We present a simple semiconductor process to fabricate nanogap arrays for application in molecular electronics and nano-bio electronics using a combination of freestanding silicon nanowires and angle evaporation. The gap distance is modulated using the height of the silicon dioxide, the width of the Si nanowires, and the evaporation angle. In addition, we fabricate and apply the nanogap arrays in single-electron transistors using DNA-linked Au nanoparticles for the detection of DNA hybridization.

With support from the K-GMT science program (PID: GN-2016B-Q-14), we conducted observations of active asteroid 354P/LINEAR (2010 A2) when it made its closest approach to Earth (i.e., the geocentric distance of 1.06 au on 2017 January 27-28). Taking advantage of the best observing geometry since the discovery, we obtained the first evidence for the rotational status of the largest fragment (~120 m in diameter), which was slowly rotating, that is, the rotational period of 11.36 hours. In addition, we succeed in direct imaging of 10 sub-fragments (~20 m in diameter or larger). Based on these new observational results, we conjecture that this active asteroid was created as a result of catastrophic collision among unknown asteroids. The details of this work are given in Astrophysical Journal Letters, 842, L23.

In recent years, matrix-free laser desorption ionization (LDI) for mass spectrometry of thermally labile molecules has been an important research subject in the pursuit of new ionization methods to serve as alternatives to the conventional matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) method. While many recent studies have reported successful LDI of thermally labile molecules from various surfaces, mostly from surfaces with nanostructures, understanding of what drives the LDI process still requires further study. This article briefly reviews the thermal aspects involved in the LDI mechanism, which can be characterized as rapid surface heating. The thermal mechanism was supported by observed LDI and postsource decay (PSD) of peptide ions produced from flat surfaces with special thermal properties including amorphous Si (a-Si) and tungsten silicide ($WSi_x$). In addition, the concept of rapid surface heating further suggests a practical strategy for the preparation of LDI sample plates, which allows us to choose various surface materials including crystalline Si (c-Si) and Au tailorable to specific applications.

The properties of Ni/Au Ohmic contacts formed on nonpolar a-plane GaN grown on r-plane sapphire substrate with different tilt angles are investigated using current-voltage (I-V) measurements. To investigate the effects of pattern direction and size on Ohmic contact properties of a-plane GaN, transmission line method (TLM) patterns are formed either along c-axis and m-axis on nonpolar GaN surface with different size. I-V measurement results show that the size of TLM pattern and formation direction of electrode have an effect on the electrical properties of a-plane GaN. The large sized patterns show the relatively lower sheet resistance compared to the small sized patterns. In addition, the sheet resistance of a-plane GaN along m-axis shows lower values than that along the c-axis. Finally, the effects of miscut angle of r-sapphire substrate ($0.2^{\circ}$, 0.4oand $0.6^{\circ}$) on electrical properties of a-plane GaN will be discussed.

In this paper, we propose an AlGaN/GaN-based extended-gate metal-insulator-semiconductor high electron mobility transistor (MISHEMT)-type biosensor for detecting streptavidin-biotin complexes. We measure the drain current of the fabricated sensor, which varies depending on the antibody-antigen reaction of streptavidin with biotin molecules. To confirm the immobilization of biotin polyethylene glycol (PEG) thiol, we analyze the Au surface of a GaN sample using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The proposed biosensor shows higher sensitivity than Si-based extended-gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET)-type biosensor. In addition, the proposed AlGaN/GaN-based extended-gate MISHEMT-type biosensor exhibits better long-term stability, compared to the conventional AlGaN/GaN-based MISHEMT-type biosensor.

Novel structured thin film transistors (TFTs) of amorphous silicon zinc tin oxide (a-SZTO) were designed and fabricated with a thin metal layer between the source and drain electrodes. A SZTO channel was annealed at $500^{\circ}C$. A Ti/Au electrode was used on the SZTO channel. Metals are deposited between the source and drain in this novel structured TFTs. The mobility of the was improved from $14.77cm^2/Vs$ to $35.59cm^2/Vs$ simply by adopting the novel structure without changing any other processing parameters, such as annealing condition, sputtering power or processing pressure. In addition, stability was improved under the positive bias thermal stress and negative bias thermal stress applied to the novel structured TFTs. Finally, this novel structured TFT was observed to be less affected by back-channel effect.

Hydrogen peroxide is a radiolysis product of water formed under gamma-irradiation; therefore, its reliable detection is crucial in the nuclear industry for spent fuel management and coolant chemistry. This study proposes an electrochemical sensor for hydrogen peroxide detection. Cysteamine (CYST), gold nanoparticles (GNPs), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were used in the modification of a gold electrode for fabricating Au/CYST/GNP/HRP sensor. Each modification step of the electrode was investigated through electrochemical and physical methods. The sensor exhibited strong sensitivity and stability for the detection and measurement of hydrogen peroxide with a linear range of 1-9 mM. In addition, the Michaelis-Menten kinetic equation was applied to predict the reaction curve, and a quantitative method to define the dynamic range is suggested. The sensor is highly sensitive to H₂O₂ and can be applied as an electrochemical H₂O₂-sensor in the nuclear industry.

