Transparent amorphous In-Si-O (ISO)/Ag/In-Si-O (ISO) has been reported for low emissivity (low-e) applications. Effective Si doping into the $In_2O_3$ matrix led to a completely amorphous ISO film as well as a low resistivity and a high optical transmittance. The optical and electrical performances were examined by measuring transmittance with a UV-VIS spectrophotometer and resistivity with a Hall effect measurement. Consequently, low-e glass with ISO/Ag/ISO showed a high transparency in the visible region and low emissivity in the infrared region, indicating that ISO is a promising amorphous transparent electrode for low-e glass.

Low emissivity glass for high transparency in the visible range and low emissivity in the IR (infrared) range was fabricated and investigated. The multilayers were have been fabricated, and consisted of two outer oxide layers and a middle layer of Ag as a metal layer. Oxide layers were formed by rf sputtering and metal layers were formed using by an evaporator at room temperature. SiInZnO (SIZO) film was used as an oxide layer. The OMO (oxide-metaloxide) structures of SIZO/Ag/SIZO were analyzed by using transmittance, AFM (atomic force microscopye), and XRD (X-ray diffraction). The OMO multilayer structure was designed to investigate the effect of Ag layer thickness on the optical property of the OMO structure.

본 논문은 로이유리(Low emissivity glass) 표면에 증착되어 있는 금속박막의 전도 특성을 이용하여 발열유리(Heatable glass)를 제작하는 방법에 대해 제안한다. 로이유리의 발열량은 로이유리 표면저항에 의한 주울(Joule) 열에 의존하므로 소재의 표면저항을 측정함으로써 예측 및 설계가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 저방사층이 11nm인 소프트로이유리 시료에 각 50mm 간격으로 은(Ag) 전극을 형성시키고, 4단자법으로 면저항을 측정하여 로이유리의 소비전력과 발열량을 예측한 후에, 제작 및 실험을 통해 발열성능을 확인하였다. 기존의 발열유리 제작방법은 크게 두 가지로 일반유리(Normal glass)에 니크롬(Nichrome) 열선을 삽입하는 방법과, 일반유리에 전도성 투명박막을 증착하는 방법이 있다. 니크롬 열선 삽입 방식은 발열성능은 우수하나 유리 고유의 투명성을 저해하고, 전도성 투명박막을 증착하는 방법은 투명성은 양호하나 공정이 복잡하여 실용성이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 주로 건축물의 단열효과 향상을 위해 사용되는 로이유리를 이용하여 로이유리 전면에 코팅되어 있는 전도성 금속박막에 레이저 빔을 조사하여 원하는 발열성능을 가지는 발열유리를 제작하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 니크롬 열선을 삽입하는 방법에 비해 투명성이 양호하고, 전도성 투명박막을 증착하는 방법에 비해 제작과정이 보다 수월함을 확인하였다. 아울러, 레이저를 조사하여 로이유리의 표면 박막을 패터닝(Patterning) 하는 형태에 따른 발열특성의 비교와 로이유리에 적합한 레이저 출력조건을 제시하고자 한다.

By inserting a very thin metal layer of Ag between two outer oxide layers of amorphous silicon indium zinc oxide (SIZO), we fabricated a highly transparent SIZO/Ag/SIZO multilayer on a glass substrate. In order to find the optimized thickness of Ag layers, we investigated the variation of optical properties depending on Ag thickness. It was found that the transition of Ag layer from island formation to a continuous film occurred at a critical thickness. Continuity of the Ag film is very important for optical properties in SIZO/Ag/SIZO multilayer. With about 15 nm thick Ag layer, the multilayer showed a high optical transmittance of 80% at 550 nm and low emissivity in IR.

Vanadium dioxide ($VO_2$) is an attractive material for smart window applications where the transmittance of light can be automatically modulated from a transparent state to an opaque state at the critical temperature of ${\sim}68^{\circ}C$. Meanwhile, F : $SnO_2$ (F-doped $SnO_2$, FTO) glass is a transparent conductive oxide material that is widely used in solar-energy-related applications because of its excellent optical and electrical properties. Relatively high transmittance and low emissivity have been obtained for FTO-coated glasses. Tunable transmittance corresponding to ambient temperature and low emissivity can be expected from $VO_2$ films deposited onto FTO glasses. In this study, FTO glasses were applied for the deposition of $VO_2$ thin films by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering. $VO_2$ thin films were also deposited on a Pyrex substrate for comparison. To decrease the phase transition temperature of $VO_2$, tungsten-doped $VO_2$ films were also deposited onto FTO glasses. The visible transmittance of $VO_2$/FTO was higher than that of $VO_2$/pyrex due to the increased crystallinity of the $VO_2$ thin film deposited on FTO and decreased interface reflection. Although the solar transmittance modulation of $VO_2$/FTO was lower than that of $VO_2$/pyrex, room temperature solar transmittance of $VO_2$/FTO was lower than that of $VO_2$/pyrex, which is advantageous for reflecting solar heat energy in summer.

