In this study, we have investigated the structural and electrical characteristics of IZO thin films deposited under hydrogen atmosphere on flexible substrate for the OLED (organic light emitting diodes) devices. For this purpose, PES was used for flexible substrate and IZO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering under hydrogen ambient gases (Ar, $Ar+H^2$) at room temperature. In order to investigate the influences of the hydrogen, the flow rate of hydrogen in argon mixing gas has been changed from 0.1sccm to 0.5sccm. All the samples show amorphous structure regardless of flow rate. The electrical resistivity of IZO films increased with increasing flow rate of $H^2$ under $Ar+H^2$. All the films showed the average transmittance over 85% in the visible range. The OLED device was fabricated with different IZO electrodes made by configuration of IZO/$\acute{a}$-NPD/DPVB/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al to elucidate the performance of IZO substrate. OLED devices with the amorphous-IZO (a-IZO) anode film show good current density-voltage-luminance characteristics. This suggests that flat surface roughness and low electrical resistivity of a-IZO anode film lead to more efficient anode material in OLED devices.

본 논문에서는 폴리머 기판에서의 레이저 조사 밀도와 기판의 온도변화에 따라 성장하는 ZnO박막의 구조적 특성을 알아보기 위해 펄스레이저 증착법으로 polyethersulfone（PES)기판상에 ZnO 박막을 형성하였다. 레이저 조사 밀도는 0.2~0.4 J/$cm^2$까지 기판온도는 $50^{\circ}C{\sim}200^{\circ}C$까지 변화시켰고, 박막의 결정 구조적 특성을 XRD, AFM, SEM을 통해서 관찰하였다.

A 7.0-inch transmissive type plastic TFT-LCD was developed at the resolution of 640 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 480 lines (114ppi). All of the processed of TFT, color filter and LC were carried out below $130^{\circ}C$ on PES plastic films. The process conditions of TFT, color filter and LC were optimized for large area TFT-LCD on plastic substrate. The backplane and the color filter was strongly adhered while the panel was bending by using holding spacers.

A 14.1-inch reflective type Thin Film Transistor-Electric Phoretic Display was developed at the esolution of 1280 x 900 lines on plastic substrate. All of the processes of TFT were carried out below $100\;^{\circ}C$ on PES plastic films. The process conditions of TFT were optimized for large area TFT-LCD on plastic substrate. At $60^{\circ}C$ high temperature during 160hours, TFT does not delaminate and IV characteristic is also satisfied.

In this paper, to compare thermal and chemical stabilities of poly-ethylene-terephtalate (PET) and polyether- surphone (PES), we fabricated Polymer Light Emitting Diode (PLED) on each substrate and analyzed these characteristics. Moreover, we analyzed the characteristics of the device deposited LiF (1 nm) before cathode deposition.

Because AZO thin film has the potential applications, Preparing AZO thin films on the polymer substrate has been widely studied. In this study, we prepared AZO thin films on polyethersulfon (PES) at room temperature. The AZO thin films were prepared at $O_2$ gas flow rate of 0.05 and sputtering power of 100W with different film thickness by facing targets sputtering method. The electrical, optical and crystallographic properties of AZO thin films were measured by Hall effect measurement system, UV/VIS spectrometer, SEM and XRD. From the results, we obtained AZO thin films with a low resistivity, a transmittance of over 80% and c-axis preferred orientation.

A 5.0-inch transmissive type plastic TFT arrays were successfully fabricated on a plastic substrate at the resolution of $400{\times}3{\times}300$ lines (100ppi). All of the TFT processes were carried out below $150^{\circ}C$ on PES plastic films. After thin film deposition using PECVD, thin film failures such as film delamination and cracking often occurred. For successful growth of thin films (about 1um) without their failures, it is necessary to solve the critical problem related to the internal compressive stress (some GPa) leading to delamination at a threshold thickness value of the films. The Griffith's theory explains the failure process by looking at the excess of elastic energy inside the film, which overcomes the cohesive energy between film and substrate. To increase the above mentioned threshold thickness value there are two possibilities: (i) the improvement of the interface adhesion (for example, through surface micro-roughening and/or surface activation), and (ii) the reduction of the internal stress. In this work, reducing a-Si layer film thickness and optimizing a barrier SiNx layer have produced stable CVD films at 150oC, over PES substrates

Enzymes are important class of catalyst for biotransformation. Stability and reusability of enzymes during the catalysis process is a key issue. Activity of enzyme can be enhanced by its immobilization on a suitable substrate by creation of specific microenvironment. A variety of membranes has been used as substrate due to the biocompatibility and simpler method to tune hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity property of the membrane surface. In this review, polymer membranes including cellulose, polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyethersulfone (PES) are introduced and discussed in detail. Biodegradation of organic contaminants by immobilized enzyme is an environmental friendly process to reduce the contamination of environment in pharmaceutical company and textile industries. The controlled hydrolysis of oil can be performed in enzyme immobilized membrane bioreactor (EMBR), resulting in reducing carbon emission and reduced environmental pollution. Bioethanol and biodiesel are considered alternative fossil fuels that can be prepared in EMBR.

We fabricated a capacitive-type humidity sensor using poly (p-phenylene ether sulfone: PES) as a humidity sensitive layer. The PES was dissolved in m-cresol $(CH_3C_6H_4OH)$ and spin-coated on ITO-coated glass substrate. Gold was deposited by sputtering as a water-permeable upper electrode. The capacitance of the sensor was inversely proportional to sensing film thicknesses and showed an excellent linearity of less than 1% in the humidity range of 20 to 90%. The sensor haying a $1.4{\mu}m$ sensing layer showed a hysteresis of 1.3% and a good sensitivity of 1.14 at 20 kHz.

We investigated the interface of poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and C61-butyric acid methylester (PCBM) by using photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). These are the most widely used materials for bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells due to their high efficiency. Study of the BHJ interfaces is difficult because the organic films are typically prepared by spin coating in ambient conditions. This is incompatible with the interface electronic structure probes such as PES, which requires ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Study of interface requires gradual deposition of thin films that is also incompatible with the spin coating process. In this work, we used electrospray vacuum deposition (EVD) technique to deposit P3HT and PCBM in high vacuum conditions. EVD allows us to form polymer thin films onto ITO substrate in a step-wise manner directly from solutions and to use PES without exposing the sample to the ambient condition. Although the morphology of the EVD deposited P3HT films observed by optical and atomic force microscopes is quite different from that of the spin coated ones, the valence region spectra were similar. PCBM was deposited on the P3HT film in a similar manner and the energy level alignment between these two materials was studied. We discuss the relation between Voc of P3HT:PCBM solar cell and HOMO-LUMO energy offset obtained in this study.
