Zn-In-Sn-O films were prepared at room temperature by combinatorial RF-magnetron co-sputtering system. The cationic contents of the films were varied using a compositionally combinatorial technique. The effects of the oxygen partial pressure and film compositionon the structural and electrical properties were investigated. The Zn-In-Sn-O films deposited at Ar gas atmosphere showed an amorphous phaseirrespective of the film composition. However, the amorphous Zn-In-Sn-O films with a Zn content below 30.0 at% were converted into a bixbyite type-ITO polycrystalline phase with an increase in the oxygen partial pressure. The resistivity, carrier concentration, and Hall mobility were strongly affected by the oxygen partial pressure and chemical composition of the film. At sufficiently high carrier densities above $5{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$, the conduction behavior of amorphous Zn-In-Sn-O film changes from thermally activated to degenerate band conduction accompanied with high mobility.

$La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_3$ (LSCO) electrode thin films with a resistivity of ~ 1,600 ${\mu}{\Omega}cm$ were grown on c-$Al_2O_3$ (0001) substrate. $ZnSnO_3$ (ZTO) thin films with different thicknesses were directly grown on LSCO/c-$Al_2O_3$ (0001) substrates at a substrate temperature that ranged from 550 to $750^{\circ}C$ using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). The secondary phase $Zn_2SnO_4$ occurred during the growth of ZTO films and it became more significant with further increasing substrate temperature. Polarization-electric-field (P-E) hysteresis characteristics, with a remnant polarization and coercive field of 0.05 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ and 48 kV/cm, respectively, were obtained in the ZTO film grown at $700^{\circ}C$ in 200 mTorr.

InGaZnO 박막트랜지스터(TFT)는 기존의 널리 사용되던 비정질 실리콘보다 높은 전하이동도와 Ion/off, 우수한 균일성과 신뢰성의 장점으로 최근 AMOLED양산에 적용되기 시작 하였다. 그러나 60인치 이상의 대면적 디스플레이와 초고해상도의 성능을 동시에 만족하기 위해 10 cm2/Vs정도의 전하이동도를 가지는 InGaZnO로는 한계가 있어 30 cm2/Vs 이상의 전하이동도를 가지는 물질의 연구가 필요하다. 연구에서는 높은 전하이동도를 만족하기 위해 InO2를, 우수한 신뢰성을 가지는 SnO2를 포함하는 InZnSnO로 실험을 진행하였다. 스퍼터링 시스템에서 ITO 타겟과 ZTO 타겟을 사용하여 동시증착법으로 채널을 증착하였고, 산소 분압 변화시에 IZTO TFT 소자 특성의 의존성을 평가하였다. Ar : O2=10 : 0 일 때와 Ar : O2=7 : 3 일 때의 이동도가 각각 12.6cm2/Vs, 19.7cm2/Vs로 산소 비율이 증가함에 따라 전하이동도가 증가하였다. 기존 IGZO 산화물 반도체에서는 산소 비율이 증가하면 산소공공(VO) 농도감소로 인해 전하이동도가 감소한다. 이는 전하농도가 증가하면 전하이동도가 증가하는 percolation 전도기구로 이해할 수 있다. 그러나 본 IZTO 물질에서는 산소비율 증가에 따라 오히려 전하이동도가 증가하였는데, 이는 IZTO 반도체에 함유된 Sn 이온의 가전자상태가 +2/+4가의 상대적 비율이 산소농도에 따라 의존하기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다.

졸겔법에 의해 제조된$ MO-SiO_2$(M=Zn, Sn, In, Ag, Ni)이성분계 실리카 겔에서 금속이온의 종류에 따른 실리카 구조의 변화를 XRD, FT-lR, $^{29}$Si-NMR로 분석하였다. XRD peak을 관찰한 결과 $Ag-SiO_2$겔에서 $AgNO_3$의 부분적인 재결정화가 나타났지만, 첨가된 금속이온과 실리카 매트릭스의 결합에 의한 결정상은 관찰되지 않았다. FT-IR 분석결과 첨가되는 금속이온 중 Zn, Sn, In은 부분적으로 Si-O-M의 결합형태를 이루어 Si-O-Si 대칭 진동에 의한 흡수 peak의 위치를 변화시켰다. $^{29}$Si-NMR 관찰에 의해 Zn, Sn, In등의 금속이온은 실리카의 저온 졸겔 반응에 영향을 미치지 않고 불완전한 네트워크를 갖는 선형적 실리카 구조 내에서 비가교 산소와 결합하며 존재하였다. Ag, Ni는 실리카 네트워크가 형성되는 과정에서 실리카 형성을 위한 졸겔반응의 촉매로서 작용하여, 이러한 금속이온이 첨가된 실리카 네트워크는 보다 치밀한 구조적 특성을 나타내었다.

