Transparent oxide semiconductors have recently attracted much attention as channel layer materials due to advantageous electrical and optical characteristics such as high mobility, high stability, and good transparency. In addition, transparent oxide semiconductor can be fabricated at low temperature with a low production cost and it permits highly uniform devices such as large area displays. A variety of thin film transistors (TFTs) have been studied including ZnO, InZnO, and InGaZnO as the channel layer. Recently, there are many studies for substitution of Ga in InGaZnO TFTs due to their problem, such as stability of devices. In this work, new quaternary compound materials, tantalum-indium-tin oxide (TaInSnO) thin films were fabricated by using co-sputtering and used for the active channel layer in thin film transistors (TFTs). We deposited TaInSnO films in a mixed gas (O2+Ar) atmosphere by co-sputtering from Ta and ITO targets, respectively. The electric characteristics of TaInSnO TFTs and thin films were investigated according to the RF power applied to the $Ta_2O_5$ target. The addition of Ta elements could suppress the formation of oxygen vacancies because of the stronger oxidation tendency of Ta relative to that of In or Sn. Therefore the free carrier density decreased with increasing RF power of $Ta_2O_5$ in TaInSnO thin film. The optimized characteristics of TaInSnO TFT showed an on/off current ratio of $1.4{\times}108$, a threshold voltage of 2.91 V, a field-effect mobility of 2.37 cm2/Vs, and a subthreshold swing of 0.48 V/dec.

Transparent conducting $SnO_2$-based thin films have been coated on float substrates such as fused quartz, and ceramic fiber cloths such as the Nexel and E-glass cloth from tin alkoxides by the sol-gel technique. Also, thin films of alternating layers of $SnO_2$ and $SiO_2$ have been fabricated by dip coating. The sheet resistance and average visible transmittance of the films were investigated in the aspect of the applications as transparent electrodes such as liquid crystal displays, photo-detectors and solar cells. The Nextel and E-glass cloths coated with antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) had sheet resistance of as low as $20 \;ohm/{\Box}$ and $120ohm/\;{\Box}$, respectively. The promotion effects of additives as $La_2O_3$ and Pt on the ethanol gas sensing properties of the films were investigated in the aspects of the applications as an alcohol sensor and a breath alcohol checker. Possible evidence of quantum well effects in the oxide multilayers of $SnO_2$ and $SiO_2$ was investigated.

$SnO_{2}$에 $V_{2}O_{5}/ThO_{2}/Pd$를 도핑하여 제조된 센서는 약 $500^{\circ}C$의 높은 센서 온도에서 CO에 대해 우수한 선택도와 안전성 및 빠른 응답특성을 보였다. 특히, $V_{2}O_{5}$를 약 3.0 wt.% 첨가하여 선택도에 있어서 CO 감도에 대해 $NO_{x}$, $C_{3}H_{8}$, $CH_{4}$ 및 $SO_{2}$같은 많은 간섭가스들의 영향이 적음을 알았다. 센서 제조는 $V_{2}O_{5}$(3.0 wt.%), $ThO_{2}$(1.5wt.%), Pd(1.0 wt.%)의 촉매물질과 함께 기존에 잘 알려진 후막기술을 이용하였다. 일반적으로 연소배가스처럼 $NO_{x}$와 CO가 혼합되어 있는 복합가스의 경우, $SnO_{2}$계 반도체 센서로는 CO만의 검지는 $NO_{x}$ 간섭 때문에 대단히 어렵다. 본 센서는 공연비제어를 요하는 자동차나 보일러 시스템의 연소배가스의 측정과 감시에 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

In this work, we studied the influence of the dopant elements concentration on the properties of SnO2 thin films deposited by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Hall effect measurement and UV-Vis studies were performed to characterize the deposited films. XRD results showed that the films had polycrystalline nature with tetragonal rutile structure. FE-SEM micrographs revealed that the as deposited films composed of dense microstructures with uniform grain size distribution. All the films show n-type conduction and the best transparent conductive oxide (TCO) performance was obtained on 6 wt% Sb2O5 doped SnO2 film prepared at pO2 of 60mtorr and Ts of 500 ℃. Its resitivity, optical transmittance, figure of merit are 7.8 × 10-4 Ω cm, 85% and 1.2 × 10-2 Ω-1, respectively.

Pure and Sn or Pt doped $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ thin films were prepared on $Al_2O_3$ substrates by RF-magnetron sputtering method and the sensitivities were compared. It was found that pure $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ thin films did not exhibit much selectivity in CO and $i-C_4H_{10}$ gases while it showed the high sensitivity in proportion to the gas concentration of $C_2H_{5}OH$ gas. Pt-doped $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ showed to be alike sensing properties as pure $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ thin film in $C_2H_{5}OH$ gas. However, Sn-doped $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ thin films exhibited the excellent sensitivity and selectivity in Hz gas. After microstructure modification by plasma etching on pure $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ thin films, the gas sensing characteristics were dramatically changed.

The Mn4+-activated Li2ZnSn2O6 (LZSO:Mn4+) red phosphors were synthesized by the solid-state reaction at temperatures of 1100-1400 ℃ in air. The synthesized LZSO:Mn4+ phosphors were confirmed to have a single hexagonal LZSO phase without the presence of any secondary phase formed by the Mn4+ addition. With near UV and blue excitation, the LZSO:Mn4+ phosphors exhibited a double band deep-red emission peaked at ~658 nm and ~673 nm due to the 2E → 4A2 transition of Mn4+ ion. PL emission intensity showed a strong dependence on the Mn4+ doping concentration and the 0.3 mol% Mn4+-doped LZSO phosphor produced the strongest PL emission intensity. Photoluminescence emission intensity was also found to be dependent on the calcination temperature and the optimal calcination temperature for the LZSO:Mn4+ phosphors was determined to be 1200 ℃. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and field-effect scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis revealed that the 0.3 mol% Mn4+-doped LZSO phosphor particles have an irregularly round shape and an average particle size of ~1.46 ㎛.

