임팩트이온화는 고전계하에서 고에너지를 지닌 캐리어간 산란으로써 전자전송해석에 필수적인 요소이다. 그러나 포물선 또는 비포물선 E-k관계는 고에너지에서 실제 밴드구조와 매우 상이한 결과를 나타내므로 임팩트이온화에 대한 정화한 모델은 풀밴드 E-k관계와 페르미의 황금법칙을 이용하여 제시하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 풀밴드를 이용하여 실리콘 임팩트이온화율에 영향을 미치는 상태밀도와 에너지밴드구조 관계, overlap integral의 에너지에 대한 변화를 조사 분석하였다. 실리콘의 에너지밴드구조를 구하기 위하여 경험적 의사포텐셜방법을 사용하였으며 상태밀도를 구하기 위하여 사면체방법을 사용하였다. 또한 임팩트이온화율을 구하기 위하여 페르미의 황금법칙들 사용하였다. 결과적으로 상태밀도는 에너지증가에 따라 단조 증가하는 임팩트이온화율과 달리 에너지밴드구조에 따라 변화하였다. 그러나 overlap integral은 에너지증가에 따라 큰 값을 갖는 분포가 증가함으로써 임팩트이온화율에 직접 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

실리콘 태양전지의 효율을 향상하기 위해서는 소수 캐리어의 높은 수명이 필수조건이다. 따라서, 이를 달성하기 위한 실리콘 표면결함을 없애줄 수 있는 부동화(passivation) 기술이 매우 중요하다. 일반적으로 PECVD 법이나 열산화 공정을 통해 얻어진 $SiO_2$ 박막이 부동화 층으로 많이 사용되나 1000도에 이르는 고온 공정과 낮은 열적 안정성이 문제로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 원자층 증착법을 이용하여 400도 미만의 저온 공정을 통해 $Al_2O_3$ 부동화 박막을 형성하였다. $Al_2O_3$ 박막은 고유의 음의 고정 전하밀도로 인해 낮은 표면 재결합속도를 보이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 질소 도핑을 통해 높은 음의 고정 전하 밀도를 얻고 이를 통해 좀 더 향상된 실리콘 표면 부동화 특성을 얻고자 하였다.

Switching an elementary excitation by injecting a single carrier would offer the exciting opportunity for the ultra-high data storage technologies. However, there has been no methodology available to investigate the interaction of low energy discrete carriers with nano-structures. In order to map out the spatial dependency of such single carrier level interactions, we developed a pulse-and-probe algorithm, combining with low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. The new tool, which we call single carrier spectroscopy, allows us to track the interaction with the target macrostructure with tunneling carriers on a single carrier basis. Using this tool, we demonstrate that it is possible not only to locally write and erase individual bi-solitons, reliably and reversibly, but also to track of creation yields of single and multiple bi-solitons. Bi-solitons are pairs of solitons that are elementary out-of-phase excitations on anti-ferromagnetically ordered pseudo-spin system of Si dimers on Si(001)-c(42) surfaces. We found that at low energy tunneling the single bisoliton creation mechanism is not correlated with the number of carriers tunneling, but with the production of a potential hole under the tip. An electric field at the surface determines the density of the local charge density under the tip, and band-bending. However a rapid, dynamic change of a field produces a potential hole that can be filled by energetic carriers, and the amount of energy released during filling process is responsible for the creation of bi-solitons. Our model based on the field-induced local hole gives excellent explanation for bi-soliton yield behaviors. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy data supports the existence of such a potential hole. The mechanism also explains the site-dependency of bi-soliton yields, which is highest at the trough, not on the dimer rows. Our study demonstrates that we can manipulate not just single atoms and molecules, but also single pseudo-spin excitations as well.

Concerns related to the safety of bulk carriers we, most of all, the increasing number of bulk carrier accidents which amount to 425 during last 20 years; half of them are totally lost. A number of bulk tarriers are still missing. Bulk carrier safety has become an international issue since 1995. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) embarked on the legislation as a countermeasure to the increasing number of the bulk carrier accidents. The IMO discussed in the safety of bulk carriers including the strength of transverse watertight bulkheads, especially when the ship carries high density cargoes and the damage stability of bulk carriers in the flooded condition. In this study, statistics and causes of accidents of bulk carriers are analyzed in order to identify special features of bulk carrier accident and causes of the casualty. This study examines certain cases of hull collapses and severence which resulted in sinking to infer possible causes of missing ships.

