The applicability of models based on fractal morphology to characterize $(Ba\;Sr)TiO_{3}$ thin film surfaces was investigated. The fractal morphology of coated barium strontium titan oxide thin film surfaces was described using fractal dimension from scanning electro microscopy image. The $(Ba\;Sr)TiO_{3}$ coating were deposited on silicon wafers using $(Ba\;Sr)TiO_{3}$ solution and spin coater. BST solution was composited by mol ratio, and then spin-coated from 3 times to 5 times coating on $Pt/SiO_{2}/Si$ substrate. Qualitative thin film analysis was performed with scanning electro microscopy (SEM), and surfaces parameters such as average grain diameter, roughness exponent and fractal dimension were determined.

Mechanical property evaluation of micrometer-sized structures is necessary to help design reliable microelectromechanical systems(MEMS) devices. Most material properties are known to exhibit dependence on specimen size and such properties of microscale structures are not well characterized. This paper describes techniques developed for tensile testing of thin film used in MEMS. Epi-polycrystalline silicon is currently the most widely used material, and its tensile strength has been measured as 1.52GPa. We have developed a tensile testing machine for testing microscale specimen using electro-magnetic actuator. The field magnet and the moving coil taken from an audio-speaker were utilized as the components of the actuator. Structure of specimen was designed and manufactured for easy handling and alignment. In addition to the static tensile tests, it is described that new techniques and procedures can be adopted for high cycle fatigue test of a thin film.

We investigated the electrical characteristics of amorphous silicon-zinc-tin-oxide (a-SZTO) thin films deposited by RF-magnetron sputtering at room temperature depending on the deposition time. We fabricated a thin film transistor (TFT) with a bottom gate structure and various channel thicknesses. With increasing channel thickness, the threshold voltage shifted negatively from -0.44 V to -2.18 V, the on current ($I_{on}$) and field effect mobility (${\mu}_{FE}$) increased because of increasing carrier concentration. The a-SZTO film was fabricated and analyzed in terms of the contact resistance and channel resistance. In this study, the transmission line method (TLM) was adopted and investigated. With increasing channel thickness, the contact resistance and sheet resistance both decreased.

본 연구는 α-Si:H TFT(Amorphous Silicon Thin Film Transistor)를 대체 할 펜타센을 활성층으로 사용하는 박막 트랜지스터를 제작에 관한 것이다. 유기 박막 트랜지스터는 유기발광소자와 함께 유연한 디스플레이에 응용된다. 펜타센 박막 트랜지스터의 제작은 채널 길이 25㎛, 70㎛, 소스, 드레인, 게이트 전극으로 Au을 lift off 공정으로 제작하였으며, 펜타센은 OMBD(Organic Molecular Beam Deposition)로 기판온도를 80℃로 유지하여 증착하였다. 제작된 소자로부터 트랜지스터 전류-전압 특성곡선을 측정하였고, 게이트에 의한 채널의 전도도가 조절됨을 확인하였다. 그리고, 전달특성곡선으로부터 문턱전압과 전계효과 이동도를 추출하였다.

The poly-Si thin film transistor (TFT) shows large variations in its characteristics due to the grain boundary of poly-crystalline silicon. This results in unacceptably large input offset of low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) receivers. To cancel the large input offset of poly-Si TFT LVDS receivers, a full-digital offset compensation scheme has been developed and verified to be able to keep the input offset under 15 mV which is sufficiently small for LVDS signal receiving.

Recently, we have developed p-i-n hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) single junction (SJ) thin film solar cells with RF (13,56MHz) plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) systems, and also successfully fabricated the mini-modules (>300$cm^2$), using laser scribing technique to form an integrated series connection, The efficiency of a mini-module was 7.4% (Area=305$cm^2$, $I_{SC}$=0.25A, $V_{OC}$=14.74V, FF=62%).

Carbon nanotube emitters is very promising electron emitter for electron beam applications. We introduced the carbon nanotube electron beam (C-beam) exposure technic using triode structure. As a source, the electron beam emit from CNT emitters placed at the cathode by high electric field. Through the gate mesh, with high accelerating energy, the electron can be extracted easily and impact at the anode plate. For thin film modification, after the C-beam exposure on the amorphous silicon thin film, we found phase changes and it showed a high crystallinity from the Raman measurement. We expect that this crystallized film will be a good candidate as a new active layer of TFT.

Transparent conductive oxides (TCO) are necessary as front electrode for most thin film solar cell. In our paper, transparent conducting aluminum-doped Zinc oxide films (ZnO:Al) were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering on glass (Corning 1737) substrate as a variation of the deposition condition. After deposition, the smooth ZnO:Al films were etched in diluted HCI (0.5%) to examine the electrical and surface morphology properties as a variation of the time. The most important deposition condition of surface-textured ZnO films by chemical etching is the processing pressure md the substrate temperature. In low pressures (0.9mTorr) and high substrate temperatures ($\leq$$300^{\circ}C$), the surface morphology of films exhibits a more dense and compact film structure with effective light-trapping to apply the silicon thin film solar cells.

High efficiency thin film solar cells require an absorber layer with high absorption and low defect, a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) film with high transmittance of over 80% and a high conductivity. Furthermore, light can be captured through the glass substrate and sent to the light absorbing layer to improve the efficiency. In this paper, morphology formation on the surface of glass substrate was investigated by using HF, mainly classified as random etching and periodic etching. We discussed about the etch mechanism, etch rate and hard mask materials, and periodic light trapping structure.
