The study on magnetic field combined radiation therapy, as a new technique to modify the dose distributions using external magnetic field, has been investigated. The goal of the study is to develop the techniques for dose localization, as a particle beam, from the strong magnetic fields. In this study, in order to study the principle of dose deposition in external fields, as a basic approach, we have calculated approximately the paths of traveling electrons in water under external magnetic fields with numerical methods. The calculations are performed for a primary particle by cumulating the steps which are defined as small path lengths which energy loss can be ignored. In this calculation, the energy loss and direction change for a step was calculated by using total stopping power and Lorentz force equation respectively. We have examined the deflected paths of the electron through water as a function of external magnetic field and incident electron s energy. Since we did not take account of the multiple scattering effects for electrons through water, there are errors in this calculation. However, from the results we can explain the principle of dose variation and dose focusing for electron beams under strong magnetic fields in water.

Due to their novel properties, GaN based semiconductors and their nanostructures are promising components in a wide range of nanoscale device applications. In this work, the gallium nitride is deposited on c-axis oriented sapphire and porous SWCNT substrates by molecular beam epitaxy using a novel single source precursor of $Me_2Ga(N_3)NH_2C(CH_3)_3$ with ammonia as an additional source of nitrogen. The advantage of using a single molecular precursor is possible deposition at low substrate temperature with good crystal quality. The deposition is carried out in a substrate temperature range of 600-750$^{\circ}C$. The microstructural, structural, and optical properties of the samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence. The results show that substrate oriented columnar-like morphology is obtained on the sapphire substrate while sword-like GaN nanorods are obtained on porous SWCNT substrates with rough facets. The crystallinity and surface morphology of the deposited GaN were influenced significantly by deposition temperature and the nature of the substrate used. The growth mechanism of GaN on sapphire as well as porous SWCNT substrates is discussed briefly.

Heteroepitaxial growth remains as one of the continuously growing interests, because the heterogeneous crystallization on different substrates is a common feature in the fabrication processes of many semiconductor materials and devices, such as molecular beam epitaxy, pulsed laser deposition, sputtering, chemical bath deposition, chemical vapor deposition, hydrothermal synthesis, vapor phase transport and so on [1,2]. By using the R.F. sputtering system, ZnO thin films were deposited on graphene 4 and 6 mono layers, which is grown on 400 nm and 600 nm $SiO_2$ substrates, respectively. The ZnO thin layer was deposited at various temperatures by using a ZnO target. In this experimental, the working power and pressure were $3{\times}10^{-3}$ Torr and 50 W, respectively. The base pressure of the chamber was kept at a pressure around $10^{-6}$ Torr by using a turbo molecular pump. The oxygen and argon gas flows were controlled around 5 and 10 sccm by using a mass flow controller system, respectively. The structural properties of the samples were analyzed by XRD measurement. The film surface and carrier concentration were analyzed by an atomic force microscope and Hall measurement system. The surface morphologies were observed using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM).

The dental implant materials required good mechanical properties, such as fatigue strength, combined with a high resistance to corrosion. For increasing fatigue resistance and delaying onset of stress corrosion cracking, shot peening has been used for > 50 years to extend service life of metal components. However, there is no information on the electrochemical behavior of shot peened and hydroxyapatite(HA) coated Ti-6Al-4V alloys. To increase fatigue strength, good corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, the electrochemical characteristics of Ti/TiN/HA coated and shot peened Ti-6Al-4V alloys by electron beam physical vapor deposition(EB-PVD) have been researched by various electrochemical method in 0.9%NaCl. Ti-6Al-4V alloys were prepared under the condition of hydrogen and vacuum arc furnace. The produced materials were quenched at 1000$^{\circ}C$ under high purity dried Ar atmosphere and were hold at 500$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs to achieve the fatigue strength(1140㎫) of materials. Ti-6Al-4V alloys were prepared under the condition of hydrogen and vacuum arc furnace. Shot peening(SP) and sand blasting treatment was carried out for 1, 5, and 10min. On the surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloys using the steel balls of 0.5mm and alumina sand of 40$\mu\textrm{m}$ size. Ti/TiN/HA multilayer coatings were carried out by using electron-beam deposition method(EB-PVD) as shown Fig. 1. Bulk Ti, powder TiN and hydroxyapatite were used as the source of the deposition materials. Electrons were accelerated by high voltage of 4.2kV with 80 - 120mA on the deposition materials at 350$^{\circ}C$ in 2.0 X 10-6 torr vacuum. Ti/TiN/HA multilayer coated surfaces and layers were investigated by SEM and XRD. A saturated calomel electrode as a reference electrode, and high density carbon electrode as a counter electrode, were set according to ASTM GS-87. The potentials were controlled at a scan rate of 100 mV/min. by a potentiostat (EG&G Co.273A) connected to a computer system. Electrochemical tests were used to investigate the electrochemical characteristics of Ti/TiN/HA coated and shot peened materials in 0.9% NaCl solution at 36.5$^{\circ}C$. After each electrochemical measurement, the corrosion surface of each sample was investigated by SEM.

