Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films have been fabricated by vertical in-line dc magnetron sputtering for transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) applications. The effects of substrate temperature and dc power on the characteristics of AZO thin films are investigated and also optimized the process conditions to get the best electrical and optical properties. The fabricated thin films show a good electrical and optical uniformity within ${\pm}5%$ over the whole area of substrate ($200mm\;{\times}\;200mm$) ; the minimum resistivity of $8\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;{\Omega}cm$ and the average transmittance of 90% within the visible wavelength range. We have found that the band gap ($E_g$) increases with increasing substrate temperature and dc power, whereas the crystallinity is getting improved with increasing substrate temperature. The binding energy of Zn $2p_{3/2}$ and O 1s is observed to decrease as the substrate temperature increases.

We have deposited aluminum-doped ZnO thin films on borosilicate glass by atomic layer deposition. Diethylzinc (DEZ) and dimethylaluminum isopropoxide (DMAIP) were used as the metal precursor and the Al-dopant, respectively. Water was used as an oxygen source. DMAIP was successfully used as an aluminum precursor for chemical vapor deposition and ALD. All deposited films showed n-type conduction. The resistivity decreased to a minimum and then increased with increasing the aluminum content. The carrier concentration increased and the carrier mobility decreased with increasing the DMAIP to DEZ pulse ratio. The average optical transmittance was nearly 80 % in the visible part of the spectrum. The absorption edge moved to the shorter wavelength region with increasing the DMAIP to DEZ pulse ratio. Our results indicate that DMAIP is suitable for Al doping of ZnO films.

ZnO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and then diffused by using an As source in the ampouletube. Also, the ZnO p-n homojunction was made by using As-doped ZnO thin films, and its properties were analyzed. After the As doping, the surface roughness increased, the crystal quality deteriorated, and the full width at half maximum was increased. The As-doped ZnO thin films showed typical p-type properties, and their resistivity was as low as $2.19{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$, probably because of the in-diffusion from an external As source and out-diffusion from the GaAs substrate. Also, the ZnO p-n junction displayed the typical rectification properties of a p-n junction. Therefore, the As diffusion method is effective for obtaining ZnO films with p-type properties.

첨가제로 $Al_{2}$$O_{3}$가 포함된 ZnO 소결체가 타깃을 이용하여 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 Al이 첨가된 ZnO박막을 증착하고, 타깃에 첨가된 $Al_{2}$$O_{3}$의 농도와 증착시 스퍼터링장치내의 기판위치에 따른 박막의 물성 변화를 고찰하였다. 타깃의 $Al_{2}$$O_{3}$ 첨가농도가 2wt%인 경우에 비저항치 8 $\times$ $10_{-3}$ $\Omega$-cm인 박막이 증차되었다. 또한 $Al_{2}$$O_{3}$가 2wt%이상 첨가된 경우는 모든 Al이 박막내부에서 Zn를 치환하여 전자주게로의 역할을 하지 못하고, 오히려 치환되지 못한 Al원자의 중성 불순물 산란효과에 의해 박막의 비저항이 증가하였다. 타깃의 마모영역 위에서 증착된 Al을 첨가한 ZnO 박막은 그 영역 KR에서 증착된 박막보다 높은 비저항값을 나타냈으며, 이는 큰 에너지를 가지는 산소입자의 충돌에 기인한 것으로 여겨진다.

The properties of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films were investigated as a function of H2/(Ar + H2) gas ratio using an AZO (2 wt% Al2O3) ceramic target in a radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering system. The deposition process was done at 200 ℃ and in 2 × 10-2Torr working pressure and with various ratios of H2/(Ar + H2) gas. During the AZO film deposition process, partial H2 gas affected the AZO film characteristics. The electron resistivity (~ 9.21 × 10-4 Ωcm) was lowest and mobility (~17.8 ㎠/Vs) was highest in AZO films when the H2/(Ar + H2) gas ratio was 2.5%. When the H2/(Ar + H2) gas ratio was increased above 2.5%, the electron resistivity increased and mobility decreased with increasing H2/(Ar + H2) gas ratio in AZO films. The carrier concentration increased with increasing H2/(Ar + H2) gas ratio from 0% to 7.5%. This phenomenon was explained by reaction of hydrogen and oxygen and additional formation of oxygen vacancy. The average optical transmission in the visible light wavelength region over 90% and an orientation of the deposition was [002] orientation for AZO films grown with all H2/(Ar + H2) gas ratios.

Dependence of the crystallinity, surface roughness, carrier concentration, carrier mobility, electrical resistivity and transmittance of Al-doped ZnO films deposited on glass substrates by RF-magnetron sputtering on effects of the ratio of the RF power for AlZnO to that for ZnO (R) have been investigated. X-ray diffraction spectra show strong preferred orientation along the c-axis. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the ZnO (002) peak decreases slightly as R increases in the range of R<1.0, whereas it increases substantially in the range of R>1.0. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) show that the ZnO film surface becomes coarse as R increases. The carrier concentration and the carrier mobility in the ZnO thin film are maximal for R=1.5 and 1.0, respectively. The electrical resistivity is minimal for R=1.0 The transmittance of the ZnO:Al film tends to increase, but to decrease slightly in the range of R>0.5. It may be concluded that the optimum R value is 1.0, considering all these analysis results. The cause of the changes in the structure and physical properties of ZnO thin films with R are also discussed.

The epitaxial Cu-doped ZnO and pure ZnO thin films were grown on Al2O3 (0001) substrates by RF sputtering method. The structures and crystallographic orientations were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. From the XRD pattern, it is observed that peak positions shift towards higher $2{\theta}$ value with Cu doping. The ${\omega}$-scan measurements at the (0002) diffraction peak for these samples reveal that the full-widths at half-maxima (FWHMs) are about $0.017-0.019^{\circ}$, which indicate a good c-axis orientation of the Zn1-xCuxO films. From phi-scan, all of the Zn1-xCuxO films were epitaxially grown. EXAFS measurements also demonstrated that Cu incorporated into a Zn-atom position substitutionally. All the results confirmed that copper ion were well incorporated into the ZnO lattices by substituting Zn sites without changing the wurtzite structure and no secondary phase existed in Cu-doped ZnO thin films.

본 연구에서는 ZnO계 투명전극 소재를 이용하여 RFID 태그 안테나에 적용 가능성 여부를 확인하였다. Si 기판위에 RF 스퍼터링 공정에 의해 Ga-doped ZnO 투명 마이크로스트립 스파이혈 안테나를 $2{\mu}m$를 증착하여 구현하고 그 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. HFSS 전자계 시뮬레이터를 사용하여 13.56MHz HF 주파수 대역에서 태그 안테나로서의 가능성을 검증한 후 Ga-doped ZnO 타겟을 사용한 RF 스퍼터링 공정에 의하여 스파이럴 안테나 패턴을 구현하였다. 마이크로스트립 선폭 및 선 간격을 $50\sim200{\mu}m$때 영역에서 조절하면서 안테나 패턴을 설계하였다. S 파라메터, 자기공진주파수 및 Q값을 시뮬레이션으로부터 도출하였다. Al $2{\mu}m$ 증착한 시편에 비하여 약 -10dB 정도의 이득저하가 발생하였으나 리더-태그를 밀착시킨 조건에서 1.7V (13.56MHz) 전압검출이 가능하였다.
