$Mg_{2-2x}Ti_xO_2$ films were prepared by e-beam evaporation method to be used as possible substitutes for the conventional MgO protective layer. The oxygen content in the films and in turn, the ratio of metal to oxygen gradually increased with increasing the $TiO_2$ content in the starting materials. The pure MgO films exhibited the crystallinity with strong (111) orientation. The $Mg_{2-2x}Ti_xO_2$ films, however, had the crystallinity with (311) preferred orientation. When the $[TiO_2/(MgO+TiO_2)]$ ratios of 0.1 and 0.15 were used, the deposited films exhibited the secondary electron emission yields improved by 50% compared to that of the conventional MgO protective layer, which resulted in reduction in discharge voltage by 12%.

($Ti_{1-x}$ $Cr_{x}$ )N coatings were deposited by an ion-plating method in a reactor with two separate metal sources, Ti and Cr. Ti was evaporated using an electron beam, while Cr evaporation was carried out by resistant heating. The Ti and Cr concentrations in the coatings were controlled by the Ti and Cr evaporation ratio. The coating hardness increased with increasing the Cr content(x) and showed a maximum value of 6,000 HK at around x=0.8. The critical load of the coatings, measured by the scratch test, was around 30 N. The wear resistance properties of the ($Ti_{1-x}$$Cr_{ x}$)N coatings were evaluated using a CSEM pin-on-disk type tribometer. A Cr-steel ball as well as a SiC ball, which had hardness values of 590 HK and 2,600 HK respectively, were used as the pin. After the wear test, the surface morphology, roughness and the concentration of the coatings were investigated, with the main focus being on the effect of wear debris and the transferred layer on the wear behavior.

Nowadays, ZnO thin films are investigated as transparent conductive electrodes for use in optoelectronics devices including flat displays, thin films transistors, solar cells because of their unique optical and electrical properties. For the use as transparent conductive electrodes, a film has to have low resistivity, high absorption in the ultra violent light region and high optical transmission in the visible region. Different technologies such as electron beam evaporation, chemical vapor deposition, laser evaporation, DC and RF magnetron sputtering and have been reported to produce thin films of ZnO with adequate performance for applications. However, highly transparent and conductive doped-ZnO thin films deposited by a metal-organic decomposition method have not been reported before. In this work, the effect of dopant concentration, heating treatment and annealing in areducing atmosphere on the structure, morphology, electrical and optical properties of ZnO thin films deposited on glass substrates by a Sol-gel method are investigated.

다양한 이원자 무기 박막과 이들의 무기 혼합 박막들이 Ca cell 의 봉지 층으로서 전자-선 증착법에 의해 증착되었다. 이러한 Ca cell들은 대기 중에 노출되었을 때 봉지 층을 통과한 수분들이 Ca cell에 흡수되면서 시간이 지남에 따라 Ca cell들은 점진적으로 투명해진다. 이는 가시광 영역에서 Ca cell의 광투과 스펙트럼의 변화를 대기 중 노출시간의 함수로 나타낼 수 있다. Ca cell에서의 수분 흡수가 포화되는 시간 즉, 광투과 스펙트럼이 더 이상 변하지 않는 포화시간을 비교함으로써 봉지층으로 도입된 다양한 무기 박막들의 투습 방지 특성을 조사하였다. $SiO_2$에 $SnO_2$ 또는 ZnO가 첨가된 무기 복합 박막 STO($SiO_2-SnO_2$)와 SZO($SiO_2$-ZnO) 박막은 이원자 무기 박막들과 비교하여 매우 탁월한 투습 방지 효과를 보여주며, 또한 무기 박막의 수분 투과 특성에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자는 박막의 극성(polarizability)과 치밀도(packing density)임이 확인 되었다.

