Indium doped zinc oxide films (ZIO) were deposited on non-alkali glass substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The structural, electrical and optical properties of the ZIO films were investigated as a function of their $In_2O_3$ content (3.33-15.22 wt%). The ZIO films deposited with an $In_2O_3$ content of 9.54 wt% showed a relatively low resistivity of $9.13{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and a highly c-axis preferred orientation. The grain size and FWHM were mainly affected by the $In_2O_3$ content. The crystallinity and resistivity were enhanced with increasing grain size. The average transmittance of the ZIO films was over 85% in the visible region and their band gap varied from 3.22 to 3.66 eV depending on their doping ratio.

Grating 이 형성된 SiO$_2$ 기판상에 ZnO 박막을 graphoepitaxy 법으로 형성시킬 것을 제안하고 그 가능성을 고찰하였다. Si(100) 기판상에 노광작업(photolithograpy)을 이용하여 요철구조를 형성시킨 다음 자연산화를 시켜서 SiO$_2$ 기판을 제작하였고, 제작된 요철구조 위에 열증착 법으로 Zn 를 증착 시킨 후 이를 산화 시켜서 ZnO 박막을 형성 시켰다. 또한 열처리에 의한 결정성의 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 700 ${\sim}$ 900 $^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 하였다. 제작된 시료는 Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)로 표면을 관찰하였으며, Photoluminescence (PL) 을 이용하여 결정성의 변화를 관찰하였다.

Semiconductors with ferromagnetism at room temperature has been actively searched for in recent years; a prospect of devices using both charge and spin continuously gives impetus to the activities. Transition metal doped oxide materials have been of particular interest. Co substituted ZnO [1] and TiO$_2$ [2] thin films, for example, were reported to show ferromagnetic properties at room temperature. However, various studies do not seem to converge on a definite picture [3,4,5]. The issue is rather fundamental: whether a system shows ferromagnetic properties at all, and in case it does, whether the system possesses a close coupling between magnetism and transport properties. In this talk, we shall assess the current status of transition metal doped oxide materials as room temperature ferromagnetic semiconductors.

Transparent conductive Oxide (TCO) is an essential material in the various optoelectronic applications as a transparent electrode, such as solar cells, flat panel displays and organic light emitting diodes. Currently, Indium tin oxide (ITO) is commonly used in industry due to its low electrical resistivity, high transmittance and high adhesion to substrate. However, ITO is expensive and should be prepared at high temperature, which makes it hard to use ITO in flexible devices. In this regard, Ga-doped ZnO is expected as an ideal candidate for replacing ITO.

직류 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 성장 온도($T_s$)를 변화시키면서 제작한 $In_2O_3$:Zn(IZO) 박막의 전기적, 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. $T_s$<$300^{\circ}C$에서 제작한 IZO 박막은 비정질이었고, $350^{\circ}C$＜$T_s$인 경우 결정질이었다. 일반적인 물질과 달리 특이하게도 IZO가 비정질일 때 전기 전도도와 광투과도 모두 결정질일 경우 보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 비정질 IZO 박막의 경우 비저항의 값은 0.29~0.4m$\Omega$cm 이었으며 결정질 박막의 경우 1~4m$\Omega$cm이었다. IZO 박막내의 전하는 n형이고 전하농도(${n}_H$)는 $3~5{\times}10^{20}/cm^3$, 전하 유동도($({\mu}_H)$ )는 20-$50\textrm{cm}^2$/V.sec이었다. 비정질 및 결정질 IZO 박막내의 주된 전자의 충돌 과정은 이온화된 불순물과 격자 충돌로 추정된다. IZO 박막의 가시광 영역(400<$\lambda$<700mm)의 광투과도는 80%이상이었고 $T_s$가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

