When tunnelling with TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine), accessibility to tunnel face is very limited because tunnel face is mostly occupied by a bunch of machines. Existing techniques that can predict ground condition ahead of TBM tunnel are extremely limited. In this study, the TBM Resistivity Prediction (TRP) system has been developed for predicting anomalous zone ahead of tunnel face utilizing electrical resistivity. The applicability and prediction accuracy of the developed system has been verified by performing field tests at subway tunnel construction site in which an EPB (Earth Pressure Balanced) shield TBM was used for tunnelling work. The TRP system is able to predicts the location, thickness and electrical properties of anomalous zone by performing inverse analysis using measured resistivity of the ground. To make field tests possible, an apparatus was devised to attach electrode to tunnel face through the chamber. The electrode can be advanced from the chamber to the tunnel face to fully touch the ground in front of the tunnel face. In the 1st field test, none of the anomalous zone was predicted, because the rock around the tunnel face has the same resistivity and permittivity with the rock ahead of tunnel face. In the 2nd field test, 5 m thick anomalous zone was predicted with lower permittivity than that of the rock around the tunnel face. The test results match well with the ground condition predicted, respectively, from geophysical exploration, or directly obtained either from drilling boreholes or from daily observed muck condition.

가동온도가 $800^{\circ}C$ 이하인 평판형 SOFC에서는 기존의 세라믹 분리판 대신에 금속 분리판이 적용될 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 금속 분리판은 가공성 및 경제성 등이 세라믹 분리판 보다 우수하여 SOFC의 실용화를 앞당기는데 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 있다. 그러나 금속 분리판의 적용을 위하여서는 아직 해결되어야만 할 문제점들이 남아 있는데, 표면 산화층의 형성에 따른 접촉 저항의 증가와 합금 성분 중의 Cr의 증발에 의한 전극 열화의 문제 등이 대표적인 그것이다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 SOFC용 분리판의 요구특성에 적합한 신합금의 개발과 고기능 표면 코팅 기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다.

저온 성장이 가능한 MOCVD를 이용하여 단결정 p-Si 기판위에 n-ZnO를 산소분압을 달리하여 성장하였다. 산소유량에 따른 이종접합 다이오드의 전기적 특성을 평가하기위하여 n-ZnO의 전기전도도, 이동도, 캐리어 농도를 측정하였으며, 소자에 저항성 접촉(ohmic contact) 전극을 형성하여 전류-전압 특성을 파악하였다.

In this paper we analyzed the effects of pentacene thickness and the location of source/drain contacts on the performance of pentacene TFT Above a certain thickness of pentacene thin film the pentacene grain was turned from the thin film phase into the bulk phase, resulting in degrading the crystallinity and then performance as well. For the top contact structure in which source/drain contacts are located above pentacene film, the contact resistance decreased comparing with the bottom contact structure. However, the leakage current in the off-state became large and then the related parameters such as on/off current ratio were deteriorated. We found that the thickness of around 300$\AA$-700$\AA$ was suitable, and that the bottom contact was more feasible for hig Performance pentacene OTFT.

A SPICE-based 3-dimensional circuit model of LED(Light-Emitting Diode) was developed for the design optimization and analysis of high-brightness LEDs. An LED is represented as an array of pixel LEDs with small preassigned areas, and each of the pixel LEDs is composed of circuit networks representing the thin-film layers(n-metal, n- and p-type semiconductor layers, and p-metal), ohmic contacts, and pn-junctions. Each of the thin-film layers and contact resistances is modeled by a resistance network, and the pn-junction is modeled by a conventional pn-junction diode. It has been found that the simulation results using the model and the corresponding parameters precisely fit the measured LED characteristics.

콘센트-플러그는 사용자부하에 전기를 공급하기 위하여 필수적으로 사용하는 전기부품이다. 활선상태인 콘센트-플러그를 임의로 차단할 경우, 교류환경에서는 반주기 마다 전류의 영점이 존재하므로 차단접점에서 발생하는 아크가 자연적으로 소호될 수 있으나 직류환경에서는 개방직전 전류가 영점을 포함하지 않고 일정하기 때문에 그에 따라 발생하는 아크는 교류에 비해 지속적이고 상대적으로 매우 큰 에너지를 방출한다. 교류에서 사용되는 플러그와 콘센트를 그대로 직류에서 사용 할 경우, 접속이 끊어 질 때 매우 큰 아크전류가 발생하여 플러그와 콘센트의 전극이 녹아서 붙는 융착 사고가 빈번히 발생한다. 본 논문은 콘센트-플러그의 융착 사고를 예방하기 위해 전극의 초기-후기접점 기법을 제안한다. 이를 구현하기 위한 기초적인 연구로서 초기-후기접점 저항을 2단계로 구분하여 접속 및 차단 시 중간단계의 접촉저항을 통하여 부하전류가 단계적으로 바뀔 수 있도록 함으로써 최종 차단 아크전류를 감소시키는 방법을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 성능을 분석하고 설계방법을 제시한다.

Desalination effects of capacitive deionization (CDI) process was studied using $TiO_2$/activated carbon electrode. In order to enhance the wettability of electrode and decrease a electrode resistance, $TiO_2$ was coated on activated carbon. By means of $TiO_2$ coating on activated carbon, electric double layer to adsorption content in CDI process was increased. It was identified from TEM, XRD, and XPS that the activated carbon based on $TiO_2$ composite was fabricated successfully by means of sol-gel method. As a results of cyclic voltammetry and impedance, it was identified that $TiO_2$/activated carbon electrode has more electric double later capacitance and less diffusion resistance than activated carbon. Also charge-discharge and ion conductivity profiles showed that the ion removal ratios of $TiO_2$/activated carbon electrode in NaCl electrolyte of $1000\;{\mu}S/cm$ more increased about 39% than that of activated carbon. In conclusion it was possible to identify that the carbon electrode coated $TiO_2$ as electrode material was more effective than raw carbon electrode.

Stretchable electrodes are focused due to many demands for soft electronics. One of the candidates, carbon black composites have advantages of low cost, easy processing and decreasing resistivity in a certain range during stretching. However, the electrical conductivity of carbon black composites is not enough for electronic devices. Graphene is 2-dimensional nanostructured carbon based material which shows good electrical properties and flexibility. They may help to improve electrical conductivity of the carbon black composites. In this study, graphene was added to a carbon black electrode to enhance electrical properties and investigated. Electrical resistivity of graphene added carbon electrode decreased comparing with that of carbon black electrode because graphene bridged non-contacting carbon black aggregates to strengthen the conductive network. Also graphene reduced an increase in the resistance of the carbon black electrode applied to strain because they connected gap of separated carbon black aggregates and aligned along the stretching direction at the same time. In conclusion, an addition of graphene to carbon black gives two benefits on the electrical properties of carbon black composite as a stretchable electrode.

In this paper, we fabricated heterojunction phototransistors(HPT's) with optically transparent ITO emitter contacts. Heterojunction transistors(HBT's) having the same device layout were fabricated to compare with HPT's. The model parameters of the devices were extracted and compared. Emitter contact resistance(RE) of the HPT was about 6.4$\Omega$, which was very similar to that of HBT and the other DC model parameters of the Inp/InGaAs HPT showed the similarities to those of the HIBT.
