오늘 날 transparent conductive oxide는 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 최근에는 태양전지 분야에서도 많이 활용되고 있으며, 초기에는 transmittance 및 낮은 sheet resistance 특성을 가지는 ITO가 많이 활용되었지만 thin film solar cell와 같이 hydrogenation 공정에 약한 ITO보다는 Al-doped ZnO가 사용되기 시작하면서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 thin film solar cell 및 silicon heterojunction solar cell에 적용 가능한 Al-doped ZnO에 관한 연구로써 a-Si:H의 Si-H bonds에 영향을 주지 않는 낮은 영역의 substrate temperature와 power로 Al-doped ZnO를 형성하고 상기 parameter에 따른 Al-doped ZnO의 특성 변화에 대해서 분석하였다. 특히 substrate temperature가 변화할수록 carrier concentration 및 sheet resistance가 많은 변화를 보였으며 이로 인하여 transmittance 특성이 온도에 따라 좋아지다가 너무 높은 온도에서는 오히려 좋지 않게 되었다. 이는 너무 높은 carrier concentration은 free carrier absorption에 의해 transmittance 특성을 오히려 좋지 않게 한다. 우리는 본 연구를 통해 92.677% (450 nm), 90.309% (545 nm), 94.333% (800 nm)의 transmittance를 얻을 수 있었다.

Highly self-cleaning thin films of $TiO_2-SiO_2$ co-doped with Ag and F are prepared by the sol-gel method. The asprepared thin films consist of bottom $SiO_2$ and top $TiO_2$ layers which are modified by doping with F, Ag and F-Ag elements. XRD analysis confirms that the prepared thin film is a crystalline anatase phase. UV-vis spectra show that the light absorption of $Ag-F-TiO_2/SiO_2$ thin films is tuned in the visible region. The self-cleaning properties of the prepared films are evaluated by a water contact angle measurement under UV light irradiation. The photocatalytic performances of the thin films are studied using methylene blue dye under both UV and visible light irradiation. The $Ag-F-TiO_2/SiO_2$ thin films exhibit higher photocatalytic activity under both UV and visible light compared with other samples of pure $TiO_2$, Ag-doped $TiO_2$, and F-doped $TiO_2$ films.

In this work, the discharge characteristics and temporal distribution of surface charges on the Sidoped MgO have been investigated and elucidated with the results of photon-induced surface current. Even though the Si doped MgO shows lower static voltage margin, higher luminous efficacy, and shorter statistical delay time, its discharge characteristics become deteriorated as the timing of scanning is delayed from the ramp type reset pulse down. Overall features of Si-doped MgO in discharge characteristics are well correlated with surface current characteristics.

The Y1.99-xMxCe0.01SiO5(M=Li, La, Nd, and Gd) phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reaction at 1350oC for 10h under reducing atmosphere in order to improve properties of blue emitting phosphors. Compared with commercial blue phosphors, the Y2SiO5:Ce blue phosphors substituted with various elements showed significant enhancement of the emission intensity. Particularly, 1 mol% Li doped Y2SiO5:Ce phosphors indicated the maximum emission intensity in the photoluminescence spectra. Thanks to SEM analyses revealed that the morphology of Y2SiO5:(Ce,Li) blue phosphors was a pseudo-spherical with particle size of 3m.

The effect of Si3N4 addition on the microstructure and PTCR characteristics of BaTiO3 was studied. When 0.1 mol% Sb2O3-doped BaTiO3 codoped with Si3N4 (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 wt%, respectively) were sintered, their microstructures were changed by the amount of the liquid phase as a result of eutectic reaction at 126$0^{\circ}C$. By these microstructural changes, the specific resistivity ratio($\rho$max/$\rho$min) with Si3N4 content variation of 0.1 mol% Sb2O3-doped BaTiO3 ceramics sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour varied between 3.70$\times$102(0.1 wt% Si3N4) to 1.16$\times$103 (1wt% Si3N4).

The effects of $SiO_2$ impurity on the high temperature resistivities of AIN ceramics have been investigated. When $SiO_2$ was added into 1 wt% $Y_2O_3$-doped AIN, DC resistivities have decreased and electrode polarizations disappeared. Impedance spectroscopy showed two semi-circles at $600^{\circ}C$, which were attributed to grain and grain boundary, respectively. $SiO_2$ doping had more significant effects on the grain resistivity than grain boundary resistivity, implying that doped Si acted as a donor in AIN lattice. In addition, voltage dependency of DC resistivity was observed, which might be related to dependency of size of grain boundary semi-circle on the bias voltage in impedance spectroscopy.

$Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn green phosphors doped with Ga for PDP were synthesized by solid state reaction method. Photoluminescence measurements showed a new emission peak at around 600 nm for $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn phosphors doped with Ga. Also, the luminescent color with doping $Ga^{3+}$ in the $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn phosphors changed to green from yellowish green. Consequently, the new peak and charge of the luminescent color in the $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn, Ga phosphors were attributed to $^2E{\rightarrow}^6A_2$ transition of $Mn^{4+}$.

Si-doped GaAs single crystals were grown by vertical gradient freeze using PBN crucibles. The amount of oxide layer $B_{2}O_{3}$ in PBN crucible was changed($0{\sim}0.2wt%$) and measured the concentration of carriers. The segregation coefficients of Si in GaAs melt decreased rapidly from initial 0.1 to 0.01 as the amount of $B_{2}O_{3}$ increases. At the same time, concentration of carriers was shown to decrease. It is likely that the reaction between dopant Si and $B_{2}O_{3}$ in GaAs melt results in the reduction of Si dopants(donor) while increase in the amount of boron(acceptor). The thin layer of $B_{2}O_{3}$ glass in PBN crucible was proved to be a better way to reduce defect formation rather than the total amount of $B_{2}O_{3}$.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) films were deposited by an RF magnetron sputtering system with the RF power of 200W and 300W and flow rate of oxygen gases of 20 and 30 sccm, in order to research the growth of ZnO on carbon doped silicon oxide (SiOC) thin film. The reflectance of SiOC film on Si film deposited by the sputtering decreased with increasing the oxygen flow rate in the range of long wavelength. In comparison between ZnO/Si and ZnO/SiOC/Si thin film, the reflectance of ZnO/SiOC/Si film was inversed that of ZnO/Si film in the rage of 200~1000 nm. The transmittance of ZnO film increased with increasing the oxygen gas flow rate because of the transition from conduction band to oxygen interstitial band due to the oxygen interstitial (Oi) sites. The low reflectance and the high transmittance of ZnO film was suitable properties to use for the front electrode in the display or solar cell.

The effects of Si -doped MgO have been investigated in order to improve the material properties of the MgO protective layer in plasma display panels. A small amount of Si is added to the MgO pellet while the MgO layer is being deposited by using an electron-beam evaporation method. Both the surface characteristics of the protecting layer and the electro-optical properties of 4 in. test panels are investigated, such as XRD patterns, SEM images, firing and sustain voltages, secondary electron emission coefficient($\gamma$), luminance, luminous efficacy and lifetime. The firing and sustain voltage are minimized when Si concentration is 0.038%, where the luminance and luminous efficacy increase up to 17% and 26% compared with that of the pure MgO film, separately, and lifetime also shows good characteristics.
