GaAs solar cells may be the most attractive and efficient power source of a satellite. GaAs is more radiation tolerant and less temperature sensitive than widely used silicon. $Al_{x}$ Ga$_{1-x}$ As/GaAs solar cells have been designed and fabricated by Liquid Phase Epitaxial method. GaAs solar cells, of which structure is about 0.2 .mu.m p$^{+}$ - window layer, 0.6-1.O .mu.m Ge-doped p-layer. 3.mu.m n-GaAs layer and n$^{+}$ - buffer layer, have been characterized as a function of operating temperature from 25 .deg.C to 130 .deg.C. Open circuit voltage decreases linearly with increasing temperature by 1.4-1.51 mV/ .deg.C while degradation of silicon solar cells is about 2.2-2.5 mV/ .deg.C, short circuit current does not increase much with increasing temperature. Relative efficiency decreases with increasing of temperature by about 0.21-0.29 %/ .deg.C. Efficiency degradation of silicon solar cells with temperature is known to be about 0.5%/ .deg.C and our results show GaAs solar cells may be an excellent candidate for concentrated solar cells.ells.

The growth of amorphous silica nanowires by on-site feeding of silicon and oxygen is reported. The nanowires were grown on a nickel-coated oxidized silicon substrate without external silicon or oxygen sources. Transmission electron microscopy observation revealed that the nanowires, which have diameters of less than 50 nm and a length of several micrometers, were grown using a traditional vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. Blue photoluminescence was observed from these nanowires at room temperature. An approach to grow nanowires without external precursors may be useful when integrating nanowires into devices structures. This can benefit the fabrication of nanowire-based nanodevices.

The status of structural ceramics in Japan is presented. Use of ceramics for structural components had been limited due to their brittleness, and the successful application was wear resistant parts such as thread guides and ceramic cutting tools up to around 1980. Since then, considerable work has been done for applying ceramics to mechanical parts, and automotive components made of silicon nitride were developed and commercialized in 1980s. Unfortunately, the application of silicon nitride to automotive engines is not so popular in these days. Instead, a variety of structural ceramics such as alumina, silicon carbide and zirconia have recently extended the market, and the expanded application includes vacuum process parts for manufacturing semiconductor and liquid crystal devices, refractory tubes for casting aluminum alloy, and dies for optical lens forming. In addition, cordierite honeycombs and diesel particulate filters are widely used in automobiles. In the present review, the recent application of structural ceramics to automobiles and industries in Japan is summarized.

We present a microscopic description for generation of 1/f noise in interfaces between cobalt thin film and silicon substrate. Along with surface resistance measurements and transmission electron diffraction observations. 1/f noise power spectral density has been measured for the interfacial structures at the liquid nitrogen temperature . The cobalt films have been deposited by the electron-beam evaporation technique onto p-type (100) silicon in the high vacuum condition. The measured noise power spectral density shows highest magnitude near the structural transition and metallization transition region. The noise magnitude rapidly decreased after the cobalt silicide nucleation. The noise parameter is concluded to be originated form the structural fluctuations.

동전만한 작은 크기의 화면을 원하는 크기로 확대해서 보여주는 micro-display는 부피가 작고 가벼운 장점으로 인해 HMD(Head Mount Display)에 적용되었으나, 최근들어 TV나 monitor등에 확대 적용되고 있다. 이러한 micro-display중 LCOS는 최근 가장 활발히 연구되고 있는 micro-display이다$^{(1).(4)}$ . LCOS는 Liquid Crystal On Silicon의 약어로 반도체 제조에 사용되는 silicon wafer위에 액정소자를 얹어 제작하는 것이다. LCOS는 액정화면을 구동하기 위한 silicon back-plate의 반도체 기술, 화상을 표시하는 액정소자 기술, 표시된 화면을 사용자가 볼 수 있도록 투사하는 조명/투사광학 기술등이 집적화된 display이다. LCOS의 최적 특성을 위해서는 각 부분의 성능 최적화뿐만 아니라 각 기술들의 상호 연결 및 접목이 중요하다. (중략)

An experiment is carried out to study the surface-tension driven flow characteristics in a cylindrical liquid column heated from above (which is the low gravity floating zone simulated on earth) with varing the aspect ratio and diameter of the liquid column. Hexadecane, octadecane, silicon oil(10cs), FC-40 and water are used as the test liquids. The free surface shape varies sinusoidally for Ma>M $a_{cr}$ and its frequency is found to be the same as that of temperature oscillation. It is verified that the surface temperature profile changes from linear to S-shaped profile for Ma>M $a_{cr}$ . The frequency of temperature oscillation decreases with increasing liquid volume, while its level increases. M $a_{cr}$ decreases with increasing aspect ratio, and also decreases with increasing Prandtl number in the range of 25

Experimental studies were conducted on the liquid sloshing characteristics in a spherical tank covered with a flexible membrane. A spherical acrylic tank with 145.2 mm in radius was used as a test tank, and it was half-filled with water. Silicon membranes with 0.2 mm thickness were used as a test membrane with plane or hemispherical types. The test tank was harmonically excited in a vertical direction by an electro-dynamic exciter. In this case, a parametric instability vibration comes up when the excitation frequency is twice the natural frequency. Parametric instability regions of natural modes were measured for three cases, i.e. liquid surface is free, covered with plane membrane and hemi-spherical membrane.

We demonstrate an alignment technology using an imprinting process on an inorganic NiOx film. The aligned nanopattern was fabricated on a silicon wafer by laser interference lithography. The aligned nano pattern was then imprinted onto the sol-gel driven NiOx film using an imprinting process at an annealing temperature of $150^{\circ}C$. After the imprinting process, parallel grooves had been formed on the NiOx film. Atomic force microscopy and water contact angle measurements were performed to confirm the parallel groove on the NiOx film. The grooves caused liquid crystal alignment through geometric restriction, similar to grooves formed by the rubbing process on polyimide. The liquid crystal cell exhibited a pretilt angle of $0.2^{\circ}$, which demonstrated homogeneous alignment.

A 32x32 liquid crystal (LC) flat panel display using two-dimensional array of PMOS switches and capacitors is designed and fabricated. Standard PMOS process was followed to fabricate the switch and capacitor array on silicon wafer, on the top of which guest-host effect liquid crystal was wmployed as an electro-optical material for optical switching and liquid crystal display(LCD) with its external drive circuitry was basically successful. Remaining problems to be solved are improvement of contrast ratio, good surface alignment and uniformity.
