  • 본 연구에서는 RF magnetron sputtering 법으로 상온에서 공정압력 (1~7 mTorr) 을 변화시켜가며 유리기판(Eagle 2000) 위에 ITZO ($In_2O_3$ : $SnO_2$ : ZnO = 90wt.%: 5wt.%: 5wt.%) 박막을 제작하여, 구조적 특성과 광학적 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. XRD 와 FESEM 측정을 통해, 공정압력에 무관하게 모든 ITZO 박막이 부드러운 표면의 비정질 구조를 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 공정압력 3mTorr 에서 증착한 ITZO 박막이 비저항 $3.08{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, 가시광 영역에서 평균 투과도 81 % 와 재료평가지수 $10.52{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}^{-1}$ 의 가장 우수한 전기적 및 광학적 특성을 나타내었다.

  • Indium zinc tin oxide (IZTO) thin films were studied as a possible alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) films for providing low-cost transparent conducting oxide (TCO) for thin film photovoltaic devices. IZTO films were deposited onto glass substrates at room temperature. A dc/rf magnetron co-sputtering system equipped with a ceramic target of the same composition was used to deposit TCO films. Earlier studies showed that the resistivity value of $In_{0.6}Zn_{0.2}Sn_{0.2}O_{1.5}$ (IZTO20) films could be lowered to approximately $6{\times}10^{-4}ohm{\cdot}cm$ without sacrificing optical transparency and still maintaining amorphous structure through the optimization of process variables. The growth rate was kept at about 8 nm/min while the oxygen-to-argon pressure ratio varied from 0% to 7.5%. As-deposited films were always amorphous and showed strong oxygen pressure dependence of electrical resistivity and electron concentration values. Influence of forming gas anneal (FGA) at medium temperatures was also studied and proven effective in improving electrical properties. In this study, the chemical composition of the targets and the films varied around the $In_{0.6}Zn_{0.2}Sn_{0.2}O_{1.5}$ (IZTO20). It was the main objective of this paper to investigate how off-stoichiometry affected TCO characteristics including electrical resistivity and optical transmission. In addition to the composition effect, we have also studied how film properties changed with processing variables. IZTO thin films have shown their potential as a possible alternative to ITO thin films, in such way that they could be adopted in some applications where currently ITO and IZO thin films are being used. Our experimental results are compared to those obtained for commercial ITO thin films from solar cell application view point.

  • The Indium Zinc Tin Oxide (IZTO) thin films for flexible display electrode were deposited on poly carbonate (PC) and polyethersulfone(PES) and glass substrates at room temperature by facing targets sputtering (FTS). Two different kinds of targets were installed on FTS system. One is ITO ($In_2O_3$ 90 wt.%, $SnO_2$ 10 wt.%), the other is IZO ($In_2O_3$ 90 wt.%, ZnO 10 wt.%). As-deposited IZTO thin films were investigated by a UV/VIS spectrometer, an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), an atomic force microscope (AFM) and a Hall Effect measurement system. As a result, we could prepare the IZTO thin films with the resistivity of under $10^{-4}\;[{\Omega}{\cdot}cm]$ and IZTO thin films deposited on glass substrate showed an average transmittance over 80% in visible range (400~800 nm) in all IZTO thin films except in IZTO thin film deposited at $O_2$ gas flow rate of 0.1[sccm].

  • 플라즈마 화학증착법을 이용하여 Corning glass 1737 기판에 안티몬 도핑 산화주석 박막을 증착하였다. 플라즈만 화학증착시 반응변수에 따른 박막의 결정상 및 형성된 표면거칠기에 대하여 XRD와 AFM을 이용하여 검토하였다. 반응온도 $450^{\circ}C$, 유입가스비 R[$P_{SbCl}P_{{SnCl}_4}$]=1.12, r.f. power 30W에서 비교적 결정성이 뛰어난 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 화학증착법(TCVD)에 비해 플라즈마 열화학증착법(PECVD)으로 얻은 박막의 표현형상이 보다 균일하였다. 안티몬 도핑농도가 증가할수록, 증착온고가 낮을수록, 증착두께가 작을수록 박막의 표면거칠기가 보다 감소하였다.

  • 유기금속분해법(MOD, Metal Organic Decomposition)에 의하여 ITO 박막을 제조하고 SnO$_2$의 조성과 소성온도의 변화에 따른 박막의 특성변화를 고찰하였다. SnO$_2$의 양이 변하여도 ITO는 In$_2$O$_3$의 결정구조를 유지하고 있었으며, 이로부터 Sn이 In자리를 치환하여 고용체를 형성함을 알 수 있었다. SnO$_2$를 9wt.% 첨가 하였을때 비저항이 2.5$\times$$10^{-3}$$\Omega$-cm로 가장 낮은 값을 보였으며, 이는 타 연구자들의 결과치 보다 약 10배정도 큰 값이다. 이러한 비저항값의 차이는 작은 입경으로 인한 이동도의 감소 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 투광도는 SnO$_2$의 첨가량 및 소성온도에 크게 의존하지 않았으며 가시영역에서 90% 이상을 보였다. 광흡수단으로부터 계산된 optical energy gap은 4.51-4.96eV 이었다.

  • Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) was substitutes of the SnO2:F films on soda lime glass substrate in the photovoltaic devices such as CIGS, CdTe and DSSC due to good properties and low cost. However, it was reported that the electrical resistivity of GZO is unstable above $300^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere. To improve thermal stability of GZO thin films at high temperature above $300^{\circ}C$ an $TiO_2$ thin film was deposited on the top of GZO thin films as a barrier layer by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) method. $TiO_2$ thin films were deposited at various thicknesses from 25 nm to 100 nm. Subsequently, these films were annealed at temperature of $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere for 20 min. The XRD measurement results showed all the films had a preferentially oriented ( 0 0 2 ) peak, and the intensity of ( 0 0 2 ) peak nearly did not change both GZO (300 nm) single layer and $TiO_2$ (50 nm)/GZO (300 nm) double layer. The resistivity of GZO (300 nm) single layer increased from $7.6{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}m$ (RT) to $7.7{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}m$ ($500^{\circ}C$). However, in the case of the $TiO_2$ (50 nm)/GZO (300 nm) double layer, resistivity showed small change from $7.9{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}m$ (RT) to $5.2{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}m$ ($500^{\circ}C$). Meanwhile, the average transmittance of all the films exceeded 80% in the visible spectrum, which suggests that these films will be suitable for photovoltaic devices.