ZST powders were synthesized by coprecipitation of (Zr4+, Ti4+)-hydroxide in the presence of SnO2 particles. Zn(NO3)2 was used as a sintering additive, and according to the adding sequence, sintering and dielectric properties were investigated. Sintered densities of ZST prepared by adding Zn(NO3)2 before calcination were a little higher than those added after calcination, and dielectric properties of the specimen added by Zn(NO3)2 after calcination were better (sintered at 125$0^{\circ}C$/2 h ; Q$\times$f(GHz)=49, 000, $\varepsilon$r=41) than before calcination (Q$\times$f(GHz)=42, 000, $\varepsilon$r=39.5). Through the observation of TEM, it was identified that the cause was due to the difference of the degree of Zn2+ diffusion into grains. With increasing sintering time from 2 to 8 hrs, grain size was doubled and dielectric properties were somewhat deteriorated.

Transparent and conductive ZnO/Ag/SnO2 (ZAS) tri-layer films were deposited onto glass substrates at room temperature by using radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The thickness values of the ZnO and $SnO_2$ thin films were kept constant at 50 nm and the value for Ag interlayer was varied as 5, 10, 15, and 20 nm. In the XRD pattern the diffraction peaks were identified as the (002) and (103) planes of ZnO, while the (111), (200), (220), and (311) planes could be attributed to the Ag interlayer. The optical transmittance and electrical resistivity were dependent on the thickness of the Ag interlayer. The ZAS films with a 10 nm thick Ag interlayer exhibited a higher figure of merit than the other ZAS films prepared in this study. From the observed results, a ZAS film with a 10 nm thick Ag interlayer was believed to be an alternative transparent electrode candidate for various opto-electrical devices.

산화물 반도체를 이용한 후막형 가스센서의 이산화질소에 대한 감지특성을 조사하였다. 기본 감지물질로는 $WO_{3}$, $SnO_{2}$, ZnO를 사용하였고, 여기에 다른 산화물 반도체를 소량 첨가하여 이산화질소에 대한 감지특성을 실험하였다. 동작온도에 따른 후막센서의 감지특성에서 감도, 회복특성을 고려할 때, $WO_{3}$와 $SnO_{2}$계 감지물질은 $300^{\circ}C$, ZnO계 감지물질은 $220{\sim}260^{\circ}C$ 정도의 동작온도에서 최적의 감지특성을 보였다. 그러나, ZnO계 감지물질은 큰 센서저항으로 인해 안정한 신호를 얻을 수 없었다. 오존, 암모니아, 에탄올, 메탄, 일산화탄소/프로판 혼합가스에 대한 선택성 실험에서 $WO_{3}$-ZnO(3 wt.%)와 $SnO_{2}-WO_{3}$(3 wt.%) 후막센서가 가장 우수한 이산화질소 감지특성을 보였다. 또한, 이들 후막센서들은 반복실험 및 농도의존성 실험을 통해서도 우수한 신호재현성을 보였으며 특히, 1 ppm 이하의 이산화질소를 검지, 정량화 할 수 있음을 보여 주었다.

We have fabricated $SnO_2$/Zn core-shell nanowires by employing a sputtering technique with a Zn target. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that the surface of the nanowires became rougher by the coating. X-ray diffraction of the coated nanowires exhibited the hexagonal Zn diffraction peaks. TEM image of coated structures showed that shell layer was mainly comprised of hexagonal Zn phase. EDX spectra suggested that the shell layer consisted of Zn elements. The photoluminescence spectrum of the coated nanowires in conjunction with Gaussian fitting analysis revealed that the emission was disconvoluted with three Gaussian functions, which are centered at 2.1 eV in the yellow region, 2.4 eV in the green region, and 3.3 eV in the ultraviolet region. We speculated the possible mechanisms of these emission peaks.

In order to reduce the indium contents in transparent conducting oxide(TCO) thin films of $In_{1.6{\sim}1.8}Zn_{0.2}Sn_{0.2{\sim}0.4}O_3$ (IZTO), $In_{1.6}Zn_{0.2}Sn_{0.2}O_{3-{\delta}}$(IZTO) was prepared by replacing indium with Zn and Sn. The TCO films were deposited via RF-magnetron sputtering of the IZTO target at various deposition temperatures and its film characteristics were investigated. When deposited in an Ar atmosphere at $400^{\circ}C$, the electrical resistivity of the film decreased to $6.34{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and the optical transmittance was 80%. As the deposition temperature increased, the crystallinity of the IZTO film was enhanced. As a result, the electrical conductivity and transmittance properties were improved. This demonstrates the possibility of replacing ITO TCO film with IZTO.

Because the Pb-based piezoelectric materials showed problems such as an environmental pollution. lead-free $O_3$ materials were studied in the present study. The $O_3$ thin films were deposited at $640^{\circ}C$ on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2$ substrate by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and were annealed for 5 min at $750^{\circ}C$ using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in nitrogen atmosphere. Samples annealed at $750^{\circ}C$ showed a smooth morphology and an improvement of the dielectric and leakage properties, as compared with as-grown samples. However, electrical properties of the $O_3$ thin films obtained in the present study should be improved for piezoelectric applications.
