  • Thin reflective films are synthesized by using PVD methods with a bright metal of Al or Ag. For purposes of improving the reflectance and adhesion of such films particularly, substrate bias was applied during sputtering (namely, ion-plating) to enhance the deposition process with higher energy. And we succeeded in fabricating a quality silver film which possesses an adhesion of $85{\;}Kg/\textrm{cm}^2$ and a high reflectivity of more than 96%. Both of reflectivity and adhesion are better in case of bias sputtering as controlled than nonbias sputtering, particularly the bias of 50-100 V showed most effective. The microstructures of sample films were examined by using various equipments and the XRD spectrum in particular showed that <111> direction is the preferred growth orientation.

  • Multi-layer films of $SiN_x/SiO_x$/InSnO with anti-reflective effect were grown by new-concept plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system (PECVD) with hybrid plasma source (HPS). Anti-reflective effect of $SiN_x/SiO_x$/InSnO was investigated as a function of ratio of $SiN_x$ and $SiO_x$ thickness. Multi-layers deposited by PECVD with HPS represents the enhancement of anti-reflective effect with high transmittance, comparing to the layers by conventional radio frequency (RF) sputtering system. This change is strongly related to the optical and physical properties of each layer, such as refractive index, composition, film density, and surface roughness depending on the deposition system.

  • White reflective patterns are very difficult to fabricate, due to the scattering and reflection of light, especially when the pattern size goes down to micron size. A reflective white barrier structure of height $50{\mu}m$ and width $80{\mu}m$ was fabricated using dry-film resist as an intermediate reverse pattern. The reverse dry-film resist pattern was coated with an $SiO_2$ layer by sputtering, to protect the resist from chemical attack by the radical molecules in UV white resin. The UV white resin was applied on the dry-film resist pattern and then cured with ultraviolet light. The fine three-dimensional reflective patterns were finished by removing the dry-film resist.

  • $SiO_2/TiO_2/ZrO_2$ broadband anti-reflective multi-layer thin films were prepared at room temperature by RF sputtering system. Optical constants and structural properties on each layer of films were analyzed by spectroscopic ellipsometer and transmittance spectra of the films were measured by $UV-V_{is}$ spectrophotometer in the range of 300$\sim$900 nm. To evaluate the films, we compared the measured and analyzed spectra with designed spectra. We investigated influence of discrepancy of thickness and refractive indices of each layer on changes of the transmittance spectra. It was found that refractive indices and shape of dispersion of deposition materials are more contributed to changes of the transmittance spectra than thickness of layer.

  • 정보 기술 시대에 맞춰 광전소자의 연구가 활발해지면서 투명전극으로 사용될 수 있는 Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) 재료에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 하지만 TCO의 대표적인 물질인 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)의 경우 In의 가격 상승으로 인해 최근에는 낮은 전도도와 높은 투과도를 가질 수 있는 대체 물질에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서 3.2 eV 의 높은 밴드갭을 갖는 ZnO 는 가시광선 영역에서 높은 투과율을 나타낼 뿐만 아니라 Al, Ga을 도핑함으로써 낮은 전도도를 가질 수 있다. 이러한 TCO 재료는 surface texturing을 통하여 optical region 에서 반사를 억제 시킴으로서 빛을 모으는 역할을 하여 태양전지의 효율을 향상 시킬 수 있기 때문에 PV (Photovoltaics) Cell의 anti-reflective coating에 적용 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 pulsed DC magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) 박막을 증착하였고, HCl 0.5 wt %로 wet etching을 통하여 surface texturing을 진행하였다. 결정성은 X-ray diffractometer (XRD)로 분석하였으며, 표면 형상은 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)을 통해 확인하였다. Van der Pauw 방법을 통해 resistivity, carrier concentration, hall mobility 등의 전기적 특성을 분석하였고 UV-Vis spectrophotometer 를 통해 투과도 및 반사도를 측정하였다.