ZnO thin films prepared by PLD method exhibit an excellent optical property, but may have some problems such as incomplete surface roughness and crystallinity. In this study, undoped ZnO buffer layers were deposited on (0001) sapphire substrates by ultra high vacuum pulse laser deposition (UHV-PLD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) methods, respectively. After post annealing of ZnO buffer layer, undoped ZnO thin films were deposited under different oxygen pressure ($35{\sim}350$ mtorr) conditions. The Arsenic-doped (1, 3 wt%) ZnO thin layers were deposited on the buffer layer of undoped ZnO by UHV-PLD method. The optical property of the ZnO thin films was analyzed by photoluminescence (PL) measurement. The ${\theta}-2{\theta}$ XRD analysis exhibited a strong (002)-peak, which indicates c-axis preferred orientation. Field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) revealed that microstructures of the ZnO thin films were varied by oxygen partial pressure, Arsenic doping concentration, and deposition method of the undoped ZnO buffer layer. The denser and smoother films were obtained when employing MBE-buffer layer under lower oxygen partial pressure. It was also found that higher Arsenic concentration gave the enhanced growing of columnar structure of the ZnO thin films.

LED제작을 위해서는 n형의 ZnO와 p형의 ZnO가 필요하지만 기본적으로 ZnO은 n형이므로 신뢰성 있는 p형 ZnO박막을 제작하기 위한 노력이 기울여지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition)로 제작된 ZnO박막에 20 keV의 에너지를 갖는 질소이온을 $10^{13}{\sim}10^{15}ions/cm^2$로 조사한 후 Hall 효과 측정장치를 이용하여 질소이온 조사에 따른 전기적 특성변화를 조사하였다.

New photovoltaic (PV) materials and manufacturing approaches are needed for meeting the demand for lower-cost solar cells. The prototypal thin-film photovoltaic absorbers (CdTe and $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$) can achieve solar conversion efficiencies of up to 20% and are now commercially available, but the presence of toxic (Cd,Se) and expensive elemental components (In, Te) is a real issue as the demand for photovoltaics rapidly increases. To overcome these limitations, there has been substantial interest in developing viable alternative materials, such as $Cu_2ZnSnS_4$ (CZTS) is an emerging solar absorber that is structurally similar to CIGS, but contains only earth abundant, non-toxic elements and has a near optimal direct band gap energy of 1.4~1.6 ev and a large absorption coefficient of ${\sim}10^4\;cm^{-1}$. The CZTS absorber layers are grown and investigated by various fabrication methods, such as thermal evaporation, e-beam evaporation with a post sulfurization, sputtering, non-vacuum sol-gel, pulsed laser, spray-pyrolysis method and electrodeposition technique. In the present work, we report an alternative method for large area deposition of CZTS thin films that is potentially high throughput and inexpensive when used to produce monolithically integrated solar panel modules. Specifically, we have developed an aqueous chemical approach based on chemical bath deposition (CBD) with a subsequent sulfurization heat treatment. Samples produced by our method were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, absorbance and photoluminescence. The results show that this inexpensive and relatively benign process produces thin films of CZTS exhibiting uniform composition, kesterite crystal structure, and good optical properties. A preliminary solar cell device was fabricated to demonstrate rectifying and photovoltaic behavior.

