ITO 투명 전극 필름은 디스플레이, 전기 자동차 등 산업 전 범위에서 널리 사용되는 전자 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 indium tin oxide (ITO) 필름의 열성형 안정성을 향상시키기 위하여 Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) 전도성 고분자 코팅 용액 조성을 결정하였다. 1000 S/cm의 고 전도성을 보이는 PEDOT:PSS 용액에 끓는점이 각기 다른 4가지 종류의 용매를 희석하였고, 코팅 전 후 면저항 변화를 분석하였다. 또한 380~800 nm 영역의 광 투과율 분석 및 Raman 스펙트럼 분석을 통하여 PEDOT:PSS 박막이 코팅된 ITO 투명 전극의 전기적 특성 결정 메커니즘을 규명하였다. 230℃ 열성형 공정 결과 ITO 필름은 113% 연신 상태에서 이미 전기 전도성을 읽었지만, ethylene glycol을 희석 용매로 사용하여 얻어진 전도성 고분자 박막이 적용된 ITO 필름은 126% 고 연신 상태에서도 초기 60 Ω/sq 면저항을 246 Ω/sq로 유지하는 우수한 전기 전도성을 보였다.

Optically transparent, highly conductive coating have been major theme of thin film science efforts for some years. In this work, t-MWNT(thin Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes) are acid treated, then the stable dispersion of t-MWNTs in polar solvent such as alcohols, was achieved by sonication. The transparent conducting films are prepared using the one component solution of t-MWNT/epoxy binder via spray coating on glass substrate. The characterization of acid treated t-MWNTs was performed by Raman spectrometer. The opto-electrical properties of conducting films are analyzed by the binder concentration, and the effect of co-solvent on the compatibility and dispersibility of one component t-MWNT/epoxy binder solutions are discussed.

Transparent conducting nanoscale-domes were periodically patterned on a Si substrate by nanoimprint method. Transparent conductor of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) was shaped as a nanodome, which effectively drives the incident light effectively into a light-absorber and therefore induces a substantially enhanced photo-response. An ITO nanodome is electrically isolated from the neighboring nanodomes. This structure benefits to provide a low contact between a Si substrate and a front metal electrode giving an efficient electrical path. The ITO nanodome device showed a significantly enhanced photo-response of 6010 from the value of 72.9 of a planar ITO film. The electrical and optical advantage of an ITO nanodome is suitable for various photoelectric applications.

We study on the optical and electrical properties of indium-free ZTO(ZnSnO)/Ag/ZTO (ZAZ) multilayer electrodes for the low-cost transparent electrode. In the first step, each single layer was deposited using rf magnetron in-line sputter with various working pressure based on $O_2$/$Ar+O_2$ ratio (0~3%) and power at room temperature. Secondly, we studied the optical and electrical properties by analyzing the refractive index, extinction coefficient, transmittance and resistivity of each layer. Finally, we optimized the thickness of each layer using macleod simulation program based on the analyzed optical properties and fabricated the multilayer electrode. As a result, We achieved a low sheet resistance of $11{\Omega}$/sq and anaverage transmittance of 80% in the visible region of light (380~780 nm). This indicates that indium-free ZAZ multilayer electrode is a promising low-cost and low-temperature processing electrode scheme.

We report on the Ag thickness effect on the electrical and optical properties of indium zinc tin oxide (IZTO)-Ag-IZTO multilayer electrode grown on a PET substrate and the surface plasmon effect of Ag layer on the optical properties of IZTO-Ag-IZTO electrode. Using an IZTO-Ag-IZTO multilayer with a total thickness below ~80 nm, we can obtain high-quality flexible electrode with very low sheet resistance, high transmittance, high work function and superior flexibility.

On the piezoelectric polymer, PVDF (poly vinylidene fluoride), the transparent conducting oxide (TCO) electrode material thin film was deposited by roll to roll sputtering process mentioned as a mass product-friendly process for display application. The deposition method for ITO Indium Tin Oxides) as our TCO was DC magnetron sputtering optimized for polymer substrate with the low process temperature. As a result, a high transparent and good conductive ITO/PVDF film was prepared. During the process, especially, the gas mixture ratio of Ar and Oxygen was concluded as an important factor for determining the film's physical properties. There were the optimum ranges for process conditions of mixture gas ratio for ITO/PVDF From these results, the doping mechanism between the oxygen atom and the metal element, Indium or Tin was highly influenced by oxygen partial pressure condition during the deposition process at ambient temperature, which gives the conductivity to oxide electrode, as generally accepted. With our studies, the process windows of TCO for display and other application can be expected.

Flexible transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) have recently attracted a great deal of attention owing to rapid advances in flexible electronic devices, such as flexible displays, flexible photovoltanics, and e-papers. As the performance and reliability of flexible electronics are critically affected by the quality of TCE films, it is imperative to develop TCE films with low resistivity and high transparency as well as high flexibility. Indium tin oxide (ITO) has been the most dominant transparent conducting material due to its high optical transparency and electrical conductivity. However, ITO is susceptible to cracking and delamination when it is bent or deformed. Therefore, various types of flexible TCEs, such as carbon nanotube, conducting polymers, graphene, metal mesh, Ag nanowires (NWs), and metal mesh have been extensively investigated. Among several options to replace ITO film, Ag NWs and metal mesh have been suggested as the promising candidate for flexible TCEs. In this paper, we focused on Ag NWs and metal mesh, and summarized the current development status of Ag NWs and metal mesh. The several critical issues such as high contact resistance and haze are discussed, and newly developed technologies to resolve these issues are also presented. In particular, the flexibility and durability of Ag NWs and metal mesh was compared with ITO electrode.

Transparent and conductive multilayer thin films consisting of three alternating layers FZTO/Ag/$WO_3$ have been fabricated by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering for the applications as transparent conducting oxides and the structural and optical properties of the resulting films were carefully studied. The single layer fluorine doped zinc tin oxide (FZTO) and tungsten oxide ($WO_3$) films grown at room temperature are found to have an amorphous structure. Multilayer structured electrode with a few nm Ag layer embedded in FZTO/Ag/$WO_3$ (FAW) was fabricated and showed the optical transmittance of 87.60 % in the visible range (${\lambda}=380{\sim}770nm$), quite low electrical resistivity of ${\sim}10^{-5}{\Omega}cm$ and the corresponding figure of merit ($T^{10}/R_s$) is equivalent to $3.0{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}^{-1}$. The resultant power conversion efficiency of 2.50% of the multilayer based OPV is lower than that of the reference commercial ITO. Asymmetric D/M/D multilayer is a promising transparent conducting electrode material due to its low resistivity, high transmittance, low temperature deposition and low cost components.

A novel non-alkoxide sol-gel process for synthesizing Ga-doped ZnO thin film on glass was derived for possible use as a transparent electrode in flat-panel displays, using zinc acetate dehydrate as the starting material. The structural and electrical properties of thin films have been characterized as functions of Ga addition and post-heat-treatments. Their carrier density, Hall mobility, and optical transmittance were measured and discussed herein to explain the characteristics of the sol-gel-derived Ga-doped ZnO thin film on glass.
