ZnO thin films were prepared by rf-magnetron sputter at various conditions. Crystallinity, microstructure, chemical composition, and optical composition, and optical properties of the films were investigated as functions of substrate temperature (R. T.-50$0^{\circ}C$) an sputter gas (O2/Ar=0-50%). ZnO thin films grown at 50$0^{\circ}C$ with sputter gas of pure argon as well as at R. T. with sputter gas of a mixture of argon & oxygen(O2/Ar=2%) exhibit a strong tendency of (002) preferred orientation, compared with a considerable random orientation at the other conditions. The thin films with (002) preferred orientation has a chemical stoichiometry of Zn/O-1.01, a band gap of 3.3eV, and a packing density of 98% respectively.

ZnO-In$_2$O$_3$ films were fabricated on Corning 1737 glass substrate by an electron beam evaporation technique and their characteristics were investigated. The composition of ZnO-In$_2$O$_3$ films had a marked effect on the electrical properties of the films. The ZnO-In$_2$O$_3$ films showed superior transparent-conducting characteristics with increase of Zn content. The resistivity and carrier concentration of the film having Zn content of 45 at% are 4.45${\times}$10$^{-3}$ cm and 3.1${\times}$10$^{19}$ cm$^{-3}$ , respectively. Also, the transmittance was higher than 80% throughout the visible range. The average roughness of the film was 14.6 $\AA$ in terms of root mean square.

ZnO films on $Al_2O_3$ substrates were grown using a pulsed laser deposition method. Through photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, the optimum growth conditions for the ZnO growth were established. The results of the XRD measurements indicate that ZnO films were strongly oriented to the c-axis of the hexagonal structure and epitaxially crystallized under constraints created by the substrate. The full width half maximum for a theta curve of the (0002) peak was $0.201^{\circ}$. Also, from the PL measurements, the grown ZnO films were observed to give free exciton behaviour, which indicates a high quality of the epilayer. The Hall mobility and carrier density of the ZnO films at 293 K were estimated to be $299\;cm^2/V\;s$ and $8.27\;{\times}\;10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$, respectively. The absorption spectra revealed that the temperature dependance of the optical band gap on the ZnO films was $E_g(T)\;=\;3.439\;eV\;-\;(5.30\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;ev/K)T^2(367\;+\;T)$.

C-axis oriented zinc oxide thin films were deposited on Cornign 1737 glass substrate by an rf magnetron sputtering technique. The effects of deposition parameters and post heat-treatment on the crystallinity and electical properties of ZnO films were investigaed. As-deposited ZnO films showed the strong c-axis growth and excellent crystallinity under the deposition conditions as follows: substrate temperature 350$^{\circ}C$ ; growth and excellent crystallinity under the deposition conditions as follows ; substrate temperature 350$^{\circ}C$ rf power 75W ; gas pressure 6m Torr; percentage of oxygen 50% The higher heat-treating temperatue was the stronger c-axis growth and the better crystallinity of the deposited ZnO films were. The resistivity of ZnO films was significantly affected by deposition parameters and post heat-treatment. With increasing increased. After post heat-treating at 400$^{\circ}C$ in air the resistivity of ZnO films increased but post heat-treat-ing temperature 500$^{\circ}C$ rather diminished the film resistivity.

We have deposited ZnO thin films by ultraviolet (UV) enhanced atomic layer deposition using diethylznic (DEZ) and water (H2O) as precursors with UV light. The atomic layer deposition relies on alternating dose of the precursor on the surface and subsequent chemisorption of the precursors with self-limiting growth mechanism. Though ALD is useful to deposition conformal and precise thin film, the surface reactions of the atomic layer deposition are not completed at low temperature in many cases. In this experiment, we focused on the effects of UV radiation during the ALD process on the properties of the inorganic thin films. The surface reactions were found to be complementary enough to yield uniform inorganic thin films and fully react between DEZ and H2O at the low temperature by using UV irradiation. The UV light was effective to obtain conductive ZnO film. And the stability of TFT with UV-enhanced ZnO was improved than ZnO by thermal ALD method. High conductive UV-enhanced ZnO film have the potential to applicability of the transparent electrode.

ZnO films have been grown easily with the conventional thermal evaporation method on SiO$\_$2/ coated Si wafers. Anhydrous zinc acetate has been used as evaporation source. Zinc-acetate was directly heated in the laboratory-made brass boat. Zinc-acetate was sublimed at the boat temperature of about 220.deg. C. The substrates were heated to 600.deg. C with home made tantalium heater. Oxygen has been flowed into the deposition chamber to change the partial pressure of oxygen. X-ray diffraction patterns showed all the films to be amorphous. The films deposited at high oxygen pressure exhibit higher resistivity than films at low pressure. Energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) and rutherford backscattering spectrometry(RBS) were conducted on the films to reveal the composition of the ZnO films.

