본 연구에서는 다결정 실리콘 태양전지 응용을 위한 다결정 실리콘 씨앗층의 제조와 그의 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 다결정 실리콘 씨앗층은 glass/Al/$Al_2O_3$/a-Si 구조를 이용하여 aluminum-induced layer exchange(ALILE) 고정으로 제조하였으며, 자연산화막부터 50 nm까지 다양한 크기로 $Al_2O_3$ 막두께를 변화시켜 알루미늄 유도 결정화 공정에서 막의 두께가 결정화 특성 및 결정결함, 결정크기에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 연구결과, ALILE 공정으로 생성된 다결정 실리콘막의 결함은 $Al_2O_3$ 막의 두께가 증가할수록 함께 증가한 반면, 결정화 정도와 결정입자의 크기는 $Al_2O_3$막의 두께가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 본 실험에서는 16 nm 두께 이하의 앓은 $Al_2O_3$ 막의 구조에서 평균 약 $10\;{\mu}m$ 크기의 sub-grain 결정립을 얻었으며, 결정성은 <111> 방향의 우선 배향성 특성을 보였다.

Radio frequency magnetron sputtering방법으로 타켈의 Ti/si 조성과 $N_2$ 유량을 변화시켜 증착한 다양한 조성비의 Ti-Si-N 박막의 비저항 변화와 확산방지능력을 조사하였다. 높은 Si 함량을 포함한 Ti-Si-N박막내의 Si은 주로 비정질의 $Si_3N_4$ 형태로 존재하였으며 $N_2$의 양이 증가함에 따라 비저항도 증가하였다. 반면, 낮은 Si 함량을 포함한 Ti-Si-N박막은 낮은 $N_2$ 유량에서도 결정질의 TiN이 형성되었고 낮은 비저항을 나타내었다. 또한, 박막내의 N의 양이 증가함에 따라, 높은 박막의 밀도와 압축응력을 갖는 Ti-Si-N이 형성되었으며, 이는 박막 내의 N의 함량이 확산방지능력에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나로 판단된다. 결과적으로, 29~49 at.%, Ti, 6~20 at.% Si, 45~55 at.% N 범위의 조성을 갖는 Ti-Si-N박막이 우수한 확산 억제 능력을 보유하면서 또한 낮은 비저항 특성을 나타내는데 적합한 조성 범위로 나타났다.

Globally, the interest of renewable energy has become an upsurge. Especially, the solar industry is the one which is getting rapid growth rate. Many of researchers have been undertaking to improve the efficiency of solar cell to accomplish grid parity. The most of research has been concentrated on two methods, one on the selective emitter and the other is on LBSF (Local Back Surface Field) formation. Laser patterning will be needed to eliminate the thin film to form selective emitter and LBSF of solar cell. This paper reports some experimental results in laser patterning process for high-efficiency crystalline solar cell manufacturing. The experimental results indicate that the patterning quality depends on the average power and repetition rate of laser. The experimental results prove that the laser patterning process is an advantageous method to improve the efficiency of solar cell.

This study examined the dependency of crystalline orientation and electric properties of sol-gel PZT film on hydrolysis, a $PbTiO_3$ seed layer and a concentration of sol-gel solution. The PZT thin films were prepared by using 2-Methoxyethanol-based sol-gel method and spin-coating on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates. The 1-${\mu}m$-thick PZT films were coated and then fired in a furnace by direct insert method. The highly (111) oriented PZT film of pure perovskite structure could be obtained. We could control the degree of orientation by various parameters such as hydrolysis, a $PbTiO_3$ seed layer and a concentration of sol-gel solution. The highest measured remanent polarization, dielectric constant and piezoelectric coefficient are $24.16\;{\mu}C/cm^2$, 2808, and 159 pC/N, respectively.

