본 연구에서는 반도체식 가스센서 재료로서 활용 가능한 ZnO 박막을 Continuous Flow Reaction(CFR) 방법으로 실리콘 기판 위에 성장시켰다. 또한 전구물질로 사용한 zinc acetate의 농도에 따른 산화아연 박막의 성장특성과 이들의 전기적 특성이 조사되었다. 산화아연 박막 제조는 0.005~0.02 M의 zinc acetate 농도에서 수행되었다. 산화아연 박막을 구성하고 있는 ZnO의 입자크기는 농도가 증가할수록 증가되었으며, 박막의 두께도 함께 증가되었다. CFR 법에 의한 산화아연 박막의 성장속도는 전구물질의 농도에 비례적으로 의존되는 것을 확인하였으며, 균일한 박막을 제조하기 위한 전구물질의 최적 농도는 0.01 M이였다. 한편, 전구물질의 농도를 달리하여 제조된 산화아연 박막의 전압에 대한 전류를 I-V 측정기로 측정한 결과, 박막의 두께가 증가될수록 높은 전류가 흘렀다. 그러므로 산화아연 박막의 전류를 전구물질의 농도변화로 조절할 수 있다. 또한 산화아연 박막을 $300^{\circ}C$에서 5 min 동안 $500ppmv\;H_2S$에 노출시킨 결과, 전압에 대한 전류값이 낮아졌다. 이와 같이 산화아연의 전기적 특성은 가스센서로 응용할 수 있는 가능성을 확인시켜 주는 결과라 할 수 있다.

다양한 함량으로 네오디뮴이 도핑된 황화아연 박막제작은 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 장비를 이용하여 황화아연과 네오디뮴을 동시 증착하여 박막을 제작하였고, 후처리 공정으로 급속열처리를 400℃ 에서 30분간 실시하였다. 다양한 네오디뮴의 도핑 함량(0.35at.%, 1.31at.%, 1.82at.% 및 1.90at.%)을 갖는 ZnS 박막의 구조, 형태, 광학적 특성을 연구하였다.

In this study, chemical bath deposition method was used to grow Zinc sulfide(ZnS) thin films from $NH_3/SC(NH_2)_2/ZnSO_4$ solutions at $90^{\circ}C$. ZnS thin films have been prepared onto ITO glass. The concentrations of $ZnSO_4$ and $NH_3$ were varied while the concentration of Thiourea was fixed in 0.52 M. Structural, optical, electrical characteristic of ZnS thin films were measured. The physical and optical properties of different ZnS thin films were influenced severely by the concentration of the two reacting chemicals. The optimal concentration of $ZnSO_4$ and $NH_3$ was 0.085 M and 1.6 M, respectively.

A new technique to grow a manganese-doped zinc-sulfide(ZnS：Mn) has been proposed using the repeated deposition of the Hot Wall method. The optical characteristics and crystallinity for the ZnS and ZnS：Mn thin films deposited on a quartz glass substrate by the method were investigated. Also, The ZnS：Mn thin film elcetroluminescent devices were fabricated by the method to study luminescence characteristics. All films showed (111)-oriented cubic structure. By the repeated deposition, the deposition rates were decreased, and the optical characteristics and crystalline properties were improved, which clarifies that the method is effective to deposit the thin films with good crystallinity Futhermore, the crystallinity was more improved by the doping of Mn. Only one peak emission at around 585nm originating from Mn luminescent center is observed In the photoluminescent and electroluminescent spectra of ZnS：Mn films and the luminance of the ZnS：Mn-based thin film electroluminescent devices was obtained below 60cd/$m^2$ . The optical and crystalline properties, luminescence characteristics are discussed in terms of the effects of the repeated deposition and Mn-doping.

Zinc oxysulfide nanocrystals (ZnOS NCs) were synthesized by forming ZnS phase on a ZnO matrix. ZnO nanocrystals (NCs) with a diameter of 10 nm were synthesized by forced hydrolysis in an organic solvent. As-synthesized ZnO NCs aggregated with each other due to the high surface energy. As acetic acid (AA) was added into the milky suspension of the aggregated ZnO NCs, transparent solution of well dispersed ZnO NCs formed. Finally ZnOS NCs were formed by adding thioacetic acid (TAA) to the transparent solution. The effect of recrystallization on the structural, optical and electrical properties of the ZnOS NCs were studied. The results of UV-vis absorption confirmed the band gap tunability caused by increasing the curing temperature of ZnOS thin films. This may have originated from the larger effective size due to the recrystallization of zinc sulfide (ZnS). From XRD result we identified that ZnOS thin films have a zinc blende crystal structure of ZnS without wurtzite ZnO structure. This is probably due to the small amount of ZnO phases. These assertions were verified through EDS of FE-SEM, XPS and EDS mapping of HR-TEM results; we clearly proved that ZnOS were comprised of ZnS and ZnO phases.