  • Reflective silver films with high quality were prepared on polyester substrate by using sputter deposit on techniques. Best reflectivity thin films of silver were produced with process parameters of $10^{-6}$ Torr as base pressure, 50 W as R.F. power, 5 mTorr as working pressure, and 10 sccm as Ar flow rate. Being deposited with an R.F. power of 50 W, Ag films revealed the highest 96.3 % reflectance as illuminated with a light of 700 nm wavelength. The adhesion of sample films showed as high as 14 to $20{\;}kg/\textrm{cm}^2$, which is suitable for industrial purposes. Their film crystallinity and orientation resulted in the planes of (111) and (200) for the growth with a preferred orientation of <111>, in general. The cross-sections of thin film specimens showed columnar structures. It is noted that columns became coarsened and less dense as R.F. power increased, resulting in a low reflectivity for the product film.

  • 지구 온난화와 화석 연료의 고갈이 심각해지면서 청정 에너지원으로서 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 더욱 고조되고 있다. 신재생에너지 분야의 핵심기술의 하나인 태양전지의 여러 응용분야 중에서 건물 일체형 태양전지의 발전 가능성이 특히 높게 평가되고 있다. Si 계 박막 태양전지 내에 금속 산화물 계 선택적 투과막을 적용하면 선택적으로 적외선영역을 광흡수층으로 반사시키므로 건물 일체형 태양전지에 적용이 가능한 높은 변환효율의 투명 태양전지를 제조할 수 있다. 최근 연구 결과에 의하면 AlTiO 선택적 투과막의 투과율은 표면 평탄도에 의존하며, 타겟에 인가되는 전력을 감소시킴으로써 reactive co-sputtering 시 발생하는 아크 방전을 억제하면 AlTiO 박막의 평탄도가 개선된다는 사실이 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 AlTi single 타겟을 이용하여 AlTiO 박막을 형성함으로써 박막 표면을 더욱 개선시켜 가시광선 영역의 투과율을 향상시킨 결과를 보고한다.

  • 터치스크린패널로 응용하기 위하여 80%이상의 높은 투과도와 낮은 저항이 요구된다. 그 중에서도 무반사 효과 (anti-reflective, AR) 를 크게하여 투과도를 향상시키는 방법으로 나노구조물, 증착시 경사각, 다층박막 방법 등이 연구 개발되고 있다. 단일 박막을 이용하여 무반사 코팅을 하는 경우, 정밀한 굴절률 조절이 어려우며 낮은 반사율 영역의 선폭이 좁은 단점이 있다. 반면, 저/고굴절률 다층박막의 경우 비교적 굴절률 조절이 용이하고 가시광영역 전반적으로 높은 투과도를 가질 수 있다. plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) 증착법을 이용하여 무반사 효과를 증대시키기 위해 저/고굴절률 다층구조의 박막을 두께조합에 따라 평가하였으며, 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 Sputtering증착법과 비교하여 연구하였다. 제작된 다층박막의 구조는 glass(sub.)/SiN/SiO2/ITO 이며, 무반사 코팅층인 SiN/SiO2층은 각각 PECVD와 Sputtering 증착법을 통해 성장되었고, ITO는 스퍼터링 증착법을 이용하여 동일하게 성장하였다. 그 결과 PECVD 증착법이 Sputtering 증착법에 비하여 가시광영역(400~800nm)에서 더 높은 투과도를 얻게 되었다. 결과의 차이에 대해서 PECVD 증착법과 Sputtering 증착법으로 성장된 SiN, SiO2 박막의 광학적 특성과 물리적 특성의 변화를 spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), Rutherford backscattering (RBS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) 을 이용하여 비교, 분석하였다.

  • We fabricated durable anti-reflective(AR) layer with silica globular coating on polymer by two steps. Firstly, nano-protrusions of polymer were formed by plasma etching known as R.I.E(reactive ion etching) process. Secondly, silica globular coating was deposited on polymer nano-protrusions for mechanically protective and optically enhancing AR layers by RF magnetron sputter. And then durable antireflective polymers were synthesized adjusting plasma power and time, working pressures of RIE and RF sputtering processes. Consequently, we acquired the average transmission (94.10%) in the visible spectral range 400-800 nm and the durability of AR layer was verified to sustain its transmission until 5,000 numbers by rubber test at a load of 500 gf.
