We investigated natural background and enrichment characteristics and predicted geochemical disaster for stream sediments in the Hamyang-Sancheong area. Stream sediments samples were collected 95 ea in study area. The stream sediments were well known that had not possibility of contamination effect and represented drainage basins. We got the major and hazardous elements concentrations by XRF, ICP-AES and NAA analysis methods. Acid decomposition for the ICP-AES has been used $HClO_4$ and HF with $200^{\circ}C$ heating at 1st and after that $HClO_4$ HF and HCl with $200^{\circ}C$ heating at 2nd stage. We could know the characteristics that concentration of Cu and Co decreased when concentration of $SiO_2$ increased in correlation analysis. The enrichment factor of the stream sediments was below 2 in study area. This result indicated that study area belonged to moderate enrichment. The stream sediments of Hamyang area were enriched in order of Pb>Th>Cr>V>Co>Cu and those of Sancheong area were enriched in order of Pb>Th>Cr>Co>V>Cu. The enrichment factor(E.F.) of the Pb, Cr, Co and V was similar between Hamyang and Sancheong area. The enrichment factor of the Th was higher in Hamyang area and that of the Cu was higher in Sancheong area. The enrichment factor of the Pb was highly enriched in all study area than earth crust mean. But we could know that study area was not exposed to the pollution of the Pb through the tolerable level.

Dissolution procedure of vanadium pentoxide, which is widely used as a catalyst for production of sulfuric acid or an oxide reaction of the numerous organic compounds, was investigated. Reagent of vanadium pentoxide was completely dissolved in aqua regia-$H_2O_2$-HF solution, but plate type of vanadium pentoxide sample was not clearly dissolved with mixed acids. Thus, in order to establish the dissolution procedure for plate type of vanadium pentoxide, the solubility of vanadium pentoxide was investigated through comparison of acid treatment-fusion and microwave digestion methods. The optimized acid for dissolution of vanadium compound was found to be mixing acids of aqua regia, $H_2O_2$ and HF. Acid-fusion and microwave digestion methods have a similar property in the solubility of vanadium compound, but the latter was more quick and convenient procedure. The content of vanadium pentoxide was found to be $97.9{\pm}0.9%$ using an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer after dissolution of a sample with the microwave digestion system.

Objectives : This study was designed to investigate effects of the combination with Korean Red Ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer), Gastrodia Rhizoma (Gastrodia elata Blume) and Polygoni Multiflori Radix (Polygonum multiflorum Thunberg) on metabolic disorders including cholesterol and erectile dysfunction in hyperlipidemia rats.Methods : Animals were divided into six groups; Control with normal diet, high fat/cholesterol-diet (HFCD), fluvastatin, Korean Red Ginseng treated (KRG), and the combination treated (Korean Red Ginseng, Gastrodia Rhizoma and Polygoni Multiflori Radix; 1:1:1 for KGP1 and 2:1:1 for KGP2). The experimental groups initially received HFCD for 10 weeks and then treated orally with fluvastatin, KRG, KGP1 and KGP2 during the final 6 weeks. Erectile function was determined by the measurements of intracavernosal pressure (ICP) and maximal arterial pressure (MAP) after electrical stimulation of the cavernosal nerve.Results : KGP2 decreased the level of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in the sera of HFCD rats without no changes of body weights. KRG, KGP1 and KGP2 decreased the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels except of fluvastatin, synthetic HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. KRG, KGP1 and KGP2 significantly increased the ICP, ICP/MAP ratio, area under the curve (AUC) compared with those of normal rat. Morphometric analyses showed that KRG, KGP1 and KGP2 increased the volume of smooth muscle and the regular arrangement of collagen fibers in corpus cavernosum of HFCD rats. The penile expression of eNOS was increased by KRG, KGP1 and KGP2.Conclusions : Based on these results, we suggest that the combination with Korean Red Ginseng, Gastrodia Rhizoma and Polygoni Multiflori may improve hyperlipidemia through regulating the lipid profiles and erectile dysfunction in rats.

