We have investigated the effect of ambient gases on the structural, electrical, and optical characteristics of IZO thin films intended for use as anode contacts in the organic light emitting diodes (OLED) devices. These IZO thin films were deposited on the PES film by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering under different ambient gases (Ar, Ar + O2, and Ar + H2) at room temperature. In order to investigate the influences of the ambient gases, the flow rate of oxygen and hydrogen in argon has been changed from 0.1 sccm to 0.5 sccm, respectively. All the IZO thin film has an (222) preferential orientation regardless of ambient gases. The electrical resistivity of the IZO film increased with increasing O2 flow rate, whereas the electrical resistivity decreased sharply under an Ar + H2 atmosphere and was nearly similar regardless of the H2 flow rate. The change of electrical resistivity with changes in the ambient gas composition was mainly interpreted in terms of the charge carrier concentration rather than the charge carrier mobility. All the films showed the average transmittance over 85% in the visible range. The OLED device was fabricated with different IZO substrates made with the configuration of IZO/α-NPD/DPVB/Alq3/LiF/Al in order to elucidate the performance of the IZO substrate. The current density and the luminance of OLED devices with IZO thin films deposited in 0.5 sccm H2 ambient gas are the highest amongst all other films.

The new high temperature plasma source for spectrochemical analysis has been developed and characterized. In the development of new high temperature plasma sources for atomic emission spectrocopy, optimization of experimental variables is necessary to achieve the best analytical results. By means of a modified sequential simplex optimization method, six experimental variables were optimized. The line-to-background (L/B) ratio for Ca(II) at 393.37 nm was used as measure of the response function. The optimal experimental conditions were found to be at a current of 27.8 A, a plasma length of 28.8 mm, a sample uptake rate of 1.3 ml/min, a sample carrier gas flow rate of 0.7 ml/min, a plasma gas flow rate of 4.9 l/min, and an observation height of 6.4 mm above the top quartz tube.

이산화주석은 리튬 이온 전지의 Anode 전극물질, 또는 $H_2$, NO, $NO_2$ 등의 가스 분자가 표면에 흡착되면 전기저항이 변하는 특성을 이용하여 가스센서로 활용되고 있으며, 나노구조를 갖는 이산화주석의 합성과 관련하여 많은 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 나노구조물의 경우 Bulk 상태보다 체적 대비 표면적비가 높기 때문에 기체분자의 흡착확률을 높일 수 있으므로 고감도 가스 센서의 구현이 가능하고, Li-ion 이차전지의 경우에도 비정전용량을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 열화학기상증착 장비를 이용하여 기상수송방법으로 $SnO_2$ 나노구조물을 Si 기판 위에 직접 성장시켰다. 이때 이송가스로 이용되는 고순도 Ar 가스에 고순도 산소가스를 혼합하였고, 산소가스의 혼합량에 따라 다른 형태의 산화주석 나노구조물이 성장되는 것을 확인하였다. 기상수송방법으로 성장된 산화주석 나노구조물의 결정학적 특성은 Raman 분광학 및 XRD 분석을 통하여 확인하였고, 표면형상을 주사전자현미경을 통하여 확인하였다. 분석결과 산화주석 나노구조물은 산소가스 혼합량에 민감하게 영향을 받았으며, 이송가스로 이용되는 고순도 Ar 1000 SCCM에 고순도 산소가스 10 SCCM을 혼합하였을 때, 적당한 두께를 가지면서 Nanodots 형태의 표면형상을 갖는 $SnO_2$ 결정상의 나노구조물이 성장되는 것을 확인하였다.

Single crystal 3C-SiC(cubic silicon carbide) thin-films were deposited on Si(100) wafers up to a thickness of 4.3 ${\mu}m$ by APCVD method using HMDS(hexamethyildisilane) at $1350^{\circ}C$. The HMDS flow rate was 0.5 sccm and the carrier gas flow rate was 2.5 slm. The HMDS flow rate was important to get a mirror-like crystal surface. The growth rate of the 3C-SiC films was 4.3 ${\mu}m/hr$. The 3C-SiC epitaxial films grown on Si(100) were characterized by XRD, AFM, RHEED, XPS and raman scattering, respectively. The 3C-SiC distinct phonons of TO(transverse optical) near 796 $cm^{-1}$ and LO(longitudinal optical) near $974{\pm}1cm^{-1}$ were recorded by raman scattering measurement. The hetero-epitaxially grown films were identified as the single crystal 3C-SiC phase by XRD spectra($2{\theta}=41.5^{\circ}$).

초산발효 중 에탄올 농도를 On-line으로 측정하기 위해 막가스 센서를 개발하였다. 에탄올이 함유된 발효액은 실리콘막을 통해 투과되고 Carrier gas로 사용된 Synthetic air에 의해 운반되어 반도체형 가 스센서에 감지되도록 설계하였다. 이 때 실리콘막의 두께가 O.5mm이고 Carrier gas의 유속이 20ml/mim이었을 때 막가스 센서의 감도가 가장 높았다. 막가스센셔의 저항치는 측정하고자 하는 에탄올 농 도에 따라 변하였고 이 저항치는 전위차로 변환되어 출력되었다. 제작된 막가스센서의 Calibration CUf ve를 작성하였고 실제로 조업 중인 초산 발효조의 발효액 중 에단올 농도의 On-line 측정이 가능하였 으며 이를 Gas chromatography에 의한 분석치와 비교한 결과 에단올 농도가 $0∼70g/\ell$의 범위에서 서로 상관관계를 나타내어 이러한 막가스센서가 초산발효와 같은 여러 생물공정의 모니터링과 제어에 이용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

NiO buffer layers were deposited on texture Ni tapes fur YBCO coated conductors by MOCVD(metal organic chemical vapor deposition) method, using a single solution source. Variables were deposition temperature and flow rate of $0_2$carrier gas. At higher temperatures, The NiO(111) texture was well developed, but the NiO(200) texture was developed at low temperatures. The best result was obtained at the deposition temperature of$ 470^{\circ}C$ and the gas flow rate of 200 sccm. FWHM value of $\omega$-scan fur NiO(200) of the film and $\Phi$-scan for NiO(111) of the film was $4.2^{\circ}$ and $7^{\circ}$, respectively.

Silicon carbide coating has been studied using a graphite substrate, a mixture of tetramethylsilane and hydrogen or argon at deposition temperature (T) of 950 to $1200^{\circ}C$ total pressure of 20 to 50 torr and carrier gas flow rate of 0 to 901/h. Deposition kinetic study has shown that a transition, from a surface reaction limited process to a diffusion limited one, takes place near $1100^{\circ}C$. Deposition rate depends directly upon the experimental parameters. The influence of the main process parameters is also discussed to relate the physiochemical properties of the coating to the deposition conditions.

In this paper, silicon nitride thin films with different silane and ammonia gas ratios were deposited and characterized for the antireflection and passivation layer of high efficiency single crystalline silicon solar cells. As the flow rate of the ammonia gas increased, the refractive index decreased and the band gap increased. Consequently, the transmittance increased due to the higher band gap and the decrease of the defect states which existed for the 1.68 and 1.80 eV in the SiNx films. The reduction in the carrier lifetime of the SiNx films deposited by using a higher $NH_3/SiH_4$ flow ratio was caused by the increase of the interface traps and the defect states in/on the interface between the SiNx and the silicon wafer. The silicon and nitrogen rich films are not suitable for generating both higher carrier lifetimes and transmittance. These results indicate that the band gap and the defect states of the SiNx films should be carefully controlled in order to obtain the maximum efficiency for c-Si solar cells.
