As display industry requires various applications for future display technology, which can guarantees high level of flexibility and transparency on display panel, oxide semiconductor materials are regarded as one of the best candidates. $InGaZnO_4$(IGZO) has gathered much attention as a post-transition metal oxide used in active layer in thin-film transistor. Due to its high mobility fabricated at low temperature fabrication process, which is proper for application to display backplanes and use in flexible and/or transparent electronics. Electrical performance of amorphous oxide semiconductors depends on the resistance of the interface between source/drain metal contact and active layer. It is also affected by sheet resistance on IGZO thin film. Controlling contact/sheet resistance has been a hot issue for improving electrical properties of AOS(Amorphous oxide semiconductor). To overcome this problem, post-annealing has been introduced. In other words, through post-annealing process, saturation mobility, on/off ratio, drain current of the device all increase. In this research, we studied on the relation between device's resistance and post-annealing temperature. So far as many post-annealing effects have been reported, this research especially analyzed the change of electrical properties by increasing post-annealing temperature. We fabricated 6 main samples. After a-IGZO deposition, Samples were post-annealed in 5 different temperatures; as-deposited, $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$. Metal deposition was done on these samples by using Mo through E-beam evaporation. For analysis, three analysis methods were used; IV-characteristics by probe station, surface roughness by AFM, metal oxidation by FE-SEM. Experimental results say that contact resistance increased because of the metal oxidation on metal contact and rough surface of a-IGZO layer. we can suggest some of the possible solutions to overcome resistance effect for the improvement of TFT electrical performances.

본 연구에서는 e-beam evaporator를 사용하여 제조한 CoCrTa/CrNi 박막시편의 자성층 두께에 따른 부식특성과 열처리에 따른 부식특성의 변화를 알아보았다. Potentiodynamic scan을 이용하여 알아본 결과, 자성층 두께가 증가함에 따라 부식전위가 낮아지고, 부동태 전류밀도가 감소함을 알 수 있었다. XRD를 이용한 분석결과에 따르면, 이것은 자성층 두께가 증가함에 따라 (100)면보다 수소과전압이 큰 (0002)면으로 우선 성장했기 때문이다. 열처리에 따른 CoCrTa(400$\AA$) 자성박막의 부식특성 변화를 potentiodynamic scan과 accelerated corrosion chamber test를 이용하여 알아본 결과, 열처리후 박막시편의 내부식성이 우수해짐을 알 수 있었다. 이것은 열처리에 의해 자성층위에 Cr 산화물층이 형성되고, 이 산화물층이 자성층의 보호막으로 작용했기 때문이다.

In this work, transparent conducting Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films were prepared on Coming glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering using an Al-doped ZnO target (Al: 2 wt.%) at room temperature and all films were deposited with athickness of 150 nm. We investigated the effects of the post-annealing temperature and the annealing ambient on structural, electrical and optical properties of AZO films. The films were annealed at temperatures ranging from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$ in steps of $100^{\circ}C$ using rapid thermal annealing equipment in oxygen. The thickness of the film was observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and grain size was calculated from the XRD spectra using the Scherrer equation and their electrical properties were investigated using a hole measurement and the reflectance of AZO films was investigated by UV-VIS spectrometry.

Zinc oxide films were deposited on Si (111) substrates by radio-frequency (rf)sputtering at a room temperature and post annealed in Na, air, and $H_2O$ ambient at temperatures between $800{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. The properties were investigated by atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and photoluminescence (PL). Our experiments demonstrated that ZnO films have the better crystal quality for post thermal annealing and especially in $H_2O$ ambient. Even though thermal annealing reduced deep level emission somewhat, for further getting rid off deep level emission, oxygen contents should be adjusted. In our results, $H_2O$ ambient gave the best structural and optical properties.

Copper Oxide (CuO) films were deposited on the n-type silicon wafer by rf magnetron sputtering for heterojunction solar cells. And then the samples were treated as a function of the annealing temperature (300-600℃) in a vacuum. Their electrical, optical and structural properties of the fabricated heterojunction solar cells were then investigated and the power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of the fabricated p-type copper oxide/n-type Si heterojunction cells were measured using solar simulator. After being treated at temperature of 500℃, the solar cells with CuO film have PCE of 0.43%, Current density of 5.37mA/㎠, Fill Factor of 39.82%.

