ZnO has a very large exciton binding energy (60 meV) as well as thermal and chemical stability, which are expected to allow efficient excitonic emission, even at room temperature. ZnO based electronic devices have attracted increasing interest as the backplanes for applications in the next-generation displays, such as active-matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs) and active-matrix organic light emitting diodes (AMOLEDs), and in solid state lighting systems as a substitution for GaN based light emitting diodes (LEDs). Most of these electronic devices employ the electrical behavior of n-type semiconducting active oxides due to the difficulty in obtaining a p-type film with long-term stability and high performance. p-type ZnO films can be produced by substituting group V elements (N, P, and As) for the O sites or group I elements (Li, Na, and K) for Zn sites. However, the achievement of p-type ZnO is a difficult task due to self-compensation induced from intrinsic donor defects, such as O vacancies (Vo) and Zn interstitials ($Zn_i$), or an unintentional extrinsic donor such as H. Phosphorus (P) doped ZnO thin films were grown on c-sapphire substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering with various Ar/ $O_2$ gas ratios. Control of the electrical types in the P-doped ZnO films was achieved by varying the gas ratio with out post-annealing. The P-doped ZnO films grown at a Ar/ $O_2$ ratio of 3/1 showed p-type conductivity with a hole concentration and hole mobility of $10^{-17}cm^{-3}$ and $2.5cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, respectively. X-ray diffraction showed that the ZnO (0002) peak shifted to lower angle due to the positioning of $p^{3-}$ ions with a smaller ionic radius in the $O^{2-}$ sites. This indicates that a p-type mechanism was due to the substitutional Po. The low-temperature photoluminescence of the p-type ZnO films showed p-type related neutral acceptor-bound exciton emission. The p-ZnO/n-Si heterojunction LEO showed typical rectification behavior, which confirmed the p-type characteristics of the ZnO films in the as-deposited status, despite the deep-level related electroluminescence emission.

체적 음향파 공진기(Film bulk acoustic resonator, FBAR)는 2~10 Ghz 대역의 차세대 이동 통신용 구현에 필수적인 부품이기 때문에 국내외에서 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 FBAR 소자 제조를 위한 연구에서 원자층 증착(Atomic layer deposition, ALD) 방법에 의한 ZnO buffer layer 위에 스퍼터링 방법을 이용한 2-step 방법을 사용하여 제조하였다. ALD를 이용한 ZnO buffer layer는 diethylzinc(DEZn)/$H_2O$를 순차적으로 주입하여 증착하였다. 이 때 두 원료물질 사이에 고순도 Ar 가스를 purge gas로 사용하였다. 원료의 주입시간은 1초, 원료간 purge 시간은 23 초로 하고 증착하였다. 2-step 방법을 이용할 경우, 스퍼터링 방법만을 이용하였을 때 보다 우수한 c-축 배향성 및 박막의 표면형상이 관찰되었다. 2-step 방법을 FBAR 소자 제작에 적용할 경우 보다 우수한 특성의 공진기를 제작할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Ga doped ZnO (GZO) transparent conductive films were deposited on the glass substrates at room temperature by facing target sputtering (FTS) method. The sputtering targets were 100 mm diameter disks of GZO($Ga_2O_3$ 3.w.t%) and Zn metal. The GZO thin films were deposited as a various $PO_2$ (oxygen gas content). Base pressure was $2{\times}10^{-6}torr$, and a working pressure was 1mTorr. The properties of thin films on the electrical and optical properties of the deposited films were investigated by using a four-point probe (Chang-min), a Hall Effect measurement (Ecopia) and an UV/VIS spectrometer (HP). The minimum resistivity of film was $6.5{\times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}-cm]$ and the average transmittance of over 80% was seen in the visible range

The effect of plasma damage was investigated on amorphous gallium-indium-zinc oxide (a-GIZO) films and transistors. Ion-bombardment by plasma process affects to turn semiconductor to conductor materials and plasma radiation may degrade to transistor electrical properties. All damages are easily recovered with a $350^{\circ}C$ thermal annealing.

$Cu(In_{1-x}Ga_{x})Se_2$(CIGS)는 매우 큰 광흡수계수를 가지고 있으므로 박막형 태양전지의 광흡수층 재료로서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 박막이 태양전지의 광흡수층으로 이용되기 위해서는 큰 결정크기와 평탄한 표면, 적당한 전기적 특성을 가져야 한다. 이러한 특성들은 CIGS 박막의 조성에 큰 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 동시증발법을 이용하여 Cu/(In+Ga) 비를 0.9로 고정한 후 Ga 조성(Ga/(In+Ga)의 비 : 0.32, 0.49, 0.69, 0.8, 1)을 변화시켜 Wide band gap CIGS 박막태양전지를 만들었다. 기판은 soda line glass를 사용하였고 뒷면 전극으로는 Mo를 스퍼터링법으로 증착하였다. 또한 버퍼층으로는 기존에 쓰이고 있는 CdS를 CBD(Chemical Bath Deposition)법으로 층착시켰으며, 윈도우층으로는 i-ZnO/n-ZnO를 스파터링 법으로 층착하였다. 그리고 앞면전극으로는 Al을 E-beam 으로 증착하였다. 분석은 XRD, SEM, QE로 분석하였다. 위 실험에서 얻은 결과로는 Ga/(In+Ga)비가 증가할수록 Cu(In,Ga)Se2 박막은 회절 peak들이 큰 회절각으로 이동하였고, 이것은 Ga 원자와 In 원자의 원자반경의 차이에서 기인된 것으로 사료된다. 또한 Ga 조성이 증가할수록 단파장 쪽으로 이동하는 것을 볼 수 있으며, Voc가 증가하다가 에너지 밴드캡이 1.62 eV 이상에서는 Voc가 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있는데 이것은 Ga 조성이 증가할수록 에너지 밴드캡이 커지면서 defect level 이 존재하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. Ga/(In+Ga)비가 1일 때의 변환효율은 8.5 %이고， Voc : 0.74 (V), Jsc : 17.2 ($mA/cm^{2}$), F.F : 66.6(%) 이다.

