We applied the spray pyrolysis technique to prepare Mn-doped $BaMgAl_{10}O_{17}$ (BAM) particles with high photoluminescence, which could be used in the plasma display device as a green phosphor. Several preparation conditions were investigated in order to tail the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) characteristics. Some portions of barium were replaced with strontium to improve the luminescent intensity of BAM:Mn particles under VUV excitation. The content of Mn and Sr was optimized to obtain high luminescent efficiency under VUV excitation. Finally, the optimized BAM:Mn green particles showed higher photoluminescence intensity than that of commercial $Zn_2SiO_4$ and comparable with commercial barium-aluminate phosphor.

The most Important research topic in the development of ZnO LED and LD is the production of p-type ZnO thin film that has minimal stress with outstanding stoichiometric ratio. In this study, Phosphorus diffused into the undoped ZnO thin films using the ampoule-tube method for the production of p-type znO thin films. The undoped ZnO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering system on $GaAs_{0.6}P_{0.4}$/GaP and Si wafers. 4N Phosphorus (P) was diffused into the undoped ZnO thin films in ampoule-tube which was performed and $630^{\circ}C$ during 3hr. We found the diffusion condition of the conductive ZnO films which had p-type properties with the highest mobility of above 532 $cm^2$/Vs compared with other studies PL spectra measured at 10K for the purpose of analyzing optical properties of p-type ZnO thin film showed strong PL intensity in the UV emission band around 365nm ~ 415nm and 365nm ~ 385nm.

In this study, the photo-deposition method was used to introduce Ag onto the surface of TiO₂ to synthesize an Ag-TiO₂ composite. The effects of the varying amounts of AgNO₃ precursor and annealing time periods on the Ag content in the composites, as well as their antibacterial characteristics under visible light conditions were studied. SEM analysis revealed the spherical morphology of the Ag-TiO₂ composite. Compared with TiO₂, the Ag particles were too small to be observed. An XPS analysis of the Ag-TiO₂ surface confirmed the Ag content and showed the peak intensities for elements such as Ag, Ti, O, C, and Si. The highest Ag content was observed when 33.3 wt.% of AgNO₃ and an annealing time of 6 h were employed; this was the optimum annealing time for Ti-Ag-O bonding, in that the lowest number of O bonds and the highest number of Ag bonds were confirmed by XPS analysis. Superior antibacterial properties against Bacillus and Escherichia coli, in addition to the widest inhibition zones were exhibited by the Ag-TiO₂ composite with an increased Ag content in a disk diffusion test, the bacterial reduction rate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli being 99.9%.

The passivation films with epoxy layer on LiF, $SiN_x$ and LiF/$SiN_x$ inorganic layer were fabricated on OLED to protect device from the direct damage of $O_2$ and $H_2O$ and to apply for a buffer layer between OLED device and passivation multi-layer with organic/inorganic hybrid structure as to diminish the thermal stress and expansion. Red OLED doped with 1 vol.% Rubrene in $Alq_3$ was used as a basic device. The device structure was multi-layer of ITO(150 nm) / ELM200_HIL(50 nm) / ELM002_HTL(30 nm) / $Alq_3$: 1 vol.% Rubrene(30 nm) / $Alq_3$(30 nm) / LiF(0.7 nm) / Al(100 nm). LiF/epoxy applied as a protective layer didn't contribute to the improvement of life time. While in case of $SiN_x$/epoxy, damage was done in the passivation process because of difference in heat expansion between films which could occur during the formation of epoxy film. Using LiF/$SiN_x$/epoxy improved lifetime significantly without suffering damage in the process of forming films, therefore, the best structure of passivation film with inorganic/epoxy layers was LiF/$SiN_x$/E1.

ZnO was doped up to 0.3 wt% for improving the electrical properties of lead-free $[Li_{0.04}(Na_{0.44}Ko_{0.52})-(Nb_{0.86}\;Ta_{0.10}\;Sb_{0.04})]O_3$ piezoelectric ceramics. The ceramics were fabricated with the conventional sintering processes. Crystal structure of the samples was tetragonal phase regardless of ZnO amount. However, the piezoelectric properties were varied with the ZnO amount. The electro-mechanical coupling factor $(k_p)$ was with the ZnO amount up to 0.2 wt% but decreased with the further addition. the maximum value of $k_p$ was 0.475. Density, piezoelectric charge constant and relative dielectric constant was also showed maximum value at 0.2 wt%. The maximum values are $4.75g/cm^3$, 275 pC/N, 1403, respectively. In contrast, the mechanical quality factor $(Q_m)$ was not varied with increasing the ZnO addition up to 0.2 wt% but rapidly increased at 0.3 wt%.

본 연구에서는 P 형과 N 형의 특성을 모두 갖추 것으로 알려진 perylene의 특성을 연구하였다. 특히 구조적 특성과 전기적 특성 향상을 위하여 초고진공 상태에서 $SiO_2$ 기판 위에 perylene 박막을 제작하였는데 증착 속도에 따른 박막의 특성 향상 여부를 살펴보기 위하여 0.1 $\AA$/s 와 1 $\AA$/s로 변화시켜가며 박막을 제작하였다. 박막의 결정성과 표면 특성은 X-선 회절과 원자 간력 현미경을 이용하여 살펴보았는데, 1 $\AA$/s로 증착된 perylene박막이 더 우수한 결정성과 표면 분포를 보였다. 박막의 전기적 특성 확인을 위하여 heavily doped 실리콘 기판 위에 $SiO_2$와 gold를 이용한 perylene 박막 트랜지스터를 제작하였다. 얻어진 perylene 박막 트랜지스터는 P 형의 반도체적 성질을 나타내었으며, 전류-전압 특성 곡선을 이용하여 $2.23\times10^{-5}\textrm{cm}^2$/Vs 의 전하 이동도를 얻었다.

