본 연구에서는 열벽성장법에 의해 ZnSe 에피막을 GaAs 기판에 성장하고 double crystal x-ray diffractometer와 Photoluminescence (PL) 등의 장치를 이용하여 구조족, 광학 적 특성을 연구하였다. x-선 반치폭과 PL피크강도로부터 최적의 기판온도가 34$0^{\circ}C$임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 기판온도, 열벽부온도, 원료부온도, 성장시간등의 성장조건이 표면거칠기 성 장률, x-선 반치폭, PL 피크강도 등에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴보았다. 최적 성장조건하 에성장된 ZnSe 에피막의 x-선 반치폭은 149sec로 나타났는데 이는 HWE 성장법으로 성장 된 ZnSe 에피막에 대하여 보고된 수치 중 가장낮은 값이다. PL 스펙트럼에서 I2 피크와 DAP 피크의 강도는 높고, SA 피크의 강도는 낮다는 사실로부터 본 연구에서 성장된 ZnSe 에피막의 결정질이 매우 우수함을 확인하였다.

Nanoparticles of the compound semiconductor, Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS), were synthesized in solution under ambient pressure below $100^{\circ}C$ and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical absorption spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses. These materials have chalcopyrite crystal structures and the particle sizes less than 100 nm. Synthetic conditions were studied for the crystallized CIGS nanoparticles formation to prevent from side products of Cu2Se, Cu2-xSe, and CuSe etc. The single phase CIGS nanoparticles were applied to coating of thin films photovoltaic cells. The electro deposition of CIGS thin films is also a good non-vacuum technology and under investigation. In aqueous solutions, the different chemical compositions of CIGS thin films were obtained, depending on pH, concentration of starting materials and deposition potentials. The surface morphology of the prepared CIGS thin films depends on the complexing ligands to the solutions during the electrochemical deposition.

We applied KF on CIGS film to modify CIGS surface with a wider-bandgap surface layer. With the KF deposition the surface of CIGS film had fine particle on the CIGS surface at 350 and $300^{\circ}C$. No fine particle was detected at 500 and $250^{\circ}C$. With the KF treatment, the Ga and O content increased at the surface, while the In and Cu content decreased. The valence band maximum was lowered with KF treatment. The composition profile and band structure were positive side of applying KF on the CIGS surface. However, the efficiency decreased with the KF treatment due to high series resistance, probably due to too thick surface layer. A smaller amount of KF should be supplied and more systematic analysis is necessary to obtain a reproducible higher efficiency CIGS solar cells.

Cu(InGa)$Se_2$(CIGS) thin film absorbers with various Cu/(In+Ga) atomic ratios were prepared by a three-stage process using a co-evaporation appartus. The effect of Na on the structural and electrical properties of CIGS films were studied and their effects on the CIGS/Mo thin film solar cells were investigated. Soda-lime glass and Corning glass were used as substrates to compare the effect of Na diffusion into CIGS film. The resistivity of CIGS films was not changed in the Cu-poor lesion due to diffusion of Na from soda-lime glass but was mainly determined by the surface resistivity controlled by excess Na.

Effect of garlic on cholesterol and selenium (Se) levels, and fatty acid composition in the broiler chicks (Indian River) fed diet containing 0, 2, 4, 6, and 10% lyophilized garlic powder (GA) for 6 weeks were determined. Supplementation of garlic powder significantly decreased cholesterol level in broiler compared to the control (p<0.05). Se levels were not significantly different (p>0.05) among treatment groups. Percentages of $C_{16:0}$ and $C_{18:1}$ were gradually decreased ($C_{16:0}$;20.62% of total fatty acid in the control to 17.71 % in 10% GA; $C_{18:1}$;34.08% in the control to 30.71 % in 10% GA), while that of $C_{18:2}$ was increased from 28.69% in the control to 35.89% of 10% GA diet (p<0.0l). These results demonstrate some active components of garlic reduce cholesterol level and affect fatty acid metabolism.