반응성 전자빔 증착 방법으로 여러 산소압력 하에서 VO$_x$ 및 V$_{1-x}$ Sn$_{x}$O$_2$박막을 유리 위에 코팅하였다. Thermochromism과 천이온도는 spectrophotometer를 이용하여 여러 온도에서 파장에 따른 광투과율을 측정하여 조사하였다. 화학양론비를 RBS로 조사한 결과 산소 압력이 5$\times$$10^{-5}$ Torr 일때 가장 뚜렷한 thermochromic 효과를 나타내는 완전에 가까운 화학양론비를 갖는 VO$_2$박막을 제작할 수 있었다. 그리고 박막의 결정화를 위하여 rapid thermal annealing (RTA) 방법을 적웅한 결과 공기중에서 40$0^{\circ}C$~45$0^{\circ}C$에서 20~30초간의 어닐링 하였을 때가 두께 100~300nm의 박막을 결정화시키는데 최적조건으로 발견되었다. 또한, Sn을 VO$_2$에 1%~6% 첨가한 V$_{1-x}$ Sn$_{x}$O$_2$박막의 써모크로미즘 및 천이온도를 spectrophotometer로 근적외선의 투과율을 측정하여 조사한 결과 뚜렷한 thermochromism은 그대로 유지되었고 V$_{1-x}$ Sn$_{x}$O$_2$, 박막의 천이온도는 VO$_2$박막의 천이온도 보다 높게 나타났다.

Iron-doped $Sn_{1-x}Fe_xO_2$ (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.33) thin films on Si(100) substrates and powders were prepared by a chemical solution process. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the $Sn_{1-x}Fe_xO_2$ thin films and powders showed a polycrystalline rutile tetragonal structure. Thermo gravimetric (TG) - differential thermal analysis (DTA) showed the final weight loss above $430{^{\circ}C}$ for all powder samples. According to XRD Rietveld refinement of the powders, the lattice parameters and unit cell volume decreased with increasing Fe content. The magnetic properties were characterized using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. The thin film samples with x = 0.1 and 0.2 showed paramagnetic properties but thin films with x = 0.33 exhibited ferromagnetic properties at room temperature. Mossbauer studies revealed the $Fe^{3+}$ valence state in the samples. The ferromagnetism in the samples can be interpreted in terms of the direct ferromagnetic coupling of ferric ions via an electron trapped in a bridging oxygen deficiency, which can be explained using the F-center exchange model.

공침법을 이용하여 $\textrm{In}_{2}\textrm{O}_{3}$가 0-10 wt.% 첨가된 $\textrm{SnO}_{2}$ 계 미세 분말을 합성한 후, 스크린 인쇄법(screen printing)으로 후막형 가스센서를 제조하고 탄화수소($\textrm{C}_{3}\textrm{H}_{8}$, $\textrm{C}_{4}\textrm{H}_{10}$) 가스에 대하여 가스 감응 특성을 조사하였다. $\textrm{In}_{2}\textrm{O}_{3}$는 $\textrm{SnO}_{2}$의 입자 성장을 억제시키기 위하여 첨가해 주었는데, $600^{\circ}C$에서 하소한 후에도 수 nm 크기의 미세한 입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 공침시 pH 값은 $\textrm{SnO}_{2}$ 의 입자 크기에 영향을 거의 미치지 않은 반면, $\textrm{In}_{2}\textrm{O}_{3}$ 첨가량은 입자 크기와 미세 구조에 큰 영향을 주었다. $\textrm{In}_{2}\textrm{O}_{3}$ 첨가량이 증가할수록 입자 크기는 감소하고 비표면적은 증가하였으며, 센세의 동작 온도를 약 $500^{\circ}C$로 하여 측정한 가스 감응 특성은 3wt.% 첨가했을 때 최대 감도를 나타내고 그 이상의 첨가량에서는 오히려 저하되었다. 3wt.%의 In2O3첨가시 $\textrm{SnO}_{2}$의 입자 크기와 비표면적은 각각 9.5nm, 38$\m^2$/g이었다. 임피던스 측정으로부터 얻은 단일 반원의 Nyquist curve와 선형의 전류-전압(1-V)특성 곡선으로부터, $\textrm{In}_{2}\textrm{O}_{3}$를 첨가하여 수nm로 입자 크기를 억제한 $\textrm{SnO}_{2}$ 계 가스센서는 미세 입자들끼리 형성한 치밀한 응집체와 이들 간의 계면(boundary)에 의해서 가스 감응 특성이 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다.

The manganese-doped magnesium tin oxide with spinel structure was selected as a green phosphor for FED application and was synthesized by the solid state reaction. Its luminescence properties were investigated under low-voltage electron excitation. The $Mg_2SnO_4$:Mn phosphor showed green emission with the spectrum centered at 500 nm due to energy transfer from $^4T_1$ to $^6A_1$ of $Mn^{2+}$ ion. Optimum Mn concentration was 0.6 mole % and the decay time was shorter than 10 ms.
