The old technique of sandblasting which has been used for decoration of glass surface has recently been developed into a powder blasting technique for brittle materials such as glass, silicon and ceramics, capable of producing micro structures larger than 100${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. In this study, we introduced oblique powder blasting, and investigated the effect of the impacting angle of particles, the scanning times and the stand-off distance on the surface roughness and the weight-loss rate of samples with no mask, and the wall profile and overetching of samples with different mask pattern in powder blasting of soda-lime glass. The varying parameters were the different impact angles between 50$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$, scanning times of nozzle up to 40 and the stand-off distances 70mm and 100mm. The widths of mask pattern were 0.2mm, 0.5mm and 1mm. The powder was alumina sharp particles, WA #600. The mass flow rate of powder during the erosion test was fixed constant at 175g/min and the blasting pressure of powder at 0.2Mpa.

The photovoltaic properties of CIES cells on alumina substrate were improved by using the Na-doped Mo as theabotom layer of hilo back contact. Na was supplied to the CIGS bulk region from alumina/Na-doped Mo/Mo/alumina? structure, as same assimilar to the Na diffusion from soda-lime glass. The content diffusion of Na from Na-doped bfo was smaller more controlled than that from SLG. These Our results indicate that Na-doped bfo act as Na source material and contents of Na amount can be controlled without the use of an alkali barrier layer. The best CIGS solar cell with conversion efficiency of 13.34%, $J_{sc}=34.62mA/cm^2,\;V_{oc}=0.58V$ and FF=66% for an active area of $0.45cm^2$ on the alumina substrate was obtained in the condition of for 100nm Na-doped Mo/1000nm Mo.

Transparent conducting ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) thin films were prepared on soda lime glass by reactive dc magnetron sputtering mothod. The maaterial properties were measured by the X-ray diffraction meter (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) scanning. As a resuIts, the (400) park for $O_2 gas rate 2% grows uniquely as the preferred orientaon. However, the (400) peak exists at $O_2 gas rate 5% as well as the (222) peak appears abruptly as the main orietation. Both <100> and <111> grain alignments are consisted simultaneously in the XRE pattern of ITO thin films. The electrical charcteristics were esimated by the electrical resistivity, optical transmission, and Hall mobillty, ect. The resistivity of ITO thin film deposited at 4cm from the substrate center is increased from $2\times10^-4$ to $8\times10^-4\Omega$cm as a function of $O_2$ gas pressure (0~5%). The optical transmission curves with a rising of $O_2$ gas rate become shifted into longer wavelength range.

An alkaline activator was synthesized by dissolving waste glass powder (WGP) in NaOH-4M solution to explore its effects on the Class-C fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) based alkali-activated material (AAM). The compressive strength and porosity were measured, and (SEM-EDX) were used to study the hydration mechanism and microstructure. Results indicated that the composition of alkali solutions was significant in enhancing the properties of the obtained AAM. As the amount of dissolved WGP increased in alkaline solution, the silicon concentration increased, causing the accelerated reactivity of FA/GGBS to develop Ca-based hydrate gel as the main reaction product in the system, thereby increasing the strength. Further increase in WGP dissolution led to strength loss, which were believed to be due to the excessive water demand of FA/GGBS composites to achieve optimum mixing consistency. Increasing the GGBS proportion in a composite also appeared to improve the strength which contributed to develop C-S-H-type hydration.

Nano/micro friction with the contact area was studied on Si-wafer (100) and diamond-like carbon (DLC) film. Borosilicate balls of radii $0.32{\mu}m,\;0.5{\mu}m,\;1.25{\mu}m\;and\;2.5{\mu}m$ mounted on the top of AFM tip (NPS) were used for nano-scale contact and Soda Lime glass balls of radii 0.25mm, 0.5mm, 1mm were used for micro-scale contact. At nano-scale, the friction between ball and surface was measured with the applied normal load using an atomic force microscope (AFM), and at micro scale it was measured using ball-on flat type micro-tribotester. All the experiments were conducted at controlled conditions of temperature $(24\pm1^{\circ}C)$ and humidity $(45\pm5\%)$. Friction was measured as a function of applied normal load in the range of 0-160nN at nano scale and in the range of $1000{\mu}N,\; 1500{\mu}N,\;3000{\mu}N\;and\;4800{\mu}N$ at micro scale. Results showed that the friction at nano scale increased with the applied normal load and ball size for both kinds of samples. Similar behavior of friction with the applied normal load and ball size was observed for Si-wafer at micro scale. However, for DLC friction decreased with the ball size. This difference of in behavior of friction in DLC nano- and microscale was attribute to the difference in the operating mechanisms. The evidence of the operating mechanisms at micro-scale were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). At micro-scale, solid-solid adhesion was dominant in Silicon-wafer, while plowing in DLC. Contrary to the nano scale that shows almost a wear-less situation, wear was prominent at micro-scale. At nano- and micro-scale, effect of contact area on the friction was discussed with the different applied normal load and ball size.

