ZnO-doped near-stoichiometric $LiNbO_3$ single crystals of $0.8{\sim}1.0mm$ diameter and $30{\sim}35mm$ length were grown by the micro-pulling down (U-PD) method. The structure of the grown crystals was confirmed by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. Electron probe micro analysis (EPMA) showed that Zn ions were homogeneously incorporated In grown crystals. The threshold in ZnO doping level was confirmed that an abrupt change in the features of $OH^-$ absorption band as doping level reaching about 2 mol%.

This paper has presented the analysis for threshold voltage and drain induced barrier lowering among short channel effects occurred in subthreshold region for double gate(DG) MOSFET as next-generation devices, based on scaling theory. To obtain the analytical solution of Poisson's equation, Gaussian function has been used as carrier distribution to analyze closely for experimental results, and the threshold characteristics have been analyzed for device parameters such as channel thickness and doping concentration and projected range and standard projected deviation of Gaussian function. Since this potential model has been verified in the previous papers, we have used this model to analyze the threshold characteristics. As a result to apply scaling theory, we know the threshold voltage and drain induced barrier lowering are changed, and the deviation rate is changed for device parameters for DGMOSFET.

Antimony (Sb) doped ZnO thin films (0.1 at.%) were deposited on sapphire (0001) substrates at various temperatures (200 - 600$^{\circ}C$) by using pulsed laser deposition technique. All the thin films have been characterized by X-ray diffractometer, atomic force microscopy and spectrophotometer to investigate their structural, morphological and optical properties, respectively. Hall measurements were also carried out to identify the electrical properties of the thin films. These thin films were constituted in wurtzite structure with the preferential orientation of (002) diffraction plane and had as high as 80% optical transmission in the visible range. The bandgap energy also was determined by spectrophotometer which was around 3.28 eV. Hall measurements results revealed that the Sb dope ZnO thin film (0.1 at.%) grown at $500^{\circ}C$ exhibited p-type conduction with a carrier concentration of $8.633\times10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$, a mobility of $1.41\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ and a resistivity of $51.8\;\Omega{\cdot}cm$. We have successfully achieved p-type conduction in antimony doped ZnO thin films with low doping level even though the electrical properties are not favorable. This paper suggests the feasibility of p-type doping with large-size-mismatched dopant by using pulsed laser deposition.

In this study, the electrical conductivity, transmittance and gas barrier properties of diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films were studied. DLC is an insulator, and has transmittance and oxygen gas barrier properties varying depending on the thickness of the thin film. Recently, many researchers have been trying to apply DLC properties to specific industrial conditions. The DLC thin films were deposited by PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) process. The doping gas was used for the DLC film to have electrical conductivity, and the optimum conditions of transmittance and gas barrier properties were established by adjusting the gas ratio and DLC thickness. In order to improve the electrical conductivity of the DLC thin film, $N_2$ doping gas was used for $CH_4$ or $C_2H_2$ gas. Then, a heat treatment process was performed for 30 minutes in a box furnace set at $200^{\circ}C$. The lowest sheet resistance value of the DLC film was found to be $18.11k{\Omega}/cm^2$. On the other hand, the maximum transmittance of the DLC film deposited on the PET substrate was 98.8%, and the minimum oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of the DLC film of $C_2H_2$ gas was 0.83.

In this paper, the electrical characteristics of CdS thin films doped with a little of impurities(activators) are studied on wavelength(380-760nm), and temperature($120-360^{\circ}K$). These results are as follows. 1) The resistance of pure CdS thin film increases by annealing, and maximum response value of wavelength is shifted to the long wavelength. 2) The spectral responses of light are more sensitive in low temperature(160K) than in room temperature. 3) Characteristics of the spectral response of light are improved by doping with 0.5wt% impurity.

