  • c-BN(cubic boron nitride) is known to have extremely high hardness next to diamond, as well as very high thermal and chemical stability. The c-BN in the form of film is useful for wear resistant coatings where the application of diamond film is restricted. However, there is less practical application because of difficult control of processing variables for synthesis of c-BN film as well as unclear mechanism on formation of c-BN. Therefore, in the present study, the structural characterization of c-BN thin film were investigated using $B_4C$ target in r.f. magnetron sputtering system as a function of processing variables. c-BN films were coated on Si(100) substrate using $B_4C$ (99.5% purity). The mixture of nitrogen and argon was used for carrier gas. The deposition processing conditions were changed with substrate bias voltage, substrate temperature and base pressure. Fourier transform infrared microscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyze crystal structures and chemical binding energy of the films. In the case of the BN film deposited at room temperature, c-BN was formed in the substrate bias voltage range of -400 V~ -600 V. Less c-BN fraction was observed as deposition temperature increased and more c-BN fraction was observed as base pressure increased.

  • 현재 박막 트랜지스터는 비정질 실리콘 기반의 개발이 주를 이루고 있으며, 이 비정질 실리콘은 성막공정이 간단하고 대면적에 용이하지만 전기적인 특성이 우수하지 않기 때문에 디스플레이의 적용에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 따라 poly-Si을 이용한 박막 트랜지스터의 연구가 진행되고 있는데, 이는 공정온도가 높고, 대면적에의 응용이 어렵다. 따라서 앞으로 저온 공정이 가능하며 대면적 응용이 용이한 박막 트랜지스터의 연구가 필수적이다. 한편 최근 박막 트랜지스터의 채널층으로 사용되는 물질에는 oxide 기반의 ZnO, SnO2, In2O3 등이 주로 사용되고 있고, 보다 적합한 채널층을 찾기 위한 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔다. 최근 Hosono 연구팀에서 IGZO를 채널층으로 사용하여 high mobility, 우수한 on/off ratio의 특성을 가진 소자 제작에 성공함으로써 이를 시작으로 IGZO의 연구 또한 세계적으로 활발한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 특히, ZnO는 wide band gap (3.37eV)을 가지고 있어 적외선 및 가시광선의 투과율이 좋고, 전기 전도성과 플라즈마에 대한 내구성이 우수하며, 낮은 온도에서도 성막이 가능하다는 특징을 가지고 있다. 그러나 intrinsic ZnO 박막은 bias stress 같은 외부 환경이 변했을 경우 전기적인 성질의 변화를 가져올 뿐만 아니라 고온에서의 공정이 불안정하다는 요인을 가지고 있다. ZnO의 전기적인 특성을 개선하기 위해 본 연구에서는 hafnium을 doping한 ZnO을 channel layer로 소자를 제작하고 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 DC magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 ZnO 기반의 박막 트랜지스터를 제작하였다. Staggered bottom gate 구조로 ITO 물질을 전극으로 사용하였으며, 제작된 소자는 semiconductor analyzer를 이용하여 출력특성과 전이 특성을 평가하였으며, ZnO channel layer 증착시 hafnium이 도핑 되는 양을 조절하여 소자를 제작한 후 intrinsic ZnO의 소자 특성과 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 hafnium을 doping 시킨 소자의 field effect mobility가 $6.42cm^2/Vs$에서 $3.59cm^2/Vs$로 낮아졌지만, subthreshold swing 측면에서는 1.464V/decade에서 0.581V/decade로 intrinsic ZnO 보다 좋은 특성을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 intrinsic ZnO의 경우 외부환경에 대한 안정성 문제가 대두되고 있는데, hafnium을 도핑한 ZnO의 경우 temperature, bias temperature stability, 경시변화 등의 다양한 조건에서의 안정성이 확보된다면 intrinsic ZnO 박막트랜지스터의 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 물질로 될 것이라고 기대된다.

  • Analyzing the 2009 Korean General Social Survey(KGSS), this study attempts to elucidate the mechanism how content-irrelevant response patterns are formed in the social survey. This study investigates the relationship between personality traits and response styles. Specifically, the effects of Big Five factors(extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, openness to experience) of personality on the acquiescent response styles(ARS) and extreme response styles(ERS) are examined, controlling for individual characteristics and interview contexts. The results show that ERS is positively affected by extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, whereas ARS is not significantly associated with any dimension of personality traits. The implications of findings and the methods to reduce response bias are discussed.

  • This study suggests the adjustment method of cadastral non-coincidence using spatial data referenced digital cadastral map and a present state. In designing the methodology, we should introduce the semi-automatic method for guaranteeing the stability and the accuracy at the arrangement of cadastral non-coincidence based on some cadastral specialist. This study could mainly show you rotation type, bias type, and rotation/bias type among cadastral non-coincidence types. We selected the matching reference point through the prototype system which automatically arranges in the study area. And then, we analysis the optimum rotation ratio(-0.4%). Finally, this paper show you calibrating cadastral non-coincidence using the rotation ratio. The methodology of this study has a limitation for arranging in case of cadastral non-coincidence by the area variation and some irregular types with unknown reason. Therefore, this case should be surveyed in direct method.

