1차원 나노 와이어는 나노 디바이스를 구현하는데 있어 중요한 요소로 연구되고 있다. 하지만 나노 와이어를 바람직한 위치에 선택적으로 배열하는 부분은 해결할 과제로 남아있다. DNA 분자가 가지고 있는 음의 전하를 띄는 phosphate backbone과 자기조립 특성은 이러한 문제점들을 해결할 수 있는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 DNA 분자 형틀을 이용해서 CdSe/ZnS core-shell 나노입자의 pH 의 변화에 따른 표면 전위 변화를 이용하여 선택적 위치의 나노입자 배열을 통한 나노 와이어를 제작하는 연구를 하였다. 1-step 방법을 이용하여 합성한 CdSe/ZnS core-shell 나노입자를 무극성 용매인 chloroform 용액에 분산시키고 dimethylaminoethanethiol (DMAET) 를 이용하여 표면을 양전하로 치환하였다. 그리고 치환한 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자 용액에 HCl 을 이용해서 pH 7, 6, 5, 4로 변화를 주어 zeta potential 변화를 측정하였고 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) 코팅된 Si 기판에 ${\lambda}$-DNA를 정렬하고 이를 형틀로 이용하여 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자를 정렬하는 실험을 하였고 FE-SEM 을 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자의 pH 값이 작아지면서 전위가 커짐에 따라서 APTES 코팅된 기판 표면에 나노입자들이 반응하는 것보다 음전하를 띄는 ${\lambda}$-DNA의 phosphate backbone에 반응하는 것이 커짐에 따라 DNA 분자 형틀에 선택적으로 나노입자가 배열되는 것을 확인하였다.

반도체 집적회로의 고집적화 및 고성능화를 위한 기본 소자(MOSFET)의 미세화 및 단위공정의 물리적 한계를 극복하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중 다양한 나노입자를 이용한 나노소자 제작 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이러한 나노입자를 이용한 나노소자의 제작에 있어서 원하는 위치의 나노입자의 배열과 정렬의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이를 위해서 본 연구에서는 자기조립특성을 가지는 DNA 분자와 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자들의 표면 기능화를 통해서 상호 결합시키는 실험을 하였다. DNA 분자를 형틀로 이용하여 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자를 선택적 배열하고 전자 소자화하기 위해서는 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자의 표면 기능화가 필수적이다. 이를 위하여 무극성인 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자들과 DNA 분자의 phosphate backbone의 음전하와의 경합 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 이들 나노입자의 표면을 양전하로 치환하는 실험을 수행하였다. Core 나노입자인 CdSe 나노입자를 제작한 다음에 CdSe 보다 높은 band gap을 가지고 lattice mismatch가 적은 ZnS 로 shell 층을 형성하는 2-step 방법을 이용하여 합성한 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자를 무극성 용매인 chloroform 용액 0.5 ml에 분산시키고 DMAET 0.3 ml 와 Methanol 0.1 mg/ml를 이용하여 리간드들을 바꿔주고 과잉된 리간드인 DMAET를 제거하기 위해 Methanol로 3차례 세척한 다음 증류수에 용해시키는 실험을 하였다. 나노입자 기능화 과정 이후 기능화 여부를 판단하기 위하여 FT-IR spectroscopy 와 zeta potential 측정을 통하여 나노입자 표면의 변화와 전위를 측정하였다.

Ultrathin film of polyamic acid having benzene and sulfonyloxyimide moieties was prepared using the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique, and then photosensitive polyimide LB film was obtained by the thermal treatment of precursor polyamic acid multilayers at 200$\^{C}$ for 1 hr. The polyamic acid was synthesized by condensation polymerization under THF and pyridine cosolvent. All monomers and polymers were identified through elemental analysis, FT-IR and $^1$H-NMR spectroscopic measurements. The microarray patterning of photosensitive polyimide LB film on a gold substrate was generated with a deep UV lithography technique. The well-characterized monolayer of cytochrome c was immobilized on the microarray patterns using two different self-assembly processes. Physical and electrochemical properties of the self-assembled cytochrome c monolayer were investigated based on cyclic voltammetry and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Also, its application in bioelectronic device was examined.

