The VLSI devices of submicron level trend to have a lowering of reliability because of hot carriers by two dimensional influences which are caused by short channel effects and which are not generated in a long channel devices. In order to minimize the two dimensional influences, much research has been made into various types of source/drain structures. MOS typed tunnel transistor with Schottky barrier junctions at source/drain, which has the advantages in fabrication process, downsizing and response speed, has been proposed. The experimental device was fabricated with p type silicon, and manifested the transistor action, showing the unsaturated output characteristics and the high transconductance comparing with that in field effect mode. The results of trial indicate for better performance as follows; high doped channel layer to lower the driving voltage, high resistivity substrate to reduce the leakage current from the substrate to drain.

Recently, It has been reported that the spin sprayed ferite film shows better magnetic properties at high frequeny that the ferrite by co-firing over $800^{\circ}C$ . Besides, there is no limitation to select the substrate materials because it can be processed with relatively low temperature below $100^{\circ}C$. Therefore, we fabricated film inductor as a passive device for DC-DC converter by a use of spin sprayed embedded form was completed by via hole process of pad opening. Saturation magnetization of 0.61 T and real part of permeability of 110 were obtained in Ni-Zn ferrite. In addition, inductance of 1.52 ${\mu}H$, quality factor of 24.3 at 5 MHz were measured with spiral 16 turn inductor. The rated current of inductor was 863 mA.

With the increase in capacity of photovoltaic generation systems, studies are being actively conducted to improve system efficiency. In order to develop the high performance photovoltaic power system it is required to understand the physical characteristics of the solar cell. However, solar cell models have a non-linear form with many parameters entangled and conventional methods suggested to extract the parameters of the solar cell model require some kind of assumptions, which accompanies the calculation errors, thereby lowering the accuracy of the model. Therefore, in this paper a novel method is proposed to calculate the ideality factor and reverse saturation current of the solar cell from the I-V curve measured and announced by solar cell manufacturers, derive the ideal I-V curve, and then extract the series and shunt resistances value from the difference between the ideal and measured I-V curve. Also, validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by calculating the correlation between I-V curve based on modeling parameters and I-V curve actually measured through least squares method.

원자층 증착(Atomic Layer Deposition: ALD) 방법은 반응물질들을 펄스형태로 챔버에 공급하여 기판 표면에 반응물질의 표면 포화반응에 의한 화학적 흡착과 탈착을 이용한 박막증착기술이다. ALD법은 박막의 조성 정밀제어가 쉽고, 파티클 발생이 없으며, 대면적의 박막 증착시 균일성이 우수하고, 박막 두께의 정밀 조절이 용이한 장점이 있다. 원자층 증착 공정에서 짧은 시간 안에 소스를 충분히 공급하기 위한 방법으로는 소스 온도를 증가시켜 전구체의 증기압을 높여 반응기로의 유입량을 증가시키는 방법, 전구체의 공급시간을 늘리는 방법 등을 들 수 있다. 그러나 전구체 온도를 상승시키는 경우, 공정 조건의 변화가 요구되며 전구체의 변질에 의하여 형성된 막이 의도하는 막 특성을 만족시키지 못하게 되는 문제점이 발생될 우려가 있다. 그리고 전구체를 충분히 공급하기 위하여 전구체의 공급시간을 늘이는 방법을 사용하면, 원하는 두께의 막을 형성하기 위하여 소요되는 공정시간이 증가된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 수송가스를 이용한 버블러 형태의 전구체 공급 장치를 사용하지만 이 또한 전구체의 수명을 단축시키는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 위의 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 새로운 개념의 수송가스 도움 전구체 공급 장치를 소개한다. 본 연구에서 사용된 수송가스 도움 전구체 공급 장치를 가지는 ALD 장비는 Lucida-D200 (NCD Technology사)이며 기판으로는 8인치 실리콘 웨이퍼를 사용하였으며 (TEMA)Zr을 사용하여 ZrO2 박막을 성장하였다. 수송가스 도움 전구체 공급 장치를 사용한 경우, 그렇지 않은 경우 보다 $30^{\circ}C$ 이상 전구체 온도를 낮출 수 있으며, 또한 증착 속도를 약 2배정도 증가시킬 수 있었다. 이들 박막들은 XRD, XPS, AFM 등을 이용하여 결정구조, 결합에너지, 표면 거칠기 등의 특성을 관찰하였다. 그리고 C-V, I-V 측정을 이용해 정전용량, 유전율, 누설전류 등의 전기적 특성을 평가하였다.

