본 연구에서는 RF/DC dual 마그네트론 스퍼터 시스템을 이용하여 Glass 기판 상에 유기태양전지용 Nb-doped $TiO_2$ (NTO)/Ag/NTO 다층 투명전극을 성막하고 이 다층 투명전극을 $200^{\circ}C{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ 온도 범위에서 급속 열처리 (Rapid Thermal Annealing ; RTA)를 통하여 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 및 표면의 특성 변화를 연구하였다. Hall effect measurement, UV-Vis spectrometer, FESEM 분석을 통하여 다층투명전극의 전기적, 광학적, 표면분석을 하였고 Synchrotron 분석을 통하여 온도에 따른 구조변화를 분석하였다. 상온에서 성막된 다층투명전극은 30nm 두께의 NTO 박막 사이에 얇은 9nm의 얇은 Ag 층을 삽입한 구조로써 10ohm/square 이하의 매우 낮은 면저항과 ${\sim}10^{-5}\;ohm-cm$ 의 비저항, Anti-reflection 효과에 의해 85% 이상의 높은 광투과성을 나타내었다. RTA 온도가 증가함에 따라 전기적, 광학적 특성은 약간 향상되었고 비정질 구조를 유지함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 높은 온도범위에서는 비정질 구조에서 Anatase 상으로 결정구조가 변화함을 알 수 있었고 전기적, 광학적 특성이 감소됨을 알 수 있었다. NTO/Ag/NTO 다층 투명전극을 유기태양전의 Anode로 적용하여 특성을 비교한 결과 RTA 온도가 증가함에 따라 유기태양전지의 효율 또한 증가하였고 최적화된 온도 조건에서 2.49% 의 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 이를 통해 우수한 특성을 나타내는 NTO/Ag/NTO 다층투명전극이 기존의 디스플레이 및 태양전지 등의 투명전극 재료로 주로 사용되어 온 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) 를 대체 할 수 있는 재료로써의 가능성을 제시하였다.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of Dual Phase (DP), Transformation-Induced Plasticity (TRIP), and Quenching & Partitioning (Q&P) steels were investigated in order to define the strengthening mechanism of 0.2 C steel. An intercritical annealing between Ac1 and Ac3 was conducted to produce DP and TRIP steel, followed by quenching the DP and TRIP steel being quenched at to room temperature and by the TRIP steel being austemperingaustempered-air cooling cooled the steel toat room temperature, respectively. The Q&P steel was produced from full austenization, followed by quenching to the temperature between $M_s$ and $M_f$, and then enriching the carbon to stabilize the austenite throughout the heat treatment. For the DP and TRIP steels, as the intercritical annealing temperature increased, the tensile strength increased and the elongation decreased. The strength variation was due to the amount of hard phases, i.e., martensite and bainite, respectively in the DP and TRIP steels. It was also found that the elongation also decreased with the amount of soft ferrite in the DP and TRIP steels and with the amount of the that was retained in the austenite phasein the TRIP steel, respectively for the DP and TRIP steels. For the Q&P steel, as the partitioning time increased, the elongation and the tensile strength increased slightly. This was due to the stabilized austenite that was enriched with carbon, even when the amount of retained austenite decreased as the partitioning time increased from 30 seconds to 100 seconds.

The thermal stability of duplex high Mn-steel structure have been investigated using 15%Mn~1.0~2.4%C steels which are composed of ${\gamma}$-and ${\theta}$-phases in the range of temperature from 900 to $1100^{\circ}C$, and time from 50 to 300h. The results are as follows ; 1) The grain growth in single-phase region proceeds by grain boundary migration and the relation between mean radius $\bar{r}$ and annealing time t is described as follows ; $\bar{r}^2-{\bar{r}_0}^2=k_0{\cdot}t$ 2) The grain growth of duplex, (${\gamma}+{\theta}$), strucrure is slower than that single phase because the chemical composition of ${\gamma}$-and ${\theta}$-phases differs esch others. 3) The grain of (${\gamma}+{\theta}$) duplex structure grow slowly in a mode of Ostwald ripening. Because grain boundaries of ${\gamma}$-phase migrate under a restriction of pinning by ${\theta}$-phases. 4) In the duplex structures. the dispersed structures change to the dual-structures, as the volume fraction of the dispersed second-phase increase. Consequently, the growth-law, which is controlled by boundary-diffusion change to that of the volume diffusion-mechanism.