  • Soution-processed ZrInZnO (ZIZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with varying Zr content were fabricated. The ZIZO TFT (Zr=20 at. %/Zn) has an optimal performance with the saturation field effect mobility of 0.77 $cm^2/Vs$, the threshold voltage (Vth) of 2.1 V, the on/off ratio of $4.95{\times}10^6$, and subthreshold swing (S.S) of 0.73 V/decade. Using this optimized ZIZO TFT, the positive and negative gate bias stress according to annealing temperature was also investigated. While the Vth shifts dramatically after 1,000 s of both gate bias stresses, variations in the S.S are negligible. It suggests that electrons or holes are tem porarily trapped in the gate insulator, the semiconductor, or the interface between both layers.

  • Understanding charge trapping at the interface between conjugated semiconductor and polymer dielectric basically gives insight into the development of long-term stable organic field-effect transistors (OFET). Here, the charge transport properties of OFETs using polymer dielectric with various molecular weights (MWs) have been investigated. The conjugated semiconductor, pentacene exhibited morphology and crystallinity, insensitive to MWs of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) dielectric. Consequently, transfer curves and field-effect mobilities of as-prepared devices are independent of MWs. Under bias stress in humid environment, however, the drain current decay as well as transfer curve shift are found to increase as the MW of PMMA decreases (MW effect). The charge trapping induced by MW effect is irreversible, that is, the localized charges are difficult to be delocalized. The MW effect is caused by the variation in the density of polymer chain ends in the PMMA: the free volumes at the PMMA chain ends act as charge trap sites, corresponding to drain current decay depending on MWs of PMMA.

  • The Mn$\_$80/Ir$\_$18.1/Pt$\_$1.9/ exchange bias layers (EBLs), which have a small amounts of Pt, exhibit a high value of H$\_$ex/. The Si/Ni-Fe/Mn$\_$80/Ir$\_$18.1/Pt$\_$1.9/ EBL shows the largest H$\_$ex/ of 187 Oe, which is equivalent to a exchange energy (J$\_$ex/) of 0.146 erg/cm$^2$. Mn$\_$80/Ir$\_$18.1/Pt$\_$1.9/ EBLS are estimated to have blocking temperature of about 250 $\^{C}$, which is higher than those of Mn-Ir EBLs and Mn-Ir-Pt EBLs with higher Pt contents. This result implies that a little addition of Pt element promotes thermal stability in the Mn-Ir-Pt EBLs. The chemical stability of Mn-Ir-Pt EBLs was characterized by potentiodynamic test, which was performed in 0.001 M NaCl solution. The current density of Mn-Ir-Pt films was gradually reduced with increasing Pt content. The present results indicate that the Mn-Ir-Pt with a small amount of Pt is suitable for an antiferromagnetic material for a reliable spin valve giant magnetoresistance device.

  • The holes with a diameter of $35{\mu}m$ inside the GMR-SV (giant magnetoresistance-spin valve) film were patterned by using the photolithography process and ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) Ar-ion milling. From the magnetoresistance curves of the GMR-SV film with holes measuring by 4-electrode method, the MR (magnetoresistance ratio) and MS (magnetic sensitivity) are almost same as the values of initial states. On other side hand, the $H_{ex}$ (exchange bias coupling field) and $H_c$ (coercivity) dominantly increased from 120 Oe and 10 Oe to 190 Oe and 41 Oe as increment of the number of holes inside GMR-SV film respectively. These results were shown to be attributed to major effect of EMD (easy magnetic domian) having a region positioned between two holes perpendicular to the sensing current. On the basis of this study, the fabrication of GMR-SV applying to the hole formation improved the magnetoresistance properties having the thermal stability and durability of bio-device.

  • We implemented a PLDRO(Phase Locked Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) using the concept of the feedback property of PLL(Phase Locked Loop) for Ku-band(10.95-11.70 GHz). The conventional approaches to a PLDRO design use varactor diode tuning method.. But in theis paper, the PLDRO has the advantage of the frequency sensitivity to changes in the supple voltage of the oscillating device without the frequency-variable part by varactor diode voltage-control. and uses a SPD(Sampling Phase Detector) for phase-comparision. The PLDRO is composed of the DRO phase-locked to the reference signal of UHF band by using a SPD for high frequency stability and can be available for European FSS(Fixed Satellite Service) at 10.00GHz. The PLDRO generates the output power of 8.67 dBm at 10.00 GHz and has a phase noise of -81 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from carrier. The hamonic and spurious characteristics have -42.33 dBc and -65dBc respectively. This PLDRO has much better frequency stability, lower phase noise, and more economical effect for a satellite system than conventional DRO.