The In this paper, we have fabricated the solution processed In-Ga-ZnO thin film transistors (IGZO TFTs) by varying indium and gallium ratio. The indium ratio of IGZO TFTs was changed from 1 to 5 at fixed gallium and zinc oxide atomic percent of 1:1 and gallium ratio was varied from 1 to 5 at fixed indium and zinc oxide atomic percent of 1:1. When the indium ratio was increased at fixed gallium and zinc oxide ratio of 1:1, threshold voltage was negatively shifted from 1.03 to -6.18 V and also mobility was increased from 0.018 to $0.076cm2/V{\cdot}sec$. It means that the number of carriers in IGZO TFTs were increased due to great formation of the oxygen vacancies which generate electrons. In contrast, when the gallium ratio was increased in IGZO TFTs with indium and zinc oxide ration of 1:1, the on/off current ratio was increased from $1.88{\times}104$ to $2.22{\times}105$. It is because gallium have stronger chemical bonds with oxygen than that with the zinc and indium ions that lead to the decreased in electron concentration.

CIGS 박막 태양전지는 제조단가가 낮고 박막 태양전지 중에서 변환효율이 가장 높아 발전 가능성이 큰 태양전지로 인식되고 있다. 이미 일본, 독일, 미국을 비롯한 선진국에서는 30-50 MW 급의 양산 라인이 구축되고 있어 2010년 이후에는 본격적인 상용화가 진행될 것으로 보인다. CIGS 광흡수층은 진공증발, 셀렌화, 나노입자, 전기도금등 다양한 방식으로 제조가 가능한데 이 중에서도 동시진공증발공정은 고효율 CIGS 박막 태양전지 제조에 적합하다. 본 연구에서는 동시진공증발법을 이용하여 CIGS 박막을 증착하였으며 소다회유리/Mo/CIGS/CdS/i-ZnO/n-ZnO/Al/AR 구조의 태양전지를 제조하였다. 기판온도 모니터링을 통한 Cu 이차상 조절 기술을 이용하여 결정립이 매우 큰 CIGS 박막을 증착하였으며 Ga/(In+Ga) 조성비의 조절을 통하여 밴드갭 에너지를 최적화하였다. 또한 QCM 장치를 활용하여 용액 속에서 성장되는 CdS 박막의 두께와 특성을 조절하였다. 이러한 공정최적화를 통하여 개방전압 0.65 V, 단락전류밀도 38.8 $mA/cm^2$, 충실도 0.74 그리고 변환효율 18.8% 의 CIGS 박막 태양전지를 얻었다.

The measurement of pH is of significant importance in chemistry, life sciences, and environmental monitoring. Unlike conventional pH sensors that utilize glass electrodes, thin-film transistor (TFT)-based pH sensors offer distinct advantages, including enhanced response speed and additional circuit functions. In this study, we developed a pH sensor that incorporates biocompatible parylene-C as both the substrate and sensing layer, thereby enhancing flexibility, transparency, and biological compatibility. We conducted tests to measure the voltage-current characteristics of the pH solutions and assessed their performance in terms of drift and hysteresis. Using InGaZnO (IGZO) as the channel material, our pH sensor demonstrated an average sensitivity of approximately 82 mV/pH, albeit with certain drift limitations. The initial pH measurements exhibited good reversibility over time. IGZO- and parylene-C-based TFT pH sensors are well suited for various applications, including wearable health monitoring, owing to their flexibility and biocompatibility.

O- and Zn-polar ZnO films were grown by DC magnetron sputtering. Growth of high-quality, single-crystal ZnO thin films were confirmed by XRD and pole figure analysis. O-polar ZnO was grown on an $Al_2O_3$ substrate, which was confirmed by a slow growth rate (378 nm/hr), a fast etching rate (59 nm/min), and by the hillocks on the surface after etching. Zn-polar ZnO was grown on a GaN/$Al_2O_3$ substrate, which was confirmed by a fast growth rate (550 nm/hr), a slow etching rate (28 nm/min), and by pits on the surface after etching. Results from the present study show that it is possible to use DC-sputtering to grow ZnO film with the same polarity as other epitaxial growth methods.
