In this paper, ZnO:Al thin film was deposited on polyethylene terephthalate(PET) substrate by capacitively coupled r. f. magnetron sputtering method from a ZnO target mixed with 2wt[%] Al2O3 to investigate the possible application of ZnO:Al film as a transparent conducting electrode for film typed DSCs. The effect of substrate bias on the electrical properties and film structure were studied. The results showed that a positive bias applied to the substrate during sputtering contributed to an improvement of electrical properties of the film by attracting electrons in the plasma to bombard the growing films. These bombardments provided additional energy to the growing ZnO:Al film on the substrate, resulting in significant variations in film structure and electrical properties. Electrical resistivity of the film decreases significantly as the positive bias increases up to +30[V] However, as the positive bias increases over +30[V], the resistivity decreases. The transmittance varies little as the substrate bias is increased from 0 to +60[V], and as r. f. powers increases from 160[W] to 240[W]. The film with electrical resistivity as low as $1.8{\times}10^{-3}[{\Omega}-cm]$ and optical transmittance of about 87.8[%] were obtained for 1,012[nm] thick film deposited with a substrate bias of +30[V].

산마늘은 마늘과 같이 독특한 향이 있어 입맛을 돋우며 웰빙식품으로 3월 중순에서 5월초에 채취하여 생채로 쌍을 먹거나 김치, 절임으로 생산되어 판매된다. 산마늘의 부가가치 향상을 위하여 살균소독 세척과 소포장용 필름포장방법을 구명하고자 본 실험을 수행하였다. 산마늘을 살균소독 세척수(수돗물, 0.2% 구연산 침지 후 50% 에탄올 분무처리)로 2분 세척하고 원심탈수 후, 포장필름은 $30{\mu}m$ oriented polypropylene (OPP), $30{\mu}m$ OPP 필름을 기본재료로 산소투과율 $5,000cc/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$ (OPP_5)로 조정한 필름, $30{\mu}m$ micro perforated polypropylene (MPP) 필름에 밀봉하고, $30{\mu}m$ OPP필름에 개봉 포장하여 $4^{\circ}C$에서 42일 저장하였다. 산마늘은 구연산 침지 후 에탄올 분무세척 후 세척 전 보다 일반세균수가 1.5 log CFU/g 감소되었으며 수돗물 세척 후는 0.1 log CFU/g 정도 감소하여 수돗물 보다 구연산 침지 후 에탄올 분무에 의해 균수 감소효과가 보다 컸으며 저장기간이 경과한 후에도 그러한 경향은 유지되었다. 저장 35일 후 세척수에 관계없이 OPP 개봉과 MPP 밀봉 포장에서 의해 산마늘의 황화율과 부패율이 높게 나타났으며 OPP 밀봉에서 이취 발생 지수가 OPP_5 밀봉보다 높게 나타났다. 세척 및 포장처리에 의한 종합선도의 제한요인은 황화, 이취 및 부패취 발생 지수로 이를 종합하였을 때 산마늘의 상품성 향상을 위하여 소포장 하는 경우 구연산 침지 후 에탄올 분무 방법으로 세척한 다음 원심탈수하여 OPP_5필름으로 포장하는 것이 품질 향상에 적합하였으며 40일 이상 저장이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

The purposes of this paper were to improve both fouling and chlorine resistance by increasing the hydrophilicity of the reverse osmosis membrane. In order to improve chlorine resistance, the surface of RO membrane was activated by ultraviolet irradiation, and then it was modified by the sol-gel method using Octyltriethoxysilane (OcTES) such as the silane coupling agent to low sensitivity to chlorine, thereby the polyamide active layer was protected and chlorine resistance was improved. In addition, polyglycerol polyglycidyl ether (PGPE) and sorbitol polyglycidyl ether (SPE) coating with different number of epoxides, ring opening reaction of epoxide improved the anti-fouling resistance. The surface modification condition was optimized by FT-IR, XPS, and contact angle analysis. As a result, the permeability reduction rate of the silane-epoxy modified membrane after the fouling test was decreased about 1.5 times as compared with that of the commercial membrane. And the salt rejection was maintained over 90% at $20,000ppm{\times}hr$ even after chlorine resistance test.

