Light induced degradation of hydrogenated amorphous silicon(a-Si:H) are related to the number of weak dangling bonds which are thought to be responsible for the Staebler-Wronski effects, and caused the many photoelectric problems in applications of thin film transistors and solar cell, etc. In this paper, we deposited fluorinated amorphous silicon films(a-Si:H;F) with $SiH_4$ and $SiF_4$ gas mixture and investigated the effects of fluorine atoms on the evoluations of the crystallinity and improvements of light instability. We have found that micro-crystallinity produced in a-SI:H;F films and marked maximum value of 22% at the flow rate of $SiH_4:SiF_4$=2:10 sccm by UV spectrophotometer measurement, while n-Si:H film deposited with only $SiH_4$ gas showed no crystallinity. Light-induced degradation property of a-Si:H;F films is also improved which is mainly due to the etching effects of fluorine atoms on the weak Si-Si bonds and unstable hydrogen bonds. It is considered that involving fluorine atoms in a-Si:H films may contribute to the suppression of light-induced degradation and evolution of micro-crystallinity.

단결정 실리콘 태양전지 공정에서 이방성 습식 식각 용액을 이용하여 기판 표면에 피라미드 구조를 형성하는 것을 텍스쳐링이라고 한다. 실리콘 기판의 표면을 식각하여 요철구조를 만들어줌으로써 셀 내부로 입사되는 광량을 증가시켜 태양전지의 단락 전류 및 효율 향상 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 일반적인 태양전지 공정에서는 요철구조를 형성할 시 따로 마스크를 사용하지 않으며, 태양전지 급 웨이퍼를 절삭손상층 식각 한 후, 강염기성 용액과 알코올의 혼합용액에 담가서 이방성 식각을 실시하여 요철 구조를 형성한다. 본 연구는 기존의 텍스쳐링 공정에서 사용되는 대표적인 용액인 수산화칼륨(potassium hydroxide, KOH)과 알코올의 혼합용액과 사메틸수산화암모늄(Tetramethylammonium Hydroxide, TMAH)과 알코올의 혼합용액에 Triton X-100 계면활성제를 각각 첨가하여 실험을 진행하였다. 식각된 태양전지용 실리콘 기판의 표면은 주사전자현미경(Scanning Electron Microscope)을 통하여 관찰하였고, 분광광도계(UV/VIS/NIR Spectrophotometer)로 반사도 값을 측정하여 기판의 특성을 평가하였다.

Sol-gel preparation technique using a chemical reaction of metal alkoxides has been widely used for the fabrication of various materials including ceramics. However, its mechanism has been studied till now because a number of chemical ways are possible from various alkoxides and additives. In this study, the mechanism of hydrolysis, condensation, and polymerization of alkoxides were investigated from the fabrication of lead-zirconate-titanate (PbZr$\_$x/Ti$\_$l-x/O$_3$; PZT) thin film that is used as various micro-actuator, transducer, and sensor because of its high electro-mechanical coupling factors and thermal stability. Furthermore, the fabrication process and characteristics of self-patternable PZT film using photosensitive stabilizer were studied in order to resolve the problem of physical damage and properties degradation during dry etching for device fabrication. Using an optimum condition to prepare the self-patternable PZT film, more than 5000 ${\AA}$ thick self-patternable PZT film could be fabricated by three times coating. The PZT film showed 28.4 ${\mu}$c/cm$^2$ of remnant polarization (Pr) and 37.0 kV/cm of coercive field (E$\_$c/).

본 연구에서는 RF magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 실리콘 박막 태양전지용 ZnO:Al 전면전극을 제작하고 다양한 식각조건에 따른 ZnO:Al 박막의 표면형상 변화와 함께 전기적 및 광학적 특성 변화를 조사하였다. pin 구조를 갖는 실리콘 박막 태양전지의 효율 향상을 위해서는 입사광의 산란효과에 따른 광포획 증가가 필수적이며 이를 위하여 ZnO:Al 전면전극의 표면텍스처링 형성이 필요하다. 식각용액으로는 HCl과 HF 등을 사용하였으며 식각용액 농도 및 식각시간을 변화시켰다. 식각 후의 ZnO:Al 박막의 표면형상은 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope)과 AFM(Atomic Force Microscope)을 이용하여 분석을 하였고, UV-visible-nIR spectrometer를 이용하여 총 투과도 및 산란 투과도를 측정하였다. 이 외에도 four-point probe 및 Hall measurement를 이용하여 전기적 특성 변화를 조사하였다. 다양한 식각조건에 따라 제조된 ZnO:Al 박막 위에 실리콘 박막 태양전지를 제작하여 전면전극의 표면형상에 따른 태양전지 성능변화를 비교 분석하였다.

