Contact resistivity between silver electrodes and the emitter layer of a silicon solar cell wafer has been measured using either the circular transmission line method or the linear transmission line method. The circular transmission line method has an advantage over the linear transmission line method, in that it does not require an additional process for mesa etching to eliminate the leakage current. In contrast, the linear transmission line method has the advantage that its specimen can be acquired directly from a silicon solar cell. In this study, measured resistance data for the calculation of contact resistivity is compared for these two methods, and the mechanism by which the linear transmission line method can more realistically reflect the impact of the width and thickness of a silver electrode on contact resistivity is investigated.

Electrical resistivity survey is widely used to investigate the stability of center-core type fill dam against the seepage phenomenon. In this study, we analyze the resistivity information obtained on a earth fill dam and compare it with the geotechnical SPT result. The analysis shows that the zones showing low resistivity value generally have low N value. However, some zones with high resistivity pattern do not accompany the increase of N value, and even showing low N value. These results imply that the direct identification of resistivity value to the real status of the core material of fill dam is impossible, and a highly resistive zone may be in serious status due to the effect increasing the resistivity value by the piping condition. Therefore, multiple exploration should be planned to reduce the uncertainty in application of geophysical methods to dam safety evaluation.

Electrical resistivity is one of physical property of the earth and measured by electrical resistivity survey, electrical resistivity logging and laboratory test. Recently, electrical resistivity is widely used in determination of rock quality in support pattern design of road and railway tunnel construction sites. To get more reliable rock quality data from electrical resistivity, it needs a lot of test and study on correlation of resistivity and rock quality. Firstly, we did rock property test in laboratory, such as P wave velocity, Young's modulus, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and electrical resistivity. We correlate each test results and we found out that electrical resistivity has highly related to P wave velocity, Young's modulus and UCS. Next, we accomplished electrical resistivity survey in field site and carried out electrical resistivity logging at in-situ area. We also performed rock classification, such as RQD, RMR and Q-system and we correlate electrical resistivity to RMR data. We found out that electrical resistivity logging data are highly correlate to RMR. Also we found out that electrical resistivity survey data are lower than electrical resistivity logging data when there are faults or fractures. And it cause electrical resistivity survey data to lowly correlate to RMR.

스퍼터된 a축 성장된 산화아연 박막의 전기적 및 구조적 특성의 DC 파워에 대한 영향을 c 축 성장된 산화아연 박막과의 비교를 통해 분석하였다. 1~103 ${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$의 낮은 비저항을 갖는 파워를 갖는 조건과 106~108 ${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$의 높은 비저항을 갖는 파워를 갖는 조건에 대한 분석을 진행하였다. 각 조건에 따른 XRD 분석을 통해 낮은 비저항을 갖는 파워를 갖는 조건의 경우 (100) 성장 방향을 강하게 나타내었으나, 높은 비저항을 갖는 파워를 갖는 조건의 경우 약한 (002) 성장 방향을 나타내었다. EDS를 이용한 분석시 낮은 비저항을 갖는 파워의 경우 상대적 으로 oxygen rich 특성을 나타내었다. 이번 연구를 통해 비저항 등 다양한 조건에 따라 결정 성장 방향이 다름을 확인하였으며, 이에 대한 분석을 통해 산화아연 박막의 성장된 조건에 따 라 다양한 전자소자에의 응용 및 분석이 필요함을 확인하였다.

This paper describes the physical properties of the factors controlling the electrical resistivity of the subsurface. Resistivities of various types of soil and rock samples saturated with sodium chloride solutions having nine different concentrations were measured, and the measured resistivities of these samples were compared with calculated resistivities obtained using the conventional empirical formulas. From the results obtained, we observed that the resistivity of the soil and rock samples increases with increasing in pore-fluids resistivity regardless of the media type. However, between 20 and 200 ohm-m, which is the normal range of resistivity of groundwater, the resistivity of the pore-fluids have little or no effect on the resistivities of the samples used. Below 10 ohm-m, the resistivities of the samples are mainly controlled by the pore-fluids, whereas, in the normal range of resistivity of groundwater, the sample resistivities are controlled by their intrinsic matrix resistivity more than by the pore-fluids resistivity. Also, the measured resistivity of rock and soil samples having more than $20\%$ clay contents showed a good agreement with the calculated resistivity using the parallel resistance model whereas, the calculated resistivities of glass beads correlate with that obtained using Archie's formula. When the pore-fluid resistivity is high, the computation of the resistivity values of the samples using the Archie's formula could not be carried out. Through this study, we were able to confirm that the tests are only applicable to the parallel resistance model considering the intrinsic matrix resistivity within the normal resistivity range of groundwater in the subsurface.

