The multi-layer PET film of ITO/ATO was prepared by a wet coating method to obtain the transparent film with a high conductance at low cost. ITO nano-particles were synthesized by a SAS method at 15 MPa and $50^{\circ}C$, where optimized rate of In/Sn was 65. Average diameter and resistivity of ITO obtained from SAS are $15{\pm}2nm$ and $4{\times}10^4{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. Coating solution was prepared at pH 10. Roughness (Ra), resistivity, and transmissivity of ATO film on PET are 9 nm, $5.5{\times}10^6{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, and 91%. The multi-layered film of ITO/ATO was obtained by solution including 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 ITO wt% on ATO layer. Roughness (Ra) of multi-layered film with 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 ITO wt% is 4, 10, 12, and 16 nm, respectively. Corresponding resistivity with an increasing ITO concentration is $3.7{\times}10^6$, $2.4{\times}10^6$, $8{\times}10^5$, and $2{\times}10^5{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. Transmissivity of ITO/ATO film decreases as 89, 88, 86, and 82% with an increasing ITO concentration as 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 wt%.

ITO(Indium Tin Oxide)는 전도도와 투과도 특성이 뛰어나 디스플레이, 태양전지, LED 등 여러 산업에서 전극 물질로 널리 사용 되어져 왔다. 최근 ITO의 사용이 급격히 증가하면서 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. ITO는 막의 특성을 좋게 하기 위하여 증착 시 Ar gas와 함께 $O_2$가스를 첨가하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 산소 분압에 따른 ITO 박막의 전기적, 광학적 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. Corning사의 eagle 2000 glass 기판위에 스퍼터링을 이용하여 ITO layer를 증측하였고, 증착시, $O_2$ partial pressure를 0 - 0.5%까지 0.1% 간격으로 가변하였다. 증착된 샘플은 Sinton사의 UV-vis 장비를 이용하여 광학적 특성을 측정하였고, Hall measurement 장비를 이용하여 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. ITO 박막은 $O_2$의 partial pressure가 증가할수록 향상된 전기적, 광학적 특성을 나타내었다.

We investigated the effect of oxygen plasma treatment of indium-tin oxide(ITO) surface on the performance of electroluminescence(EL) devices. ITO surface treated oxygen plasma has been analyzed using atomic force microscope(AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), to investigate the relations between the properties of the ITO surface and the properties of the current-voltage-luminance(I-V-L) characteristics of the fabricated OLED with the structure of ITO(plasma treatment) / TPD / Alq$_3$/ Al. It is found that the oxygen plasma treatment of ITO anode improve the hole injection of the OLED due to the modification of the surface states. The treated ITO anode nay be low voltage with high luminance efficiency.

Ordered array of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) over ITO glass was investigated in terms of ITO pretreatment, particle size, and diamines with different chain length. Owing to the indium-tin-oxide (ITO) layer coated on the glass, the substrate surface has a limited number of hydroxyl groups which can produce functionalized amine groups for Au binding, which resulted in the loosely-packed array of Au NPs on the ITO surface. Diamine ligand as a molecular linker was introduced to enhance the lateral binding of adjacent Au NPs immobilized on the amine-functionalized ITO glass, consequently leading to the densely-packed array of Au NPs over the ITO substrate. The molecular bridging effect was strengthened with the increase of chain length of diamines: C-12 > C-8. The packing density of small Au NPs (< 40 nm) was significantly increased with the increase of C-8 diamine, but large Au NPs (> 60 nm) did not produce densely-packed array on the ITO glass even for the dosage of C-12 diamine.

This study examines modernist grid and boundary in the works of Toyo Ito - two of the most important notions characterizing the development of Toyo Ito as an iconoclast architect. Early in his career, Ito recognized modernist architecture's inherent tendencies to establish homogenous order and divide space by function was alienating people from their context. Ito identified the notions of modernist grid and boundary as the agents of Modernism which inadvertently served to impose this systematic order and severe separation. As a reaction against these tendencies, Ito sought to avoid the use of modernist grid and blur boundary in his architecture. In Ito's career spanning over four decades, he engages in an exhaustive inquiry seeking to modify these two core elements of architecture. This study investigates these two notions in Ito's works and examines the significance of the architect's exploration in the context of Japan's Modernism.

