[ $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ ] green phosphors doped with $NH_4Cl$ and Al for PDP were synthesized by solid state reaction method. The luminescence of 532 nm in $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors was associated with $^4T_1{\to}^6A_1$ transition. Photoluminescence intensity of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ doped with $NH_4Cl$ 15 mol% increased about two times as compared with that of $NH_4Cl$ non-doped sample. The color of the emission of Al-doped $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors changed to yellowish green.

$Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn green phosphors doped with Ga for PDP were synthesized by solid state reaction method. Photoluminescence measurements showed a new emission peak at around 600 nm for $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn phosphors doped with Ga. Also, the luminescent color with doping $Ga^{3+}$ in the $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn phosphors changed to green from yellowish green. Consequently, the new peak and charge of the luminescent color in the $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn, Ga phosphors were attributed to $^2E{\rightarrow}^6A_2$ transition of $Mn^{4+}$.

In this paper, reflectance and the dielectric characteristics for $P_2O_5$-ZnO-BaO system and $SiO_2-ZnO-B_2O_3$ system have been investigated as a function of contents of $TiO_2$. The reflectance was decreased with increasing the contents of $TiO_2$ contents, and the reflectance of $P_2O_5$-ZnO-BaO system was lowered than that of $SiO_2-ZnO-B_2O_3$ system. The dielectric constant of $P_2O_5$-ZnO-BaO system was higher than $SiO_2-ZnO-B_2O_3$ system, and the dielectric constant in the both system was increased with increasing of $TiO_2$ contents. This can explained as the space charge effects. These results are could be applied to the lower dielectrics layer of PDP required high reflective ratio and breakdown strength.

ZnO는 상온에서 3.38eV의 넓은 밴드갭을 가지는 직접천이형 반도체이며, 60meV의 큰 엑시톤 결합에너지를 가지는 UV 영역의 광소자로 응용할 수 있는 물질이다. 특히 ZnO를 이용한 LED에 대한 연구가 최근 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 n-ZnO/p-ZnO 동종접합 다이오드는 p-ZnO의 재현성이 없고, 낮은 정공농도를 보이기 때문에 n-ZnO를 기반으로 한 이종접합 다이오드의 개발이 필요하게 되었다. 특히 n-ZnO/p-Si 이종접합 다이오드는 낮은 구동전압과 제조단가가 저렴하다는 장점이 있다 또한 n-ZnO를 스퍼터링을 이용하여 증착할 경우 고온에서 성장함에도 불구하고 케리어 농도 및 이동도가 매우 낮다. 반면 MOCVD 법은 대면적 증착이 가능하고 비교적 낮은 온도에서 박막을 성장할 수 있고 전기적 특성 또한 매우 우수하다. 본 연구에서는 p-Si 기판위에 MOCVD 를 이용하여 n-ZnO를 증착하고, 이를 열처리하여 n-ZnO/p-Si 이종접합 다이오드의 특성 변화를 관찰하고자 하였다. n-ZnO/p-Si 시편을 $N_2$ 및 $O_2$ 가스 분위기에서 열처리한 후 소자의 광학적, 전기적 특성을 관찰하였다.

Green-emitting $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors for PDP(Plasma Display Panel) application were synthesized by colloidal seed-assisted spray pyrolysis process. The codoping with $Gd^{3+}/Li^+$, which replaces $Si^{4+}$ site in the willemite structure, was performed to improve the luminous properties of the $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors. The particles prepared by spray pyrolysis process using fumed silica colloidal solution had a spherical shape, small particle size, narrow size distribution, and non-aggregation characteristics. The $Gd^{3+}/Li^+$ codoping amount affected the luminous characteristics of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors. The codoping with proper amounts of $Gd^{3+}/Li^+$ improved both the photoluminescence efficiency and decay time of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphor particles. In spray pyrolysis, the post-treatment temperature is another factor controlling the luminous performance of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors. The $Zn_{1.9}SiO_4:Mn_{0.1}$ phosphor particles containing 0.1 mol% $Gd^{3+}/Li^+$ co-dopant had a 5% higher PL intensity than the commercial product and 5.7 ms decay time after post-treatment at $1,145^{\circ}C$.

Mn-doped $Zn_2SiO_4$ phosphor particles having submicrometer sizes were synthesized by a solid-state reaction method using methyl hydrogen polysiloxane-treated ZnO, fumed $SiO_2$ and various Mn sources. The crystallization and photoluminescent properties of the phosphor particles were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), and by their photoluminescence(PL) spectra. Due to the effect of the dispersion and coherence of the methyl hydrogen polysiloxane-treated ZnO, the Mn-doped $Zn_2SiO_4$ particles were successfully obtained by a solid state method at $1000^{\circ}C$, and the maximum PL intensity of the prepared particles under vacuum ultra violet(VUV) excitation occurred at a Mn concentration of 0.02mol and a sintering temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$.

I-D ZnO nanostructures were fabricated by thermal evaporation method on Si(100), GaN and $Al_2O_3$ substrates without a catalyst at the reaction temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. Only pure Zn powder was used as a source material and Ar was used as a carrier gas. The shape and growth direction of synthesized ZnO nanostructures is determined by the crystal structure and the lattice mismatch between ZnO and substrates. The ZnO nanostructure on Si substrate were inclined regardless of their substrate orientation. The origin of ZnO/Si interface is highly lattice-mismatched and the surface of the Si substrate inevitably has the $SiO_2$ layer. The ZnO nanostructure on the $Al_2O_3$ substrate was synthesized into the rod shape and grown into particular direction. For the GaN substrate, however, ZnO nanostructure with the honeycomb-like shape was vertically grown, owing to the similar lattice parameter with GaN substrate.

In this study, we prepared ZnO thin film on $SiO_2$/Si substrate by FTS (Facing Targets Sputtering) apparatus which can reduce damage on the thin film because the bombardment of high-energy Particles such as ${\gamma}$-electron can be restrained. And, properties of thin filnl grown with ZnO buffer-layer which can be suppress initial growth layer was investigated. The crystalline and the c-axis preferred orientation of ZnO thin film was also investigated by XRD. As a result, we noticed that the ZnO thin film has a good crystallographic characteristic at thickness of ZnO buffer layer 10, 20 nm and working pressure 1 mTorr.

This work describes the characteristics of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films formed on a polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC buffer layer using a sol-gel process. The deposited ZnO films were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. ZnO thin films grown on the poly 3C-SiC buffer layer had a nanoparticle structure and porous film. The effects of post-annealing on ZnO film were also studied. The PL spectra at room temperature confirmed the crystal quality and optical properties of ZnO thin films formed on the 3C-SiC buffer layer were improved due to close lattice mismatch in the ZnO/3C-SiC interface.

ZnO/n-Si junctions were fabricated by spin coating with ZnO precursor produced by the sol-gel process. In order to increase the electrical conductivity of ZnO films, the films were n-doped with Al impurity and subsequently annealed at about $450^{\circ}C$ under reducing environments. The ohmic contacts between n-Si and AI for a bottom electrode were successfully fabricated by doping the rear surface of Si substrate with phosphorous atoms. The front surface of the substrate was also doped with phosphorous atoms for improving the efficiency of the solar cells. Consequently, conversion efficiencies ranging up to about 5.3% were obtained. These efficiencies were found to decrease slowly with time because of the oxide films formed at the ZnO/Si interface upon oxygen penetration through the porous ZnO. Oxygen barrier layers could be necessary in order to prevent the reduction of conversion efficiencies.
