본 논문은 ZnO 분말 타겟을 스퍼터링하여 glass 기판 위에 증착한 ZnO 박막의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 보고한다. 소결된 ZnO ceramic target을 사용하는 보통의 radio-frequency magnetron sputtering과 달리 본 연구에서는 전처리과정이 필요하지 않은 ZnO 분말 target을 사용하였다. ZnO 박막은 wurtzite (0002) 우선배향면으로 성장하였다. 초기의 ZnO 박막은 매우 평평한 층구조로 증착되었고, 두께가 증가함에 따라 섬구조로 전이하였다. 400-1000 nm 광원에 대하여 평균 88% 이상의 광투과도를 나타내었으며, 220 nm 시편의 경우, 3.23 eV의 near bandedge emission 흡수단을 측정하였다.

The effect of co-sputtering condition on the structural properties of $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films grown by RF magnetron co-sputtering system was investigated for manufacturing UV LED. $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films were grown with ZnO and MgO target varying RF power. Structural properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films have sufficient crystallinity on the high ZnO power. The EDS analyzed showed that the Mg content in the $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ films decreased from 3.99 to 24.27 at.% as the RF power of ZnO target increased. The Mg content in the $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ films could be controlled by co-sputtering power.

ZnO is a wide-bandgap II-VI semiconductor and has a variety of potential application. ZnO exhibits good piezoelectric, photoelectric and optic properties, and is good for a electroluminescence device. ZnO films have been deposited at (0001) shappire by PLD technique. Chamber was evacuated by turbomolecular pump to a base pressure of $1{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr Nd:YAG pulsed laser was operated at ${\lambda}=355nm$. The ZnO films were deposited at oxygen pressures from base to 500 mTorr. The substrate temperatures was increased from $200^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. At aleady works, UV emission and green-yellow PL was observed. In this work, ZnO films showed UV, violet, green and yellow emissions. UV emission was enhanced by increasing partial oxygen pressure. We investigated relationship between partial oxygen pressure and UV emission.

In this paper, aluminum doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) thin films on plastic substrate such as poly carbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering method for flexible solar cell applications. Effects of the sputter pressure on the structural, electrical and optical properties were investigated. The crystallinity and the degree of the (002) orientation were deteriorated with increasing the sputter pressure. When the sputter pressure was higher, the conductivity of ZnO:Al films was improved because of the high carrier concentration and the Hall mobility. High quality ZnO:Al films with resistivity as low as $1.9{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}-cm$ and the optical transmittance over 80 % in the visible region have been obtained on PC substrate at 2 mTorr.

ZnO thin films for light emission device have been deposited on sapphire and silicon substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique(PLD). A Nd:YAG laser was used with the wavelength of355 nm. In order to investigate the emission properties of ZnO thin films, Pl measurements with an Ar ion laser a light source using an excitation wavelength of 351 nm and a power of 100 mW are used. All spectra were taken at room temperature by using a grating spectrometer and a photomultiplier detector. ZnO exhibited Pl bands centers around 390, 510 and 640 nm, labeled near ultra-violet(UV), green and orange bands. Structural properties of ZnO thin films are analyzed with X-ray diffraction(XRD).

ZnO is well-known as a promising material for optical communication systems and electronic displays. ZnO:Er thin films were deposited on c-plane sapphire substrates by rf magnetron sputtering, and the effects of sputtering parameters and the annealing conditions on the luminescence in the visible range were investigated. Luminescent properties depended on the crystallinity of films and annealing atmosphere. Highly c-axis oriented ZnO:Er films showed a strong emission band at 465 nm and a weak emission at 525 nm due to the energy transition of $^{4}I_{15/2}-^{4}F_{5/2}\;and\;^{4}I_{15/2}-^{2}H_{11/2}$, respectively. ZnO:Er thin films annealed at air atmosphere were superior to those annealed in $H_2$ in photoluminescence intensity.

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.