The growth properties of diamond grain were examined by Raman spectroscopy and microscope images. Diamond thin films were prepared on single crystal Si wafers by microwave Plasma chemical vapor deposition. Preparation conditions, substrate temperature, boron concentration and deposition time were controlled differently. Prepared diamond thin films have different surface morphology and grain size respectively Diamond grain size was gradually changed by substrate temperature. The biggest diamond grain size was observed in the substrate, which has highest temperature. The diamond grain size by boron concentration was slightly changed but morphology of diamond grain became amorphous according to increasing of boron concentration. Time was also needed to be a big diamond grain. However, time was not a main factor for being a big diamond grain. Raman spectra of diamond film, which was deposited at high substrate temperature, showed sharp peaks at 1334$cm^{-1}$ / and these were characteristics of crystalline diamond. A broad peak centered at 1550$cm^{-1}$ /, corresponding to non-diamond component (sp$^2$carbon), could be observed in the substrate, which has low temperature.

본 연구에서는 박막 증착시 발생되는 $\gamma$-전자와 같은 고에너지 입자들의 막 충돌에 의한 손상이 적은 대향타겟식 스퍼터링 장치를 이용하여 $SiO_2$/Si 기판강에 ZnO 박막을 제작하였으며, 막의 결정성에 악 영향을 미치는 초기 성장층을 제어 할 수 있는 ZnO buffer-layer를 도입하여 박막의 결정학적 특성을 알아보았다. 제작된 박막의 결정성 및 c-축 우선배향성은 XRD를 사용하여 측정하였다. 측정 결과 ZnO buffer layer의 두께 10, 20 nm와 가스압력 1 mTorr일 때 ZnO 박막의 결정성이 가장 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents a process optimization of antireflection (AR) coating on crystalline Si solar cells. Theoretical and experimental investigations were performed on a double-layer AR (DLAR) coating of MgF$_2$/CeO$_2$. We investigated CeO$_2$ films as an AR layer because they have a proper refractive index of 2.46 and demonstrate the same lattice constant as Si substrate. RF sputter grown CeO$_2$ film showed strong dependence on a deposition temperature. The CeO$_2$ deposited at 40$0^{\circ}C$ exhibited a strong (111) preferred orientation and the lowest surface roughness of 6.87 $\AA$. Refractive index of MgF$_2$ film was measured as 1.386 for the most of growth temperature. An optimized DLAR coating showed a reflectance as low as 2.04% in the wavelengths ranged from 0.4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. We achieved the efficiencies of solar cells greater than 15% with 3.12% improvement with DLAR coatings. Further details on MgF$_2$, CeO$_2$ films, and cell fabrication parameters are presented in this paper.

Crystalline and micro-structural characteristics of ZnO thin films which were deposited on p-Si(100) with cooling naturally down of pre-heated substrate during RF magnetron sputter deposition, were investigated by XRD and SEM in this paper. The film which was prepared on the substrate which was pre-heated to $400^{\circ}C$ before deposition and then cooled naturally down during deposition, showed the most outstanding c-axis preferred orientation. The ZnO thin film having the best crystalline result were applied to SMR type FBAR device and resonance properties of the device were investigated by network analyzer. It showed that resonance frequency was 2.05 GHz, return loss was -30.64 dB, quality factor was 3169 and electromechanical coupling factor was 0.4 %. This deposition method would be very useful for application of surface acoustic wave filter or film bulk acoustic wave resonator.

In this paper, experimental analyses have been performed to compare the electrical characteristics of n channel LT(low temperature) and HT(high temperature) poly-Si TFTs(polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors) on quartz substrate according to activated step annealing. The size of the particles step annealed at low temperature are bigger than high temperature poly-Si TFTs and measurements show that the electric characteristics those are transconductance, threshold voltage, electric effective mobility, on and off current of step annealed at LT poly-Si TFTs are high more than HT poly-Si TFT's. Especially we can estimated the defect in the activated grade poly crystalline silicon and the grain boundary of LT poly-Si TFT have more high than HT poly-Si TFT's due to high off electric current. Even though the size of particles of step annealed at low temperature, the electrical characteristics of LT poly-Si TFTs were investigated deterioration phenomena that is decrease on/off current ratio depend on high off current due to defects in active silicon layer.
