In manufacturing of solution-processed organic electronic devices, a spin coating method is frequently used, but which has a big problem. Solvent in a solution has a decisive effect such as physical and chemical damage for successive solution-based film deposition. Such a severe damage by solvent restricts for fabricating building blocks of multi-layered films from solutions. In this work, it will be shown that a proper combination of well-known solvents gives a chance to fabricate multi-layered film, also this new method was applied to make organic field effect transistor. Two types of bottom gate, bottom contact transistors were fabricated, one of which is fabricated by conventional single spin coating method, the other fabricated by double spin coating method. Compared with the electrical characteristics in a single spin coated transistor, the leakage current between source and gate electrode was decreased, ON state current was increased, and the extracted saturation mobility was multiplied more than 2.7 time for double spin coated transistors. It is suggested that the multiple coated gate dielectric structure is more desirable for high performance organic ferroelectric field effect transistors.

Nanogenerators containing biomaterials are eco-friendly electronic devices in terms of being a non-polluting energy source and biodegradable electronic waste. In particular, the amount of waste will be also reduced if the biomaterial can be extracted from biowaste. In this study, a triboelectric nanogenerator was fabricated using animal collagen present in the skin of a mammal and its characteristion was proformed. The electro-anodic layer of the triboelectric nanogenerator was constructed by forming a collagen film using the spin coating method, and it was confirmed that the film was porous from scanning electron microscopy. The fabricated triboelectric nanogenerator exhibited an open-circuit voltage from 7 V at 3 Hz to 15 V at 5 Hz due to periodic mechanical movement, and a short-circuit current of 3.8 uA at 5 Hz. In conclusion, collagen-containing triboelectric nanogenerators can be power source for low-power operating devices such as sensors and are also expected to be useful for reducing electronic waste.

In surface mount technology (SMT), the screen printer, which is an equipment for applying solder cream, has a lot of poor coating as the pad becomes smaller. To solve this problem, a jet printer is being used recently. However, if the nozzle at the end of the valve applied to the jet printer head is not cleaned, solder cream remains or an error occurs. To prevent this, the nozzles should be cleaned periodically. In this paper, a more stable cleaning method than the existing technology is presented for the stable application of solder cream on a jet printer. In this method, cut a 35mm wide mujin cloth, wrap it in a roll, and rotate it with a DC geared motor on the other side to clean it. As a result, it was confirmed that the solder paste was not left on the nozzle surface and was well wiped when cleaning with about 2,000 dotting cycles.

As the use of chemical products increases in daily life, the removal of dye waste has also emerged as an important environmental issue. This dye waste can be decomposed using a photocatalyst, and the photocatalyst can be synthesized very cost-effectively by using the sol-gel technology. The sol-gel technology is not only very useful for nanoscale film formation, but also can simply form multilayer structures. Using a multiple spin coating method, in this study, a ZnO film with a multilayered structure (3 layers, 5 layers) was formed by using zinc oxide (ZnO), which is effective in decomposing various dyes. For performance comparison, a ZnO film having a single layer structure by a single spin coating method was prepared as a control. Structural and elemental analysis of ZnO film was performed using an X-ray diffraction analyzer and an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. A nanowire-like surface morphology could be observed through a scanning electron microscope. Additionally, UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used to measure the absorbance of UV light. The ZnO film with a five-layer structure degraded the simulated methylene blue by 49% more than the ZnO film with a single-layer structure. In conclusion, it was found that ZnO having a multilayered structure is useful as a photocatalyst that decomposes methylene blue dye more effectively.

