ZnSnO₃ (ZTO)/Ag/ ZnSnO₃ (ZTO) trilayer films were prepared on glass substrates by radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The electrical resistivity and optical transmittance of the films were investigated as a function of the Ag interlayer thickness. ZTO films with a 15 nm thick Ag interlayer show the highest average visible transmittance (83.2%) in the visible range. In this study, the highest figure of merit (2.1×10⁻² Ω cm) is obtained with the ZTO 50 nm/Ag 15 nm/ZTO 50 nm films. The enhanced optical and electrical properties of ZTO films with a 15 nm thick Ag interlayer are attributed to the crystallization of the Ag interlayer, as supported by the distinct XRD pattern of the Ag (111) peaks. From the observed results, higher optical and electrical performance of the ZTO film with a 15 nm thick Ag interlayer seems to make a promising alternative to conventional transparent conductive ITO films.

Daylight is highly beneficial for improving the indoor environmental quality and reducing building energy consumption, daylighting applications are scarcely considered, especially during the Rural standard house models design process, because of lack of previous studies on elderly-light environment and complex simulation process. Therefore, daylighting process were performed using ECOTECT, which has various advantage such as easy user interface and simple simulation processes. Moreover, dynamic daylight simulation were performed using whether data. Static simulation are performed to compute static metrics such as daylight factor, whereas dynamic simulation are performed for dynamic metrics such as daylight autonomy and useful daylight illuminance using annual weather data On the basis of daylight autonomy and useful daylight illuminance analysis result, variations in annual daylight performances. A parametric and regression analysis of the window-to-wall ratio and visible transmittance showed that daylight factor, daylight autonomy increased with window-to-wall ratio and visible transmittance. It can be concluded that this new daylight criteria. useful daylight illuminance, will enable architect to obtain better fenestration design.

Electromagnetic interference shielding and near-infrared cutoff filters for plasma display panel application were designed and fabricated by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Three types of the filters were prepared: the basic structure of type A consisted of [$TiO_2$ Ti Ag $TiO_2$]; type B, of [$TiO_2$ ITO Ag $TiO_2$]; type C, of [$TiO_2$ ITO Ag ITO $TiO_2$]. Ti and ITO layers deposited on Ag layers were employed as barriers to prevent the oxidation and the diffusion of Ag film into the adjacent oxide layers. Optical, electrical, chemical, and structural properties were investigated, and the result shows that the filters with the ITO barrier layers provided an enhancement in transmittance in the visible owing to a lower absorption of ITO layers than Ti layers. Type C filter showed better optical and electrical performances and smoother surface roughness than Type B and C filters: the average sheet resistance was as low as 1.51 $\Omega\Box$ (where $\square$ stands for a square film), the peak transmittance in the visible was as high as 78.2 %, and the average surface roughness was 1.48 nm.

This paper presents the results of the optical characteristics of ITO thin film with different buffer layer thicknesses of $SiO_2$ and $Nb_2O_5$ for touch sensor application. $SiO_2$ and $Nb_2O_5$ buffer layers were deposited using RF magnetron sputtering equipment. The buffer layers were inserted between glass and ITO layers. In order to compare with the experimental results, the Essential Macleod Program (EMP) was adopted. Based on EMP simulation, the [$Nb_2O_5{\mid}SiO_2{\mid}ITO$] multi-layered thin film exhibited high transmittance of more than 85% in the visible region. The actual experimental results also showed transmittance of more than 85% in the visible region, indicating that the simulated results were well matched with the experimental results. The sheet resistance of ITO based film was about $340{\Omega}/sq$. The surface roughness maintained a relatively small value within the range of 0.1~0.4 nm when using the $Nb_2O_5$ and $SiO_2$ buffer layers.

Highly conductive and transparent in the visible region tin-doped indium oxide(ITO) thin films were deposited on Corning glass by r.f sputtering. To achieve high transmittance and low resistivity, we examined various parameters such as r.f power and deposition time. The films crystallinity shifted from (222) to (400) and (440) orientation as deposition time and r.f power increased. Surface roughness RMS value increased proportionally with deposition time. The lowest resistivity was $5.36{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at 750 nm thickness, $200^{\circ}C$ substrate temperature and 125 w r.f power. All of the films showed over $85\%$ transmittance in the visible wavelength range.