Thin films of ZnO are deposited by using an RF magnetron sputtering with varying the substrate temperature(RT~39$0^{\circ}C$) and RF power(50~250W). Cu-doped ZnO(denoted by ZnO:Cu) films have also been prepared by co-spputtering of a ZnO target on which some Cu-chips are attached. Different substrate materials, such as Si, $SiO_{2}/Si$, sapphire, DLC/Si, and poly-diamond/Si, are employed to compare the c-axial growth features of deposited ZnO films. Texture coefficient(TC) values for the (002)-preferential growth are estimated from the XRD spectra of deposited films. Optimal ranges of RF powers and substrate temperatures for obtaining high TC values are determined. Effects of Cu-doping conditions, such as relative Cu-chip sputtering areas, $O_{2}/(Ar+O_{2})$ mixing ratios, and reactor pressures, on TC values, electrical resistivities, and relative Cu-compositions of deposited ZnO:Cu films have been systematically investigated. XPS study shows that the relative densities of metallic $Cu(Cu^{0})$ atoms and $CuO(Cu^{2+})$-phases within deposited films may play an important role of determining their electrical resistivities. It should be noted from the experimental results that highly resistive(> $10^{10}{\Omega}cm$ ZnO films with high TC values(> 80%) can be achieved by Cu-doping. SAW devices with ZnO(or Zn):Cu)/IDT/$SiO_{2}$/Si configuration are also fabricated to estimate the effective electric-mechanical coupling coefficient($k_{eff}^{2}$) and the insertion loss. It is observed that the devices using the Cu-doped ZnO films have a higher $k_{eff}^{2}$ and a lower insertion loss, compared with those using the undoped films.

패키징 소재로의 응용을 위한 자외선 경화형 폴리우레탄 아크릴레이트/ZnO 나노복합필름을 ZnO의 함량을 달리하여 제조하였다. ZnO 함량을 달리하여 제조한 필름의 특성을 살펴보기 위하여 FTIR, WAXD, SEM, DSC, OTR, UV/VIS 그리고 antimicrobial test를 수행하였다. FTIR과 SEM결과는 PUA와 ZnO 나노입자 사이에 화학적 결합이나 상호작용이 약한 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이로 인해 무기 필러인 ZnO를 첨가하더라도 열적 특성의 향상을 나타내지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 ZnO 나노입자의 함량 증가에 따라 자외선 차단성과 항균성이 크게 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 산소 투과도는 ZnO의 함량이 증가함에 따라 $2005cc/m^2/day$에서 $150cc/m^2/day$로 크게 감소하였으며, 패키징 응용을 위한 차단성 필름으로서 응용 가능성이 높다는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 PUA/ZnO 필름의 물성은 무기필러의 분산상태와 필름의 모폴로지에 크게 관계가 있는 것을 확인하였다.

ZnO박막을 c-축 방향으로 실리콘(Si 100)기판 위에 rf 마그네트론 스퍼터링 법으로 증착 하였고, 증착변수가 박막의 결정학적, 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 기판온도 $200^{\circ}C$, rf전력이 150W, 산소:아르곤 가스의 비율이 50%:50%, 그리고 증착압력이 10mTorr의 조건에서 증착된 박막이 강한 c-축 성장과 우수한 결정성을 나타내었다. 증착변수의 변화에 의한 ZnO 박막의 전기비저항은 크게 영향을 받고 있었는데, 산소비율이 증가할수록, 기판온도가 감소할수록, 비저항이 증가하였다.

We report the preparation of N doped, p-type ZnO films by post-annealing in $NH_3$ ambient. The properties were examined by XRD, Hall-effect measurement, PL, and SIMS. ZnO films showed better crystallinity and electron concentration of $10^{15}-10^{17}/cm^3$ with post-annealing in $NH_3$ ambient. These films were converted to p-type ZnO by activation thermal annealing process at $800^{\circ}C$ under $N_2$ ambient. The electrical properties of the p-type ZnO showed a hole concentration of $1.06\times10^{16}/cm^3$, a mobility of $15.8cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, and a resistivity of $40.18\Omega{\cdot}cm$. The N doped ZnO films showed a strong photoluminescence peak at 3.306 eV at 13 K, which is closely related to neutral acceptor bound excitons of the p-type ZnO:N. In the SIMS spectra, the incorporation of nitrogen was confirmed.
