To investigate the scattering layer effect of a $TiO_2$ multilayer in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), we designed a new DSSC system, assembled with a CdS-$TiO_2$ scattering layer electrode. A high-magnification SEM image exhibited hollyhock-like particles with a width of 1.5-2.0 ${\mu}m$ that were aggregated into 10-nm clumps in a hexagonal petal shape. The efficiency was higher in the DSSC assembled with a CdS-$TiO_2$ scattering layer than in the DSSC assembled with $TiO_2$-only layers, due to the decreased resistance in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The short-circuit current density ($J_{sc}$) was increased by approximately 7.26% and the open-circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$) by 2.44% over the 1.0 wt % CdS-$TiO_2$ composite scattering layer and the incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) in the maximum peak was also enhanced by about 5.0%, compared to the DSSC assembled without the CdS-$TiO_2$scattering layer.

In this paper, we proposed a new type SIR bandpass filter using DAML. This filter is consisted of 2 layers with MEMS resonator layer and CPW feed line. DAML ring resonator is elevated with $10\;{\mu}m$ height from GaAs substrate. Using MEMS processing, we are able to realize SIR bandpass filter easily. Furthermore it is useful to integrate on conventional MMICs because it has CPW interfaces and ring resonator is isolated from substrate by air-gap. We optimized and measured the results that $S_{21}$ attenuation at rejected band is over 15 dB, insertion loss is inside the limit of 3 dB, and relative bandwidth is about 10 % at 60 GHz

LCD-BLU (Liquid Crystal Display - Back Light Unit) is one of kernel parts of LCD unit and it consists of several optical sheets(such as prism, diffuser and protector sheets), LCP (Light Guide Plate), light source (CCFL or LED) and mold frame. The LGP of LCD-BLU is usually manufactured by forming numerous dots with $50-200{\mu}m$ in diameter on it by erosion method. But the surface of the erosion dots of LGP is very rough due to the characteristics of the erosion process during the mold fabrication, so that its light loss is high along with the dispersion of light into the surface. Accordingly, there is a limit in raising the luminance of LCD-BLU. Especially, the negative and positive micro-lens pattern fabricated by modified LiGA with thermal reflow process was applied to the optical design of LGP.

Distylium racemosum Sieb. Et Zucc contains some compounds inhibit -amylase activity in experimental conditions. The inhibitory test showed that 50% acetone extracts from the bark and leaves of the plant strongly inhibited salivary -amylase activity. Proanthocyanidin(PA) which has strong inhibitory activity was extracted from the leaves by chromatography on Sephadex LH-20. The inhibitory activities and the inhibition kinetics of the PA were studied against three kinds of enzymes: human salivary ${\alpha}-Amylase$ (SAA), pork pancreatin ${\alpha}-Amylase$ (PAA) and yeast ${\alpha}-Glucosidase$ (AG). Then the activities of PA against SAA, PAA and AG were compared with those of acarbose, a commercial agent. The inhibitory activities of PA were stronger than those of acarbose. Inhibition kinetics of the PA showed competitive inhibition for SAA and PAA, and non competitive inhibition for GA.

We demonstrate that the performance of amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFT) can be optimized by controlling the interfaces between IGZO and sandwiching insulators and by proper deposition of IGZO layer. Specifically, contact and channel resistances are decreased by reducing IGZO bulk resistance and optimizing dry-etch process, respectively. Field-effect mobility ($\mu_{FE}$) and subthreshold gate swing (S) are further enhanced by fine-tuning IGZO deposition condition.

A 6-bit MMIC digital attenuator applicable to X-band TR module has been developed by using $0.5{\mu}m$GaAs pHEMT processes. The Switched-T attenuator scheme and the switched-path attenuator scheme were adopted to obtain low insertion loss and small phase variation, respectively. Resistors and transmission lines are optimized to achieve the digital attenuator with high attenuation accuracy and small phase variation. The digital attenuator has RMS error of 0.4dB, resolution of 0.5dB and dynamic range of 31.5dB. The measurement results show that in-out VSWRs are less than 1.5, phase variation is from -7 to +2 degrees and IIP3 is 36.5dBm.

