ITO (indium tin oxide)는 스마트폰을 비롯한 여러전자제품의 터치패널 투명전극으로 가장 많이 쓰이고 있는 물질이다. 산화 인듐(In2O3)과 산화 주석(SnO2)의 화합물로 우수한 전기적 특성과 광학적 특성을 지녀 태양전지 분야에서도 그 활용가능성이 높다. 또한 최근 고효율 태양전지인 HIT (heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer) solar cell의 경우 Si 기판의 두께가 얇고, 소자의 양면에서 태양광을 흡수하여 효율을 증가 시키데, 특히 투명 전극의 물리적 특성들과 계면의 트랩의 상태가 효율에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 HIT Si 기판의 태양전지 구조에 전극으로 쓰일 ITO 박막을 sputtering 방법으로 증착하여 물리적 특성을 연구하였다. ITO 타겟을 활용한 radio frequency magnetron sputtering 방법으로 Si 기판에 ITO 박막을 증착하였다. 50W의 방전전력과 Ar 10 sccm 분위기에서 성장시킨 ITO 박막을 Transmission Electron Microscope 로 측정하였다. X-ray Diffraction 측정으로 ITO 결정의 방향성을 확인하고 Photoluminescence 측정으로 성장된 ITO 박막의 밴드갭 에너지를 확인하였다. $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$에서 후열처리한박막의 광 투과율, 비저항, 이동도를 측정 비교하여 적절한 후열처리 온도를 찾는 연구를 진행하였다. Sputtering 방법으로 성장시킨 ITO 박막의 전기적, 광학적 특성을 측정하여 HIT solar cell에 활용될 가능성을 확인하였다.

In this study, we introduce indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films grown by using a low-frequency magnetron sputtering method (LFMSM). Characteristics of the ITO thin films deposited on polyethersulfone (PES) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates are investigated. Experiments were carried out as a function of deposition time. ITO thin films on polymer substrates revealed amorphous structure. The optical, the electrical and structural properties of the films on PES substrate are better than those on PET substrates.

AThe effect of localized surface plasmon on silicon substrates was studied using silver nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were formed by self-arrangement through the surface energy using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) technique after the thin nanolayer of silver was deposited by thermal evaporation. By the theoretical calculation based on Mie scattering and dielectric function of air, indium tin oxide (ITO), and silver, the strong peak of scattering cross section of silver nanoparticles was found at 358 nm for air, and 460 nm for ITO, respectively. Accordingly, the strong suppression of reflectance under the condition of induced light of $30^{\circ}$ occurred at the specific wavelength which is almost in accordance with peak of scattering cross section. When the external quantum efficiency was measured using silicon solar cells with silver nanoparticles, there was small enhancement peak near the 460 nm wavelength in which the light was resonated between silver nanoparticles and ITO.

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.

Display quality depends on panel temperatures. To compensate it, temperature sensor was integrated on the panel. The conventional temperature sensor integrated on the panel needs external reference resistor. Since the resistance of external resistor can vary according to the variation of the environment temperature, the conventional temperature sensor can make error in temperature sensing. The environmental temperatures can change by the back light unit, driving circuits or chips. In this paper, we proposed a integrated temperature sensor on display panel which does not need external reference resister. Instead of external reference resistor, we used two materials which have different temperature coefficient in resistivity. They are connected serially and the output voltage was measured at the point of connection with the applied voltage to both ends. The proposed sensor was fabricated with indium tin oxide(ITO), and Mo metal electrode temperature sensor which were connected serially. We verified the temperature senor by the measurements of sensitivity, lineality, hysteresis, repeatability, stability, and accuracy.

Recently, research on a flat panel display(FPD) has focused on organic light-emitting display(OLED) which has wide angle of view, high contrast ratio and low power consumption. ITO(Indium-Tin-Oxide) films are the most widely used material as a transparent electrode of OLED and also in many other display devices like LCD or PDP. The performance and efficiency of OLED is related to the surface condition of ITO coated glass substrate. The typical surface defect of glass substrate is measured for electric characteristics and physical condition for transmittance and roughness. Since ITO coated glass substrate can be destroyed for inspection about surface roughness, sheet resistance, film thickness and transmittance, precise fabrication condition should be made based on the estimated relationship. In this paper, ITO films were prepared on the commercial glass substrate by the Ion-Plating method changing the partial pressure of gas(Ar, 02) and the chamber temperature between $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$. The characteristics of films were examined by the 4-point probe, supersonic thickness measurement, transmittance measurement and AFM. We estimated the relationship between processing parameters(Ar gas, O2 gas, Temperature) and properties of ITO films (Sheet Resistance, Film Thickness, Transmittance, Surface Roughness).

The thin film of indium tin oxide (ITO) was prepared using the inclination opposite target type DC magnetron sputtering equipment onto the glass substrate at room temperature, using oxidized ITO with In2O3 and SnO2in a weight ratio of 9:1. The elastic modulus and hardness of the ITO thin films, prepared at different deposition conditions, were determined through anano-indentation experiment. The work pressure was varied from $2.6{\times}10-1\;to\;8.3{\times}10-1Pa$. The results show that the variation of work pressure during film deposition could vary significantly, according to the elastic modulus and hardness of the ITO thin films. It also can be seen that a minimum value exists in the film resistivity for the ITO thin films, prepared according to the variation of work pressure. However, the ITO film produced at room temperature had a microstructure in which a X ray diffraction peak is not clear, regardless of the work pressure.

Indium tin oxide (ITO), which is used as an electrode in organic thin film transistors (OTFT), was modified with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) by wet chemical surface modification. The surface of the ITO was treated by dipping method in a solution of 2-chloroethane phosphonic acid (2-CEPA) at room temperature. The work function in the ITO which was modified with the SAM in the 2-CEPA had 5.43eV. A surface energy and a transmittance were unchanged in an error range. On this study, therefore, possibility of ohmic contact is showed in the interface between the ITO and the organic semiconductors. These results suggest that the treatment of the ITO with the SAM can greatly enhance the performance of the OTFT.

On the piezoelectric polymer, PVDF (poly vinylidene fluoride), the transparent conducting oxide (TCO) electrode material thin film was deposited by roll to roll sputtering process mentioned as a mass product-friendly process for display application. The deposition method for ITO Indium Tin Oxides) as our TCO was DC magnetron sputtering optimized for polymer substrate with the low process temperature. As a result, a high transparent and good conductive ITO/PVDF film was prepared. During the process, especially, the gas mixture ratio of Ar and Oxygen was concluded as an important factor for determining the film's physical properties. There were the optimum ranges for process conditions of mixture gas ratio for ITO/PVDF From these results, the doping mechanism between the oxygen atom and the metal element, Indium or Tin was highly influenced by oxygen partial pressure condition during the deposition process at ambient temperature, which gives the conductivity to oxide electrode, as generally accepted. With our studies, the process windows of TCO for display and other application can be expected.