LCD용 칼라 필터를 제작하는 방법으로 감광성 고분자(photosensitive polymer)에 광 리소그라피(photolithography)기술이 많이 이용되어지고 있다. 이로 인해 감광성 고분자 표 면의 물리적, 화학적 성질이 변하게 되는데, 이는 후속 공정인 플라즈마 식각이나 ITO 전극 의 증착 등에도 많은 영향을 주므로, 각 공정에 따른 이들 고분자의 표면 연구는 매우 중요 하다. 본 논문에서는 blue 칼라 필터의 고분자 표면에 대한 연구를 SIMS와 XPS를 이용하 여 수행하였으며, 표면의 거칠기 변화를 AFM을 통해 관찰하였다. SIMS와 XPS결과로부터 초기 공정인 blue 칼라 필터를 스핀 코팅하고 pre bake한 상태에서는 주로 칼라 필터의 주 성분인 단량체와 결합제의 고분자 물질이 표면에 드러나 있다가, 노광 과정을 거치고 post bake한 시료에서는 색깔을 내는 안료 성분이 표면에 드러남을 확인하였고, AFM을 통해서 는 post bake후에 표면에 더 거칠어 짐을 관찰하였다.

We investigated the atomic layer deposition (ALD) process for nitrogen doped ZnO and the application for n-ZnO : N/p-Si (NW) coaxial hetero-junction photodetectors. ALD ZnO:N was deposited using diethylzinc (DEZ) and diluted $NH_4OH$ at $150^{\circ}C$ of substrate temperature. About 100~300 nm diameter and 5 um length of Si nanowires array were prepared using electroless etching technique in 0.108 g of $AgNO_3$ melted 20 ml HF liquid at $75^{\circ}C$. TEM images showed ZnO were deposited on densely packed SiNW structure achieving extraordinary conformality. When UV (360 nm) light was illuminated on n-ZnO:N/p-SiNW, I-V curve showed about three times larger photocurrent generation than film structure at 10 V reverse bias. Especially, at 660 nm wave length, the coaxial structure has 90.8% of external quantum efficiency (EQE) and 0.573 A/W of responsivity.

LCD-BLU (Back Light Unit) is one of kernel parts of LCD unit. The fabrication method of a 3-D micro mold patterned with micro-lenses for the LGP (Light Guiding Plate), one of the most important parts of LCD-BLU, was presented. Instead of dot pattern made by etching, 3-D optical pattern design with $50{\mu}m$ micro-lens was applied in the present study. The micro-lens pattern fabricated by modified LiGA with thermal reflow process was applied to the optical design of LGP. The positive micro-lens patterned injection mold with different aspect ratios (i.e. 0.3 and 0.4) was fabricated with modified LiGA with thermal reflow process. The brightness of LCD-BLU increased as aspect ratio of micro-lens increased.

LCD-BLU(Liquid Crystal Display - Back Light Unit) consists of several optical sheets: LGP(Light Guiding Plate), light source and mold frame. The LGP of LCD-BLU is usually manufactured by etching process and forming numerous dots with $50{\mu}m$ in diameter on the surface. But the surface roughness of LGP with etched dots is very high, so there is much loss of light. In order to overcome the limit of current etched dot patterned LGP, optical pattern design with microlens of $50{\mu}m$ diameter was applied in the present study. The microlens pattern fabricated by modified LiGA with thermal reflow process was applied to the optical design of LGP and optical simulation was carried out to know tendency of microlens patterned LGP simultaneously. The attention was paid to the effects of different aspect ratio(i.e. $0.2\sim0.5$) of optical pattern conditions to the brightness distribution of BLU with microlens patterned LGP. Finally, high aspect ratio microlens patterned LGP showed superior results to the one made by low aspect ratio in average luminance.

Free-standing multilayer distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR) porous silicon dielectric mirrors, prepared by electrochemical etching of crystalline silicon using square wave currents are treated with polystyrene to produce flexible, stable composite materials in which the porous silicon matrix is covered with caffeine-impregnated polystyrene. Optically encoded DBR PSi/polystyrene composite films retain the optical reflectivity. Optical characteristics of DBR PSi/polystyrene composite films are stable and robust for 2 hrs in a pH=7 aqueous buffer solution. The appearance of caffeine and change of DBR peak were simultaneously measured by UV-vis spectrometer and Ocean optics 2000 spectrometer, respectively.

To investigate the effect of preparing condition on the physical properties of carbon nanotubes suitable for optical applications, carbon nanotubes were synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition using Ni particles as a catalyst on stainless steel substrate and acetylene as a reactant gas. To examine the physical and optical properties, SEM, TEM, Ram an, UV-visible, and photoluminescence spectroscopy were used. The physical properties of carbon nanotubes such as diameter, degree of growth density and morphology were closely related to such experimental conditions as Ni particle size, growing pressure, and etching condit on of Ni particles, it appeared from the light absorbance and photoluminescence spectra of carbon nanotube mixture prepared with an addition of a photopolymer, P3HT(Poly(3-hexylthIop hene)) that carbon nanotube could do a role as a kind of electron acceptor for solar cell application.
