Recently, a smartphone manufactured on a flexible substrate has been released as an electronic device, and research on a stretchable electronic device is in progress. In this paper, a silicon-based stretchable material is made and used as a substrate to implement and evaluate an optical sensor device using oxide semiconductor. To this end, a substrate that stretches well at room temperature was made using a silicone-based solution rubber, and the elongation of 350% of the material was confirmed, and optical properties such as reflectivity, transmittance, and absorbance were measured. Next, since the surface of these materials is hydrophobic, oxygen-based plasma surface treatment was performed to clean the surface and change the surface to hydrophilicity. After depositing an AZO-based oxide film with vacuum equipment, an Ag electrode was formed using a cotton swab or a metal mast to complete the photosensor. The optoelectronic device analyzed the change in current according to the voltage when light was irradiated and when it was not, and the photocurrent caused by light was observed. In addition, the effect of the optical sensor according to the folding was additionally tested using a bending machine. In the future, we plan to intensively study folding (bending) and stretching optical devices by forming stretchable semiconductor materials and electrodes on stretchable substrates.

In the conventional recirculation fish farms, there is a lot of difficulties due to lack of professional manpower and high reliance on imported measurement equipment. In this paper, we implement an automatic water quality measurement system which can measure the pollution degree in a water tank of fish farms using an optical sensor(pH, DO) with the IoT technology. The problem with existing systems is that the fish tank should be checked by means of human, or put the measuring equipment into the water tank of fish farms and measurement directly. But, it has a bad influence on the growth of fish. In this paper, we propose a method of indirect measurement without immersing the measurement equipment in a water tank of fish farm and develop a sustainable measurement system in an environment containing salt and lots of pollutants without affecting the growth of fish within the water tank of fish farms.

Recently, as high-quality sensors are being developed, it is available to conveniently measure any kind of data. Healthcare services are being combined with Internet of things (IoTs). And applications that use user's data which are remotely measured, such as heart rate, blood oxygen level, temperature are emerging. The typical example is applications that find ideal spouse by using a user's genetic information, or indicate the presence or absence of a disease. Such information is closely related to the user's privacy, so biometric information must be protected. That is, service provider must provide the service while preserving user's privacy. In this paper, we propose a scheme which enables privacy-preserving outlier detection in Healthcare Service.

Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were surface-modified by electron beam (E-beam) irradiation and used as a gas sensor electrode to investigate the effect of E-beam on nitric oxide (NO) gas sensing performance. XPS results showed that the oxygen component of ACFs surface treated by E-beam decreased and $sp^2$ bonded carbon of ACFs surface increased. These results were attributed to the structural transformation of ACFs surface irradiated by E-beam. NO gas sensitivity of the electrode composed of ACFs irradiated by100 kGy increased from about 4% to 8%, and the response time was also meaningfully enhanced from 360 s to 120 s. This is due to the fact that the $sp^2$ carbon bond increased by E-beam irradiation of activated carbon fibers, which significantly affects the resistance change of the electrode in NO gas sensing.

Recently, a health care need according to the increase of an advanced age population is increasing. The requirement about a health care monitoring is increasing rapidly from general people as well as patient. The requisition about a medical treatment technique and a medical treatment information service is the trend to be expanding. That can be possible minimizing the inconvenience of the patient to take a medical service and continuously monitoring the status of the patient to take a health care service. This paper discusses an implementation of wireless physiological signal monitoring system for health care. The system are composed of the sensor node and monitoring program. The sensor node has the physiological signal measurement part and the wireless communication part. The remote monitoring system has a monitoring program that are communicating the sensor node using bluetooth. The sensor node measured the ECG, pulse wave, blood pressure, Sp02, and heart rate.

High quality c-axis oriented $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7}$ films were prepared using the pulsed laser deposition on $SrTiO_{3}$(100) substrate. The atomically smooth $SrTiO_{3}$surface with terraces one unit cell in height could be obtained by a high temperature annealing. $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7}$ thin films deposited on the substrates exhibited layer-by-layer growth with a c-axis unit cell height. $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7}$ thin films thus prepared showed critical temperature ${\ge}90$ K with transition width ${\le}0.6$ K, room temperature resistivity of ${\sim}300{\mu}{\Omega}cm$, and critical current density ${\sim}4.6{\times}10^{6}A/cm^{2}$ at 77 K.

