  • Ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene ($VF_2$-TrFE) copolymer films were directly deposited on degenerated Si ($n^+$, 0.002 $\Omega{\cdot}cm$) using by dip coating method. A 1 ~ 3 wt% diluted solution of purified vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene ($VF_2$:TrFE=70:30) in a dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent were prepared and deposited on silicon wafers using dip coating method for 10 seconds. After Post-Annealing in a vacuum ambient at 100~200 $^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, upper aluminum electrodes were deposited by thermal evaporation through the shadow mask to complete the MFS structure. The ferroelectric $\beta$-phase peak of films, depending on the annealing temperature, started to show up around $125^{\circ}C$, and the intensity of the peak increased with increasing annealing temperature. Above $175^{\circ}C$, the peak started to decrease. The C-V characteristics were measured using a Precision LCR meter (HP 4284A) with frequency of 1MHz and a signal amplitude of 20 mV. The leakage-current versus electric-field characteristics was measured by mean of a pA meter/DC voltage source (HP 4140B).

  • Application of organic materials with low cost, easy fabrication and advantages of flexible device are increasing attention by research work. Recently, one of them, organic solar cells were rapidly increased efficiency with regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyricacidmethylester (PCBM) used typical material. To increased efficiency of organic solar cell has tried control of domain of PCBM and crystallite of P3HT by thermal annealing and solvent vapor annealing. [4-6] In those annealing effects, be made inefficiently efficiency, which is increased fill factor (FF), and current density by phase-separated morphology with blended P3HT and PCBM. In addition, increased conductivity by modified hole transfer layer (HTL) such as Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), increased both optical and conducting effect by titanium oxide (TiOx), and changed cathode material for control work function were increased efficiency of Organic solar cell. In this study, we had described effect of organic photovoltaics by conductivity of interlayer such as PEDOT:PSS and TCO (Transparent conducting oxide) such as ITO, which is used P3HT and PCBM. And, we have measured with exactly defined shadow mask to study effect of solar cell efficiency according to conductivity of hole transfer layer.

  • Simple and useful synthetic process to control the morphology of block copolymers (BCPs) is required for implementation in various device applications. However, the conventional method to use colloidal templates is not enough to realize the production of pure and massive core-shell nanoparticles due to the cost-intensive complex process. Here, we introduce a novel and facile synthesis method to realize the formation of core-shell $SiO_x$ nanoparticle power by employing an immersion annealing of a sphere-forming poly(styrene-b-dimethylsiloxane) (PS-b-PDMS) BCP. We successfully obtained a PS-encapsulated $SiO_x$ nanoparticle with a diameter of ~20 nm. In addition, we analyzed how the mixing ratio of heptane/ethanol affects the BCP morphology of self-assembled PS-b-PDMS nanoparticles, showing a worm-like structure under the optimum immersion conditions. This useful approach is expected to be extendable to other solvent-based BCP synthesis, providing a new guideline for unique BCP production.

