Atomic layer deposition(ALD)을 이용하여 $Al_2O_3$ 박막을 형성하고 이에 대한 패시베이션 특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. ALD로 증착된 $Al_2O_3$ 박막은 $400^{\circ}C$ 5분간 후속 열처리 공정 후에도 $Al_2O_3$ - 실리콘 계면 반응 없이 비정질 상태를 유지할 만큼 구조적으로 안정한 특성을 나타내었다. 후속 열처리 후 $Al_2O_3$ 박막의 패시베이션 특성이 향상되었으며, 이는 field effective 패시베이션과 화학적 패시베이션 효과가 동시에 상승에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. $Al_2O_3$ 박막의 음고정 전하를 정량적으로 평가하기 위해서 후속 열처리 공정을 거친 $Al_2O_3$ 박막을 이용하여 metal-oxide-semiconductor(MOS) 소자를 제작하고 capacitance-voltage(C-V) 분석을 수행하였다. C-V 결과로부터 추출된 flatband voltage($V_{FB}$)와 equivalent oxide thickness(EOT)의 관계식을 통하여 $Al_2O_3$ 박막의 고정음전하는 $2.5{\times}10^{12}cm^{-2}$로 계산되었으며, 이는 본 연구에서 제시된 $Al_2O_3$ 박막 공정이 N-type 실리콘 태양전지의 패시베이션 공정에 응용 가능하다는 것을 의미한다.

In this study (B $a_{0.5}$/S $r_{0.5}$)Ti $O_3$[BST(50/50)] ceramic thin films were prepared by the Sol-Gel method BST(50/50) stock solution was made and spin-coated on the Indium Tin Oxide(ITO)/glass substrate at 4000 rpm for 30 seconds. The coated films were dried at 35$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes and annealed at 650~75$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The microstructural properties of the BST(50/50) thin film were studied by the XRD and AFM. The ferroelectric perovskite phase was formed at the annealing condition of 75$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. Dielectric constant and loss of this thin were 370, 3.7% at room temperature respectively. The polarization switching voltage showed the good value of 3V. The leakage current density of the BST(50/50) thin film was 10$^{-7A}$c $m^2$with applied voltage of 1.5V. BST(50/50) thin film capacitors having good dielectric and electrical properties are expecting for the application to the dielectric material of DRAM.RAM.M.

We investigated the optical and electrical characteristics of ITO/Ag/ITO (IAI) 3-layer thin films prepared by using RF/DC sputtering. To measure the thickness of all thin film samples, we used scanning electron microscopy. As a function of Ag thickness we characterized the optical transmittance and sheet resistance of the IAI samples by using UV-Visible spectroscopy and Hall measurement system, respectively. While the thickness of both ITO thin films in the 3-layered IAI samples were fixed at 50 nm, we varied Ag layer thickness in the range of 0 nm to 11 nm. The optical transmittance and sheet resistance of the 3-layered IAI thin films were found to vary strongly with the thickness of Ag film in the ITO (50 nm)/Ag(t₀)/ITO (50 nm) thin film. For the best transparent conducting oxide (TCO) electrode, we obtained a 3-layered ITO (50 nm)/Ag (t₀ = 8.5 nm)/ITO (50 nm) that showed an avrage optical transmittance, AVT = 90.12% in the visible light region of 380 nm to 780 nm and the sheet resistance, R_□ = 7.24 Ω/□.

It has increased several decades in the field of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) transparent thin film, However, a major problem with this ITO thin film application is high cost compared with other transparent thin film materials[1]. So far, in order to overcome this disadvantage, we show that a transparent ITO/Ag/i-ZnO multilayer thin film electrode would be more cost-effective and it has not only highly transparent but also conductive properties. The aim of this research has therefore been to try and establish how ITO/Ag/i-ZnO multilayer thin film would be more effective than ITO thin film. Herein, we report the properties of ITO/Ag/i-ZnO multilayer thin film by using optical spectroscopic method and measuring sheet resistance. At a certain total thickness of thin film, sheet resistance of ITO/Ag/i-ZnO multilayer was drastically decreased than ITO layer approximately $40{\Omega}/{\Box}$ at same visible light transmittance. (minimal point $5.2{\Omega}/{\Box}$). Tendency, which shows lowly sheet resistive in a certain transmittance, has been observed, hence, it should be suitable for transparent electrode device.