Two types of organic thin film solar cell devices with bulk hetero-junction (BHJ) structure were fabricated on plastic substrates using conjugated polymers of $PCDTBT:PC_{71}BM$ and $PTB7:PC_{71}BM$ blended as active channel layer. Time-variant characteristics of the organic thin film solar cell devices were investigated: short circuit current density ($J_{SC}$); open circuit voltage ($V_{OC}$); ; fill factor (FF); power conversion efficiency (PCE, ŋ). All the performance parameters were degraded by progress of the measurement time, while $V_{OC}$ showed the most drastic decrease with time. Possible factors to cause the time-variant alteration of performance parameters were discussed to be clarified.

The electrical characteristics of AlGaN/GaN/HEMT and MOSHFETs with NiO were studied. The threshold voltage of NiO MOSHFET revealed positive shift of +1.03 V than the -3.79 V of HEMT and negative shift of -1.73 V for SiO₂ MOSHFET. Also, NiO MOSHFET showed better linearity in drain current corresponding to gate voltage and higher transconductance at positive gate voltage than the others. The response of gate pulse with base voltage of -5 V was different for both transistors as HEMT showed 20 % drain current decrease at the frequency range of 0.1 Hz~10 Hz and NiO MOSHFET decreased continuously above 10 Hz.

Statement of problem: Recently precalcification treatment has been studied to shorten the period of the implant. Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of precalcification treatment of $TiO_2$ Nanotube formed on Ti-6Al-4V Alloy. Material and methods: Specimens of $20{\times}10{\times}2\;mm$ in dimensions were polished sequentially from #220 to #1000 SiC paper, ultrasonically washed with acetone and distilled water for 5 min, and dried in an oven at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The nanotubular layer was processed by electrochemical anodic oxidation in electrolytes containing 0.5 M $Na_2SO_4$ and 1.0 wt% NaF. Anodization was carried out using a regulated DC power supply (Kwangduck FA, Korea) at a potential of 20 V and current density of $30\;㎃/cm_2$ for 2 hours. Specimens were heat-treated at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours to crystallize the amorphous $TiO_2$ nanotubes, and precalcified by soaking in $Na_2HPO_4$ solution for 24 hours and then in saturated $Ca(OH)_2$ solution for 5 hours. To evaluate the bioactivity of the precalcified $TiO_2$ nanotube layer, hydroxyapatite formation was investigated in a Hanks' balanced salts solution with pH 7.4 at $36.5^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks. Results: Vertically oriented amorphous $TiO_2$ nanotubes of diameters 48.0 - 65.0 ㎚ were fabricated by anodizing treatment at 20 V for 2 hours in an 0.5 M $Na_2SO_4$ and 1.0 NaF solution. $TiO_2$ nanotubes were composed with strong anatase peak with presence of rutile peak after heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$. The surface reactivity of $TiO_2$ nanotubes in SBF solution was enhanced by precalcification treatment in 0.5 M $Na_2HPO_4$ solution for 24 hours and then in saturated $Ca(OH)_2$ solution for 5 hours. The immersion in Hank's solution for 2 weeks showed that the intensity of $TiO_2$ rutile peak increased but the surface reactivity decreased by heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$. Conclusion: This study shows that the precalcified treatment of $TiO_2$ Nanotube formed on Ti-6Al-4V Alloy enhances the surface reactivity.

The marine seismic prospecting using a research vessel in the shallow sea near the coastal area has certain limits according to the water depth and survey environment. Also, for the electrical resistivity survey at seashore area, one may need a specially designed high-voltage source to penetrate the very conductive surface layer. Therefore, we have conducted a feasibility study on the application of magnetotelluric method (MT), a passive geophysical method, on investigating of shallow marine environment geology. Our study involves both theoretical modeling and field survey at the tidal flat area which represent the very shallow marine environment. We have applied the audio-frequency magnetotelluric (AMT) method to the intertidal deposits of Gunhung Bay, west coast of Korea, and analysed the field data both qualitatively and quantitatively to investigate the morphology and sedimentary stratigraphy of the tidal flat. The inversion of AMT data well reveals the upper sedimentary layer of Holocene intertidal sediments having a range of 13-20 m thickness and the erosional patterns at the unconformable contact boundary. However, the AMT inversion results tend to overestimate the depth of basement (30-50 m) when compared with the seismic section (27-33 m). Since MT responses are not significantly sensitive to the resistivity of middle layer or the depth of basement, the AMT inversion result for basement may have to be adjusted using the comparison with other geophysical information like seismic section or logging data if possible. But, the AMT method can be an effective alternative choice for investigating the seashore area to get important basic informations such as the depositional environment of the tidal flat, sea-water intrusion and the basement structure near the sea shore.