To remove the Cu secondary phase remaining on the surface of a CIGSSe absorber layer manufactured by the two-step process, KCN etching was applied before depositing the CdS buffer layer. In addition, it was possible to increase the conversion efficiency by air annealing after forming the CdS buffer layer. In this study, various pre-treatment/post-treatment conditions wereapplied to the S-containing CIGSSe absorber layerbefore and after formation of the CdS buffer layer to experimentally confirm whether similareffects as those of Se-terminated CIGSe were exhibited. Contrary to expectations, it was noted that CdS air annealing had negative effects.

PVDF(polyvinylidene fluoride) 섬유는 습식방사방법을 적용하여 제조하였다. PVDF 분자 내 압전 특성과 밀접한 관련을 갖는 ${\beta}$형태의 결정 함량을 높이기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 습식방사 된 섬유에 1단계 연신, 2단계 어닐링 공정으로 구성하여 후 처리를 도입하였다. 후 처리는 PVDF 고분자의 유리전이 온도($T_g$)와 용융온도($T_m$) 사이의 온도범위에서 진행하여, 최대의 ${\beta}$형태 결정을 생성 할 수 있는 열처리 조건을 최적화 하였다. 제조된 PVDF 섬유 내 분자 배향 특성과 결정 구조를 확인하기 위하여 적외선 분광 광도계(FT-IR)와 X선 회절 분석기(XRD)를 이용하여 분석하였으며, 전자현미경(SEM)을 통하여 섬유의 표면을 관찰하여 섬유의 평균직경을 확인하였다. 분석 결과, 후 처리 공정이 PVDF 결정 구조의 영향을 미치며, ${\beta}$형태의 결정 비율을 증가시킨다는 것을 확인하였다. 더불어 ${\beta}$형태 결정 향상으로 인해 기계적 강도가 증가되었으며, 압전 특성 향상까지 기대할 수 있었다.

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) has been extensively studied as the active material in ammonia gas sensor because of its fast response time, high conductivity and environmental stability. It is well known that a post annealing process for organic devices based on PEDOT:PSS significantly increases the device performance. In this study, we propose the solvent annealing of PEDOT:PSS and investigated its effects. As a results, post solvent annealing on PEDOT:PSS lead to the surface chemical and physical properties change. These changes result in improved conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS. In additional, ammonia sensitivity of solvent annealed PEDOT:PSS become higher than pristine polymer film. The enhancement is mainly caused by the depletion of gas barrier PSS and structural re-forming PEDOT networks. We believe that the post solvent annealing is a promising method to achieve highly sensitivity PEDOT:PSS films for applications in efficient, low-cost and flexible ammonia gas sensor.

The magnetoresistance (MR) properties of antiferromagnetic (AFM) IrMn based giant magnetoresistance-spin valve (GMR-SV) was investigated in view point of the artificial rotation effect of ferromagnetic (FM) layer in the plane induced by an applied field during the post annealing temperature. The MR curves measured with an azimuthal angle region of ${\phi}=0^{\circ}-360^{\circ}$ are depended on the annealing temperature and the magnetization easy axis of two free NiFe layers and two pinned NiFe layers in dual-type GMR-SV film. Especially, the annealing temperature and sample rotation angle(${\theta}$ ) maintained to the magnetic sensitivity (MS) of 1.4 %/Oe with an isotropic region angle of $110^{\circ}$ are $100^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}$, respectively.

We investigated the effect of a post-annealing process using ultraviolet (UV) light on the electrical properties of solution-processed InZnO (IZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs). UV light was irradiated on IZO TFTs for different time periods of 0s, 30s, and 90s. We measured transfer and retention stability curves to evaluate the performance of the fabricated TFTs. In addition, we measured height, amplitude, and phase AFM images to analyze changes in the surface and morphology of the devices. AFM measurements were performed by setting the drive amplitude of the cantilever tip to 47.9 mV in tapping mode, then dividing the device surface into 500 nm × 500 nm. In the case of IZO TFT irradiated with UV for 30s, the electron mobility and I_on/I_off ratio were improved, the threshold voltage was reduced by approximately 2 V, and the subthreshold swing also decreased form 1.34 V/dec to 1.11 V/dec.