For low-emissivity application on window glass, coalescence of thin film silver islands is crucial for high transmittance in the visible and high reflectance in the infrared. It is well known that the underlayer affects the growth mode. In this work, the effect of the underlayer on the growth of silver films deposited by filtered cathodic vacuum arc is discussed. While a nominal 0.1 nm niobium underlayer has promoted the coalescence of silver islands, a 0.2 nm layer did not show these features. From a thermodynamic approach, Nb seeding less one monolayer is considered to reduce the surface energy between the silver atoms and $Nb/TiO_2$ surface, resulting the change of its growth from 3D islands to 2D-layer modes. If the seed layer exceeds one monolayer, however, a rougher surface is formed because the surface energy of Nb itself is superior to that of $Nb-TiO_2$. The onset of silver layer on the roughened Nb surface is required more silver.

Ag intermediated $TiO_2$ films were deposited by RF and DC magnetron sputtering and then vacuum annealed at 100, 200 and $300^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes to investigate the effect of annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of the films. For all depositions, the thickness of the $TiO_2$ and Ag films were kept constant at 24 and 15 nm by controlling the deposition time. As-deposited $TiO_2/Ag/TiO_2$ trilayer films have a weak crystalline and an optical reflectance in a near infrared wavelength region of 77.8%, while the films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ show the polycrystalline structure and an increased mean optical reflectance of 80.4%. From the experimental results, it can be concluded that increasing the annealing temperature enhanced the structural and optical properties of the $TiO_2/Ag/TiO_2$ films.

Transparent conducting films having a three layered structure of ZnO/Cu/ZnO (ZCZ) were deposited onto the glass substrates by using RF and DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The emissivity and opto-electrical properties of the films were investigated with a varying thickness(5, 10, 15 nm) of the Cu interlayer. With increasing the Cu thickness to 15 nm, the films showed a enhanced electrical properties. Although ZnO 30/Cu 15/ZnO 30 nm film shows a lower resistivity of 5.2×10^-5 Ωcm, it's visible transmittance is deteriorated by increased optical absorbtion of the films. In addition, X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that the insertion of Cu interlayer improve the grain size of ZnO films, which is favor for the electrical and optical properties of transparent conducting films. From the observed low emissivity of the films, it is concluded that the ZCZ thin films with optimal thickness of Cu interlayer can be applied effectively for the car's window coating materials.

디스플레이 기기에 사용할 수 있는 전도성 투과필터를 저방출(low-emissivity) 코팅인 [유전체|Ag|유전체] 구조를 이용하여 설계하였다. [$TiO_{2}$|Ti|Ag|$TiO_{2}$] 구조를 반복하고 어드미턴스 방법을 이용하여 가시광선 영역의 투과율을 높이고, 근적외선의 투과율은 낮게 하였다. 전도성 투과필터를 radio frequency(RF) 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 증착하고 설계한 스펙트럼과 비교하였으며, 필터의 광학적, 구조적, 전기적 특성들을 조사하였다. Ag 박막의 두께는 전기전도성을 높이기 위해 13㎚ 이상으로 증착하고, $TiO_{2}$박막은 가시광선 영역에서 투과율이 최대가 되는 24㎚로 증착하였다. 또한 Ag 박막의 산화를 막기 위해 매우 얇은 Ti 산화방지막을 증착하였으며, 다층구조로 갈수록 산화방지막의 두께를 더 두껍게 증착해야 하는 것을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 [$TiO_{2}$|Ti|Ag|$TiO_{2}$] 기본구조를 3번 반복하여 증착한 필터는 근적외선 차단 효과가 우수하고, 전자파 장해(electromagnetic interference; EMI)를 효과적으로 방지할 수 있는 2Ω/□ 이하의 낮은 면저항을 보였다.