반도체 소자의 배선용 재료로서 사용가능한 합금원소 Mg를 첨가한 Cu(Mg) 박막의 기계 및 전기적 특성 변화를 조사하였다. Cu(2.7at.%Mg) 박막은 열처리를 할 경우 Cu 박막에 비하여 표면거칠기는 약 1/10 정도로 줄고 $SiO_2$와의 접착력도 2배 이상 향상된 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 $300^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서 10분 이상 열처리를 할 경우 급격한 저항감소를 보여주었는데 이는 Mg 원소의 확산으로 인해 표면 및 계면에서 Mg 산화물이 형성되고 내부에는 순수 Cu와 같이 되었기 때문이다. 경도 및 열응력에 대한 저항력도 Cu박막에 비해 우수한 것으로 나타났으며 열응력으로 인해 Cu 박막에 나타나던 표면 void가 Cu(Mg) 박막에서는 전혀 관찰되지 않았다. EM Test 결과 lifetime은 2.5MA/$cm^2$, $297^[\circ}C$에서 순수 Cu 라인보다 5배 이상 길고 BTS Test 결과 Capacitance-Voltage 그래프의 플랫 밴드 전압(V$_{F}$ )의 shift현상이 Cu에서는 나타났지만 Cu(Mg) 박막에서는 발생하지 않는 우수한 신뢰성을 보여주었다. 누설전류 측정을 통한 $SiO_2$의 파괴시간은 Cu에 비하여 약 3배 이상 길어 합금원소에 의한 확산방지 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

Several oxides have recently been reported to have resistance-switching characteristics for nonvolatile memory (NVM) applications. Both binary and ternary oxides demonstrated great potential as resistive-switching memory elements. However, the switching mechanisms have not yet been clearly understood, and the uniformity and reproducibility of devices have not been sufficient for gigabit-NVM applications. The primary requirements for oxides in memory applications are scalability, fast switching speed, good memory retention, a reasonable resistive window, and constant working voltage. In this paper, we discuss several materials that are resistive-switching elements and also focus on their switching mechanisms. We evaluated non-stoichiometric polycrystalline oxides ($Nb_2O_5$, and $ZrO_x$) and subsequently the resistive switching of $Cu_xO$ and heavily Cu-doped $MoO_x$ film for their compatibility with modem transistor-process cycles. Single-crystalline Nb-doped $SrTiO_3$ (NbSTO) was also investigated, and we found a Pt/single-crystal NbSTO Schottky junction had excellent memory characteristics. Epitaxial NbSTO film was grown on an Si substrate using conducting TiN as a buffer layer to introduce single-crystal NbSTO into the CMOS process and preserve its excellent electrical characteristics.

Purpose: Fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) bottom electrode for $Ta_2O_5$ based RRAM was studied to apply for transparent resistive switching memory devices owing to its superior transparency, good conductivity and chemical stability. Methods: $ITO/Ta_2O_5/FTO$ (ITF) and $ITO/Ta_2O_5/Pt$ (ITP) devices were fabricated on glass and Si substrate, respectively. UV-visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy was used to examine transparency of the ITF device and its band gap energy was determined by conventional Tauc plot. Electrical properties, such as electroforming and voltage-induced RS characteristics were measured and compared. Results: The device with an FTO bottom electrode showed good transparency (>80%), low forming voltage (~-2.5V), and reliable bipolar RS behavior. Whereas, the one with Pt electrode showed both bipolar and unipolar RS behaviors unstably with large forming voltage (~-6.5V). Conclusion: Transparent and conducting FTO can successfully realize a transparent RRAM device. It is concluded that FTO electrode may form a stable interface with $Ta_2O_5$ switching layer and plays as oxygen ion reservoir to supply oxygen vacancies, which eventually facilitates a stable operation of RRAM device.

ECR plasma CVD를 이용한 SiOF박막은 낮은 유전상수를 가지고 있으며, 기존의 공정과의 정합성이 우수해 다층배선 공정에 채용이 유망한 재료이지만 수분의 흡수로 인한 유전율의 상승과 후속공정의 안정성이 문제점으로 부각되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SiOF박막의 내흡습성과 후속공정에서의 안정성을 향상시키기 위하여 SiOF박막을 증착한 후 후속 산소 플라즈마 처리를 행하였다. SiOF박막은 산소 플라즈마 처리를 수행함으로써 SiOF박막의 밀도가 증가하고, 수분과의 친화력이 강한 Si-F 결합이 감소하는 것이 주요한 원인으로 사료된다. 하지만 플라즈마 처리 시간이 5분 이상으로 증가하면 유전율의 증가가 일어난다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 산소 플라즈마 처리조건이 마이크로파 전력이 700W, 공정 압력이 3mTorr, 기판온도가 $300^{\circ}C$일 경우 플라즈마 처리시간은 3분이 적당한 것으로 생각 된다.
