We have deposited ZnO thin films by ultraviolet (UV) enhanced atomic layer deposition using diethylznic (DEZ) and water (H2O) as precursors with UV light. The atomic layer deposition relies on alternating dose of the precursor on the surface and subsequent chemisorption of the precursors with self-limiting growth mechanism. Though ALD is useful to deposition conformal and precise thin film, the surface reactions of the atomic layer deposition are not completed at low temperature in many cases. In this experiment, we focused on the effects of UV radiation during the ALD process on the properties of the inorganic thin films. The surface reactions were found to be complementary enough to yield uniform inorganic thin films and fully react between DEZ and H2O at the low temperature by using UV irradiation. The UV light was effective to obtain conductive ZnO film. And the stability of TFT with UV-enhanced ZnO was improved than ZnO by thermal ALD method. High conductive UV-enhanced ZnO film have the potential to applicability of the transparent electrode.

Fine structure of dormant and swollen conidiospore from Trichoderma koningii and the mechanism of protoplasting from the conidiospore were studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The cell wall of dormant conidiospore was two-layered structure which consisted of electron dense outer layer and electron transparent inner layer. After 8.5 hrs incubation. the conidiospore was swollen and the outer layer of cell wall shown unequal thickness and partial breakage. Protoplast was released through the pore which has been formed by the breakage of outer layer and dissolution of newly synthesized cell wall for germ-tube formation. Swollen conidiospore and protoplast in releasing process contained various cell organelles and vacuoles with electron dense materials. The protoplast contained looser cytoplasm and had no cell wall materials outside of plasmamembrane.

In this paper, (Ga,Al):ZnO layers were deposited by sputtering to evaluate the device performance according to the thickness of the layer. As the thickness increased, low transmittance was observed, but the electrical resistance was improved. On the other hand, the highest efficiency was recorded at 400 nm device than a 500 nm of it. Therefore, since the critical thickness exists, it is necessary to set an adequate TCO layer thickness in consideration of the characteristics of the underlying film and the device.

We report a method for improving characteristics of AC PDP in this study. This improvement is obtained by spreading MgO nanoparticles on transparent dielectric layer. These nanoparticles are covered with MgO protective layer by electron beam evaporation. MgO nanoparticle has difference in cathodoluminescence stronger than MgO layer by electron beam evaporation. This method worked for reducing statistical delay especially. Efficacy, discharge voltage and luminance were also improved But these improvements has limited lifetime because continuous ion bombardments changed characteristic of MgO surface.

The discharge electrodes in ac PDP are coated with dielectric layer, and transparent MgO thin films are deposited on the dielectric layer. The main role of the MgO thin films in ac PDP is to protect the dielectric layer from sputtering by ion bombardment in the glow-discharge plasma. An additional important role of the MgO thin film is the high secondary electron emission coefficient which leads the low firing voltage and low cost of the PDP. In this paper, we investigated the relations of the crystal orientation about deposition thickness, deposition rate, temperature of substrate, and distance between the MgO tablet and the substrate. Additionally, we investigated the discharge characteristics of the AC PDP using nano-powder MgO tablet

A fully integrable InP/InGaAs HPT with an ITO emitter contact was first fabricated by employing a $SiO_2$ passivation layer. The electrical and the optical characteristics of the HPT with a passivation layer were measured and compared with those of the HPT without a passivation layer. The only noticeable difference was the increased emitter series resistance of the HPT with a passivation layer. AES analysis was performed to explain the reason of the increased emitter series resistance. Results show that PECVD $SiO_2$ deposition and annealing processes cause the diffusion of oxygen to the interface and the depletion of tin at the interface, which may be responsible for the increase of the series resistance.

Low emissivity glass for high transparency in the visible range and low emissivity in the IR (infrared) range was fabricated and investigated. The multilayers were have been fabricated, and consisted of two outer oxide layers and a middle layer of Ag as a metal layer. Oxide layers were formed by rf sputtering and metal layers were formed using by an evaporator at room temperature. SiInZnO (SIZO) film was used as an oxide layer. The OMO (oxide-metaloxide) structures of SIZO/Ag/SIZO were analyzed by using transmittance, AFM (atomic force microscopye), and XRD (X-ray diffraction). The OMO multilayer structure was designed to investigate the effect of Ag layer thickness on the optical property of the OMO structure.

To use the GaN based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as solid state lighting sources, the improvement of light extraction and internal quantum efficiency is essential factors for high brightness LEDs. In this study, we suggested the new materials system of a zinc tin oxide (ZTO) layer formed on blue LED epi-structures to improve the light extraction. ZTO is a representative n-type oxide material consisted of ZnO and SnO system. Moreover, ZTO is one of the promising oxide semiconductor material. Even though ZTO has higher chemical stability than IGZO owing to its SnO2 content this has high mobility and high reliability. After formation of ZTO layer on p-GaN layer by using the spin coating method, structural and optical properties are investigated. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement results show the successful formation of ZTO. The photoluminescence (PL) and absorption spectrum shows that it has 3.6-4.1eV band gap. Finally, the light extraction properties of ZTO/LED chip using electroluminescence (EL) measurement were investigated. The experimental and theoretical analyses were simultaneously conducted.

We report a high-performance and air-stable flexible and invisible semiconductor which can be substitute for the n-type organic semiconductors. N-type organic-inorganic nanohybrid superlattices were developed for active semiconducting channel layers of thin film transistors at low temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ by using molecular layer deposition with atomic layer deposition. In these nanohybrid superlattices, self-assembled organic layers (SAOLs) offer structural flexibility, whereas ZnO inorganic layers provide the potential for semiconducting properties, and thermal and mechanical stability. The prepared SAOLs-ZnO nanohybrid thin films exhibited good flexibility, transparent in the visible range, and excellent field effect mobility (> 7cm2/$V{\cdot}s$) under low voltage operation (from -1 to 3V). The nanohybrid semiconductor is also compatible with pentacene in p-n junction diodes.

In this work, buffer layers with various conditions are inserted at an n/i interface in hydrogenated amorphous silicon semitransparent solar cells. It is observed that the performance of a solar cell strongly depends on the arrangement and thickness of the buffer layer. When arranging buffer layers with various bandgaps in ascending order from the intrinsic layer to the n layer, a relatively high open circuit voltage and short circuit current are observed. In addition, the fill factors are improved, owing to an enhanced shunt resistance under every instance of the introduced n/i buffer layers. Among the various conditions during the arrangement of the buffer layers, a reverse V shape of the energy bandgap is found to be the most effective for high efficiency, which also exhibits intermediate transmittance among all samples. This is an inspiring result, enabling an independent control of the conversion efficiency and transmittance.