Lecithin can self-assemble into reverse spherical micelles in organic solvents due to its amphiphilic properties. With additives such as D-sorbitol and water, the reverse spherical micelles are transformed into reverse cylindrical micelles by the morphology change of lecithin molecules. In this study, the rheological properties of lecithin/D-sorbitol/water mixtures were investigated. In addition, the small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) technique was used to examine the shape and size of the formed nanostructures related to their rheological properties. Such mixtures are expected to be used in drug delivery and oleogels because of their high viscosity and viscoelastic behavior.

Au electrodes modified with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were used to control the work function of source/drain electrodes in triethylsilylethynyl anthradithiophene (TES ADT)-based organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). By using benzothiol (BT) and pentafluorobenzothiol (PFBT) SAMs, the hole injection barrier between Au and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of TES ADT was controlled. After a solvent annealing, TES ADT OTFTs with PFBT SAM-treated Au electrodes were found to exhibit high field-effect mobilities of $0.05\;cm^2/Vs$ and on/off current ratios of $10^6$.

In general, alkanethiolates having carboxylic acid in the tail group have been used as biorecepton. In this study, we have immobilized a cytochrome c protein using conjugated aromaticthiolates in order to improve the electrical property and physical stability of alkanethilolates. The pattern formation of self-assembled aromaticthiolate monolayers was as follow. Aromatic thiolates bound on the gold surface by the adsorption of 4'-mercapto-biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid and 4-mercapto-[1,1';4',1']terphenyl-4'-carboxylic acid were oxidized by the irradiation of deep UV light through a negative mask. The negative type pattern of the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was obtained by developing with a deionized water. The pattern formation and electrical conductivity of aromaticthiolate SAMs was investigated by the measurements of STM and AFM. In addition, cytochrome c or ferrocene amide was immobilized onto the patterned substrate. We also studied on the effect of conjugated aromatic thiolates on the electrical activity of cytochrome c or ferrocene amide by cyclic voltammetry.

New self-assembled discotic liquid crystals have been prepared through single hydrogen bonding between phenol and pyridine moieties, and their liquid crystalline properties were investigated. For the construction of discotic structure, we used phloroglucinol as a core molecule and trans-4-alkoxy-4'-stilbazoles with systematically varied alkyl chain lengths as peripheral units. FTIR results showed that the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between core and peripheral molecules are successfully formed, and the stability of the hydrogen bond is strongly influenced by molecular ordering. Discotic complexes exhibited different liquid crystalline phases depending on the length of alkyl chains around the discotic mesogen. The discotic complexes with longer alkyl chains showed hexagonal columnar mesophases, while the other complexes formed nematic columnar mesophases. These results indicated that the type of mesophase structure was strongly dependent on the alkyl chain length around the aromatic core.

Natural chitosan has high molecular weight and the poor solubility in water. Water-soluble chitosan with low molecular weight was prepared by the hydrolysis method. In order to develop an efficient gene delivery carrier, chitosan was conjugated with lipoic acid to form the comb-type copolymer. The copolymer with the amphiphilic property formed the self-assembled nanoparticles in the aqueous solution. The average size of nanoparticles was 217.6 nm and the average size of nanoparticles/DNA complex was 170 nm. New chitosan-lipoic acid copolymer showed the low cytotoxicity and 10 times higher transfection efficiency than that of the pure chitosan.

Photochemical patterning of self-assembled mono layers (SAMs) has been performed by diode pumped solid state (DPSS) 3rd harmonic Nd:$YVO_4$ laser with wavelength of 355 nm. SAMs patternings of parallel lines have subsequently been used either to generate compositional chemical patterns or fabricate microstructures by a wet etching. This paper describes a selective etching process with patterned SAMs of alkanetiolate molecules on the surface of gold. SAMs formed by the adsorption of alkanethiols onto gold substrate employs as very thin photoresists. In this paper, the influence of the interaction between the functional group of SAMs and the etching solution is studied with optimal laser irradiation conditions. The results show that hydrophobic functional groups of SAMs are more effective for selective chemical etching than the hydrophilic ones.
