Cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin film for flexible optical device applications were prepared at $H_2/(Ar+H_2)$ flow ratios on polyethersulfon (PES) flexible polymer substrates at room temperature by radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique. The CdS thin films deposited at room temperature showed a (002) preferred orientation and the smooth surface morphologies. Films deposited at a hydrogen flow ratio of 25% exhibited a photo- and dark-sheet resistance of about 50 and $2.7\;{\times}\;10^5\;{\Omega}/square$, respectively. From the result of the bending test, CdS films exhibit a strong adhesion with the PES polymer substrates and the $Al_2O_3$ passivation layer deposited on the CdS films only shows an increase of the resistance of 8.4% after exposure for 120 h in air atmosphere.

We fabricated a photoconductive cell made of polycrystalline CdS thick film which has high photo-sensitivity using a print/sintering method. The resultant grain size is about $4\;{\mu}m$. When $CuCl_2$ of 0.06 to 0.12 mg is added, the sensitivity and the ratio of photocurrent to dark current are 0.8 and $10^5$, respectively. The response wavelength is 511 nm. The rise and decay response times are 50 and 20 ms, respectively. In addition, the maximum power dissipation is beyond 80mW. We noticed that the addition of $CuCl_2$ between 0.06 and 0.12 mg to 1g of CdS results in a reliable formation of photoconductive sensor.

CdS thin films for window material of solar cell were prepared by close spaced vapor transport deposition system and annealed at different temperatures. The structural, electrical, and optical properties of as-deposited and annealed CdS films were investigated as functions of substrate and annealing temperatures. The CdS thin films were grown perpendicularly to the substrate along the (002)plane with hexagonal structure regardless of the preparation conditions The resistivity of the CdS film deposited was increased gradually from $60{\Omega}cm$ for $25^{\circ}C$ to $2{\times}10^{4}{\Omega}cm$ for $300^{\circ}C$. The optical transmittance at the substrate temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ was about 80% in the the visible spectrum. The resistivity increased monotonically, and the optical transmittance was decreased substantially with annealing temperature due to the increased defect density in the CdS film.

We developed SAW gas sensor for monitoring SOx gas with high sensitivity. It was fabricated as a microsensor for detecting SOx gas by depositing sensing material on SAW device. As a detecting layer material, CdS was selected. Deposition of CdS in the form of thin films was carried out by the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method using ultrasonic spray nozzle. Thin films with the uniform and large surface area for sensors were deposited. The stable pyrolysis environment provided by uniform and fine droplets formed by spray nozzle made it possible to obtain thin films with excellent quality. The minimum grain size of the CdS thin films was about 50 nm when deposited at $300^{\circ}C$. SAW gas sensors showed reasonable sensitivity and reproducibility. Further studies are required to investigate the interference of other gases to SOx gas detection.

This paper proposes a comparator structure that improves the noise and output delay of a single-slope ADC(SS-ADC) used in CMOS Image Sensor (CIS). To improve the noise and delay characteristics of the output, a comparator structure using the miller effect is designed by inserting a capacitor between the output node of the first stage and the output node of the second stage of the comparator. The proposed comparator structure improves the noise, delay of the output, and layout area by using a small capacitor. The CDS counter used in the single slop ADC is designed using a T-filp flop and bitwise inversion circuit, which improves power consumption and speed. The single-slope ADC also performs dual CDS, which combines analog correlated double sampling (CDS) and digital CDS. By performing dual CDS, image quality is improved by reducing fixed pattern noise (FPN), reset noise, and ADC error. The single-slope ADC with the proposed comparator structure is designed in a 0.18-㎛ CMOS process.

We report the crystal growth and the electro-optic characteristics of $CdS_{1-x}Se_{x}$ thin films. $CdS_{1-x}Se_{x}$ thin films wire deposited on the alumina plate by electron beam evaporation technique in pressure of $1.5{\times}10^{-7}$ torr, voltage of 4kV, current of 2.5mA and substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$. The deposited $CdS_{1-x}Se_{x}$ thin films were proved to be a polycrystal with hexagonal structure through X-ray diffraction patterns. $CdS_{1-x}Se_{x}$ photoconductive films showed high photoconductivity after annealing at $550^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. And the films have been investigated the Hall effect, photocurrent spectra, sensitivity, maximum allowable power dissipation and response time.

