A thin film transistor (TFT) has been fabricated using the amorphous 0.5 wt% Si doped zinc-tin-oxide (a-0.5 SZTO) with different electrodes made of either aluminium (Al) or titanium/aluminium(Ti/Al). Contact resistance and total channel resistance of a-0.5SZTO TFTs have been investigated and compared using the transmission line method (TLM). We measured the total resistance of 1.0×10² Ω/cm using Ti/Al electrodes. This result is due to Ti, which is a material known for its adhesion layer. We found that the Ti/Al electrode showed better contact characteristics between the channel and electrodes compared with that made of Al only. The former showed a less contact and total resistance. We achieved high performance of the TFTs characteristic, such as Vth of 2.6 V, field effect mobility of 20.1 cm² V⁻¹s⁻¹, S.S of 0.9 Vdecade⁻¹, and on/off current ratio of 9.7×10⁶ A. It was demonstrated that the Ti/Al electrodes improved performance of TFTs due to enhanced contact resistance.

The effects of dopant Al2O3 and surface roughness on the photoelectrochemical conversion of TiO2 ceramic electrodes were investigated. The photocurrent increased with increasing the amount of dopant Al2O3 up to 0.1wt% and 0.05wt% in the specimens reduced at 700$^{\circ}C$ and 800$^{\circ}C$, respectively, and then decreased. However, the photoresponse appeared around 415 nm, which very closely corresponds to the energy band gap of TiO2(∼3.0eV), regardless of reduction temperature and the amount of Al2O3. And the photocurrent increased with increasing surface roughness in the undoped TiO2 ceramic electrode.

In this study, we investigated the effect of electrodes on resistance switching of TaOx film. Pt, Ni, TiN, Ti and Al metal electrodes having the different oxidation degree were deposited on TaOx/Pt stack. Unipolar resistance switching behavior in Pt or Ni/TaOx/Pt MIM stacks was investigated, but bipolar resistance switching behavior in TiN, Ti or Al /TaOx/Pt MIM stacks was shown. We investigated that the voltage dependence of capacitance was decreased with higher oxidation degree of metal electrodes. Through the C-V results, we expected that linearity ($\alpha$) and quadratic ($\beta$) coefficient was reduced with an increase of interface layer between top electrode and Tantalum oxide. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) images depicted the thickness of interface layer formed with different oxidation degree of top electrode. Unipolar resistance switching behavior shown in lower oxidation degree of top electrode was expected to be generated by the formation of the conducting path in TaOx film. But redox reaction in interface between top electrode and Tantalum oxide may play an important role on bipolar resistance switching behavior exhibited in higher oxidation degree of top electrode. We expected that the resistance switching characteristics were determined by oxidation degree of metal electrodes.

최근에 염료감응형 태양전지(dye-sensitized solar cells, DSSCs)의 에너지 변환 효율을 증가시키기 위한 방법으로 흡착된 염료에서 발생되는 광전자가 전해질 속의 산화/환원되는 요오드 이온($I_3^-/I^-$)과의 재결합(recombination)을 방지하기 위하여 발생된 광전자를 효율적으로 $TiO_{2}$ 전극을 통해 이동시키는 방법에 관한 연구가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 재결합을 방지하기 위하여, 졸-겔(sol-gel)법으로 합성한 보헤마이트(bohemite) 졸을 이용하여 $TiO_{2}$ 전극에 비해 높은 에너지 밴드갭(band-gap)을 가지고 있는 $Al_2O_3$가 코팅된 이중층의 다공질 나노 $TiO_{2}$ 전극을 제조하고 염료감응형 태양전지에 응용하였다. 특히, 다양한 입자의 크기가 조절된 보헤마이트 졸을 통해 최고의 에너지 변환 효율을 가진 $Al_2O_3$가 코팅된 $TiO_{2}$ 광전극 제조 조건을 조사하였다. 입자 크기 100 nm 보헤마이트 졸로부터 제조한 $Al_2O_3$가 코팅된 $TiO_{2}$ 전극이 순수 $TiO_{2}$로 제조한 광전극 층(7.5%)에 비해 높은 에너지 변환 효율(9.0%)을 보였다.

