Abstract

We have designed conductive transparent filters using a low-emissivity coating such as [dielectric|Ag|dielectric] for display applications. The design is the repetition of [$TiO_{2}$|Ti|Ag |$TiO_{2}$] to increase the transmittance in the visible and decrease the transmittance in the near IR. The conductive transparent filters are deposited by a radio frequency(RF) magnetron sputtering system. The optical, structural and electrical properties of the filters were investigated and the optical spectra are compared with simulated spectra. The thickness of the deposited Ag films is above 13 ㎚ to increase the conductivity and that of $TiO_{2}$ films is 24 ㎚ to increase the transmittance in the visible range. Ti blockers are employed to prevent the Ag films from being oxidized by an oxygen gas during the reactive sputtering process. Also, it is shown that the thicker Ti film is necessary as the period increases. Finally, a filter with repetition of the basic structure three times shows the better cut-off near infrared(NIR) and the sheet resistance as low as 2Ω/□ which is enough to shield an unnecessary electromagnetic waves for a display panel.

디스플레이 기기에 사용할 수 있는 전도성 투과필터를 저방출(low-emissivity) 코팅인 [유전체|Ag|유전체] 구조를 이용하여 설계하였다. [$TiO_{2}$|Ti|Ag|$TiO_{2}$] 구조를 반복하고 어드미턴스 방법을 이용하여 가시광선 영역의 투과율을 높이고, 근적외선의 투과율은 낮게 하였다. 전도성 투과필터를 radio frequency(RF) 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 증착하고 설계한 스펙트럼과 비교하였으며, 필터의 광학적, 구조적, 전기적 특성들을 조사하였다. Ag 박막의 두께는 전기전도성을 높이기 위해 13㎚ 이상으로 증착하고, $TiO_{2}$박막은 가시광선 영역에서 투과율이 최대가 되는 24㎚로 증착하였다. 또한 Ag 박막의 산화를 막기 위해 매우 얇은 Ti 산화방지막을 증착하였으며, 다층구조로 갈수록 산화방지막의 두께를 더 두껍게 증착해야 하는 것을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 [$TiO_{2}$|Ti|Ag|$TiO_{2}$] 기본구조를 3번 반복하여 증착한 필터는 근적외선 차단 효과가 우수하고, 전자파 장해(electromagnetic interference; EMI)를 효과적으로 방지할 수 있는 2Ω/□ 이하의 낮은 면저항을 보였다.
