For use of superstrate thin-film solar cells, surface texture of the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) has been used to enhance short-circuit currents by increasing light trapping into the cell. ZnO:Al films were deposited by using DC magnetron sputtering on glass substrates with ceramic (ZnO:$Al_2O_3$) target. The as-deposited TCO before texturing exhibited high transparencies (T > 85% for visible light including all reflection losses) and excellent electrical properties ($r=3-6{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}.cm$). The optical and electrical properties of the TCO are influenced by the texturing conditions such as not only etchant dilutions but also etching time. We obtained the haze value of 14-16 resulting in increase in light trapping and short-circuit currents also.

Amorphous silicon is a kind of optical to electric conversion material with current or voltage type after generating a numerous free electron and hole when it is injected by light. It is very effective technology to make schottky diode by bonding thin film to use optical diode. In this paper, we have fabricated optical diode device by forming chrome silicide film through thermal processing with thin film($100{\AA}$) having optimal amorphous silicon. The optimal condition is that we make a thin film by using PECVD(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) to improve reliability and characteristics of optical diode. We have obtained high quality diode by using chrome silicide optical diode from dark current and optical current measurement compared to previous method. It makes a simple process and improves a good reliability.

In this work, the effect of sputtering working pressure for the tellurium film and its thin-film transistor was investigated. The transfer characteristics of tellurium thin-film transistors were improved by increasing the working pressure during sputtering process. As increasing working pressure, physical and optical properties of Te films such as crystallinity, transmittance, and surface roughness were improved. Therefore, the improved transfer characteristics of Te thin-film transistors may originate from both improved interface properties between the silicon oxide gate dielectric layer and the tellurium active layer with an improved quality of Te film. In conclusion, the control of working pressure during sputtering would be important for obtaining high-performance tellurium-based thin film transistor

본 연구에서는 박막 패턴의 히터를 반도체 공정 기술을 이용하여 소형 백금 박막 히터를 실리콘 기판 상에 제작하고 박막히터의 인가전압, 전력, 온도의 열특성을 측정 분석하였다. 박막 패턴 히터의 온도는 전력 증가에 따라서 증가하였으나 높은 전력구간에서는 온도 증가율이 완만해지는 결과를 확인하였다. 백금 박막 패턴 히터의 고온구간의 특성은 측정 환경에 의한 영향으로서 대기분위기와 진공분위기에서 측정한 결과를 열저항 모델을 이용하여 열특성을 해석하였다. 진공분위기에서 측정한 경우가 열저항값 0.79 [K/mW]로서 대기분위기에서의 열저항 값 0.69 [K/mW]보다 높게 측정되었다. 대기분위기보다는 진공분위기에서 낮은 전력으로 박막 패턴 히터의 온도를 유지할 수 있었고 이들 결과는 박막 패턴 히터 소자의 구조 설계에 활용이 기대된다.

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.

Mono-crystalline silicon(mono-Si) is both abundant in our environment and an excellent material for Si device applications. However, single crystalline silicon solar cell has been considered to be expensive for terrestrial applications. For that reason, the last few years have seen very rapid progress in the research and development activities of layer transfer(LT) processes. Thin film Si layers which can be detached from a reusable mono-Si wafers served as a substrate for epitaxial growth. The epitaxial films have a very high efficiency potential. LT technology is a promising approach to reduce fabrication cost with high efficiency at large scale since expensive Si substrate can be recycled. Low quality Si can be used as a substrate. Therefore, we propose one of the major technologies on fabricating thin film Si substrate using a LT. In this paper, we study the LT method using the electrochemical etching(ECE) and solid edge.

Micro tensile test specimens of thin film single crystal silicon for the most useful structural materials in MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) devices were fabricated using SOI (Silicon-on-Insulator) wafers and MEMS processes. Dimensions of micro tensile test specimens were thickness of $7\mu\textrm{m}$, width of 50~$350\mu\textrm{m}$, and length of 2mm. Top and bottom silicon were etched using by deep RIE (Reactive Ion Etching). Thin film aluminum markers on testing region of specimens with width of $5\mu\textrm{m}$, lengths of 30~$180\mu\textrm{m}$ and thickness of 200 nm for measuring tensile strain were fabricated by aluminum wet etching method. Fabricated side wall angles of aluminum marker were about $45^{\circ}~50^{\circ}$. He-Ne laser with wavelength of 633nm was used for checking fringed patterns.

Thin films of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si : H) and hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) of different compositions were deposited on Si(100) wafer and glass by RF plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD). In the present work, we have investigated the effects of the RF power on the properties, such as optical band gap, transmittance and crystallinity. The Raman data show that the a-Si:H material consists of an amorphous and crystalline phase for the co-presence of two peaks centered at 480 and $520 cm^{-1}$ . The UV-VIS data suggested that the optical energy band gap ($E_{g}$ ) is not changed effectively with RF power and the obtained $E_{g}$(1.80eV) of the $\mu$c-Si:H thin film has almost the same value of a-Si:H thin film (1.75eV), indicating that the crystallity of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film can mainly not affected to their optical properties. However, the experimental results have shown that$ E_{g}$ of the a-SiC:H thin films changed little on the annealing temperature while $E_{g}$ increased with the RF power. The Raman spectrum of the a-SiC:H thin films annealed at high temperatures showed that graphitization of carbon clusters and microcrystalline silicon occurs.

저압 화학 기상 증착법을 사용하여 $WF_6$의 환원반응으로 텅스텐 박막을 p형 실리콘 (100)표면위에 증착하였다. Cold-wall조건에서는 실리콘 기판과 $SiH_4$를 각각 이용하여 $WF_6$를 환원시켜 텅스텐 박막을 증착하였으며 hot-wall 조건에서는 $WF_6$를 $SiH_4$로 환원시켜 증착하였다. 박막의 결정구조는 어느 조건에서나 체심입방구조를 이루었으며, 증착조건에 따른 박막의 물리적 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 증착된 박막을 온도 $800^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 결과 hot-wall 조건의 박막이 $WSi_2$로 변화하였다. Hot-wall과 cold-wall조건에서의 박막을 분석한 결과 박막의 특성은 cold-wall조건이 우수하나 hot-wall조건에서는 열처리 방법에 의하여 실리콘 기판과 적합성이 우수한 것으로 알려진 $WSi_2$ 박막의 제조가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