Plasma Display Panel(PDP)에서 보호막 물질로 사용중인 MgO 특성을 개선하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 MgO-CaO 박막을 전자빔 증착법으로 제조하였다. MgO 최대 증착속도는 1025 $\AA$/min이었으며 CaO 첨가비가 증가함에 따라 증착속도는 감소하였고, XRD 패턴은 전체적으로 낮은 2$\theta$각 방향으로 이동하였다. MgO 대한 CaO의 최대 고용도는 0.13이다. 최적전압특성을 나타낸 조성은 Mg 47.1 at%, Ca 1.3 at%, O 51.6 at%이었으며 이때 방전개시전압은 176 V, 메모리마진은 0.5였으며 증착속도는 515$\AA$/min이었다.

New photovoltaic (PV) materials and manufacturing approaches are needed for meeting the demand for lower-cost solar cells. The prototypal thin-film photovoltaic absorbers (CdTe and $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$) can achieve solar conversion efficiencies of up to 20% and are now commercially available, but the presence of toxic (Cd,Se) and expensive elemental components (In, Te) is a real issue as the demand for photovoltaics rapidly increases. To overcome these limitations, there has been substantial interest in developing viable alternative materials, such as $Cu_2ZnSnS_4$ (CZTS) is an emerging solar absorber that is structurally similar to CIGS, but contains only earth abundant, non-toxic elements and has a near optimal direct band gap energy of 1.4~1.6 ev and a large absorption coefficient of ${\sim}10^4\;cm^{-1}$. The CZTS absorber layers are grown and investigated by various fabrication methods, such as thermal evaporation, e-beam evaporation with a post sulfurization, sputtering, non-vacuum sol-gel, pulsed laser, spray-pyrolysis method and electrodeposition technique. In the present work, we report an alternative method for large area deposition of CZTS thin films that is potentially high throughput and inexpensive when used to produce monolithically integrated solar panel modules. Specifically, we have developed an aqueous chemical approach based on chemical bath deposition (CBD) with a subsequent sulfurization heat treatment. Samples produced by our method were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, absorbance and photoluminescence. The results show that this inexpensive and relatively benign process produces thin films of CZTS exhibiting uniform composition, kesterite crystal structure, and good optical properties. A preliminary solar cell device was fabricated to demonstrate rectifying and photovoltaic behavior.

본 연구에서는 e-beam evaporator를 사용하여 제조한 CoCrTa/CrNi 박막시편의 자성층 두께에 따른 부식특성과 열처리에 따른 부식특성의 변화를 알아보았다. Potentiodynamic scan을 이용하여 알아본 결과, 자성층 두께가 증가함에 따라 부식전위가 낮아지고, 부동태 전류밀도가 감소함을 알 수 있었다. XRD를 이용한 분석결과에 따르면, 이것은 자성층 두께가 증가함에 따라 (100)면보다 수소과전압이 큰 (0002)면으로 우선 성장했기 때문이다. 열처리에 따른 CoCrTa(400$\AA$) 자성박막의 부식특성 변화를 potentiodynamic scan과 accelerated corrosion chamber test를 이용하여 알아본 결과, 열처리후 박막시편의 내부식성이 우수해짐을 알 수 있었다. 이것은 열처리에 의해 자성층위에 Cr 산화물층이 형성되고, 이 산화물층이 자성층의 보호막으로 작용했기 때문이다.

The influences of the thickness and microstructure of Fe layer on the electrochemical performances of Fe/Si multilayer thin film anodes were investigated. The Fe/Si multilayer films were prepared by electron beam evaporation, in which Fe layer was deposited with/without simultaneous bombardment of Ar ion. The kinetics of Li insertion/extraction reactions in the early stage are slowed down with increasing the thickness of Fe layer, but such a slowdown seems to be negligible for thin Fe layers less than about $500{\AA}$. When the Fe layer was deposited with ion bombardment, even the $300{\AA}$ thick Fe layer significantly suppress Li diffusion through the Fe layer. This is attributed to the dense microstructure of Fe layer, induced by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD). It appears that the Fe/Si multilayer films prepared with IBAD show good cyclability compared to the film deposited without IBAD.
