$Dy^{3+}-(or Tm^{3+}-)$ doped $Ga_2O_3 \;and\; ZnGa_2O_4$ phosphors were prepared using the solid state reaction method to investigate their photoluminescent characteristics. Under 254 nm excitation, $Dy^{3+}-doped Ga2_O_3$ exhibited two emission bands of 460~505nm and 570~600nm. On the other hand, $Dy^{3+}-(or Tm^{3+}-)$ doped $ZnGa_2O_4 $phosphors exhibited a broad-band emission extending from 330 nm to 610 nm, peaking at about 430 nm(or 370 nm). In this study, an emission peak shift of nealy 50 nm towards longer wavelength region was observed with $Dy^{3+}$ doping in the $ZnGa_2O_4 $.

Mn doped {{{{ {Zn {Ga }_{2 }O }_{4 } }} thin film phosphors were prepared on Si(100) wafers and ITO coated glass substrates by rf magnetron sputtering technique and the effects of the substrates dopant and the sputtering paramet-ers were analyzed, Changes of the oreintation were observed after annealine tratment. The grain size of {{{{ {Zn {Ga }_{2 }O }_{4 } }} : Mn thin film deposited on Si wafer was smaller than that on ITO/glass substrate which resulted in higher PL intensity. The PL spectra of Mn doped {{{{ {Zn {Ga }_{2 }O }_{4 } }} thin films showed sharp green luminescence spec-trum. According to CL spectrum it could be concluded that Mn ions acted as an actuator for green emission by substituting Zn atom sites.

녹색발광을 하는 스피넬 구조의 ZnGa$_2$O$_4$:Mn 형광체박막을 산소분압비를 증착변수로 이용하여 rf 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 증착하였으며, 증착된 박막을 산화, 진공+질소 분위기에서 각각 열처리를 하였다. 증착시 산소분압비 및 열처리시 산소분위기가 형광체 박막의 성장 및 발광특성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 열처리시 박막의 산화를 막을수록 발광특성이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

Green-emitting $ZnGa_2O_4$ : Mn phosphors were synthesized by a thermal method and their low-voltage cathodoluminescent characteristics were examined for the field emitter display (FED) application. Low efficiency of $ZnGa_2O_4$ : Mn phosphors could be ascribed to the low penetration depth of into phosphors, which might results in charge accumulation on the phosphors screen. For increasing cathodoluminescent of $ZnGa_2O_4$ : Mn under low voltage excitation, wide band-gap oxide materials were added to the $ZnGa_2O_4$: Mn powder. It is found that the luminance can be increased by 20%. Measurement of leakage current on the phosphor screen shows that the enhancement of low-voltage cathodoluminescent by additive materials is mainly due to the consumption of surface charges on the phosphor.

The preparation and photoluminescence properties of $ZnGa_2O_4$ : Mn phosphor are presented. Under 254 nm excitation $Zn_1-_xMn_xGa_2O_4$ exhibits the green emission band at 506 nm wavelength and maximum intensity where x=0.005. The manganese activated $ZnGa_2O_4$ phosphor prepared by the polymerized complex method shows a remarkable increase in the emission intensity and is smaller particle size than that prepared by conventional method. Also, electron paramagnetic resonance study on $ZnGa_2O_4$ : Mn powders indicates that the increase in emission intensity after firing treatment in mild hydrogen reducing atmosphere is due to the conversion of the higher valent manganese to $Mn^{2+}$.

전기적 저항이 낮은 투명 박막 물질은 현재 flat panel display, electroluminescent device, thin film transistor, solar cell 등 여러 분야에서 연구되고 있다. 그 중에서도 특히 ZnO：Ga는 현재 많이 쓰이는 ITO보다 화학적, 열적으로 안정한 상태를 보이는 투명 전도 산화막 물질로써 본 연구에서는 분광타원법을 이용하여 ZnO：Ga의 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구를 위한 시료는 온도에 따른 ZnO：Ga／Sapphire 박막, $O_2$의 압력에 따른 ZnO：Ga／Sapphire 박막, Ga의 doping 농도에 따른 ZnO：Ga／Sapphire 박막으로 제작하였으며, 위상변조형 분광타원계(spectroscopic Phase Modulated Ellipsometer, Jobin-Yvon, UVISEL)를 사용하여 측정대역을 0.74 ~ 4.5 eV, 입사각을 70$^{\circ}$로 하여 측정하였다.