Duplex stainless steels have the dual microstructure of austenite and ferrite phases. This steel exhibits generally a high corrosion resistance and higher mechanical strength compared with austenitic stainless steels. The steels used in the investigation have the chemical composition of Fe-22Cr-xNi-yMn-0.2N in which the contents of Ni and Mn were varied with maintaining the equal [Ni/Cr] equivalent. The fraction of ferrite phase was increased with the increase of annealing temperature. The impact factor of Mn element on the [Ni] equivalent was amended on the basis of the results of the investigation. 4Mn-2Ni alloy showed the highest pitting corrosion resistance. The fraction ratio, grain size and misorientation angle between grains were measured, and the correlation with pitting potential was investigated.

Aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$) thin films were grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using a new Al metalorganic precursor, dimethyl aluminum sec-butoxide ($C_{12}H_{30}Al_2O_2$), and water vapor ($H_2O$) as the reactant at deposition temperatures ranging from 150 to $300^{\circ}C$. The ALD process showed typical self-limited film growth with precursor and reactant pulsing time at $250^{\circ}C$; the growth rate was 0.095 nm/cycle, with no incubation cycle. This is relatively lower and more controllable than the growth rate in the typical $ALD-Al_2O_3$ process, which uses trimethyl aluminum (TMA) and shows a growth rate of 0.11 nm/cycle. The as-deposited $ALD-Al_2O_3$ film was amorphous; X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy confirmed that its amorphous state was maintained even after annealing at $1000^{\circ}C$. The refractive index of the $ALD-Al_2O_3$ films ranged from 1.45 to 1.67; these values were dependent on the deposition temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the $ALD-Al_2O_3$ films deposited at $250^{\circ}C$ were stoichiometric, with no carbon impurity. The step coverage of the $ALD-Al_2O_3$ film was perfect, at approximately 100%, at the dual trench structure, with an aspect ratio of approximately 6.3 (top opening size of 40 nm). With capacitance-voltage measurements of the $Al/ALD-Al_2O_3/p-Si$ structure, the dielectric constant of the $ALD-Al_2O_3$ films deposited at $250^{\circ}C$ was determined to be ~8.1, with a leakage current density on the order of $10^{-8}A/cm^2$ at 1 V.

기판전면에 패턴 없이 15 nm Co/15 nm Ni/70 nm polysilicon/200 nm $SiO_2$/Si(100) 구조로 적층된 구조로부터 급속열처리기 (rapid thermal annealer : RTA)를 이용하여 40초간 700, 900, $1000^{\circ}C$의 실리사이드화 온도를 변화시키면서 CoNi 복합실리사이드를 형성하였다. 완성된 두께 100 nm 정도의 CoNi 복합실리사이드층으로 배선층을 만든다고 상정하여, 이중 집속이온빔(dual beam focused ion beam : FIB)을 써서 30 kV에서 표면전류를 $1{\sim}100$ pA 범위에서 조절하면서 나노급 선폭제작의 가능성을 확인하였다. 각 온도별 복합실리사이드에 동일한 이온빔 조건으로 $100{\mu}m$ 길이의 패턴을 만들고, 이온빔으로 양 끝단에 트렌치를 만들어 FE-SEM으로 각 조건에서의 선폭, 두께, 최종 에칭형상을 확인하였다. 기존 형상변형이 많아서 나노급 선폭 구현이 불리한 폴리사이드 공정에 비해서, 최초로 새로운 저저항 복합실리사이드에 대해서 100 nm 이하의 나노급 피치를 가진 선폭 제작이 $30kV{\sim}30pA$ 범위에서 가능하였다.

