We prepared Al doped ZnO thin film as a top electrode on a glass substrate with a deposited $Alq_3$ for the top emission organic Light emitting device (TEOLED) with facing target sputtering (FTS) method and radio-frequency (RF) sputtering method, respectively. Before the deposition of AZO thin film, we evaporated the $Alq_3$ on glass substrate by thermal evaporation. And we evaluated the damage of organic layer. As a result, PL intensity of $Alq_3$ on grown by FTS method showed higher than that of grown by RF sputtering method, so we found that the FTS showed the lower damage sputtering than RF sputtering. Therefore, we can expect the FTS method is promising the low-damage sputtering system that can be used as a direct sputtering on the organic layer.

AZO/Ag/AZO multi-layer films deposited on glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering and thermal evaporator have a much better electrical properties than Al-doped ZnO thin films. The multi-layer structure consisted of three layers, AZO/Ag/AZO, the electrical and optical properties of AZO/Ag/AZO were changed mainly by thickness of Ag layers. The optimum thickness of Ag layers was determined to be $90{\AA}$ for high optical transmittance and good electrical conductivity. The Ag layers thickness $90{\AA}$ is an optical transmittance greater than 80% of visible light and the obtained multilayer thin film with the low resistivity of $8.05{\times}10-3{\Omega}cm$ and the low sheet resistance $5.331{\Omega}/sq$. Applying to TCO and Solar electrode will improve efficiency.

In this Study, Mo back electrode were deposited as the functions of various working pressure, deposition time and plasma per-treatment on sodalime glass (SLG) for application to CIGS thin film solar cell using by DC sputtering method, and were analyzed Mo change to $MoSe_2$ layer through selenization processes. And finally Mo back electrode characteristics were evaluated as application to CIGS device after Al/AZO/ZnO/CdS/CIGS/Mo/SLG fabrication. Mo films fabricated as a function of the working pressure from 1.3 to 4.9mTorr are that physical thickness changed to increase from 1.24 to 1.27 ${\mu}m$ and electrical characteristics of sheet resistance changed to increase from 0.195 to 0.242 ${\Omega}/sq$ as according to the higher working pressure. We could find out that Mo film have more dense in lower working pressure because positive Ar ions have higher energy in lower pressure when ions impact to Mo target, and have dominated (100) columnar structure without working pressure. Also Mo films fabricated as a function of the deposition time are that physical thickness changed to increase from 0.15 to 1.24 ${\mu}m$ and electrical characteristics of sheet resistance changed to decrease from 2.75 to 0.195 ${\Omega}/sq$ as according to the increasing of deposition time. This is reasonable because more thick metal film have better electrical characteristics. We investigated Mo change to $MoSe_2$ layer through selenization processes after Se/Mo/SLG fabrication as a function of the selenization time from 5 to 40 minutes. $MoSe_2$ thickness were changed to increase as according to the increasing of selenization time. We could find out that we have to control $MoSe_2$ thickness to get ohmic contact characteristics as controlling of proper selenization time. And we fabricated and evaluated CIGS thin film solar cell device as Al/AZO/ZnO/CdS/CIGS/Mo/SLG structures depend on Mo thickness 1.2 ${\mu}m$ and 0.6 ${\mu}m$. The efficiency of CIGS device with 0.6 ${\mu}m$ Mo thickness is batter as 9.46% because Na ion of SLG can move to CIGS layer more faster through thin Mo layer. The adhesion characteristics of Mo back electrode on SLG were improved better as plasma pre-treatment on SLG substrate before Mo deposition. And we could expect better efficiency of CIGS thin film solar cell as controlling of Mo thickness and $MoSe_2$ thickness depend on Na effect and selenization time.

Plutomic rocks of the Mabogsan, located in the southestern part of the Koheung Eup are composed of granite gneiss, diorite, biotite grantie and granophyre. On the basis of Rb-Ba-Sr diagram, the diorires are plotted from granodiorite to quartz diortie, the biotite granites from granodiortie to anomalous granite and the granophyres in normal granite filed. The plutonic rocks tend to show the I-type characteristics in terns of ACF diagram, $K_2O-Na_2O$ diagram and $Al_2O_3/Na_2O+K_2O+CaO$ diafram, while have values of ilmenite series in magnetic subseptibility. The plutons could have formed in the tectonic environment of VAG+COLG+ORG based on the silica vs. trace element diagrams. Gold contents with major and trace elements have been determined for 21 granophyres, 13 biotite granites and 4 diorites are; (1) for the diorite, the rangs is 0.508~1.73 ppb with an average of 0.5ppb;(2) for the biotite granites, the range is 0.449~13.5ppb with an average of 3 ppb;(3)for the granphyres, the range is 0.508~23.1ppb with an average of 4.5ppb. The gold content of the studied plutons tends to increase from mafic to felsic rocks. Gold contents tend to show positive correlations with those of Ag and Zn, negative correlations with those of As, Ba and Rb. The copper contents of the plutons are comparatively high. Average copper contents of diorite, biotite granite and granophyre are 710ppm, 587ppm and 484ppm, respectively. The copper contents of the plutons tend to have good correlations with those of Ag, Bi and Pb.

