In order to increase the capacitance of storage electrode in the DRAM capacitor, two approaches were performed. First, hemispherical and rugged poly silicon films were made by LPCVD to increase the effective surface area of storage electrode. The even surface morphology of conventional poly silicon electrode was changed into the uneven surface of hemispherical of rugged poly silicon films. Second, PECVD $Ta_2O_5$ dielectric films were deposited and thermally treated to study the dielectrical characteristics of $Ta_2O_5$ film on each electrode. MIS capacitors with $Ta_2O_5$ films were electrically characterized by I-V, C-V and TDDB measurements. As a result, the capacitance of the electrode with uneven surface were increased by a factor of 1.2~1.5 and leakage current was increased compared with those of even surface. TDDB result indicates that the electrode with uneven surface has dielectrically more degraded than that of even surface. These results can be helpful as a basic research to develop new generation DRAM capacitors with $Ta_2O_5$ films.

A new electrode material for $Ta_2O_5$ capacitor was developed to obtain both high dielectric constant and improved electrical properties for use in DRAM. High leakage current and low breakdown field of as-deposited $Ta_2O_5$ film on Si is due to the reduction of $Ta_2O_5$ by silicon at $Ta_2O_5$/electrode interface. $Dry-O_2$ anneal improves the electrical properties of $Ta_2O_5$ capacitor with Si electrode, but it thickens the interfacial oxide and lowers the dielectric constant, subsequently. $Ta_2O_5$ capacitor with TiN exectrode shows better electrical properties and higher dielectric constant than post heat treated $Ta_2O_5$ film on Si. No interfacial oxide layer at $Ta_2O_5$/TiN interface suggests that there\`s no Interaction between $Ta_2O_5$ and electrode. TiN is a adequate electrode material for $Ta_2O_5$ capacitor.

As a typical construction material, concrete has been used in building all kinds of structures since the late $19^{th}$ century. Although it was recognized to secure durability as long as the regulations on design and construction have been reasonably complied, the trends of life-shortening and deterioration have frequently occurred due to all kinds of the external effects that have been experienced during the procedures of using the structures. To make matters even worse, deterioration of the concrete structures according to deterioration can not be controlled any more. Finally, the reality is that repair and maintenance are necessary in the maintenance aspect of the concrete structure. In this study, CRM(Chemical Resistance of Laminating Reinforcement Method), which had been developed to reinforce the surface of concrete and specially improve chemical resistance performance, has been applied to enhance the existing repairing and maintenance method. Therefore, the result has been drawn with comparison and analysis of the specimens applied with the general repairing and maintenance method and CRM through a variety of durability test in this study. With the result of the test, durability of the specimen applied with CRM has been more improved than the existing repairing and maintenance method, which is judged as because of the laminating effect due to reinforcement of epoxy impregnated of alkali-resistance fiber and double layered fiber reinforced seat.

This paper describes experimental results about emission and NOx reduction of dilution effect (Nitrogen and carbon dioxide) about various fuel compositions of synthetic natural gas (SNG). Combustion experiment was performed to investigate the combustion characteristics for SNG with various hydrogen ratio in SNG, heat input and equivalence ratio in a partially premixed model gas turbine combustor. NOx emission was similar to each hydrogen ratio and flame characteristics was investigated from OH chemiluminescence images. There was a singularity of CO emission in stoichiometric condition and it can be identified using OH chemiluminescence intensity. In addition, dilution effect was studied in using nitrogen and carbon dioxide as diluent to reduce the NOx emission. Carbon dioxide diluent was more effective to NOx reduction than nitrogen diluent because of its high diluent specific heat and its heat capacity.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of corrugated packaging coated with aluminum (Al) on quality characteristics of red paprika during storage at $25^{\circ}C$. Characteristics such as weight loss, hardness, total phenolic content, antioxidant activities, polygalacturonic acid (PG) activity, and oxidative enzyme activities (polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities) of paprikas, packed in corrugated packaging with or without Al-coating were compared as a function of storage time. Al coating inside of corrugated box was found to inhibit PG activity, resulting in prevention of weight loss and maintenance of hardness of paprika during storage, compared to the control sample. This may be due to Al coating treatment that enhance moisture-proof property and hinder gas transmission of corrugated packaging. Furthermore, paprika in Al-coated-corrugated packaging was lower in oxidative enzyme activities than the control, which caused higher total phenolic content and antioxidant activities during storage. As a results, the Al coated-corrugated packaging can be used as a functional packaging material to extend the shelf-life and improve the storage quality of paprika by preventing their respiration and transpiration.