$ZnGa_2O_4$ thin film phosphors have been deposited using a pulsed laser deposition method on Si(100) substrates at a substrate temperature of $550^{\circ}C$ with oxygen pressures of 100mTorr, and subsequently to investigate their photoluminescence characteristics after post-annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$. As a result for X-ray diffraction, $Ga_2O_3$ shape appeared with increasing annealing temperature. The luminescent spectra show a broad band extending from 350 to 600nm peaking at 460nm. A post-annealing treatment of $ZnGa_2O_4$ thin films led to the different shape of luminescent intensity and grain size.

$SnO_2$ 나노선은 n-type 반도체 특성을 띄며 트랜지스터, 가스 센서, pH 센서 등 여러 분야에 걸쳐 다양하게 사용되고 있다. $SnO_2$ 나노선은 그 자체만으로 시계방향의 전기적 히스테리시스를 보이며 이것은 나노선 표면에 흡착된 물이나 산소가 발생시키는 전자 갇힘 현상이 가장 큰 원인으로 작용한다. 특히 고분자를 게이트 절연막으로 사용할 경우 게이트 절연막의 전기적 히스테리시스가 소자 특성에 영향을 미치게 되며, 고분자 절연막의 히스테리시스는 $SnO_2$ 나노선의 히스테리시스와 반대인 반시계 방향의 특성을 보인다. 고분자 내에서 발생하는 히스테리시스는 고분자 사이에 흡착된 물 분자나 고분자의 높은 극성을 가지는 작용기 등이 원인으로 작용한다. 전기적 히스테리시스는 FET소자를 구동하는데 있어 부적절한 특성으로, 이것의 원인을 이해하는 것은 중요하며 히스테리시스의 방향과 크기를 조절할 수 있는 기술 또한 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 폴리이미드(PMDA-ODA)를 게이트 절연막으로 사용하여 플렉시블 기판을 만들고 그 위에 $SnO_2$ 나노선을 슬라이딩 전이 방식으로 정렬하여 플렉시블 FET를 제작하였다. 제작된 소자는 $0.7cm\;{\times}\;0.7cm$ 넓이 안에 300개의 FET가 존재하며 SEM 이미지를 통해 넓이 $50{\mu}m$, 길이 $5{\mu}m$의 FET채널에 약 150개의 나노선이 연결되어 있는 것을 확인했다. 이 소자의 히스테리시스는 폴리이미드의 교차결합 정도에 따라, 그리고 폴리이미드 절연막을 제작할 때의 습도에 따라 변하게 된다. 교차결합이 많아지고 습도가 낮아질수록 폴리이미드 절연막 내부에 흡착되는 물분자가 줄어들게 되고 절연막의 히스테리시스가 사라지며 시계방향의 나노선 히스테리시스가 지배적이 된다. 반대로 교차결합이 줄어들고 습도가 높아질수록 폴리이미드 절연막 내부에 물분자가 늘어 나면서 시계반대방향의 폴리이미드 히스테리시스가 FET의 전기적 특성에서 눈에 띄게 나타난다. 이 실험을 통해 고분자 절연막을 사용한 $SnO_2$ 나노선 FET의 전기적 히스테리시스를 조절할 수 있었으며, 소자의 히스테리시스를 없앨 수 있는 가능성에 대해서 논하고자 한다.

This paper contains the results of the development and performance evaluation of the environmental data monitoring system for the fish farm. For the hardware development, the analogue sensor is used to collect dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, and temperature of the fish farm water, and the digital sensor is used for collecting ambient temperature, humidity, and location information via a GPS module to be sent to cloud-based Firebase DB. A set of LoRa transmitters and receivers is used as a communication module to upload the collected data. The data stored in Firebase is retrieved as a graph on a web and mobile application to monitor the environmental data changes in real-time. A notification will be delivered if the collected data is outside the determined optimal value. To evaluate the performance of the developed system, a response time from hardware modules to web and mobile applications is ranging from 6.2 to 6.85 seconds, which indicates satisfactory results.