ZnO는 수열합성법을 통해 저온에서 단결정으로 성장할 수 있기 때문에 광전소자 및 압전소자로 응용되고 있으나, 성장된 ZnO nanowire 내부 산소 결함 및 표면에 OH기의 흡착에 의해 소자특성 저하를 발생시킨다. 본 연구에서는 ZnO의 결함의 최소화를 위해 Glass 기판에 수열합성법으로 성장된 ZnO nanowire를 ICP 플라즈마 장치를 이용하여 O2 25 sccm, Base Pressure $1.5{{\times}}10^{-3}$ Torr을 기준으로 파워와 시간에 따라 표면처리 하였다. 플라즈마 처리된 ZnO nanowire의 결함특성과 형상을 XPS와 FE-SEM를 통하여 분석하였으며, ZnO nanowire의 소자특성을 평가를 위해 Kapton Film/AZO/ZnO nanowire/PMMA/Au 구조의 발전기를 제작하였다. 150 W, 10 min에서 532.4 eV의 -OH결합이 최소화됨을 확인하였으며, 이를 이용하여 Flexible ZnO nanowire 발전기 제작 했을 경우 최대 Voltage 5 V, Current 156 nA 전기적 특성을 확인하였다.

The content of hazardous heavy metal of materials used in playground facility for children was investigated using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analyses, In order to examine the content of hazardous heavy metals according to the material color, four colors, i.e., green, red, yellow and blue, were categorized on the materials used. The highest lead content is observed in the yellow plastic samples. The yellow samples with relatively high lead content show that the chrome content is also high. This can explained that lead chromate, so-called chromium yellow, is normally used as a main pigment to express the yellow color. Therefore, it is concluded that hazardous heavy metal detected in the materials of playground facility for children is due to the pigments used for coloring. Based on above findings, the relationship between the color of materials used in playground facility for children and the content of hazardous heavy metal is discussed.

산소 플라즈마의 음이온 발생 특성을 정전 탐침을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 탐침에 흐르는 음 전류는 전자 전류와 음이온 전류의 합으로 구성되며 음이온 속도는 전자 속도에 비해 작아 음이온의 발생 량이 증가함에 따라 음이온 전류의 크기는 감소하게 된다. 따라서 탐침에 흐르는 양 전류와 음전류의 비 Ii*/(Ie*+I-*)는 음이온의 발생량에 따라 변화하게 된다. 또한 플라즈마 전위와 부유 전위간의 전위차와 음 이온밀도와의 관계는 다음과 같은 관계식 e(Vp-Vf)/Te={3.35 + 0.5 ln$\mu$ - ln(ni/ne)]을 갖으며 이로부터 음이온의 밀도를 측정할 수 있다. 이들 두 가지 방법을 이용하여 정전 탐침에서 얻어지는 탐침 자료로부터 직접 플라즈마에서 음이온 발생에 관한 정성적인 특성 변화를 관찰할 수 있었다. 본 실험에서는 운전 압력(0.1-600mTorr)과 입력 전력(50-500W)에 따른 DC, ICP, CCP에서 발생하는 산소 음이온 플라즈마의 발생 특성을 분석하였다. 운전 압력이 증가함에 따라 음이온의 비율이 증가하다가 감소함이 관찰되었으며 400mTorr에서 최대 30%의 음이온 발생 비율을 갖음을 알 수 있었으며 더 큰 압력 하에서는 발생률이 점차 감소함을 관찰되었다. 또한 음이온의 발생 율은 입력 전력보다 운전 압력에 민감하게 변화하였다.

In this article the effects of process parameters of inductively coupled plasma etching with $SF_6$ /$N_2$/Ar mixture gas and mask materials on the etched profile of W were investigated. While the etched profile was improved by $N_2$-addition, low working presure, and reduced $SF_6$ flow rate, the etching selectity (W against SAL resist) was decreased. Due to the difficulty of W etching with single layer resist, sputter deposited $Al_2O_3$ film was used as a hardmask. Reduction of required EB resist thickness through $Al_2O_3$ mask application could reduce proximity effect during e-beam patterning, but the etch anisotropy was degraded by decreased sidewall passiviation effect.

3차원 반도체 패키징에서 관통전극 Through Silicon Via (TSV)를 형성하기 위하여 이온과 래디컬의 활성도 조절이 가능한 pulsating inductively coupled plasma (ICP) 식각을 수행하였다. 본 식각공정에서는 펄스주파수 ($50{\sim}500Hz$)와 듀티 싸이클 ($20{\sim}99%$)을 조절하여, 플라즈마 내 이온과 래디컬들의 활성도 변화를 발생시켰다. 플라즈마 공정변수에 따라 식각형태가 달라짐을 S.E.M을 이용하여 확인했으며, 이온(SFx+, O+)과 래디컬 ($SF^*$, $F^*$, $O^*$)의 농도 및 활성도 변화를 측정하기 위하여 광학적 기술인 optical emissin spectroscopy와 전기적 특성 측정 기술인 Langmuir probe 시스템을 직접 제작 설치하여 펄스플라즈마를 진단하였다.
