This study was performed to examine the effect of copper on the biodegradability, nitrification, denitrification and oxygen uptake rate (OUR) using batch reactor and continuous flow stirred tank reactor (CSTR) of anaerobic/anoxic/oxic ($A_2/O$). The results of this study can be summarized as follows. In the case of the effect of copper on organic treatment, the bad effect initiated when it was above 4.5 mg/L copper with batch reactor and above 2.0 mg/L copper with CSTR. Concerning the case on nitrification and removal of nitrogen, it showed bad effect when copper was above 4.5 mg/L with batch reactor for nitrification and 1.0 mg/L with CSTR for the removal of nitrogen. The bad effect on the removal of phosphorus began when it was 4.5 mg/L copper with batch reactor and 2 mg/L copper with CSTR. In the case of OUR, it decreased as microbial activity was affected when copper concentration was above 1.5 mg/L in both case of batch reactor and CSTR.

Damascene 공정을 이용하여 80nm급의 trench 패턴 내에 구리 배선 형성을 위해 무전해 구리 도금법을 이용하였다. 화학 반응으로 진행되는 무전해 도금법에 의한 구리이온의 초미세 패턴 내 환원 과정에 구리 이온의 물질 전달과정이 구리 도금층의 표면 특성과 superconformality에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 회전 전극에 고정된 칩의 회전 속도가 증가함에 따라 구리 도금층의 비저항이 감소하고, trench 내 균일 도금성이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigated the effect of surface pretreatment, which removes native Cu oxides on Cu seed layer, on subsequent Cu electro-/electroless deposition in Cu interconnection. The native Cu oxides were removed by using citric acid-based solution frequently used in Cu chemical mechanical polishing process and the selective Cu oxide removal was successfully achieved by controlling the solution composition. The characterization of electro-/electrolessly deposited Cu films after the oxide removal was then performed in terms of film resistivity, surface roughness, etc. It was observed that the lowest film resistivity and surface roughness were obtained from the substrate whose native Cu oxides were selectively removed.

Ferroportin-1 (FPN) is a transporter protein that is known to mediate iron export from macrophages. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of copper on the regulation of FPN gene expression in J774 mouse macrophage cells. J774 cells were treated with various concentrations of $CuSO_4$ and RT-PCR analyses were performed to measure the steady-state levels of mRNAs for FPN and divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1, an iron importer). Copper treatment significantly increased FPN mRNAs in a dose-dependent manner, but didn't change the levels of DMT1 mRNA. Experiments with transcriptional inhibitor actinomycin D (0.5 ${\mu}g$/mL) revealed that copper treatment did not affect the half-life of FPN mRNAs in J774 cells. On the other hand, results from luciferase reporter assays showed that copper directly stimulated the promoter activity of FPN. In summary, our data showed copper induced FPN mRNA of macrophages via a transcriptional rather than post-transcriptional mechanisms.

Sillicon Wafer는 순도 99.9999999%의 단결정 규소를 사용하여 만들어진다. 웨이퍼의 표면은 결함이나 오염이 없어야 하고 회로의 정밀도에 영향을 미치기 때문에 고도의 평탄도와 정밀도를 요구한다. 특히 실리콘의 순도는 효율성에 영향을 주는 주요 원인으로 금속의 오염은 실리콘 웨이퍼의 수명을 단축시켜 효율성을 떨어뜨린다. 표면에 흡착된 구리와 니켈은 Silicon 오염의 주요인 중 하나로 알려져 있다. 이 연구는 Silicon Wafer 표면에 흡착된 구리가 내부로 확산되는 메커니즘을 규명하는 것을 목표로 한다. 표면에 구리가 흡착된 상태는 AES 및 LEED로 관찰하였다. 표면에 흡착된 구리의 표면(수평)및 내부(수직)확산은 SIMS를 이용하여 연구하였다.

The leaching of Cu from waste PCBs was investigated with electro-generated chlorine as an oxidant. The leaching experiments were carried out according to the design of experiments to analyze quantitatively the effect of parameters on copper leaching. From the analysis of variance (ANOVA) it was suggested that the effective parameters were current density, temperature, concentration of HCl, and the interaction between the concentration of HCl and temperature. Especially, the effect of current density was analyzed to contribute to the interpretation of result for copper leaching up to 95.7%. A multiple regression model obtained from the analysis of effective parameters explained 99% of leaching results. From the model equation, it was found that the effect of HCl concentration on copper leaching increased with temperature.

A study has been made of the rccovery of copper (11) by solvent extraction with Alamine336 (Tri-n-oclylamine) as a extractant from hydrochloric etching solutions. The effect of extractant concentrations, hydrochloric acid, chloride Ion concentrations and phase ratio (organiclaqueaus) on copper extraction were studied. Experimental results showed that the concenl~atiano f extractant and the phase ratio strongly influenced the copper extraction, and the extraction percent of capper Increased at higher hydrochloric acid and chloride ion mncmhation. We proposed that the optimum extrachon stages of copper for continuous extraction process by analysidng thc McCabe-Thielc diagram. Stripping of copper from the loaded organic phases wn be accomplished by pure water (H, O) as a dripping reagent effectively. As the tcmpcrature is increased, thc stripping of copper is enhanced.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of copper and selenium supplementation on lipid contents. Lipid levels in serum and liver were analyzed and compared in rats fed diet with 100, 200 and 400% of copper requirement and 100% and 1000% of selenium requirement for 6 weeks. Feed intake, body weight gain, and feed/weight were not significantly different among the groups. Serum cholesterol was the lowest in the copper-adequate group and sect LDL-cholesterol was significantly lower in the selenium-adequate group compared to the selenium-supplement group. Liver cholesterol was significantly elevated by the supplementation of copper and selenium. Summarizing these results, with the supplementation of copper and selenium, cholesterol levels in serum and liver increased in rats. Therefore, it could be suggested that adequate intake of minerals and well-balanced diet are more desirable than nutrient supplementation.
