We have developed ZnO TFT array using conventional photolithography and wet etching processes. Transparent 20 nm of ultra thin ZnO film deposited by means of plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition at $100^{\circ}C$ was used for the active channel. The ZnO TFT has a mobility of $0.59cm^2/V.s$, a threshold voltage of 7.2V, sub-threshold swing of 0.64V/dec., and an on/off ratio of $10^8$.

Pentacene OTFTs of $Al_2O_3$ insulator treated with a diluted PMMA were fabricated for the application of the low voltage operation and large area displays. The operation voltage of 15 V and the mobility of 0.35 $cm^2/Vsec$ are obtained even adopting the thick dielectric of 100 nm which was deposited by atomic layer deposition at the temperature of $150^{\circ}C$. The current on-off ratio was $4.1{\times}10^4$ for the OTFTs treated with 9:1 PMMA and good saturation characteristics were obtained as drain voltage increases.

Highly sensitive and mechanically stable gas sensors have been fabricated using the microfabrication and micromaching techniques. The sensing material used to detect the offensive trimethylarnine ((CH$_{3}$)$_{3}$N) gas is 6 wt% $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$-doped, 1000.angs.-thick ZnO deposited by r. f. magnetron sputtering. The optimum operating temperature of the sensor is 350.deg.C and the corresponding heater power is about 85mW. Excellent thermal insulation is achieved by the use of a double-layer structure of 0.2.mu.m -thick silicon nitride and 1.4.mu.m-thick phosphosilicate glass(PSG) prepared by low pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD) and atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition(APCVD), respectively. The sensors are mechanically stable enough to endure at least 43, 200 heat cycles between room temperature and 350.deg. C.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) bottom-contact thin-film transistors (TFTs) were prepared by the use of injector type atomic layer deposition. Two hybrid gate oxide systems of different polarity polymers with silicon oxide were examined with the aim of improving the properties of the transistors. The mobility and threshold voltage of a ZnO TFT with a poly(4-dimethylsilyl styrene) (Si-PS)/silicon oxide hybrid gate dielectric had values of 0.41 $cm^2/Vs$ and 24.4 V, and for polyimide/silicon oxide these values were 0.41 $cm^2/Vs$ and 24.4 V, respectively. The good hysteresis property was obtained with the dielectric of hydrophobicity. The solid output saturation behavior of ZnO TFTs was demonstrated with a $10^6$ on-off ratio.

Nano-sized Sn particles were coated with Ni-P layer using an electroless deposition method and their anodic performance was tested for lithium secondary batteries. Uniform coating layers were obtained, of which the thickness was controlled by varying the $Ni^{2+}$ concentration in the plating bath. It was found that the Ni-P layer plays two important roles in improving the anodic performance of Sn powder electrode. First, it prevents the inter-particle aggregation between Sn particles during the charge/discharge process. Second, it provides an electrical conduction pathway to the Sn particles, which allows an electrode fabrication without an addition of conductive carbon. A pseudo-optimized sample showed a good cyclability and high capacity ($>400mAh\;g^{-1}$) even without conductive carbon loading.

We have grown GaN layers with in-situ SiN mask by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and study the characteristic of the GaN layer. We have changed the deposition time of SiN mask from 45s to 5min and obtain th optimum condition in 45s. The PL intensity of GaN with SiN mask improved 2 times to that without SiN mask and the carrier concentraion increased from $3.5{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$ to $1.8{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$. We have thus shown that the SiN mask improved significantly the optical properties of the GaN layer.

Good quality superconducting $YBa_2Cu_30_{7-{\delta}}$(YBCO) thin films were grown on Hastelloy (Ni-Cr-Mo alloys) with yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) buffer layers by in situ pulsed laser deposition in a multi-target processing chamber. Generally, Hastelloy exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion, fatigue, thermal shock, impact, and erosion. However, it is difficult to make films on flexible metallic substrates due to interdiffusion problems between metallic substrates and superconducting overlayers. To overcome this difficulty, it is necessary to use YSZ buffer layer since it will not only limit the interdiffusion process but also minimize the surface microcrack formation due to smaller mismatch between the film and the substrate. In order to enhance the crystallinity of YBCO films on metallic substrates, YSZ buffer layers were grown at various temperatures different from the deposition temperature of YBCO films. On YSZ buffer layer grown at higher temperature than that for depositing YBCO film, the YBCO thin film was found to be textured with c-axis orientation by x-ray diffraction and had a zero-resistance critical temperature of about 85K.

Inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite solar cells have demonstrated a significant achievement by reaching a certified power conversion efficiency of 25.2% in 2019 as compared to that of 3.8% in 2009. However, organic hole conductors such as PTAA and spiro-OMeTAD are known to be expensive and unstable when they are exposed to operational conditions. In this study, the inorganic hole conductor CuSCN was used to overcome such concerns. The influence of dipropyl sulfide (DPS) and diethyl sulfide (DES) as CuSCN deposition solvents on the underlying perovskite active layer was investigated. DES solvent was observed to be advantageous in terms of CuSCN solubility and mild for the perovskite layer, thereby resulting in a power conversion efficiency of 16.9%.

Organic-inorganic hybrid materials have attracted because of its combined properties, such as flexibility and high electrical performance. In addition, the hybrid materials are expected to have synergic effect which are not shown in just one component. Here, we fabricated organic-inorganic hybrid thin film. Organic-inorganic hybrid thin film have been deposited from diethyl zinc and 1, 2, 4-trihydroxybenzene (THB) by molecular layer deposition (MLD). UV-VIS, Using Infrared spectrum and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirm that Zinc and THB hybrid film (ZnTHB) consist of Zn-O and THB - oxide units and the micro structure and composition of hybrid film. hat the sequential surface reactions of diethyl zinc and ethylene glycol are sufficiently self-limiting and saturating to enable well-controlled MLD growth. Transmission electron microscopy image shows lamination growth of ZnTHB film according to cycle.

CdTe계와 CGIS계 태양전지의 광투과층으로 CdS 박막이 많이 사용된다. Cds 박막의 필요한 물성으로는 높은 광투과도와 얇은 두께이다. 광투과층으로 사용되는 CdS 막의 광투과도가 높아야 많은 양의 빛이 손실 없이 투과하여 광흡수층인 CIGS에 도달할 수 있다. 특히, CdS막의 두께가 얇으면 밴드 갭 이상의 에너지를 가지는 파장의 빛도 투과시킬 수 있어 태양전지의 효율의 증가을 얻을 수가 있다. 그러나 CdS 막의 두께가 얇을 경우, pinhole이 생성되는 등 막의 균질성이 문제가 된다. 본 연구에서는 높은 변환 효율을 갖는 CIGS 박막 태양전지 제작에 적합한 chemical bath depostion(츙)법을 이용하여 CdS 박막을 제조하였다. 또한 반응시간, Cd 및 S source 비와 같은 증착 조건에 따른 박막의 특성을 조사하였다.