The B-fields in Star-forming Region Observations (BISTRO) is a large program of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) to study the roles of magnetic fields in molecular clouds on intermediate scales (a few thousands au or larger scales), in which a large number of researchers over the world are involved. This project was initiated in 2016 with polarimetric observations of nearby star-forming regions and has been extended toward massive and farther regions (BISTRO-2) and various evolutionary stages and environmental conditions (BISTRO-3). The current status of the BISTRO projects is reported. In addition, we discuss magnetic fields in the Serpens Main molecular cloud, which is one of the BISTRO star-forming regions. Utilizing the Histogram of Relative Orientations method, which compares polarization directions with density gradients, we show that magnetic fields are parallel to filaments in less dense filamentary structures but perpendicular to dense ones. Furthermore, the magnetic field directions with respect to density gradients vary again with density in denser core regions, which is understood by core formation and pinched fields. Note: (PI) D.

본 연구에서는 그래핀 산화(graphene oxide, GO) 분말 첨가가 ball grid array(BGA) 패키지와 printed circuit board(PCB)간 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu(SAC305) 무연솔더 접합부의 electromigration(EM) 수명에 미치는 영향에 대하여 보고 하였다. 솔더 접합 직후, Ni/Au표면처리된 패키지 접합계면에서는 $(Cu,Ni)_6Sn_5$가 생성되었으며 organic solderability preservative(OSP) 표면처리 된 PCB 접합계면에서는 $Cu_6Sn_5$ 금속간화합물(intermetallic compound, IMC)이 생성되었다. $130^{\circ}C$, $1.0{\times}10^3A/cm^2$ 전류밀도 하에서 EM 수명평가 결과, GO를 첨가하지 않은 솔더 접합부의 평균 파괴 시간은 189.9 hrs으로 도출되었고, GO를 첨가한 솔더 접합부의 평균 파괴 시간은 367.1 hrs으로 도출되었다. EM에 의한 손상은 패키지 접합계면에 비하여 pad 직경이 작은 PCB 접합계면에서 전자 유입에 의한 Cu의 소모로 인하여 발생하였다. 한편, 첨가된 GO는 하부계면의 $Cu_6Sn_5$ IMC와 솔더 사이에 분포하는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, SAC305 무연솔더에 첨가된 GO가 전류 집중 영역에서 Cu의 빠른 확산을 억제하여 우수한 EM 신뢰성을 갖는 것으로 생각된다.

삼광광산은 옥천대의 서부에 위치하는 백악기의 금-은 광상으로서 선캠브리아기의 화강편마암내에 배태되어 있다. 광산의 금과 은의 품위는 각각 8.4 g/t, 13.6 g/t으로서 가채 매장장은 335.000 MT으로 추정된다. 이 광상은 Au-Ag광물 이외에 유비철석, 방연석, 섬아연석, 황동석, 황철석, 자류철석을 함유하는 열수성 석영맥상광상이다. 광상을 이루는 맥들의 구조를 근거로 할 때 광화작용의 구조규제는 $N40^{\circ}-80^{\circ}E$ 주향과 $55^{\circ}SE$-수직의 경사를 보이는 본맥의 생성, EW주향과 $30^{\circ}-80^{\circ}S$의 경사를 보이는 상반맥의 발달 그리고 $N25^{\circ}-40^{\circ}W$ 주향과 $65^{\circ}-80^{\circ}SW$ 경사를 갖는 국성맥의 생성 등 3가지로 나눌 수 있다. 광상배태의 구조운동은 이 지역에 발달하는 주향이동단층의 최소응력축$({\sigma}_3)$과 관련이 있으며 광맥은 이때에 발생한 열극을 충진한 것으로서 다음과 같이 5단계로 해석된다. (1) NS계의 불연속면에 예각으로 작용한 주응력 $({\sigma}_1)$에 의한 주단층$(F_1)$의 생성, (2) 이와 동시에 발달한 인장파쇄대 $(T_1)$를 충진한 국성맥의 생성. (3) 단층의 계속적인 성장과 $T_1$의 경사가 커짐에 따른 $T_2$(대홍맥)의 계속적 발달, (4) ${\sigma}_1$이 우수향을 보일 때 발달하는 $T_3$(염기성 암맥)의 관입, (5) 역단층의 활동에 의한 국사봉액으로부터 상반액의 생성이 있었던 것으로 보인다.
