In this study, cell cracker method as a non-collision method was evaluated for the possibility of new red ginseng grinding technique. The moisture contents were 3.16% for the powder pulverized by hammer mill (group A) and 6.30% for the powder produced by cell cracker (group B), and the difference between both groups was significant, The contents of other component such as ash, crude lipid, reducing sugar, total sugar, acidic polysaccharide, crude fiber and crude protein between both groups were not significant. There were no significant differences in phenolic compound, fatty acid, amino acid, free sugar, crude saponin and ginsenosid contents between both groups. And also the contents of mineral components were evaluated to determine the incorporation of red ginseng powder during grinding, and also the differences of those between both groups were not significant.

Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2 $ (CIGS) 박막 태양전지는 높은 효율과 낮은 생산 단가로 인해 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 특히, Se flux는 박막의 특성에 가장 중요한 CIGS의 결정성, 결정립 크기, 결정방향을 형성하는데 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있다. 일반적인 co-evaporation에 사용되는 Se effusion cell의 경우, 높은 분자가를 가지는 Se 분자들이 공급되기 때문에 낮은 반응성을 보이지만 Se cracker cell을 사용할 경우 Se 분자들이 열적으로 크래킹되어 낮은 분자가를 가지므로 화학적으로 높은 반응성을 가진다. 따라서 적은 양의 Se으로도 양질의 CIGS 박막 제작이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 Se effusion cell과 cracker cell을 이용하여 CIGS 광흡수층을 제작하였으며, 각각 제작된 CIGS 박막의 특성을 비교하였다. 또한 Se cracker cell의 reservoir zone(R-zone) 온도를 통해 Se flux를 변화시켜 Se flux에 따른 CIGS 박막 태양전지의 특성에 대해 알아보았다. SEM, EDS, XRD 측정을 통해 박막의 특성을 분석하였고, J-V 측정을 통해 태양전지의 특성에 대해 알아보았다. Se cracker를 사용하여 제작된 CIGS 박막의 결정립 크기가 effusion cell로 제작된 박막보다 더 크게 나타났고, Se flux가 증가할수록 결정립의 크기는 증가하였다. Se cracker의 flux가 $0.17{\'{{\AA}}}$/s일 때 반사방지막 없이 13.14%의 효율을 나타내었다.

셀레늄(Selenium: Se) cracker cell을 이용하여 셀렌화한 $CuInSe_2$ (CIS)박막에 대해 연구한 결과를 발표하고자 한다. 화석연료의 과도한 사용으로 지구온난화라는 환경문제가 대두되면서 영구적이고 무상의 태양에너지 이용에 대한 필요성이 점차 높아지고 있다. 빛에너지를 전기에너지로 변화시키기 위한 태양전지는 재료에 따라 다양하게 개발되고 있으며 그 중 가장 주목을 받고 있는 것 중의 하나가 $CuInSe_2$을 광흡수층으로 하는 CIS 박막 태양전지이다. CIS 박막은 태양전지의 광흡수층으로 사용되는데 직접천이형 밴드구조를 가지고 있고, 약 $10^5$ $cm^{-1}$의 높은 광흡수계수를 가지고 있어 태양전지 광흡수층으로 적합한 물질로 각광받고 있다. CIS는 에너지 밴드갭이 ~1 eV로 실리콘과 유사한 밴드갭을 가지고 있으나 이는 Ga, Al을 In 대신 치환함으로 조절할 할 수 있다. 무엇보다도 sodalime 유리와 같은 저가의 기판위에 스퍼터와 같은 장치로 대면적 CIS 박막태양전지를 만들 수 있다는 것이 산업적인 면에서 장점으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 sodalime 유리기판 위에 스퍼터 방법으로 CIS 박막을 증착하고 Se cracker cell로 셀렌화하여 CIS 박막을 제조하는 것을 조사연구 하였다. 스퍼터를 이용하여 유리기판위에 Mo (Molybdenum)을 증착하고 그 위에 Cu-In-Se박막을 증착하였다. Cu-In-Se/Mo/유리기판 시료는 동일 챔버에서 Se cracker cell을 이용하여 셀렌화 처리 하였다. 물성비교를 위하여 Knudson-cell을 이용한 셀렌화도 시행하였다. Se cracker cell은 고체 Se를 가열하는 부분(R-zone)과 Se flux를 cracking 하는 부분(C-zone)으로 나누어져 있으며 C-zone은 700$^{\circ}C$로 고정하였다. 셀렌화 기판 온도는 425$^{\circ}C$로 고정하였고 Se cracker 온도는 330~375$^{\circ}C$까지 변화시켜 가며 CIS 박막을 제조하였다. 제조된 CIS 박막의 물성 조사는 사진, 현미경, SEM, EDX, XRD, Hall effects를 이용하였다. Se cracker cell로 셀렌화한 CIS 박막은 island 구조를 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. CIS 박막의 island의 크기와 모양은 셀렌화시 R-zone 온도(Cu-In-Se 박막에 조사되는 셀레늄의 량)에 큰 영향을 받았다. 셀렌화시 셀레늄량이 적을 때는 island가 커지며 불균일해지고 셀레늄량이 많을 때 island가 작고 균일해지는 경향을 SEM을 통해 관찰할 수 있었다. X-ray 회절을 통해 셀레늄량이 적을 경우 CIS 결정이외의 결정이 박막내에 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. 학술회의에서 Se cracker cell을 이용한 셀렌화에 관한 보다 깊은 연구결과를 발표하고자 한다.

