Continued scaling of MOS devices requires the formation of the ultra shallow and very heavily doped junction. The simulation and experiment results show that the degradation of pMOS performance in logic and SRAM pMOS devices due to the excessive diffusion of the tail and a large amount of dose loss in the extension region. This problem comes from the high-temperature long-time deposition process for forming the spacer and the presence of fluorine which diffuses quickly to the $Si/SiO_{2}$ interface with boron pairing. We have studied the method to improve the pMOS performance that includes the low-energy boron implantation, spike annealing and device structure design using TCAD simulation.

W/n-GaN Schottky diodes were irradiated with $^{60}Co\;{\gamma}-rays$ to doses up to 315Mrad. The barrier height obtained from current-voltage (I-V) measurements showed minimal change from its estimated initial value of ${\sim}0.4eV$ over this dose range, though both forward and reverse I-V characteristics show evidence of defect center introduction at doses as low as 150 Mrad. Post irradiation annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ increased the reverse leakage current, suggesting migration and complexing of defects. The W/GaN interface is stable to high dose of ${\gamma}-rays$, but Au/Ti overlayers employed for reducing contact sheet resistance suffer from adhesion problems at the highest doses.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical risk according to the applicator heterogeneity, mislocation, and tissue heterogeneity correction through a dose verification program during brachytherapy of cervical cancer. We performed image processing with MATLAB on images acquired with CT simulator. The source was modeled and stochiometric calibration and Monte-Carlo algorithm were applied based on dwell time and location to calculate the dose, and the secondary cancer risk was evaluated in the dose verification program. The result calculated by correcting for applicator and tissue heterogeneity showed a maximum dose of about 25% higher. In the bladder, the difference in excess absolute risk according to the heterogeneity correction was not significant. In the rectum, the difference in excess absolute risk was lower than that calculated by correcting applicator and tissue heterogeneity compared to the water-based calculation. In the femur, the water-based calculation result was the lowest, and the result calculated by correcting the applicator and tissue heterogeneity was 10% higher. A maximum of 14% dose difference occurred when the applicator mislocation was 20 mm in the Z-axis. In a future study, it is expected that a system that can independently verify the treatment plan can be developed by automating the interface between the treatment planning system and the dose verification program.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is considered as a clean and efficient energy conversion det ice for mobile and stationary applications. Anions all the components of the PEMFC, the interface between the electrolyte ,and electrode catalyst plays an important role in determining tile cell performance since the electrochemical reactions take place at the interface in contact with tile reactant gases. Therefore, to increase the interface area and obtain a high-performance PEMFC, surface of the electrolyte membrane was roughened by Ar$^{+}$ beam bombardment. The results imply that by modifying surface of the electrolyte membrane, platinum loading can be reduced significantly without performance loss. To optimize the surface treatment condition, effects of ion dose density on characteristics of the membrane/electrode interface were examined by measuring the cell performance, impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammograms. Surface of the modified membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and FT-IR.R.

본 연구에서는 포호필름 코팅 용도를 목적으로 silicone-urethaneacrylate (SUA) 올리고머를 포함하는 자외선 경화형 점착제를 제조하였으며 SUA올리고머의 양과 자외선조사량이 접착물성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 올리고머의 양과 자외선조사량이 증가 할 수 록 박리강도는 감소하였으나 응집력은 증가하였다. 자외선 조사가 시작되면서 젤함량은 초기에 급속히 증가하였으나 이후 일정량을 유지하였다. 탈착시험 결과 70%의 올리고머 함량의 시편 S70이 다른 S50(올리고머 50%함량)과 S60(올리고머 60%함량)과 비교하여 가장 우수한 탈착성을 보였으며 탈착 후 기재에 아무런 잔사를 남기지 않았다. S70의 경우 1857 자외선 조사량과 $2270mJ/cm^2$에서 $26mJ/m^2$ 이하의 표면에너지를 보였으며 95% 이상의 광투과도를 보였으며 이러한 물성은 보호용 필름이 요구하는 물성에 적절하다.

When high energy photon beam is incident upon an air cavity interface the effect of ionization build-up observed . This phenomenon is resulting from the surface layers of the lesions are significant deficiency of electrons reaching the layers because of the replacement, of solid scattering material by the air cavity, that is lack of electronic equilibrium. Measurement have been made in an acrylic phantom with a parallel plate chamber and high energy photon beams, CO-60, 4MV, 6MV and 10MV X-rays have been investigated. The result of our study show that a significant effect was measured and was determined to be very dependent on field size, air cavity dimension and photon energy. The reductions were much larger for 10MV beam, underdosage at the interface was 12, 12.2, 16.9 and $20.6\%$ for the CO-60, 4MV, 6MV and 10MV, respectively. It was found that this non-equilibrium effect at the interface is more severe for the higher energy beams than that of lower energy beams and the larger cavity dimensions the larger beam reductions occur. This problem is of clinical concern when lesions such as carcinoma beyond air cavities are irradiated, such as larynx, glottic and the patients with maxillectomy and ethmoidectomy and so forth.