Thin film solar cells are growing up in the market due to their high efficiency and low cost. Especially CdTe and $CuInGaSe_2$ based solar cells are leading the other cells, but due to the limited percentage of the elements present in our earth's crust like Tellurium, Indium and Gallium, the price of the solar cells will increase rapidly. Copper Zinc Tin Sulfide (CZTS) and Copper Zinc Tin Selenide (CZTSe) semiconductor (having a kesterite crystal structure) are getting attention for its solar cell application as the absorber layer. CZTS and CZTSe have almost the same crystal structure with more environmentally friendly elements. Various authors have reported growth and characterization of CZTSe films and solar cells with efficiencies about 3.2% to 8.9%. In this study, a novel method to prepare CZTSe has been proposed based on selenization of stacked Copper Selenide ($Cu_2Se$), Tin Selenide ($SnSe_2$) and Zinc Selenide (Zinc Selenide) in six possible stacking combinations. Depositions were carried out through RF magnetron sputtering. Selenization of all the samples was performed in Close Space Sublimation (CSS) in vacuum at different temperatures for three minutes. Characterization of each sample has been performed in Field Emission SEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, EDS and Auger. In this study, the properties and results of $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ thin films grown by selenization will be presented.

We studied the structural and optical characterization of zinc sulfide (ZnS) thin films by RF magnetron sputtering on glass substrates. The substrate temperature was varied in the range of 100$^{\circ}C$ to 400$^{\circ}C$. The XRD analyses indicated that ZnS films had cubic structures with (111) preferential orientation and grain size varied from 20 to 60 nm, increasing with substrate temperatures. The optical properties were carried out by UV-visible spectrophotometer. Transmission measurement showed that the films had more than 70% transmittance in the wavelength larger than 400 nm, and the absorption edge shifted to shorter wavelength with the increase of substrate temperatures.

Despite the success of Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$ (CIGS) based PV technology now emerging in several industrial initiatives, concerns about the cost of In and Ga are often expressed. It is believed that the cost of those elements will eventually limit the cost reduction of this technology. One candidate to replace CIGS is $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ (CZTSe), fabricated by co-evaporation technique. Co-evaporation technique will be one of the best methods to control film composition. This type of absorber derives from the $CuInSe^2$ chalcopyrite structure by substituting half of the indium atoms with zinc and other half with tin. Energy bandgap of this material has been reported to range from 0.8eV for selenide to 1.5eV for the sulfide and large coefficient in the order of $10^{14}cm^{-1}$, which means large possibility of commercial production of the most suitable absorber by using the CZTSe film. In this work, Effects of substrate temperature of $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ absorber layer on the performance of thin films solar cells were investigated. We reported on some of the absorber properties and device results.

We investigated the high-excitation voltage cathodoluminescence (CL) performance of blue light-emitting (ZnS:Ag,Al,Cl) and green light-emitting (ZnS:Cu,Al) phosphors coated with metal oxides ($SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, and MgO). Hydrolysis of the metal oxide precursors tetraethoxysilane, aluminum isopropoxide, and magnesium nitrate, with subsequent heat annealing at $400^{\circ}C$, produced $SiO_2$ nanoparticles, an $Al_2O_3$ thin film, and MgO scale-type film, respectively, on the surface of the phosphors. Effects of the phosphor surface coatings on CL intensities and aging behavior of the phosphors were assessed using an accelerating voltage of 12 kV. The MgO thick film coverage exhibited less reduction in initial CL intensity and was most effective in improving aging degradation. Phosphors treated with a low concentration of magnesium nitrate maintained their initial CL intensities without aging degradation for 2000 s. In contrast, the $SiO_2$ and the $Al_2O_3$ coverages were ineffective in improving aging degradation.