This study was conducted to determine the $F_0$-values of a retort machine at different locations and to evaluate the effects of these $F_0$-values on various quality characteristics of retorted Samgyetang samples. Samples were divided into three groups based on $F_0$-values-T1, 10~20; T2, 20~30; T3, >30. Mineral content in Samgyetang broth and breast meat mostly increased with increasing $F_0$-values. In general, the free amino acid values, hardness, and springiness, except for bone springiness, of Samgyetang decreased significantly at higher $F_0$-values. Protein content of meat and broth of the treated samples were significantly lower than that of the control. An increase in the digestion rate of meat and porridge, as well as the turbidity of the broth was observed in most of the treated samples with increasing $F_0$-values. With increasing $F_0$-values, the $L^*$ and $b^*$ values of meat and the $b^*$ values of broth tended to increase, while the $a^*$ value of broth increased significantly. Electronic nose analysis revealed different flavor patterns for samples treated at different $F_0$-values. For sensory traits, samples treated with higher $F_0$-values tended to receive lower evaluations. Particularly, the color and texture of T3 samples were lower than those of T1 and T2 samples. In conclusion, to improve the quality of Samgyetang, the efficiency and optimization of retort machines as well as the standardization of sterilization techniques are needed.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of pretreatment and different packaging methods on the physicochemical properties of cold vacuum-dried peaches. All the dried peach samples were stored such as $N_2$ gas substitution, vacuum and passive packaged with polyethylene (PE) film and oriented polypropylene (OPP)/aluminum (Al)/PE film at $40^{\circ}C$ for 50 days. The weight change, pH, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, soluble solid-acid ratio (SS/TA), delta E, browning degree and phenolic compounds were analyzed. The weight change and pH were lower in the 0.1% vitamin C-treated group and were significantly lowest in the vacuum-treated OPP/AL/PE. The soluble solids content and the SS/TA were higher in the non-treated groups than in the vitamin C-treated groups. According to the packaging methods, the $L^*$ values were higher in the vacuum, $N_2$ gas and passive package, in that order. In addition, the browning degree and the delta E value were lower in the pretreated groups and significantly lowest in the vacuum-treated OPP/AL/PE with 0.1% vitamin C group. The phenolic compounds were high for the pretreated groups, according to the packaging methods (vacuum > $N_2$ gas> passive), and the OPP/AL/PE was significantly higher than the PE. These results suggest that different packaging materials and pretreatment methods affected the quality of the dried peaches, and the vacuum-OPP/AL/PE film packaging group showed a high quality.

The effects of operating temperature and stress on degradation of components in high temperature steam generator were investigated. Several 2.25CrlMo tubes which had operated over 20 years and an unused 9CrlMoVNb tube were tested. For the former samples, the amount of $\textrm{M}_{6}\textrm{C}$ carbide and its size are increased with the aging or operating time. The precipitation behavior of carbides ($\textrm{M}_{2}\textrm{O}$, $\textrm{M}_{6}\textrm{C}$) is changed with the operating temperature of the tubes. However, unused 9CrlMoVNb samples show a different carbide precipitation process due to high chromium, vanadium, and niobium contents. The amount of Cr-rich $\textrm{M}_{23}\textrm{C}_{6}$ carbide is significantly increased with aging time, but that of $\textrm{M}_{6}\textrm{C}$ type carbide is rarely changed with aging time at elevated temperatures.

Effects of B addition and heat treatment on the magnetic and magnetostrictive properties of amorphous SmFe$_2$ thin films are investigated. A significant improvement in the magnetostrictive properties at low magnetic fields is observed with the addition of B. This improvement, however, is achieved at a heavy cost of intrinsic properties such as saturation magnetostriction. For example, at a magnetic field of 30 Oe, magnetostriction of a thin film with a B content of 9.9 at.% is increased from 190 to 333 ppm, but saturation magnetostriction is decreased by more than 50 %. This result is in accord with the deterioration (reduction) of saturation magnetization and the improvement (reduction) of coercive force at this B content. The magnetostrictive properties are also improved by annealing and optimum annealing temperature is found to be in the range 300-400 $^{\circ}C$. The main reason for the improvement is mainly considered to be due to the reduction of coercive force caused by stress relief, not due to the ultrafine SmFe$_2$ precipitates which were originally expected to form by annealing.

By making the inter-metal PECVD $SiO_2$ as a Si rich oxide under the SOG, the hydrogen and water related diffusants could be captured a t SI dangling bonds. This gettering process was known to prevent the device characteristics degradations related to the H, $H_20$. The basic characteristics of Si rich oxide have been studied according to changing high/low frequency power and $SiH_4/N_2O$ gas flow ratio in PECVD. As increase in low frequency power, deposition rate decreased but K.I. and compressive stress increased. Decrease of the water peaks of FTIR spectra at the wave number range of 3300~3800$\textrm{cm}^{-1}$' also indicated that intensty the films were densified. As increase in SiH, gas flow rate, deposition rate, R.I. and etch rate increased while compressive stress decreased. F'TIK spectra showed that peak intensity corresponding to Si-0-Si stretching vibration decreased and shifted to the lower wave numbers. But AES showed that Si dangl~ng bonds were increased as a result of lower Si:O(l: 1.23) ratlo inthe Si rich oxide as compared to Si : O(1 : 1.98) ratio of usual oxide.
