  • Boron carbide thin coatings were deposited on silicon wafers by DC magnetron sputtering using a ${B}_4$C target with Ar as processing gas. Various amounts of methane gas (${CH}_4$) were added in the deposition process to better understand their influence on tribological properties of the coatings. Reciprocating wear tests employing an oscillating friction wear tester were performed to investigate the tribological behaviors of the coatings in ambient environment. The chemical characteristics of the coatings and worn surfaces were studied using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). It revealed that ${CH}_4$addition to Ar processing gas strongly affected the tribologcal properties of sputtered boron carbide coating. The coefficient of friction was reduced approximately from 0.4 to 0.1, and wear resistance was improved considerably by increasing the ratio of ${CH}_4$gas component from 0 to 1.2 vol %. By adding a sufficient amount of ${CH}_4$(1.2 %) in the deposition process, the boron carbide coating exhibited lowest friction and highest wear resistance.

  • Boron carbide thin coatings were deposited on silicon wafers by DC magnetron sputtering using a $B_4C$ target with As as processing gas. Various amounts of methane gas $(CH_4)$ were added in the deposition process to better understand their influence on tribological properties of the coatings.

  • AC PDP에서 유전체 보호막으로 사용되는 MgO 박막은 높은 이차전자방출계수($\gamma$)로 인해 방전전압을 낮춰주는 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 이러한 MgO 보호막의 이차전자방출계수를 증가시키기 위해 MgO 의 Energy Band Structure 규명이 중요한 연구 주제가 되고 있다. MgO의 이차전자방출계수($\gamma$)는 Auger 중화 이론에 의해 방출 메커니즘이 설명이 되고, 그 원리는 다음과 같다. 고유의 이온화 에너지를 가진 이온이 MgO 표면에 입사 되면, Tunneling Effect에 의해 전자와 이온 사이에 중화가 일어나고, 중화가 되고 남은 에너지가 MgO Valance Band 내의 전자에게 전달되면 이때 남은 에너지(${\Delta}E$)가 MgO의 일함수(Work function) 보다 크게 되면 이차전자로 방출된다. 본 실험 에서는 $\gamma$-FIB System을 이용하여 결정 방향이 (100), (110), (111)을 갖는 Single Crystal MgO에 이온화 에너지가 24.58eV인 He Ion source를 주사 하였을 때 Auger self-convolution을 통해 이차전자의 운동 에너지 분포를 구하고, 이를 통해 MgO 내의 Energy Band Structure를 실험적으로 측정하였다. 이를 통해 MgO Single Crystal의 일함수 및 Defect Level의 분포를 확인하였다.

  • A plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition(PEALD) system has been constructed adopting an inductively coupled plasma(ICP) source with an ALD system, and its plasma generation was carried out. Cobalt thin films were deposited on a p-type Si(100) wafer at $230^{\circ}C$. $Co_{2}(CO)_{6}$ was used as a cobalt precursor, $NH_{3}$ as a reactant, and Ar as a carrier and purge gas. The properties of the thin films were investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) and auger electron spectroscopy(AES). Large amounts of impurities were found in both the ALD film and the PEALD film, however, the amount of impurities in the PEALD film was reduced to about 50 % compared to that in the ALD film. It was found that $NH_{3}$ plasma, very effectively, induces the reaction with carbon in a cobalt precursor.

  • Alloyed ohmic contact properties of Au-Zn/Au, Au-Be/Au,Au-Zn/Cr/Au, and Au-Be/Cr/Au metal system to p-InP were investigated. Optimum alloying conditions were obtained at the annealing temperature of 425\ulcorner for all the metal systems using a rapid thermal annealing system. Surface AES analysis and auger depth profiling were done for each metal system annealed at the optimum conditions. Outdiffusions of In and P from the InP substrate were found in the metal systems without Cr intermediate layer. Also, small amount of In. P and Cr were detected at the surface in the case of Au-Zn/Cr/Au system, while there were occured no outdiffusion of In, P, and Cr for Au-Be/Cr/Au system. The best surface morpholoty and specific contact resistivity of 4.5x 10**-5 \ulcornercm\ulcornerhave been obtained in this Au-Be/Cr/Au material system alloyed at 425\ulcorner for 60 second.

  • One of the obstructing factors against managing dairy fm has been heavy labor requirement for feeding dairy cows. A Power-tiller TMF mixer was developed to reduce the cost and to provide economic benefit. The TMF mixer was desisted by the feeding capacity of 20∼30 heads at a batch with various functioning systems of auger type mixer, delivery conveyer, weighing console, pipe heater type heating system, power transmission train and mounting trailer. According to the study resulted, it showed that 1,200rpm, 1,600rpm, 2,000rpm and 2,300rpm were 6ps. Bps, lops and 12ps respectively. and that reduced shaft output by 15%. On the fodder mixer attached powertiller, initial output was necessary large torque. And the heating system was maintaining uniform temperature 60$^{\circ}C$ relatively.

  • In the past decades, complain about ground vibration and noise induced by pile driving has been quickly increased. Because of that, auger The role of train has expanded as mass transportation according to the increase of train passenger. The train operation personnel are more emphasis on the safety of train operation due to the increase of train's role. The reason is that the train transports many people daily. So, if there is natural disaster, such as earthquake, flood, high temperature, and so on, it will become disaster. Therefore, this paper introduces and proposes wayside detection system, which can be helpful for the safety assurance of train operation.

  • Ion-surface collision studies at low kinetic energies (1-100 eV) provide a unique opportunity for investigating reactions and collision dynamics at surfaces. A special ion optics system for generating an energy- and mass-selected ion beam of this energy is designed and constructed. An ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) reaction chamber, in which the ions generated from the beamline collide with a solid surface, is equipped with Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and thermal desorption spectrometry (TDS) as in-situ surface analytical tools. The resulting beam from the system has the following characteristics : ion current of 5-50 nA, energy spread < 2eV, current stability within ${\pm}5%,$ and unit mass resolution below 20 amu. The performance of the instrument is illustrated with data representing the implantation behavior of $Ar^+$ into a graphite (0001) surface.
