본 연구에서는 $Cl_2$/Ar 기반의 플라즈마 식각에 $N_2$가스를 첨가하여 ZnO 박막을 식각 하였을 때 관찰된 ZnO 박막의 식각 특성에 관하여 연구 하였다. ZnO 박막 식각 실험은 RF 800 W, bias power 400 W, 공정 압력 15 mTorr를 기준으로 하였으며 가스 혼합 비율로는 최적의 식각률을 보여주는 $Cl_2$/Ar=8:2 비율에서 실행하였다. 연구의 목적인 첨가 가스 $N_2$를 $Cl_2$ (80%)/Ar (20)%에 5 sccm 씩 첨가하여 20 sccm 까지 증가 시켜 실험 하였다. $N_2$ 가스가 15 sccm 첨가되었을 때 식각률 95.9 nm/min로 기존 $Cl_2$/Ar 기반의 플라즈마 식각보다 높은 식각률을 보여 주었으며 $N_2$ 가스 흐름 조절 외에도 공정 압력, RF power, bias power를 변경하며 실험하였다. 식각된 ZnO 박막의 표면은 최대 식각률을 보이는 공정 조건을 찾기 위해 surface profiler ($\alpha$-step)을 이용하여 식각률을 측정하였으며 ZnO 박막 표면의 화학적인 변화를 조사하기 위해 x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)를 사용하였다. XPS 분석 결과 Zn $2p_{3/2}$ peak 가낮은 binding energy 쪽으로 이동한 것을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 또한 O 1s 의 스펙트럼을 분석한 결과 N-O bond와 O-H bond가 존재함이 밝혀졌다.

I-D ZnO nanostructures were fabricated by thermal evaporation method on Si(100), GaN and $Al_2O_3$ substrates without a catalyst at the reaction temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. Only pure Zn powder was used as a source material and Ar was used as a carrier gas. The shape and growth direction of synthesized ZnO nanostructures is determined by the crystal structure and the lattice mismatch between ZnO and substrates. The ZnO nanostructure on Si substrate were inclined regardless of their substrate orientation. The origin of ZnO/Si interface is highly lattice-mismatched and the surface of the Si substrate inevitably has the $SiO_2$ layer. The ZnO nanostructure on the $Al_2O_3$ substrate was synthesized into the rod shape and grown into particular direction. For the GaN substrate, however, ZnO nanostructure with the honeycomb-like shape was vertically grown, owing to the similar lattice parameter with GaN substrate.

We report the preparation of N doped, p-type ZnO films by post-annealing in $NH_3$ ambient. The properties were examined by XRD, Hall-effect measurement, PL, and SIMS. ZnO films showed better crystallinity and electron concentration of $10^{15}-10^{17}/cm^3$ with post-annealing in $NH_3$ ambient. These films were converted to p-type ZnO by activation thermal annealing process at $800^{\circ}C$ under $N_2$ ambient. The electrical properties of the p-type ZnO showed a hole concentration of $1.06\times10^{16}/cm^3$, a mobility of $15.8cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, and a resistivity of $40.18\Omega{\cdot}cm$. The N doped ZnO films showed a strong photoluminescence peak at 3.306 eV at 13 K, which is closely related to neutral acceptor bound excitons of the p-type ZnO:N. In the SIMS spectra, the incorporation of nitrogen was confirmed.

A new Zn/O single source precursor, TMEDA-Zn$(eacac)_2$, has been synthesized by using N, N, N’, N’-tetramethylethylendiamine (TMEDA), sodium ethyl-acetoacetate, and $ZnCl_2$. From this organometallic precursor, ZnO thin films have been successfully grown on Si (100) substrates through the metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method at relatively mild conditions in the temperature range of 390~430 ${^{\circ}C}$. The synthesized ZnO films have been found to possess average grain sizes of about 70 nm with an orientation along the c-axis. The precursor and ZnO films are characterized through infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, EI-FAB-spectroscopy, elemental analyses, thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and field emission scanning electron microscopic analyses.

