Employing statistical design of experiments, we have performed studies on the characterization of electrodes using $TiO_2$ and process variables in the fabrication process of nanocrystalline dye sensitized solar cell. Systematic experiment to identify the effects of process variables on cell's efficiency has based on broad-band absorption of light by tailor made organometallic dye molecules dispersed on a high surface of $TiO_2$. Employing statistical design of experiment on $TiO_2$ photoelectrode forming process, structural characterization of electrodes and process variable have been investigated. Through the statistical analysis we have found that the particle size of $TiO_2$ and the amount of PEG/PEO are significantly affecting on the cell efficiency. In addition, a significant amount of interaction exists between the particle size and the amount of PEG/PEO.

Interconnect characterization on a wafer level was performed. Test patterns for single, two-coupled, and triple-coupled lines ere designed by using 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS process. Then interconnect capacitances and resistances were experimentally extracted by using tow port network measurements, Particularly to eliminate parasitic effects, the Y-parameter de-embedding was performed with specially designed de-embedding patterns. Also, for the purpose of comparisons, capacitance matrices were calculated by using the existing CAD model and field-solver-based commercial simulator, METAL and MEDICI. This work experimentally verifies that existing CAD models or parameter extraction may have large deviation from real values. The signal transient simulation with the experimental data and other methodologies such as field-solver-based simulation and existing model was performed. as expected, the significantly affect on the signal delay and crosstalk. The signal delay due to interconnects dominates the sub-micron-based a gate delay (e.g., inverter). Particularly, coupling capacitance deviation is so large (about more than 45% in the worst case) that signal integrity cannot e guaranteed with the existing methodologies. The characterization methodologies of this paper can be very usefully employed for the signal integrity verification or he electrical design rule establishments of IC interconnects in the industry.

모바일 폰에서 사용되고 있는 카메라와 LCD 디스플레이의 정확한 색 재현을 위한 특성화 과정은 많이 알려져 있다. 카메라의 입력 신호인 CIEXYZ 색 자극 값을 LCD의 출력 신호인 CIEXYZ 값으로 정확하게 사상하기 위해서는 카메라와 LCD 특성화, 그리고 색역 사상 과정이 필요하다. 각 장치의 특성화는 입력 신호와 출력 신호 사이의 관계를 추정하는 과정이다. LCD의 경우 출력장치이기 때문에 임의의 입력에 대해 출력 색 자극 값을 측색기를 통해 측정이 가능하나 카메라와 같은 입력 장치인 경우 입력 신호를 생성할 수 없기 때문에 특성화 과정이 부정확하고 출력 신호의 획득과정에서 많은 수작업이 필요로 한다. 더욱이 노이즈에 민감한 카메라의 특성 때문에 색역 사상 후 카메라 모듈 생산 초기에 노이즈에 최적화된 감마 톤 커브가 왜곡이 되어 결과적으로 노이즈가 증가하게 된다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 카메라의 출력 신호 획득 시스템과 노이즈 제거를 위한 부분적인 감마 보정 방법을 제안한다. 카메라의 출력 신호는 입력신호 사용되는 칼라 차트를 촬영하여 이미지에서의 패치 값을 읽어 획득한다. 그러나 촬영과정에서의 조명의 영향뿐만 아니라 다수의 카메라모듈에 대해 촬영 시 뷰파인더에서의 차트의 위치에 대한 오차가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 수작업에서 발생하는 오차를 보정하기 위해 카메라의 위치를 조성하는 시스템을 제안한다. 카메라의 위치는 촬영된 이미지로부터 추정 할 수 있으며 카메라의 이동과 위치 추정을 반복적으로 적용하면서 최적의 위치를 찾게 되고, 각 패치의 위치를 추정하여 출력 값을 획득한다. 또한 특성화로 인해 발생하는 노이즈를 줄이기 위하여 카메라의 출력 신호의 밝기 커브를 부분적으로 감마 커브를 조정한다.

DLC thin films have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition with various deposition parameters. The characterization of fabricated thin films was performed depending on the deposition parameters. As the kinetic energies provided by deposition temperature and the laser energy density were increased, the film showed graphite properties. Structural properties of the films were investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The growth energy should be optimized to fabricate high quality DLC thin films. DLC films showed high hardness and their friction coefficient was measured to be about 0.2 regardless of the load of the ball pin.

Focused Ion Beam (FIB) systems have incorporated versatile nanomanipulators with inherent sophisticated machining capability to characterize the electrical properties of highly miniature components of electronic devices. Carbon fibers were chosen as a model system to test the applicability of nanomanipulators to microscale electronic materials, with special emphasis on the direct current current-voltage characterizations in terms of electrode configuration. The presence of contact resistance affects the electrical characterization. This resistance originates from either i) the so-called "spreading resistance" due to the geometrical constriction near the electrode - material interface or ii) resistive surface layers. An appropriate electrode strategy is proposed herein for the use of FIB-based manipulators.

Electrical insulation is one of the most important parts in a high voltage apparatus. Traditionally mineral oils and synthetic esters have been widely used as dielectric coolants for power transformers. Recently, researchers are interested in the environmental friendly vegetable oil from environmental viewpoint. This paper reports on the synthesis and characterization of soybean based ester oils. Two different types of soybean based transformer oils, named as methyl ester and isopropyl ester were synthesized. The synthesis of these esters was achieved by transesterification reactions of soybean oil and alcohol in the presence of catalyst. The GC and NMR spectroscopic analysis of the esters have been performed. The thermal stability of the esters was determined by thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA).
