The mating systems of natural populations of Vicia tetrasperm in Korea were determined using allozyme analysis. The result suggests that V. tetrasperm is low rates of outcrossing or mix-mating outcrossing (self-fertilization, s < 0.5). At the population levels, the values of inbreeding coefficient of ten populations in Korea varied from 0.131 to 0.176, giving an average 0.154. For ten natural populations, multi-locus estimates of outcrossing (tm) was 0.333 across fifteen polymorphic loci, with individual population values ranging from 0.269 to 0.423. The differences between the tm and ts values were not close to zero (tm - ts > 0.154), indicating that biparental inbreeding was significant in the loci. The reason for relatively low outcrossing rates of some populations could be attributed to extensive consanguineous mating and isolation of flowering mature plants. Although heterozygote excess was observed in one natural population, most populations exhibited varying degrees of inbreeding and heterozygotes deficit. Thus, selection against homozygotes operated in the progeny populations throughout the life cycle.

A planar Bi-Sb multijunction thermal converter, which is consisted of a linear or bifilar thin film NiCr-heater and a thin film Bi-Sb thermopile, has been fabricated, and its ac-dc transfer characteristics were examined in a frequency range from 10 Hz to 10 KHz. In order to increase the thermal sensitivity and to decrease the ac-dc transfer error of a thermal converter, the heater and the hot junctions of a thermopile were prepared on a Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$/Si$_3$N$_4$-diaphragm which acts as a thermal isolation layer, and the cold junctions on the Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$/Si$_3$N$_4$-thin film supported with the silicon rim which functions as a heat sink. The respective thermal sensitivities in air and in a vacuum of the converter with a built-in bifilar heater were about 14.0 ㎷/㎽ and 54.0 ㎷/㎽, and the ac-dc voltage and the current transfer difference ranges in air were about $\pm$0.60 ppm and $\pm$0.11 ppm, respectively, indicating that the ac-dc transfer accuracy of the converter are much higher than that of a commercial 3-dimensional multijunction thermal converter. However, the output thermoelectric voltage fluctuation of the converter was rather high.

본 논문은 고성능 다결정 실리콘(Poly-Si) 박막 트랜지스터 (Thin Film Transistor)에서 단일 수직 그레인 경계(Single Perpendlcular Grain Boundary)가 고온 캐리어 스트레스(Hot Carrier Stress) 및 정전류 안정성 평가에서 어떠한 효과를 보이는가에 대해서 살펴보았다. 고온 캐리어 스트레스 하에서($V_G=V_{TH}+1V,\;V_D$ =12V),그레이 경계가 없는 다결정 실리콘 TFT와 비교했을 때 그레인 경계를 가지고 있는 다결정 실리를 TFT는 전기 전도(Electric Conduction)에 작용하는 자유 캐리어(Free Carrier)의 개수가 적기 때문에 상대적으로 더욱 우수한 전기적 특성을 나타낸다. 먼저 1000초 동안 고온 캐리어 스트레스를 가해준 결과 단일 그레인 경계를 가진 다결정 실리콘에서의 트랜스 컨덕턴스(Transconductance)의 이동 정도는 5% 미만으로 확인되었다. 반면에 같은 스트레스 조건 하에서 그레인 경계가 존재하지 않는 다결정 실리콘의 경우에는 그 이동 정도가 약 25%에 달하는 것으로 측정되었다. 다음으로 정전류 스트레스(Constant Current Stress) 인가시, 수직형 그레인 경계가 채널 영역 내에 존재하지 않는 다결정 실리콘 TFT는 드레인 접합 부분의 전계 세기를 비교했을 때, 그레인 경계를 가지고 있는 다결정 실리콘 TFT보다 상대적으로 낮은 원 인 때문에 적게 열화되는(Degraded) 특성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Strength and failure of adhesively bonded carbon composite-to-aluminum single-lap joints were studied by experiment. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of various parameters such as curing pressure for bonding, overlap lengths, and adherend thickness on the failure loads and modes of the bonded Joints with dissimilar materials. Experimental results show that the bonding pressure for composite-to-aluminum dissimilar materials should be 4 atm at the lowest. Failure load of the joints increases as the overlap length increases, but the strength (failure load divided by bonded area) decreases rapidly after the overlap width-to-length ratio is greater than 1. When the adherend thickness increase to double, bonding strength increase $12{\sim}55%$. Major failure mode of the joints is the delamination in the composite laminate and the location of delamination goes deeper into the laminates as the bonding pressure and overlap length increase.

A previous study has shown that the g.17924G>A polymorphism of fatty acid synthase (FASN) is associated with unsaturated fatty acid composition in the Hanwoo beef, hence this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within FASN gene on the selection phenotypes of Hanwoo breeding stock. A total of 925 progeny test steers were used to genotype g.11280G>A, g.13125T>C, and g.17924G>A polymorphisms and significant associations were found among g.11280G>A, g.17924G>A, and carcass traits, such as carcass weight, backfat thickness, and beef quantity index. No significant association was found between g.13125T>C and carcass traits. Although the degree of linkage disequilibrium (LD) was not strong among g.11280G>A, g.13125T>C, and g.17924G>A in the LD analysis, four major haplotype classes were formed with the genotypic information within the FASN gene; the frequencies of the halpotypeswere -GCG-[0.378], -ATG-[0.301], -GTA-[0.191], and -ACG-[0.063], respectively. Phenotypic association was performed among these haploptypes, and the haplotype 2 (-ATG-)was significantly associated with higher carcass weight when compared to the other haplotypes, i.e. haplotype 1 (-GCG-) and haplotype 3 (-GTA-). A copy number of the FASN haplotype 3 (-GTA-) had also a significant association with carcass weight of subjects. In conclusion, it was observed that two polymorphisms (g.11280G>A and g.17924G>A) and their haplotypes within the FASN gene are consistently associated with carcass traits. Therefore, it is desirable to use the FASN polymorphisms for pre-selection program as genetic marker with improved carcass yield and beef quality of the Hanwoo sire at the Hanwoo Improvement Center as well as for commercial Hanwoo producers, the FASN genotypic information can be used for a part of selecting Hanwoo dam for superior calf production.

