We have investigated the characteristics of transparent indium zinc oxide(IZO)/Ag/IZO multilayer electrode grown on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates using a specially designed roll-to-roll sputtering system for use in flexible device are described. By the continuous R2R sputtering of the bottom IZO, Ag, and top IZO layers at room temperature, we were able to fabricate an IZO-Ag-IZO multilayer electrode with a sheet resistance of 6.15 ${\Omega}$/square, optical transmittance of 87.4 %, and figure of merit value of 42.03 10-3 ${\Omega}$-1. In addition, the IZO-Ag-IZO multilayer electrode exhibited superior flexibility to the RTR sputter grown single ITO electrode, due to the existence a ductile Ag layer between the IZO layers. This indicates that the RTR sputtered IZO-Ag-IZO multilayer is a promising flexible electrode that can substitute for the conventional single ITO electrode grown by bath type sputtering for use in low cost flexible device, due to its low resistance, high transparency, superior flexibility and fast preparation by the R2R process.

Multilayer transparent electrodes, having a much lower electrical resistance than the widely used transparent conducting oxide electrodes, were prepared by using radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The multilayer structure consisted of five layers, indium tin oxided(ITO)/zinc oxide(ZnO)/Ag/oxide(ZnO)/ITO. With about 50nm thick ITO films, the multilayer showed a high optical transmittance in the visible range of the spectrum and had color neutrality. The electrical and optical properties of ITO/ZnO/Ag/ZnO/ITO multilayer were changed mainly by Ag film properties, which were affected by the deposition process of the upper layer. Especially ZnO layer was improved to adhesion of Ag and ITO. A high quality transparent electrode, having a resistance as low as and a high optical transmittance of 91% at 550nm, was obtained. It could satisfy the requirement for the flexible OLED and LCD.

Alginate-chitosan (anion-cationic polymeric complex) was prepared to control the release rate of silver sulfadiazine (AgSD). Na-alginate (2%) solution containing AgSD was gelled in $CaCl_2$ solution. The gel beads formed were immediately encapsulated with chitosan (CS). The gel matrix and membrane were then reinforced with chondroitin-6-sulfate (Ch6S). Release rate of AgSD from the gel matrix was investigated by placing alginate beads in the sac of cellulose membrane simmered in HEPES-buffer solution. The concentration of AgSD released was analyzed by UV at 264 nm. Incorporation capacity of AgSD in Ca-alginate gel was more than 90%. Alginate-Ch6S-CS could control the release rate of AgSD. The amount of AgSD release was dependent on the AgSD loading dose. Incorporation of tripolyphosphate (polyanionic crosslinker) onto the alginate-Ch6S-CS bead increased the release rate of AgSD. Collagen-coating had no influence on the AgSD release rate. Alginate-Ch6S-CS beads with a sufficiently high AgSD encapsulation were capable of controlling the release of the drug over 10 days. In summary, alginate-Ch6S-CS beads could be used as a sustained delivery for AgSD and provide local targeting with low silver toxicity and patient discomfort.

본 연구에서는 저저항/고투과 플렉시블 투명 전극 개발을 위해 금속 그리드가 적용된 투명 전극을 개발하였다. Lift off 공정을 도입하여 플렉시블 PET 기판 위에 Ag grid를 성막하고 이후 연속 공정이 가능한 Roll-to-Roll sputtering system을 이용하여 최적화된 ITO(40nm)/Ag(12nm)/ITO(40nm) 다층 투명 전극을 성막하였다. 제작된 플렉시블 투명 전극의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성 및 기계적/전기적 안정성 평가를 위해 four-point probe measurement, Hall effect measurement, UV/Vis spectrometer, scanning electron microscopy 및 bending tester를 이용하여 각각의 특성을 분석하였다. Ag grid가 적용된 ITO/Ag/ITO 투명 전극에서 Ag의 배선 간격이 0.75 mm일 때 0.18 ohm/sq. 의 낮은 면 저항과 가시광선 영역에서 80% 이상의 높은 투과율을 나타내었으며, 이러한 저저항 및 고투과율 특성으로 인해 최적화된 배선 간격 0.75 mm에서 $538.11{\times}10^{-3}\;ohm^{-1}$의 매우 높은 figure of merit ($T^{10}/R_{sh}$) 값을 확보할 수 있었다. 기계적 응력에 따른 전기적 안정성 특성 분석 결과 5,000회 이상의 bending cycle 에서도 초기 저항 값과 유사한 전기적 특성을 나타냄으로써 Ag grid가 적용된 ITO/Ag/ITO 플렉시블 투명 전극의 기계적 응력에 따른 전기적 안정성을 확인할 수 있었다. Ag grid가 적용된 ITO/Ag/ITO 투명 전극의 투명 안테나 적용 가능성을 타진하기 위해 low band 및 high band 영역에서의 안테나 효율을 측정하였으며, 모든 영역에서 상용화된 copper 안테나와 유사한 효율을 나타내었다. Ag grid를 이용한 플렉시블 투명 전극의 저저항/고투과율 특성은 플렉시블 광전소자의 투명 안테나로의 적용 가능성을 나타낸다.

