$ZnGa_2O_4$ 형광체 박막을 기판 온도를 $550^{\circ}C$에 고정시키고 산소 분압을 100, 200, 300 mTorr로 변화시키며 $Al_2O_3$(0001) 기판 위에 펄스 레이저 증착법을 이용하여 증착하였다. 다른 산소 분압에서 성장한 박막들의 미세 결정구조와 형광특성을 조사하였으며, 산소분압이 증가할수록 박막의 결정성이 변화하였으며 박막의 조성비가 다름을 형광특성을 통하여 알 수 있었다. 발광 스펙트럼은 460 nm에서 최고 피크값 을 나타내었으며, 300 nm에서 600 nm까지 갖는 넓은 밴드의 형광 특성을 나타내었다. 최적의 조건에서 성장된 박막의 형광 밝기를 고려해볼 때 $Al_2O_3$(0001) 기관이 우수한 $ZnGa_2O_4$ 형광체 박막을 성장시킬 수 있는 기판들 중 하나임을 확인하였다.

ZnO:Al thin film for application to FBAR's bottom electrode using ZnO piezoelectric thin film were prepared by FTS, in order to improve the crystallographic properties of ZnO thin films because the ZnO:Al thin film and ZnO thin films structure is equal each other. So we prepared the ZnO:Al thin film with oxygen gas flow rate. Thickness and c-axis preferred orientation and electric properties of ZnO:Al bottom electrode were evaluated by $\alpha$-step, XRD and 4-point probe..

The structural, optical and electrical properties of ZnO films doped with 1.5 at% of 3A materials(B, Al, Ga, In) were studied by sol-gel process. The films were found to be c-axis (002) oriented hexagonal structure on glass substrate, when post heated at 500 $^{\circ}C$. The surface of the films showed a uniform and nano size microstructure and the crystalline size of doped films decreased. The lattice constants of ZnO:B/Al/Ga increased than that of ZnO, while ZnO:In decreased. All the films were highly transparent(above 90 %) in the visible region. The energy gaps of ZnO:B/Al/Ga were increased a little, but that of ZnO:In was not changed. The resistivities of ZnO:Al/Ga/In were less than 0.1 $\Omega$cm. All the films showed a semiconductor properties in the light or temperature, however ZnO:In was less sensitive to it. A figure of merit of ZnO:In had the highest value of 0.025 $\Omega^{-1}$ in all samples.

본 연구에서는 소스 및 드레인 전극 재료에 따른 소자 열화를 분석하기 위해 Ni, Al, 및 ITO를 소스 및 드레인 전극 재료로 사용하여 InGaZnO 박막 트랜지스터를 제작하였다. 전극 재료에 따른 소자의 전기적 특성을 분석한 결과 Ni 소자가 이동도, 문턱전압 이하 스윙, 구동전류 대 누설전류 비율이 가장 우수하였다. 소스 및 드레인 전극 재료에 따른 소자 열화 측정결과 Al 소자의 열화가 가장 심한 것을 알 수 있었다. InGaZnO 박막 트랜지스터의 소자 열화 메카니즘을 분석하기 위하여 채널 폭과 스트레스 드레인 전압을 다르게 하여 문턱전압 변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과 채널 폭이 넓을수록 또 스트레스 드레인 전압이 높을수록 소자 열화가 많이 되었다. 측정결과로부터 InGaZnO 박막 트랜지스터의 소자 열화는 큰 채널 전계와 주울 열의 결합 작용으로 발생함을 알 수 있었다.

Highly conductive and transparent films of Ga-doped ZnO have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition using a ZnO target with 3 wt% ${Ga_2}{O_3}$ dopant. Films with the resistivity as low as $3.3{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and the transmittance above 80 % at the wavelength of 400 to 800 nm can be fabricated on glass substrate at room temperature. It is shown that a stable resistivity for the use in oxidation ambient at high temperature can be obtained for the films. Heat treatments were performed to examine the thermal stability of ZnO and GZO films at ptemperature range from $100^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$ in $O_2$ ambient for 30 minutes. The resistivity of ZnO film annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ increased by two orders of magnitude, in case of GZO film was relatively stable up to at $400^{\circ}C$. For practical applications at high temperatures the thermal stability of resistivity of GZO thin films might become an advantage for transparent electrodes.