Evaluation of def3ects by etch-ppit formation was studied. A NaOH(30 mol%) etchant was found useful for etch-ppit developpment on ZnSe-based eppilayers grown on (001) gaAs. And a H3ppO4(85 mol%) was used in order to developp etch-ppits on GaN-base eppilayers grown on (0001) Al2O3 After etch-ppit formation on the surfsce. Transmission Electron Microscoppy(TEM) was cppmdicted. By etch-ppit developpment and TEM observation we could determine the defect typpes by etch-ppit configurfations and found origin of etch-ppit in the cse of ZnSe-based materials. Based uppon these results we can do defect identification by etch-ppit test simpply. In the case of GaN-based materials we could evaluate nanoppippe density. however high density of threading dislocations in GaN eppilayers were not revealed by etch-ppit developpment. Based uppon these results we can evaluate the nanoppippe density which difficult to evaluate using TEM beacause of its small size(diameter). And at ppresent status direct matching of etch-ppit density to dislocation density would make severe mistake.

The construction and the performance test of an ultra high vacuum (UHV) molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system has been completed successfully.

Cu(In, Ga)$Se_2$ (CIGS), $CuInS_2$ (CIS) 등의 Se, S계 화합물 박막 소재를 활용한 태양전지는 높은 광흡수 계수, 상대적으로 높은 효율, 화학적 안정성, 도시적인 미관 등으로 인하여 최근 부각되고 있다. 하지만 CIGS, CIS 등의 Se, S계 박막 소재는 상대적으로 매장량이 적은(희유 원소) In, Ga을 사용하고 있는 약점이 있으며 특히 In의 경우는 LCD Display에 사용되는 ITO 필름으로 인해 가격이 상승하고 있다. 따라서 결정질 실리콘 태양전지의 경험에서와 같이 생산량의 급증에서 기인하는 소재 부족 문제를 미연에 방지하고 안정적인 성장을 이루기 위해서는 희유 원소인 In과 Ga을 저가 범용원소로 대체 하는 기술을 추가적으로 개발해야 한다. $Cu_2ZnSnS_4$ (CZTS) 박막 태양전지는 Se, S계 태양전지에서 III 족 원소인 In, Ga을 II-IV 원소인 Zn와 Sn으로 대체하는 기술로 기존의 CIGS계 태양전지가 보유하고 있는 장점을 유지하면서 저가 태양전지를 구현할 수 있는 대체 물질로 최근 많은 관심을 받고 있다. CZTS 박막 태양전지 관련 세계 기술동향 조사에 따르면, 최근 2008년에 일본 Nagaoka 대학의 Katagiri 그룹에서 스퍼터를 이용하여 제조한 CZTS 박막 태양전지의 최고 효율이 6.77%가 됨을 보고하였고, 2010년 초에는 IBM에서 스핀코팅법을 이용하여 제조한 CZT(S, Se) 박막 태양전지의 효율을 9.66%까지 올릴 수 있음을 Advanced Materials에 보고하였다. 본 발표에서는 우선 CZTS 박막태양전지 제조 및 특성 분석 관련 개요 및 세계 기술 개발 동향 분석 결과를 설명할 것이다. 또한 본 실험실, 에너지 기술 연구원 및 KIST, 영남대 등 국내에서 진행되고 있는 CZTS 관련 기술 개발 현황에 대하여 설명할 것이다.

Cu계$I-III-VI_2$화합물은 직접천이형 반도체로 광흡수계수가 매우 높아 박막형 태양전지 제조에 매우 유리하다 또한 화학적으로 안정하며 Ga, A1등을 첨가하면 에너지 금지대폭을 조절할 수 있어 Wide Bandgap 태양전지 및 탠덤구조 태양전지를 제조하기에도 용이하다. $CuInSe_2(CIS)$ 물질에서 In을 $20-30\%$ 정도 치환한 $Cu(In,\;Ga)Se_2(CIGS)$ 태양전지의 경우 $19.5\%$의 세계 최고 효율을 보고하고 있으며 이는 다결정 실리콘 태양전지의 효율과 비슷한 수준이다. 본 연구에서는 동시 진공증발법을 이용하여 증착한 CIGS 박막 및 $CuGaSe_2(CGS)$ 박막을 이용하여 태양전지를 제조하였다. 공정의 재현성 및 결정립계가 큰 광흡수층 제조를 위하여 실시간 기판 온도 모니터링 시스템을 도입하였으며 버퍼층으로는 용액성장한 CdS 박막을 사용하였다. SLG/MO/CIGS(CGS)/CdS/ZnO/Al구조의 태양전지를 제조하여 면적 $0.5cm^2$에서 각각 $15\%$(CIGS)와 $7\%(CGS)$의 효율을 얻었다.
