We prepared highly transparent and conductive Oxide/Metal/Oxide(OMO) multilayer by sputtering and developed wet etching process of OMO with a clear edge shape for the first time. The transmittance and sheet-resistance of the OMO are about 89% and $3.3\;{\Omega}/sq.$, respectively. We adopted OMO as a gate electrode of transparent TFT (TTFT) array and integrated OLED on top of the TTFT to result in high aperture ratio of bottom emission AM-OLED.

High-efficient transparent conductive oxide (TCO) film-embedding Si heterojunction solar cells were fabricated. An additional doping was not applied for heterojunction solar cells due to the spontaneous junction formation between TCO films and an n-type Si substrate. Three different TCO coatings were formed by sputtering method for an Al-doped ZnO (AZO) film, an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) film and double stacks of ITO/AZO films. An improved crystalline ITO film was grown on an AZO template upon hetero-epitaxial growth. This double TCO films-embedding Si heterojunction solar cell provided significantly enhanced efficiency of 9.23% as compared to the single TCO/Si devices. The effective arrangement of TCO films (ITO/AZO) provides benefits of a lower front contact resistance and a smaller band offset to Si leading enhanced photovoltaic performances. This demonstrates a potential scheme of the effective TCO film-embedding heterojunction Si solar cells.

In order to avoid the high observability due to the cavity resonance or electromagnetic wave leakages from the bridge of a battleship or the cockpit of an aircraft, this paper presents a transparent conductive oxide coated structure to prevent the incoming/outgoing electromagnetic waves. Currently, most of the RCS reduction technologies were focused on radar absorbing material such as paints based on conductive or magnetic materials in the fuselage, and there is not much research on countermeasures for achieving the low observability of materials that required optical transparency in actual weapon systems. In this study, the transmission/reflection and absorption performance of the ITO coated structure according to the change of the surface resistance of the transparent conductor were analyzed. Finally, the relationship between the electromagnetic and optical characteristics was established through fabrication and measurement.

Transparent conducting oxide (TCO) 박막은 평판 디스플레이 산업에 널리 사용되고 있다. 화학적으로 우수한 투명전도성 indium zinc oxide (IZO) 필름은 현재 널리 사용되고 있는 indium tin oxide (ITO) 필름의 대체 물질로 관심을 끌고있다. 본 연구에서는 ITO에 비해 낮은 증착 온도에서도 낮은 비저항과 높은 투과율을 가지는 IZO 박막을 전자빔 증착법을 사용하여 polynorbornene (PNB) 기판(Tg = $330^{\circ}C$) 위에 증착하는 조건에 대하여 연구하였다. 90 : 10 wt%의 $In_2O_3$와 ZnO를 혼합하여 만든 타겟으로 전자빔 증착법을 이용하여 PNB 기판 위에 IZO 박막을 제조하여, 기판온도와 산소도입 속도에 따른 IZO 필름의 전기 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. 그 결과 4 sccm의 $O_2$, $150^{\circ}C$의 기판온도, 증착속도 $2{\AA}$/sec 및 $1000{\AA}$ 두께로 증착된 IZO 필름에서 우수한 전기 광학적 성질인 $5.446{\times}10^2{\Omega}/{\boxempty}$ 면저항 및 87.4% 광투과율을 얻을 수 있었다.

An Indium Zinc Oxide(IZO) transparent conductive layer was deposited on a large size glass substrate by using magnetron dc sputtering method with varying a deposition temperature. As the deposition temperature decreased to a room temperature, the sheet resistance of IZO film increased. But this deposition temperature range is included in an applicable to a device. From a standpoint of the sheet resistance, the differences of the sheet resistance were not great and the uniformity of the layer was uniformed around 10%. Crystallization particles were shown on the surface of the layer as deposition temperature increased, but these particles were not shown on the surface of the layer as deposition temperature decreased to the room temperature. It didn't make a scrap of difference in a transmittance of varying deposition temperature. Therefore, it is concluded that IZO thin film manufactured by the room temperature deposition condition can be used as a large size transparent conductive layer of a liquid crystal display device.