New technologies in polymer synthesis and pipe extrusion equipment have led to the commercialization of high-performance, large-diameter, thick-wall high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes. They have been used in the field of seawater transport and cooling to replace metal pipes, due to their advantages of high corrosion resistance and extensibility. Connection of HDPE pipe is important as it determines the safety of the entire piping system. Butt fusion welding is commonly used for HDPE pipe connection but may cause the formation of weak points in the welded joints, interfering the reliability of the pipeline system in the application of nuclear power plants. At present, there is a lack of research on evaluating the performance of welded joint for large-diameter thick-wall HDPE pipes made by butt fusion-welding. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of three different butt fusion-welding processes, i.e., single low pressure (SLP), single high pressure (SHP) and dual low pressure (DLP), by evaluating the performance of their welded joints, including characterizing tensile strength, extensibility, crystallinity and hardness. In specific, a thick-wall HDPE pipe with OD of 812.8 mm and wall thickness of 74 mm which is certified for nuclear safety class was used for study. Representative specimen from the outer, middle and inner part across the wall of the main pipe body and welded joints were taken for testing. Different test methods and specimens were designed to assess the feasibility of evaluating the welding performance from different welding process. The results showed that the mechanical properties of different locations of the welded joints were different, and the tensile strength and fracture energy of the middle part of the joint were lower than that of the inner and outer parts, which could be caused by the difference in the crystallinity and thickness of the melting zone influenced by welding processes, as can be seen from the analysis of DSC test and morphology observation. Hardness testing was conducted on the section of the welded joints, and it revealed that the micromechanical properties of the welded joints in the region of the heat-affected zone were enhanced significantly, which may be due to the annealing effect caused by welding process. In summary, The DLP process resulted in the best extensibility of the welded joints among three processes, suggesting that the joining pressure from welding process plays an important role in affecting the extensibility of the welded joints.

PtMn계 스핀밸브(Spin Valve, SV) 다층박막의 하부층 구조를 달리하여 제작된 시료를 열처리 후 측정한 자기저항(magnetoresistance, MR) 곡선과 자기이력 곡선(MH loop)으로부터 얻은 등방성의 자기적 특성을 조사하였다. PtMn층이 없는 스핀밸브 구조의 Glass/Ta(10 nm)/CoFe(6 nm)/Cu(2.5 nm)/CoFe(3 nm)/Ta(4 nm) 다층박막으로 측정한 MR 곡선에서 얻은 교환결합력($H_{ex}$), 보자력($H_c$), 자기저항비(MR(%))는 각각 0 Oe, 약 25 Oe, 3.3 %이었다. Glass/Ta(10 nm)/CoFe(6 nm)/Cu(2.5 nm)/CoFe(3 nm)/PtMn(6 nm)/Ta(4 nm) 다층박막으로 측정한 MR 곡선에서 반강자성체인 PtMn 박막으로 나타낸 효과로 하여금 나비 날개 형태로 얻은 $H_{ex}$, $H_c$, MR(%)는 각각 2 Oe, 316 Oe, 4.4 %이었다. 반강자성체인 PtMn층이 중간층으로 삽입된 이중 GMR-SV 다층박막으로 측정한 MR 곡선과 MH loop에서 얻은 $H_c$는 각각 37.5 Oe과 386 Oe이었으며, MR(%)는 각각 3.5 %와 6.5 %로 2개의 히스테리시스에서 사각비가 뚜렷하게 대칭적으로 나눠져 자기적 특성을 나타내었다. PtMn계 CoFe 스핀밸브 박막의 매우 작은 $H_{ex}$ 값과 미미한 형상이방성을 갖는 효과로 하여금 비등방성을 갖는 자기적 특성을 잃게 되었다. 이러한 결과는 PtMn 박막의 하부층과 상부층에 있는 SV 다층박막에서 각 강자성체의 자화 스핀배열로 일어나는 효과를 나타내었다.
