본 연구에서는 수직형 LPE 장치를 이용하여 meltback 방법으로 제작된 PBH-LD에 대한 누설전류를 해석하였다. PBH-LD에서 활성층 이외의 p-n 다이오드와 p-n-p-n 전류차단층과 같은 누설경로에 따른 이들의 영향을 조사하였다. 이러한 누설전류의 영향을 알아보기 위해 누설 폭이 "0" 일 때와 누설 폭이 $W_{ι}$ 일 때를 비교하였다. 그 결과 누설 폭에 따른 임계전류는 누설 폭을 줄이거나, 고유저항 ($\rho$$_{ι}$$\rho$$_{a}$ )비를 증가시켜줌으로써 임계전류가 낮아짐을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제작된 LD의 경우 활성층의 폭 $W_{a}$ 가 약 1.4$\mu\textrm{m}$이고 누설 폭이 약 0.6$\mu\textrm{m}$로, 제작된 LD의 cavity length와 임계전류를 비교해 본 결과 고유저항비가 약 0.5일 때 누설 폭에 따른 계산된 임계전류값과 실제 제작된 PBH-LD의 임계전류값이 일치함을 확인하였다. 따라서, 제작된 PBH-LD의 p-InP 차단층의 도핑농도를 $10^{18}$ c $m_{-3}$ 에서 $10^{17}$ $cm^{-3}$으로 줄여 누설영역의 저항을 크게 함으로써 누설전류를 더 줄일 수 있으리라 생각된다.다.

Parylene coating was adopted on CdZnTe (CZT) detector as a mechanical protection layer after wet passivation with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and ammonium fluoride (NH₄F). Wet chemical passivant lose their effectiveness when exposed to the ambient conditions for a long time. Parylene coating could protect the effectiveness of passivation, by mechanically blocking the exposure to the ambient conditions. Stability of CZT detector was tested with the measurement of leakage current density and response to radio-isotopes. When the enough thickness of parylene (>100 ㎛) is adopted, parylene is a promising protection layer thereby ensuring the performance and long-term stability of CZT detectors.

기존 DSSC의 상대전극을 TCO-less로 하여 도전성과 촉매기능을 동시에 가지고 있는 Pd의 안정성 확인을 위해 열증착기를 채용하여 유리기판 전면에 Pd를 90nm 두께로 증착하고 전해질과의 반응 안정성을 확인하였다. $0.45cm^2$급 면적을 가진 glass/FTO/blocking layer/$TiO_2$/dye/electrolyte(10 mM LiI + 1 mM $I_2$ + 0.1 M $LiClO_4$ in acetonitrile solution)/Pd/glass 구조의 DSSC 소자를 만들고, 시편제작 1시간, 12시간 후의 변화를 육안분석, 광학현미경과 FESEM을 이용하여 미세구조 분석을 진행하고, 전기적 분석은 각각 C-V(cyclic voltammetry measurements), I-V(current voltage) 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 미세구조 분석을 통하여 시간이 지남에 따라 확연히 Pd과 전해질이 반응하여 부식되는 것을 확인하였고, 전기적으로도 시간이 지남에 따라 촉매활동도와 효율이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 최종 효율은 1시간 후에는 0.34%의 광전효율을 보였으나 12시간 후에는 0.15%를 나타내어 약 44%로 감소하였다. 따라서 염료감응태양전지에 Pd촉매를 채용하기 위해 $I^-/I_3{^-}$ 전해질이 아닌 다른 전해질을 사용하거나 Pd 전극이 아닌 다른 촉매재를 사용해야 함을 확인하였다.

High-efficiency phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes using TCTA-TAZ as a double host and $Ir(ppy)_3$ as a dopant were fabricated and their electro-luminescence properties were evaluated. The fabricated devices have the multi-layered organic structure of 2-TNATA/NPB/(TCTA-TAZ) : $Ir(ppy)_3$/BCP/SFC137 between an anode of ITO and a cathode of LiF/AL. In the device structure, 2-TNATA[4,4',4"-tris(2-naphthylphenyl-phenylamino)-triphenylamine] and NPB[N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine] were used as a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer, respectively. BCP [2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline] was introduced as a hole blocking layer and an electron transport layer, respectively. TCTA [4,4',4"-tris(N-carbazolyl)-triphenylamine] and TAZ [3-phenyl-4-(1-naphthyl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole] were sequentially deposited, forming a double host doped with $Ir(ppy)_3$ in the [TCTA-TAZ] : $Ir(ppy)_3$ region. Among devices with different thickness combinations of TCTA ($50\;{\AA}-200\;{\AA}$) and TAZ ($100\;{\AA}-250\;{\AA}$) within the confines of the total host thickness of $300\;{\AA}$ and an $Ir(ppy)_3$-doping concentration of 7%, the best electroluminescence characteristics were obtained in a device with $100\;{\AA}$-think TCTA and $200\;{\AA}$-thick TAZ. The $Ir(ppy)_3$ concentration in the doping range of 4%-10% in devices with an emissive layer of [TCTA ($100\;{\AA}$)-TAZ ($200\;{\AA}$)] : $Ir(ppy)_3$ gave rise to little difference in the luminance and current efficiency.

