  • Thin film solar cells based on CIGS continue to be a leading candidate for thin film photovoltaic devices due to their appropriate bandgap, long-term stability, and low-cost production. To date, the most successful technique for the deposition of a CIGS absorber layer has been based on the co-evaporation However, the evaporation process is difficult to scale-up for large-area manufacturing the sputtering and Selenizaton process has been a promising method for low-cost and large-scale production of high quality CIGS In this study, we have used Cu and CuIn alloy targets for precursor deposition the precursor deposited by sputtering Cu and CuIn targets and $CuInSe_2$ thin film is manufactured by Selenization process

  • 최근 기본적인 pin 구조의 박막 cell 에서 i layer를 최적화 시키는 방안으로 double layer 구조가 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ASA(Advanced Semicon ductor Analysis) simulation을 이용하여 i-double layer 최적화에 대한 연구를 진행해 보았다. 두께 150/150nm의 i double layer의 band gap 가변을 한 simulation 결과를 보았을 때, p쪽의 band gap이 상승하면서 intrinsic layer 내의 field가 증가하여 recombination center가 감소하였으나 FF의 감소가 있었다. n쪽의 band gap을 상승 시켰을때 n/i 쪽 field 증가로 Voc가 상승되어 초기 효율이 증가하였으나 intrinsic layer내의 field가 감소하여 recombination center가 오히려 증가하였다. 결과적으로 electric field와 효율을 동시에 고려했을 때 두께 300nm, 1.75의 band gap을 가지는 single layer 보다 150/150nm두께에 1.8/1.7 또는 1.8/1.75의 bandgap을 가지는 double layer를 사용하였을 때 보다 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있었다.

  • In this study, temperature dependency of current gain for AlGaAs/GaAs/GaAs HBT is analytically proposed over the temperature range between 300K and 600K. Energy bandgap, effective mass, intrinsic carrier concentration are considered as temperature dependent parameters. Collector current which is numerically calculated is then analytically expressed to enhance the speed of calculation for current gain. From the results, current gain decreases as the temperature increases. These results will be used to expect the unity current gain frequency f$_{T}$ in conjunction with emitter-base and collector- base capacitances.s.

  • Blue-green and green LEDs have been successfully fabricated grown by MBE, which has introduced the $ZnS_ySe_{1-x-y}:Te_x$ (x=0.04, y~0.11-0.14) ternary epilayer as an active layer. From the I-V characteristics, the built-in voltage (~2.1 V) is very small compared to other wide bandgap LEDs, such as commercial InGaN-based LEDs (>3.2 V). From the C-V profiling, the effective carrier concentration in the p-type ZnMgSSe cladding layer was evaluated as ${\sim}2.8{\times}10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$ for the present LEDs.

  • In this paper, structual, optical properties of CdTe thin films and photovoltaic properties of thin film CdS/CdTe solar cell prepared by thermal vacuum evaporation were studied. The crystal structure of CdTe films was zircblend type with preferential orientation of the (111)plane parallel to the substrate. The heat treatment appears to stabilize this structure. The result of optical absorption and transmittance show that solar radiation with energy larger than bandgap is almost completely absorbed within an about $2{\mu}m$ thickness of the evaporated CdTe layer and transmittance of the CdTe film was larger with increasing annealing temperature. It was found that CdS/CdTe solar cell characteristics were improved by the heat treatment.

  • Highly efficient red phosphorescent OLEDs (PHOLEDs) with a simple, organic, triple-layer structure was developed using the narrow-bandgap fluorescent host material bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h] quinolinato)beryllium complex (Bebq2) and the deep-red dopant tris(1-phenylisoquinoline)iridium (Ir(piq)3). The maximum current and power efficiency values of 12.71 cd/A and 16.02 lm/W, respectively, with an extremely low doping technology of 1%, are demonstrated herein. The results reveal a practical, cost-saving host dopant system for the fabrication of highly efficient PHOLEDs involving the simple structure presented herein, with a reduction of expensive Ir dopants.

  • Graphene have renewed considerable interest in inorganic, two-dimensional materials for future electronics. However, graphene does not have a bandgap, it is limited to apply directly to transistors and logic devices. Hence, other layered materials such as molybdenum disulphide ($MoS_2$) have been investigated to address this challenge. Here, we find that the nature of contacts plays a more important role than the semiconductor itself. In order to understand the nature of $MoS_2$/metal contacts, we perform density functional theory electronic structure calculations based on linear combination of atomic for the geometry, bonding, binding energy, PDOS, LDOS and electronic structure. We choose Au as a contact metal because it is the most common contact metal. In this paper, we demonstrate $MoS_2$/Au contacts have a more promising potential in flexible nanoelectronics than $MoS_2$ itself.

  • The band-gap opening in graphene is a key factor in developing graphene-based field effect transistors. Although graphene is a gapless semimetal, a band-gap opens when graphene is formed into a graphene nanoribbon (GNR). Moreover, the band-gap energy can be manipulated by the width of the GNR. In this study, we propose a site-specific synthesis of a width-tailored GNR directly onto an insulating substrate. Predeposition of a diamond-like carbon nanotemplate onto a SiO2/Si wafer via focused ion beam-assisted chemical vapor deposition is first utilized for growth of the GNR. These results may present a feasible route for growing a width-tailored GNR onto a specific region of an insulating substrate.
