The process of manufacturing printed electronics using printing technology is attracting attention because its process cost is lower than that of the conventional semiconductor process. This technology, which offers both a lower cost and higher productivity, can be applied in the production of organic TFT (thin film transistor), solar cell, RFID(radio frequency identification) tag, printed battery, E-paper, touch screen panel, black matrix for LCD(liquid crystal display), flexible display, and so forth. In general, in order to implement printed electronics, narrow width and gap printing, registration of multi-layer printing by several printing units, and printing accuracy of under $20\;{\mu}m$ are all required. These electronic products require high precision to the degree of tens of microns - in a large area with flexible material, and mass productivity at low cost. As such, the roll-to-roll printing process is attracting attention as a mass production system for these printed electronic devices. For the commercialization of this process, two basic electronic ink technologies, such as conductive ink and polymers, and printing equipment have to be developed. Therefore, this paper addressed basis design and test to develop fine patterning equipment employing the roll-to-roll printing equipment and electronic ink.

본 연구에서는 Slot die coating 공법으로 코팅된 Poly (3-4 ethylenedioxythiophene): Poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) 박막과 비정질 ITO 박막의 전기적, 광학적, 기계적 특성을 비교 평가하여 Slot die coating 공법으로 코팅된 PEDOT:PSS 박막의 유기태양전지의 전극으로서의 적용가능성을 확인하였다. 상업용 PEDOT:PSS 박막은 보통 280 Ohm/sq.의 면저항과 가시광 영역에서 약 80%의 광투과도를 나타내며, 비정질 ITO 박막과 유사한 전기적, 광학적 특성을 나타내었다. Slot die coating 공법을 통해 제작된 PEDOT:PSS 투명 전극과 비정질 ITO 투명 전극의 기판 휘어짐에 따른 전기적 안정성을 비교 평가하기 위해 25 mm에서 1 mm까지 radius 변화에 따른 저항의 변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 비정질 ITO 투명 전극 대비 PEDOT:PSS 투명 전극이 더 우수한 전기적 안정성을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 또한, 다양한 Bending test (Inner/Outer bending, Rolling, Stretching, Twisting) 를 통해 비정질 ITO 투명 전극 보다 Slot die coating 공법으로 코팅된 PEDOT:PSS 투명 전극의 우수한 기계적 특성을 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로 Flexible 유기태양전지에의 적용 가능성을 알아보기 위해 Slot die coating 공법으로 코팅된 PEDOT:PSS 투명 전극과 비정질 ITO 투명 전극을 유기태양전지의 anode 층에 적용하여 각각 제작하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. 비정질 ITO 투명 박막을 적용한 유기태양전지 대비 Slot die coating 공법으로 코팅된 PEDOT:PSS 투명 박막으로 제작한 유기태양전지에서 더 높은 효율이 나타났으며, 이로써 Slot die coating 공법으로 코팅된 PEDOT:PSS 투명 전극의 Flexible 유기태양전지로써의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

We report on the characteristics of Zr-doped $In_2O_3$ (IZrO) films prepared by DC-RF magnetron cosputtering of $In_2O_3$ and $ZrO_2$ targets for use as a transparent electrode for high efficient organic solar cells (OSCs). The effect of $ZrO_2$ doping power on electrical, optical, structural, and surface morphology of the IZrO film was investigated in detail. At optimized $ZrO_2$ RF power of 50 W, the IZrO film exhibited a low sheet resistance of 20.71 Ohm/square, and a high optical transmittance of 83.9 %. Furthermore, the OSC with the IZrO anode showed a good cell-performance: fill factor of 61.71 %, short circuit current (Jsc) of $8.484mA/cm^2$, open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.593 V, and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.106 %. In particular, the overall OSC characteristics of the cell with the IZrO anode were comparable to those of the OSC with the conventional Sn-doped $In_2O_3$ (FF of 65.03 %, Jsc of $8.833mA/cm^2$, Voc of 0.608 V, PCE of 3.495 %), demonstrating that the IZrO anode is a promising alternative to ITO anode in OSCs.

Manufacturing of printed electronics using printing technology has begun to get into the hot issue in many ways due to the low cost effectiveness to existing semi-conductor process. This technology with both low cost and high productivity, can be applied in the production of organic thin film transistor (OTFT), solar cell, radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, printed battery, E-paper, touch screen panel, black matrix for liquid crystal display (LCD), flexible display, and so forth. The emerging technology to manufacture the products in mass production is roll-to-roll printing technology which is a manufacturing method by printings of multi-layered patterns composed of semi-conductive, dielectric and conductive layers. In contrary to the conventional printing machines in which printing precision is about $50~100{\mu}m$, the printing machines for printed electronics should have a precision under $30{\mu}m$. In general, in order to implement printed electronics, narrow width and gap printing, register of multi-layer printing by several printing units, and printing accuracy of under $30{\mu}m$ are all required. We developed the roll-to-roll printing equipment used for printed electronics, which is composed of un-winder, re-winder, tension measurement system, feeding units, dancer systems, guide unit, printing unit, vision system, dryer units, and various auxiliary devices. The equipment is designed based on cantilever type in which all rollers except printing ones have cantilever types, which could give more accurate machine precision as well as convenience for changing rollers and observing the process.