The effects of electron beam(EB) irradiation on the electrical and optical properties of InGaZnO(IGZO) thin films fabricated using a sol-gel process were investigated. As the EB dose increased, the electrical characteristic of the IGZO TFTs changed from semiconductor to conductor, and the threshold voltage values shifted to the negative direction. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of the O 1s core level showed that the relative area of oxygen vacancies increased from 14.68 to 19.08 % as the EB dose increased from 0 to $1.5{\times}10^{16}electrons/cm^2$. In addition, spectroscopic ellipsometer analysis showed that the optical band gap varied from 3.39 to 3.46 eV with increasing EB dose. From the result of band alignment, it was confirmed that the Fermi level($E_F$) of the sample irradiated with $1.5{\times}10^{16}electrons/cm^2$ was located at the closest position to the conduction band minimum(CBM) due to the increase of electron carrier concentration.

RF magnetron sputtering 법을 이용하여 quartz 기판 위에 spinel 구조의 $ZnGa_2O_4 : Mn^{2+}$ 박막 형광체를 상온에서 증착 하였다. 후 열처리 온도에 따라 박막의 결정성, 표면 거칠기와 조성비가 변하였으며 이는 박막 형광체의 발광특성에 영향을 주었다. 후 열처리 온도가 $500^{\circ}C$에서 $900^{\circ}C$로 올라감에 따라 후 열처리 온도가 $700^{\circ}C$ 일 때 가장 낮은 수치의 표면 거칠기를 보였고 이로 인한 낮은 외부 양자 효율로 인하여 발광특성이 좋지 않았다. 후 열처리 온도가 $800^{\circ}C$ 일 때 결정화 정도가 좋았으며 적당한 표면 거칠기와 화학적 조성비로 인해 최적의 발광특성을 보였다. 반면 후 열처리 온도가 $900^{\circ}C$ 일 때 결정성은 가장 좋았으나 Zn의 높은 증기압으로 인한 화학적 조성비의 깨짐으로 발광특성이 좋지 못하였다.

In this research, we prepared Ga doped zinc oxide(ZnO:Ga, GZO) targets each difference sintering temperature $700^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$, and doping rate 1 wt.%, 2 wt.%, 3 wt.%. The characteristics of thin film on glass substrates which deposited by facing target sputtering in pure Ar atmosphere are reported. Ga doped zinc oxide film is attracted material through low resistivity, high transmittance, etc. When prepared target powder's structure was investigated by scanning electron microscope, densification and coarsening by driving force was observed. For each ZnO:Ga films with a $Ga_2O_3$ content of 3 wt.% at input power of 45W, the lowest resistivity of $9.967{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ ($700^{\circ}C$) and $9.846{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ ($800^{\circ}C$) was obtained. the carrier concentration and mobility were $4.09{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$($700^{\circ}C$), $4.12{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$($800^{\circ}C$) and $15.31cm^2/V{\cdot}s(700^{\circ}C)$, $12.51cm^2/V{\cdot}s(800^{\circ}C)$, respectively. And except 1 wt.% Ga doped ZnO thin film, average transmittance of these samples in the range 350-800 nm was over 80%.

In this study, the effects of Mn-doping and the electrode materials on the memory characteristics of $ZnO_xS_{1-x}$ resistive random access memory (ReRAM) devices on plastic are investigated. Compared with the undoped Al/$ZnO_xS_{1-x}$/Au and Al/$ZnO_xS_{1-x}$/Cu devices, the Mn-doped ones show a relatively higher ratio of the high resistance state (HRS) to low resistance state (LRS), and narrower resistance distributions in both states. For the $ZnO_xS_{1-x}$ devices with bottom electrodes of Cu, more stable conducting filament paths are formed near these electrodes, due to the relatively higher affinity of copper to sulfur, compared with the devices with bottom electrodes of Au, so that the distributions of the set and reset voltages get narrower. For the Al/$ZnO_xS_{1-x}$/Cu device, the ratio of the HRS to LRS is above $10^6$, and the memory characteristics are maintained for $10^4$ sec, which values are comparable to those of ReRAM devices on Si or glass substrates.

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.
