Abstract

Various ZnO/Ag/ZnO multilayers were fabricated and their optical properties were investigated. Top and bottom ZnO layers were formed by sol-gel method and mid-metal layers were deposited by spin coating. To find suitable deposition condition of Ag, we measure thickness and sheet resistance of Ag monolayer. After the optimization of Ag monolayer, we fabricate ZnO/Ag/ZnO multilayers. Transmittance of ZnO/Ag/ZnO multilayers increased to 63%. In near IR region, transmittance of ZnO/Ag/ZnO multilayers decreased to 35% when the concentration of Ag solution was 2.5wt%.

본 논문은 용액공정으로 제작한 ZnO/Ag/ZnO 다층구조의 투과도에 대해 연구하였다. 다양한 두께의 ZnO/Ag/ZnO 다층구조를 스핀코팅을 이용해 제작하였고 광학적 특성을 측정하였다. ZnO는 졸겔법으로 제작하였고 Ag는 Ag 용액을 이용해 스핀코팅으로 증착하였다. 최적화된 Ag 두께를 찾기 위해 Ag 용액의 농도, 스핀코팅의 회전속도를 조절하고 두께와 면저항을 측정하였다. ZnO/Ag/ZnO 다층구조의 투과도는 가시광 영역에서 최대 63%까지 증가하였다. 적외선 영역에서 ZnO/Ag/ZnO 다층구조의 투과도는 Ag 용액의 농도가 2.5wt%일 때 투과도가 35%까지 감소하였다.
