In an effort to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality, countries around the world are aiming to phase out coal-fired power plants. Due to various reasons, electricity production through coal-fired power generation and sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions are expected to continue in the future. In the South Korea, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) and lime materials are used to treat SOx, and most of the sodium bicarbonate is imported. Therefore, this research was conducted to replace sodium bicarbonate by improving the physical properties of lime materials using domestic limestone. Limestone was heat-treated through a box-type electric furnace and a vertical electric furnace. Due to the structural characteristics of the vertical electric furnace, a lime material(quicklime) was possible to improve the physical properties like a specific surface area and a pore volume. Then, they were reached to 22.33 m²/g specific area and 0.14 cc/g pore volume.

Electroless plating technique was utilized to flip chip bonding to improve surface mount characteristics. Each step of plating procedure was studied in terms pf pH, plating temperature and plating time. Al patterned 4 inch Si wafers were used as substrstes and zincate was used as an activation solution. Heat treatment was carried out for all the specimens in the temperature range from room temperature to $400^{\circ}C$ for $30^{\circ}C$ minutes in a vacuum furnace. Homogeneous distribution of Zn particles of size was obtained by the zincate treatment with pH 13 ~ 13.5, solution concentration of 15 ~ 25% at room temperature. The plating rates for both Ni-P and Au electroless plating steps increased with increasing the plating temperature and pH. The main crystallization planes of the plated Au were found to be (111) a pH 7 and (200) and (111) at pH 9 independent of the annealing temperature.

The formation mechanism of the epitaxial cobalt silicide from Co/Ti/OOO) Si structure has been investigated. The transition temperature of CoSi to CoSi, was found to increase with increasing the Ti interlayer thickness, which may be owing to the occupation of the tetrahedral sites by Ti atoms in the CoSi crystal structure as well as the blocking effect of the Ti interlayer on the diffusion of Co. Also, the Co- Ti-O ternary compound formed at the metal! Si interface at the begining of silicidation, which seems to play an important role in epitaxial growth of Co silicide. The final layer structures obtained after a rapid thermal annealing of the Cot Ti/( 100) Si bi-layer structure turned out to be Ti oxide/Co- Ti-Si/epi-$CoSi_2$/OOO)

To enable the widespread use of buckwheat and create novel consumer demands through improved food processing techniques, we compared the quality characteristics of roasted groats following different processing and brewing methods for common and tartary buckwheat. The various processing steps resulted in significant reductions in rutin content for both buckwheat species, while the quercetin content increased in the tartary buckwheat. The fully processed tea products showed dramatic differences in rutin content, which varied based on the buckwheat species, formulation, and brewing method. Tartary buckwheat contained an average of 61 times more rutin than common buckwheat. The tartary buckwheat variety, Hwanggeum-miso, was used to determine an optimal roasting temperature of 70-80℃. Finally, we suggest that consumers who want buckwheat tea rich in rutin would prefer hand-drip-extracted tea, while those who want tea with less bitterness, sweetness, and good flavor would prefer the cold-brewed method.

In order to prepare rice vinegar, $takju$ fermentation was performed, using two different compositions; cooked rice supplemented with $Rosa$ $rugosa$ Thunb. (CR-R) and uncooked rice supplemented with $Rosa$ $rugosa$ Thunb. (UR-R). After ethanol fermentation, ethanol contents of $takju$ were adjusted to 6.0%, and then acetic acid fermentation was carried out using $Acetobacter$ $aceti$ at $30^{\circ}C$ with 200 rpm for 9 days. Supplementations of 1% acetic acid to $takju$ prior to acetic acid fermentation were a critical step in achieving a successful fermentation; final organic acid contents increased in a dose dependent manner. A higher content of organic acids, 1.6-6.9%, was found in UR-R vinegar. The level of free amino acid and GABA in UR-R vinegar was higher than that of CR-R vinegar, with glutamic acid and arginine, as the major amino acids. This finding demonstrates that heating process of rice prior to ethanol fermentation affects the quality of vinegar significantly.