Purpose: To develop a whole body frame for the purpose of reducing patient motion and minimizing setup error for extra-cranial stereotactic radiotherapy, and to evaluate the repositioning setup error of a patient in the frame. Materials and Methods: The developed whole body frame is composed of a base plate, immobilizer, vacuum cushion, ruler and belts. The dimension of the base plate is 130 cm in length, 50 cm in width and 1 cm in thickness. The material used in the base plate of the frame was bakelite and the immobilizer was made of acetal. In addition, Radiopaque angio-catheter wires were engraved on the base plate for a coordinate system to determine the target localization. The measurement for radiation transmission and target localization is peformed in order to test the utilization of the frame. Also, a Matlab program analyzed the patients setup error by using the patient's setup images obtained from a CCTV camera and digital record recorder (DVR). Results: A frame that is useful for CT simulation and radiation treatment was fabricated. The frame structure was designed to minimize collisions from the changes in the rotation angle of the gantry and to maximize the transmission rate of the Incident radiation at the lateral or posterior oblique direction. The lightening belts may be used for the further reduction of the patient motion, and the belts can be adjusted so that they are not in the way of beam direction. The radiation transmission rates of this frame were measured as 95% and 96% at 10 and 21 MV, respectively. The position of a test target on the skin of a volunteer is accurately determined by CT simulation using the coordinate system in the frame. The estimated setup errors by Matlab program are shown 3.69$\pm$1.60, 2.14$\pm$0.78 mm at the lateral and central chest, and 7.11 $\pm$2.10, 6.54$\pm$2.22 mm at lateral and central abdomen, respectively. The setup error due to the lateral motion of breast is shown as 6.33$\pm$ 1.55 mm. Conclusion: The development and test of a whole body frame has proven very useful and practical in the radiosurgery for extra-cranial cancers. It may be used in determining target localization, and it can be used as a patient immobilization tool. More experimental data should be obtained in order to improve and confirm the results of the patient setup error.

$In_2O_3$에 Sn이 도핑된 Indium Tin Oxdie (ITO)는 높은 전기전도성 및 광투과율을 가지므로 터치센서, 태양전지, 스마트 윈도우, 플렉시블 디스플레이등의 수많은 광전자 소자에 필수적이다. 특히 스마트산업이 발전함에 따라 Touch Screen Panel (TSP) 에 적용되는 터치용 고품질 초박막 ITO의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 초박막 ITO 필름은 얇은 두께로 인해 낮은 결정성을 가지기 때문에 높은 전기전도성을 확보하기 힘들다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 결정성을 향상시키기 위하여 초기 박막 성장 메커니즘에 영향을 주는 인자를 제어하는데 목표를 두었으며 이러한 박막 초기의 성장에 영향을 미치는 인자들 중 자장강도를 변화시킴으로써 플라즈마 임피던스를 조절하였다. 그 결과 전기적 특성 및 광학적 특성은 자장강도에 매우 의존함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Electromagnetic shielding, transparent ITO coating layers have deposited on ocular lens substrate by magnetron sputtering. We investigated the effect induced by the substrate temperature on coating layer. The characteristics of the coating layers were analyzed using surface profiler, four-point probe, XRD, spectrophotometer and Auger Electron spectroscopy. As substrate temperature became higher, carrier concentration was increased and transmittance in the visible region was increased, too.

