  • Transparent oxide semiconductors (TOSs) are. currently attracting attention for application to transparent electrodes in optoelectronic devices and active channel layers in thin-film transistors. One of the key issues for the realization of next generation transparent electronic devices such as transparent complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor thin-film transistors (CMOS TFTs), transparent wall light, sensors, and transparent solar cell is to develop p-type TOSs. In this talks, I will introduce issues and status related to p-type TOSs such as LnCuOQ (Ln=lanthanide, Q=S, Se), $SrCu_2O_2$, $CuMO_2$ (M=Al, Ga, Cr, In), ZnO, $Cu_2O$ and SnO. The growth and properties of SnO and Cu-based oxides and their application to electronic devices will be discussed.

  • In recent days, advances in ZnO-based oxide semiconductor materials have accelerated the development of thin-film transistors (TFTs), which are the building blocks for active matrix flat-panel displays including liquid crystal displays (LCD) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). In particular, the development of high-mobility ZnO-based channel materials has been proven invaluable; thus, there have been many reports of high-performance TFTs with oxide semiconductor channels such as ZnO, InZnO (IZO), ZnSnO (ZTO), and InGaZnO (IGZO). The reliability of oxide TFTs can be improved by examining more stable oxide channel materials. In the present study, we investigated the effects of an ALD-deposited water vapor permeation barrier on the stability of ZnO and HfZnO (HZO) thin film transistors. The device without the water vapor barrier films showed a large turn-on voltage shift under negative bias temperature stress. On the other hand, the suitably protected device with the lowest water vapor transmission rate showed a dramatically improved device performance. As the value of the water vapor transmission rate of the barrier films was decreased, the turn-on voltage instability reduced. The results suggest that water vapor related traps are strongly related to the instability of ZnO and HfZnO TFTs and that a proper combination of water vapor permeation barriers plays an important role in suppressing the device instability.

  • 투명전도 산화막(Transparent conducing oxide: TCO)은 태양 전지, 터치패널, 가스 센서 등 여러 분야에 적용할 수 있는 물질로서 전기 전도성과 광 투과성을 동시에 가진다. 높은 전기 전도성과 광 투과성을 가지는 Sb:$In_2O_3$(ITO)는 투명전도 산화막 재료로써 가장 일반적으로 사용되고 있으나 인듐의 매장량 한계로 인해 가격이 높다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 ITO 대체 TCO 물질인 Al doped ZnO(AZO)를 rf magnetron sputter를 이용하여 최적의 수소 도핑량을 찾아 ITO의 전기적 광학적 성질과 비교하였다. AZO 박막은(ZnO:Al2O3 2wt.%)타겟을 이용하여 heater 온도 250도에서 슬라이드 글래스 및 코닝 글래스에 증착시켰고 비교군인 ITO박막은 (In2O3:$SnO_2$ 10wt.%)타겟을 이용하여 수소 도핑 없이 350도로 증착시켰다. AZO 및 ITO 박막의 전기적 특성은 hall measurement를 이용하여 측정하였고, UV-VIS spectrophotometer로 광학적 특성을 측정하였다. 수소 도핑량이 증가함에 따라 AZO 박막의 캐리어 농도가 증가하여 전기적 특성이 향상되었고, 가시광 영역에서 높은 평균 투과도를 유지 하였다. AZO 박막과 ITO 박막의 전기적 및 광학적 특성을 비교한 결과, 최적 수소 도핑량을 가진 AZO 박막은 ITO 박막에 준하는 특성을 보였다.