In this study, the liquid-crystal optical modulation X-ray detection system using a CdS which is a family of II-IV compound semiconductor was proposed. The system consist of the detector, the signal processing part, the liquid-crystal driving parts, microcontroller, and I/O parts, and was designed to be suitable for miniaturization and portable. In addition, the system can measure a wide range X-ray by using the detecting range selection. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, the CdS sensor's output characteristics were confirmed in accordance with changes of dose, and excellent correlation was determined. And also, the optical penetration ratio was discussed in accordance with changes of the applied voltage by measuring the change of the liquid-crystal in accordance with changes of the applied voltage. Through these results, the characteristics of the liquid-crystal optical modulation system such as the excellent reproducibility and the noise immunity were confirmed. And we considered that the CdS cell-based liquid-crystal optical modulated portable X-ray detection system could be applied to compact, low-cost, portable system.

Compared with organic fluorophores, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have the better properties such as photostability, narrow emission spectra coupled to tunable photoluminescent emissions and exceptional resistance to both photo bleaching and chemical degradation. In this work, CdSe/ZnS QDs nanobeads were prepared by the incorporation of CdSe/ZnS QDs with mesoporous silica to use as the optical probe for detecting toxic and bio- materials with high sensitivity, CdSe/ZnS core/shell QDs were synthesized from the precursors such as CdO and zinc stearate with the lower toxicity than pyrotic precursors. The QD-nanobeads were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, FL microscopy, UV-Vis and PL spectroscopy, respectively.

CdS and Se thin films were deposited on slide glass by EBE method respectively and surface morphology, crystal structure, electrical and optical properties were investigated by substrate temperature and annealing. The deposited CdS film was well fabricated with cubic structure at substrate temperature of $150^{\circ}C$. Se film was deposited with noncrystal structure until substrate temperature of $100^{\circ}C$, but Se film was grown with monoclinic structure at substrate temperature of $150^{\circ}C$. And so, after annealing at $150^{\circ}C$ for 15min, noncrystalline Se was proved to be hexagonal structure. Finally, the maximum output of Se/CdS heterojunction at 5000 lux was 4 $mW/cm^{2}$ and maximum spectral sensitivity was represented at 585nm.

80년대 초에 개발된 CD(Compact Disc) Disc는 지난 27여 년간 급속한 발전을 하였다. 95년에 DVD가 발표되면서 영화 Title제작이 되어 우리는 안방에서 고화질의 DVD를 감상할 수 있었다. CD-R(Recordable) 로부터 시작된 기록 기술은 CD-RW를 거쳐 DVD-Recordable, DVD-ReWritable 및 DVD-RAM, Light Scribe등 거쳐 BD(Blu-Ray) 기술에 까지 이르게 되었다. 광 Disc 기술은 3가지 분야로 나눌 수 있다. 안정된 제어를 위한 Servo 기술, Mechanical 기술, PC와communication 할 수 있는 Interface 기술 등으로 나눌 수 있다. Servo 제어 기술은 다음과 같이 4가지 분야로 구성되어 있다. Focus Servo, Tracking Servo, Sled Servo, Spindle Servo. Disc 회전을 제어를 담당하고 있는 Spindle Servo Block에서는 Hall Sensor를 이용하여 Disc의 회전을 Count하여 Feedback 하였다. 그러나 갈수록 심화 되고 있는 가격 경쟁 상황에서 Hall Sensor를 대체하여 회전수를 Conut하는 방법이 필요 하였다. BEMF(역기전력)을 이용한 Zero Crossing 방법이 이를 대체 하였지만, Motor의 전기적인 특성 편차 등에 안정된 control이 안되어서, Motor를 관리하는 방법으로 진행되어 왔다. 이것은 생산 Loss로 이어져서 Hall Sensorless의 장점을 훼손하게 되었다..본 논문에서는 이러한 Sensorless Type Spindle Motor의 문제점에 대해 Common 단자를 이용하여 안정된 제어 방법을 제안 한다. less Type의 문제점인 초기 기동 문제를 Common 단자를 이용하여 안정되게 Spindle motor를 Control 하는 방법에 대해 연구 하고자 한다.