In order to gain better understanding of the selective surface oxidation and its influence on the galvanizability of a transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) assisted steel containing 1.5 wt.% Si and 1.6 wt.% Mn, a model experiment has been carried out by depositing Si and Mn (each with a nominal thickness of 10 nm) in either monolayers or bilayers on a low-alloy interstitial-free (IF) steel sheet. After intercritical annealing at $800^{\circ}C$ in a $N_2$ ambient with a dew point of $-40^{\circ}C$, the surface scale formed on 590 MPa TRIP steel exhibited a microstructure similar to that of the scale formed on the Mn/Si bilayer-coated IF steel, consisting of $Mn_{2}SiO_{4}$ particles embedded in an amorphous $SiO_{2}$ film. The present study results indicated that, during the intercritical annealing process of 590 MPa TRIP steel, surface segregation of Si occurs first to form an amorphous $SiO_{2}$ film, which in turn accelerates the out-diffusion of Mn to form more stable Mn-Si oxide particles on the steel surface. During hot-dip galvanizing, particulate $Fe_{3}O_{4}$, MnO, and Si-Mn oxides were reduced more readily by Al in a Zn bath than the amorphous $SiO_{2}$ film. Therefore, in order to improve the galvanizability of 590 TRIP steel, it is most desirable to minimize the surface segregation of Si during the intercritical annealing process.

Transparent BNO thin films were grown on Al-doped ZnO (AZO)/Ag/AZO/polyethersulfon (PES) (abbreviated as AAAP) transparent electrodes at a low temperature by the NCD technique. The BNO films grown on the crystallized AZO/Ag/AZO (AAA) electrodes exhibit an amorphous phase with a root mean square (rms) roughness of approximately 2 nm in the range of deposition temperature. The capacitors (Pt/BNO/AAAP) with BNO films grown at $100^{\circ}C$ show a dielectric constant of 24 and dissipation factor of 8% at 100 kHz, a leakage current density of about $8{\times}10^{-6}A/cm^2$ at an applied voltage of 1.0V. The optical transmittances of the BNO/AAAP exhibited above 80% at wavelength of 550nm at all of deposition temperature. The mechanical stability of the BNO/AAA as well as AAA electrode with the PES substrates through the bending was ensured for flexible electronic device applications. The transparent BNO capacitors grown on AAAP are powerful candidate for integration with the transparent solar cells.

현재 박막형 태양전지는 실리콘계가 주류를 이루고 있으며, 유리기판 또는 유연성 기판에 비정질 실리콘 박막을 형성시킨 태양전지와 실리콘 기판 양면에 태양전지를 형성하는 방법 등 효율을 극대화시킨 이종접합 태양전지 등이 연구되고 있다. 예컨대 밴드갭이 서로 다른 박막들 간의 이종접합을 이용한 tandem 구조 및 triple 구조의 Si 박막 태양전지의 경우 13%대 변환효율을 나타낸다고 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 비정질 Si 박막 태양전지 내 흡수층의 효율을 최대화하기 위하여 AZO/Ag 이중구조 박막의 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하고자 한다. combinatorial sputtering system을 이용하여 AZO/Ag 이중구조 박막을 제작하였으며 타겟으로는 4-inch target(Ag, 2wt% Al2O3 doped ZnO)이 사용되었다. 유리기판 상에 combinatorial sputter system으로 상온에서 제작된 Ag 박막의 두께는 25nm로 성장시켰으며 연속공정으로 AZO 박막을 제작하였고, AZO 박막은 100~500nm의 두께경사를 나타내었다. 이 때 유리기판상에 성장된 Ag/AZO 박막의 면저항은 약 $2{\Omega}/{\Box}$ 값을 나타내었다. 본 발표에서는 AZO/Ag 이중 구조 박막의 우수한 전기적 특성을 기반으로 표면 거칠기 및 반사도 특성 등에 관하여 추가적으로 토론한다.

본 논문은 직류전원에 펄스주파수를 인가함으로써 AZO 박막이 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보기 위해 기존과는 다른 형태인 원통형의 회전(Cylindrical rotatable)하는 방식을 가진 DC magnetron sputter를 이용하였다. 인가되는 전력과 압력, 온도 그리고 거리는 각각 고정하였고 펄스 주파수 가변을 통해 박막의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 그리고 SEM등의 다양한 특성에 대해 확인하였다. 박막의 광학적 특성인 투과도를 알아보기 위해 UV-Vis를 이용하여 측정하였고 가변 범위에 관계없이 550 nm의 파장 길이에서 약 90%의 투과도를 보였다. 그리고 펄스주파수가 증가할수록 XRD의 Intensity는 오히려 감소되는 경향을 보였고, 홀 측정을 통해 비저항의 증가와 전자농도 증가, 감소된 홀 이동도를 통해 증가된 펄스 주파수가 박막의 구조적, 전기적 특성이 얼마나 많은 영향을 끼치는지 또한 알 수 있었다. 그리고 펄스주파수는 면저항과 홀 이동도의 감소 요인이며 이것은 XRD의 결과로 확인하였다. 펄스주파수가 향후 박막 태양전지 및 TFT와 NVM 등의 소자를 적용하는데 있어 중요한 요소 중의 하나로 판단할 수 있다.