최근 들어 세계적인 고유가 행진과 화석연료 고갈에 대응하기 위하여 대체 에너지원 발굴에 대한 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 그 중 CIGS 박막 태양전지는 미래 신재생 에너지 자원의 가장 유망한 후보군 중 하나이다. 기존의 Si 기반의 태양전지의 경우 시간경과에 따른 효율 저하, 높은 재료비, 복잡한 공정으로 인하여 대량생산이 힘든 단점을 가지고 있다. 반면 박막 태양전지의 경우 생산 원가를 낮출 수 있는 태양전지 제조기술로서는 2세대 태양전지로 불리우며, 에너지 변환 효율과 생산 원가에서 우월성을 가진다. 그리고 이러한 CIGS 박막 태양전지를 단일 CIGS 타겟을 이용하여 스퍼터링 공정으로 제작하면 기존에 사용되었던 동시 증발법에 비해서 간단하고 대면적 코팅 및 대량 생산이 가능하다. 본 연구에서 사용된 기판으로는 $25{\times}25mm$ 크기의 Soda Lime Glass (SLG) 위에 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링 공정으로 Mo가 $1{\mu}m$ 증착된 시편을 이용하여, 2 inch 단일 CIGS 타겟 (MATERION, CIGS Target 25-17.5-7.5-50 at%)을 기판 가열하여 증착하였다. RF 파워는 80 W, 기판 온도는 RT, 100, 200, 300, $400^{\circ}C$로 가열 후 증착하였고, CIGS 박막의 두께는 약 $1{\mu}m$로 일정하게 하였다. CIGS/Mo 박막의 파워별 미세구조 분석을 위해 X-ray Diffraction (XRD, BRUKER GADDS)로 측정하였으며, 박막의 결정립 크기를 확인하기 위해 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM, HITACHI)을 사용하여 측정하였다. 조건별 박막의 조성 분석 및 표면조도는 Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS, HORIBA 7395-H)와 Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)을 이용하여 각각 평가하였다. 마지막으로 광학적 특성을 평가하고 박막의 밴드갭 에너지를 계산하기 위해서 190 nm에서 1,100 nm의 영역 대에서 자외선 광학 측정기(UV-Vis, HP-8453, AGLIENT)로 투과도를 측정하여 밴드갭 에너지를 계산하였다. 증착된 CIGS 박막은 기판 온도가 증가함에 따라 결정립 크기가 커지는 경향을 보였다. 이는 기판 상에 도달한 스퍼터 원자의 확산 에너지 증가로 인한 것으로 생각되어진다. 또한, 기판온도에 따른 결정립 성장 변화는 4성분계의 박막의 조성 및 핵생성 밀도와 관련되어 설명되어질 것이다.

The application of BZO (Boron-doped Zinc Oxide) films use as the TCO(Transparent Conductive Oxide) material for display and solar cell industries, where the conductivity of the BZO films plays a critical role for improvement of cell performance. Thin BZO films are deposited on glass substrates by using RF sputter system. Then charging flow rates of O2 gas from zero to 10 sccm, thereby controlling the impurity concentration of BZO. BZO deposited on soda lime glass and RF power was 300 W, frequency was 13.56 MHz, and working pressure was $5.0{\times}10-6$ Torr. The Substrate and glass between distance 200 mm. We measured resistivity, conductivity, mobility by hall measurement system. Optical properties measured by photo voltaic device analysis system. We measured surface build according to oxygen flow rate from XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) system. The profile of the energy distribution of the electrons emitted from BZO films by the Auger neutralization is measured and rescaled so that Auger self-convolution arises, revealing the detail structure of the valence band. It may be observed coefficient ${\gamma}$ of the secondary electron emission from BZO by using ${\gamma}$-FIB (Gamma-Focused Ion Beam) system. We observed the change in electrical conductivity by correlation of the valence band structure. Therefore one of the key issues in BZO films may be the valence band that detail structure dominates performance of solar cell devices. Demonstrating the secondary electron emission by the Auger neutralization of ions is useful for the determination of the characteristics of BZO films for solar cell and display developments.

High-efficiency in $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) solar cells were usually achieved on soda-lime glass substrates due to Na incorporation that reduces deep-level defects. However, this supply of sodium from sodalime glass to CIGS through Mo back electrode could be limited at low deposition temperature. Na content could be more precisely controlled by supplying Na from known amount of an outside source. For the purpose, an $Na_2S$ layer was deposited on Mo electrode prior to CIGS film deposition and supplied to CIGS during CIGS film. With the $Na_2S$ underlayer a more uniform component distribution was possible at $350^{\circ}C$ and efficiency was improved compared to the cell without $Na_2S$ layer. With more precise control of bulk and surface component profile, CIGS film can be deposited at low temperature and could be useful for flexible CIGS solar cells.

Multilayered films of ITO (In₂O₃:SnO₂ = 9:1)/SiO₂ were deposited on soda-lime glass by RF/DC magnetron sputtering at 500℃ to improve the energy conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The light absorption of the dye was improved by decrease in light reflectance from the surface of the DSSCs by using an ITO film. In order to estimate the optical characteristics and compare them with experimental results, a simulation program named EMP (essential macleod program) was used. EMP results revealed that the multilayered thin films showed high transmittance (approximate average transmittance of 79%) by adjusting the SiO₂ layer thickness. XRD results revealed that the ITO and TiO₂ films exhibited a crystalline phase with (400) and (101) preferred orientations at 2 θ = 26.24° and 35.18°, respectively. The photocurrent-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the DSSCs were measured under AM 1.5 and 100 mW/cm² (1 sun) by using a solar simulator. The DSSC fabricated on the ITO film with a 0.1-nm-thick SiO₂ film showed a Voc of 0.697 V, J_sc of 10.596 mA/cm² , FF of 66.423, and calculated power conversion efficiency (η_AM1.5) of 5.259%, which was the maximum value observed in this study.
