Thin films of $V_2O_3$, $VO_2$, and $V_2O_5$ were obtained from a single precursor solution through post-annealing processes under different annealing conditions. As annealed in air, the deposited films became $V_2O_5$ with orthorhombic crystal structure, while they were $V_2O_3$ and $VO_2$ with rhombohedral and monoclinic crystal structure as annealed in vacuums with base pressure of $1{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr and with 10 mTorr $O_2$ pressure, respectively. Electrical and optical measurements indicated that the $V_2O_5$ and $VO_2$ films are semiconducting, while the $V_2O_3$ films are metallic at room temperature. Chromium doping in $VO_2$ resulted in a decrease of the resistivity and changed the conduction type from n-type to p-type. 10% Cr-doped $VO_2$ films were found to have orthorhombic crystal structure, which is different from that of the undoped $VO_2$. Spectral features in the optical absorption spectra of all the films were interpreted as the transitions involving O 2p and V 3d bands. The crystal-field splittings between $t_{2g}$ and $e_g$ states of the V 3d bands are estimated to be about 1.5 and 1.0 eV for $V_2O_5$ and $VO_2$, respectively.

$VO_2$ is an attractive thermochromic material, in which its electrical and optical properties can be switched by the structural phase-transition about $68^{\circ}C$. Recently, graphene is also a rising material which is researched as a transparent electrode because of its superior electrical and optical characteristics. In this respect, we try to fabricate the hybridized films using $VO_2$ and graphene on transparent sapphire substrate and then we investigate a structure and characterize an optical property for the samples as a function of temperature. According to the result of IR-transmittance analysis of $VO_2$ films as a function of temperature, the graphene-supported sapphire substrates are better about 10% than the bare sapphire substrates. The mean phase transition temperatures are also decreased as the number of graphene-layers increased and the hysteresis of phase transitions are narrowed.

Purposes: The purposes of this study were to investigate the optical, structural and electrical properties of the antimony doped tin oxide(ATO) thin films according to certain variable deposition conditions, such as RF input power and T-S (target-substrate) distance change, using transparent conducting oxide (TCO). Methods: ATO thin films of Sb concentration ratio with $SnO_2:Sb_2O_5$ = 95:5 wt% were deposited at room temperature by RF magnetron sputtering method. Results: ATO thin films were most sensitive to the RF input power: light transmittance was 78% at RF input power of 30W, and 0.56 nm for the surface roughness and 1007 $\Omega{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ for the sheet resistance as well. Conclusions: It was found that ATO thin films were showed the large change in its characteristics of structural, optical and electrical properties which were affected by T-S distance and RF input power.

In this study, we propose a design method to optimize the electro-optical efficiency of a planar solar cell structure by adjusting one-dimensionally periodic emitter electrodes. Since the aperture ratio of the active layer decreases as the period of the emitter electrode decreases, the amount of light absorption diminishes, affecting the performance of the device. Here we design the optimal structure of the periodic emitter electrode in a simple planar solar cell, by simulation. In terms of optics, we find the condition that shows optical performance similar to that of a reference without the emitter electrode. In addition, the optimized electrode structure is extracted considering both the optical and electrical efficiency. This work will help to increase the utilization of solar cells by suggesting a structure that can most efficiently transfer charge generated by photoelectric conversion to the electrodes.

RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 유리 기판위에 ZnO:Al 박막을 증착하고 열공정에 따른 박막의 구조적, 광학적, 전기적 특성을 연구하였다. 열공정 파라미터로는 공정 온도와 어닐링 온도를 이용하였다. 각각의 열공정 파라미터 변화에 따라 ZnO:Al 박막의 특성이 영향 받음을 확인하였다. 모든 샘플에서(002) 우선 배향성을 보였으며 80% 이상의 투과도 특성을 보였다. 하지만, 열공정에 따라 결정성이 나빠지기도 좋아지기도 하였다. 표면 거칠기는 열공정 종류에 상관없이 온도 증가에 따라 증가하였다. 또한, 투과도도 열공정 종류에 상관없이 온도 증가에 따라 감소함을 보인 반면 광학적 밴드갭은 적색이동 현상을 나타내었다. 적색이동 현상은 Burstein-Moss effect와 관련이 있으며 온도증가에 따라 캐리어 이동도가 감소하여 나타난 현상이다. 열공정에서 따라 비저항이 민감하게 변화하였다. 각각의 열공정에서 온도가 증가함에 따라 비저항이 증가하였고 캐리어 농도와 이동도는 감소함을 보이고 있다. ZnO:Al 박막의 화학적인 상태를 분석한 결과, 열공정 온도에 따라 Al 농도 변화와 불순물 표면 흡착 변화가 발생하였으며 이에 따라캐리어 농도와 이동도의 감소가 나타난 것으로 판단된다.