Ag doping effect on $Li[Ni_{0.2}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.6}]O_2$ cathode material was studied. Specially, we focused on rate performance of Ag doped samples. The $Li[Ni_{0.2}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.6}]O_2$ powder was prepared by simple combustion method and the Ag was doped using $AgNO_3$ during gelation process. Based on X-ray diffraction analysis, there was no structural change by Ag doping, but the 'metallic' form of Ag was included in the doped powder. Both bare and Ag 1 wt.% doped sample showed similar discharge capacity of 242 mAh/g at 0.2C rate. However, as the increase of charge-discharge rate to 3C, Ag 1 wt.% doped sample showed higher discharge capacity (172 mAh/g) and better cyclic performance than those of bare sample. The discharge capacity of Ag 5 wt.% doped sample was relatively low at all rate condition. However it displayed better rate performance than other samples.

본 연구에서는 고분해능 X선 회절법을 이용해 Ni/Ag 반사막 p형 오믹 전극의 Ag 집괴에 따른 전극의 구조 분석을 수행하였다. 대기 분위기에서 오믹 전극을 고온 열처리할 경우, 열처리 시간이 증가할수록 Ag의 집괴가 진행되어 24시간 열처리 후, 전류-전압 곡선은 쇼트키 특성을 나타내었고, 또한 460 nm 파장에서 21%의 낮은 반사도를 나타내었다. X선 회절 결과로부터 Ag의 집괴가 진행될수록, Ag 박막의 내부 변형율을 감소되는 방향으로 Ag 원자의 확산이 진행되어, Ag (111) 결정면의 면간 거리가 bulk Ag와 거의 동일하게 나타났다. 이러한 반사막 오믹 전극의 구조 분석은 고출력 고효율 수직형 LED에 적합한 열적 안정성이 우수한 오믹 전극의 개발에 매우 중요함을 알 수 있다.

저 Ag 함유 Sn-Ag-Cu계 무연솔더 조성, 즉, Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu 조성의 젖음 특성과 반응 특성을 Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu 및 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu 합금 조성의 결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 또한 Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu 조성의 용융 특성을 시차주사열량계(differential scanning calorimeter, DSC)로 측정하고, 인장시험을 통한 응력-변형률 곡선을 관찰하였다. 아울러 Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu 조성의 젖음 특성을 향상시키기 위해 halide의 함유량이 많은 플럭스(flux)를 적용하거나 Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu 조성에 0.2wt.%의 In을 첨가하여 그 젖음 특성의 개선 정도를 분석해 보았다. 그 결과 halide 함유량이 높은 플럭스를 사용한 경우보다 미량의 In을 첨가한 경우가 $230{\sim}240^{\circ}C$의 저온 영역에서 wettability의 향상에 보다 효과적임을 관찰할 수 있었다.

In this study, a transient liquid phase sintering (TLPS) process of Ag pastes mixed with a fusible metal alloy of Bi58Sn42 with the melting temperature of $138^{\circ}C$, was examined. After screen printing of the Ag pastes with and without Bi58Sn42 powders on polyimide (PI) substrates, the electrodes were heat-treated at different temperatures in the range between 150 and $300^{\circ}C$ for 60 min in air. Comparing the electrical conductivity of the Ag pastes with and without Bi58Sn42 alloy powder after the heat treatment, it was manifested that the low melting temperature alloy definitely played a major role in an increased conductivity when it is added into the Ag pastes by providing more electrical conduction paths between Ag particles. This can be explained by the fact that capillary force of the melts of Bi58Sn42 can contribute to the rearrangement of the Ag particles during the heat-treatment inducing better connectivity between the Ag particles.

Effect of alloying element additions to Ag on thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of sheath materials for Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O(BSCCO) tapes has been characterized. The thermal conductivity at low temperature range (10~300K) of Ag and Ag alloys were evaluated by both direct and indirect measurement techniqueas and compared with each other, It was observed that the thermal conductivity decreases with increasing the content of alloying element such as Au, Pd and Mg. Thermal conductivity of pure Ag at 3 0K was measured to be 994.0 W(m.K) on the other hand, the corresponding values of $Ag_{0.9995}Mg_{0.0005}$, $Ag_{0.974}$, $Au_{0.025}$, $Mg_{0.001}$, $Ab_{0.973}$, $Au_{0.025}$, $Mg_{0.002}$ and $Ag_{0.92}$, $Pb_{0.06}$, $Mg_{0.02}$ were 342.6, 62.1, 59.2 and 28.9 W(m.K), respectively, indicating 3 to 30 times lower than that of pure Ag. In addition, the thermal conductivity of pure Ag measured by direct and indirect measurement techniques was 303.2 and 363.8 W(m.K) The difference in this study is considered to be within an acceptable error range compared to the reference data.
