현재 투명 전도성 산화물로 널리 사용되고 있는 ITO등의 물질들이 갖는 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 ZnO 에 Ga이나 Al등의 불순물을 첨가하여 투명 전도성 재료로써 이에 대한 연구가 진행중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터법으로 Al이 첨가된 ZnO:Al Ceramic 타겟으로 Coring 1737 유리기판과 파손의 우려가 적고 유연성을 갖는 $25{\mu}m$ 두께의 polyimide(PI) 기판위에 박막을 증착하여 특성을 비교 조사하였다.

We investigated the electrical and optical properties of ZnO:Al thin films as a function of the thermal process conditions. The film was prepared by RF magnetron sputtering followed by annealing in a box furnace in air. An ZnO:Al (98:2) alloy with the purity of 99.99% (3 inch diameter) was used as the target material. The electrical properties of the transparent electrode, exhibited surface oxidation as a result of rapid oxygen absorption with increasing annealing temperature. The processed ZnO:Al films and commercial ITO(indium-tin-oxide) were applied to an OLED stack to investigate the current density and luminescence efficiency. The efficiency of the device using the ZnO:Al electrode was higher than that from the device using the ITO electrode.

In an effort to improve the electrical properties of ZnO:Al transparent electrode films, post-annealing treatment in hydrogen atmosphere was attempted with varying annealing time at 573 K for compatibility with typical display device fabrication processes. It was observed that carrier concentrations and mobilities increased with longer annealing time with small changes in crystallinity. This resulted in substantial decrease in resistivity from $4.80{\times}10^{-3}$ to $8.30{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ due to increased carrier concentration. Such improvements in electrical properties are attributed to the passivation of the grain boundary surfaces. The optical properties of the films, which changed in accordance with the Burstein-Moss effect, were consistent with the observed changes in electrical properties.

투명전극으로 사용되는 ITO는 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성으로 인하여 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만, ITO는 저온공정의 어려움과 ITO의 원료물질인 In의 수급이 불안정하여 원자재의 가격이 높고, 수소 플라즈마에 노출시 열화로 인한 광학적 특성의 변화가 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ITO 투명전극을 대체하기 위한 실험으로 Al 이 도핑된 ZnO(ZnO:Al) 박막을 상온에서 유리기판 위에 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터 법을 이용하여 제조하였다. 증착된 박막은 ITO물질을 대체하기 위한 투명전극으로의 응용을 위해 후 열처리를 실시하였다. 설정된 열처리 온도는 각각 400도와 300도로 설정하였고 열처리 시간에 따른 변화를 관찰하였다. 열처리된 시편은 각각 XRD, SEM, Hall, U/V 측정을 하여 변화를 관찰하였다.

The chemical, electrical, and optical properties of ZnO and Al-doped ZnO films after high temperature annealing were studied. The resistivity increased significantly after annealing at $600^{\circ}C$ under $10^{-10}$ Torr atmosphere. The mechanism of the resistivity change was explored using photoemission spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectrometer. The results indicated that the amount of oxygen deficient region O-Zn bonds decreased and oxygen vacancy was decreased after the high temperature vacuum annealing. The increase in the resistivity of ZnO and Al-doped ZnO films was resulted from the decrease in carrier concentration due to a decrease in the amount of oxygen deficiency.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been widely studied for its practical applications such as transparent conduction electrodes for flat panel displays and solar cells. Especially, ZnO films show good chemical stability against hydrogen plasma, absence of toxicity, abundance in nature, and then suitable for photovoltaic applications. However, the fabrication process of thin film solar cells require a high substrate temperature and/or post heat treatment. Therefore, the layers have to withstand high temperatures, requiring an excellent stability without degrading their electronic and optical properties. In this paper, we investigated the stability of zinc oxide (ZnO) films doped with aluminum and hydrogen. Doped ZnO films were prepared by r.f. magnetron sputter and followed by heat treatment at different temperatures and for various times.

Glass/SiNx/ZnO 적층 박막구조의 SAW 특성 변화를 분석하였다. ZnO 박막은 rf magnetron sputter를 이용하여, 산소를 반응성 가스로 Ar과 함께 진공챔버내에 주입시켜 증착하였고, 주로 산소량에 따른 박막의 특성변화를 관찰하였다. 산소분압은 ZnO 박막의 증착속도 및 결정성에 많은 영향을 주고 있었으며, rocking curve의 결과에 의하면 (002) 배향성을 가진 ZnO 박막의 c-축 수직도가 Ar과 산소의 유량비가 67/33에서 가장 좋은 2.17도를 보여주고 있다. 이 값은 ZnO 박막을 압전요소로 사용하기에 충분한 조건이다. SiNx의 두께를 7000Å, ZnO 박막의 두께를 5μm로 한 glass/SiNx/Al/ZnO의 박막 적층 구조의 SAW 특성을 보면 ZnO/glass 구조와 비교시 SAW 속도가 최대 2.2%까지 증가했음을 알 수 있었다.

The influence of microstructure nonuniformity on the electrical characteristics of ZnO varistors was analyzed with the added amount of $Al_2$O$_3$ dopants. $Al_2$O$_3$ doping can effectively inhibit grain growth. When $Al_2$O$_3$ content is in the range between 0-0.1 %, the average grain size and the standard deviation decrease quickly and the grain growth is strongly inhibited. Therefore, it is possible to increase the microstructure uniformity by accurate addition of $Al_2$O$_3$ to the ZnO varistor. The breakdown voltage increases with the decrease of standard deviation. The greater the uniformity of the Zno varistor means the higher the global breakdown voltage. The $Al_2$O$_3$ dopants having about 0-0.023 wt% content can effectively improve the voltage ratio, and the voltage ratio reaches a minimum value of 2.32 at an $Al_2$O$_3$ content of 0.005 wt%.

Tin doped indium oxide(ITO) and Al doped zinc oxide(ZnO:Al) films, which are widely used as a transparent conductor in optoelectronic devices such as solar cell, liquid crystal display, plasma display panel, thermal heater, and other sensors, were prepared by using the capacitively coupled DC magnetron sputtering method. The electrical and optical properties of both the ITO and ZnO:Al thin films were investigated as functions of substrate temperature, working gas pressure and deposition time. ITO and ZnO:Al films with the the present experimental conditions of temperature and pressure showed resistivity of $2.36{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm,\;9.42{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm$ and transmittance of 86.28%, 90.88% in the wavelength range of the visible spectrum, respectively.
