  • We have investigated the effect of annealing on the structural and optical properties of polycrystalline Ga doped ZnO (GZO) films grown on glass substrates by RF-magnetron sputter at room temperature. The structural and optical properties of as-grown GZO films were characterized and then samples were annealed at $400{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ ambient for 30, 60 minutes, respectively. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to measure the grain size and the crystalline quality of the films. We found that the crystalline quality was improved and the grain size tends to be increased. The optical properties of GZO thin films were analyzed by UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometers. It is found that optical properties of thin films are increased by annealing and can be used for transparent electrode application. We believe that the appropriate post-growth heat treatment could be contributed to the improvement of GZO-based devices.

  • The magnetic amd magneto-optical(MO)properties of Co-based multilayered(ML)films are known to vary sensitively according to the manufacturing methods and the film microstructures. Co/Pd and Co/Pt ML films with ultrathin layers of Co were prepared by alternating deposition in an ultrahigh-vacuum physical-vapor-deposition system. The individual layer thicknesses of the samples were estimated making use of the angular positions of x-ray diffraction peaks. The magnetic and MO properties were investigated, and correlated systematically to the structural parameters of the films. A Kerr spectrometer was self-manufactured to measure the MO properties such as Kerr rotation angle, ellipticity and reflectivity. The rms surface roughness was also measured using atomic force microscopy. Some of the samples showed good properties for MO medium, such as large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and Kerr rotation, and perfect squareness of the magnetic hysteresis loop.

  • As one of the core technologies in the field of the optical communication with WDM, the optical cross connector with movements of micro mirrors is getting important day by day. The packaging structure of 2-dimensional NxN MOEMS switch should be determined by the harmonization of the following items such as the geometrical compatability between optical and structural components, the characteristics of optical input and output parts with device, and the electrical performance for the operation of micro mirrors. Therefore, the packaging process could be defined as the integrated technology completed by the optical and electrical science and the material science for the understanding of its thermo-mechanical properties with packaging materials. In the present study, the harmonization between the optical and structural components as well as the optical characteristics of lens system used will be investigated.

  • Nonlinear optical properties of TeO2-PbO-GeO2 glasses were investigated and their correlation with struc-tural modification was investigated. Third-order nonlinear susceptibility $\chi$, ranged between 5.0$\times$10-13 esu and 10.7$\times$10-13 esu which are approximately 20-40 times larger than that of silica glass. The glass with a composition of 85(80TeO2-20PbO)-15GeO2(mol%) seemed to provide an optimum compromise between $\chi$and the stability against crystallization. Analyses of the Raman spectra suggested that these glasses are mainly composed of [TeO4] tbp, [TeO3]tp and [GeO4] tetrahedral structural units. It was concluded that the positive contribution of Pb2+ with high polarizability to $\chi$ in TeO2-PbO glasses overwhelmed the negative influence due to the structural modification of [TeO4]tbplongrightarrow[TeO3]tp. On the other hand addition of GeO2 in TeO2-PbO-GeO2 glasses resulted in the decrease of $\chi$ values. This behavior was attributed to the formation of [GeO4] polyhedra at the expense of [TeOn] polyhedra and Pb2+ ions which normally sowed a higher contribu-tion to $\chi$ than [GeO4] polyhedra.

  • Indium free consisting of three alternating layers GTO/Ag/GTO has been fabricated by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering for the applications as transparent conducting electrodes and the structural, electrical and optical properties of the gallium tin oxide (GTO) films were carefully studied. The gallium tin oxide thin films deposited at room temperature are found to have an amorphous structure. Hall Effect measurements show a strong influence on the conductivity type where it changed from n-type to p-type at $700^{\circ}C$. GTO/Ag/GTO multilayer structured electrode with a few nm of Ag layer embedded is fabricated and show the optical transmittance of 86.48% in the visible range (${\lambda}$ = 380~770 nm) and quite low electrical resistivity of ${\sim}10^{-5}{\Omega}cm$. The resultant power conversion efficiency of 2.60% of the multilayer based OPV (GAG) is lower than that of the reference commercial ITO. GTO/Ag/GTO multilayer is a promising transparent conducting electrode material due to its low resistivity, high transmittance, low temperature deposition and low cost components.

  • Electromagnetic interference shielding and near-infrared cutoff filters for plasma display panel application were designed and fabricated by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Three types of the filters were prepared: the basic structure of type A consisted of [$TiO_2$ Ti Ag $TiO_2$]; type B, of [$TiO_2$ ITO Ag $TiO_2$]; type C, of [$TiO_2$ ITO Ag ITO $TiO_2$]. Ti and ITO layers deposited on Ag layers were employed as barriers to prevent the oxidation and the diffusion of Ag film into the adjacent oxide layers. Optical, electrical, chemical, and structural properties were investigated, and the result shows that the filters with the ITO barrier layers provided an enhancement in transmittance in the visible owing to a lower absorption of ITO layers than Ti layers. Type C filter showed better optical and electrical performances and smoother surface roughness than Type B and C filters: the average sheet resistance was as low as 1.51 $\Omega\Box$ (where $\square$ stands for a square film), the peak transmittance in the visible was as high as 78.2 %, and the average surface roughness was 1.48 nm.