We fabricated two different transparent conducting oxide thin films of ZnO doped with Ga ($Ga_2O_3$ 0.9 wt%) as well as Al ($Al_2O_3$ 2.1 wt%) (GAZO) and ZnO doped only with Al ($Al_2O_3$ 3 wt%) (AZO). It was investigated how it affects the moisture resistance of the transparent electrode. In addition, $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ thin film solar cells with two transparent oxides as front electrodes were fabricated, and the correlation between humidity resistance of transparent electrodes and device performance of solar cells was examined. When both transparent electrodes were exposed to high temperature distilled water, they showed a rapid increase in sheet resistance and a decrease in the fill factor of the solar cell. However, AZO showed a drastic decrease in efficiency at the beginning of exposure, while GAZO showed that the deterioration of efficiency occurred over a long period of time and that the long term moisture resistance of GAZO was better.

본 연구에서는 RF magnetron co-sputtering을 이용하여 Zn-O-Ga 구성비에 따른 광투과도 및 전기적 특성을 연구하였다. 타겟으로 ZnO 및 $Ga_2O_3$ 소결체를 이용하였으며, 두 개의 RF magnetron sputter의 RF power를 동시에 조절하여 타겟의 구성비를 조절하였으며, 기판과 타겟의 거리를 25 mm~75 mm 범위 내에 조절하여 거리에 따른 Zn-O-Ga 박막의 광투과 특성 및 전기적 특성을 관찰하였다. $Ga_2O_3$ 소결체의 magnetron sputter의 RF power를 30 watt에서 100 watt로 증가함에 따라 박막내의 Ga 성분은 0.5%에서 7.4%로 증가하였으며 Zn 성분은 46.3%에서 40.9%로 O성분은 53.2%에서 51.6%로 각각 줄어들었다. 이에 따라 ZnO의 우선방위 (002) 결정각($2{\theta}$)은 34.24에서 33.87로 줄어들었으며, 이동도 $5.5\;cm^2/Vs$ 에서 $1.99\;cm^2/Vs$ 정도로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 광투과도는 가시광선 영역에서 85% 이상 보였으며, carrier 밀도는 $0.5\;{\sim}\;4.0^*10^{20}/cm^3$로 증가함에 따라 이동도는 $1.5{\sim}5.5\;cm^2/Vs$로 투명전도막의 특성을 보였다.

ZnO materials with a wide band gap of approximately 3.3 eV has been used in transparent conducting oxides (TCO) due to exhibitinga high optical transmission, but its low conductivity acts as role of a limitation for conducting applications. Recently, Ga or Al-doped ZnO (GZO, AZO) becomes transparent conducting materials because of high optical transmission and excellent conductivity. However, the fundamental mechanism underlying the improvement of electrical conductivity of the GZO is still the subject of debate. In this study, we have fully investigated the reasons of high conductivity through the characterization of plane defects, crystal orientation, doping contents, crystal structure in Zn1-xGaxO (x=0, 3, 5.1, 5.6, 6.6 wt%). We manufactured Zn1-xGaxO by sintering ZnO and Ga2O3 powers, having a theoretical density of 99.9% and homogeneous Ga-dopant distribution in ZnO grains. The GZO containing 5.6 wt% Ga represents the highest electrical conductivity of $7.5{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}m$. In particular, many twins and superlattices were induced by doping Ga in ZnO, revealed by X-ray diffraction measurements and TEM (transmission electron microscopy) observations. Twins developed in conventional ZnO crystal are generally formed at (110) and (112) planes, but we have observed the twins at (113) plane only, which is the first report in ZnO material. Interestingly, the superlattice structure was not observed at the grains in which twins are developed and the opposite case was true. This structural change in the GZO resulted in the difference of electrical conductivity. Enhancement of the conductivity was closely related to the extent of Ga ordering in the GZO lattice. Maximum conductivity was obtained at the GZO with a superlattice structure formed ideal ordering of Ga atoms.