This paper presents a novel 16-quadrature-amplitude-modulation (QAM) E-band communication system. The system can deliver 10 Gbps through eight channels with a bandwidth of 5 GHz (71-76 GHz/81-86 GHz). Each channel occupies 390 MHz and delivers 1.25 Gbps using a 16-QAM. Thus, this system can achieve a bandwidth efficiency of 3.2 bit/s/Hz. To implement the system, a driver amplifier and an RF up-/down-conversion mixer are implemented using a $0.1{\mu}m$ gallium arsenide pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility transistor (GaAs pHEMT) process. A single-IF architecture is chosen for the RF receiver. In the digital modem, 24 square root raised cosine filters and four (255, 239) Reed-Solomon forward error correction codecs are used in parallel. The modem can compensate for a carrier-frequency offset of up to 50 ppm and a symbol rate offset of up to 1 ppm. Experiment results show that the system can achieve a bit error rate of $10^{-5}$ at a signal-to-noise ratio of about 21.5 dB.

대기압 플라즈마를 발생시키는 것은 종래의 저기압 플라즈마를 발생시키는 것 보다 대단히 어렵다. 하지만, 대기압 플라즈마는 진공장치가 필요 없고, 제작방식이 비교적 간편하며 살균, 의료, 표면처리 등 다양한 응용이 가능해서 그 잠재력이 매우 크다. 본 연구에서는 유전체가 없는 두 전극사이에서 대기압 저온 마이크로 플라즈마를 발생시켰으며, submicrosecond pulse 파형으로 glow discharge를 유지할 수 있었다. 플라즈마 소스의 전극 간격은 200[${\mu}m$]이고 방전개시전압은 약 450${\sim}$600[V]이다. 플라즈마를 발생시키기 위한 feeding gas는 He 100%이다. 본 연구에서 개발된 대기압 플라즈마는 소비전력이 2[W]미만으로 온도는 조건에 따라 40$^{\circ}C$미만으로 발생 가능하다. 또한 스펙트럼 분석 시 777nm인 산소원자의 peak이 다른 원자 혹은 분자들의 peak보다 월등히 높다.

본 연구에서는 PECVD 공법 중에 이온화 에너지가 높은 선형이온빔 소스를 이용하여 고온에서 전도성 카본박막을 코팅하였다. 카본 박막 코팅을 위한 Precursor는 $C_2H_2$ gas를 이용하였으며, 온도에 따른 카본 박막의 전기적 특성 및 두께에 따른 카본 박막 성장 구조를 분석하였다. 카본 박막의 전기적 특성은 Interfacial contact resistance (ICR) 방법으로 측정하였으며, 접촉 저항 측정을 위한 모재는 SUS316L stainless steel을 사용하였고 카본 박막 성장 구조 분석을 위해서는 폴리싱된 Si-wafer를 사용하였다. 선형이온빔 소스를 이용하여 상온에서 증착한 카본 코팅의 접촉저항 값은 50 nm 코팅 두께에서 $660m{\Omega}cm^2@10kgf/cm^2$으로 비정질상의 특성을 나타냈으며, 고온에서는 $14.8m{\Omega}cm^2@10kgf/cm^2$으로 온도가 증가함에 따라 비정질상의 카본 박막이 전도성을 가지는 카본박막으로의 성장을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 전도성 카본 박막의 성장 구조 분석은 FE-SEM 및 Raman spectrum 분석을 통해 확인하였으며, 그 결과 코팅 두께가 증가할수록 카본 입자들은 수nm에서 약 150 nm의 카본 cluster를 형성하며 성장하였다. 이때 전도성 카본 박막의 두께에 따른 접촉저항의 값은 고온 조건에서 카본 박막의 두께가 약 100 nm일 때, $12.1m{\Omega}cm^2@10kgf/cm^2$의 가장 낮은 값을 가졌다. 위의 결과를 경제성이 아주 우수한 대면적 전도성 나노 카본 박막의 상용화 가능성이 높아질 것으로 기대된다.
