The electrical resistivity showed the lowest value of 1.47×$10^{-3}$/Ω·㎝ for composite by pressureless annealing temperature 1900℃ at 25℃. The electrical resistivity of the α-SiC-WC composites was all positive temperature cofficient resistance (PTCR) in the temperature ranges from 25℃ to 500℃.

Amorphous silicon (a-Si) films are used in a broad range of solar cell, flat panel display, and sensor. Because of the greater ease of deposition and lower processing temperature, thin films are widely used for thin film transistors (TFTs). However, they have lower stability under the exposure of visible light and because of their low field effect mobility ($\mu$$_{FE}$ ) , less than 1 c $m^2$/Vs, they require a driving IC in the external circuits. On the other hand, polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin films have superiority in $\mu$$_{FE}$ and optical stability in comparison to a-Si film. Many researches have been done to obtain high performance poly-Si because conventional methods such as excimer laser annealing, solid phase crystallization and metal induced crystallization have several difficulties to crystallize. In this paper, a new crystallization process using a molybdenum substrate has been proposed. As we use a flexible substrate, high temperature treatment and roll-to-roll process are possible. We have used a high temperature process above 75$0^{\circ}C$ to obtain poly-Si films on molybdenum substrates by a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) of the amorphous silicon (a-Si) layers. The properties of high temperature crystallized poly-Si studied, and poly-Si has been used for the fabrication of TFT. By this method, we are able to achieve high crystal volume fraction as well as high field effect mobility.

Since DC ground resistance, which is a good index of the performance of a grounding system in low frequency. does not show the performance in transient state. We measured ground impedances in frequency domain ranging from 0.1 Hz to 900 KHz maximum to quantify the transient grounding performance of 4 types of grounding system. Transfer function was derived from the measured frequency-dependant ground impedance of a grounding grid. A simulation has been performed to verify the transfer function using EMTP (Electro-Magnetic Transient Program).

In order to analyze the frequency dependance of ground impedance in grounding grids for lightning and surge protection, a novel method for measuring the ground impedance as a function of frequency were experimentally investigated. The experiments were carried out in rectangular grounding grids with $6{\times}8$ conductors of 22 $mm^2$ buried at a depth of 0.5 m. The test current was injected by the variable frequency inverter whose frequency is linearly controlled for the established period in the range of 5∼500 KHz. The amplitude and phase of ground impedance were calculated from the waveforms of the test current and ground potential rise measured by the band-pass filter tuned in a specific frequency. The frequency dependence of ground impedance was mainly caused by the inductive current flowing through grounding conductors over the frequency of 100 KHz. The proposed measurement method of ground impedance would be applicable to evaluate the transient response characteristics in lightning protection grounding systems.

The purpose of this experiment is to modify diagnosis criterion of isothermal relaxation current(IRC) measurement equipment which is using for distribution cable diagnosis. We're using this system for several years in the field instead of DC leakage current measurement and lots of cables were replaced. But we have to investigate on the reliability of this equipment for our cables because we didn't carried out condition assessment of extracted cables after field diagnosis by this equipment. It is important thing for cable maintenance. If the replacement criterion is improper we can not prevent failures or will waste budget on account of replacement of the sound cables. In this paper we selected field installed cables and injected silicone fluid to the cables for insulation rehabilitation. In order to prove reliability of the diagnosis equipment we compared diagnosis results and AC breakdown strength according to operating time after silicone treatment. This is the results of the field test for 1 year.

Recently the pulsed power systems have been widely used in many fields such as E/P(Electrostatic Precipitator), DeNOx/DeSOx power systems, ozone generators and power sources of the laser beam. In this paper, we studied various electrical characteristics for arc suppression of line-to-line electrodes in air and removal of the metaloxide using our pulsed power system. To obtain high efficiency of the pulsed power system, we repeatedly experimented and tested their characteristics. by adjusting electrode length of the load. As a result, when the value of the electrode length and pulse repetition rate were changed at the load, the value of the arc voltage changed at the electrode load. In conclusion, we controlled arc voltage of the load by ,changing electrode length and pulse repetition rate. Also. we stydied removal area of the metaloxide using area discharge according to pulse repetition rate.

A high voltage pulse generator with a rotator airhole spark gap instead of a rotary ball spark gap has been proposed and investigated. Its feasibility as a high voltage pulse generator is compared with the rotary ball spark gap type one. Parametric studies showed that proposed the rotary airhole type spark gap had a very stable breakdown voltage and reliable pulse repetition time compared with the conventional rotary ball type spark gap. This however showed that the proposed pulse generator with a rotary airhole spark gap instead of a rotary ball spark gap could be potentially used as a very stable and reliable pulse generator in the various fields of applications.

This paper analyzed the phase noise characteristics of frequency-shifting module by figuring out the relationship between the phase noise components of 1st and 2nd local oscillator composing the frequency-shifting module and those of RF output signals shifted in frequency. Also, frequency-shifting module with the improvement of the phase noise performance was designed and implemented by means that the phase noise components of 1st local oscillator were cancelled in the output signal. Output signal has been affected by only phase noise of 2nd local oscillator, which had excellent phase noise performance than that of the 1st local oscillator.

In this paper, low noise amplifier(LNA), aperture coupled patch antenna and $4{\times}4$ array antenna are designed in the frequency range from 11.7㎓ to 12㎓. Array antennas with and without LNA at the antenna element are fabricated and the performances are measured including noise figure(NF). The noise figure calculation for overall system was conducted and compared with the measured data to verify our measurement method. The measured overall noise figure of the array antenna with LNA at the antenna element is lower than that of array without LNA as expected.

In this study, an integrated microelectrode array was fabricated on glass slide using microfabrication technology. Probe DNAs consisting of mercaptohexyl moiety at their 5-end were spotted on the gold electrode using micropipette or DNA arrayer utilizing the affinity between gold and sulfur. Cyclic voltammetry in 5mM ferricyanide/ferrocyanide solution at 100 ㎷/s confirmed the immobilization of probe DNA on the gold electrodes. When several DNAs were detected electrochemically, there was a difference between target DNA and control DNA in the anodic peak current values. It was derived from specific binding of Hoechst 33258 to the double stranded DNA due to hybridization of target DNA. It suggested that this DNA chip could recognize the sequence specific genes. It suggested that multichannel electrochemical DNA microarray is useful to develop a portable device for clinical gene diagnostic System.