We have investigated optical and structural properties of $Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}N$/GaN and $Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}N/GaN/Al_{0.15}Ga_{0.85}N/GaN$ heterostructures (HSs) grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, by means of Hall measurement, high-resolution X-ray diffraction, and temperature- and excitation power-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. A strong GaN band edge emission and its longitudinal optical phonon replicas were observed for all the samples. At 10 K, a 2DEG-related PL peak located at ${\sim}\;3.445\;eV$ was observed for $Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}N$/GaN HS, while two 2DEG peaks at ${\sim}\;3.42$ and ${\sim}\;3.445\;eV$ were observed for $Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}N/GaN/Al_{0.15}Ga_{0.85}N/GaN$ HS due to the additional $Al_{0.15}Ga_{0.85}N$ layers. Moreover, the emission intensity of the 2DEG peak was higher in $Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}N/GaN/Al_{0.15}Ga_{0.85}N/GaN$ HS than in $Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}N$/GaN HS probably due to an effective confinement of the photo-excited holes by the additional $Al_{0.15}Ga_{0.85}N$ layers. The 2DEG-related emission intensity decreased with increasing temperature and disappeared at temperatures above 150 K. To investigate the origin of the new 2DEG peaks, the energy-band structure for multiple AlGaN/GaN HSs were simulated and compared with the experimental data. As a result, the observed high- and low-energy peaks of 2DEG can be attributed to the spatially-separated 2DEG emissions formed at different AlGaN/GaN heterointerfaces.

최근 SOP에 대한 관심이 늘어나고 있으며 그에 따라 새로운 재료에 대한 관심도 증폭되고 있다. 예전의 단순한 신호 전달의 매개체 역할에서 벗어나 많은 수동 소자나 RF소자들을 내장하고 궁극적으로는 능동 소자까지 단일 기판위에 탑재하기 위해서는 기존의 RF 적인 전기적인 요구 특성 위에 많은 부가 특성들이 요구된다. 특히 SI이나 GaAs같은 능동 소자들과의 Assembly과정에서의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 낮은 선팽창 계수나 높은 탄성 계수 등의 기계적인 특성들이 요구되고 있으며 또한 점차 복잡한 회로 구조 등을 구현하기 위해 무수축이라는 새로운 공법 또한 요구되어 지고 있다. 그리고 사용주파수가 점차 높아짐에 따라 한편으로는 저유전율과 저손실의 재료가 요구되고 있으며 다른 한편으로는 embedded Capacitance의 요구에 맞춰 고유전율의 기판재료 또한 요구되어 지고 있다. 따라서 궁극적으로는 회로 구현의 목적에 따라 저유전율과 고유전율의 이종 재료의 접합이라는 문제 또한 자연스럽게 대두되고 있다. 이처럼 SoP에 대한 시장의 요구가 증가함에 따라 새로운 재료개발의 요구 또한 늘어나게 될 것으로 예상된다.

금속과 금속이 접합할 때 발생하는 고유 저항값은 접촉소재의 종류, 접촉면의 상태, 접촉조건(하중, 온도, 정적 또는 동적인 접촉 등), 주변환경에 따라서 변한다. 소재가 접촉할 때 발생되는 저항값의 변화특성을 적극적으로 이용한 것이 전기 저항법(Electrical Contact Resistance Method)이다. 접촉 저항법의 특징은 접촉시 발생되는 저항값이 미세하게 변화한다 할지라도 모두 계측이 가능하다는 점이다. 그동안의 연구는 ㅈ로 단일 접촉점(Single Contact Spots) 위주의 단편적인 실험적 연구를 통하여 접촉 저항법에 대한 신뢰도 확보에 노력하였으나, 최근에는 접촉점이 인접한 다른 접촉부위에 미치는 영향, 즉 다수 접촉점군(Multiple Contact Spots and Clusters)의 거동해석에 더욱 큰 연구 비중을 두고 있다. 접촉점군 상호간의 영향에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되기는 하였지만 해석모델의 적절성 여부가 실험적 데이타를 통하여 확인이 아직 안되었기 때문에 기존의 접촉저항 추정식을 직접 사용하기가 어려웠으나 최근에 볼군-원판 모델에 대한 접촉점과 다수의 접촉점군 상호간에 발생될 수 있는 접촉저항 특성을 실험적으로 해석하여 보다 정확한 해석모델이 제시되었다.

Low reflectance optical fiber mirrors in the continuous length of the single mode fiber were fabricated using mechanical splices and pieces of fiber coated with $TiO_{2}$ dielectric film at the cleaved end. When fiber mirrors of refelctance of about 1% were produced, the insertion loss ranged from 0.055dB to 0.3dB and the average insertion loss was 0.15 dB. These mirrors could be produced easy in the field.
