MLCC (Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitor) is the most important passive component in electronic devices such as HHP, PC and digital display. The development trend of MLCC is a miniaturization with increasing the capacitance. In this paper, a development history of the high capacitance MLCC in Korea was introduced, and the necessity of the finer $BaTiO_3$ was explained in the viewpoint of the issued electrical and dielectric properties of high capacitance MLCC. The bottleneck technologies to realize the high capacitance was shortly introduced, followed by the prediction of the development trend of MLCC in near future.

With increasing interest in flexible electronic devices and wearable appliances, flexible lithium ion batteries are the most attractive candidates for flexible energy sources. During the last decade, many different kinds of flexible batteries have been reported. Although research of flexible lithium ion batteries is in its earlier stages, we have found that developing components that satisfy performance conditions under external deformation stress is a critical key to the success of flexible energy sources. Among the major components of the lithium ion battery, electrodes, which are connected to the current collectors, are gaining the most attention owing to their rigid and brittle character. In this mini review, we discuss candidate materials for current collectors and the previous strategies implemented for flexible electrode fabrication.

The AC power lines and signal lines of info-communication networks are routed on overhead poles and are highly exposed to lightning strikes. Due to the potential difference between grounding points of AC power lines and signal lines, the electronic equipments connected to the signal lines can easily be damaged by lightning surges. In this work, in order to develop reliable methods of protecting information and communication facilities from lightning surges, the reliability and performance of SPDs (surge protective devices) were experimentally investigated in an actual-sized test circuit. The behaviors of SPDs against lightning surges from AC power lines and signal lines and the coordinated effects of SPD installation methods were evaluated. As a consequence, it was confirmed that the bypass arrester methods and common grounding system are both highly effective.

Nowadays, research of EMI/EMC is very important in electromagnetic wave surroundings generated from many electric and electronic devices. Especially, analysis of electromagnetic radiation characteristic and field have to be performed first of all.

This paper deals with the surge counter drived by lightning and switching currents. In order to install the effective surge protective devices, it is important to find the parameters of incident surges. In this paper, for the purpose of protecting the electronic circuits and counting the occuring frequency, the current driving type surge counter is designed and fabricated. The surge counter consists of surge protective divices, current detector, metal oxide varistor(MOV), rectifier, capacitor, and electromagnetic counter. This surge counter is able to count the occuring frequency of surges and to clamp lightning surge current. To evaluate the performance of the surge counter, impulse voltage and current were applied at the surge counter by the surge generator. As a result, applied surges were exactly counted and clamped.

Hydrosilanes possessing reactive Si-H bond are used in synthesizing various types of polysilanes by dehydrocoupling under the influence of various organometallic promoters. Catalytic Si-Si/Si-O coupling of hydrosilanes with hydrosilanes, alcohols, and lactones to silicon-based polymers are described in this article as selective examples of our recent research developments. These silicon-containing polymers can be used as a precursor to prepare useful functional materials for fabricating electronic devices.

Pentiptycene and its derivatives having cavity, ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking prohibition, and AIEE functionalities were synthesized. 6,7-Dibromo-1,4-dihydropentiptycene-1,4-epoxide was obtained from the reaction of 6,7-dibromo-1,4-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-epoxide and anthracene. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Prepared pentiptycene derivatives could be useful precursor for organofluorene compounds which could be an excellent candidate for electronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLED's) and chemical sensor.

Graphene is expected to have a significant impact in various fields in the foreseeable future. For example, graphene is considered to be a promising candidate to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) as transparent conductive electrodes in optoelectronics applications. We report the tunability of the wavelength of localized surface plasmon resonance by varying the distance between graphene and Au nanoparticles [1]. It is estimated that every nanometer of change in the distance between graphene and the nanoparticles corresponds to a resonance wavelength shift of ~12 nm. The nanoparticle-graphene separation changes the coupling strength of the electromagnetic field of the excited plasmons in the nanoparticles and the antiparallel image dipoles in graphene. We also show a hysteresis in the conductance and capacitance can serve as a platform for graphene memory devices. We report the hysteresis in capacitance-voltage measurements on top gated bilayer graphene which provide a direct experimental evidence of the existence of charge traps as the cause for the hysteresis [2]. By applying a back gate bias to tune the Fermi level, an opposite sequence of switching with the different charge carriers, holes and electrons, is found [3]. The charging and discharging effect is proposed to explain this ambipolar bistable hysteretic switching.

Recent significant development of organic electronics is worthy of notice for its practical application as well as fundamental understandings. Complementary-like logic circuit is a key factor to realize actual operating organic electronic devices since its advantages of low power dissipation, good noise margin and stable operations. In this reason, studies on ambipolar properties of organic materials which can act as either n-type or p-type are getting more attentions. Performances of ambipolar transistors vary a lot along its molecular structures and film properties. When properly fabricated, balanced hole and electron mobilities over 1 cm2/Vs were observed recently. Study of charge transport in ambipolar organic transistors to understand this high performance was carried out through charge modulation spectroscopy.