Al-doped p-type ZnO films were fabricated on n-Si (100) and homo-buffer layers in pure oxygen at $450^{\circ}C$ by RF magnetron sputtering. Target was ZnO ceramic mixed with 2wt% $Al_2O_3$. XRD spectra show that the Al-doped ZnO thin films have ZnO crystal structure and homo-buffer layers are beneficial to Al-doped ZnO films to grow along c-axis. Hall Effect experiments with Van der Pauw configuration show that p-type carrier concentrations are ranged from $1.66{\times}10^{16}\;to\;4.04{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$, mobilities from 0.194 to $2.3cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and resistivities from 7.97 to $18.4{\Omega}cm$. P-type sample has density of $5.40cm^{-3}$ which is smaller than theoretically calculated value of $5.67cm^{-3}$. XPS spectra show that O1s has O-O and Zn-O structures and A12p has only Al-O structure. P-ZnO:Al/n-ZnO:Al junctions were fabricated by magnetron sputtering. V-I curves show that the p-n junctions have rectifying characteristics.

ZnO films were fabricated using rf-magnetron sputter deposition process with different $N_2$ ambient. N-content in N-doped ZnO films was less than 1%. The wavelength of the highest intensity PL peak of N-doped ZnO was shifted to higher wavelength with increasing $N_2$ flow rate in the deposition ambient. These results indicated that the optical property of ZnO was significantly affected by the defect level created by doping with a very small amount of N.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO)는 wurtzite 결정구조를 가지고 있으며, 밴드갭 에너지가 약 3.4eV인 산화물 반도체 이다. GaN가 도핑된 ZnO 박막을 Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) 법을 이용하여 사파이어 기판과 실리콘 기판에 각각 증착하였다. $500^{\circ}C$의 증착온도에서 1at%~10at%까지의 GaN 도핑농도에 따른 ZnO 박막의 결정성, 성분 분석을 비롯한 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 첨가된 GaN의 농도에 따라 ZnO 박막의 결정성이 변화하였으며, 농도 변화에 상관없이 ZnO(002) 방향으로 성장함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 실리콘 기판에 증착한 GaN-doped ZnO 박막은 5at%에서 $9.3\;{\times}\;10-3{\Omega}cm$, 10at%에서 $9.2\;{\times}\;10-3{\Omega}cm$의 비저항 값을 가지며 각각 p-type 특성을 나타내었다.

ZnO/n-Si junctions were fabricated by spin coating with ZnO precursor produced by the sol-gel process. In order to increase the electrical conductivity of ZnO films, the films were n-doped with Al impurity and subsequently annealed at about $450^{\circ}C$ under reducing environments. The ohmic contacts between n-Si and AI for a bottom electrode were successfully fabricated by doping the rear surface of Si substrate with phosphorous atoms. The front surface of the substrate was also doped with phosphorous atoms for improving the efficiency of the solar cells. Consequently, conversion efficiencies ranging up to about 5.3% were obtained. These efficiencies were found to decrease slowly with time because of the oxide films formed at the ZnO/Si interface upon oxygen penetration through the porous ZnO. Oxygen barrier layers could be necessary in order to prevent the reduction of conversion efficiencies.

The realization and origin of p-type ZnO are main issue for photoelectronic devices based on ZnO material. N-doped and nominally undoped p-type ZnO films were achieved on silicon (100) and homo-buffer layers by RF magnetron sputtering and post in-situ annealing. The undoped film shows high hole mobility of 1201 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and low resistivity of $0.0454\Omega{\cdot}cm$ with hole concentration of $1.145\times10^{17}cm^{-3}$. The photoluminescence(PL) spectra show the emissions related to FE, DAP and defects of $V_{Zn}$, $V_O$, $Zn_O$, $O_i$ and $O_{Zn}$.
