This paper reports the resistance change of conductive carbon nanotube (CNT) thin-films according to the temperature variation. Resistance of conductive CNT thin-films intrinsically has good thermal sensitivity, but shows environmental dependency. In order to reduce environmental effects, we spin-coated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) on the conductive CNT thin-films. We observed that conductive CNT thin-films with a PDMS encapsulation layer showed little environmental dependency, but more linear and stable temperature dependencies. If proper encapsulation is provided, conductive CNT thin-films can be used for temperature sensor applications.

Quality of PEDOT electrode thin film vapor phase-polymerized on 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) is very crucial for making an ohmic contact between electrode and semiconductor layer of an organic transistor. In order to improve the quality of PEDOT film, the quality of APS-SAM laying underneath the film must be in the best condition. In this study, in order to improve the quality of APS-SAM, the monolayer was self-assembled on $SiO_2$ surface by a dip-coating method under strictly controlled relative humidity (< 18%RH). The quality of APS-SAM and PEDOT thin film were investigated with a contact angle analyzer, AFM, FE-SEM, and four-point probe. The investigation showed that a PEDOT film grown on the humidity-controlled SAM is very smooth and compact (sheet resistivity = 20.2 Ohm/sq) while a film grown under the uncontrolled condition is nearly amorphous and contains quite many pores (sheet resistivity = 200 Ohm/sq). Therefore, this study clearly proves that a highly improved quality of APSSAM can offer a highly conductive PEDOT electrode thin film on it.

It has increased several decades in the field of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) transparent thin film, However, a major problem with this ITO thin film application is high cost compared with other transparent thin film materials[1]. So far, in order to overcome this disadvantage, we show that a transparent ITO/Ag/i-ZnO multilayer thin film electrode would be more cost-effective and it has not only highly transparent but also conductive properties. The aim of this research has therefore been to try and establish how ITO/Ag/i-ZnO multilayer thin film would be more effective than ITO thin film. Herein, we report the properties of ITO/Ag/i-ZnO multilayer thin film by using optical spectroscopic method and measuring sheet resistance. At a certain total thickness of thin film, sheet resistance of ITO/Ag/i-ZnO multilayer was drastically decreased than ITO layer approximately $40{\Omega}/{\Box}$ at same visible light transmittance. (minimal point $5.2{\Omega}/{\Box}$). Tendency, which shows lowly sheet resistive in a certain transmittance, has been observed, hence, it should be suitable for transparent electrode device.

본 논문은 로이유리(Low emissivity glass) 표면에 증착되어 있는 금속박막의 전도 특성을 이용하여 발열유리(Heatable glass)를 제작하는 방법에 대해 제안한다. 로이유리의 발열량은 로이유리 표면저항에 의한 주울(Joule) 열에 의존하므로 소재의 표면저항을 측정함으로써 예측 및 설계가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 저방사층이 11nm인 소프트로이유리 시료에 각 50mm 간격으로 은(Ag) 전극을 형성시키고, 4단자법으로 면저항을 측정하여 로이유리의 소비전력과 발열량을 예측한 후에, 제작 및 실험을 통해 발열성능을 확인하였다. 기존의 발열유리 제작방법은 크게 두 가지로 일반유리(Normal glass)에 니크롬(Nichrome) 열선을 삽입하는 방법과, 일반유리에 전도성 투명박막을 증착하는 방법이 있다. 니크롬 열선 삽입 방식은 발열성능은 우수하나 유리 고유의 투명성을 저해하고, 전도성 투명박막을 증착하는 방법은 투명성은 양호하나 공정이 복잡하여 실용성이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 주로 건축물의 단열효과 향상을 위해 사용되는 로이유리를 이용하여 로이유리 전면에 코팅되어 있는 전도성 금속박막에 레이저 빔을 조사하여 원하는 발열성능을 가지는 발열유리를 제작하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 니크롬 열선을 삽입하는 방법에 비해 투명성이 양호하고, 전도성 투명박막을 증착하는 방법에 비해 제작과정이 보다 수월함을 확인하였다. 아울러, 레이저를 조사하여 로이유리의 표면 박막을 패터닝(Patterning) 하는 형태에 따른 발열특성의 비교와 로이유리에 적합한 레이저 출력조건을 제시하고자 한다.

