The structural, electrical and optical properties of Ti thin films fabricated by dual magnetron sputtering were investigated under various film thicknesses. The fabricated Ti thin films exhibited uniform surfaces, crystallinity, various grain sizes, and with various film thicknesses. Also, the crystallinity and grain size of the Ti thin films increased with the increase of film thickness. The electrical properties of Ti thin films improved with the increase of film thickness. The results showed that the performance of TCO-less DSSC critically depended on the film thickness of the Ti working electrodes, due to the conductivity of Ti thin film. However, the maximum conversion efficiency of TCO-less DSSC was exhibited at the condition of 100 nm thickness due to the surface scattering of photons caused by the variation of grain size.

In order to obtain a suitable back contacting electrode for $Cu(InGa)Se_2$-based photovoltaic devices, a molybdenum thin film was deposited using a chemical vapor transport (CVT) during the hydrogen reduction of $MoO_3$ powder. A $MoO_2$ thin film was successfully deposited on substrates by using the CVT of volatile $MoO_3(OH)_2$ at $550^{\circ}C$ for 60 min in a $H_2$ atmosphere. The Mo thin film was obtained by reduction of $MoO_2$ at $650^{\circ}C$ in a $H_2$ atmosphere. The Mo thin film on the substrate presented a low sheet resistance of approximately $1{\Omega}/sq$.

In the process of inkjet-printed zinc tin oxide thin-film transistor, the effect of metallic interlayer underneath of source and drain electrode was investigated. The reason for the improved electrical properties with thin molybdenum oxide ($MoO_3$) layer was due to the chemically intermixed state of metallic interlayer, aluminum source and drain, and oxide semiconductor together. The atomic configuration of three Mo $3d_3$ and $3d_5$ doublets, three different Al 2p core levels, two Sn $3d_5$, and four different types of oxygen O 1s in the interfaces among those layers was confirmed by X-ray photospectroscopy.

We report investigations on a Pentacene thin film as a component for active layer of Organic thin film transistors. Pentacene film was deposited by Organic Molecular Beam Deposition(OMBD) and Al electrode was deposoted by vacuum evaporation. Electrical characterization of Pentacene films were measured by the three-terminal contact resistance methods, as the results contact resistance between pentacene films and the Aluminium electrode is 5.064G$\Omega$. The Al contact with the pentacene shows the bottom contact resistance. From the current-voltage characteristics, electrical conductivity of the Pentacene film is found as ~ 10$^{-4}$ /cm. physical characterization of pentacene films were measured by UV-spectrum and Cyclic-Voltammetry method.

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.

Aluminium doped zinc oxide(ZnO:Al) thin film, which is mainly used as a transparent conducting electrode in electronic devices, has many advantages compared with conventional indium tin oxide(ITO). In this paper in order to investigate the possible application of ZnO:Al thin films as a transparent conducting electrode for flexible film-typed dye sensitized solar cell (FT-DSCs), ZnO:Al and ITO thin films were prepared on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate by r. f. magnetron sputtering method. Specially one-inched FT-DSCs using either a ZnO:Al or ITO electrode were also fabricated separately under the same manufacturing conditions. Some properties of both the FT-DSCs with ZnO:Al and ITO transparent electrodes, such as conversion efficiency, fill factor, and photocurrent were measured and compared with each other. The results showed that by doping the ZnO target with 2 wt% of $Al_2O_3$, the film deposited at discharge power of 200W resulted in the minimum resistivity of $2.2\times10^{-3}\Omega/cm$ and at ransmittance of 91.7%, which are comparable with those of commercially available ITO. Two types of FT-DSCs showed nearly the same tendency of I-V characteristics and the same value of conversion efficiencies. Efficiency of FT-DSCs using ZnO:Al electrode was around 2.6% and that of fabricated FT-DSCs using ITO was 2.5%. This means that ZnO:Al thin film can be used in FT-DSCs as a transparent conducting layer.

In this study, we proposed an a-IGZO (amorphous In-Ga-Zn-O) TFT (thin-film transistor) with off-planed source/drain structure. Furthermore, two different electrode materials (ITO and Ti) were applied to the source and drain contacts for performance improvement of a-IGZO TFTs. When the ITO with a large work-function and the Ti with a small work-function are applied to drain electrode and source contact, respectively, the electrical performances of a-IGZO TFTs were improved; an increased driving current, a decreased leakage current, a high on-off current ratio, and a reduced subthreshold swing. As a result of gate bias stress test at various temperatures, the off-planed S/D a-IGZO TFTs showed a degradation mechanism due to electron trapping and both devices with ITO-drain or Ti-drain electrode revealed an equivalent instability.

폴리아닐린(polyaniline, PANI) 전도성 고분자 용액을 camphorsulfonic acid(CSA)로 도핑하여 제조하였고 FTIR을 이용하여 고분자 중합 및 도핑유무를 확인하였다. 제조된 폴리아닐린을 스핀 코팅하여 유기박막 트랜지스터의 게이트 전극으로 사용하였으며, 열처리 온도변화에 따른 전기 전도도 변화를 4-probe measurement로 확인하였다. 또한 표면 특성을 이해하기 위해 atomic force microscope(AFM)와 optical microscope를 이용하였다. 폴리아닐린 게이트전극을 활용하여 얻은 유기박막 트랜지스터의 소자성능은 최고 이동도가 0.15 $cm^2$/Vs, 전류점멸비가 $2.4{\times}10^6$임을 확인하였다. 고분자 전극의 소지특성을 비교분석하기 위해, 같은 구조의 Au 전극소자를 제작하였다. Au 금속전극소자와 유사한 성능을 보인 폴리아닐렌 게이트 전극 소자는 플렉서블 유기박막 트랜지스터 전극으로 충분히 사용될 수 있다.