  • Zinc oxide (ZnO)을 금(Au)과 fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) 촉매로 산화실리콘($SiO_2$) 기판에 산화아연입자 20 nm, $20{\mu}m$를 각각 사용하여 기체-액체-고체(VLS) 합성법으로 성장시켰다. 나노로드의 표면특성, 화학조성, 그리고 결정특성을 엑스레이회절(X-ray diffraction (XRD)), 에너지 분산형 X선 분광기(Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX)), 표면 방출주사현미경(Field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM))으로 분석하였다. ZnO의 입자 크기 뿐만 아니라 결정형태가 성장에 크게 영향을 미쳤다. ZnO의 모든 나노구조가 6방정계(六方晶系), 단일결정구조를 가지고 있었다. 최적온도는 $1030^{\circ}C$, 입자크기는 20 nm이다. 그러므로 Au 대신 플루오린 첨가 도핑으로 전기음성도가 증가된 FTO 증착에 의해서 생성된 나노로드는 경제성 있는 대체물질로서의 가치가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • 인삼염유리는 전자부품분야에서 저온소성유리로 그 활용범위가 넓은 편이나 높은 열팽창계수로 알칼리 산화물 등을 첨가하여 그 특성을 조정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 P$_2$O$_{5}$-SnO-ZnO-SiO$_2$/B$_2$O$_3$ 유리계에 대하여 열적특성으로 선팽창계수와 유리전이온도, 용융온도 등을 측정하여 그들 값의 상관관계를 고찰하였다. 이러한 결과는 다른 인삼염 유리와 비교하였을때 선팽창계수와 유리전이온도의 곱이 일정한 값으로 나타나서 이들 중의 하나의 값으로부터 간접적으로 다른 변수를 측정 할 수 있는 한 방법이 될 수 있다.

  • Recently, advances in ZnO based oxide semiconductor materials have accelerated the development of thin-film transistors (TFTs), which are the building blocks for active matrix flat-panel displays including liquid crystal displays (LCD) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). However, the electrical performances of oxide semiconductors are significantly affected by interactions with the ambient atmosphere. Jeong et al. reported that the channel of the IGZO-TFT is very sensitive to water vapor adsorption. Thus, water vapor passivation layers are necessary for long-term current stability in the operation of the oxide-based TFTs. In the present work, $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$ thin films were deposited on poly ether sulfon (PES) and $SnO_x$-based TFTs by electron cyclotron resonance atomic layer deposition (ECR-ALD). And enhancing the WVTR (water vapor transmission rate) characteristics, barrier layer structure was modified to $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ layered structure. For example, $Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$ single layer, $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ double layer and $Al_2O_3/TiO_2/Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ multilayer were studied for enhancement of water vapor barrier properties. After thin film water vapor barrier deposited on PES substrate and $SnO_x$-based TFT, thin film permeation characteristics were three orders of magnitude smaller than that without water vapor barrier layer of PES substrate, stability of $SnO_x$-based TFT devices were significantly improved. Therefore, the results indicate that $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ water vapor barrier layers are highly proper for use as a passivation layer in $SnO_x$-based TFT devices.

  • Recently, three-dimensional (3D) light harvesting structures are highly attracted because of their high light harvesting capacity and charge collection efficiencies. In this study, we have fabricated $Cu_2ZnSn(S_xSe_{1-x})_4$ based 3D thin film solar cells on PR patterned Molybdenum (Mo) substrates using photolithography technique. Specifically, Mo patterns were deposited on PR patterned Mo substrates by sputtering and the thin Cu-Zn-Sn stacked layer was deposited over this Mo patterns by sputtering technique. The stacked Zn-Sn-Cu precursor thin films were sulfo-selenized to form CZTSSe pattern. Finally, CZTSSe absorbers were coated with thin CdS layer using chemical bath deposition and ZnO window layer was deposited over CZTSSe/CdS using DC sputtering technique. Fabricated 3-D solar cells were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) to study their structural, compositional and morphological properties, respectively. The 3% efficiency is achieved for this kind of solar cell. Further efforts will be carried out to improve the performance of solar cell through various optimizations.

