We fabricated ramp-edge Josephson junctions with barriers formed by interface treatments instead of epitaxially grown barrier layers. A low-dielectric Sr$_2$AlTaO$_6$(SAT) layer was used as an ion-milling mask as well as an insulating layer for the ramp-edge junctions. An ion-milled YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-x}$ (YBCO)-edge surface was not exposed to solvent through all fabrication procedures. The barriers were produced by structural modification at the edge of the YBCO base electrode using high energy ion-beam treatment prior to deposition of the YBCO counter electrode. We investigated the effects of high energy ion-beam treatment, annealing, and counter electrode deposition temperature on the characteristics of the interface-controlled Josephson junctions. The junction parameters such as T$_c$, I$_c$c, R$_n$ were measured and discussed in relation to the barrier layer depending on the process parameters.

We report a highly sensitive $NO_2$ gas sensor based on multi-layer graphene (MLG) films synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition method on a microheater-embedded flexible substrate. The MLG could detect low-concentration $NO_2$ even at sub-ppm (<200 ppb) levels. It also exhibited a high resistance change of ~6% when it was exposed to 1 ppm $NO_2$ gas at room temperature for 1 min. The exceptionally high sensitivity could be attributed to the large number of $NO_2$ molecule adsorption sites on the MLG due to its a large surface area and various defect-sites, and to the high mobility of carriers transferred between the MLG films and the adsorbed gas molecules. Although desorption of the $NO_2$ molecules was slow, it could be enhanced by an additional annealing process using an embedded Au microheater. The outstanding mechanical flexibility of the graphene film ensures the stable sensing response of the device under extreme bending stress. Our large-scale and easily reproducible MLG films can provide a proof-of-concept for future flexible $NO_2$ gas sensor devices.

A low cost MOD processing using YBCO oxide powder as a starting precursor was employed for fabrication of YBCO thin films. YBCO oxide is advantageous over metal acetates or TFA salts which are popular starting precursors for conventional MOD-TFA process. YBCO thin films were prepared by oxide-precursor-based MOD process and annealing condition was optimized. The YBCO thin film annealed at 78$0^{\circ}C$ shows no transport $I_c$ and poor microstructure. However, the YBCO thin film annealed at higher temperature shows improvement in microstructure and current transport property. In order to improve critical current, YBCO thin film was prepared by double coating method. YBCO thin film prepared with double coating approach shows enhanced superconducting performance ($I_c$>100A/cm-w).

In the advanced material for the next generation display device, transparent amorphous oxide semiconductors (TAOS) are promising materials as a channel layer in thin film transistor (TFT). The TAOS have many advantages for large-area application compared with hydrogenated amorphous silicon TFT (a-Si:H) and organic semiconductor TFT. For the reasonable characteristics of TAOS, The a-IGZO has the excellent performances such as low temperature fabrication (R.T~), high mobility, visible region transparent, and reasonable on-off ratio. In this study, we investigated how the electric characteristics and physical properties are changed as various oxygen ratio when magnetron sputtering. we analysis a-IGZO film by AFM, EDS and I-V measurement. decreasing the oxygen ratio, the threshold voltage is shifted negatively and mobility is increasing. Through this correlation, we confirm the effect of oxygen ratio. We fabricated the bottom-gate a-IGZO TFTs. The gate insulator, SiO2 film was grown on heavily doped silicon wafer by thermal oxidation method. a-IGZO channel layer was deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. and the annealing condition is $350^{\circ}C$. Electrode were patterned Al deposition through a shadow mask(160/1000 um).