ITO는 n형 반도체 특성을 가지며 이와 동시에 높은 가시광투과율과 낮은 전기전도도를 가짐으로써 다양한 투명전극소재와 가스 검출센서로 많이 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 RF magnetron sputtering 법을 이용하여 상온에서 glass 기판 위에 두께 100nm로 ITO 그리고 하층 ITO 박막 (두께 50 nm) 위에 층간 금속 (두께 5 nm)을 증착하고 다시 상부 ITO 박막 (두께 45 nm)을 증착하여 3층의 적층형 박막센서를 제작하였다. 층간 금속으로는 Au와 Cu를 각각 사용하였다. 박막 증착 후엔 진공분위기에서 $150^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$로 열처리 과정을 거쳐 열처리 전후의 물성 및 감지특성을 비교해보았다. 분석방법으로는 XRD, SEM, AFM, Hall effect 장치 등을 이용하였다. 분석 결과 $300^{\circ}C$에서 진공 열처리한 ITO/Au/ITO(IAI) 박막센서가 높은 결정화도 와 전기적 특성이 나타났으며, 0 에서 1000ppm 까지의 메탄가스의 민감도 측정에서도 열처리된 IAI 박막센서가 기존의 ITO 박막센서보다도 약 70% 정도 향상된 민감도를 나타내었다.

Daily solar radiation is essential for water resources planning and environmental impact assessment. However, radiation data is not commonly available in Korea other than in big cities, and there has been no direct measurement for rural areas where water resources planning and environmental impact assessment is usually most needed. In general, missing radiation data is estimated from nearby regional stations within a certain distance, and this study compared two dominant methods (modified Angstrom equation and transmittance interpolation method) at six stations in Nakdong River watershed area. Two methods shows a similar level of accuracy but the transmittance interpolation method is likely to be superior in that there is no need for any measurement element since the modified Angstrom equation require the sunshine hour measurement. This study will contribute to improve water resource and water quality management in Nakdong River watershed.

In the stretchable electronic devices, the stretchable substrate is a very essential material which determines the stretchability, performances and durability of the stretchable electronic devices. In particular, the current stretchable materials have hysteresis making difficult to used as sensors and other electronic devices. In this study, we developed a PDMS-Ecoflex hybrid stretchable substrate mixed with PDMS and Ecoflex material in order to increase stretchability and improve hysteresis characteristics. Mechanical behavior of the hybrid substrate was evaluated using a tensile test, and optical transmittance of the hybrid substrate was also measured. As the content of Ecoflex increases, the PDMS-Ecoflex hybrid substrate becomes more flexible, and the elastic modulus decreases. In addition, the PDMS substrate failed a tensile strain of 270%, while the PDMS-Ecoflex hybrid substrate did not fail even at 500% strain indicating excellent stretchability. In the repeated tensile test, the hybrid substrate with 2:1 mixing ratio of PDMS and Ecoflex showed hysteresis. On the other hand, in the case of the hybrid substrate with the mixing ratio of 1:1, hysteresis did not occur at a strain of 50% and 100%. Hence, we developed a stretchable substrate with over 150% stretchability and no hysteresis characteristics. The optical transmittance of the Ecoflex substrate was 68.6%, whereas the transmittances of the hybrid substrate with mixing ratio of 2:1 and 1:1 were 78.6% and 75.4%, respectively. These results indicate that the PDMS-Ecoflex hybrid substrate is a potential candidate for a transparent stretchable substrate.

In this paper, a simple method of forming a solution-based carbon nanotube (CNT) for use as a conductive material for electronic devices was studied. The CNT thin film coating was performed on the glass by applying the spin coating method and the argon atmospheric pressure plasma process. In order to observe changes in electrical and physical properties according to the number of coatings, samples formed in the same manner from times 1 to 5 were prepared, and surface shape, reflectance, transmittance, absorbance, and sheet resistance were measured for each sample. As the number of coatings increased, the transmittance decreased, and the reflectance and absorptivity increased in the entire measurement wavelength range. Also, as the wavelength decreases, the transmittance decreases, and the reflectance and absorption increase. In the case of electrical properties, it was confirmed that the conductivity was significantly improved when the second coating was applied. In conclusion, in order to replace CNT with a transparent electrode, it is necessary to consider the number of coatings in consideration of reflectivity and electrical conductivity together, and it can be seen that 2 times is optimal.
