We successfully fabricated OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diodes) with Al cathodes electrode deposited by the DC magnetron sputtering. The effects of a controlled Al cathode layer of an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)/blended single polymer layer (PVK Bu:PBD:dye)/Al light emitting diodes are described. The PVK (Poly(N-vinylcarbazole)) and Bu-PBD (2-(4-biphenyl-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole) are used hole transport polymer and electron transport molecule respectively. We found that both current injection and electroluminescence output are significantly different with a variable DC sputtering power. The difference is believed to be due to the influence near the blended polymer layer/cathode interface that results from the DC power and H$\sub$2//O in a chamber. And DC sputtering deposition is an effective way to fabricate Al electrodes with pronounced orientational characteristics without damage occurring to metal-organic interface during the sputtering deposition.

A way of measuring an efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes are studied. The efficiency is obtained from the current-voltage-luminance characteristics of the devices. Basically, number of charge carriers are obtained from the current-voltage characteristics, and the number of photons are obtained from the current of Si-photodetector. The organic light-emitting diodes are assumed as a lambertian light source and a program is made for calculating the efficiency. A device structure of ITO/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al is manufactured using thermal-vapor evaporation. This device is set into a measuring system and measured the efficiency. The efficiencies are measured using the lab-made program and commercially available equipments. The obtained values are similar to each other within 10% uncertainty.

다결정 실리콘 박막트랜지스터 (poly-Si TFTs)는 벌크실리콘을 이용한 MOSFET소자에 비해 실리콘 박막의 형성이 간단하므로 대면적의 공정이 가능하며 다양한 기판위에 적용이 가능하여 LCD, OLED 등의 디스플레이 기기에 많이 이용되고 있다. 또한 poly-Si TFT는 3차원으로 적층된 소자의 제작이 가능하여 고집적의 한계를 극복할 소자로 주목받고 있다. 최근, DRAM은 캐패시터의 축소화와 구조적 공정이 한계점에 도달했으며 이를 극복하기 위하여 SOI 기판을 사용한 하나의 트랜지스터로 DRAM의 동작을 수행하는 1T-DRAM의 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 이러한 1T-DRAM 소자를 대면적과 다층구조의 공정이 가능한 poly-Si TFT를 이용하여 구현하면 초고집적의 메모리 소자를 제작 가능할 것이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 다결정 실리콘 박막트랜지스터 (poly-Si TFTs)를 이용한 1T-DRAM의 동작 특성을 연구하였다. 소자의 제작 방법으로는 200 nm의 열산화막이 성장된 p-type 실리콘 기판위에 상부실리콘으로 사용될 비정질 실리콘 박막을 LPCVD 방법으로 증착하였다. 다음으로 248 nm의 파장을 가지는 KrF 레이저를 이용한 eximer laser annealing (ELA) 공정을 통하여 결정화된 상부실리콘층에 TFT 소자를 제작하여 전기적 특성을 평가하였다.

Many organic materials have been synthesized and extended efforts have been made to obtain high performance electroluminescence(EL) devices, since the first report of the light-emitting diodes based on Alq3. BECCP[bis(3-N-ethylcarbazolyl)cyanoterephthalidene] is a new luminescent material having cyano as an electron acceptor part and carbazole moiety as an electron donor part. The BECCP material shows blue PL and EL spectra of the device at about 480nm and in the ITO/BECCP/Al device shows typical rectifying diode characteristics. We have introduced Alq3 between the electrode and BECCP, and obtained more intensive rectifying diode characteristics in forward and reverse bias.

Encapsulation of organic based devices is essential issue due to easy deterioration of organic material by water vapor. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a promising solution because of its low temperature deposition and quality of the deposited film. Moisture permeation has a mechanism to pass through defects, Thin Film Encapsulation using inorganic / organic / inorganic hybrid film has been used as promising technology. $Al_2O_3$ / Polymer / $Al_2O_3$ multilayer film has shown excellent environmental protection characteristics despite of thin thicknesses of the films.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) has been widely used as transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) for transparent electrodes of various optoelectronic devices, such as liquid crystal displays (LCD) and organic light emitting diodes (OLED). However, indium has become increasingly expensive and rare because of its limited resources. In addition, ITO thin films have some problems for OLED and flexible displays, such as imperfect work function, chemical instability, and high deposition temperature. Therefore, multi-component TCO materials have been reported as anode materials. Among the various materials, IZTO thin films have been gained much attention as anode materials due to their high work function, good conductivity, high transparency and low deposition temperature. IZTO thin films with a thickness of 200nm were deposited on Corning glass substrate at different substrate temperature by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering with a sintered ceramic target of IZTO (In2O3 70 wt%, ZnO 15 wt%, SnO2 15 wt%). We investigated the electrical, optical, structural properties of IZTO thin films. As the substrate temperature is increased, the electrical properties of IZTO are improved. All IZTO thin films have good optical properties, which showed an average of transmittance over 80%. These IZTO thin films were used to fabricate organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) as anode and the device performances studied. As a result, IZTO has utility value of TCO electrode although it reduced indium and we expect it is possible for the IZTO to apply to flexible display due to the low processing temperature.