Bacillus thringiensis strain 108 was isolated from soil and had nematicidal activity against second stage juvenile of plant root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. The strain 108, a rod shape, spore forming and Gram positive bacterium, produced lecithinase, catalase, and ${\delta}$-endotoxin. The strain 108 belongs to H serotype 3, Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki. A nematicidal substance of the strain 108 was partially purified on Sephadex G-25 gel filtration, activated carbon adsorption, silica gel adsorption, and Sephadex G-10 gel filtration. $LC_{90}$ of the partially purified substance against M incognita was $1.2\;{\mu}g/ml$. The nematicidal substance was stable by heat treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ for 1hr, but was perfectly lost nematicidal activity after autoclave ($110^{\circ}C$, 30 min).

Prussian blue analogues(PBAs) are comprised of cyano-bridged transition metal ions. The wide and unique open-framework structures of the PBAs enable reversible intercalation and deintercalation of various ions such as $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, etc. In addition, since PBAs are synthesized through coprecipitation reaction in aqueous solution at room temperature, they are produced economically and environmentally friendly. However, the formation of crystals proceeds rapidly, and defects such as vacancy and crystal water tend to be present in the crystals, thereby affecting key battery performance. Therefore, significant efforts to inhibit defects in PBAs have been made. In the case of vacancy, the reaction rate was controlled at the synthesis stage to reduce the formation of vacancy, and the crystal water was removed by heat treatment under vacuum. In addition, by adding transition metals that do not react within the structure of PBA, the structural instability during the electrochemical reaction was largely alleviated.

Light Triggerd Thyristor (LTT)는 HVDC 및 산업용 스위치 등에 사용되는 대전력 반도체소자이다. 일반적인 Thyristor가 전기적 신호에 의해 trigger 되는 것과는 다르게 LTT는 광신호에 의해 동작하는 소자이다. 본 논문에서는 5,000V, 2,200A 급의 4인치 LTT 소자의 제작 및 전기적인 특성평가 결과를 기술하였다. 4인치 LTT의 구조적인 특징은 전면부 중앙에 광신호가 주입되는 수광부가 위치해 있으며 입력 전류 증폭을 위한 4-단계 증폭 게이트 (gate) 구조를 가지도록 설계하였다. $400{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ 비저항을 갖는 1mm 두께의 n-형 실리콘 웨이퍼에 boron 이온주입과 열처리 공정으로 약 $30{\mu}m$ 깊이의 p-base를 형성하였으며, 고내압 저지를 위한 edge termination은 VLD (variable lateral doping) 기술을 적용하였다. 제작된 4인치 LTT는 6,500 V의 순방향 항복전압 ($V_{DRM}$) 특성을 나타내었으며, 100V의 어노드전압 ($V_A$)과 20 mA의 게이트전류 ($I_G$)에 의하여 thyristor가 trigger 됨을 확인하였다. 제작한 LTT 소자는 disk형 press-pack 패키지를 진행한 후, LTT의 수광부에 $10{\mu}s$, 50 mW의 900 nm 광 펄스를 조사하여 전류 특성을 평가하였다. LTT 패키지 샘플에 60 Hz 주파수의 광 펄스를 조사한 경우 2,460 A의 순방향 평균전류 ($I_T$)와 $336A/{\mu}s$의 반복전류상승기울기 (repetitive di/dt)에 안정적으로 동작함을 확인하였다. 또한, 펄스 전류 시험의 경우 61.6 kA의 최대 통전 전류 (ITSM, surge current)와 $1,050A/{\mu}s$의 펄스전류 상승 기울기 (di/dt of on-state pulse current)에도 LTT의 손상 없이 동작함을 확인하였다.

Stabilization process is absolutely necessary to convert the precursor fibers into chemically, physically, thermally and structurally stable carbon fibers. Especially, it is critically important for rayon fibers experiencing severe weight loss and thermal shrinkage occurring at the stabilization stage below $400^{\circ}C$. The stabilization of rayon fibers strongly depends not only on stabilization temperature but also on heating rate, chemical pre-treatment, atmosphere, and so on. In the present study, the weight loss, fiber diameter change occurred in the furnace during the stabilization process for rayon fibers produced with various heating rates and in the absence and presence of phosphorous-based flame retardants and the thermal stability of the stabilized fibers were investigated. The result indicates that the weight, diameter and thermal stability of the rayon fibers are significantly affected by the type and amount of the flame retardant used. It is also suggested that the pre-treatment of rayon fibers with a concentration lower than $3\;vol\%$ of phosphoric acid is most desirable for further carbonization process of stabilized rayon fibers.