Various materials including conductive, dielectric, and semi-conductive materials, constitute suitable candidates for printed electronics. Metal nanoparticles (e.g. Ag, Cu, Ni, Au) are typically used in conductive ink. However, easily oxidized metals, such as Cu, must be processed at low temperatures and as such, photonic sintering has gained significant attention as a new low-temperature processing method. This method is based on the principle of selective heating of a strongly absorbent film, without light-source-induced damage to the transparent substrate. However, Cu nanoparticles used in inks are susceptible to the growth of a native copper-oxide layer on their surface. Copper-oxide-nanoparticle ink subjected to a reduction mechanism has therefore been introduced in an attempt to achieve long-term stability and reliability. In this work, a flash-light sintering process was used for the reduction of an inkjet-printed Cu(II)O thin film to a Cu film. Using a photographic lighting instrument, the intensity of the light (or intense pulse light) was controlled by the charged power (Ws). The resulting changes in the structure, as well as the optical and electrical properties of the light-irradiated Cu(II)O films, were investigated. A Cu thin film was obtained from Cu(II)O via photo-thermal reduction at 2500 Ws. More importantly, at one shot of 3000 Ws, a low sheet resistance value ($0.2527{\Omega}/sq.$) and a high resistivity (${\sim}5.05-6.32{\times}10^{-8}{\Omega}m$), which was ~3.0-3.8 times that of bulk Cu was achieved for the ~200-250-nm-thick film.

According the difference of flex substrate, (reel tape), there are three kind assembly types of LCD driver IC is COG, TCP and COF, respectively. The TCP is the maturest in these types for stability of raw material supply and other specification. And TCP is the major assembly type of LCD driver IC and the huge demand from Taiwan's large TFT LCD panel house since this spring. But due to its package structure and the raw material applied in this package, there is some limitation in fine pitch application of this package type, (TCP). So, COF will be very potential in compact and portable application comparison with TCP in the future. There are three kinds assembly methods in COF, one is ACF by using the anisotropic conductive film to connect the copper lead of tape and gold bump of IC, another is eutectic bonding by using the thermo-pressure to joint the copper lead of tape and gold bump of IC, and last is NCP by using non-conductive paste to adhere the copper lead of tape and gold bump of IC. To have a global realization, this paper will briefly review the status of Taiwan's large TFT panel house, the internal driver IC design house, and the back-end assembly house in the beginning. The different material property of raw material, PI tape is also compared in the paper. The more detail of three kinds of COF assembly method will be described and compared in this paper.

The thin film that is electrically conductive and optically transparent is called conductive transparent thin film. ITO(Indium-Tin Oxide) which is a kind of conductive transparent thin film has been widely used in solar cell, transparent electrical heater, selective optical filter, FDP(Flat Display Panel) such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), PDP(Plasma Display Panel) and so on. Especially in PDP, ITO films is used as a transparent electrode in order to maintain discharge and decrease consumption power through the improvement of cell structure. In this study, we prepared ITO by reactive r.f. sputtering with indium-tin(Sn wt 10%) alloy target instead of indium-tin oxide target. The ITO films deposited at low temperature $150^{\circ}C$ and 8% $O_2$ partial pressure showed about $3.6{\Omega}/{\square}$. At the end of firing, the resistance of ITO was decreased, the optical transparence was improved above 90%.

In this study, we analyzed the correlation between mechanical and electrical properties of low-temperature conductive film (LT-CF) bonded silicon solar cells by a quadrant analysis (horizontal axis (peeling strength), vertical axis (power loss)). We found that a series of points with various bonding parameters such as bonding temperature, pressure and time were distributed in the different three regimes; weak regime (Q2: weak bonding strength and high power loss), moderate regime (Q4 : strong bonding strength and low power loss) and hard regime (Q3 : weak bonding strength and low power loss). Using this analogous technique, it was possible to fabricate the LT-CF bonded silicon solar cells with the various conditions displayed in Q3 of the quadrant plots, possessing the peeling strength of ~ 1N/mm and power loss of 2~3%.
