본 연구에서는 metal oxide chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)을 이용하여 p형 실리콘(100) 기판 위에 30 nm 두께의 산화 아연 완충층을 $500^{\circ}C$ 에서 증착 시킨 후, 그 위에 산화 아연 나노로드를 수열합성법을 이용하여 성장시켰다. 그리고 산화아연 나노로드 성장 시 0.02몰${\sim}$0.5몰의 다양한 농도의 전구체를 사용함으로써 그에 따라 변화되는 산화 아연 나노로드의 배열상태, 구조적, 그리고 광학적 특성 평가를 실시하였다. 특성 평가는 FE-SEM(field emission scanning electron microscopy), XRD(X-ray diffraction), 그리고 PL(photoluminescence) 등의 분석 방법들을 통해 이루어졌다 본 연구를 통하여 전구체의 농도가 증가할수록 나노로드의 직경과 길이가 길어지며 0.3몰의 농도에서 뛰어난 광학 특성이 나타나는 것을 발견할 수 있었다.

ZnO nanorods were successfully fabricated on Zn foil by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The ZnO precursor concentration and immersion time affected the surface morphologies, structure, and electrical properties of the ZnO nanorods. As the precursor concentration increased, the diameter of the ZnO nanorods increased from ca. 50 nm to ca. 150 nm. The thicknesses of the ZnO nanorods were from ca. $1.98{\mu}m$ to ca. $2.08{\mu}m$. ZnO crystalline phases of (100), (002), and (101) planes of hexagonal wurtzite structure were confirmed by XRD measurement. The fabricated ZnO nanorods showed a photoluminescene property at 380 nm. Especially, the ZnO nanorods deposited for 6 h in solution with a concentration of 0.005M showed a stronger (101) peak than they did (100) or (002) peaks. In addition, these ZnO nanorods showed a good electrical property, with the lowest resistance among the four samples, because the nanorods were densely in contact and relatively without pores. Therefore, a ZnO nanorod substrate is useful as a highly sensitive biochip substrate to detect biomolecules using an electrochemical method.

We have deposited aluminum-doped ZnO thin films on borosilicate glass by atomic layer deposition. Diethylzinc (DEZ) and dimethylaluminum isopropoxide (DMAIP) were used as the metal precursor and the Al-dopant, respectively. Water was used as an oxygen source. DMAIP was successfully used as an aluminum precursor for chemical vapor deposition and ALD. All deposited films showed n-type conduction. The resistivity decreased to a minimum and then increased with increasing the aluminum content. The carrier concentration increased and the carrier mobility decreased with increasing the DMAIP to DEZ pulse ratio. The average optical transmittance was nearly 80 % in the visible part of the spectrum. The absorption edge moved to the shorter wavelength region with increasing the DMAIP to DEZ pulse ratio. Our results indicate that DMAIP is suitable for Al doping of ZnO films.

The unintentionally doped and bismuth (Bi) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) films were prepared by spray pyrolysis at $450^{\circ}C$ with zinc acetate and bismuth nitrate precursor. The n-type conduction with concentration $6.13{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$ can be observed for the unintentionally doped ZnO. With the increasing of bismuth nitrate concentration in precursor, the p-type conduction can be observed. The p-type concentration $4.44{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$ can be achieved for the film with the Bi/Zn atomic ratio 5% in the precursor. The photoluminescence spectroscopy with HeCd laser light source was studied for films with different Bi doping. The photocatalytic activity for the unintentionally doped and Bi-doped ZnO films was studied through the photodegradation of Congo red under UV light illumination. The effects of different Bi contents on photocatalytic activity are studied and discussed. Results show that appropriate Bi doping in ZnO can increase photocatalytic activity.

$Cu_2ZnSn(S_xSe_{1-x})_4$ (CZTSSe) absorber thin films were prepared on Mo coated soda lime glass substrates by sulfo-selenization of sputtered stacked Zn-Sn-Cu precursor thin films. The Zn-Sn-Cu precursor thin films were sulfo-selenized inside a graphite box containing S and Se powder using rapid thermal processing furnace at $540^{\circ}C$ in Ar atmosphere with pre-treatment at $300^{\circ}C$. The effect of different S/Se ratio on the structural, compositional, morphological and electrical properties of the CZTSSe thin films were studied using XRD (X-ray diffraction), XRF (X-ray fluorescence analysis), FE-SEM (field-emission scanning electron microscopy), respectively. The XRD, FE-SEM, XRF results indicated that the properties of sulfo-selenized CZTSSe thin films were strongly related to the S/Se composition ratio. In particular, the CZTS thin film solar cells with S/(S+Se)=0.25 shows best conversion efficiency of 4.6% ($V_{oc}$ : 348 mV, $J_{sc}$ : $26.71mA/cm^2$, FF : 50%, and active area : $0.31cm^2$). Further detailed analysis and discussion for effect of S/Se composition ratio on the properties CZTSSe thin films will be discussed.