본 연구에서는 현재 디스플레이에서 가장 널리 이용되는 저온 polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si)의 결정화 방법에 따른 thin-film transistor (TFT)의 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 분석에 이용된 결정화 방식은 Excimer Laser Annealing (ELA)와 Metal Induced Crystallization (MIC)이다. ELA와 MIC TFTs의 전기적 특성 측정을 통한 분석결과 ELA와 MIC poly-Si TFTs의 전기적 특성 [field-effect mobility (${\mu}_{FE}$), on/off current ratio ($I_{ON}/I_{OFF}$), sub-threshold swing (SS)]은 큰 차이는 없지만, ELA를 이용한 poly-Si TFT의 전기적 특성이 조금 우수하다. 하지만, MIC poly-Si TFT의 경우 threshold voltage ($V_{TH}$)가 0V에 보다 가까울 뿐만 아니라, 전기적 스트레스를 통한 신뢰성 확인 시 ELA poly-Si TFT보다 조금 더 안정적이다. 이는 ELA의 경우 좁은 면에 선형 레이저 빔으로 조사하면서 생기는 hill-lock의 영향으로 표면이 거칠고 균일하지 못하여 바이어스 인가시 생기는 문제이다. 또한 MIC는 금속 촉매를 이용해 결정립 경계를 확장하고 결정 크기를 키워 대면적화에 유리하다. Thermal Stress에서는 (from 293K to 373K) TFT에 점차 높은 온도를 가하자 MIC poly-Si TFT의 경우 off 상태에서 누설 전류 값이 증가하며 열에 민감한 반응을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

Using the Si/SiGe layer grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy(SSMBE) on the LOCOS-patterned wafers, an emitter-base self-aligned hterojunction biplar transistor(HBT) with the polysilicon-emitter and the silicon germanium(SiGe) base has been fabricated. Trech isolation process, planarization process using a chemical-mechanical poliching, and the selectively implanted collector(SIC) process were performed. A titanium disilicide (TiSi$_{2}$), as a base electrode, was used to reduce an extrinsic base resistance. To prevent the strain relaxation of the SiGe epitaxial layer, low temperature (820${^\circ}C$) annealing process was applied for the emitter-base junction formation and the dopant activation in the arsenic-implanted polysilicon. For the self-aligned Si/SiGe HBT of 0.9${\times}3.8{\mu}m^{2}$ emitter size, a cut-off requency (f$_{T}$) of 17GHz, a maximum oscillation frequency (f$_{max}$) of 10GHz, a current gian (h$_{FE}$) of 140, and an emitter-collector breakdown voltage (BV$_{CEO}$) of 3.2V have been typically achieved.

The structure, shape, size, and magnetic properties of Ni$_{0.5}$Cu$_{0.1}$Zn$_{0.4}$Fe$_2$O$_4$ have been investigated as a function of annealing temperatures. In order to control the microwave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite and the complex losses (magnetic loss and conduction loss), the effect of carbon addition was also studied. It was found that the coercive force decreased with increasing heat-treatment temperatures. Relative complex permeability and reflection loss were measured by the network analyzer. As a result, the natural resonance occurred in the low frequency tinge, and the matching frequency of the ferrite-rubber composite prepared at 130$0^{\circ}C$ was found to be lower. As heat-treatment temperatures were increased, the magnetic loss ($\mu$$_{r}$", $\mu$$_{r}$′) and the dielectric loss ($\varepsilon$$_{r}$"/$\varepsilon$$_{r}$′) were increased. It was caused that the absorption characteristics of the absorber were improved. The conduction loss and magnetic loss were expected to be occurred together because two matching frequencies were shown with carbon addition. It was confirmed that the matching frequency of the microwave absorber could be controlled by controlling heat-treatment temperatures and carbon additions.ons.tions.

The hydrogenation effects on characteristics of polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors(poly-Si TFT's) of which the channel length varies from $2.5{\mu}m\;to\;20{\mu}m$ and poly-Si layer thickness is 50, 100, and 150 nm was investigated. After 1 hr hydrogenation annealing by PECVD, the threshold voltage shift decreased dependent on the channel length, but channel width may not alter the threshold voltage shift. In addition to channel length, the active poly-Si layer thickness may be an important parameter on hydrogenation effects, while gate poly-Si thickness may do not influence on the characteristics of TFT's. Considering our experimental results, we propose that channel length and active poly-Si layer thickness may be a key parameters of hydrogenation of poly-Si TFT's.
