In this paper, the reliability (NBTI degradation: ${\Delta}V_{th}$) and device characteristic of nano-scale PMOSFET with plasma nitrided oxide (PNO) is characterized in depth by comparing those with thermally nitrided oxide (TNO). PNO case shows the reduction of gate leakage current and interface state density compared to TNO with no change of the $I_{D.sat}\;vs.\;I_{OFF}$ characteristics. Gate oxide capacitance (Cox) of PNO is larger than TNO and it increases as the N concentration increases in PNO. PNO also shows the improvement of NBTI characteristics because the nitrogen peak layer is located near the $Poly/SiO_2$ interface. However, if the nitrogen concentration in PNO oxide increases, threshold voltage degradation $({\Delta}V_{th})$ becomes more degraded by NBT stress due to the enhanced generation of the fixed oxide charges.

To overcome the stability problem of hydrophilic quantum dot (Q-dot), cellular uptake of hydrophobic instead of hydrophilic Q-dot was studied in the hope to find a simple method to use Q-dot as a cellular imaging probe. Hydrophobic Q-dot and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) were co-dissolved in chloroform to prepare stable films. Due to the cellular compatibility of PLLA, adherent cells were cultured on the film to observe the degree of Q-dot uptake and cytotoxicity of the prepared films. The results show that Q-dots were absorbed into NIH3T3 and EMT6 cells. Cellular uptake was also observed when hydrophobic Q-dots were coated directly on a glass plate. PLLA/Q-dot film and Q-dot coated on glass plate did not show major cytotoxicity. In vivo tumor model was also used to show the uptake of Q-dot from the PLLA/Q-dot film to the tumor site.

We experimentally investigate the evolution of nanosecond Stokes pulses in a single-pass Raman laser pumped by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at 1064 na As a Raman medium, a GeO2-doped graded-index multimode fiber ot 220 m long Is used. We demonstrate that efficient generation of several Stokes components with 1.5∼2.7 nanosecond pulsewidth is obtained by varying the input pump energy.

The cytochrome P450 monooxygenase from the pikromycin biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces venezuelae, known as PikC, was observed to hydroxylate the unnatural substrate indole to indigo. Furthermore, the site-directed mutagenesis of PikC monooxygenase led to the mutant enzyme F171Q, in which Phe171 was altered to Gln, with enhanced activity for the hydroxylation of indole. From enzyme kinetic studies, F171Q showed an approximately five-fold higher catalytic efficiency compared with the wild-type PikC. Therefore, these results demonstrate the promising application of P450s originating from Streptomyces, normally involved in polyketide biosynthesis, to generate a diverse array of other industrially useful compounds.

In this paper, fully embedded 2.4GHz WLAN band pass filter (BPF) was investigated into a multi-layered organic packaging substrate using high Q spiral stacked inductors and high Dk MIM capacitors for low cost RF System on Package (SOP) applications. The proposed 2.4GHz WLAN BPF was designed by modifying chebyshev second order filter circuit topology. It was comprised of two parallel LC resonators for obtaining two transmission zeros. It was designed by using 2D circuit and 3D EM simulators for finding out optimal geometries and verifying their applicability. It exhibited an insertion loss of max -1.7dB and return loss of min -l7dB. The two transmission zeros were observed at 1.85 and 6.7GHz, respectively. In the low frequency band of $1.8GHz{\sim}1.9GHz$, the stop band suppression of min -23dB was achieved. In the high frequency band of $4.1GHz{\sim}5.4GHz$, the stop band suppression of min -l8dB was obtained. It was the first embedded and the smallest one of the filters formed into the organic packaging substrate. It has a size of $2.2{\times}1.8{\times}0.77mm^3$.