In this study, the nanosized ZnS thin films that can be used for fabrication of blue light-emitting diodes, electro-optic modulators, and n-window layers of solar cells were grown by the solution growth technique (SGT), and their surface morphology and film thickness and grain size dependence on the growth conditions were examined. Based on these results, the quantum size effects of ZnS were systematically investigated. Governing factors related to the growth condition were the concentration of precursor solution, growth temperature, concentration of aq. ammonia, and growth duration. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the ZnS thin film obtained in this study had the cubic structure ($\beta$-ZnS). With decreasing growth temperature and decreasing concentration of precursor solution, the surface morphology of film was found to be improved. Also, the film thickness depends largely on the ammonia concentration. In particular, this is the first time that the surface morphology dependence of ZnS film grown by SGT on the ammonia concentration is reported. The energy band gaps of samples were determined from the optical transmittance values, and were shown to vary from 3.69 eV to 3.91 eV. These values were substantially higher than 3.65 eV of bulk ZnS. It was also shown that the quantum size effect of SGT grown ZnS is larger than that of the ZnS films grown by most other growth techniques.

Thin films of Pb(Mg, Zn)1/3Nb2/3O3 were fabricated by spin coating the Pb-Mg-Zn-Nb-O complex alkoxide sols on(111) Pt-coated MgO (100) planes. It was observed that the content of H2O and the rheological characteristics of sol greatly influenced the orientation of perovskite grains after thin-film formation. A strong preferential orientation of (100)-type planes of the perovskite grains was obtained for the sol aged for 15 days with the molar ratio of H2O to total metal alkoxides=2. As small angle X-ray scattering experiment in the Porod region was performed to correlate the observed preferential orientation with the network structure of precursors at various stage of aging. It was shown that the degree of branching of the Pb-Mg-Zn-Nb-O precursor chain had a direct effect on the preferred oreintation, and weakly branched precursor systems led to highly oriented grains after thin-film formation.

본 연구에서는 반도체식 가스센서 재료로서 활용 가능한 ZnO 박막을 Continuous Flow Reaction(CFR) 방법으로 실리콘 기판 위에 성장시켰다. 또한 전구물질로 사용한 zinc acetate의 농도에 따른 산화아연 박막의 성장특성과 이들의 전기적 특성이 조사되었다. 산화아연 박막 제조는 0.005~0.02 M의 zinc acetate 농도에서 수행되었다. 산화아연 박막을 구성하고 있는 ZnO의 입자크기는 농도가 증가할수록 증가되었으며, 박막의 두께도 함께 증가되었다. CFR 법에 의한 산화아연 박막의 성장속도는 전구물질의 농도에 비례적으로 의존되는 것을 확인하였으며, 균일한 박막을 제조하기 위한 전구물질의 최적 농도는 0.01 M이였다. 한편, 전구물질의 농도를 달리하여 제조된 산화아연 박막의 전압에 대한 전류를 I-V 측정기로 측정한 결과, 박막의 두께가 증가될수록 높은 전류가 흘렀다. 그러므로 산화아연 박막의 전류를 전구물질의 농도변화로 조절할 수 있다. 또한 산화아연 박막을 $300^{\circ}C$에서 5 min 동안 $500ppmv\;H_2S$에 노출시킨 결과, 전압에 대한 전류값이 낮아졌다. 이와 같이 산화아연의 전기적 특성은 가스센서로 응용할 수 있는 가능성을 확인시켜 주는 결과라 할 수 있다.

분무연소합성법을 이용하여 나노 크기의 산화아연(ZnO) 콜로이드를 제조하였다. 연소반응을 위한 산화제로서 $Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$와 환원제(연료)로서 $CH_6N_4O$를 사용하였다. DTA/TGA를 이용하여 열분석을 행한 결과 $230^{\circ}C$에서 전구체 혼합물의 착화(ignition)에 의한 연소반응으로 생각되는 발열피크가 나타났다. 그러나 분무 연소 반응의 경우 ${\mu}m$ 크기의 액적들로 인해 착화를위한 분자 또는 기들의 함량이 상대적으로 적기 때문에 분무된 액적들의 착화를 위해 연소반응기의 온도를 $500^{\circ}C$로 유지하였다. 응집체의 형성을 억제하기 위하여 여과매체를 사용하여 액적의 개수 농도를 감소시켰으며, 에어로졸 입자의 체류시간을 2.5초로 조절하여 열 유체의 흐름을 층류로 유도하였다. 제조된 입자들의 모양은 모두 구형이었으며, 평균 입자 크기는 180nm이었다. XRD와 TEM 분석 결과 각각의 콜로이드들은 ZnO 고유의 결정성을 나타내고 있었으며, hexagonal 구조를 가지는 것으로 확인되었다.
