  • 박막 실리콘 태양 전지는 저가격화 및 대량생산, 대면적화에 유리하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 단점으로 지적되는 낮은 효율을 극복하기 위해 광흡수층의 밴드갭이 서로 다른 두 개 이상의 박막을 적층하여, 넓은 파장 대역의 빛을 효과적으로 흡수함으로써 광변환 효율을 올리기 위한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 서로 다른 밴드갭의 광흡수층을 가진 p-i-n 구조를 다중 적층하여 고효율의 태양 전지를 제작하기 위해서는 n-도핑층과, p-도핑층 간에 전자와 정공이 빠르게 재결합할 수 있는 터널 접합(Tunnel Recombination Junction)의 형성이 필수적이며, 이때 광손실이 최소화되도록 해야한다. 만약 터널 접합이 적절하게 형성되지 않으면 결합되지 않은 전자와 정공이 도핑층 사이에 쌓이게 되고, 도핑층 사이의 저항 증가로 태양 전지의 광변환 효율은 크게 하락한다. 이번 연구에서는 터널 접합이 잘 이루어지게 하기 위한 n-도핑층 및 p-도핑층 박막의 특성과, 터널 접합의 특성에 따른 적층형 태양 전지의 광효율 변화를 확인하였다. 광흡수층 및 도핑층은 TCO($SnO_2:F$, Asahi) 유리 기판 위에 PECVD를 사용하여 p-i-n 구조로 RF Power 조건에서 증착되었고, ${\mu}c$-Si 광흡수층의 경우에는 VHF Power 조건에서 증착되었다. 광흡수층이 a-Si/${\mu}c$-Si의 구조를 가지는 이중 접합 태양 전지에서 ${\mu}c$-Si n-도핑층/${\mu}c$-Si p-도핑층 사이의 터널 접합 실험 결과 n-도핑층 및 p-도핑층의 결정화도와 도핑 농도를 조절하여 터널 접합의 저항을 최소화했고, 터널 접합 특성이 이중 접합 셀의 광효율 특성과 유사한 경향을 보임을 확인하였다. 광흡수층이 a-Si/a-SiGe/${\mu}c$-Si의 구조를 가지는 삼중 접합 태양 전지 실험의 경우 a-Si과 a-SiGe 광흡수층 사이에 ${\mu}c$-Si n-도핑층/${\mu}c$-Si p-도핑층/a-SiC p-도핑층의 구조를 적용하여 터널 접합을 형성하였으며, ${\mu}c$-Si p-도핑층의 두께 및 박막 특성을 개선하여 광손실이 최소화된 터널 접합을 구현하였고, 삼중 접합 태양 전지에 적용되었다.

  • The electronic structure and properties of the 1H-indene and mono-sila-1H-indene series have been investigated using basis set of 6-31G(d, p) and hybrid density functional theory. Basic measures of aromatic character derived from structure, molecular orbitals, a variety of magnetic criteria (magnetic isotropic and anisotropic susceptibilities) are considered. Energetic criteria suggest that In(Si7) enjoy conspicuous stabilization. However, by magnetic susceptibility isotropic this system are among the least aromatic of the family: Within their isomer series, In(Si4) is the most aromatic using this criteria. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis method was performed for the investigation of the relative stability and the nature of the 8-9 bonds in 1H-indene and mono-sila-1H-indene compounds. The results explained that how the p character of natural atomic hybrid orbital on X8 and X9 (central bond) is increased by the substitution of the C8 and C9 by Si. Actually, the results suggested that in these compounds, the X8-X9 bond lengths are closely controlled by the p character of these hybrid orbitals and also by the nature of C-Si bonds. The magnitude of the molecular stabilization energy associated to delocalization from X8-X9 and to * X8-X9 bond orbital were also quantitatively determined. Molecular orbital (MO) analysis further reveal that all structure has three delocalized MOs and two delocalized MOs and therefore exhibit the aromaticity.

  • Thermally grown gate oxide on 4H-SiC wafer was investigated. The oxide layers were grown at l150$^{\circ}C$ varying the carrier gas and post activation annealing conditions. Capacitance-Voltage(C-V) characteristic curves were obtained and compared using various gate electrode such as Al, Ni and poly-Si. The interface trap density can be reduced by using post oxidation annealing process in Ar atmosphere. All of the samples which were not performed a post oxidation annealing process show negative oxide effective charge. The negative oxide effective charges may come from oxygen radical. After the post oxidation annealing, the oxygen radicals fixed and the effective oxide charge become positive. The effective oxide charge is negative even in the annealed sample when we use poly silicon gate. Poly silicon layer was dope by POCl$_3$ process. The oxide layer may be affected by P ions in poly silicon layer due to the high temperature of the POCl$_3$ doping process.