본 실험에서는 레이저 간섭 리소그래피를 이용한 2차원 나노 패턴을 형성하였고, 수열합성법을 이용하여 90 도에서 ZnO 나노 기둥을 ZnO/Si 기판 상에 제작 하였다. ZnO 버퍼층은 스퍼터를 이용하여 200도, Ar 분위기에서 증착 하였으며, 레이저 간섭 리소그래피를 이용하여 두 번의 노광을 통해 2차원 나노 패턴을 형성하였다. 먼저, 최적화된 포토레지스트를 ZnO/Si 기판 위에 도포하고, 2500rpm에서 30초간 스핀코팅 한 후, 첫번째 노광을 실시 하였고, ZnO/Si 기판을 회전시켜 첫번째 노광과 교차 시킨 다음 두 번째 노광을 통해 교차하는 부분만 현상되도록 하였다. 기판의 회전 및 기판과 입사 레이저 사이의 각도를 조절하여 제작된 나노 패턴의 종류는 square lattice, centered rectangular lattice, oblique lattice, hexagonal lattice, rectangular lattice, 5가지로, 2차원의 모든 격자를 제작 하였다. 저온 수열합성법에서는 Na citrate를 형상제어제 (surfactant ions)로 사용하여 ZnO 나노 기둥을 형성하였다. $NH_4OH$를 이용하여 용액의 pH를 조절하였고, Zn nitrate hexahydrate를 Zn의 원료 물질로 사용하였다. 2차원 나노 패턴의 3차원 형태는 Atomic force microscopy (AFM, Veeco instruments, USA)를 이용하여 접촉 모드에서 관찰하였고, ZnO 나노 구조는 주사 전자 현미경 (FE-SEM, Model: JSM-6701F, Tokyo, Japan) 를 통하여 분석 하였다. 나노 패턴의 AFM 분석 결과 ZnO/Si 기판상에 포토레지스트가 주기적인 배열을 가지는 것을 확인하였고, ZnO/Si 기판상에 포토레지스트가 완전히 현상된 부분이 일정한 배열을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 포토레지스트가 현상되어 기판의 표면이 드러난 부분의 크기는 약 250nm로 측정되었다. ZnO 나노 구조의 FE-SEM 분석 결과, 각각의 나노 구조가 나노패턴 중 완전히 현상된 부분만을 통하여 성장되었다는 것을 확인하였고, 형상 제어제로 사용된 Na citrate의 첨가 여부에 따라 나노 구조의 모양이 변화되었다는 것을 알 수 있었다. Na citrate 가 첨가된 나노 기둥의 경우 약 500nm의 길이를 가지는 하나의 기둥 형태로 성장하였다는 것을 확인하였다.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is one of the promising representive of polymer gate dielectric for its high resistivity and sutible dielectric constant. PMMA (Mw=96700) films were prepared on p-Si by spin coating method. PMMA were coated compactively and flatly as observes by AFM. MIS(Al/PMMA/p-Si) structure was made and capacitance-voltage (C-V) and current-voltage (I-V) measurements were done with PMMA films for repeated annealing cycles at $100^{\circ}C$. 1-V measured at various delay times $(0{\sim}20sec)$ showed little change and the absence of hysteresis in the I-V characteristics with delay times, which eliminate the possibility of deep traps in the PMMA films. The observed thermal stability, smooth surfaces, dielectric constant, I-V behavior implies PMMA formed by spin coating can be used as an efficient gate dielectric layer in OTFTs.

Zinc oxide film is a transparent conductive material and is used in optoelectronic devices in various fields. Therefore, characterization of the zinc oxide film will play a very important role in improving the performance of optoelectronic devices. Here, we will evaluate the morphological and structural characteristics of such a zinc oxide film based on the solution process. Specifically, the sol-gel method will be repeatedly performed to observe the change in material properties of the zinc oxide film according to the number of times of spin-coating. It was confirmed that crystallization proceeded as a result of performing the sol-gel method repetitively 5 times under constant solution conditions. At 7 times or more, the element composition and crystallinity tended to converge to a specific value. The average crystal size of the final zinc oxide film was calculated to be about 10.7 nm. In this study, the number of processes showing optimal crystallization was 7 times. The results and methodology of this study can be applied while varying various solution process variables and are expected to contribute to establishing optimal process conditions.

Purpose: Tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce perioperative blood loss and the frequency of blood transfusions in lower extremity surgery. On the other hand, the effects of TXA on reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) remain undetermined. This study evaluated the efficacy of TXA on perioperative blood loss, transfusion requirements, and the change in the hemotologic index. Materials and Methods: This study evaluated patients who underwent rTSA from September 2009 to July 2020. The patients were classified into two groups. The TXA group were administered TXA intravenously and topical TXA during surgery. The non-TXA group was not administered TXA. The quantity of hemovac drainage, which represented the postoperative blood loss, transfusion requirements, and postoperative change in hemoglobin and hematocrit level, were recorded. Results: The TXA and non-TXA groups consisted of 93 and 84 patients, respectively. The preoperative demographics showed no significant differences in age (72.0±7.0 vs. 71.5±5.8, p=0.656), sex (male:female, 28:65 vs. 23:61, p=0.689) and the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes (hypertension:diabetes:both, 36:3:13 vs. 32:3:8, p=0.806) between the two groups. There were significant differences in the requirements of transfusion (0 vs. 9, p=0.001), hemovac drainage at the 1^st (98.8±61.2 ml vs. 162.7±98.8 ml, p<0.001), the 2^nd postoperative day (73.8±48.4 ml vs. 91.5±54.5 ml, p=0.024), hemoglobin level at the 1^st (11.7±1.2 g/dl vs. 11.2±1.4 g/dl, p=0.048), 3^rd (10.9±1.2 g/dl vs. 10.2±1.2 g/dl, p<0.001), and 6^th (11.2±1.3 g/dl vs. 10.7±1.3 g/dl, p=0.020) postoperative day, and the hematocrit level at the 1^st (35.0%±3.6% vs. 32.5%±3.8%, p=0.001), 3^rd (32.3%±5.0% vs. 29.8%±3.6%, p<0.001), and 6^th (33.5%±3.8% vs. 31.5%±3.7%, p<0.001) postoperative day between the two groups. Conclusion: Intravenous and topical intra-articular TXA can reduce the transfusion requirement and blood loss in rTSA.
