  • Transparent and conductive multilayer thin films consisting of three alternating layers FZTO/Ag/$WO_3$ have been fabricated by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering for the applications as transparent conducting oxides and the structural and optical properties of the resulting films were carefully studied. The single layer fluorine doped zinc tin oxide (FZTO) and tungsten oxide ($WO_3$) films grown at room temperature are found to have an amorphous structure. Multilayer structured electrode with a few nm Ag layer embedded in FZTO/Ag/$WO_3$ (FAW) was fabricated and showed the optical transmittance of 87.60 % in the visible range (${\lambda}=380{\sim}770nm$), quite low electrical resistivity of ${\sim}10^{-5}{\Omega}cm$ and the corresponding figure of merit ($T^{10}/R_s$) is equivalent to $3.0{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}^{-1}$. The resultant power conversion efficiency of 2.50% of the multilayer based OPV is lower than that of the reference commercial ITO. Asymmetric D/M/D multilayer is a promising transparent conducting electrode material due to its low resistivity, high transmittance, low temperature deposition and low cost components.

  • Silver nanoparticles coated with silica can be obtained by the reduction of $AgNO_3$ with hydrazine in the presence of NaOH-stabilized, active silicic acid (polysilicic acid). The size of the silver nanoparticles and the silica shell thicknesses were affected by varying the hydrazine content, the active silicic acid content and the experimental method (e.g. hydrothermal method). Typically, silver nanoparticles sized around 40 nm were aggregated, connected by silica. The presence of peaks centered around 400 nm in UV-vis spectra corresponds to the surface plasmon resonance of silver nanoparticles. The size of the aggregated silver nanoparticles increased with increasing hydrazine concentration. Under hydrothermal conditions at $150^{\circ}C$ the formation of individual silica particles was observed and the sizes of the silver nanoparticles were reduced. The hydrothermal treatment of silver nanoparticles at $180^{\circ}C$ gives a well-defined Ag@$SiO_2$ core-shell in aggregated silica sol particles. The absorption band observed at around 412 nm were red-shifted with respect to the uncoated silver nanoparticles (${\lambda}_{max}$ = 399 nm) due to the larger refractive index of silica compared to that of water. The formation of silver nanoparticles coated with silica is confirmed by UV-visible absorption spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) data.

  • MEMS 소자는 현재의 전자산업환경에서 여러 요구조건을 만족시킬 수 있는 특징을 갖추고 있으며 이러한 MEMS 소자를 이용한 MEMS 구조물의 packaging 방법에 있어서는 내부 MEMS 소자의 동작을 위한 외부 환경으로부터의 보호를 위하여 Hermetic sealing에 대한 요구를 충분히 만족시켜야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 MEMS device의 진공 패키지를 구현함에 있어서 기판내부에 수동소자를 실장할 수 있는 LTCC 기술$^{1)}$ 을 이용하여 진공 패키징하는 방법에 대하여 소개한다. 본 기술을 이용하는 경우 기존의 Hermetic sealing이외에 향후 적층 기판 내부에 수동소자를 내장시켜 배선 길이 및 노이즈 성분을 감소시켜 더욱 전기적 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 장점이 있게된다. 본 논문에서는 LTCC기판을 이용하여 패키징 시킨 후, 내부 진공도에 영향을 줄 수 있는 계면들에서의 시간에 따른 진공도 변화로부터 leakage rate를 측정 (stacked via : $4.1{\pm}1.11{\times}10^{-12}$/Torr1/sec, LTCC 기판/AgPd/solder/Cu의 여러 가지 계면구조: $3.4{\pm}0.33{\times}10^{-12}$/ Torrl/sec)하여 LTCC 기판의 Hermetic sealing 특성에 관하여 조사하였다. 실제 적용의 한 예로 LTCC 기술을 이용하여 Bolometer를 성공적으로 진공패키징할 수 있었으며 실제 관찰된 이미지를 함께 소개한다.

  • An integrated inductor using the low-temperature co-fired ceramics(LTCC ) technology for low-power electronics was fabricated. In the inductor NiZn ferrite sheet(${\mu}_r=230$), was embedded to increase inductance. The inductor has Ag spiral coil with 14 turns($7turns{\times}2layers$), a dimension of 0.6mm in width, 10um in thickness, and 0.15mm pitch. To evaluate the inductance, including the parasitic resistance, the fabricated inductor was calculated and measured. It was confirmed that calculated values were very close to the measured values. Finally as an application of the LTCC integrated inductor to low power electronic circuits, a LTCC buck DC/DC converter with 1W output power and up to 0.5MHz switching frequency using the inductor fabricated was develop.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of high voltage pulsed current (HVPC) stimulation on proliferative activities of basal keratinocytes by measured nucleolar organizer region (NOR) expression and thickness of spinous layer in aged rat skin. Fifty-one weeks old twelve male Sprague-Dawley rats (300∼350g) were divided into control and HVPC stimulation groups. Each animal's hair on the back were removed. The HVPC stimulation group received an negative monophasic twin peak pulsed current stimulation with 50 V, while the control group was given the same treatment without electricity. The rats were sacrificed after 3 weeks. The biopsy specimens were fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin and stained with hematoxyline-eosin and silver nitrate. The thickness of basal to granular layer of the epidennis were measured using a light microscope and computerized image analysis system. The number of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer region (AgNOR) were counted using a light microscope and computerized image analysis system and calculated as the mean number of AgNOR per nucleus in the basal keratinocyte. By using a Student's t-test, an increase in the thickness of basal-spinous layer (P<0.001) of epidermis can be observed in HVPC stimulation rats as compared with the control rats, whereas the thickness of the granular layer is not affected. A Student's t-test showed a significantly higher mean NOR number per nucleus of the basal keratinocyte in the HVPC stimulation rats than control rats (P<0.001). There was significantly positive correlation between the NOR number and the thickness of basal-spinous layer (r=0.80, P<0.05). These results suggest that the HVPC stimulation may increase the thickness of spinous layer in the epidennis due to increased proliferative activities of basal keratinocytes in epidennis in aged rat skin.

  • A transparent conducting oxide (TCO) layer was applied in crystalline Si (c-Si) solar cells without use of the conventional SiNx-coating. A high quality indium-tin-oxide (ITO) layer was directly deposited on an emitter layer of a Si wafer. Three different types of emitters were formed by controlling the phosphorous diffusion condition. A light-doped emitter forming a thinner emitter junction showed an improved photoconversion efficiency of 14.1% comparing to 13.2% of a heavy-doped emitter. This was induced by lower recombination within a narrower depletion region of the light-doped emitter. In the aspect of light management, the intermediate refractive index of ITO is effective to reduce the light reflection leading the enhanced carrier generation in a Si absorber. For the electrical aspect, the ITO layer serves as an efficient electrical conductor and thus relieves the burden of high contact resistance of the light-doped emitter. Additionally, the ITO works as a buffer layer of Ag and Si and certainly prevents the shunting problem of Ag penetration into Si emitter region. It discusses an efficient design scheme of TCO-embedded emitter Si solar cells.