  • For the Pt-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of enones, Pt complexes were employed in the presence of various phosphine ligands and $H_2\;(or\;Et_3SiH),$ affording inter- and intra-molecular coupling products in good to modest yield. Depending on reaction protocols, different phosphine ligands were required to optimize the conditions. In the aldol reaction, the Pt catalyst involving $P(2,4,6-(OMe)_3C_6H_2)3\;or\;P(p-OMeC_6H_4)_3$ was chosen. Michael reaction proceeds in good yields in the presence of $P(p-CF_3C_6H_4)_3$. Regarding the activity of the reductants, $H_2$ exhibited superior activity to $Et_3SiH$, resulting in a shorter reaction time and higher yield in the aldol and Michael reaction. In light of the deuterium labeling studies, the catalytic cycle including the hydrometalation of the enones by the platinum hydride species was proposed.

  • In this work, we investigated the static characteristics of 4H-SiC vertical metal-oxidesemiconductor field effect transistors (VMOSFETs) by adjusting the doping level of n-epilayer and the effect of a current spreading layer (CSL), which was inserted below the p-base region with highly doped n+ state ($5{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$). The structure of SiC VMOSFET was designed by using a 2-dimensional device simulator (ATLAS, Silvaco Inc.). By varying the n-epilayer doping concentration from $1{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$ to $1{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$, we investigated the static characteristics of SiC VMOSFETs such as blocking voltages and on-resistances. We found that CSL helps distribute the electron flow more uniformly, minimizing current crowding at the top of the drift region and reducing the drift layer resistance. For that reason, silicon carbide VMOSFET structures of highly intensified blocking voltages with good figures of merit can be achieved by adjusting CSL and doping level of n-epilayer.

  • For connector material applications, the influence alloying elements of Mn, Cr, Fe, and Ti and cold rolling reduction on the mechanical property, electrical conductivity and bendiability of Cu-Ni-Si-P alloy was investigated. The hot rolled plates were solution treated at $980^{\circ}C$ for 1.5 h, quenched into water, cold rolled by 10% and 30% reduction in thickness, and then aged at $440{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ for 3, 4, 5 times. respectively. Cu-Ni-Si-P-x alloys cold rolled by 10 reduction before heat treatment have a good bendability compare to cold rolled by 30 reduction. Cu-3.4Ni-0.8Si-0.03P-0.1Ti shows the peak strength value of 759 MPa, an electrical conductivity of 39%IACS, an elongation of 10% and a hardness of 256 Hv aged at $440^{\circ}C$ for 6 hrs. Thus it is suitable for lead frame and connector.

  • This paper describes the elecrtical and optical characteristics of $N_2$ doped porous 3C-SiC films. Polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films are anodized by $HF+C_2H_5OH$ solution with UV-LED exposure. The growth of in-situ doped 3C-SiC thin films on p-type Si (100) wafers is carried out by using APCVD (atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) with a single-precursor of HMDS (hexamethyildisilane: $Si_2(CH_3)_6)$. 0 ~ 40 sccm $N_2$ was used for doping. After the growth of doped 3C-SiC, porous 3C-SiC is formed by anodization with $7.1\;mA/cm^2$ current density for anodization time of 60 sec. The average pore diameter is about 30 nm, and etched area is increased with $N_2$ doping rate. These results are attributed to the decrease of crystallinity by $N_2$ doping. Mobility is dramatically decreased in porous 3C-SiC. The band gaps of polycrystalline 3C-SiC films and doped porous 3C-SiC are 2.5 eV and 2.7 eV, respectively.

  • A wear behavior of electroless (Ni-P-X, X: SiC, $Al_2O_3$, Diamond) composite coating layers, formed under various conditions on commerical grade low carbon steel, has been investigated using Taber abrasion tester and scanning electron microscope. Several factors, which are type of particles, co-deposited content, particle size, distribution of particles and heat-treatment, influenced the wear resistance. The wear resistance of the composited coating layers after heat-treatment at $400^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr was increased 70 times with diamond, 15 times with SiC and 8 times with $Al_2O_3$, compared with the electroless nickel plating layer without heat-treatment.
