  • Single crystal $CdGa_2Se_4$ layers were grown on a thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate at $420^{\circ}C$ with the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system by evaporating the poly crystal source of $CdGa_2Se_4$ at $630\;^{\circ}C$. 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 single crystal $CdGa_2Se_4$ thin films measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.27\;\times\;10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$, $345\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The photocurrent and the absorption spectra of $CdGa_2Se_4$/SI(Semi-Insulated) GaAs(100) are measured ranging from 293 K to 10K. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $CdGa_2Se_4$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g$(T) = 2.6400 eV - ($7.721\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2$/(T + 399 K). Using the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasi cubic model, the crystal field energy(${\Delta}cr$) and the spin-orbit splitting energy(${\Delta}so$) for the valence band of the $CdGa_2Se_4$ have been estimated to be 106.5 meV and 418.9 meV at 10 K, respectively. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_1$-, $B_1$-, and $C_{11}$-exciton peaks.

  • CdS synthesized by the chemical bath method at $70^{\circ}C$, has been used as an electron transport layer in the planar structure of the perovskite solar cells. A two-step spin process produced a mixed halide perovskite of $CH_3NH_3PbI_{3-x}Cl_x$ and a mixture of $PbCl_2$ and $PbI_2$ was deposited on CdS, followed by a sub-sequential reaction with MAI ($CH_3NH_3I$). The added $PbCl_2$ to $PbI_2$ in the first spin-step affected the structure, orientation, and shape of lead halides, which varied depending on the content of Cl. A small amount of Cl enhanced the surface morphology and the preferred orientation of $PbI_2$, which led to large and uniform grains of perovskite thin films. In contrast, the high content of Cl produces a new phase PbICl in addition to $PbI_2$, which leads to the small and highly uniform grains of perovskites. An improved surface coverage of perovskite films with the large and uniform grains maximized the performance of perovskite solar cells at 0.1 molar ratio of $PbCl_2$ to $PbI_2$. The depth profiling of elements in both lead halide films and mixed halide perovskite films were measured by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, revealing the distribution of chlorine along with the thickness, and providing the basis for the mechanism for enhanced preferred orientation of lead halide and the microstructure of perovskites.

  • QDs-LEDs(quantum dot light emitting device) should contain well-organized arrays of QDs on an electron transport layer. Thin films of CdSe/ZnS core-shell QDs were successfully fabricated on $TiO_2$ substrates by using PDMS stamp and micro contact printing method. 2-Carboxyethylphosphonic acid(CAPO) and 1,6-hexanedithiol(HDT) were employed as molecular linkers in assembling CdSe/ZnS core-shell QDs with high-density and uniform array. The CAPO increased the binding strength between the QDs and the substrates, and the HDT induced the strong inter-particle attractions of assembled QDs. The assembling properties of QDs thin films were characterized by SEM, AFM, optical microscope and photoluminescence spectroscope(PL).

  • In this paper, the electrical characteristics of CdS thin films doped with a little of impurities(activators) are studied on wavelength(380-760nm), and temperature($120-360^{\circ}K$). These results are as follows. 1) The resistance of pure CdS thin film increases by annealing, and maximum response value of wavelength is shifted to the long wavelength. 2) The spectral responses of light are more sensitive in low temperature(160K) than in room temperature. 3) Characteristics of the spectral response of light are improved by doping with 0.5wt% impurity.

  • HWE(Hot-Wall Epitaxy) 방법에 의하여 pyrex 유리기판 위에 CdS 다결정 박막을 성장하였다. X-선 회절실험 결과 CdS 박막은 육방정이었는데 (0002)면보다 91013)면이 강 하게 성장됨을 알 수 있었다. 전자현미경으로 표면을 분석한 결과 입자의 크기는 기판의 온 도가 48$0^{\circ}C$, 증발원의 온도가 $610^{\circ}C$일 때 1~1.5$mu extrm{m}$로서 가장 컸다. 박막의 표면저항은 4-point probe로서 측정한 결과 10-8$\Omega$/\ulcorner이상이었다. 성장된 CdS 다결정 박막의 photoluminesence을 20K에서 측정하였는데 bound exciton, donor acceptor pair에 의한 발광이 관측되었다. Spectral response의 peak는 505nm이었다. CdS 다결정 박막의 표면 저항을 줄이기 위하여 여러 가지 온도에서 Indium을 확산시켰다. 그 결과 표면저항은 ~ $\times$ 101에서 ~ $\times$ 103$\Omega$/\ulcorner 정도 감소되었다. 50$0^{\circ}C$에 In을 1시간 확산시켰을 때 표면저항은 1300$\Omega$/\ulcorner이었다. 이 때 CdS : In의 운반자 농도는 1.2 $\times$ 1018cm-3, 이동도는 1.8cm-2/V-sec, 비저항은 1.3 $\times$ 10-2$\Omega$-cm이었다. CdS : In의 photoluminescence는 20K 에서 Gaussian curve를 보여 주었으며 peak의 위치는 510nm이었다. CdS : In 박막의 spectral response의 peak는 상온에서 500nm이다. CdS : In 광전도 cell의 sensitivity ${\gamma}$ =0.77이고, 최대 허용소비전력은 p=120mW, 100lux에서 rise time은 8 msec, decay time 은 6 msec이다.

  • Tin monosulfide (SnS) is one promising candidate absorber material which replace the current technology based on cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium sulfide selenide (CIGS) for its suitable optical band gap, high absorption coefficient, earth-abundant, non-toxic and cost-effective. During past years work, thin film solar cells based on SnS films had been improved to 4.36% certified efficiency. In this study, Tin monosul fide was obtained by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using the reaction of Tetrakis (dimethylamino) tin (TDMASn, [(CH3)2N]4Sn) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at low temperatures (100 to 200 oC). The direct optical band gap and strong optical absorption of SnS films were observed throughout the Ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV VIS), and the properties of SnS films were analyzed by sanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD).

  • A new technique to grow a manganese-doped zinc-sulfide(ZnS:Mn) has been proposed using the repeated deposition of the Hot Wall method. The optical characteristics and crystallinity for the ZnS and ZnS:Mn thin films deposited on a quartz glass substrate by the method were investigated. Also, The ZnS:Mn thin film elcetroluminescent devices were fabricated by the method to study luminescence characteristics. All films showed (111)-oriented cubic structure. By the repeated deposition, the deposition rates were decreased, and the optical characteristics and crystalline properties were improved, which clarifies that the method is effective to deposit the thin films with good crystallinity Futhermore, the crystallinity was more improved by the doping of Mn. Only one peak emission at around 585nm originating from Mn luminescent center is observed In the photoluminescent and electroluminescent spectra of ZnS:Mn films and the luminance of the ZnS:Mn-based thin film electroluminescent devices was obtained below 60cd/$m^2$ . The optical and crystalline properties, luminescence characteristics are discussed in terms of the effects of the repeated deposition and Mn-doping.
