  • $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$(CZTSe) is emerged as a promising material for thin-film solar cells because of non-toxic, inexpensive and earth abundant more than $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ materials. For fabricating compound semiconductor thin-film solar cells, CdS is widely used for a buffer layer which fabricated by a chemical bath deposition method (CBD). Through the experiment, we controlled deposition temperature and mol ratio of solution conditions to find the proper grain 크기 and exact composition. The optimum CdS layers were characterized in terms of surface morphology by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The optimized CdS layer process was applied on CZTSe thin-films. The thickness of buffer layer related with device performance of solar cells which controlled by deposition time. Local surface potential of CdS/CZTSe thin-films was investigated by Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). From these results, we can deduce local electric properties with different thickness of buffer layer on CZTSe thin-films. Therefore, we investigated the effect of CdS buffer layer thickness on the CZTSe thin-films for decreasing device losses. From this study, we can suggest buffer layer thickness which contributes to efficiencies and device performance of CZTSe thin-film solar cells.

  • In this investigation, we prepared a 1 and 3-parallel serpentine single PEMFC, which has an active area of $100\;cm^2$ and a flow channel cross section of $1{\times}1mm$. Distribution and transport of water in a non-operating PEMFC were observed by varying flow types and the flow rates (250, 400, and 850 cc/min). This investigation was performed at the neutron imaging facility at the CO1d Neutron RAdiography facility (CONRAD), HMI, Germany of which the collimation ratio and neutron fluence rate are 250, $1{\times}10^{6}n/s/cm^2$, respectively. The neutron image was continuously recorded by a scintillator and lens-CCD coupled detector system every 10 seconds. It has been observed that although the distilled water was supplied into the cathode channel only, the neutron image showed a water movement from the cathode to the anode channel. The water at the cathode channel was completely discharged as soon as the pressurized air was supplied. But the water at the anode channel was not easily removed by the pressurized air except for the 3-parallel serpentine type with 850cc/min of air flow rate. Moreover, the water at the MEA wasn't removed for any of the cases.

  • 현재 LCD용 기판재료는 ITO/glass를 전극으로 사용하고 있다. 그러나 유리기판은 무겁고 깨지기 쉽기 때문에 사용상 곤란한 점이 많다. 최근 flexible하고 가공성 및 생산성이 우수한 플라스틱한 ITO를 성막하여 EL용, Touch panel, plastic LCD용 사용하려는 시도로, roll-to-roll 연속 스퍼터링에 의한 ITO성막공정에 대한 연구가 최근 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 폴리머는 유리에 비해 Tg 온도가 낮고, 기판으로부터의 수분 및 여러 종류의 가스방출이 심하기 때문에 유리와는 달리 ITO막의 제조에 있어 큰 차이점이 있다. 따라서, 폴리머에 반응성 스퍼터링을 하기 위해서는 표면처리가 중요한 변수가 되며, roll to roll sputter로 ITO 필름을 얻기 위해서는 폭과 길이 방향으로 균일한 막을 얻는 것이 중요하다. 두께 75$\mu\textrm{m}$, 폭 190mm, 길이 400m로 권취된 광학용 Polyethylene terephthalate(PET:Tg:8$0^{\circ}C$)위에 In-10%Sn의 합금타겟과 Unipolar pulsed DC power supply를 사용하여 반응성 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 0.2m/min의 속도로 연속 스퍼터링 하였다. PET를 Ar/O2 혼합가스로 플라즈마 전처리를 한 후, AFM, XPS를 이용하여 효과를 분석을 하였고, 성막전에 가스방출을 막기 위해 TiO를 코팅하였다. Pilot 연속 생산공정에서 재현성을 위해 PEM(Plasma Emission Monitor)의 optical emission spectroscopy를 이용, 금속과 산화물의 천이구역에서 sprtter된 I/Sn 이온과 산소 이온의 반응에 의한 최적의 플라즈마의 강도값을 입력하여 플라즈마의 radiation을 검출하고, 스퍼터링 공정중 실질적인 in-situ 정보로 이용하였다. PEM을 통하여 In/Sn의 플라즈마 강도변화를 조사하였다. 초기 In/Sn의 플라즈마 강도(intensity)는 강도를 100하여, 산소를 주입한 결과, plasma intensity가 35 줄어들었고, 이때 우수한 ITO 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. Pulsed DC power를 사용하여 아크 현상을 방지하였다. PET 상에 coating 된 ITO 박막의 표면저항과 광투과도는 4-point prove와 spectrophotometer를 이용하여 분석하였고, AES로 박막의 두께에 따른 성분비를 확인하였다. ITO 박막의 광투과도는 산소의 유량과 sputter 된 In/Sn ion의 plasma emission peak에 따라 72%-92%까지 변화하였으며, 저항은 37$\Omega$/$\square$ 이상을 나타내었다. 박막의 Sn/In atomic ratio는 0.12, O/In의 비율은 In2O3의 화학양론적 비율인 1.5보다 작은 1.3을 나타내었다.