In this letter, we propose a new RESURF stepped oxide (RSO) process to make a semi-superjunction (semi-SJ) trench double-diffused MOSFET (TDMOS). In this new process, the thick single insulation layer ($SiO_2$) of a conventional device is replaced by a multilayered insulator ($SiO_2/SiN_x/TEOS$) to improve the process and electrical properties. To compare the electrical properties of the conventional RSO TDMOS to those of the proposed TDMOS, that is, the nitride_RSO TDMOS, simulation studies are performed using a TCAD simulator. The nitride_RSO TDMOS has superior properties compared to those of the RSO TDMOS, in terms of drain current and on-resistance, owing to a high nitride permittivity. Moreover, variations in the electrical properties of the nitride_RSO TDMOS are investigated using various devices, pitch sizes, and thicknesses of the insulator. Along with an increase of the device pitch size and the thickness of the insulator, the breakdown voltage slowly improves due to a vertical field plate effect; however, the drain current and on-resistance degenerate, owing to a shrinking of the drift width. The nitride_RSO TDMOS is successfully fabricated, and the blocking voltage and specific on-resistance are 108 V and $1.1m{\Omega}cm^2$, respectively.

Owing to many advantages on indirect intersubband absorption from the hole miniband to the electron miniband based on the type-II band alignment in InAs/GaSb strained-layer superlattice (SLS), InAs/GaSb SLS infrared photodetector (SLIP) has emerged as a promising system to realize high-detectivity quantum photodetector operating up to room temperature in the spectral range of mid-infrared (MIR) to far-infrared (FIR). In particular, n-barrier-n (n-B-n) structure designed for blocking the majority-carrier dark current makes it possible for MIR/FIR dual-band SLIP whose photoresponse (PR) band can be exclusively selected by the bias polarity. In this study, we present the MIR and FIR photoresponse (PR) mechanism identified by dual-band PR spectra and photoluminescence (PL) profiles taken from InAs/GaSb SLIP. In the MIR/FIR PR spectra measured by changing bias polarity, each spectrum individually shows a series of distinctive peaks related to the transitions from the hole subbands to the conduction one. The PR mechanism at each polarity is discussed in terms of diffusion current, and a superposition of MIR-PR in the FIR-PR spectrum is explained by tunnelling of electrons activated in MIR-SLS. The effective FIR-PR spectrum decomposed into three curves for HH1, LH1, and HH2 has revealed the edge energies of 120, 170, and 220 meV, respectively, and the temperature variation of the MIR-PR edge energies shows that the temperature behavior of the SLS systems can be approximately expressed by the Varshni empirical equation.

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have attracted significant interest in an interdisciplinary research field for the decades as a next-generation photovoltaic device due to their unique advantages. One of requirements for OPVs having high power conversion efficiency is the favorable energy level alignment between the electrode/organic and organic/organic interfaces to manage the exciton dissociation and improve the charge transport. In this review, strategies to enhance the OPV performance by controlling the energy level alignment are discussed. The insertion of an exciton blocking layer leads to the efficient dissociation of photogenerated excitons at the donor/acceptor interface enhancing the short-circuit current density. The choice of a donor having a high ionization energy and an acceptor having a low electron affinity increases the open-circuit voltage. The insertion of an appropriate work function modifier which reduces the charge injection barrier removes the S-kink in current density-voltage characteristics of OPVs and improves the fill factor. This review would give a valuable guide to design the efficient OPV structure.

In this work, the $TiO_2$ and $SnO_2$ thin films as blocking layers were coated directly onto the metal-mesh electrode surface to prevent unnecessary inflow of back-transfer electrons from the electrolyte ($I^-/I_3^-$) to the metal-mesh electrode. The DSCs were fabricated with working electrode of SUS mesh coated with blocking $TiO_2$ and $SnO_2$ layers, dye-attached mesoporous $TiO_2$ film, gel electrolyte and counter electrode of Pt-deposited F:$SnO_2$. From the experimental result, it was ascertained that the efficiency of metal electrode coated with $TiO_2$ by Dip-coating was superior to that of metal electrode coated with $SnO_2$ by Dip-coating and screen printing with the results of experiments. The photo-current conversion efficiency of the cell obtained from optimum fabrication condition was 3% ($V_{oc}$=0.61V, $J_{sc}$=11.64 mA/$cm^2$, ff=0.64) under AM1.5, 100 mW/$cm^2$ illumination.

The $TiO_2$/ZnS/Ag/ZnS/$TiO_2$ multilayered structure for the transparent electrodes in plasma display panel was designed by essential macleod program (EMP) and the multilayered film was deposited on a glass substrate by direct-current (DC)/radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering system. During film deposition process, the Ag layer in $TiO_2$/Ag/$TiO_2$ structure became oxidized and the filter characteristic was degraded easily. In this study, ZnS layer was adopted as a diffusion blocking layer between $TiO_2$ and Ag to prevent the oxidation of Ag layer efficiently in $TiO_2$/ZnS/Ag/ZnS/$TiO_2$ structure. Based on the AES depth profiling analysis, the Ag layer was effectively protected by the ZnS layer as compared with the $TiO_2$/Ag/$TiO_2$ multilayered films without ZnS as an antioxidant layer. The 3 times stacked $TiO_2$/ZnS/Ag/ZnS/$TiO_2$ films have low sheet resistance of $1.22{\Omega}/{\square}$ and luminous transmittance was as high as 62% in the visible ranges.
