The different concentration Indium doped ZnO:Al films were grown on glass substrates (Corning 1737) at $200^{\circ}C$ by pulsed laser deposition. The indium doping in AZO films shows the critical effect on the crystallinity, resistivity, and optical properties of the films. The AZO films doped with 0.3 atom % indium content exhibit the highest crystallinity, the lowest resistivity of $4.5\times10^{-4}\Omega$-cm, and the maximum transmittance of 93%. The resistivity of the indium doped-AZO films is strongly related with the crystallinity of the films. The carrier concentration in the indium doped-AZO films linearly increases with increasing indium concentration. The mobility of the AZO films with increasing indium concentration was reduced with an increase in carrier concentration and the decrease in mobility was attributed to the ionized impurity scattering mechanism. In an optical transmittance, the shift of the optical absorption edge to shorter wavelength strongly depends on the electronic carrier concentration in the films.

Electrical characteristics of Pt/Ti/Pt/Au and Pd/Zn/Pd/Au contacts to p-type InGaAs grown on an InP substrate have been characterized as a function of the doping concentration and the annealing temperature. The Pt/Ti/Pt/Au contacts produced the specific contact resistance as low as $2.3{\times}10^{-6}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, when heat-treated at an annealing temperature of $400^{\circ}C$. Comparison of the Pt/Ti/Pt/Au and Ti/Pt/Au contacts showed that the first Pt layer plays an important role in reducing the contact resistivity probably by lowering energy barrier at the metal-semiconductor interface. For the Pd/Zn/Pd/Au contacts, the contact resistivity remained virtually unchanged with increasing annealing temperature. The specific contact resistivity as low as $4.7{\times}10^{-6}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ was obtained. The results indicate that the Pt/Ti/Pt/Au and Pd/Zn/Pd/Au schemes could be potentially important for the fabrication of InP-based optoelectronic devices, such as photodetector and optical modulator.

The $(1-x)La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_3(LSMO)/xZnFe_2O_4$(ZFO) (x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.06 and 0.09) composites were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. We investigated the structural properties, magnetic properties and electrical transport properties of (1-x)LSMO/xZFO composites using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field-cooled dc magnetization and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements. The XRD and SEM results indicate that LSMO and ZFO coexist in the composites and the ZFO mostly segregates at the grain boundaries of LSMO, which agreed well with the results of the magnetic measurements. The resistivity of the samples increased by the increase of the ZFO doping level. A clear metal-to-insulator (M-I) transition was observed at 360K in pure LSMO. The introduction of ZFO further downshifted the transition temperature (350K-160K) while the transition disappeared in the sample (x = 0.09) and it presented insulating/semiconducting behavior in the measured temperature range (100K to 400K). The MR was measured in the presence of the 10kOe field. Compared with pure LSMO, the enhancement of low-field magnetoresistance (LFMR) was observed in the composites. It was clearly observed that the magnetoresistance effect of x = 0.03 was enhanced at room temperature range. These phenomena can be explained using the double-exchange (DE) mechanism, the grain boundary effect and the intrinsic transport properties together.

Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were grown on quartz substrates by the sol-gel method. The effects of the Al mole fraction on the structural and optical properties of the AZO thin films were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-VIS spectroscopy. The particle size of the AZO thin films decreased with an increase in Al concentrations. The optical parameters, the optical band gap, absorption coefficient, refractive index, dispersion parameter, and optical conductivity, were studied in order to investigate the effects of Al concentration on the optical properties of AZO thin films. The dispersion energy, single-oscillator energy, average oscillator wavelength, average oscillator strength, and refractive index at an infinite wavelength of the AZO thin films were affected by the Al incorporation. The optical conductivity of the AZO thin films also increased with increasing photon energy.

ITO에 사용되는 주된 재료인 인듐의 bixbyite 구조는 TCOs의 전기적 특성에서 매우 중요한 것으로 알려져 있다. 때문에 인듐의 Bixbyite구조를 유지하면서 인듐의 사용량을 줄이기 위해 최적의 Solubility limit에 관해 연구하였다. 이를 위해 In2O3-ZnO-SnO2의 삼성분계 기본 조성에 두가지 물질을 추가로 첨가하여 첨가량에 따른 Solubility limit을 연구하였다. Solubility limit의 측정을 위해 X-ray Diffractometer(XRD)를 사용하였으며, 첨가 원소의 양이 증가할수록 TCOs target의 Latice parameter값은 작아졌다, SEM을 통한 미세구조의 관찰로 원소첨가에 따른 샘플의 소결에너지 변화를 분석할 수 있었다. 제작된 시편의 정성분석 및 Chemical binding Energy를 측정하기 위해 X-ray Photo Spectroscopy (XPS)를 이용하였으며, 전기적인 특성 측정을위해 4-Point prove mesurement 방법을 사용하였다.

Doping a small amount of a phosphorescent dye into an organic light-emitting diodes(OLED) can lead to a significant improvement in the device properties. The fluorescent host materials like TAZ, CBP have been used, but have a problem of rapid decay of efficiency at high current densities. To alleviate this problem, phosphorescent host was introduced. The whole configuration of OELD fabricated was ITO/a-NPD(50nm)/Zn $cluster:Ir(ppy)_{3}(30nm)/BCP{(10nm)/Alq_{3}(20nm)$ /Al:Li. The OLED showed high luminance (> 50,000 $cd/m^{2}$ ) and external efficiency(5.7%). At higher current densities, rapid decay of external quantum efficiency or host emission, which was frequently observed in the fluorescent host system, were not observed.

Thin films of undoped and Ga-doped zinc oxide have been prepared by rf sputtering. The films deposited on substrates, which have a columnar structure with the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate surface, consist of very small crystal grains (500-1000 ${\AA}$). Considering doping effects, the electrical resistivity of Ga-doped films decreased by an order of $10^3$ compared to undoped films and the optical transmission was above 80% in the visible range and the optical band gap widened as the Ga content increased.

In this study several P type and N type ceramic semiconductors were prepared by atomic valence control and their electric resistivities were investigated with various concentrations of additive impurities. N-P junctions were made by thin film printing method and their varistor-like characteristics were investigated and their availability was discussed. The results are followings, 1) Some N type semiconductors with a proper concentration of additive impurity have minimum resistivities. 2) The N-P junction samples with ZnO as a constituent material of N type semiconductor have linearity in voltage-current characteristics, but the other N-P junction samples have the non-linearity, 3) Some N-P junction samples showed the good varistor-like characteristics.