  • 최근에 금속산화물을 증착하는 방법으로 용액공정이 주목 받고 있다. 용액 공정은 대기압에서 매우 간단한 방법으로 복잡한 공정과정을 요구하지 않기 때문에 박막을 경제적으로 간단하게 형성할 수 있다. 하지만 용액공정을 통해 형성한 박막에는 소자의 특성을 열화 시키는 solvent와 탄소계열의 불순물을 많이 포함하고 있어 고온의 열처리가 필수적이다. 박막의 품질을 향상시키기 위해서 다양한 열처리 방법들이 이용되고 있으며, 일반적인 열처리 방법으로는 furnace를 이용한 conventional thermal annealing (CTA)이 많이 이용되고 있다. 하지만, 최근에는 microwave를 이용한 공정이 주목 받고 있다. Microwave energy는 CTA보다 효과적으로 비교적 낮은 온도에서 높은 열처리 효과를 나타낸다. 본 실험은 n-type Silicon 기판에 solution-ZrO2 산화막을 형성 후, oven baking을 한 뒤, CTA와 microwave를 이용하여 solvent와 불순물을 제거 하였다. 전기적 특성을 확인하기 위해 solution ZrO2 산화막 위에 E-beam evaporator를 이용해 Ti 금속 전극을 증착하여 Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) capacitor를 제작하였다. 다음으로, PRECISION SEMICONDUCTOR PARAMETER ANALYZER (4156B)를 이용하여, capacitance-voltage (C-V) 특성 및 current-voltage (I-V) 특성을 비교하였다. 다음으로, CTA를 통하여 제작한 소자와 전기적 특성을 비교하였다. 그 결과, Microwave irradiation으로 열처리한 MOS capacitor 소자에서 capacitance 값과 flat band voltage, hysteresis 등이 개선되는 효과를 확인하였다. Microwave irradiation 열처리는 100oC 미만의 온도에서 공정이 이루어짐에도 불구하고 시료 내에서의 microwave 에너지의 흡수가 CTA 공정에서의 열에너지 흡수보다 훨씬 효율적으로 이루어지며, 결과적으로 ZrO2 용액의 불순물과 solvent를 낮은 온도에서 제거하여 고품질 박막 형성에 매우 효과적이라는 것을 나타낸다. 따라서, microwave irradiation 열처리 방법은 비정질 산화막이 포함되는 박막 transistor 소자 제작에 대하여 결정적인 열처리 방법이 될 것으로 기대한다.

  • Polymer solar cells are fabricated using electrospray (e-spray) deposition process. It shows comparable performance with reference devices, and has different characteristics according to the thickness of the active layer: In the case of the devices with higher fill factor, it shows relatively lower current density, and vice versa. These films are characterized by atomic force microscopy measurement. The results indicate that the comparable power conversion efficiency made by e-spray results from the 'solvent annealing effect' by process conditions and the different thin film property is caused by the degree of self-organization of the polymer.

  • Preparation of asymmetric polyimide membranes by the phase inversion process was investigated to develop ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and pervaporation membranes for organic solutions, using a commercially available solvent-soluble polymaide. The influences of the various factors such as the composition of a cast solution, casting conditions, gelating solutions and others on membrane structure and performance were studied in detail, and it was made clear that a wide variety of asymmetric polyimide membranes ranging from UF to RO for organic solutions could be prepared from the aromatic polyimide used. It was also found that the chemical stability and separation performance of the asymmetric polyimide membranes could be improved by annealing in a liquid or a vacuum at above 200$\circ$. The membrane annealed at 300$\circ$ in a vacuum exhibited the separation factor $\alpha(H_2O/EtOH)$ of 900 with the flux of 1.0 kg/$m^2\cdot h$ at 60$\circ$C for an aqueous ethanol solution of 95 vol%.

  • Time-Of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) are the useful instruments to measure nanostructures of material surfaces. Surface pattern formation in blending homopolymer and diblock copolymer films was investigated as a function of film thickness and annealing conditions. In this study, surface structures of blending homopolymer [deuterated polystyrene (Mn 20,000), poly (methyl methacrylate) (Mn 18,000)] and diblock copolymer [Poly (deuteratedstyrene(d8)-b-methyl methacrylate) (Mn 19,500-18,100)] films were observed. The AFM result indicated that the nanostructures and film thickness depended on temperature, concentration and solvent. TOF-SIMS depth profiling was obtained for the lamellar morphology of symmetric dPS-b-PMMA which is found to orient parallel to the surface of the substrate. Elemental and molecular depth profiles measured in the negative ion mode by a Cs+ primary ion beam demonstrate variations in hydrogen, deuterium, carbon, oxygen, hydrocarbons and deuterated hydrocarbons within the diblock copolymer according to the depth.

  • We demonstrate two very simple and fast routes to fabricating ordered micro/nanopatterns of polymers over large areas on various substrates using controlled dewetting. The first method is based on utilizing microimprinting to induce the local thickness variation of an initially inverted bilayer which allows the controlled dewetting and partial layer inversion upon subsequent thermal annealing. In the second method, the self assembly of block copolymer was controlled on a chemically micropatterned surface produced by microcontact printing, being combined with its solvent vapor treatment. The kinetically driven, non-lithographical nanopattern structures were easily fabricated over large area by these approaches.
