In this study, using a tin chloride solution as the raw material, a nano-sized tin oxide powder with an average particle size below 50 nm is generated by a spray pyrolysis process. The properties of the tin oxide powder according to the nozzle tip size are examined. Along with an increase in the nozzle tip size from 1 mm to 5 mm, the generated particles that appear in the shape of droplets maintain an average particle size of 30 nm. When the nozzle tip size increases from 1 mm to 2 mm, the average size of the generated particles is around 80-100 nm, and the ratio of the independent particles with a compact surface structure increases significantly. When the nozzle tip size is at 3 mm, the majority of the generated particles maintain the droplet shape, the average size of the droplet-shaped particles increases remarkably compared to the cases of other nozzle tip sizes, and the particle size distribution also becomes extremely irregular. When the nozzle tip size is at 5 mm, the ratio of droplet-shaped particles decreases significantly and most of the generated particles are independent ones with incompact surface structures. Along with an increase in the nozzle tip size from 1 mm to 3 mm, the XRD peak intensity increases, whereas the specific surface area decreases greatly. When the nozzle tip size increases up to 5 mm, the XRD peak intensity decreases significantly, while the specific surface area increases remarkably.

In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using printed Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) film as a remote sensor for Hazardous and Noxious Substances (HNS). To improve the quality of the ITO films, binder mixing ratio, Sn concentration in ITO, thermal treatment temperature, and printing process conditions were optimized. We fabricated an electrical resistance-type liquid sensor, and to confirm the sensor operation, the change in resistance in air and seawater was monitored. The change in resistance of the ITO sensor was explained in terms of reduction reaction on the surface. Further, the sensor was controlled by Arduino, and the remote data acquisition was demonstrated.

Indium tin oxide (ITO), Indium zinc oxide (IZO) 박막은 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링 시스템을 이용하여 유리기판 위에 증착되었으며, Indium-zinc-tin oxide (IZTO) 박막은 두 개의 캐소드(DC, RF)를 사용한 마그네트론 이원동시방전 시스템에 의해 증착되었다. 모든 박막은 상온 증착 후 $200^{\circ}C$에서 후열처리 되었으며, IZO에 Sn이 소량 첨가됨에 따라 IZO보다 더 낮은 비저항을 갖는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The micron-sized ITO(indium tin oxide) particles were prepared by spray pyrolysis from aqueous precursor solutions for indium, and tin and organic additives solution. Organic additives solution with citric acid(CA) and ethylene glycol(EG) were added to aqueous precursor solution for Indium and Tin. The obtained ITO particles prepared by spray pyrolysis from the aqueous solution without organic additives solution had spherical and filled morphologies whereas the obtained ITO particles with organic additives solution had more hollow and porous morphologies with increasing mole of organic additives. The micron-sized ITO particle with organic additives was changed fully to nano-sized ITO particle whereas the micron-sized ITO particle without organic additives was not changed fully to nano-sized ITO particle after post-treatment at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours and wet-ball milling for 24 hours. The size of primary ITO particle by Debye-Scherrer formula and surface resistance of ITO pellet were measured.

Indium tin oxide(ITO) surface treated by Oxygen plasma has been in situ analyzed using XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and EDS(Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy), to investigate the relations between the properties of the ITO surface and the properties of OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode). We measured electrical resistivity using Four-Point-Probe and calculated sheet resistance, and ITO surface roughness was measured by AFM(Atomic Force Microscope). We fabricated OLED using substrate that was treated optimum ITO surface. The plasma treatment of the ITO surface lowered the operating voltage of the OLED. We have obtained an improvement of luminance and decrease of turn-on voltage.

The Indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited on CR39 substrate using DC magnetron sputtering. ITO thin films deposited at room temperature because CR39 substrates its glass-transition temperature of is $130^{\circ}C$.

Solution processed zinc tin oxide (ZTO) thin films were studied using a spin coating for the fabrication of thin film transistors and simple circuits. The solution processed thin film transistors (W/L = 100/10 ${\mu}m$) have the average saturation mobility of 1.9 $cm^2$/Vs, threshold voltage of 20 V, and subthreshold slope of 0.5 V/decade. The dc characteristics of an inverter with $W_{load}=100\;{\mu}m$ and $W_{drive}=10\;{\mu}m$, measured under votage supply of $V_{DD}$ = +50 V. The inverter beta ratio is 20 ($R=(W_{drived}/L_{drive})/(W_{load}/L_{load})=20$) and $gain_{max}$ is 2. The characteristics of an oscillator were measured under voltage supply of $V_{DD}$ = +60 V.

We propose glass and PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) chips for DNA amplification with continuous-flow PCR (polymerase chain reaction). The PDMS microchannel was fabricated using a negative molding method for sample injection. Three heaters and sensors of ITO (indium-tin-oxide) thin films were fabricated on glass chip. ITO heaters and sensors were calibrated accurately for the temperature control of the liquid flow. ITO heater generated stable heat versus applied power. ITO sensor resistance was changed linearly versus temperature increase as a RTD (resistance temperature detector) sensor. As a result, we enable precision temperature control of continuous-flow PCR chip. Using the continuous-flow PCR chip DNA plasmid pKS-GFP 720 bp was successfully amplified.

We have developed an electrochemical immunosensor that combines the electrocatalytic property of carbon nanotube and the low background current of indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. A partial monolayer of carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotube (CCNT) is covalently formed on an ITO electrode modified with amine-terminated phosphonic acid. Nonspecifically adsorbed avidin on the hydrophobic sidewalls of CCNT is used to immobilize biotinylated antibody and to reduce the nonspecific binding to CCNT. The biotinylated antimouse IgG bound on avidin and the antimouse IgG conjugated with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) sandwiches a target mouse IgG. ALP catalyzes the conversion of p-aminophenyl phosphate monohydrate into p-aminophenol, which is electrocatalytically oxidized to p-quinone imine on CCNT surface. Moderate electrocatalytic electrode obtained with the combination of CCNT and ITO allows low detection limit (0.1 ng/ mL).

Optical and electrical properties were studied for Antimony doped tin oxide thin films from precursors containing 10, 30, 50, and 70 atom% of Sb deposited on bare sodalime silica, barrier layer coated sodalime silica, and pure silica glass substrates by sol-gel spinning technique. The direct band gaps were found to vary from 3.13~4.12 eV when measured in the hv range of 2.5~5.0 eV, and varied from 4.22~5.08 eV when measured in the range of 4.0~7.0 eV. Indirect band gap values were in the range of 2.35~3.11 eV. Blue shift of band gap with respect to bulk band gap and Moss-Burstein shift were observed. Physical thickness of the films decreased with the increase in % Sb. Resistivity of the films deposited on SLS substrate was in the order of $10^{-2}$ ohm cm. Sheet resistance of the films deposited on barrier layer coated soda lime silica glass substrate was found to be relatively less.
