We have investigated the effects of hole-injection buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes using copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), poly(vinylcarbazole)(PVK), and Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) in a device structure of $ITO/bufferr/TPD/Alq_3/Al$. Polymer PVK and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer were produced using the spin casting method where as the CuPc layer was produced using thermal evaporation. Current-voltage characteristics, luminance-voltage characteristics and efficiency of device were measured at room temperature at various a thickness of the buffer layer. We observed an improvement in the external quantum efficiency by a factor of two, four, and two and half when the CuPc, PVK, and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer were used, respectively. The enhancement of the efficiency is assumed to be attributed to the improved balance of holes and elelctrons resulting from the use of hole-injection buffer layer. The CuPc and PEDOT:PSS layer function as a hole-injection supporter and the PVK layer as a hole-blocking one.

The current multihome-aware protocols (like stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) or parallel TCP for concurrent multipath data transfer (CMT) are not designed for high-capacity and large-latency networks; they often have performance problems transferring large data files over shared long-distance wide area networks. It has been shown that SCTP-CMT is more sensitive to receive buffer (rbuf) constraints, and this rbuf-blocking problem causes considerable throughput loss when multiple paths are used simultaneously. In this research paper, we demonstrate the weakness of SCTP-CMT rbuf constraints, and we then identify that rbuf-blocking problem in SCTP multihoming is mostly due to its loss-based nature for detecting network congestion. We present a simulation-based performance comparison of FAST TCP versus SCTP in high-speed networks for solving a number of throughput issues. This work proposes an end-to-end transport layer protocol (i.e., FAST TCP multihoming as a reliable, delaybased, multihome-aware, and selective ACK-based transport protocol), which can transfer data between a multihomed source and destination hosts through multiple paths simultaneously. Through extensive ns-2 simulations, we show that FAST TCP multihoming achieves the desired goals under a variety of network conditions. The experimental results and survey presented in this research also provide an insight on design decisions for the future high-speed multihomed transport layer protocols.

The high temperature characteristics of SOI BMFET are analyzed by the numerical simulation and compared with MOS-gated SOI power devices at high temperatures. The proposed SOI BMFET combines bipolar operation in the on-state with unipolar FET operation in the off-state, so that it may be suitable for high temperature operation without any significant degradation of performance such as the leakage current and blocking capability. The simulation results show that SOI BMFET with a higher doped n-resurf layer is the most promising device far high temperature application as compared with MOS-gated SOI power devices, exhibiting the low on-state voltage drop as well as the excellent forward blocking capability at high temperature.

We designed and fabricated aluminium gallium nitride (AlGaN)/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with stable reverse blocking characteristics established by employing a selective fluoride plasma treatment on the drainside gate edge region where the electric field is concentrated. Implanted fluoride ions caused a depolarization in the AlGaN layer and introduced an extra depletion region. The overall contour of the depletion region was expanded along the drift region. The expanded depletion region distributed the field more uniformly and reduced the field intensity peak. Through this field modulation, the leakage current was reduced to 9.3 nA and the breakdown voltage ($V_{BR}$) improved from 900 V to 1,400 V.

The fabricated photovoltaic cells based on PIN heterojunctions, in this study, have a structure of ITO/poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS)/donor/donor:C60(10nm)/C60(35nm)/2, 9-dimethyl-4, 7-diphenyl-1, 10-phenanthroline(8nm)/Al(100nm). The thicknesses of an active layer(donor:C60), an electron transport layer(C60), and hole/exciton blocking layer(BCP) were fixed in the organic photovoltaic cells. We investigated the performance characteristics of the PIN organic photovoltaic cells with copper phthalocyanine(CuPc), tetracene and pentacene as a hole transport layer. Discussion on the photovoltaic cells with CuPc, tetracene and pentacene as a hole transport layer is focussed on the dependency of the power conversion efficiency on the deposition rate and thickness of hole transport layer. The device performance characteristics are elucidated from open-circuit-voltage(Voc), short-circuit-current(Jsc), fill factor(FF), and power conversion efficiency($\eta$). As the deposition rate of donor is reduced, the power conversion efficiency is enhanced by increased short-circuit-current(Jsc). The CuPc-based PIN photovoltaic cell has the limited dependency of power conversion efficiency on the thickness of hole transport layer because of relatively short exciton diffusion length. The photovoltaic cell using tetracene as a hole transport layer, which has relatively long diffusion length, has low efficiency. The maximum power conversion efficiencies of CuPc, tetracene, and pentacene-based photovoltaic cells with optimized deposition rate and thickness of hole transport layer have been achieved to 1.63%, 1.33% and 2.15%, respectively. The photovoltaic cell using pentacene as a hole transport layer showed the highest efficiency because of dramatically enhanced Jsc due to long diffusion length and strong thickness dependence.

