The characteristics of $Al_2O_3/Ag/Al_2O_3$ multilayer passivaton prepared by twin target sputtering (TTS) system for organic light emitting diodes. The $Al_2O_3/Ag/Al_2O_3$ multilayer thin film passivation on a PET substrate had a high transmittance of 86.44 % and low water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of $0.011\;g/m^2$-day due to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of Ag interlayer and effective multilayer structure for preventing the intrusion of water vapor. Using synchrotron x-ray scattering and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) examinations, we investigated the growth behavior of Ag layer on the $Al_2O_3$ layer to explain the SPR effect of the Ag layer. This indicates that an $Al_2O_3/Ag/Al_2O_3$ multilayer passivation is a promising thin film passivation scheme for organic based flexible optoelectronics.

수평 전기로에서 $AgGaS_2$ 다결정을 합성하여 HWE 방법으로 $AgGaS_2$ 단결정 박막을 성장하였다. $AgGaS_2$ 단결정 박막을 성잘할 때 증발원과 기판의 온도를 각각 $590^{\circ}C$, $440^{\circ}C$로 성장하였을 때 이중결정 X-선 요동곡선(double crystal X-ray diffraction rocking curve, DCRC)의 반폭치(FWHM)값이 124 arcsec로 가장 작아 최적 성장조건이었다. 상온에서 $AgGaS_2$ 단결정 박막의 광흡수 특성으로부터 에너지 띠간격이 2.61cV였다. Band edge에 해당하는 광전도도 peak의 온도 의존성은 Varshni 관계식으로 설명되었으며, Vaeshni 관계식의 상수값은 Eg(0) = 2.7284eV, $\alpha$= 8.695$\times$10-4 eV/K, $\beta$= 332K 로 주어졌다. 광발광 봉우리는 20K에서 414.3nm(2.9926eV)와 414.1nm(2.7249eV)는 free exciton(Ex)의 upper polariton과 lower polariton인 {{{{{E}`_{x} ^{u} }}}}와 {{{{{E}`_{x} ^{L} }}}}, 423.6nm(2.9269eV)는 bound exciton emission에 의한 I로 관측되었다. 또한 455nm(2.7249eV)의 peak는 donor-acceptor pair(DAP)에 기인하는 광발광 봉우리로 관측되었다.

We prepared ZnO thin films coating Ag on glass substrates at room temperature by using facing targets sputtering (FTS) method. ZnO thin films were deposited with same conditions. Ag with various thickness of thin films were used as intermediate layers. The electrical, optical and crystallographic properties of thin films were investigated by Four-Point probe, UV/VIS spectrometer and XRD. From the results, we could confirm that the thickness of Ag layer changes the electrical and optical performances of the multilayers.

AZO/Ag/AZO multi-layer films deposited on glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering and thermal evaporator have a much better electrical properties than Al-doped ZnO thin films. The multi-layer structure consisted of three layers, AZO/Ag/AZO, the electrical and optical properties of AZO/Ag/AZO were changed mainly by thickness of Ag layers. The optimum thickness of Ag layers was determined to be $90{\AA}$ for high optical transmittance and good electrical conductivity. The Ag layers thickness $90{\AA}$ is an optical transmittance greater than 80% of visible light and the obtained multilayer thin film with the low resistivity of $8.05{\times}10-3{\Omega}cm$ and the low sheet resistance $5.331{\Omega}/sq$. Applying to TCO and Solar electrode will improve efficiency.

We fabricated a-IGZO TFT with AZO/Ag/AZO transparent multilayer source/drain contacts by rf magnetron sputtering. Enhanced electrical device performance of a-IGZO TFT with AZO/Ag/AZO multilayer S/D electrodes (W/L = = 400/50 mm) was achieved with a subs-threshold swing of 3.78 V/dec, a minimum off-current of 10-12 A, a threshold voltage of 1.80 V, a field effect mobility of 10.86 cm2/Vs, and an on/off ration of 9x109. It demonstrated the potential application of the AZO/Ag/AZO film as a promising S/D contact material for the fabrication of the high performance TFTs.

