We studied ink-jet printing for selective deposition of soluble oxide semiconductor to fabricate transistor. Sol-gel derived ZTO solution was synthesized for ink-jet printable solution. Transistors were produced by printing oxide layer between ITO electrodes. We demonstrated that ink-jet printed ZTO transistors work well and surface treatment significantly influences device performance.

In this paper, we demonstrated the orientation characteristics of liquid crystals using UV-treated FSAM as alignment layer. Moreover we confirmed the FSAM properties before and after UV treatment on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrates using physicochemical analysis. The hydrophobic property of the FSAM surface is change to hydrophilic through UV treatment. After UV treatment the LC molecules also were uniformly and horizontally aligned on the FSAM surfaces and the pretilt angle was obviously changed 90° degrees to 0° degrees. EO characteristic of TN cell which was fabricated with UV-treated FSAM was faster response time compare to conventional PI layer. The FSAM before and after UV treatment has a superior application potential as the LC alignment layer for LCD, potentially replacing the conventional polyimide layer.

The WO₃/Ag/WO₃ transparent thin films are fabricated by the RF magnetron sputtering. This has a transmittance of front and rear about 90% in the visible light range and surface resistance of 6.41Ω/□. In this paper, we analyzed the surface characteristics caused by the working pressure and O₂ plasma surface treatment to apply a transparent electrode that was prepared to the laminated structure with other materials. The working pressure was changed in the WO₃ film to 10mTorr, 7mTorr, and 5mTorr, it showed a lower than roughness of conventional ITO. In addition, by 55.5774 J/m² at 5mTorr, it shows the hydrophobic property with lower process pressure. O₂ plasma surface treatment was changed at the condisions of the RF power to 150W, 100W, and 50W and the process time to 240s, 180s, 120s, and 60s. The surface roughness are the maximum roughness(Rmax) 6.437nm and the average roughness(Rq) 0.827nm at RF power 150W, and the maximum roughness (Rmax) 6.880nm and the average roughness (Rq) 0.839nm at process time 240sec. It showed a lower value than the surface treatment. also about working pressure and process time is increased, it showed the hydrophobic.

Multi- wall carbon nanotubes(MWNTs) were synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition. The paste for screen printing was composed of MWNTs, organic vehicle and glass frit. Carton nanotube paste was screen-printed on ITO(indium tin oxide) deposited soda lim을 glass, and then heat treatment was performed. Before the surface treatment, turn on field of derive was 2.6 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$. After the surface treatment, the value was changed into 1.8 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$. The anode current of the derive with 2.83 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$(turn on field) was changed 4 $\mu\textrm{A}$ into 390 $\mu\textrm{A}$ at 1,700 V. Adsorption effect of MWNTs onto phosphor of anode plate was observed by the field emission measurement and resulted in bad effects on properties of devices lifetime and emission lighting.

Silk fibroin (SF) was dissolved in calcium chloride/ethanol/water mixture(1/2/8 in mole ratio) at $70^{\circ}C$ for 4h. The dissolved silk fibroin was regenerated by casting the dialyzed solution into films. The films were treated with 50% aqueous solution of methanol for different times, and their antithrombogenicity was evaluated by in vivo tests. In vivo blood tests were made by a method of peripheral vein indwelling suture. It was found that the silk fibroin had a good antithrombogenicity and an absorbability even though the polymer showed foreign body reaction. Finally, the blood compatibilty of silk fibroin films which were subjected to structural change by the methoanl treatment, was examined in connection with their interfacial surface energy, and a correlation between these properties was found to be present.

은나노와이어 투명전극은 높은 투과도와 높은 전도도를 가짐과 동시에 높은 유연성을 가지고 있어 차세대 투명전극으로 주목받고 있다. 많은 연구자들이 이를 이용하여 다양한 전자소자에 대한 적용 연구를 수행하고 있고, 터치스크린에 적용한 제품 등이 실제로 선보이고 있다. 하지만 ITO에 비해 높은 생산 단가와 낮은 열적, 환경적인 안정성은 이를 다양한 품목에서 실용화하는데에 있어 문제가 되고 있다. 은나노와이어에 장시간 열이 가해지거나, 습도에 노출되거나, 국소 부분에 높은 열/전류가 가해지게 되면 Rayleigh Instability 현상을 보이며 각각의 나노와이어가 끊어지는 현상이 발생한다. 또한, 공기 중의 수분에 의한 산화가 발생하는 문제도 존재한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 상부에 이종의 물질을 덮어 Passivation을 수행하지만, 이는 생산 단가의 상승으로 이어진다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 기술을 활용하여 은나노와이어의 특성을 강화시키는 연구를 수행하였고, 이종의 물질 형성 없이 전기적, 환경적 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 또한 전기적 특성의 향상으로 인해 더 적은 은나노와이어의 양으로도 같은 전기적 특성을 가질 수 있었고, 이를 통해 높은 투과도/재료소모 절감의 효과를 동시에 얻을 수 있었다.

Dependences of total photoyields on incident photon energies were measured using synchrotron radiation light for different chemical-vapor-deposited diamond with differently treated surface. Results show that a considerable amount of gap states are presented for as-grown specimens with H-terminated, that negative electron affinity (NEA) is realized for H-plasma-treated specimens, and that sufficient O-treatment to NEA specimens results in positive electron affinity. The observed electron affinity can be explained in terms of differences in strength of the surface dipole layer formed by difference in the electron negativity among C, H and O atoms.

The surface of ITO in OLEDs was treated with $HfO_x$ deposition process using an atomic layer chemical vapor deposition system. The treatment at room temperature for 5 cycles exhibited significantly improved electroluminescent characteristics compared to the OLEDs without any treatment, which is believed to be caused by the increased holes injection efficiency.

Recently, in order to improve the performance of the colloidal quantum dot solar cells (CQDSCs), various efforts such as the modification of the cell architecture and surface treatment for quantum dot (QD) passivation have been made. Especially, the incorporation of halides into the QD matrix was reported to improve the performances significantly via passivating QD trap states that lower the life-time of the minority-carrier. In this work, we fabricated a lead sulfide (PbS) QD bilayer treated with different ligands and utilized it as a photoactive layer of the CQDSCs. The bottom and top PbS layer was treated using metal iodide ($MI_x$ and butanedithiol (BuDT), respectively. All the depositions and ligand treatments were carried out in air using layer-by-layer spin-coating process. The fabrication of the active layers as well as the n-type zinc oxide (ZnO) layer was successfully carried out on the bendable indium-tin-oxide (ITO)-coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, which implies that this technique can be applied to the fabrication of flexible and/or wearable solar cells. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the CQDSCs with the architecture of $PET/ITO/ZnO/PbS-MI_x/PbS-BuDT/MoO_x/Ag$ reached 4.2 %, which is significantly larger than that of the cells with single QD (PbS-BuDT) layer.