LED는 저 전력, 긴 수명, 고 휘도, 빠른 응답, 친환경적인 특성의 여러 장점을 갖고 있기 때문에 청색과 녹색 LED는 교통신호, 옥외 디스플레이, 백색 LED는 LCD 후면광 등의 응용 제품에 사용되고 있다. 여기서 LED의 성능을 향상하기 위하여 출력전력과 소자의 신뢰성을 높이고, 동작전압을 낮추어야 LED 칩의 고효율화가 이루어져야 하는데, 이는 에피택셜층, 표면요철, 패턴이 있는 사파이어 기판, 칩 설계의 최적화, 특수 공정의 개선 등의 기술이 우수해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 측면 에칭 기술과 절연층 삽입기술을 이용하여 사파이어 에피 웨이퍼 위에 GaN-기반 백색 LED 칩을 제작하여 그 성능을 조사하였다. LED 칩의 성능을 개선하기 위한 최적화 설계와 CBL(current blocking layer) 삽입 기술의 개선된 공정을 통하여 LED 칩 성능의 향상을 확인할 수 있었으며, 출력 전력은 광 출력 7cd, 순방향 인가전압 3.2V의 값을 얻었다. 현재의 LCD 후면광원으로 사용되고 있는 LED 칩의 출력에 비하여 성능이 개선되었으며, 의료기기 및 LCD LED TV의 후면광원으로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

We have studied the characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) with the PTFE buffer layer. The OLEDs have been based on the molecular compounds, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis (3-methylphenyl)-1, 1'- biphenyl-4, 4'-diamine (TPD) as a hole transport, tris(8-hydroxyquinolinoline) aluminum (III) ($Alq_3$) as an electron transport and the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as a buffer layer. The devices of structure were fabricated ITO/PTFE/TPD(40nm)/$Alq_3$(60nm)/Al( 150nm) to see the effects of the PTFE buffer layer in organic EL devices. The thickness of the PTFE layer varied from 0.5 to 10[nm]. We were measured Current-Voltage-Luminance Characteristics and Luminance efficiency due to the variation of PTFE thickness. the PTFE layer was reported that helped to enhance the hole tunneling injection and effectively impede induim diffusion from the ITO electrode. We have obtained an improvement of luminance efficiency when the PTFE thickness is 0.5[nm] is used. The improvement of efficiency of is expected due to a function of hole-blocking of PTFE in OLEDs.

By understanding the construction process of sea dikes and the current state of the thickness and speed of fluid in the bottom layer protection work of final closure gaps, a construction method applicable for the blocking of bottom layer work will be selected. The three construction methods selected will be tested in site through various methods, and the reinforcement of bottom layer protection and impervious effect will be verified. The verification results are as follows: 1) The overall riprap layer were 0.5~1.0m thicker than planned so that the grouting depth and grout input amount increased 2) The applied construction methods permeability of riprap layers were improved from $\alpha{\times}10^{-2}cm/s$ before the construction to $\alpha{\times}10^{-4}cm/s$ after construction. 3) The results of core extraction in order to grossly verify the hardening time and durability allowed the identification of grout injection effect. The amount of filling of the injection was difficult to judge because the slime in many areas made the reading of borehole photography difficult.