As and BF$_2$dopants are implanted for the formation of source/drain with dose of 1${\times}$10$^{15}$ ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$∼5${\times}$10$^{15}$ ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$ then formed cobalt disilicide with Co/Ti deposition and doubly rapid thermal annealing. Appropriate ion implantation and cobalt salicide process are employed to meet the sub-0.13 $\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS devices. We investigated the process results of sheet resistance, dopant redistribution, and surface-interface microstructure with a four-point probe, a secondary ion mass spectroscope(SIMS), a scanning probe microscope (SPM), and a cross sectional transmission electron microscope(TEM), respectively. Sheet resistance increased to 8%∼12% as dose increased in $CoSi_2$$n^{＋}$ and $CoSi_2$$p^{V}$ , while sheet resistance uniformity showed very little variation. SIMS depth profiling revealed that the diffusion of As and B was enhanced as dose increased in $CoSi_2$$n^{＋}$ and $CoSi_2$$p^{＋}$ . The surface roughness of root mean square(RMS) values measured by a SPM decreased as dose increased in $CoSi_2$$n^{＋}$ , while little variation was observed in $CoSi_2$$p^{＋}$ . Cross sectional TEM images showed that the spikes of 30 nm∼50 nm-depth were formed at the interfaces of $CoSi_2$$n^{＋}$ / and $CoSi_2$/$p^{＋}$, which indicate the possible leakage current source. Our result implied that Co/Ti cobalt salicide was compatible with high dose sub-0.13$\mu\textrm{m}$ process.

A PC based software, the RTP Research Tool Box (RTB), was developed for IMRT optimization research. The software was consisted of an image module, a beam registration module, a dose calculation module, a dose optimization module and a dose display module. The modules and the Graphical User Interface (GUI) were designed to easily amendable by negotiating the speed of performing tasks. Each module can be easily replaced to new functions for research purpose. IDL 5.5 (RSI, USA) language was used for this software. Five major modules enable one to perform the research on the dose calculation, on the dose optimization and on the objective function. The comparison of three cost functions, such as the uncomplicated tumor control probability (UTCP), the physical objective function and the pseudo-biological objective function, which was designed in this study, were performed with the RTB. The optimizations were compared to the simulated annealing and the gradient search optimization technique for all of the optimization objective functions. No significant differences were found among the objective functions with the dose gradient search technique. But the DVH analysis showed that the pseudo-biological objective function is superior to the physical objective function when with the simulated annealing for the optimization.

고 에너지 광자선 치료 시 공동의 존재로 인한 실험적 선량분포와 치료계획상의 선량분포의 변화를 비교, 평가 하고자 하였으며, 선형가속기의 6 MV 광자선을 이용해서 폴리스틸렌 팬텀, 자체 제작한 아크릴 팬텀으로 공동을 만들고 표면에서 공동까지의 거리는 3 cm로 하고 선원-측정기간 거리는 100 cm로 고정하였고 공동의 크기는 가로 $\times$ 세로 $\times$ 높이로 정하였다. 공동의 넓이, 높이, 존재 유무, 그리고 조사면과 공동의 크기비율에 따른 깊이에 대한 선량변화를 평판형전리함과 미소전류계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 치료계획상의 선량분포는 불균질 보정을 하고 치료계획을 하여 비교하였다. 그 결과 공동의 넓이가 커짐에 따라 선량은 점차 감소하였다. 공동의 존재 시에, 공동후면 이후 깊이선량은 공동의 비존재시보다 크게 나타났다. 공동의 크기를 $5{\times}5{\times}3\;cm^3$로 고정했을 때 조사면이 $4{\times}4\;cm^2$, $5{\times}5\;cm^2$, $6{\times}6\;cm^2$일 경우에 rebuild-up이 일어났다. 그러나 조사면이 $10{\times}10\;cm^2$에서는 선량감소만이 나타났다. 또한 조사면을 $5{\times}5\;cm^2$로 고정했을 때, 공동의 넓이가 $4{\times}4\;cm^2$, $5{\times}5\;cm^2$일 경우에는 rebuild-up현상이 일어났지만, $2{\times}2\;cm^2$, $3{\times}3\;cm^2$일 경우에는 일어나지 않았다. 모든 경우에서 치료계획상의 선량분포에서 rebuild-up 현상이 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 공동이 위치한 곳에 종양이 존재할 때는 치료계획상의 선량분포에 차이가 있으므로 주의를 할 필요가 있다.
