  • In this study, the Ag nano-dots structure and silicon nitride film were applied to the textured wafer surface to improve the light trapping effect of mono-crystalline silicon solar cell. Ag nano-dots structure was formed by performing a heat treatment for 30 minutes at 650℃ after the deposition of 10nm Ag thin film. Ag thin film deposition was performed using a thermal evaporator. The silicon nitride film was deposited by a Hot-wire chemical vapor deposition. The effect of light trapping was compared and analyzed through light reflectance measurements. Experimental results showed that the reflectivity increased by 0.5 ~ 1% under all nitride thickness conditions when Ag nano-dots structure was formed before nitride film deposition. In addition, when the Ag nano-dots structure is formed after deposition of the silicon nitride film, the reflectance is increased in the nitride film condition of 70 nm or more. When the HF treatment was performed for 60 seconds to improve the Ag nano-dot structure, the overall reflectance was improved, and the reflectance was 0.15% lower than that of the silicon nitride film-only sample at 90 nm silicon nitride film condition.

  • SrTiO₃ (STO) thin fims were deposited on the biaxially textured Ni-3 wt%W alloy substrates to be used as a single buffer layer for YBa₂CU₃O/sub 7-8/(YBCO) coated conductor. Thin films of YBCO and STO were deposited using pulsed laser. The deposition condition for epitaxial growth of STO on the textured metal was identified, and YBCO coated conductor with a single STO buffer layer with critical current density of 1.2 MA㎠ at 77 K under zero magnetic field and critical temperature of 86 K, was fabricated.

  • Recently, the manufacturing of micro-cavity by means of laser surface texturing (LST) technique and low friction study by the LST have been in great progress. Most of current works have been dealing with the effect of cavity on friction and wear. The main objective of the present study was to investigate numerically two-dimensional lubrication characteristics of micro-dimple shapes fabricated on solid surfaces, and this study utilized the commercial CFD code (Fluent V.6.3). For the evaluation, preliminary simulation was conducted and numerical predictions were compared with the analytic solution obtained from the Reynolds's equation. Mainly, the present study investigated the influence of dimple depth, pattern shapes, and film thickness on lubrication characteristics related to the reduction of friction. It is found that the existence of micro-dimpled surface makes it possible to substantially reduce the friction forces exerted on the surfaces. In particular, substantial decrease in shear stresses was observed as the lubricant film thickness decreases. For instance, in the case of the film thickness of 0.01 mm, the estimated shear stress decreases up to about 40%. It indicates that the film thickness would be important factor in designing the micro-dimpled surfaces. Furthermore, it was observed that such a optimum dimple depth would be present because the dimple depth larger than the optimum value did no longer affect the reduction in shear stresses.

  • A study on the deposition and characterization of BaTiO3 thin films on MgO-buffered Si(100) substrates by sputtering was conducted. The MgO buffer layers were investigated as a function of deposition temperature. At lower substrate temperature, the MgO layers were not fully crystalline, but a crystallized MgO layer with (001) preferred orientation was obtained at the substrate temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. Partially (00ι) or (h00) textured BaTiO3 films were obtained on Si(100) with the MgO buffer layer grown at 700ι. While, randomly oriented BaTiO3 films with large-scale cracks on the surface were made without the MgO layer. The crystallographic orientation, morphology and electrical properties between the BaTiO3 films on Si with and without the MgO layer were compared using the BaTiO3 film on MgO(100) single crystal substrate as a reference system. Also the favorable role of the MgO layer as a buffer for growing of oriented BaTiO3 films on Si substrates was confirmed.

  • Phase evolution and tribological behavior of Cr-Mo-N multi compositional films with different interlayer were investigated. The films were deposited by hybrid PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) system consisted of dc unbalanced magnetron (UBM) sputtering and arc ion plating (AIP) sources. A pure molybdenum (Mo) was used as sputtering target and also a pure Cr was used as AIP target to form the Cr-Mo-N films. Various growth planes were found, no textured surface, in all of the multi composition films. Maximum value of microhardness was measured in Cr-Mo-N film with Mo interlayer as 29 GPa. Composition film was mainly showed the aspect of the adhesive wear than CrN film. The friction coefficient was decreased from 0.6 for pure CrN coating to 0.35 for Cr-Mo-N film with Mo interlayer. This result may come from the formation of metal oxide tribo-layer which is known as solid lubricant during the wear test.

  • [$YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$] thin films were deposited on various buffered-templates by a metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD). Three different templates of $CeO_2/YSZ/CeO_2/pure-Ni(CYC),\;CeO_2/YSZ/Y_2O_3/Ni-3at.%W(YYC)$ and $CeO_2/IBAD-YSZ$/stainless steel were used. The Ni and Ni-W alloy tapes were biaxially textured by cold rolling and annealing heat treatment. The dense YBCO films were grown on both the IBAD and YYC templates with no microcrack, while the YBCO films on the CYC templates were grown with the formation of microcracks and NiO. The YBCO film on the YYC template showed the higher $I_c$ than that on CYC template. Especially, the IBAD templates with a thin $CeO_2$(type I) and thick $CeO_2$(type II) top layer were used to compare the deposition nature of the YBCO on them. Comparing the current property of the YBCO films on IBAD templates, the YBCO film deposited on thick $CeO_2$ layer was better than the film on thin $CeO_2$ layer.

  • We fabricated textured Ag substrates for YBCO coated conductor and evaluated the effects of annealing temperature on microstructural evolution, texture formation, and surface morphology. Ag ingot, as an initial specimen, was prepared by plasma arc melting(PAM). Subsequently, the ingot was cold rolled to 100 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thick tape and annealed at temperatures of 600-80$0^{\circ}C$. The texture and surface morphology of the substrate were characterized by pole-figure and atomic force microscopy(AFM) profile, respectively. It was observed that a strong {110}<110> texture was formed after annealing and its symmetry improved as annealing temperature increased. The full-width at half-maximum(FWHM) of {110}<110> pole was as sharp as 10$^{\circ}$ for the substrate annealed at 80$0^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, it was found that the thermal grooving and faceting became remarkable as annealing temperature increased : root-mean-square(RMS) roughness of the substrate annealed at 80$0^{\circ}C$ was 39.2 nm. The substrate of strong texture and smooth surface, fabricated in our study, is considered to be suitable for use as a substrate for the epitaxial deposition of superconductor film.

  • The crystalline alignment of Ni substrates textured by RABiTS have a probability distribution in the surface plane. This makes it difficult to obtain a high quality of textures over all the range of a long Ni tape. In order to improve the textures of Ni tape, we have investigated a new method of texturing. We obtained non-cube textured Ni tapes by rolling and annealing a high purity Ni. In these tapes, the [001]-axes were tilted around the rolling direction, and the [100]-axes were parallel to the rolling direction. The average grain size was several cm$^2$. We deposited buffer layer (CeO$^2$/YSZ/CeO$^2$) and YBCO on those tapes. We found out that a YBCO film with grows normal with respect to the surface and this feature is independent of the tilting angles of the Ni [001]-axes.
