  • Because both $TiO_2$ and ZnO has superior characteristic optically and electrically, there are various of research for these materials. However, they have large band gap energy which correspond with not visible light, but UV light. To make up for this disadvantage, Quantum dots (CdS, CdSe) which can absorb the visible light could be deposited on $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanostructure so that the the photoelectrochecmical cell can absorb the light that has larger region of wavelength. Both $TiO_2$ and ZnO can be grown to one-dimensional nanowire structure at low temperature through solutional method. Three-dimensional hierarcical $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanostructure is fabricated by applying these process. Large surface area of this structure make the light absorbed more efficiently. Through type 2 like-cascade energy band structure of nanostructure, the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs is expected. Photoelectrochemical charateristics are found by using these nanostructure to photoelectrode.

  • Amorphous fluorocarbon (a-C:F) is of interest for low dielectric interlayer material, but in this work we applied this material to FED field emitter. N-doped a-C:F films were deposited by inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICPCVD). The Raman spectra were measured to study the film structure and inter-band optical absorption coefficients were measured using Perkin-Elmer UV-VIS-IR spectrophotometer and optical band gap was obtained using Tauc's plot. XPS spectrum and AFM image were investigated to study bond structure and surface morphology. Current-electric field(I-E) characteristic of the film was measured for the characterization of electron emission properties. The optimum doping concentration was found to be [N2]/[CF4]=9% in the gas phase. The turn-on field and the emission current density at $[N_2]/[CF_4]$=9% were found to be 7.34V/$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 16 $\mu\textrm{A}/\textrm{cm}^2$ at 12.8V/$\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively.

  • Graphene is a perfectly two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystal which consists of sp2 bonded carbon atoms like a honeycomb lattice. With its unique structure, graphene provides outstanding electrical, mechanical, and optical properties, thus enabling wide variety of applications including a strong potential to extend the technology beyond the conventional Si based electronic materials. Currently, the widespread application for electrostatically switchable devices is limited by its characteristic of zero-energy gap and complex process in its synthesis. Several groups have investigated nanoribbon, strained, or nanomeshed graphenes to induce a band gap. Among various techniques to synthesize graphene, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is suited to make relatively large scale growth of graphene layers. Direct growth of graphene on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) using CVD has gained much attention as the atomically smooth surface, relatively small lattice mismatch (~1.7%) of h-BN provides good quality graphene with high mobility. In addition, induced band gap of graphene on h-BN has been demonstrated to a meaningful value about ~0.5 eV.[1] In this paper, we report the synthesis of grpahene / h-BN bilayer in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process by controlling the gas flux ratio and deposition rate with temperature. The h-BN (99.99%) substrate, pure Ar as carrier gas, and $CH_4$ are used to grow graphene. The number of graphene layer grown on the h-BN tends to be proportional to growth time and $CH_4$ gas flow rate. Epitaxially grown graphene on h-BN are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy.

  • The Isolation of few-layered transition metal dichalcogenides has mainly been performed by mechanical and chemical exfoliation with very low yields. in particular, the two-dimensional layer of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has recently attracted much interest due to its direct-gap property and potential application in optoelectronics and energy harvesting. However, the synthetic approach to obtain high-quality and large-area MoS2 atomic thin layers is still rare. In this account, a controlled thermal reduction-sulfurization method is used to synthesize large-MoOx thin films are first deposited on Si/SiO2 substrates, which are then sulfurized (under vacuum) at high temperatures. Samples with different thicknesses have been analyzed by Raman spectroscopy and TEM, and their photoluminescence properties have been evaluated. We demonstrated the presence of mono-, bi-, and few-layered MoS2 on as-grown samples. It is well known that the electronic structure of these materials is very sensitive to the number of layer, ranging from indirect band gap semiconductor in the bulk phase to direct band gap semiconductor in monolayers. This synthetic approach is simple, scalable, and applicable to other transition metal dichalcogenides. Meanwhile, the obtained MoS2 films are transferable to arbitrary substrates, providing great opportunities to make layered composites by stacking various atomically thin layers.

  • Concern for the TOS (Transparent Oxide Semiconductor) is increasing with the recent increase in interest for flexible device. Especially MgZnO has attracted a lot of attention. $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$, which ZnO-based wideband-gap alloys is tuneable the band-gap ranges from 3.36 eV to 7.8 eV. In particular, the flexible substrate, the crystal structure of the amorphous as well as the surface morphology is not good. So research of MgZnO thin films growth on flexible substrate is essential. Therefore, in this study, we studied on the effects of the oxygen partial pressure on the structural and crystalline of $Mg_{0.1}Zn_{0.9}O$ thin films. MgZnO thin films were deposited on PES substrate by using pulsed laser deposition. We used XRD and AFM in order to observe the structural characteristics of MgZnO thin films. UV-visible spectrophotometer was used to get the band gap and transmittance. Crystallization was done at a low oxygen partial pressure. The crystallinity of MgZnO thin films with increasing temperature was improved, Grain size and RMS of the films were increased. MgZnO thin films showed high transmittance over 80% in the visible region.

