  • Stainless Steel의 유연한 기판을 사용하여 ZnO:Al/Ag의 후면전극에서 Ag 증착 실험조건 변화를 통해서 light trapping을 개선한 n-i-p 구조의 플렉서블 미세결정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지를 제작하였다. 실험 방법으로 마그네트론 스퍼터를 사용하여 Stainless Steel 기판 위에 ZnO:Al/Ag를 증착하여 후면전극으로 사용되는 back reflector를 제작하였으며 그 위에 미세결정질 실리콘 박막을 증착하였다. Back reflector에서 Ag 박막의 증착 온도가 증가할수록 표면결정 성장으로 roughness가 증가하여 반사도를 증가하였다. 또한, Ag 박막 증착 두께와 압력 변화에 따른 광학적 특성변화를 Atomic Force Microscope(AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM),UV-visible-nIR spectrometry로 조사하여 최적의 조건을 찾았으며 개선된 back reflector의 특성이 n-i-p 구조의 플렉서블 미세결정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지에 적용하여 light trapping의 증가가 태양전지에서 광학적인 특성 변화 및 효율 향상에 영향을 주는지 Photo IV와 EQE(External Quantum Efficiency)를 통하여 조사하였다.

  • Pt/Ti/Si 기판 위에 성장시킨 박막 전지용 비정질 산화 바나듐 박막에 고상 전해질 박막 LiPON을 이용하여 전고상형 박막전지를 제작하여 충-방전 시험을 시행하였다. 이렇게 제작된 전고상형 박막전지는 500 사이클 이상까지 평균 15$\mu$Ah의 방전용량을 나타내었으나 초기 사이클 영역부터 방전 용량의 감소가 일어나기 시작했다. 박막 전지의 방전 용량 감소에 따른 비정질 산화 바나듐 박막의 구조적 특성 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 고분해능 현미경 분석을 시행하였다. 충-방전을 하지 않은 초기의 산화 바나듐 박막은 입계를 갖지 않고 다결정 특성을 보이지 않는 완전한 비정질 특성을 보였고 이는 TED 결과와 일치하였다. 그러나 450번의 반복적인 충-방전을 시행한 후의 비정질 산화 바나듐 박막 내에는 microcrystalline 형태의 산화 바나듐의 형성됨을 고분해능 전자 현미경 분석을 통해 발견할 수 있었다. 비정질 산화바나듐 박막의 방전 용량 감소의 원인인 Li의 비가역적 탈-삽입은 비정질 내에 형성된 microcrystalline에 의해 유발된다고 사료된다. 또한 LiPON 전해질 박막과 산화 바나듐 박막사이의 계면에 Li 이온과 산화바나듐과의 반응에 의해 형성된 계면 층에 발견할 수 있었는데 이러한 계면 층 역시 Li 확산과 계면 저항에 영향을 주어 방전 용량 감소에 원인으로 작용한다.

  • The microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was prepared from oil palm biomass, empty fruit bunch (EFB) for increasing the usability of EFB. The morphological, physical and chemical properties of MCC made from EFB were evaluated by comparing with those of the commercial MCC obtained from AVICEL. The EFB-MCC had the wider distribution in particle size and there were many small particles around $10{\mu}m$. There were no significant differences in the cellulose crytallinity and the chemical composition between EFB-MCC and AVICEL-MCC. The properties of tablet samples made by the common direct compression process were evaluated depending on the types of MCC and the compression pressure during tablet making process. The tablet made of EFB MCC showed the higher compressed structure, which resulted in the less disintegration by the water soaking treatment than those made of Avicel-MCC. The results of this study showed that the EFB-MCC could be utilized as one of the commercial MCC.

  • PECVD(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) 방법을 이용하여 비정질 고 상 탄소 박막의 하나인 유사 다이아몬드(Diamond-Like-Carbon; DLC) 박막을 증착하였다. FT-IR Spectroscopy와 Raman Scattering 등을 통해 박막의 구조적 특징을 조사하였는데, 박막은 microcrystalline diamond domain과 graphitelike carbon domain들이 수소화된 $sp^3$사 면체 구조의 비정질 탄소에 의해 그물 구조로 연결되어진 것으로 보인다. 이러한 추정은 I-V 특성 조사의 결과와도 좋은 일치를 보이는데, 특히 I-V조사에서는 전류의 갑작스러운 증가가 관측되어졌으며 이것은 graphitelike carbon domin들간의 전자 tunneling 현상으로 이해되어진다. 그리고 대단히 얇은 탄소 박막에 대한 Raman산란 조사에서는 증착 초기 상 태에 $\beta$-SiC층이 형성되어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Microcrystalline Si (${\mu}c-Si$) TFTs were fabricated using a conventional bottom gate amorphous Si (a-Si) process. A unique ${\mu}c-Si$ deposition technique and TFT architecture was proposed to enhance the reliability of the TFTs. This three-mask TFT fabrication process is comparable with existing a-Si TFT procesess. In order to suppress nucleation at the bottom interface of Si, before deposition of the ${\mu}c-Si$ an $N_2$ plasma passivation was conducted. A typical transfer characteristic of the TFTs shows a low off-current with a value of less than 1 pA and a sub threshold slop of 0.7 V/dec. The DC stress was applied to verify the use of ${\mu}c-Si$ TFTs for AMOLED displays. After 10,000 s of application of the stress, the off-current was even lowered and sub-threshold slope variation was less than 5%. For AMOLED displays, OLED pixel simulation was performed. A pixel current of 13 ${\mu}A$ was achieved with $V_{data}$ of 10 V. After the simulation, a linear equation for the pixel current was suggested.