Cell cracking method using a non-collision was evaluated for the possibility of new red ginseng grinding technique. Based on particle size distribution analysis by 1size shaker, the ratios of 100 mesh penetrated particles were 94.9% for hammer mill (group A) and 95.6% for cell crack (group B). The ratio of 120 mesh penetrated particle of group A was higher than that in group B. The particle size distributions for 100 mesh non-penetrated Powder between 2 groups were not significantly different, and particle size distribution analysis by laser scattering analyzer showed that the particle size ranges were 0.77~128.07 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for group A and 4.24~180.07 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for group B. The Particle size distribution in group A was more broad than that in group B. The mean particle size in group B was larger than that in group A, while the standard deviation of particle size distribution in group B was less than that in group A. Structural surface characteristics, in group A, particle size distribution was broad and the distribution curve was amorphous. The structure of individual particles was similar to unequal stone which was roughly grinded and had soft cotton-like surface. In the contrary, in group B, particle size distribution was relatively narrow and also individual size particles were ubiquitously distributed. The structure of individual particles was unequal cut stone shape.

The CIGS absorber has outstanding advantages in the absorption coefficient and conversation efficiency. The CIGS thin film solar cells have been researched for commercialization and increasing the conversion efficiency. CIG precursors were deposited on the Mo coated glass substrate by magnetron sputtering with multilayer structure, which is CuIn/CuGa/CuIn/CuGa. Then, the metallic precursors were selenized under high Se pressure by RTP method which included. Se vapor was supplied using Se cracker cell instead of toxic hydrogen selenide gas. Se beam flux was controlled by variable reservoir zone (R-zone) temperature during selenization process. Cracked Se source reacted with CIG precursors in a small quantity of Se because of small size molecules with high activation energy. The CIGS thin films were studied by FESEM, EDX, and XRD. The CIGS solar cell was also developed by layering of CdS and ZnO layers. And the conversion efficiency of the CIGS solar cell was characterization. It was reached at 6.99% without AR layer.

Effect of concentrations of wheat flour and glucose on the sponge fermentation of soda cracker by the mixed lactic acid bacteria of L. brevis, L. fermentum and L. plantarum was investigated. When glucose was added to the wheat flour solution, pH was higher and TTA (total titrable acid) was lower as compared with the medium without glucose. This results suggested that glucose in the solution stimulate cell growth but inhibit the production of organic acids. With increasing of wheat flour concentration, pH decreased and TTA increased during the sponge fermentation of soda cracker.

We analyzed the interface characteristics of Zn-based thin-film buffer layers formed by a sulfur thermal cracker on a $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) light-absorber layer. The analyzed Zn-based thin-film buffer layers are processed by a proposed method comprising two processes - Zn-sputtering and cracker-sulfurization. The processed buffer layers are then suitable to be used in the fabrication of highly efficient CIGS solar cells. Among the various Zn-based film thicknesses, an 8 nm-thick Zn-based film shows the highest power conversion efficiency for a solar cell. The band alignment of the buffer/CIGS was investigated by measuring the band-gap energies and valence band levels across the depth direction. The conduction band difference between the near surface and interface in the buffer layer enables an efficient electron transport across the junction. We found the origin of the energy band structure by observing the chemical states. The fabricated buffer/CIGS layers have a structurally and chemically distinct interface with little elemental inter-diffusion.

In this study, $Cu(In_{1-x},Ga_x)Se_2$ (CIGS) thin films were prepared on the Mo coated soda-lime glass by the DC magnetron sputtering and a subsequent selenization process. For the selenization process, selenization rapid thermal process(RTP) with cracker cell, which was helpful to smaller an atomic of Se, was adopted. To make CIGS layer, they were then annealed with the cracked Se. Based on this selenization method, we made several CIGS thin film and investigated the effects of In deposition time, and selenization time. Through x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), it is found that the Mo/In/CuGa structure and the high sputtering power shows the dominant chalcopyrite structure and have a uniform distribution of the grain size. The CIGS films with the In deposition time of 5 min has the best structure due to the smooth surface. And CIGS films with the selenization time of 50 min show good crystalline growth without any voids.