  • In this study it had an excellent optical characteristic, it followed in the creation rate and the refractive index regulation to the ease. Chalcogenide produced the $As_{45}Se_{45}Te_{10}$ thin film and the $MgF_{2}$ thin film. It measured thin film plan simulation, and the thin film has a 1 -dimensional photonic band gap. The chalcogenide $As_{45}Se_{45}Te_{10}$ thin film was measured with the fact that it has a high refractive index (2.6~2.9). The $As_{45}Se_{45}Te_{10}$ and $MgF_{2}$ thin film, have a high refractive index and a low refractive index, it used a simulation and planed period 5-pairs structure, the result was from 500nm to 800nm. It will be able to confirm the characteristic which most of the incidence light reflects, the He-Ne (632.8nm) laser was irradiated in the thin film which stabilized the thin film. $As_{45}Se_{45}Te_{10}$ (high refractive index layer: H) and $MgF_{2}$ (low refractive index layer: L) results which plans the thin film with glass/LHLHLLHLHL/air structure, 632.8nm against transmitance, increased a lot. An application possibility with the filter against a specific wave length was confirmed.

  • 저온 박막 공정을 위해 비등점이 낮은 용매인 isopropanol을 사용하였고, 용질로 zinc acetate의 몰 농도를 0.3∼1.3 mol/l까지 변화시켜 sol을 합성하였다. Zn 농도 변화에 따른 ZnO 박막의 구조 및 광학, 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. XRD 측정에서 Zn의 농도가 0.7 mol/l 일 때 c-축으로 결정 배향성이 뚜렷하였다. SEM으로 박막의 표면 morphology를 관찰한 결과 0.7 mol/l 에서 균일한 표면층을 갖는 나노구조를 이루고 있었다. UV-vis. 측정을 통한 ZnO 박막의 광투과도는 Zn의 농도가 0.7 mol/l 이하에서 87%였으나, 1.0 mol/l 이상의 농도에서는 급격히 감소하였다. 이때 광 밴드갭 에너지는 3.07∼3.22 eV의 값을 나타내며, 벌크 ZnO의 특성과 유사하였다. 박막의 전기 비저항 값은 150 $\Omega$-cm로 Zn의 농도변화에 따라 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으며, I-V 특성분석에서 전형적인 ohmic contact 특성을 보였다.

  • $Cu_2O$는 초저가 태양전지의 흡수층으로 적용될 수 있는 물질 중 하나로 direct band gap($E_g={\sim}2.1eV$)을 갖고 있으며 최대 650 nm 파장의 빛을 흡수 할 수 있는 높은 흡수율을 가지고 있다. 또한 무독성, 풍부한 매장량으로 낮은 비용 등의 여러 장점을 가지며 간단하고 저렴한 방법으로 대량으로 제작이 가능하다. 본 연구에서 Au가 증착된 $SiO_2/Si$ 기판 위에 전착법을 통해 $Cu_2O$ 박막을 제작하였다. 우리는 용액의 pH와 작업전극에 인가되는 전위, 용액의 온도와 같은 공정조건을 바꾸어주었고 최종적으로 XRD와 SEM 사진 분석을 통해 박막의 특성을 확인하였다.

  • 황화납(PbS)을 감응물질로 하는 양자점 감응형 태양전지를 제작하고 효율을 측정해 보았다. 기판에 산화아연(ZnO) 나노선을 기른 후 SILAR(Successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction)법으로 PbS 양자점을 합성하고 이를 주사전자현미경(SEM), X-선 회절(XRD)을 통해 확인하였다. SILAR를 통해서 형성된 나노이종구조는 PbS 나노입자들이 ZnO 나노선 위에 균일하게 성장한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 실험에서 PbS을 이용한 양자점 감응형 태양전지의 최고 효율은 one sun에서 0.075%로 나타났으며, 이는 기존의 다른 감응 물질에 비해 비교적 낮은 효율을 나타내었다. 이러한 요인으로는 i) ZnO와 PbS의 밴드갭 배열이 Type-I 형을 이룰 수 있는 가능성, ii) 다양한 크기의 밴드갭을 가지는 PbS에 의한 전자이동 방해 효과, iii) 전해질에 의한 PbS의 안정성 저하 등의 이유를 생각해 볼 수 있으며, 이를 해결하기 위해서는 PbS의 크기분포 조절과 새로운 전해질에 대한 연구가 향후 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