투명 전도성 산화물 전극(transparent conductive oxide electrodes)에 적용하기 위하여 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법에 의해 유리 기판 위에 산화아연 박막을 증착하였다. 투명 전극으로써 응용되기 위한 최적의 조건으로 기판온도를 상온으로 유지하고 RF power 200 W, 타겟과 기판사이의 거리(Dts)가 30 mm일 때 증착된 산화아연 박막으로부터 가장 낮은 비 저항값($7.4{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$)을 얻어 낼 수 있었으며, 85% 이상의 높은 투과율을 만족하는 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 실질적인 소자로써의 응용을 위해 photo lithography를 통한 pattern을 형성, 습식 식각을 통하여 그 특성을 알아보고자 하였다. 습식 식각에서 사용된 식각용액(etchant)으로는 다양한 산 용액(황산, 옥살산, 인산)을 사용하였으며, 산의 농도 변화에 따른 식각특성과 식각시간 및 식각 이미지(표면형상)의 변화를 알아보았다. 결과적으로 산화아연의 습식식각은 산의 종류와 무관하게 산 용액의 농도(즉, pH)에 크게 의존하며, pH가 증가함에 따라 식각율이 지수함수적으로 감소하고 아울러 다양한 식각 이미지가 나타남을 최초로 고찰할 수 있었다.

The thin film that is electrically conductive and optically transparent is called conductive transparent thin film. ITO(Indium-Tin Oxide) which is a kind of conductive transparent thin film has been widely used in solar cell, transparent electrical heater, selective optical filter, FDP(Flat Display Panel) such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), PDP(Plasma Display Panel) and so on. Especially in PDP, ITO films is used as a transparent electrode in order to maintain discharge and decrease consumption power through the improvement of cell structure. In this study, we prepared ITO by reactive r.f. sputtering with indium-tin(Sn wt 10%) alloy target instead of indium-tin oxide target. The ITO films deposited at low temperature $150^{\circ}C$ and 8% $O_2$ partial pressure showed about $3.6{\Omega}/{\square}$. At the end of firing, the resistance of ITO was decreased, the optical transparence was improved above 90%.

For effective light harvesting, a design weighting should be implemented in a front geometry, in which the incident light transmits from a surface into a light-active layer. We designed a three-dimensionally patterned transparent conductor layer for effective light management. A transparent conductive oxide (TCO) film was formed as three-dimensional structures. This efficiently drives the incident light at the front surface into a Si absorber to yield a reduction in reflection and an enhancement of current. This indicates that an optimum architecture for a front TCO surface will provide an effective way for light management in solar cells.

Aluminum-doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) is considered as an excellent candidate to replace Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), which is widely used as transparent conductive oxide (TCO) for electronic devices such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic solar cells (OSCs). In the present study, AZO thin film was applied to the transparent electrode of a channel-shaped flexible organic solar cell using a low-temperature selective-area atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. AZO thin films were deposited on Poly-Ethylene-Naphthalate (PEN) substrates with Di-Ethyl-Zinc (DEZ) and Tri-Methyl-Aluminum (TMA) as precursors and $H_2O$ as an oxidant for the atomic layer deposition at the deposition temperature of $130^{\circ}C$. The pulse time of TMA, DEZ and $H_2O$, and purge time were 0.1 second and 20 second, respectively. The electrical and optical properties of the AZO films were characterized as a function of film thickness. The 300 nm-thick AZO film grown on a PEN substrate exhibited sheet resistance of $87{\Omega}$/square and optical transmittance of 84.3% at a wavelength between 400 and 800 nm.

This double TCO-layered Si solar cell provided significantly enhanced efficiency of 9.23 % as compared to the single TCO/Si devices. The effective arrangement of TCO films (ITO/AZO) provides a good interface, resulting in the enhanced photovoltaic performances. It discusses TCO film arrangement scheme for efficient TCO-layered heterojunction solar cells.