주사전자현미경(Scanning Electron Microscopy: SEM)은 고체상태에서 미세조직과 형상을 관찰하는 데에 가장 다양하게 쓰이는 분석기기로서 최근에 판매되고 있는 고분해능 SEM은 수 나노미터의 분해능을 가지고 있다. 그리고 SEM의 초점심도가 크기 때문에 3차원적인 영상의 관찰이 용이해서 곡면 혹은 울퉁불퉁한 표면의 영상을 육안으로 관찰하는 것처럼 보여준다. 활용도도 매우 다양해서 금속파면, 광물과 화석, 반도체 소자와 회로망의 품질검사, 고분자 및 유기물, 생체시료 nnnnnnnnn와 유가공 제품 등 모든 산업영역에 걸쳐 있다(Fig. 1). 입사된 전자빔이 시료의 원자와 탄성, 비탄성 충돌을 할 때 2차 전자(secondary electron)외에 후방산란전자(back scattered electron), X선, 음극형광 등이 발생하게 되는 이것을 통하여 topography (시료의 표면 형상), morphology(시료의 구성입자의 형상), composition(시료의 구성원소), crystallography (시료의 원자배열상태)등의 정보를 얻을 수 있다. SEM은 2차 전자를 이용하여 시료의 표면형상을 측정하고 그 외에는 SEM을 플랫폼으로 하여 EDS (Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy), WDS (Wave Dispersive X-ray Spectroscope), EPMA (Electron Probe X-ray Micro Analyzer), FIB (Focus Ion Beam), EBIC (Electron Beam Induced Current), EBSD (Electron Backscatter Diffraction), PBMS (Particle Beam Mass Spectrometer) 등의 많은 분석장치들이 SEM에 부가적으로 장착되어 다양한 시료의 측정이 이루어진다. 이 중 결정구조, 조성분석을 쉽고 효과적으로 할 수 있게 하는 X선 분석장치인 EDS를 SEM에 일체화시킨 장비와 EDS 및 PBMS를 SEM에 장착하여 반도체 공정 중 발생하는 나노입자의 형상, 성분, 크기분포를 측정하는 PCDS(Particle Characteristic Diagnosis System)에 대해 소개하고자 한다. - EDS와 통합된 SEM 시스템 기본적으로 SEM과 EDS는 상호보완적인 기능을 통하여 매우 밀접하게 사용되고 있으나 제조사와 기술적 근간의 차이로 인해 전혀 다른 방식으로 운영되고 있다. 일반적으로 SEM과 EDS는 별개의 시스템으로 스캔회로와 이미지 프로세싱 회로가 개별적으로 구현되어 있지만 로렌츠힘에 의해 발생하는 전자빔의 왜곡을 보정을 위해 EDS 시스템은 SEM 시스템과 연동되어 운영될 수 밖에 없다. 따라서, 각각의 시스템에서는 필요하지만 전체 시스템에서 보면 중복된 기능을 가지는 전자회로들이 존재하게 되고 이로 인해 SEM과 EDS에서 보는 시료의 이미지의 차이로 인한 측정오차가 발생한다(Fig. 2). EDS와 통합된 SEM 시스템은 중복된 기능인 스캔을 담당하는 scanning generation circuit과 이미지 프로세싱을 담당하는 FPGA circuit 및 응용프로그램을 SEM의 회로와 프로그램을 사용하게 함으로 SEM과 EDS가 보는 시료의 이미지가 정확히 일치함으로 이미지 캘리브레이션이 필요없고 측정오차가 제거된 EDS 측정이 가능하다. - PCDS 공정 중 발생하는 입자는 반도체 생산 수율에 가장 큰 영향을 끼치는 원인으로 파악되고 있으며, 생산수율을 저하시키는 원인 중 70% 가량이 이와 관련된 것으로 알려져 있다. 현재 반도체 공정 중이나 반도체 공정 장비에서 발생하는 입자는 제어가 되고 있지 않은 실정이며 대부분의 반도체 공정은 저압환경에서 이루어지기에 이 때 발생하는 입자를 제어하기 위해서는 저압환경에서 측정할 수 있는 측정시스템이 필요하다. 최근 국내에서는 CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) 시스템 내 파이프내벽에서의 오염입자 침착은 심각한 문제점으로 인식되고 있다(Fig. 3). PCDS (Particle Characteristic Diagnosis System)는 오염입자의 형상을 측정할 수 있는 SEM, 오염입자의 성분을 측정할 수 있는 EDS, 저압환경에서 기체에 포함된 입자를 빔 형태로 집속, 가속, 포화상태에 이르게 대전시켜 오염입자의 크기분포를 측정할 수 있는 PBMS가 일체화 되어 반도체 공정 중 발생하는 나노입자 대해 실시간으로 대처와 조치가 가능하게 한다.
