ZnO thin film co-doped with F and Al was prepared on a glass substrate via simple non-alkoxide sol-gel spin coating. For a fixed F concentration, the addition of Al co-dopant was shown to reduce the resistivity mainly due to an increase in electrical carrier density compared with ZnO doped with F only, especially after the second post-heat-treatment in a reducing environment. There was no effective positive contribution to the reduction in resistivity due to the mobility enhancement by the addition of Al co-dopant. Optical transmittance of the ZnO thin film co-doped with F and Al in the visible light domain was shown to be higher than that of the ZnO thin film doped with F only.

We describe the fabrication of transparent conducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) film on flexible substrate following the conventional spin coating method. The fabricated film was post treated with diluted acid solution and its electrical and optical characterizations were performed. The electrical conductivity of SWCNTs film was enhanced and the film was found to be attached strongly with substrate after the post treatment.

Aluminium doped zinc oxide(ZnO:Al) thin film, which is mainly used as a transparent conducting electrode in electronic devices, has many advantages compared with conventional indium tin oxide(ITO). In this paper in order to investigate the possible application of ZnO:Al thin films as a transparent conducting electrode for flexible film-typed dye sensitized solar cell (FT-DSCs), ZnO:Al and ITO thin films were prepared on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate by r. f. magnetron sputtering method. Specially one-inched FT-DSCs using either a ZnO:Al or ITO electrode were also fabricated separately under the same manufacturing conditions. Some properties of both the FT-DSCs with ZnO:Al and ITO transparent electrodes, such as conversion efficiency, fill factor, and photocurrent were measured and compared with each other. The results showed that by doping the ZnO target with 2 wt% of $Al_2O_3$, the film deposited at discharge power of 200W resulted in the minimum resistivity of $2.2\times10^{-3}\Omega/cm$ and at ransmittance of 91.7%, which are comparable with those of commercially available ITO. Two types of FT-DSCs showed nearly the same tendency of I-V characteristics and the same value of conversion efficiencies. Efficiency of FT-DSCs using ZnO:Al electrode was around 2.6% and that of fabricated FT-DSCs using ITO was 2.5%. This means that ZnO:Al thin film can be used in FT-DSCs as a transparent conducting layer.

The conducting currents of polypropylene film was measured a function with electric fields at temperature of 25,35,45( C). It appears that there are four regions of conducting currents, depending upon the strength of the applied electric field` ohmic region based on ionic conduction, Poole-Frenkel region, Schottky region and negative resistance region. Several information of dielectric constant and potential barrier height were obtained.

ATO(antimony-doped tin oxide) 투명전도막을 sol-gel dip coating 방법에 의해 $SiO_2$/glass 기판 위에 성공적으로 제조하였다 ATO막의 결정상은 $SnO_2$상임을 확인하였고, 막의 두께는 withdrawal speed를 50 mm/minute로 코팅시 약 100 nm/layer였다. $SiO_2$/glass 기판 위에 코팅한 400 nm두께의 ATO 박막을 질소분위기에서 annealing한 후, 측정한 광 투과율과 전기 저항치는 각각 84%와 $5.0\times 10^{-3}\Omega \textrm{cm}$였다. 이러한 특성은 $SiO_2$막이 Na 이온의 확산을 제어하여 $Na_2SnO_3$ 및 SnO와 같은 불순물의 형성을 억제하고, 막 내부의 Sb의 농도와 $Sb^{3+}$에 대한 $Sb^{5+}$의 비를 증가시키는데 기여했기 때문으로 확인되었다. 또한, $N_2$ annealing은 $Sb^{5+}$뿐만 아니라 $Sn^{4+}$를 환원시킴으로써 전기전도도를 향상시킴을 확인하였다.

A novel non-alkoxide sol-gel process for synthesizing Ga-doped ZnO thin film on glass was derived for possible use as a transparent electrode in flat-panel displays, using zinc acetate dehydrate as the starting material. The structural and electrical properties of thin films have been characterized as functions of Ga addition and post-heat-treatments. Their carrier density, Hall mobility, and optical transmittance were measured and discussed herein to explain the characteristics of the sol-gel-derived Ga-doped ZnO thin film on glass.

In this paper, the ITO thin film, which is considered as one of the most currently used material for the high performance transparent conducting films for the PDP cell, was made in a parallel-plate, capacitively coupled DC magnetron sputtering system. Some electrical and optical properties of ITO films were investigated and discussed on the basis of glow discharge characteristics. The optimized thin film fabricating conditions of Ar gas pressure and substrate temperature were derived from the Paschen curve and glow discharge characteristics. The maximum transmittance of 89.61 % in the visible region and optical band gap of 3.89 eV and resistivity of 1.67${\times}$10$\^$-3/ $\Omega$-cm were obtained under the conditions of 300 C of substrate temperature and 10∼15 mtorr of pressure, which corresponds nearly to that of Paschen minimum.

범용 고분자 표면에 전도성 부여와 범용 고분자와 전도성 고분자층의 접합력 향상을 목적으로 폴리우레탄 (PU)-graft-poly(acrylic acid)(PAAc)/폴리아닐린(PU-g-AAc/PANI) 복합체 필름을 제조하였다. ATR-FTIR과 XPS분석 결과, 각 처리 절차에 대응하는 특성피크를 관찰하였고, 이를 통하여 각 단계의 실험이 성공적으로 수행되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 표면저항을 측정한 결과, $2{\times}10^3\;ohm/sq$으로 절연성인 폴리우레탄 필름에 전도도가 부여됨을 알 수 있었고, PU-g-AAc/PANI 필름에서 폴리아닐린에 대한 도판트 역할을 하는 아크릴산의 양이 증가할수록 표면저항은 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, commercially available polyethylene terephthalate(PET), which is widely used as a substrate of flexible electronic devices, was modified by dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) method in an air condition at atmospheric pressure, and aluminium - doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) transparent conducting film was deposited on PET substrate by r. f. magnetron sputtering method. Surface analysis and characterization of the plasma-treated PET substrate was carried out using contact angle measurements, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Especially the effect of surface state of PET substrate on some important properties of ZnO:Al transparent conducting film such as electrical and morphological properties and deposition rate of the film, was studied experimentally. The results showed that the contact angle of water on PET film was reduced significantly from $62^{\circ}$ to $43^{\circ}$ by DBD surface treatment at 20 min. of treatment time. The plasma treatment also improved the deposition rate and electrical properties. The deposition rate was increased almost linearly with surface treatment time. The lowest electrical resistivity as low as $4.97{\times}10^{-3}[\Omega-cm]$ and the highest deposition rate of 234[${\AA}m$/min] were obtained in ZnO:Al film with surface treatment time of 5min. and 20min., respectively.

ZnO transparent conducting thin film, which is a strong candidate for a transparent electrical contact in optoelectronic devices, was prepared by the vapour spraying method on the slide glass in nitrogen ambient at the atmospheric pressure. The structural, optical and electrical properties of films show a strong dependence on substrate temperature, and the optimum range of deposition temperature existed to obtain TCO(Transparent Conducting Oxide) films. At the higher temperatures, milky films were obtained. In such optimum range, the bandgap in ZnO films was determined from the spectral dependence of absorption coefficient and electrical characteristics were characterized with by the Hall mobility and carrier concentration.