We have developed the transparent passivation layer for top emission organic light emitting diodes using CsCl thin film by the thermal evaporation method. The CsCl film was deposited on the Ca/Ag semitransparent cathode. The optical transmittance of Ca/ Ag/CsCl triple layer is higher than that of Ca/Ag double layer in the visible range. The device with a structure of glass/Ni/2-TNATA/a-NPD/Alq3:C545T/BCP/Alq3/Ca/Ag/CsCl results in higher efficiency than the device without CsCl passivation layer. The device without CsCl thin film shows a current efficiency of 7 cd/A, whereas the device passivated with CsCl layer shows an efficiency of 10 cd/A. This increase of efficiency isresulted from the increased optical extraction by the CsCl passivation layer.

본 연구에서는 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용해 MgO 단결정 기판 위에 성장된 Ag/CoFeB 박막의 스퍼터링 조건에 따른 박막 미세구조의 변화를 연구하였다. Ag 박막의 결정성 및 표면 거칠기는 인가전력(sputtering power) 및 증착온도의 변화에 따라 증착온도가 증가하는 경우 (200) 방향의 결정성이 향상되는 것을 확인하였으며, 인가전력이 증가되는 경우 표면 거칠기가 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 고분해능 TEM(transmission electron microscopy) 및 XRR(X-ray reflectivity) 측정을 통해 MgO 기판 위 Ag층의 켜쌓기 성장 및 MgO 기판과 Ag층 사이에 산화층에 해당하는 계면층이 존재하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 증착온도의 증가에 따른 Ag의 섬상구조 형성 및 intermixing 효과에 의한 Ag/CoFeB 계면층의 변화 및 자기적 특성의 변화를 연구하였다.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for AgInS$_2$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, AgInS$_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy(HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were 680 $^{\circ}C$ and 410 $^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of AgInS$_2$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are 9.35${\times}$10$\^$16/ cm$\^$-3/ and 294 $\textrm{cm}^2$/V$.$s at 293 K, respectively. From the optical absorption measurement, the temperature dependence of the energy band gap on AgInS$_2$ single crystal thin films was found to be E$\_$g/(T) : 2.1365 eV - (9.89 ${\times}$ 10$\^$-3/ eV) T$^2$/(2930 + T). After the as-grown AgInS$_2$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Ag-, S-, and In-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of AgInS$_2$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by using the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K. The native defects of V$\_$AG/, V$\_$S/, Ag$\_$int/, and S$\_$int/ obtained from PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the S-atmosphere converted AgInS$_2$ single crystal thin films to an optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that In in AgInS$_2$/GaAs did not form the native defects because In in AgInS$_2$ single crystal thin films did exist in the form of stable bonds.

To obtain the single crystal thin films. $AgGaS_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-Insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $590^{\circ}C$ and $440^{\circ}C$, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaS_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=2.7284 eV-(8.695{\times}10^{-4} eV/K)T^2/(T+332 K)$. After the as-grown $AgGaS_2$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Ag-, S-, and Ga-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $AgGaS_2$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K.

Recent advances in technology using ultra-thin noble metal film in oxide/metal/oxide structures have attracted attention because this material is a promising alternative to meet the needs of transparent conduction electrodes (TCE). AZO/Ag/AZO multilayer films are prepared by magnetron sputtering for Cu₂ZnSn(S,Se)₄ (CZTSSe) of kesterite solar cells. It is shown that the electrical and optical properties of the AZO/Ag/AZO multilayer films can be improved by the very low resistivity and surface plasmon effects due to the deposition of different thicknesses of Ag layer between oxide layers fixed at AZO 30 nm. The AZO/Ag/AZO multilayer films of Ag 15 nm show high mobility of 26.4 ㎠/Vs and low resistivity and sheet resistance of 3.58^⁎10^-5 Ωcm and 5.0 Ω/sq. Also, the AZO/Ag (15 nm)/AZO multilayer film shows relatively high transmittance of more than 65 % in the visible region. Through this, we fabricated CZTSSe thin film solar cells with 7.51 % efficiency by improving the short-circuit current density and fill factor to 27.7 mV/㎠ and 62 %, respectively.