We conducted DC resistivity and MT survey to obtain the resistivity structure of the central Myanmar basin. We tried to analyze the underground structure through the resistivity variation of Myanmar by performing representative geophysical survey methods because researches on the electrical resistivity structure are insufficient in Myanmar. The electrical resistivity is expected to be low considering the marine sedimentary rocks composed of shale and sandstone in this area. The DC resistivity and MT survey were carried out using SmartRho of Geolux Co., Ltd. and MTU-5A of Phoenix geophysics Ltd., respectively, to visualize the electrical resistivity structure of study area. DC resistivity and MT survey showed an electrical resistivity less than dozens of ohm-m within the depth of 100 m. In particular, MT survey data were almost similar to TM and TE modes in the frequency range above 1 Hz. The two-dimensional inversion of MT data showed a subsurface structure with low resistivity below 150 ohm-m divided into east-west direction. We confirmed that the inversions of DC resisitivity and MT data along an overlapped survey line represented similar results. In the future, considering the high electrical conductivity, it would be effective to perform DC resistivity and MT survey simultaneously to study the electrical resistivity structure of the central Myanmar basin.

This paper describes dipole-dipole apparent resistivity responses from near-surface cavities in otherwise homogeneous earth materials. In applying the dipole-dipole resistivity method to the problem of locating and delineating subsurface cavities, it is important to know apparent resistivity responses not only for conductive bodies but also for resistive ones. Dipole-dipole apparent resistivities for these bodies are calculated by the numerical modeling technique using an integral equation solution. The magnitude and pattern of apparent resistivity is highly dependent on the ratio of body resistivity to background resistivity. In conductive bodies, the largest anomaly of apparent resistivity appears at the outside of the body. In resistive bodies, however, the position of the largest anomaly coincides with the location of the body. The field results gathered at Okinawa, Japan in 1978 showed that peak anomalies occurred at the locations of air-filled cavities.

열처리에 따른 Cu 박막의 미세구조 및 전기 비저항의 변화를 조사하였다. Cu(hfac)(TMVS)를 원료로 하는 저압화학증착법에 의해 증착온도를 $160^{\circ}C$에서 $330^{\circ}C$까지 변화시키면서 TiN기판 위에 Cuqkr막을 제조하였고 $450^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 열처리하였다. 증착온도에 따라 표면이 평평한 Cu 박막을 형성하는 표면반응 제한지역과 표면이 거친 Cu 박막을 형성하는 물질전달제한지역이 관찰되었다. 열처리 후 Cu 박막은 전체적으로 표면이 평탄해졌고 결정립의 크기는 모든 증착온도에서 증가하였는데 그 편차 역시 증가하여 EM 저항성 측면에서는 큰 효과를 보이지 못할 것으로 판단된다. 비저항은 증착온도 $200^{\circ}C$에서 급격히 증가하였고 열처리 후에는 모든 증착온도에서 비저항이 감소하였는데 표면반응제한지역에서는 결정립 성장에 의한 약간의 비저항 감소를 보였으나 물질전달제한지역에서는 응집에 의해 Cu 결정립간의 전기적 연결상태가 향상되어 급격한 비저항 감소를 보였다.

Electrical resistivity of a rock-sample is dependant on not only formation factor of rock itself but also many parameters such as fluid type, measuring device, temperature, water saturation, electrical contact between electrode and core section, induced polarization, and frequency of electric source. In this study, we attempt to verify various affecting factors in core resistivity measurements and to find a better environment for core resistivity measurement. Particularly great attention has been paid to understanding the effects of temperature, water saturation, contact condition between sample and electrodes, and frequency of electric source. Precise measurement of resistivity can be achieved by utilizing silver paste for better contacts, taping samples for constant moisture contents, and using time-series resistivity data.

In this study, the effect of the size of the specimen on the apparent resistivity was investigated at the laboratory level for electrical resistivity. The specimens were measured for apparent resistivity by fabricating specimens with different sides and heights. Experimental results show that the apparent resistivity increases as the side and height of the specimen become smaller. Also, it was confirmed that the influence of the size of the specimen on the electrical resistivity measurement was not linear.