  • Various fluoride films on a glass substrate were prepared and characterized in order to determine the best seed layer for a microcrystalline silicon (${\mu}c$-Si) film growth. Among the various group-IIA-fluoride systems, the $CaF_2$films on glass substrates illustrated (220) preferential orientation and a lattice mismatch of less than 0.7% with Si. $CaF_2$ films exhibited a dielectric constant between $4.1{\sim}5.2$ and an interface trap density ($D_{it}$ as low as $1.8{\times}10^{11}\;cm^{-2}eV^1$. Using the $CaF_2$/glass structure, we were able to achieve an improved ${\mu}c$-Si film at a process temperature of 300 $^{\circ}C$. We have achieved the ${\mu}c$-Si films with a crystalline volume fraction of 65%, a grain size of 700 ${\AA}$, and an activation energy of 0.49 eV.

  • The researches on the silicon-based thin films are being actively carried out. The silicon-based thin films can be made as amorphous, microcrystalline and mixed phase and it is known that the optical bandgap can be controlled accordingly. They are suitable materials for the fabrication of single junction, tandem and triple junction solar cells. It can be used as a doping layer through the bonding of boron and phosphorus. The carbon and oxygen can bond with silicon to form a wide range of optical gap. Also, The optical gap of hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium can be lower than that of silicon. By controlling the optical gaps, it is possible to fabricate multi-junction thin film silicon solar cells with high efficiencies which can be promising photovoltaic devices.

  • This paper presents deposition and characterizations of microcrystalline silicon ($\mu$ c-Si:H) films prepared by hot wire chemical vapor deposition at substrate temperature at 300$^{\circ}C$. The flow rates of $SiH_4$ gas are critical parameter for the formation of Si films with microcrystalline phase. We could obtain $\mu$ c-Si:H with columnar grain structure and volume fraction of 75% without H2 dilution. The electronic properties, hydrogen bonding configurations, and $H_2$ concentration inside the films are also strongly affected by $SiH_4$ flow rate, which is provided in this paper.

  • We have investigated the Pt doping effect on structural and electrochemical properties of amorphous vanadium oxide film, grown by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Room temperature charge-discharge measurements based on a half-cell with a constant current clearly indicated that the Pt doping could improve the cyclibility of V$_2$O$_{5}$ cathode film. Using glancing angle x-ray diffraction (GXRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis, we found that the Pt doping with l0W r.f. power induce more random amorphous structure than undoped V$_2$O$_{5}$ film. As the r.f. power of Pt increases, large amount of Pt incorporates into amorphous V$_2$O$_{5}$ and makes PtOx microcrystalline phase in amorphous matrix. This result suggests that the semicondcuting PtOx microcrystalline phase in amorphous matrix lead to a drastically faded cyclibility of 50W Pt doped V$_2$O$_{5}$ cathode film. Possible explanations are given to describe the Pt doping effect on cyclibility of vanadium oxide cathode film.de film.

  • To test the metal ion effect, hydrolysis experiments for two cellobiohydrolases (CBHⅠ and CBH Ⅱ) from Trichoderma reesei have been carried out in the presence of 10 mM metal ions, such as Cu++, Mn++, Ca++, Hg++, Ba++, Pb++, and Cd++. The addition of Mn++, Ba++, and Ca++(10 mM) during the hydrolysis of Avicel PH 101 caused an increase in the total reducing sugar (TRS) for CBH Ⅰ by 142, 135, and 114 percent, respectively. Those for CBH Ⅱ increased by 177, 175, and 115 percent, respectively. The Mn++ was the most stimulatory metal ion, whereas Hg++ was the most inhibitory metal ion. The adsorption experiments were performed to investigate how the influence of Mn++ and Hg++ on the hydrolysis is related to the adsorption of cellobiohydrolases on cellulose. The increase in TRS during hydrolysis by adding Mn++ caused an increase in adsorption affinity (Kad) and tightness (ΔHa). While, the decrease of TRS during hydrolysis by adding Hg++ caused a decrease in the adsorption affinity (Kad) and tightness (ΔHa). These results indicate the changes in the tightness and affinity of adsorption by adding metal ions play a crucial role in the degradation of the microcrystalline cellulose.