  • We focus on two Galactic molecular clouds that are located in wholly different environments and both are observed by FIMS instrument onboard STSAT-1. The Draco cloud is known as a translucent molecular cloud at high Galactic latitude. The FUV spectra show important ionic lines of C IV, Si IV+O IV], Si II* and Al II, indicating the existence of hot and warm interstellar gases in the region. The enhanced C IV emission inside the Draco cloud region is attributable to the turbulent mixing of the interacting cold and warm/hot media, which is supported by the detection of the O III] emission line and the $H{\alpha}$ feature in this region. The Si II* emission covers the remainder of the region outside the Draco cloud, in agreement with previous observations of Galactic halos. Additionally, the H2 fluorescent map is consistent with the morphology of the atomic neutral hydrogen and dust emission of the Draco cloud. In the Aquila Rift region near Galactic plane, FIMS observed that the FUV continuum emission from the core of the Aquila Rift suffers heavy dust extinction. The entire field is divided into three sub-regions that are known as the- "halo," "diffuse," and "star-forming" regions. The "diffuse" and "star-forming" regions show various prominent H2 fluorescent emission lines, while the "halo" region indicates the general ubiquitous characteristics of H2. The CLOUD model and the FUV line ratio are included here to investigate the physical conditions of each sub-region. Finally, the development of an infrared imaging system known as the MIRIS instrument onboard STSAT-3 is briefly introduced. It can be used in WIM studies through $Pa{\alpha}$ observations.

  • We have investigated seven Extreme-Ultraviolet (EUV) bright points in the active region (AR 10926) on 2006 December 2 by the EUV imaging spectrometer (EIS) onboard Hinode spacecraft. We determined their Doppler velocities and non-thermal velocities from 15 EUV spectral lines (log T=4.7-7.2) by fitting each line profile to a Gaussian function. We present the Doppler velocity map as a function of temperature which corresponds to a different height. As a result, these active region bright points show two different types of characteristics. Type 1 bright point shows a systematic increase of Doppler velocity from -68 km/s (blue shift) at log T=4.7 to 27 km/s (red shift) at log T=6.7, while type 2 bright points have Doppler velocities in the range of -20 km/s and 20 km/s. Using MDI magnetograms, we found that only type 1 bright point was associated with the canceling magnetic feature at the rate of $2.4{\times}10^{18}$ Mx/hour. When assuming that these bright points are caused by magnetic reconnection and the Doppler shift indicates reconnection out flow, the pattern of the Doppler shift implies that type 1 bright point should be related to low atmosphere magnetic reconnection. We also determined electron densities from line ratio as well as temperatures from emission measure loci using CHIANTI atomic database. The electron densities of all bright points are comparable to typical values of active regions (log Ne=9.9-10.4). For the temperature analysis, the emission loci plots indicate that these bright points should not be isothermal though background is isothermal. The DEM analysis also show that while the background has a single peak distribution (isothermal), the EUV bright points, double peak distributions.

  • New single-source precursor, [AlCI3:NH2tBu] was synthesized for AlN thin f film processing with AICI3 (Aluminum Chloride) and tBuNH2 (tert-butylamine). AlN thin films for packaging aspplication were deposited on sapphire substrate by a atmosph하ie-pressure MOCVD. In most of other study methyl-based AI precursors w were used for source, But herein Aluminum Chloride was used for as AI source i in order to prevent the carbon contamination in the films and stabilize the p precursor. New precursor showed the very high gas vapor pressure so it allowed to m make the film under atmospheric-pressure and get the high purified film. High q quality AlN thin film was obtained at 700 to $900^{\circ}C$. The new precursor was p purified by a sublimation technique and help to fabricate high purity film. It s showed high vapor pressure, which is able to a critieal factor for the high purity a and atmospheric CVD of AlN. High Quality AIN thin film was obtained at $700-900^{\circ}C$.

  • $(Ga_2O_3)_x(ZnO)_{100-x}$ (GZO) films were prepared at room temperature by using a facing target sputtering (FTS) system and their electrical resistivites was investigated as a function of the $Ga_2O_3$ content. The GZO film with an atomic ratio of $Ga_2O_3$ of x= 7 wt.%, shows the lowest resistivity of $7.5{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. The GZO films were also prepared at various substrate temperatures from room temperature to $300^{\circ}C$, and their electrical resistivity was found to be improved as the substrate temperature was increased, A very low resistivity of $2.8{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ that is almost comparable with that of ITO film was obtained in the GZO films prepared at the substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ by using the FTS.

  • 그래핀은 차세대 2차원 물질로서 지금까지 활발히 연구되어 왔으나 밴드갭이 없기 때문에 전자소자로서의 응용이 매우 제한적이다. 최근에 그래핀을 대체할 수 있는 물질로서 Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs)가 주목을 받고 있다. 특히, TMDs 중에서 $MoS_2$는 bulk일 때 indirect한 1.2 eV인 밴드 갭을 갖고 있으나, layer가 줄어들면서 direct한 1.8 eV인 밴드갭을 가진다. 국내외 여러 연구 그룹에서 $MoS_2$를 이용하여 제작한 Field Effect Transistor (FET)는 high-$\small{K}$ gate가 산입되지 않은 경우에 on-off ratio와 mobility가 각각 $10^6$와 약 $3cm^2/Vs$로 나타나고 있다. 이와 같이 아주 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성을 갖는 소자 응용성을 가지고 있다. 최근까지의 연구결과들은 대부분 mechanical exfoliation method (MEM) 로 제작된 $MoS_2$ monolayer를 이용하였으나, 이 방법은 large scale 및 layer controllable에는 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 대면적의 집적회로 응용에 적합한 chemical vapor deposition법을 이용하여 $MoS_2$를 성장하였다. 높은 결정성을 위해 sulphur (powder purity 99.99%)와 molybdenum trioxide(powder purity 99.9%)를 이용하고, Ar 가스 분위기에서 sulphur powder 및 molybdenum trioxide powder를 각각 $130^{\circ}C$$1000^{\circ}C$로 유지하며 $MoS_2$ 박막을 성장하였다. 성장된 $MoS_2$ 박막은 Atomic force Microscopy (AFM)을 통해 박막의 단차와 roughness을 확인하였다. 또한, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern 분석으로 박막의 결정성을 확인하였으며, Raman Spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Photoluminescence (PL) 측정으로 광학적 특성을 분석하였다.
