통신의 흐름은 빠르게 변하고 있으며, 최근에는 스마트 안경과 스마트 시계와 같은 인간의 삶을 윤택하게 하는 다채로운 웨어러블(Wearable) 기기들이 출현하고 있다. 웨어러블 기기에는 필수적으로 통신을 지원하는 안테나가 설치되어야 한다. 본 논문은 스마트 안경에 적용할 수 있으며 투명한 소재로 제작하여 광 투과성이 우수한 특성을 지닌 웨어러블 안테나에 관하여 연구한 논문이다. 투명한 안테나는 차기 웨어러블 기기인 스마트 유리에도 적용이 가능하며, 투명한 장점을 활용하여 시야를 가리지 않으면서 통신을 지원할 수 있는 장점이 있다. IZTO/Ag/IZTO(IAI) 다층구조의 투명전극 박막은 단일구조의 박막보다 전기전도도가 높으며 광 투과성이 우수하다. 이러한 다층구조의 투명전극 박막을 활용하여 제작한 안테나는 우수한 전기전도도로 인하여 안테나로 활용이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 다층구조의 투명전극 박막을 활용하여 투명한 소자가 적용 가능한 깨끗한 안경렌즈에 부착하여 안테나의 성능을 측정하였다. 안테나는 여러 기판 위에 올려진 것을 가정하여 시뮬레이션 되었으며, 안테나의 폭과 길이를 적절히 활용하여 안테나의 임피던스를 매칭하였다. 제작한 안테나의 전기전도도와 투명도는 각각 홀 효과 측정기(HMS-3000)과 광 투과율 측정기(UV-Spectrometer)로 측정하였으며, 안테나의 성능을 비교하기 위하여 은(Ag)을 40 nm 두께로 증착한 안테나를 대조군으로 사용하었다. 제작한 안테나는 일반 웨어러블 안경에서 지원하는 Wi-fi 통신 대역인 주파수 2.4~2.5GHz 범위에서 사용가능하며, 최대 이득 2.89 dBi, 효율 34%의 성능을 보인다.

We deposited $SnO_2$:F thin films by atomospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition(APCVD) on corning glass. $SnO_2$:F films were used as transparent conductive oxide (TCO) electrode for Si thin film solar cells. We have investigated structural, electrical and optical properties of $SnO_2$:F thin films and fabricated thin film Si solar cells by plasma enhanced CVD(PECVD) on $SnO_2$:F thin films The cells were characterized by I-V measurement using AM1.5 spectra. Conversion efficiency of our cells were between 5.61% and 6.45%.

The indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited on CR39 substrate using DC magnetron sputtering. The ITO thin films deposited at room temperature because CR39 substrate its glass-transition temperature is $130^{\circ}C$. The ITO thin films used bottom and top electrode and for organic thin film transparent transistors (OTFTs). The ITO thin film electrodes electrical properties and optical transparency properties in the visible wavelength range (300-800 nm) strongly dependent on volume of oxygen percent. For the optimum resistivity and transparency of the ITO thin film electrode achieved with a 75 W plasma power, 10 % volume of oxygen and a 27 nm/min deposition rate. Above 85 % transparency in the visible wavelength range (300-800 nm) measured without post annealing process and a low resistivity value $9.83{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ was measured thickness of 300 nm. All fabrication process of ITO thin films did not exceed $80^{\circ}C$.

The conductive coating method is used for various industrial fields. For example, Sputtering process is used to coat ITO layer in LCD or OLED panel manufacture process and fabricate a base layer of substrate of an electric printing device. However, conventional coating processes (beam sputtering, spin coating etc.) has a problems in the industrial manufacturing process. These processes have a very high cost and critical manufacturing environment as a vacuum process. Recently, many researchers have proposed various printing process instead of conventional coating processes. In this paper, we propose an ESD printing process in ITO coating layer and apply to fabricate a conductive coating film. Furthermore, the effect of the nozzle and also the applied voltage on different configuration of the nozzle head was also studied for better understanding of the Electro Static deposition process.

In the fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), carbon counter electrode has been tested for replacing the platinum counter electrode which has two drawbacks: limited surface area and high material cost. Poor mechanical stability of carbon layer due to weak bonding strength to electrically conductive TCO (transparent conducting oxide) glass substrate is a crucial barrier for practical application of carbon counter electrode. In the present study a carbon counter electrode with high conversion efficiency, comparable to Pt counter electrode, could be fabricated by adaption of a bonding layer between particulate carbon material and TCO substrate.

본 연구에선 ITO에 사용되는 Indium의 양을 줄이기 위해 ITO와 유사한 성질을 보이는 조성인 Indium - Zinc - Tin Turnary compound를 연구하였다. 각 조성은 Indium - Zinc - Tin Turnary compound를 기본으로 하여 Zinc site에 이종원소인 Al2O3와 Ga2O3를 doping함에 따라 변화되는 전기적 특성을 살며보았다. 분석에 사용한 Ceramic pellet은 일반적인 Ceramic process를 거쳐 제작되었다. 각 조성의 전기적 특성은 TCR meter와 Hall effect analyser를 이용하여 측정하였고, X-ray diffraction measurements(XRD), Scanning Electron microscope(SEM)를 이용하여 결정학적 특성을 분석하였다.

IGZO transparent conductive thin films were widely used as transparent electrode of optoelectronic devices. We have studied the optical and electrical properties of IGZO thin films. The IGZO thin films were deposited on the corning 1737 glass by RF magnetron sputtering method. The RF power in sputtering process was varied as 25, 50, 75and 100 W, respectively. All of the thin films transmittance in the visible range was above 85%. XRD analysis showed that amorphous structure of the thin films without any peak. The thin films were electrically characterized by high mobility above $13.4cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, $7.0{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$ high carrier concentration and $6{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}-cm$ low resistivity. By the studies we found that IGZO transparent thin film can be used as transparent electrodes in electronic devices.

Recently, advances in nano-material researches have opened the door for various transparent conductive materials, which include carbon nanotube, graphene, Ag and Cu nanowire, and printable metal grids. Among them, Ag nanowires are particularly interesting to synthesize because bulk Ag exhibits the highest electrical conductivity among all metals. Here we reviewed recently-published research works introducing various devices from organic light emitting diode to tactile sensing devices, all of which are employing AgNW for a conducting material. They proposed methods to enhance the stretchability and reversibility of the transparent electrodes, and apply them to make various flexible and stretchable electronics. It is expected that Ag nanowires are applicable to a wide range of high-performance, low-cost, stretchable electronic devices.

Silver nanowire random networks are promising candidates for replacing indium tin oxide (ITO) as transparent and conductive electrodes. They can also be used as transparent heating films with self-cleaning and defogging properties. By virtue of the Joule heating effect, silver nanowire random networks can be heated when voltage bias is applied; however, they are unsuitable for long-term use. In this work, we study the Joule heating of silver nanowire random networks embedded in polymers. Silver nanowire random networks embedded in polymers exhibit breakdown under the application of electric current. Their surface morphological changes indicate that nanoparticle formation may be the main cause of this electrical breakdown. Numerical analyses are used to investigate the temperatures of the silver nanowire and substrate.