Simple and high efficiency green phosphorescent devices using an intermixed double host of 4, 4', 4"-tris(N-carbazolyl) triphenylamine [TCTA], 1, 3, 5-tris (N-phenylbenzimiazole-2-yl) benzene [TPBI], phosphorescent dye of tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III) [$Ir(ppy)_3$], and selective doping in the TPBI region were fabricated, and their electro luminescent characteristics were evaluated. In the device fabrication, layers of $70{\AA}$-TCTA/$90{\AA}$-$TCTA_[0.5}TPBI_{0.5}$/$90{\AA}$-TPBI doped with $Ir(ppy)_3$ of 8% and an undoped layer of $50{\AA}$-TPBI were successively deposited to form an emission region, and SFC137 [proprietary electron transporting material] with three different thicknesses of $300{\AA}$, $500{\AA}$, and $700{\AA}$ were used as an electron transport layer. The device with $500{\AA}$-SFC137 showed the luminance of $48,300\;cd/m^2$ at an applied voltage of 10 V, and a maximum current efficiency of 57 cd/A under a luminance of $230\;cd/m^2$. The peak wavelength in the electroluminescent spectral and color coordinates on the Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage [CIE] chart were 512 nm and (0.31, 0.62), respectively.

Spiro-type orange phosphorescent host materials, 9-diphenylphosphine oxide-spiro[fluorene-7,9'-benzofluorene] (OPH-1P) and 5-diphenylphosphine oxide-spiro[fluorene-7,9'-benzofluorene] (OPH-2P) were successfully prepared by a lithiation reaction followed by a phosphination reaction with diphenylphosphinic chloride. The EL characteristics of OPH-1P and OPH-2P as orange host materials doped with iridium(III) bis(2-phenylquinoline)acetylacetonate ($Ir(pq)_2acac$) were evaluated. The electroluminescence spectra of the ITO (150 nm)/DNTPD (60 nm)/NPB (30 nm)/OPH-1P or OPH-2P: $Ir(pq)_2acac$ (30 nm)/BCP (5 nm)/$Alq_3$ (20 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (200 nm) devices show a narrow emission band with a full width at half maximum of 75 nm and $\lambda_{max}$ = 596 nm. The device obtained from OPH-1P doped with 3% $Ir(pq)_2acac$ showed an orange color purity of (0.580, 0.385) and an efficiency of (14 cd/A at 7.0 V). The ability of the OPH-P series to combine a high triple energy with a low operating voltage is attributed to the inductive effect of the P=O moieties and subsequent energy lowering of the LUMO, resulting in the enhancement of both the electron injection and transport in the device. The overall result is a device with an EQE > 8% at high brightness, but operating voltage of less than 6.4 V, as compared to the literature voltages of ~10 V.

We have studied an emission spectra of top-emssion organic light-emitting diodes(TEOLED) due to a change of cathode and organic layer thickness. Device structure is Al(100nm)/TPD(xnm)/$Alq_3$(ynm)/LiF(0.5nm)/cathode. And two different types of cathode were used; one is LiF(0.5nm)/Al(25nm) and the other is LiF(0.5nm)/Al(2nm)/Ag(30nm). While a thickness of hole-transport layer of TPD was varied from 35 to 65nm, an emissive layer thickness of $Alq_3$ was varied from 50 to 100nm for two devices. A ratio of those two layer was kept to be about 2:3. Al and Al/Ag double layer cathode devices show that the emission spectra were changed from 490nm to 560nm and from 490nm to 560nm, respectively, when the total organic layer increase. Full width at half maximum was changed from 67nm to 49nm and from 90nm to 35nm as the organic layer thickness increases. All devices show that view angle dependent emission spectra show a blue shift. Blue shift is strong when the organic layer thickness is more than 140nm. Devece with Al/Ag double layer cathode is more vivid.
