  • 투명 전도성 산화물 (TCO, Transparent Conductive Oxide) 박막을 태양전지에 적용하기 위해서는 우수한 전기 전도성 및 가시광 영역에서 높은 투과율을 가져야 한다. 대표적인 TCO 물질인 ITO (Indium tin oxide) 박막은 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성을 가지고 있지만 $400^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서는 전기저항이 급격히 증가하게 되어 실제 태양전지 패널에 적용했을 때 전기적 특성이 저하된다. 따라서 태양전지용 TCO 박막을 개발 시, 뛰어난 고온 안정성이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고온 안정적 특성을 지니는 Ga3+를 도핑한 ZnO 계열 TCO인 GZO/ITO multi-layered 박막을 증착하였다. 또한 buffer layer의 두께 변화 및 구조 제어를 통한 최위층 박막의 전기적 특성 및 결정성을 조사하였으며 다층 박막의 계면 간 특성 및 굴절률 제어를 통한 광학적 물성을 연구하였다.

  • Recently, we have seen a rapid advance in the evolving field of spin electronics (or spintronics). In spintronics, some feasibilities of new electronic applications utilizing spin degree of freedom have been explored. Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) are premising materials for spintronics because they have both charge and spin degree of freedom in a single substance. DMSs are refereed to semiconductor alloys in which some atoms are randomly substituted for by magnetic atoms. (omitted)

  • Properties of each layer in DSSC were investigated to improve solar cell characterstics. Also in this study, low costsolar simulator system is fabricated and used. Efficiency of DSSC is better in the case of thinner semiconductive layer, because thick semiconductive layer is acted as resistor. Sc-doped ZnO thin films showed better electrical property by proper donor doping effect. Among the dyes, DSSC containing N719 showed higher efficiency, because N719 have smaller electron affinity and shallow band gap.

  • We fabricated Zinc Oxide transparent conductive thin films with 2wt% of A1203 doping using rf magnetron sputtering. And we investigated electrical and optical characteristics of them which were made with conditions ; rf power 60-300W, thickness of film 3000 11000.angs.. Resistivity, carrier concentration and Hall mobility were investigated for electrical characteristics. Transmittance and optical band gap were investigated with Spectrophotometer in the wavelength range between 200-900 nm. As a result, ZnO thin film fabricated with rf power of 180W and thickness of 5000.angs. showed the best properties. At the best condition, the sample has resistivity of 1*10$\^$-4/.ohm.cm and transmittance of 95% in the visible range.

  • Bipolar pulsed dc magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 태양전지의 투명 전도막용으로 유리기판 위에 Al doped ZnO (AZO) 박막을 증착하였다. $400{\times}400\;mm$의 대면적 기판에 증착하기 위해서 $5{\times}25$ inch 대형 사각 AZO target (Al 2 wt%)을 사용했고, $50{\sim}250\;kHz$의 bipolar pulse를 인가하였다. 실제로는 $400{\times}400\;mm$ 면적의 기판에 slide glass 16개를 사용했으며, 약 700 nm 두께에서 두께와 투과도, 비저항의 균일도를 평가하였다. Bipolar pulse의 주파수 150 kHz일 때, 가장 우수한 특성을 갖는 AZO가 증착되었으며, $2.13{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$의 비저항에 가시광선 영역에서 82%의 투과율을 보였다. 또한, $400{\times}400\;mm$ 대면적 기판에서의 두께와 투과도, 비저항의 불균일도는 각각 5%, 1%, 9% 였다.

  • Oxide/metal/oxide (OMO) thin films were fabricated using amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (a-IGZO) and an Ag metal layer on a glass substrate at room temperature. The optical and electrical properties of the a-IGZO/Ag/a-IGZO samples changed systemically depending on the thickness of the Ag layer. The transmittance in the visible range tends to decrease as the Ag thickness increases while the resistivity, carrier concentration, and Hall mobility tend to improve. The a-IGZO/Ag (13 nm)/a-IGZO thin film with the optimum Ag thickness showed an average transmittance (Tav) of 71.7%, resistivity of 6.63 × 10−5 Ω·cm and Hall mobility of 15.22 cm2V−1s−1.