We propose a low temperature sol-gel ZnO/Ag nanowire composite thin film to fulfill low temperature and low cost requirements, which are essential criteria in future flexible electronic devices. In this proposed thin film, Ag nanowire plays the role of electrical conduction, and sol-gel ZnO provides a structural medium with a high visible transmittance. Low temperature restriction in the sol-gel fabrication process prevents sufficient oxidation of Zn acetate precursors, which were solved by a post-coating treatment with ultraviolet light irradiation. Composite thin film formation was performed by spin coating methods with a mixed precursor solution or in a sequential manner. We obtained an average visible transmittance larger than 85% and a sheet resistance smaller than $50{\Omega}/sq$. After optimization in a fabricated composite transparent conductive thin film with the thickness around 100 nm. Similar experimental demonstration in a flexible substrate (polyethyleneterephthalate) was successful, which implies a promising application opportunity of this technology.

The effects of the growth temperature on the properties of ZnO thin films were investigated by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, and Hall measurements. The ZnO films were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering at various growth temperatures in the range of 100-$400{^{\circ}C}$. A strong c-axis preferred orientation is observed for all of the samples. As the growth temperature increases, the crystalline orientation of the ZnO (002) plane is not changed, but the full width at half maximum gets smaller. The dependence of the electron concentration, mobility, and resistivity on the growth temperature exhibits that the ZnO films have a higher electron concentration at higher temperatures, thus giving them a low resistivity. The optical transmittance and band gap energy, calculated from the spectra of optical absorbance, show a significant dependence on the growth temperature. As for the sample grown at $100{^{\circ}C}$, the average transmittance is about 90% in the visible wavelength range and the band gap is estimated to be 3.13 eV.

This study demonstrates transparent electrodes with characteristics desirable for touch screen panels using carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This has been accomplished by depositing CNTs on glass substrates via spray coating and then depositing thin conductive polymer films on the CNTs via spin coating. For all of the samples, such as CNTs, conductive polymers, and polymer-coated CNTs, the surface morphologies, sheet resistances, visible transmittances, chromatic properties are characterized as functions of their preparation conditions, such as the spray times for CNTs and the spin speeds for conductive polymers. The experimental results confirm that only the polymer-coated CNTs can satisfy all of the requirements that are required for electrodes of touch screen panels, such as the sheet resistance lower than $100{\Omega}/sq$, the visible transmittance higher than 80 %, and the yellowness smaller than 1.

본 연구에서는 radio frequency(rf) 마그네트론 스퍼터링 기술을 이용하여 Corning 유리 기판에 증착된 InGaZnO (IGZO) 박막의 광 투과도 특성에 고 에너지 전자빔 조사(high-energy electron beam irradiation (HEEBI))이 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 저온에서 증착된 IGZO 박막은 공기 중 과 상온 조건에서 0.8 MeV의 전자빔 에너지와 $1{\times}10^{14}-1{\times}10^{16}electrons/cm^2$ dose를 사용하여 HEEBI 처리 되었다. IGZO 박막의 광 투과도는 utraviolet visible near-infrared spectrophotometer (UVVIS)로 측정되었다. HEEBI 처리 된 IGZO/유리 이중층의 총 광 투과도에서 HEEBI 처리된 IGZO 단일막 만의 광 투과도를 분리하는 방법을 상세히 연구하였다. 실험 결과로부터 $1{\times}10^{14}electrons/cm^2$의 적절한 dose로 처리된 HEEBI가 IGZO 박막의 투명도를 극대화시킴을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이렇게 적절한 dose로 처리된 HEEBI가 광학 밴드갭($E_g$)을 3.38 eV에서 3.31 eV로 감소시킴을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 $E_g$의 감소는 적절한 dose로 공기 중 상온에서 처리된 HEEBI가 진공 중 고온에서 처리된 열적 annealing 효과와 유사함을 제시하고 있다.
