망막의 신경절세포는 눈에 가해진 시각 정보를 흥분파의 형태로 변환하여 시신경을 통하여 대뇌의 시각피질까지 전달한다. 과거에 사용하여 왔던 방법은 단일 전극을 단일 뉴론의 세포내, 외에 삽입함으로써 특정 시간대에 특정 뉴론만을 기록하는 방법이었으므로 신경망 전체를 통하여 처리되어 나오는 정보를 알아보기에는 적합하지 않다. 다행히 최근에 다채널 전극을 사용하여 여러 신경세포에서 나오는 신호를 동시에 기록할 수 있는 다채널기록법(multichannel recording) 이 개발되었으므로 본 연구에서는 8행 ${\times}$ 8열의 다채널전극을 사용한 다채널기록법을 이용하여 망막신경절세포 군집의 흥분파를 기록, 분석함으로써 단일 신경세포가 아닌 망막 신경망을 거쳐 최종적으로 나오는 신호에 대해서 연구하였다. 전극에 부착된 망막 절편에 2초 동안 빛을 가하고 5초 동안 빛이 차단되는 자극을 반복적으로 인가한 후, PSTH 분석방법으로 망막 신경절세포를 ON 세포, OFF세포, ON/OFF세포의 세가지 유형으로 분류할 수 있었으며, ON 세포: 35.0$\pm$4.4%, OFF 세포： 30.4$\pm$1.9%, ON/OFF 세포： 34.6$\pm$5.3% (전체 망막절편수=8)로 분포되어 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 상호상관(Cross-Correlation) 분석방법을 통해서 인접한 세포들끼리 매우 짧은 시간대에(<1 ms) 동기화된 흥분을 발사함을 확인할 수 있었고, 동기화된 흥분은 6～8개의 세포로 구성된 세포 클러스터에서 일어남을 확인하였다. 즉 개개의 신경절세포들이 빛 자극을 처리함에 있어 독립적으로 작용한다는 기존의 가정과는 달리 인접한 세포끼리는 동기화된 흥분을 보이는 것을 확인하였으며, 이러한 방식은 시세포 수와 신경절세포 수의 불균형으로 인해 초래되는 병목현상을 완화할 수 있는 효과적인 기전으로 생각된다.

Nb silicide was formed on the Si micro-tip arrays in order to improve field emission properties of Si-tip field emitter array. After silicidization of the tips, the etch-back process, by which gate insulator, gate electrode and photoresist were deposited sequentially and gate holes were defined by removing gradually the photoresist by $O_2$ plasma from the surface, was applied. Si nitride film was used as a protective layer in order to prevent oxygen from diffusion into Nb silicide layer and it was identified that the NbSi2 was formed through annealing in $N_2$ ambient at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. By the Nb silicide coating on Si tips, the turn-on voltage was decreased from 52.1 V to 32.3 V and average current fluctuation for 1 hour was also reduced from 5% to 2%. Also, the fabricated Nb silicide-coated Si tip FEA emitted electrons toward the phosphor and light emission was obtained at the gate voltage of 40~50 V.

Geological and electrical resistivity surveys along the survey line of about 3 km between Kyungsangbukdo Youngilgun Hodong and Gwangmyungdong using by dipole-dipole electrode array method were carried out to examine the boundary and structural relationship between Tertiary Pohang and Janggi basins. Electrical resistivity data were interpreted qualitatively and quantitatively by means of pseudosection of apparent electrical resitivity distribution and finite difference method for two dimensional geologic structure model. The nearly vertical fault zone with low electrical resistivity value of 1-5 Ohm-m and widths of about 200m at the surface and 400 m at depth exists around 1.2 km west of national road between Ocheoneup and Yangbukmyun. Mudrocks, sandstones and tuffaceous rocks are widely distributed with electrical resistivity values of 6-77 Ohm-m. Especially, tuffaceous rocks with relatively high electrical resistivity value are predominant at eastern side of fault zone. Consequently, it is known that Pohang and Janggi basins are in fault contact.

In this work, mechanical characteristics of stainless steel diaphragm have been studied as a potential robust substrate and a diaphragm material for micromachined devices. Lamination process techniques combined with traditional micromachining processes have been adopted as suitable fabrication technologies. To illustrate these principles, capacitive pressure sensors based on a stainless steel diaphragm have been designed, fabricated and characterized. The fabrication process for stainless steel micromachined devices keeps the membrane and substrate being at the environment of 8.65MPa pressure and $175^{\circ}C$ for a half hour and then subsequently cooled to $25^{\circ}C$. Each sensor uses a stainless steel substrate, a laminated stainless steel film as a suspended movable plate and a fixed, surface micromachined back electrode of electroplated nickel. The finite element method is adopted to investigate residual stresses formed in the process. Besides, out-of-plane deflections are calculated under pressures on the diaphragm. The sensitivity of the device fabricated using these technologies is 9.03 ppm $kPa^{-1}$ with a net capacitance change of 0.14 pF over a range 0$\sim$180 kPa.

The polymer-light emtting diodes(PLEDs) were comprised a design of OLED array, process develop by using ITO thin glass, and fabrication of PDMS stamp by using nanocontact printing. In the study, we describe a different approach for building OLEDs, which is based on physical lamination of thin metal electrodes supported by a PDMS stamp layer against an electroluminescent organic. We develop that devices fabricated in this manner have better performance than those constructed with standard processing techniques. The lamination approach avoids forms of disruption that can be introduced at the electrode organic interface by metal evaporation and has a reduced sensitivity to pinhole or partial pinhole defects. Also, it is easy to build patterned PLED with feature sizes into the nanometer regime. This method provides a new route to PLED for applications ranging from high performance displays to storage and lithography systems, and PLED can used for organic electronics and flexible display.

The conventional in-plane field driven-vertical alignment display (VA-IPS) shows fast response time but transmittance shows very low and operating voltage is very high. In this paper, we studies electro-optical properties of the novel in-plane field driven vertical alignment device which has two transistors on array part and common electrode on CF substrate with dielectric layer. The device shows fast response time and high transmittance.

Surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD), which is widely used to control turbulence in aerodynamics, has a significant effect on the radar cross-section (RCS). A four-way linearly synthesized SDBD air plasma actuator is designed to bolster the plasma effects on electromagnetic waves. The diffraction angle is calculated to predict the RCS because of the periodic structure of staggered electrodes. The simplified plasma modeling is utilized to calculate the inhomogeneous surface plasma distribution. Monostatic RCS shows the diffraction in the plane perpendicular to the electrode array and the notable distortion by plasma. In comparison, the overall pattern is maintained in the parallel plane with minor plasma effects. The trends also appear in the bistatic RCS, which has a significant difference in the observation plane perpendicular to the electrodes. The peaks by Bragg's diffraction are shown, and the RCS is reduced by 10 dB in a certain range by the plasma effect. The diffraction caused by the actuator and the inhomogeneous air plasma should be considered in designing an SDBD actuator for a wide range of application.

Recently, $TiO_2$ nanotubes have considerably researched because of their novel application about photocatalysis, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), lithium ion battery, etc. In this work, self-standing $TiO_2$ nanotube arrays were fabricated by anodic oxidation method using pure Ti foil as a working electrode in ethylene glycole with 0.3M $NH_4F$ + $2%H_2O$. Growth behavior of $TiO_2$ nanotube arrays was compared according to temperature, voltage and time. The morphology, structure and crystalline of anodized $TiO_2$ nanotube arrays were observed by FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscope) and XRD (X-ray diffraction).