등 간격을 갖는 동일한 구조의 $Ti:LinbO_3$ 세 도파로와 그 위에 CPW 구조 Al 전극을 갖는 광스위치를 설계, 제작, 실험하였다. z-cut $LinbO_3$ 기판상에 $1025^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 동안 Ti 패턴을 확산시킨 세 도파로 방향성 결합기를 제작하였다. TM 모드의 전파 손실을 줄이기 위해 $1.2{\mu}m$ 두께의 $SiO_2$ 박막을 PECVD로 증착시킨 후, 그 위에 광스위칭을 위하여 Al 전극을 형성시켰다. ${\lambda}=1.3{\mu}m$의 입사광에 대해서 거의 완벽한 광 coupling이 두 바깥 도파로 사이에서 일어났다. 새 도파로를 반대칭적으로 detuning 되도록 전계가 가해졌을 때 광 스위칭 현상이 일어남을 확인하였다.

$(Sr_{0.85}Ca_{0.15})TiO_3$(SCT) thin films were deposited on Pt-coated $TiO_2/SiO_2/Si$ wafer by the rf sputtering method. Experiments were conducted to investigate the electrical properties of SCT thin films with various top electrodes. Various top electrodes as Pt, Al, Ag, Cu were deposited on SCT thin films by sputter and thermal evaporator. The characteristics of C-F and C-V of SCT thin films were not obviously varied with various top electrodes, SCT thin films annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ represents as favorable capacitance characteristics than SCT thin films not annealed, and Pt top electrode have the most high capacitance. The characteristic of I-V of SCT thin films showed that Pt top electrode revealed more less leakage current density than other electrodes, had a leakage current density below 10-8$[A/cm^2]$ until 25[V] applied voltage.

본 연구에서는 DNA 정보를 상변화 물질의 전기저항 변화특성으로 검출할 수 있는 상변화 전극 기판을 개발하였다. 이를 위해 반도체 공정에서 사용하는 Al을 사용하여 전극 기판을 제작하였다. 하지만 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 Al 전극의 단면 상태를 확인해 본 결과 PETEOS(plasma enhanced tetraethyoxysilane) 내에서 보이드(void)가 발생하여 후속공정인 에치백과 세정공정 분위기에 과도하게 노출되어 심하게 손상되어 전극과 PETEOS 사이에 홀(hole)로 변형된다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 에치백 및 세정 공정을 진행하지 않으면서 $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$(GST) 박막의 단차피복성(stepcoverage)을 좋게 할 수 있고, 열역학적으로 GST 박막과의 반응성을 고려했을 때 안정적이면서 비저항이 낮은 TiN 재료를 사용하여 상변화 전극 기판을 제작하였다. 주사전자현미경을 통하여 전극의 단면의 상태를 관찰하였으며 TiN 전극과 GST 박막이 정상적으로 연결되어 있는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 저항측정 장비를 사용하여 TiN 상변화 전극 기판 위에 증착된 GST의 비정질과 결정질의 저항을 측정하였고, GST의 비정질과 결정질저항의 차이는 약 1,000배 정도로 신호를 검출하는데 충분함을 확인하였다.

Epitaxial rutile-$TiO_2$ and anatase-$TiO_2$ films were grown at $800^{\circ}C$ on $Al_2O_3$ (1102) and $LaAlO_3$ (001), respectively, using pulsed laser deposition. The formation of different phases on different substrates could be qualitatively explained by the atomic arrangements at the interfaces. We also successfully deposited epitaxial rutile-$TiO_2$ and anatase-$TiO_2$ films on conductive $RuO_2$ and $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3}$ electrodes, respectively. Using a Kelvin probe, we measured the photovoltaic properties of these multilayer structures. A rutile-$TiO_2$ film grown on $RuO_2$ showed a very broad peak in the visible light region. An epitaxial anatase-$TiO_2$ film grown on $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3}$ showed a strong peak with a threshold energy of 3.05 eV.
