  • We investigated the effect of mechanical backside damage in Czochralski grown silicon wafer. The intensity of mechanical damage was evaluated by minority carrier recombination lifetime by laser excitation/microwave reflection photoconductivity decay method, photo-acoustic displacement method, X-ray section topography, and wet oxidation/preferential etching methods. The data indicate that the higher the mechanical damage intensity, the lower the minority carrier lifetime, and the photo-acoustic displacement values increased proportionally, and it was at Grade 1: Grade 2:Grade 3 = 1:19.6:41 that the normalized relative quantization ratio of excess photo-acoustic displacement in damaged wafer was calculated, which are normalized to the excess PAD from sample Grade 1.

  • Various kind of structural defects are observed to be present on the oxidized surface of the silicon crystal which was previously damaged mechanically. The formation of such defects was found to depend on the amount of damage induced and the temperature of thermal oxidation. It was confirmed by the measurement of minority carrier life time that gettering capability decreases as the size of the defects increase. The strained layer which is formed due to smaller amount of damage or lower oxidation temperature believed to has higher capability of gettering over defects like dislocation loops or stacking faults.

  • n-type crystalline silicon wafers were passivated with intrinsic a-Si:H thin films on both sides using HWCVD. Minority carrier lifetime measurement was used to verify interface passivation properties between a-Si:H thin film and crystalline Si wafer. Thin film interface characteristics were investigated depending on $H_2/SiH_4$ ratio and hot wire deposition temperature. Vacuum annealing were processed after deposition a-Si:H thin films on both sides to investigate thermal effects from post process steps. We noticed the effect of interface passivation properties according to $H_2/SiH_4$ ratio and hot wire deposition temperature, and we had maximum point of minority carrier lifetime at H2/SiH4 10 ratio and $1600^{\circ}C$ wire temperature.

  • Information sources about Mongolian pigtail of 13-14C are relatively rich. But it was difficult to estimate the shape of the pigtail in detail with the descriptions in historical writing or travel books only, and paintings were neither enough to observe the beautiful shape of the pigtail closely on the whole because the portrayed characters were always wearing their hats. However, the authors could trace the detailed shape of the pigtail of 13-14C through close investigation into Mongolian stone statue of the period. In conclusion, the authors performed a comparative study by historically comparing the historical writings, archeological materials, ethnological materials and figurative arts featuring medieval Mongolian pigtail. And the authors paid careful attention to the meaning of those materials to the hairdo history. Historically nothern minority races have become assimilated with surrounding races in language, culture and customs through long economical and cultural exchange, and today their national traits gradually fade away by globalization. But each minority race still stands independently and maintain its own traditional culture. only recently began the study by Korean researchers on Mongolian pigtail, and there is still much to be discussed in ethnological issues such as racial pedigree.

  • The electronic and magnetic properties for Mn-adsorbed on the chalcopyrite (CH) AlGaP2 semiconductor are investigated by using first-principles FPLMTO method. The clean CH-AlGaP2 without adsorbed Mn is a p-type semiconductor with a direct band-gap. The Mn-adsorbed CH-AlGaP2 exhibits the ferromagnetic state. It is more energetically stable than the other magnetic ones. The interstitial site on P-terminated surface is more energetically favorable one than the Al/Ga-terminated surface, or the other adsorbing sites. In the case of Mn-adsorbed Al/Ga-terminated surface, it is induced a strong coupling between Mn-3d and neighboring P-3p electrons. The holes of partially unoccupied minority Mn-3d state and majority (or minority) Al-3p or P-3p state are induced. Thus a high magnetic moment of Mn is sustained by holes-mediated double-exchange coupling. It is noticeable that the semiconducting and half-metallic characteristics of CH-AlGaP2:Mn thin film is disappeared.

  • This paper reviewed the past social discussion and health research results on sexual minorities to suggest a future direction. Studies have been done to increase the social inclusion of sexual minorities and promote the health of sexual minorities. However, there is still a lot of exclusive awareness of sexual minorities in Korean society, and the researchers have not identified their health status. Studies have shown that factors that hinder lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people from accessing medical services are the lack of knowledge and awareness of LGBTI people and attitudes not inclusive of LGBTI people's culture. Thus, it is necessary to identify the health status of each sexual minority type and prepare health promotion measures accordingly in national health research. In addition, it is essential to provide medical personnel with sexual minority education and introduce a sexual minority education curriculum that includes theory and practice into the health care curriculum. The result of this paper may be able to act as a guide for future operation plans in health research on sexual minorities.

  • This study aims to illustrate the essence of meaning through sexual minorities' participant experiences in a sexual minority community. This research intends to explore essential meaning structure revealed in sexual minorities' reasons for joining a sexual minority community and in their experience in community activities. The study participants were 8 sexual minorities, and data was collected by in-depth interview. Data analysis was described using Giorgi's analysis methodology in phenomenological research method. As a result, the sexual minorities' participation was consisted of 13 meaning units, 6 derived topics, and 3 essential topics, which were 'An unquenchable thirst', 'Another world called oasis', and 'Real estrangement' Moreover, based on the essential topics, the study participants' common meaning of essence was analyzed as 'spiritual diaspora'. Sexual minority communities shall contribute to developments of own organizations through mutual compensations by vitalizing exchanges with other communities based on this study. Also, the communities should the variety in sexual minorities to allow various people's participation. People's awareness on sexual minorities must be transformed so that closed communities can change. Comprehensive knowledge on sexual minorities should be distributed in the social welfare fields so that sexual minorities may search solutions on issues through various access not limited to certain communities.