ZnS:Cu,Cl 형광체의 여기 및 발광 스펙트럼 측정 결과 주게인 $Cl^-$ 이온과 받게인 $Cu^+$ 이온 사이의 흡수와 발광에 기인하는 peak과 국소화된 발광 중심인 $(CU_2)^{2+}$ 이온의 흡수와 발광에 기인하는 peak이 관측되었다. CuCl의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 $Cu^+$ 이온의 농도가 증가하게 되어 $(Cu_2)^{2+}$ 이온에 기안하는 발광으로부터 공명 에너지 전달 (Resonant Energy Transfer)의 확률이 높아지기 때문에 513 nm를 중심으로 하는 발광의 세기가 증가하게 된다. 자체 제작한 ZnS:Cu,Cl 형광체를 이용하여 제작한 소자의 휘도 측정결과 400 Hz, 100 V 에서 CuCl 의 첨가량이 0.2 mole% 일 때 휘도가 최대였고, 진동수가 증가함에 따라 휘도가 포화되는 현상이 나타났다. CuCl의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 513 nm를 중심으로 하는 발광이 강해지고 CIE 좌표값이 녹색영역으로 이동하게 된다. 진동수가 증가하면 인가된 전압의 유지 시간이 짧아지게 되어 발광의 감쇄시간이 긴 513 nm를 중심으로 하는 발광보다 감쇄시간이 짧은 458 nm를 중심으로 하는 발광이 강해지게 되고, CIE 좌표값이 청색영역으로 이동하게 된다.

In this paper, we investigated the effect of luminescence properties of various concentrations of magnesium-doped ZnS:Mn phosphor excited by plasma luminescence device. The PL intensity was evaluated in the range of 300~500 nm excitation wavelengths. We found the highest PL intensity of the phosphors excited by 365 nm and 450 nm was observed at Mg concentrations of 1.4 wt% and 0.8 wt%, respectively. In addition, an emission peak was distinguished at 580 nm wavelength. With increasing Mg dopant level, enhanced PL intensity was observed, which is possibly applicable to color converting materials by blue emission for white light sources. Finally, we evaluated the luminance properties of color converting ZnS:Mn,Mg phosphors with plasma blue light source. the white luminance of plasma light source with CIE(0.36,0.26) was established by color converting phosphors of ZnS:Mn with 0.8 wt% Mg.

태양전지는 온실 가스 감축에 효과가 큰 기후 변화 대응 기술이다. 현재 상업화에 성공한 실리콘 태양전지의 뒤를 이어 박막 태양전지, 페로브스카이트 태양전지 등 차세대 태양전지가 가격과 효율 등을 극복하기 위하여 매우 많이 연구되고 있다. CZT(S,Se) 박막 태양전지는 차세대 태양전지의 유력 후보군인 CIGS, CdTe, 페로브스카이트 태양전지 등에 비해 범용 무독성 원소를 광흡수층으로 사용한다는 장점을 가지고 있지만 아직까지는 이들보다 효율이 낮아 상용화하기에는 많은 문제를 가지고 있다. CZT(S,Se) 박막태양전지의 기본적인 물성, 공정 등을 알아보고 고효율을 달성하는 방법에 대하여 알아보고자 한다.

Cu-doped ZnTe thin films have been grown by hot-wall evaporation. The electrical conductivity of the intrinsic ZnTe film was of p-type and as low as $10^{-6}({\Omega}{\cdot}cm)^{-1}$. As the doped Cu concentration was increased, the electrical conductivity was increased. up to $10^2({\Omega}{\cdot}cm)^{-1}$, but the mobility was decreased a little. The heavily doped sample shows the metal-like electrical resistivity.

$CaTi_{1-x}Fe_xO_3(0{\leq}x{\leq}0.4)$ solid solution photocatalysts were synthesized by iron doping during the conventional solid state reaction at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 5 h and characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, morphological analysis. We found that $CaTi_{1-x}Fe_xO_3$ samples not only absorb UV but also the visible light photons. This is because the Fe substitution at Ti-site in $CaTi_{1-x}Fe_xO_3$ lattice induces the band transition from Fe3d to the Fe3d + Ti3d hybrid orbital. The photocatalytic activity of Fe doped $CaTiO_3$ samples for hydrogen production under UV light irradiation decreased with the increase in the Fe concentration. There exists an optimized concentration of iron in $CaTiO_3$, which yields a maximum photocatalytic activity under visible light ($\lambda\geq420nm$) photons.
