  • Ga/Al doped ZnO (GAZO) thin films were prepared on non-alkali glass substrate by co-sputtering system using two DC cathodes equipped with AZO ($Al_2O_3$:2.0 wt%) target and GZO ($Ga_2O_3$:6.65 wt%) target. This study examined the influence of Al/Ga concentration and substrate temperature on the electrical, structural and optical properties of GAZO films. The lowest resistivity $1.95{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$ was obtained at room temperature. With increasing substrate temperature, resistivity of GAZO film decreased to a minimum value of $7.47{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ at below $300^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, when 0.05% $H_2$ gas was introduced, resistivity of GAZO film decreased to $6.69{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$. All the films had a preferred orientation along the (002) direction, indicating that the deposited films have hexagonal wurtzite structure formed by the textured growth along the c-axis. The average transmittance of the films was more than 85% in the visible light range.

  • Zinc oxide(ZnO) is a semiconductor material with a bandgap of 3.37 eV and an exciton binding energy of 60 meV for various applications. Recently ZnO has been proven to enhance its electrical properties for utilization as an alternative for transparent conducting oxide (TCO) materials. In this study, cation(Al, Ga)-anion(F) single and double doped ZnO thin films were grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) to enhance the electrical properties. The structural and optical properties of doped ZnO thin films were analyzed, and doping effects were confirmed to electrical characteristics. In single doped ZnO, it was observed that the carrier concentration was increased after doping, acting as a donor to ZnO. Among the single doping elements, F doped ZnO(FZO) showed the highest mobility and conductivity due to the passivation effect of oxygen vacancies. In the case of double doping, higher electrical characteristics were observed compared to single doping. Among the samples, Al-F doped ZnO(AFZO) exhibited the lowest resistance value. This results can be attributed to an increase in delocalized electron states and a decrease in lattice distortion resulting from the differences in ionic radius. The partial density of states(PDOS) was also analyzed and observed to be consistent with the experimental results.

  • The most Important research topic in the development of ZnO LED and LD is the production of p-type ZnO thin film that has minimal stress with outstanding stoichiometric ratio. In this study, Phosphorus diffused into the undoped ZnO thin films using the ampoule-tube method for the production of p-type znO thin films. The undoped ZnO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering system on $GaAs_{0.6}P_{0.4}$/GaP and Si wafers. 4N Phosphorus (P) was diffused into the undoped ZnO thin films in ampoule-tube which was performed and $630^{\circ}C$ during 3hr. We found the diffusion condition of the conductive ZnO films which had p-type properties with the highest mobility of above 532 $cm^2$/Vs compared with other studies PL spectra measured at 10K for the purpose of analyzing optical properties of p-type ZnO thin film showed strong PL intensity in the UV emission band around 365nm ~ 415nm and 365nm ~ 385nm.

  • An InGaZnO thin film transistor with different gate lengths and widths have been fabricated and their device degradations with device sizes have been also performed after negative gate bias stress. The threshold voltage and subthreshold swing have been decreased with decrease of gate length. However, the threshold voltages were increased with the decrease of gate lengths. The transfer curves were negatively shifted after negative gate stress and the threshold voltage was decreased. However, the subthreshold swing was not changed after negative gate stress. This is due to the hole trapping in the gate dielectric materials. The decreases of the threshold voltage variation with the decrease of gate length and the increase of gate width were believed due to the less hole injection into gate dielectrics after a negative gate stress.

  • Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films for application as transparent conducting oxide film were deposited on the glass substrate by using rf-magnetron sputtering system. The effects of working pressure on electrical and optical characteristics of GZO films were investigated. Regardless of the working pressure, all films were oriented along with the c-axis, perpendicular to the substrate. The electrical resistivity was about $8.68{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm\sim2.18{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and the average transmittance of all films including substrates was over 90% in the visible range. The good transparents and conducting properties were obtained due to controle the working pressure. The obtained results have acceptable for application as transparent conductive electrodes in LCDs and solar cells.

  • In this work, a junctionless transistor with different film thickness of amorphous InGaZnO has been fabricated and it's instability has been analyzed with different film thickness under positive and negative gate stress as well as light illumination. It was found that the threshold voltage shift and the variation of drain current have been increased with decrease of film thickness under the condition of gate stress and light illumination. The reasons for the observed results have been explained by stretched-exponential model and device simulation. Due to the reduced carrier trapping time with decrease of film thickness, electrons and holes can be activated easily. Due to the increase of vertical channel electric field reaching the back interface with decrease of film thickness, more electrons and holes can be accumulated in back interface. When one decides the film thickness for the fabrication of junctionless transistor, the more significant device instability with decrease of film thickness should be consdered.