  • ZnO film has been used for CIGS solar cells as a buffer layer as itself or by doping Mg and Sn; ZnO film also has been used as a transparent conducting layer by doping Al or B for solar cells. Since ZnO itself is a host material for many applications it is necessary to understand the electrical and optical properties of ZnO film itself with various preparation conditions. We prepared ZnO films by converting ZnS precursor into ZnO film by thermal annealing. ZnO film was formed at low temperature as low as $500^{\circ}C$ by annealing a ZnS precursor layer in air. In the air annealing, the electrical resistivity decreased monotonically with increasing annealing temperature; the intensity of the green photoluminescence at 505 nm increased up to $750^{\circ}C$ annealing. The electrical resistivity further decreased and the intensity of green emission also increased in reducing atmospheres. The results suggest that deep-level defects originated by oxygen vacancy enhanced green emission, which reduce light transmittance and enhance the recombination of electrons in conduction band and holes in valence. More oxidizing environment is necessary to obtain defect-free ZnO film for higher transparency.

  • Transparent semiconductor oxide thin films have been attracting considerable attention as potential channel layers in thin film transistors (TFTs) owing to their several advantageous electrical and optical characteristics such as high mobility, high stability, and transparency. TFTs with ZnO or similar metal oxide semiconductor thin films as the active layer have already been developed for use in active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED). Of late, there have been several reports on TFTs fabricated with InZnO, AlZnSnO, InGaZnO, or other metal oxide semiconductor thin films as the active channel layer. These newly developed TFTs were expected to have better electrical characteristics than ZnO TFTs. In fact, results of these investigations have shown that TFTs with the new multi-component material have excellent electrical properties. In this work, we present TFTs with inverted coplanar geometry and with a novel HfInZnO active layer co-sputtered at room temperature. These TFTs are meant for use in low voltage, battery-operated mobile and flexible devices. Overall, the TFTs showed good performance: the low sub-threshold swing was low and the $I_{on/off}$ ratio was high.

  • 투명전극은 디스플레이, 태양전지와 같은 광전자 소자에 필수적이며, 지금까지 개발된 재료 중에는 ITO가 가장 투명하면서 전기전도도가 높고 생산성도 좋기 때문에 투명전극의 재료로 사용하고 있다. ITO는 낮은 비저항(${\sim}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$) 과 높은 투과율 (~85 %), 상대적으로 넓은 밴드갭 에너지 (3.5 eV) 의특성과 같이 뛰어난 전기적 광학적 특성에 반해서 높은 원자재 가격, 불안정한 공급량 등으로 인한 문제점이꾸준히 제기되고 있다. 따라서 $In_2O_3$:Sn, ZnO:Al, ZnO:Ga, ZnO:F, ZnO:B, TiN 등과 같은 물질들로대체하려는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. ZnO는 ITO보다원자재의 수급이 원활하기 때문에 원가가 낮으며, 상대적으로 낮은 온도에서도 제작이 가능하다. 또한 화학적으로 안정적이므로 ZnO에 Al, Ga 등의 3족 원소를 도핑함으로써 낮은 비저항의 박막 제작이 가능하고, ITO 박막과 비교하여 etching이 쉬우며 기판과의 접착성이 좋으며, sputtering 공정시 plasma 분위기에서의 안정성이 뛰어나고 박막증착율이 높기 때문에 투명전극으로 적합한 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 cylindrical type의 Aldoping된 ZnO single target을 사용하여 박막 증착 압력의 변화를 주어 유리기판 위에 DC sputtering을 하였다. Fieldemission scanning electron microscope (FESEM)을 통해 ZnO:Al 박막의 표면의 형상과 두께를 확인하였으며, X-ray diffraction (XRD) 분석을 통해 박막의 결정학적 특성을 관찰하였다. 투명전극용 물질로서 ZnO:Al 박막의 적합성 여부를 확인하기 위하여 Van der Pauw 방법을 이용하여 박막의 비저항, 전자 이동도, 캐리어 농도를 측정하였으며, 박막의 기계적 성질 및 표면 접착성을 확인하기 위하여 nano-indentaion 분석을 하였다. 또한 UV-vis spectrophotometer를 이용하여 ZnO:Al 박막의 투과율을 분석하여 투명전극으로의 응용 가능성을 확인하였다.
