본 연구에서는 Wet chemistry damage가 Nanopatterned p-ohmic electrode에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Nanopattern은 Metal clustering을 이용하여, P-GaN와 Ohmic형성에 유리한 Pd을 50$\AA$ 적층한 후 Rapid Thermal Annealing방법으로 $850^{\circ}C$, $N_2$분위기에서 3min열처리를 하여 Pd Clustering mask 를 제작하였다. Wet etching은 $85^{\circ}C$, $H_3PO_4$조건에서 시간에 따라 Sample을 Dipping하는 방법으로 시행하였다 Ohmic test를 위해서 Circular - Transmission line Model 방법을 이용하였으며, Atomic Force Microscopy과 Parameter Analyzer로 Nanopatterned GaN surface위에 형성된 Ni/ Au Contact에서의 전기적 분석과, 표면구조분석을 시행하였다. AFM결과 Wet처리시간에 따라서 Etching형상 및 Etch rate이 영향을 받는 것이 확인되었고, Ohmic test에서 Wet chemistry처리에 의한 Tunneling parameter와 Schottky Barrier Height가 크게 증/감함을 관찰하였다. 이러한 결과들은 Wet처리에 의해서 발생된 Defect가 GaN의 표면과 하부에서 발생되며, Deep acceptor trap 및 transfer거동과 밀접한 관련이 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 보다 자세한 Transport 및 Wet chemical처리영향에 관한 형성 Mechanism은 후에 I-V-T, I-V, C-V, AFM결과 들을 활용하여 발표할 예정이다.

Tunnel excavation leads to a disturbance on the initial stress balance of surrounding soils, which causes convergences around the tunnel and settlements at the ground surface. Considering the effective impact of settlements on the structures at the surface, it is necessary to estimate them, especially in urban areas. In the present study, ground settlements due to the excavation of East-West Line 7 of the Tehran Metro (EWL7) and the Abuzar tunnels are evaluated and the effect of the lateral earth pressure coefficient ($K_0$) on their extension is investigated. The excavation of the tunnels was performed by TBMs (Tunnel Boring Machines). The coefficient of lateral earth pressure ($K_0$) is one of the most important geotechnical parameters for tunnel design and is greatly influenced by the geological characteristics of the surrounding soil mass along the tunnel route. The real (in-situ) settlements of the ground surface were measured experimentally using leveling methods along the studied tunnels and the results were compared with evaluated settlements obtained from both semi-empirical and numerical methods (using the finite difference software FLAC3D). The comparisons permitted to show that the adopted numerical models can effectively be used to predict settlements induced by a tunnel excavation. Then a numerical parametric study was conducted to show the influence of the $K_0$ values on the ground settlements. Numerical investigations also showed that the shapes of settlement trough of the studied tunnels, in a transverse section, are not similar because of their different diameters and depths of the tunnels.

The vulnerabilities existed in Korean electricity control systems is unexposed because it is being operated in a closed network with superior security. The threat will become greater once the closed network develops into a smart grid environment with superior intelligence. Security will have a greater impact once each household will be connected to the power plant via the smart meter. This research focuses on stable data transfer in harsh external environment and whole-nation coverage network, and suggested standardized and optimized Virtual Private Network (VPN) Gateway architecture to support Power Line Communication (PLC). The functionality and stability of the prototype has been verified with field tests. For implementation of outdoor type VPN device for smart grid, we adopted PLC low voltage remote-meter-net for data communication. Also, IPSec type tunneling and ARIA algorithm based encryption of data collected by PLC low voltage remote meter is transmitted.

Recently, as there are a rise in the standard of living and higher concerns of an electromagnetic wave and environment, undergrounding the aerial cables which are supported by large pylons and generally considered as the least attractive feature of an urban area is on an increasing trend to improve aesthetic benefits and electric reliability. This study applied Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) which is expected to become an effective tool to measure indirect benefit to estimate the substantial benefits of undergrounding overhead power line projects in an urban area. The tunneling construction project of the 345kV Shinsungnam electric power cable in Seongnam city was selected and a hypothetical scenario was given to respondents to determine their levels of Willingness to Pay (WTP) for undergrounding overhead power lines. The result from the estimation of the WTP of undergrounding overhead power lines in Seongnam city was calculated as approximately 17.1 billion won. Placing existing overhead lines underground is difficult to justify economically. Most undergrounding costs appear to be justified by aesthetic and public policy considerations. Therefore, considering the result of this study, undergrounding overhead power lines is of great benefit to public.

The objective of this study is the evaluation of the tunneling effect on the goundwater-surface water interaction. The designed tunnel line is laid beneath the Hapo-cheon, which runs throughout the study area. And, the pre-evaluation of the tunnel-influence on the Gapo-cheon is urgently needed. However, it is very difficult to find out the similar domestic and/or foreign cases. In this study, the numerical modeling technique was not considered because of the insufficient data. Instead of the numerical modeling, the measurement and analysis of the stream flow rates 5 different points were adopted to evaluate the influence of the tunnel construction on the Gapo-cheon. Based on the analysis of flow monitoring data, it can be concluded that 39% of flow rate in Gapo-cheon is contributed by the groundwater discharge, as baseflow and the construction of tunnel can seriously decrease the flow rate in Gapo-cheon.