We investigated the effect of mechanical back side damage in viewpoint of electrical and surface morphological characteristics in Czochralski silicon wafer. The intensity of mechanical damage was evaluated by minority carrier recombination lifetime by laser excitation/microwave reflection photoconductance decay technique, atomic force microscope, optical microscope, wet oxidation/preferential etching methods. The data indicate that the higher the mechanical damage degree, the lower the minority carrier lifetime, and surface roughness, damage depth and density of oxidation induced stacking fault increased proportionally.

Photoluminescence (PL) properties of GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were analyzed to study the effects of carrier leakage on the luminescence properties at room temperature. The electrical leakage and PL properties were compared for LEDs showing leakages at forward bias and an LED with an intentional leakage path formed by connecting a parallel resistance of various values. The leakages at the forward bias, which could be observed from the current-voltage characteristics, resulted in an increase in the excitation laser power density for the maximum PL efficiency (ratio of PL intensity to excitation power) as well as a reduction in the PL intensity. The effect of carrier leakages on PL properties was similar to the change in PL properties owing to a reduction of the photovoltage by a reverse current since the direction of the carrier movement under photoexcitation is identical to that of the reverse current. Valid relations between PL properties and electrical properties were observed as the PL properties deteriorated with an increase in the carrier leakage. The results imply that the PL properties of LED chips can be an indicator of the electrical properties of LEDs.

Purpose: Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is a potent differentiating agent for cells of the osteoblastic lineage. It has been used in the oral cavity under a variety of indications and with different carriers. However, the optimal carrier for each indication is not known. This study evaluated the bone regenerative effect of rhBMP-2 delivered with different carrier systems. Materials and Methods: 8 mm critical-sized rat calvarial defects were used in 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were divided into 6 groups containing 10 animals each. Two groups were controls that had no treatment and absorbable collagen membrane only. 4 groups were experimentals that contained rhBMP-2 only and applied with absorbable collagen sponge($Collatape^{(R)}$), $MBCP^{(R)}$, Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ each. The histological and histometric parameters were used to evaluate the defects after 2- or 8-week healing period. The shape and total augmented area were stable in all groups over the healing time. Results: New bone formation was significantly greater in the rhBMP-2 with carrier group than control group. rhBMP-2/ACS was the highest in bone density but gained less new bone area than rhBMP-2/$MBCP^{(R)}$ and rhBMP-2/Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$. The bone density after 8 weeks was greater than that after 2 weeks in all groups. However, rhBMP-2 alone failed to show the statistically significant difference in new bone area and bone density compared to control group. Also $MBCP^{(R)}$ and Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ particles remained after 8 weeks healing period. Conclusion: These results suggest that rhBMP-2 with carrier system is an excellent inductive agent for bone formation and we can use it as the predictable bone tissue engieering technique. Future study will likely focus on the kinetics of BMP release and development of carriers that is ideal for it.

초크랄스키 실리콘 기판의 뒷면에 형성된 기계적 손상이 미치는 효과에 대하여 고찰하였다. 기계적 손상의 정도는 레이저 여기/극초단파 반사 광전도 감쇠법에 의한 소수반송자 재결합 수명, 습식산화/선택적 식각 방법, 표면 부위 미소 결함 및 X-선 단면 측정 분석으로 평가하였다. 그 결과, 웨이퍼 뒷면에 가해지는 기계적 손상의 세기가 강할수 록 소수반송자 재결합 수명은 짧아지고, 표면 부위 미소 결함 밀도는 비례적으로 증가하였으며, 산화 유기 적충 결함 밀 도와도 상호 일치하였다. 그래서, 표면 부위 미소 결함 기술은 산화 유기 적층 결함을 측정하는데 있어서 통상적인 부식 방법과는 별도로 사용될 수 있다.

The thermostimulated discharge currents of low-density polyethylene electrets were measured versus the principal experimental variables. Several electrode types were used for the charging and discharging procedures. The results led to know the experimental conditions for the heterocharge and homocharge accumulating and decreasing. The electronic structure parameters of polyethylene such as trap level, density of traps, hopping length, mobility, trap time constants were deduced. A method for evaluating the local electric field inside the electret is proposed.

The analysis of hole injection efficiency at the p+/n-drift layer junction in non-punchthrough IGBT structure is presented. This analysis takes into account carrier concentration variations by conductivity modulation. Good agreement between this analysis and simulation is found over a wide range of carrier lifetime and current density. The proposed analytical model of the hole injection efficiency as a function of collector width, collector concentration has been verified by device simulator, ATLAS.