ITO (indium tin oxide) thin films on PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and glass substrates have been deposited by a dc magnetron sputtering without heat treatments such as substrate heater and post heat treatment. Each sputtering parameter during the sputtering deposition is an important factor for the high quality of ITO thin films deposited on polymeric substrate. Particularly, the material, electrical and optical properties of as-deposited ITO oxide films are dominated by sputtering power, oxygen partial pressure and films thickness. As the experimental results, the XRD patters of ITO films are influenced by sputtering power and pressure. As the power and pressure are increased, (411) peak is grown suddenly. the electrical resistivity is also increased, as the sputteing power and pressure are increased. Transmittance of ITO thin films in visible light ranges is lowered with increasing the sputtering power and film thickness. Reflectance of ITO films in infia-red region is decreased, as the power and pressure is increased.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films have been deposited on PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and glass substrates by a do magnetron sputter method of powder target without heat treatments such as substrate heater and post heat treatment. During the sputtering deposition, sputtering parameters such as sputtering power, working pressure, oxygen gas mixture, film thickness and substrate-target distance are important factors for the high quality of ITO thin films. The structural, electrical and optical properties of as-deposited ITO oxide films are investigated by sputtering power, oxygen partial pressure and films thickness among the several sputtering conditions. XRD patterns of ITO films are affected by sputtering power and pressure. As the power and pressure are increased, (411) and (422) peaks of ITO films are grown strongly. Electrical resistivity is also increased, as the sputtering power and pressure are increased. Transmittance of ITO thin films in the visible light ranges is lowered with an increase of sputtering power and film thickness. Reflectance of ITO films in infra-red region is decreased, as the power and pressure is increased.

In this study, we investigated the oxygen partial pressure effect of ITO films for electrodes of oxide-based Thin-Film Transistor (TFT). Firstly, we deposited single ITO films on the glass substrate at room temperature. ITO films were prepared at the various partial pressures of oxygen gas 0-7.4% (O₂/(Ar+O₂)). As increasing oxygen on the process of film deposition, electrical properties were improved and optical transmittance increased in the visible light range (300-800 nm). For the electrode of TFT, we fabricated a TFT device (W/L=1000/200 ㎛) with ITO films as the source and drain electrode on the silicon wafer. Except for the TFT device combined with ITO film prepared at the oxygen partial pressure ratio of 7.4%, We confirmed that TFT devices with ITO films via FTS system operated as a driving device at threshold voltage (V_th) of 4V.

본 연구에서는 ITO 표면 개질에 의한 유기 발광 소자의 특성 변화에 대해서 연구하였다. ITO 전극은 발광 소자의 투명 전극으로 널리 사용되고 있으며 이러한 발광 소자의 특성은 ITO의 표면 상태에 따라 민감하게 반응한다. ITO 표면 개질은 ITO와 유기물 사이의 쇼트기 장벽을 감소시키며, 전극과 유기물의 점착을 향상시켜 준다. 본 실험에서는 습식 처리 방식으로 self-assembled monolayer(SAM)을 사용하였다. 유기 발광 소자의 특성은 SAM 처리에 의해 향상 되었다. 유기 발광 소자는 ITO/SAM/TPD(50nm)/$Alq_3$(70nm)/LiF(0.5nm)/Al(100nm)의 구조로 제작하였으며, ITO의 표면 특성은 일반적인 특성 기술에 의해 연구되었다. SAM 처리된 소자는 SAM 처리하지 않은 소자에 비해 구동 전압, 발광 세기, 외부 양자 효율 등이 향상되었다. ITO의 SAM 처리 시간을 0/10/15/20/25분으로 하여 소자를 제작하였다. 15분간 SAM 처리한 소자는 SAM 처리하지 않은 소자에 비해 외부 양자 효율과 전류 효율이 2.6배 상승하였다. 본 실험을 통하여 ITO 표면 위에 SAM층을 삽입한 걸과, 구동 전압, 발광 세기, 효율 등이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

플렉서블 디스플레이 및 태양전지가 지향하고 있는 저가, 고속의 대량 생산을 위해서는 필름을 기반으로 하는 연속 공정에 의한 대량의 ITO 박막의 증착이 필수적이다. 이로 인해 롤투롤(roll-to-roll) 스퍼터링법을 이용한 ITO 박막의 연속 증착 공정이 차세대 플렉서블 디스플레이 및 태양전지의 대량 생산을 위한 해결책으로 각광받고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 폴리머 필름의 경우 증착 시 발생되는 열 또는 플라즈마에 의해 방출되는 수분과 유기 솔벤트 같은 오염 물질들에 의한 ITO 박막의 특성 저하와, 낮은 열적 안정성을 가지는 기판 특성상 고온(>$200^{\circ}C$)에서 증착이나 후 열처리를 할 수가 없기 때문에, 낮은 저항과 높은 광투과도 특성을 가지는 ITO 필름을 제작하기 위한 공정 최적화가 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 롤투롤 스터링법으로 PET 필름 위에 Sn함량이 각각 3, 5, 7.5 10% 도핑된 ITO 타겟을 사용하여 ITO 박막을 증착 하였고, 전기적 광학적 특성을 조사하여 롤투롤 스퍼터링법으로 우수한 전기 전도도와 광투과도 특성을 가지는 ITO/PET 필름의 증착 조건을 최적화 하였다. 또한, ITO 증착 시 필름에서 발생하는 수분에 의한 ITO 박막의 특성 저하 현상에 대하여 조사하였다.
