate temperature were selected for process input variables. Through statistical effect analysis methods, relation between three types of ITO film characteristics and five kinds of process inputs are successfully characterized and eventually, it can be used to optimize Cs assisted sputtering processes for various types of film deposition.

Sol-gel법에 의해 친수성 투명 $TiO_2$ 박막이 제조되었고, 박막의 접촉각, 표면구조, 투과율의 특성이 측정되었다. 더욱이 박막의 친수 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 계면활성제 tween 80이 이용되었다. Tween 80의 첨가량이 0, 10, 30, 50wt%일 때, 제조된 박막의 접촉각은 각각 $41.4^{\circ}$, $18.2^{\circ}$, $16.0^{\circ}$, $13.2^{\circ}$로 확인되었다. 제조된 $TiO_2$ 박막은 자외선 조사 후 Methylene blue용액을 분해시켜 흡광도를 감소시키는 광촉매 특성을 보여주었다. 일반유리(bare glass), Antimony Tin Oxide(ATO)코팅 유리, Fluorine Tin Oxide(FTO)코팅유리, Indium Tin Oxide(ITO)코팅유리 기판 위 에 Tween 80을 30 wt% 함유한 $TiO_2$ 용액을 적층하여 박막의 접촉각과 투과율을 측정하였다. 다양한 기판에 제조된 박막은 $16.2\sim27.1^{\circ}$의 표면 접촉각을 나타냈으며 자외선 조사 후에는 접촉각이 $13.2\sim17.6^{\circ}$로 낮아졌다. 특히 ATO코팅유리와 FTO 코팅유리 기판 위에 코팅된 필름은 가시광선 영역에서 각각 74.6%, 76.8%의 높은 투과율을 나타내었고, 적외선 영역에서는 각각 54.2%, 40.4%의 낮은 투과율을 나타냈다.

Thin-film transistors (TFT) have become the key components of electronic and optoelectronic devices. Most conventional thin-film field-effect transistors in display applications use an amorphous or polycrystal Si:H layer as the channel. This silicon layers are opaque in the visible range and severely restrict the amount of light detected by the observer due to its bandgap energy smaller than the visible light. Therefore, Si:H TFT devices reduce the efficiency of light transmittance and brightness. One method to increase the efficiency is to use the transparent oxides for the channel, electrode, and gate insulator. The development of transparent oxides for the components of thin-film field-effect transistors and the room-temperature fabrication with low voltage operations of the devices can offer the flexibility in designing the devices and contribute to the progress of next generation display technologies based on transparent displays and flexible displays. In this thesis, I report on the dc performance of transparent thin-film transistors using amorphous indium tin zinc oxides for an active layer. $SiO_2$ was employed as the gate dielectric oxide. The amorphous indium tin zinc oxides were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. The carrier concentration of amorphous indium tin zinc oxides was controlled by oxygen pressure in the sputtering ambient. Devices are realized that display a threshold voltage of 4.17V and an on/off ration of ${\sim}10^9$ operated as an n-type enhancement mode with saturation mobility with $15.8\;cm^2/Vs$. In conclusion, the fabrication and characterization of thin-film transistors using amorphous indium tin zinc oxides for an active layer were reported. The devices were fabricated at room temperature by RF magnetron sputtering. The operation of the devices was an n-type enhancement mode with good saturation characteristics.

A Q-switched diode-pumped neodymium-doped yttrium vanadate (YVO₄, λ =1064nm) laser was used for the direct patterning of indium tin oxide (ITO) films on glass substrate. During the laser direct patterning, the laser beam was incident on the two different directions of glass substrate and the laser ablated patterns were compared and analyzed. At a low scanning speed of laser beam, the larger laser etched lines were obtained by laser beam incident in reverse side of glass substrate. On the contrary, at a higher scanning speed, the larger etched pattern sizes were found in case of the beam incidence from front side of glass substrate. Furthermore, it was impossible to find no ablated patterns in some laser beam conditions for the laser beam from reverse side at a much higher scanning speed and repetition rate of laser beam. The laser beam is expected to be transferred and scattered through the glass substrate and the laser beam energy is thought to be also dispersed and much more influenced by the overlapping of each laser beam spot.

Transparent conducting oxide (TCO) films are widely used as transparent conducting thin film material for application in various fields such as solar cells, optoelectronic devices, heat mirrors and gas sensors, etc. Recently the increased utilization of many transparent electrodes has accelerated the development of inexpensive TCO materials. Indium tin oxide (ITO) film is well-known for TCO materials because of its low resistivity, but there is disadvantage that it is too expensive. ZnO film is cheaper than ITO but it shows thermally poor stability. On the contrary, antimony-doped tin oxide films (ATO) are more stable than TCO films such as Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) and ITO. Moreover, SnO2 film shows the best thermal and chemical stability, low cost and mechanical durability except the poor conductivity. However, annealing is proved to improve the conductivity of ATO film. Therefore, in this work, antimony (6 wt%) doped tin oxide films to improve the conductivity were deposited on 7059 corning glass by RF magnetron sputtering method for the application to transparent electrodes. In general, of all TCO films, glass is the most commonly selected substrate. However, for future development in flexible devices, glass is limited by its intrinsic inflexibility. In this study, we report the growth and properties of antimony doped tin oxide (ATO) films deposited on PES flexible substrate by using RF magnetron sputtering. The optimization process was performed varying the sputtering parameters, such as RF power and working pressure, and parameter effect on the structural, electrical and optical properties of the ATO films were investigated.

투명차폐재를 목적으로 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) 투광성 박막을 제조하고 전자파 차폐특성에 대해 조사하였다. 박막은 RF magnetron co-sputtering 증착장비를 사용하여 제작하였다. RF 인가전력, Ar 및 $O_2$분압, 기판온도를 변화시키며 전기전도도와 투광성을 겸비한 박막의 조성과 구조에 관한 실험을 진행하였다. 최적의 증착조건은 $300^{\circ}C$의 기판온도, 20sccm의 아르곤 유량, 10sccm의 산소유량, 그리고 In과 Sn의 인가전력이 각각 50W와 30W일 경우였으며, 이때 얻어진 박막은 육안으로 분명할 정도의 투광성을 보였고 5.6$\times10^4$mho/m의 높은 전기전도도를 나타내었다. 이렇게 제조된 ITO 박막의 전자파 차폐효과를 차폐이론에 의해 분석하였다. 박막의 전기전도도, 두께, skin depth로부터 차폐기구(흡수손실, 반사손실, 다중반사 보정항)에 대해 고찰하였다. 계산된 차폐효과는 26dB의 값을 보여 투광성 차폐재로 ITO 박막의 사용 가능성을 제시할 수 있었다.
