The material that is both conductive in electricity and transparent to the visible ray is called transparent conducting thin film. It has many fields of application such as Solar Cell, Liquid Crystal display, Vidicon on T.V, transparent electrical heater, selective optical filter, and a optical electric device , etc. In the recent papers on several TCO( transparent conducting oxide ) material, the study is mainly focusing on ITO(indium tin oxide) because ITO shows good results on both optical and electrical properties. Nowaday, in the development of LCD(Liquid Crystal display), the low temperature process to reduce the production cost and to deposit ITO on polymer substrate (or low melting substrate) has been demanded. In this study, we prepared indium tin oxide(ITO) by a cylindrical DC magnetron sputtering with Indium-tin (9:1) alloy target instead of indium-tin oxide target. The resistivity of the film deposited in oxygen partial pressure of 5% and substrate temperature of 140.deg. C. is 1.6*10$\^$-4/.ohm..cm with 85% optical transmission in viaible ray.

The rapid thermal annealing effect of transparent IZTO(indium zinc oxide) and IAZO(indium alminium zinc oxide) films grown on glass substrate for solar cell or flat panel displays(FPDs) was studied. We prepared IZTO using RF magnetron sputtering and IAZO using DC co-sputtering method. Subsequently, using rapid thermal annealing(RTA) system, prepared IZTO and IAZO films were annealed at 300, 400, 500, $600^{\circ}C$ for 90sec. In addition, Electrical and optical characteristics were measured by Hall effect measurement and UV/Vis spectrometer examinations, respectively. To analyze structural properties and surface smoothness of the IZTO and IAZO films, XRD and SEM examinations were performed, respectively. It was shown that IZTO and IAZO films exhibited microcrystalline structure over $400^{\circ}C$ and amorphous structural regardless of RTA temperature, respectively.

ITO(Indium Tin Oxide) films for transparent electrodes of FPD(Flat Panel Display) were patterned in atmosphere using laser. A pulse type(repetition rate of 10 Hz) Q-switched Nd:YAG laser which can generate the fundamental wavelength at 1064 nm or its harmonics(532, 266 nm) was used for Patterning of the ITO film. In case of using the second harmonic(532 nm) of Nd:YAG laser, the ITO film(thickness of 20 nm) was removed clearly with a laser fluence of 5.2 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and a beam scan speed of 200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s. But the glass substrate was damaged when the laser fluence was over 5.2 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$. We discussed the etching mechanism of the ITO film using Nd:YAG laser with observation of the etching characteristics including a depths and widths of ITO films as a function of laser fluence using SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy) and surface profiler($\alpha$-step 500).

We investigated the influence of the indium content on the threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) shift of sol-gel-derived indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs). Surplus indium composition ratio into IGZO decreases the value of $V_{th}$ of IGZO TFTs showed huge $V_{th}$ shift in the negative direction. $V_{th}$ shift decreases from 10 to -28.2V as Indium composition ratio is increased. Because the free electron density is increased according to variation of the Indium composition ratio.

본 연구에서는 Indium-Tin-Oxide 인쇄 박막의 원격 검출이 가능한 해양오염 방제용 센서로서의 응용 가능성에 대해 연구하였다. 우선 양질의 박막제작을 위한 바인더 비율, Indium-Tin-Oxide 중 주석 농도, 열처리 온도 등의 Indium-Tin-Oxide 인쇄박막 제작 조건을 최적화시켰다. 이를 이용하여 전기저항형 액체 센서를 제작하였고, 센서 동작을 확인하기 위하여 대기 중과 해수 중에서 저항 변화를 확인하였다. 이때 저항 변화의 원인은 전해질 속에서 표면에서 일어나는 환원반응에 의한 것으로 해석하였다. 또한 제작된 센서를 Arduino를 사용하여 작동시키고 취득한 데이터의 원격 검출이 가능함을 확인하였다.

마이크론 크기를 가지는 ITO(indium tin oxide) 입자들은 인듐과 틴의 수용성 전구체들과 유기 첨가제를 분무 열분해하여 얻었다. 유기 첨가제로서는 에틸렌글리콜과 시트르산을 이용하였다. 분무 열분해 시 에틸렌글리콜과 시트르산과 같은 유기첨가제를 첨가하지 않고 얻어진 ITO 입자들은 구형이며 속이 꽉찬 형태를 가지는데 비해 유기 첨가제를 첨가하여 분무 열분해를 하면 얻어지는 ITO 입자들은 유기 첨가제의 양이 증가 할수록 껍질이 얇고 다공성이 증대된 중공 입자가 얻어진다. 유기첨가제를 첨가하지 않고 분무 열분해를 통해 얻어지는 마이크론 크기를 가지는 ITO는 $700^{\circ}C$에서 두 시간 동안의 후소성과 24 시간동안의 습식 볼밀링에 의해 나노 크기의 ITO로 전환되지 않으나, 유기첨가제를 첨가하고 분무 열분해를 통해 얻어지는 마이크론 크기를 가지는 ITO는 $700^{\circ}C$에서 두 시간 동안의 후소성과 24 시간 동안의 습식 볼밀링에 의해 나노 크기의 ITO로 쉽게 전환되었다. 응집된 나노 크기의 ITO의 일차 입자의 크기를 Debye-Scherrer 식에 의해 계산하였고 ITO 입자를 압축하여 만든 펠렛의 표면저항을 측정하였다.

Indium tin oxide(ITO) surface treated by Oxygen plasma has been in situ analyzed using XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and EDS(Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy), to investigate the relations between the properties of the ITO surface and the properties of OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode). We measured electrical resistivity using Four-Point-Probe and calculated sheet resistance, and ITO surface roughness was measured by AFM(Atomic Force Microscope). We fabricated OLED using substrate that was treated optimum ITO surface. The plasma treatment of the ITO surface lowered the operating voltage of the OLED. We have obtained an improvement of luminance and decrease of turn-on voltage.

The Indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited on CR39 substrate using DC magnetron sputtering. ITO thin films deposited at room temperature because CR39 substrates its glass-transition temperature of is $130^{\circ}C$.

We propose glass and PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) chips for DNA amplification with continuous-flow PCR (polymerase chain reaction). The PDMS microchannel was fabricated using a negative molding method for sample injection. Three heaters and sensors of ITO (indium-tin-oxide) thin films were fabricated on glass chip. ITO heaters and sensors were calibrated accurately for the temperature control of the liquid flow. ITO heater generated stable heat versus applied power. ITO sensor resistance was changed linearly versus temperature increase as a RTD (resistance temperature detector) sensor. As a result, we enable precision temperature control of continuous-flow PCR chip. Using the continuous-flow PCR chip DNA plasmid pKS-GFP 720 bp was successfully amplified.

We have developed an electrochemical immunosensor that combines the electrocatalytic property of carbon nanotube and the low background current of indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. A partial monolayer of carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotube (CCNT) is covalently formed on an ITO electrode modified with amine-terminated phosphonic acid. Nonspecifically adsorbed avidin on the hydrophobic sidewalls of CCNT is used to immobilize biotinylated antibody and to reduce the nonspecific binding to CCNT. The biotinylated antimouse IgG bound on avidin and the antimouse IgG conjugated with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) sandwiches a target mouse IgG. ALP catalyzes the conversion of p-aminophenyl phosphate monohydrate into p-aminophenol, which is electrocatalytically oxidized to p-quinone imine on CCNT surface. Moderate electrocatalytic electrode obtained with the combination of CCNT and ITO allows low detection limit (0.1 ng/ mL).
