  • In recent years, various researches have been conducted to improve process yields in accordance with miniaturization of semiconductor. APC(Advanced Process Control) is considered one of the methods to increase in process yields. APC is a process control technology that maintains optimal process conditions and improves the reliability of results by controlling and formulating the relationship among the various process parameters and results. We built up an optical diagnostic system with a three-channel spectrometer. The system detects signals those represent the changes of specific emission peaks intensity versus each reference and converts it into MFC control signals to get back the changes to the reference state. Controlling the MFC continues until the specific peak intensity changes into the normal state. Through this device, we tested a APC automatically responding to process changes during the plasma process. We could control gas flow while sputtering process on going and improve uniformity of plasma intensity with this system. Finally, we have got results those enhance the plasma intensity non-uniformity to 7.7% from 15.5%. Also, found unexpected oxygen flow what is estimated to be come out from IGZO target.

  • Membranes are a central feature of all biological systems and their ability to control many cellular processes is critically important. As a result, a better understanding of how molecules bind to biological membranes is an active area of research. In this report, the interaction between our biomimetic structures and different biological membranes is reported using both model vesicle and in vitro bacterial cell experiments. These results show that lipid composition is more important for selectivity than overall net charge. An effort is made to connect model vesicle studies with in vitro data and naturally occurring lipid compositions.

  • While examining specimens collected in the shallow waters of Korea from 1995 to 2004, we found that Ampelisca bocki Dahl and A. naikaiensis Nagata were newly added to Korean fauna. We also provide description for A. brevicornis (Costa) based on materials collected from Korea. As a result, six species of Ampelisca are reported in Korea.

  • Two diastylid species, Dimorphostylis manazuruensis Gamo(1960) and Dimorphostylis longicauda Gamo(1962), are recorded as new to Korea cumacean fauna. The subadult male of D. longicauda is described for the first time. As a result, the genus Dimorphostylis found in Korean waters now consists of eight species.

  • Polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) are a group of polymethoxylated bioactive flavones with diverse biological activities, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral activities. PMFs are found from various plants such as orange, tangerine, and krachaidum. To establish the simple quantitative analytical methods for PMFs, chromatographic analysis was applied to the selected krachaidum foods because krachaidum contains diverse PMFs compared to other PMF-containing foods. Krachaidum is the rhizome of Kaempferia parviflora, and many commercial krachaidum products, such as tea, juice and wine, are commercially available and consumed as health functional foods in Asian countries. Apart from the claimed health promoting benefits, reliable quality assurance and legal guideline for the registration of these products are not available yet. Twelve PMFs were analyzed from the commercial krachaidum foods by GC-FID and HPLC-DAD. No single chromatographic method could not analyze 12 PMFs simultaneously. HPLC-DAD method was found more sensitive to detect PMFs. Based on our analysis data, we proposed 5,7-dimethoxyflaone and 5,7,4'-trimethoxyflavone as index components for the food products.

  • Neural Networks, modeled succinctly from the real nervous system of a living body, can be categorized into two folds; artificial neural network(ANN) and biological neural network(BNN). While the former has been developed to solve practical problems using function approximation capability, pattern classification) clustering algorithm, etc, the latter has been focused on verifying the information processing capability to which brain research gives an impetus, by mimicking real biological systems. However, BNN suffers Iron severe nonlinearities dealt with. A bridge between two neural networks is chaotic neural network(CNN), which simply delineate the real nor-vous system and comprises almost all the ANN structures by selecting parameters. Main research theme of this area is to develop an explanation tool to clarify the information processing mechanism in biological systems and its extension to engineering applications. The CNN has a Gaussian-shaped refractory function with hysteresis effect and the chaotic responses of it have been observed fur a wide range of parameter space. Through the examination of the coupling effects of excitatory and inhibitory connections, the secrets of information processing and memory structure will appear.