In this study, $ZnGa_2O_4$ phosphors in its application to field emission displays and electroluminescence were synthesized through the precipitation method and $Mn^{2+}$ ions. A green luminescence activator, $Cr^{3+}$ ions, and a red luminescence activator were separately doped into $ZnGa_2O_4$, which was then screen printed to an indium tin oxide substrate. The thick films of the $ZnGa_2O_4$ were deposited with the various thicknesses using nano-sized powder. The best luminescence characteristics were shown at a thickness of 60 ${\mu}m$. Additionally, green-emission $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn^{2+}$ and red-emission $ZnGa_2O_4:Cr^{3+}$ phosphor thick films, which have superior characteristics, were manufactured through the screen-printing method. These results indicate that $ZnGa_2O_4$ phosphors prepared through the precipitation method have wide application as phosphor of the full color emission.

CIGS solar cell consisted of various films. In this research, we investigated electrode materials in $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) cells, including Al-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al), intrinsic ZnO (i-ZnO), and Al films. The sputtered ZnO:Al film with a sputtering power at 200W showed the lowest series resistance and highest cell efficiency. The electrical resistivity of the 200-W sputtered ZnO:Al film was $5.2{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ by the rapid thermal annealing at $200^{\circ}C$ for 1 min. The electrical resistivity of i-ZnO was not measurable due to its high resistance. But the optical transmittance was highest with less oxygen supply and high efficiency cell was achieved with $O_2/(Ar+O_2)$ ratio was 1% due to the increase of short-circuit current. No significant change in the cell performance by inserting a Ni layer between Al and ZnO:Al films was observed.

Recently, Zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-structures have been received attractive attention because of their outstanding optical and electrical properties. It might be a promising material considered for applications to photonic and electronic devices such as ultraviolet light emitting diode, thin film transistor, and gas sensors. ZnO nano-structures can be typically synthesized by the VLS growth mode and self-assembly. In the VLS growth mode using various growth techniques, the noble metal catalysts such as Au and Sn were used. However, the growth of ZnO nano-structures on nano-crystalline Au seeds using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering might be explained by the profile coating, i.e. the ZnO nano-structures were a morphological replica of Au seeds. Ga doped ZnO (ZnO:Ga) nano-structures using this concept were synthesized and characterized by XRD, AFM, SEM, and TEM. We found that surface morphology is drastically changed from initial islands to later sun-flower typed nano-structures. We will present the structural evolution of ZnO:Ga nano-structures with increasing the film thickness.

The ZnO thin films were grown on GaN template substrates by RF magnetron sputtering at different RF powers and n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunction LEDs were fabricated to investigate the effect of the RF power on the characteristics of the n-ZnO/p-GaN LEDs. For the growth of the ZnO thin films, the substrate temperature was kept constant at $200^{\circ}C$ and the RF power was varied within the range of 200 to 500W at different growth times to deposit films of 100 nm thick. The electrical, optical and structural properties of ZnO thin films were investigated by ellipsometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL) and by assessing the Hall effect. The characteristics of the n-ZnO/p-GaN LEDs were evaluated by current-voltage (I-V) and electroluminescence (EL) measurements. ZnO thin films were grown with a preferred c-axis orientation along the (0002) plane. The XRD peaks shifted to low angles and the surface roughness became non-uniform with an increase in the RF power. Also, the PL emission peak was red-shifted. The carrier density and the mobility decreased with the RF power. For the n-ZnO/p-GaN LED, the forward current at 20 V decreased and the threshold voltage increased with the RF power. The EL emission peak was observed at approximately 435 nm and the luminescence intensity decreased. Consequently, the crystallinity of the ZnO thin films grown with RF sputtering powers were improved. However, excess Zn affected the structural, electrical and optical properties of the ZnO thin films when the optimal RF power was exceeded. This excess RF power will degrade the characteristics of light emitting devices.