AZO(Aluminium-doped Zinc Oxide)는 기존의 LCD, OLED, 광센서, 유기태양전지 등의 투명전극에 널리 사용되는 ITO(Indium Tin Oxide)를 대체하기 위한 물질로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유기태양전지의 투명 전극으로 많이 사용되는 ITO 를 대체하기 위해 원자층 증착(ALD) 공정의 저온 선택적 증착 특성을 이용하여 유연성 폴리머인 PEN 기판상에 AZO 투명전극을 직접 패턴방식으로 제조하고, 그 투명전극의 구조적, 전기적, 광학적 특성을 평가하였다. 전기적, 광학적 특성 결과들로부터 원자층 증작공정의 저온 선택적 증착 특성을 통해 형성된 AZO 투명전극의 유기태양전지로의 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

$Al_2O_3$ thin films were grown on H-terminated Si(001) substrates using dimethylaluminum isopropoxide [DMAl: $(CH_3)_2AlOCH(CH_3)_2$], as a new Al precursor, and water by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The selflimiting ALD process by alternate surface reactions of DMAI and $H_2O$ was confirmed from measured thicknesses of the aluminum oxide films as functions of the DMAI pulse time and the number of DMAI-$H_2O$ cycles. Under optimal reaction conditions, a growth rate of ~1.06 ${\AA}$ per ALD cycle was achieved at the substrate temperature of $150\;^{\circ}C$. From a mass spectrometric study of the DMAI-$D_2O$ ALD process, it was determined that the overall binary reaction for the deposition of $Al_2O_3\;[2\;(CH_3)_2AlOCH(CH_3)_2\;+\;3\;H_2O\;{\rightarrow}\;Al_2O_3\;+\;4\;CH_4\;+\;2\;HOCH(CH_3)_2]$can be separated into the following two half-reactions: where the asterisks designate the surface species. Growth of stoichiometric $Al_2O_3$ thin films with carbon incorporation less than 1.5 atomic % was confirmed by depth profiling Auger electron spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy images show atomically flat and uniform surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cross-sectional high resolution transmission electron microscopy of an $Al_2O_3$ film indicate that there is no distinguishable interfacial Si oxide layer except that a very thin layer of aluminum silicate may have been formed between the $Al_2O_3$ film and the Si substrate. C-V measurements of an $Al_2O_3$ film showed capacitance values comparable to previously reported values.

전착법(EPD)에 의한 음극지지형 SOFC 단전지용 전해질 제조를 위하여 NiO-YSZ 다공성 기판 위에 극성이 서로 다른 전착용액을 사용하여 안정화 지르코니아 균일막 형성을 위한 전착조건과 막특성을 조사하였다. 알콜계 용액과는 달리 수계 용액에서 정전류, 0.138mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$이상에서 전극반응으로 생성한 기포에 의한 막결함이 생성하였으며 막무게 증가율이 감소하였다. 균일막 형성은 알콜계 용액에서 전극반응없이 안정한 전압특성을 보이는 정전류 0.035 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$를 10초간 인가하였을 때 얻어졌다.

In this paper, we investigated the effect of various annealing processes on the electrical characteristics of oxide thin film transistors (TFTs). When we annealed the TFT devices before and after source/drain (S/D) process, we could observe the different electrical characteristics of oxide TFTs. When we annealed the TFTs after deposition of transparent indium zinc oxide S/D electrodes, the annealing process decreased the contact resistance but increased the resistivity of S/D electrodes. The field effect mobility, subthreshold slope and threshold voltage of the oxide TFTs annealed before and after S/D process were 5.83 and 4.47 $cm^2$/Vs, 1.20 and 0.82 V/dec, and 3.92 and 8.33 V respectively. To analyze the differences, we measured the contact resistances and the carrier concentrations using transfer length method (TLM) and Hall measurement.

C-axis oriented zinc oxide thin films were deposited on glass substrate by reactive Facing Targets Sputtering (FTS) system. The characteristics of zinc oxide thin films on power, inter targets distance, and substrate temperature were investigated by XRD(x-ray diffractometer), alphastep (Tencor) analyses. The Facing Targets Sputtering system can deposit thin film in plasma-free situation and change the deposition condition in wide range. The excellently c-axis oriented zinc oxide thin films were obtained at sputter pressure 1mTorr, sputtering current 0.4A, substrate temperature $300^{\circ}C$, inter targets distance 100mm. In the conditions, the rocking curve of zinc oxide thin films deposited on ZnO/Glass was $3.9^{\circ}$.
