Oxygen ionic conductors of CeScSZ electrolyte in SOFC unit cell are applied to anode and cathode as well as electrolyte to have the triple-phase-boundaries of electrochemical reaction, and it is required to decrease the sintering temperature of anode-supported electrolyte by the nanoscale of CeScSZ electrolyte powder. In this report, nanoscale CeScSZ electrolyte powder was synthesized by chemical synthesis method. The particle size, surface area and morphology of the powder were observed by SEM and BET. Thin film electrolyte of under $10{\mu}m$ was fabricated by tape casting using the synthesized CeScSZ electrolyte powder, and ionic conductivity and gas permeability of electrolyte film were evaluated. Finally the SOFC unit cell was fabricated using the anode-supported electrolyte prepared by a tape casting method and co-sintering, in which the active layer, measuring $20{\mu}m$, was introduced in the anode layer to provide a more efficient reaction. Electrochemical evaluations of the SOFC unit cell, including measurements such as power density and impedance, were performed and analyzed.

최근 발수 특성은 자동차 표면, 건축 구조물, 가전제품 및 모바일 기기 등 여러 분야에서 사용되고 점차 그 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이러한 발수성의 표면은 연 잎이나 곤충의 날개, 도마뱀의 발바닥 등 자연계의 여러 곳에서 관찰 할 수 있다. 특히 연 잎의 표면에서 나타나는 초발수 특성이 마이크로와 나노 크기의 돌기 구조와 표피 왁스 성분에 기인한다는 것이 밝혀지면서 이를 응용한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 물리적인 표면처리로 마이크로와 나노 구조물을 형성하고 그 위에 표면에너지를 낮출 수 있는 물질을 증착하여, 발수 특성을 가지는 표면을 개발하였다. 알루미늄 표면에 마이크로 크기의 알루미나(Al2O3) 분말을 이용한 블라스트(blast) 공정으로 마이크로 구조를 형성하고, 선형 이온 소스(LIS)를 이용한 Ar 이온 빔 에칭으로 나노 구조를 형성하였다. FE-SEM 분석을 통해 수~수십 마이크로 구조 위에 나노 크기의 구조가 형성 된 것을 관찰하였다. 마이크로와 나노 구조가 형성된 알루미늄의 표면에너지를 낮추기 위해 trimethylsilane (TMS) 및 Ar을 이용한 플라즈마처리로 표면에 기능성 코팅막을 형성하였다. 그 결과 TMS처리 전에 비해 표면에너지가 99.75 mJ/m2에서 9.05 mJ/m2으로 급격히 낮아지고 접촉각이 $54^{\circ}$에서 $123^{\circ}$로 향상되었다.

Poly(vinyl butyral), PVB was photooxidized by UV/ozone irradiation and the effect of UV energy on the surface properties of the UV-irradiated PVB film were investigated by the measurement of reflectance, surface roughness, contact angles, elemental composition, and zeta potential. With increasing UV energy, reflectance decreased in the visible and ultraviolet regions particularly at the wavelength of 400nm. The irradiation produced nano-scale surface roughness including the maximum peak-to-valley roughness increased from 274nm for the unirradiated PVB to 370nm at the UV energy of $5.3J/cm^2$. The improved hydrophilicity was due to the higher $O_{1s}/C_{1s}$ resulting from the introduction of polar groups such as C=O bonds. The surface energy of the PVB film increased from $35.3mJ/m^2$ to $39.3mJ/m^2$ at the irradiation of $15.9J/cm^2$. While the zeta potentials decreased proportionally with increasing UV energy, the cationic dyeability of the PVB increased accordingly resulting from the improved affinity of the irradiated PVB surfaces containing the photochemically introduced anionic and dipolar dyeing sites.

Poly ketone (PK) was photo-oxidized by UV/ozone irradiation and the effect of UV energy on the surface properties of the UV-irradiated PK film was investigated by the measurement of reflectance, surface roughness, contact angles, ESCA, and ATR. Reflectance, particularly at the wavelength of 380nm, decreased with increasing UV energy. And the irradiation produced nano-scale roughness on the surface uniformly. The maximum surface roughness increased from 25.3nm for the unirradiated sample to 104.9nm at the irradiation of $42.4J/cm^2$. The improvement in hydrophilicity was caused by the introduction of polar groups such as C-O and C=O bonds resulting in higher $O_{1s}/C_{1s}$. The surface energy of PK film increased from $43.3mJ/m^2$ for the unirradiated sample to $71.9mJ/m^2$ at the irradiation of $31.8J/cm^2$. The zeta potential of the UV-irradiated PK decreased with increased UV energy and the dyeability to cationic dyes increased accordingly, resulting from the photochemically introduced anionic and dipolar dyeing sites on the PK films surfaces.

In this study, we reported the microstructure and properties of Ag-$SnO_2$ contact materials fabricated by a controlled milling process with subsequent consolidation. The milled powders were consolidated to bulk samples using a magnetic pulsed compaction process. The nano-scale $SnO_2$ phases were distributed homogeneously in the Ag matrix after the consolidation. The relative density and hardness of the Ag-$SnO_2$ contact materials were 95~96% and 89~131 Hv, respectively.

Hysteresis phenomena in fluid flow systems are frequently encountered in many industrial and engineering applications and mainly appear during the transient processes of change of the pressure ratio. Shock-containing flow field in supersonic nozzles is typically subject to such hysteresis phenomena, but associated flow physics is not yet understood well. In the present study, experimental work has been carried out to investigate supersonic nozzle flows during the transient processes of change in the nozzle pressure ratio. Time-dependent surface wall pressures were measured by a multiple of pressure transducers and the flow field was visualized using a nano-spark Schlieren optical method. The results obtained show that the hysteresis phenomenon is strongly dependent on the nozzle geometry as well as the time scale of the change of pressure ratio.

Quantum cellular automata (QCA) are one of the alternative technologies that can overcome the limits of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) scaling. It consists of nano-scale cells and demands very low power consumption. Various circuits on QCA have been researched until these days, and in the middle of the researches, exclusive-OR (XOR) gates are used as error detection and recover. Typical XOR logic gates have a lack of scalable, many clock zones and crossover designs so that they are difficult to implement. In order to overcome these disadvantages, this paper proposes XOR design using majority gate reduced clock zone. The proposed design is compared and analysed to previous designs and is verified the performance.

A simple doping method to fabricate a very thin channel body of the n-type fin field-effect-transistor (FinFET) with a 20 nm gate length by solid-phase-diffusion (SPD) process is presented. Using As-doped spin-on-glass as a diffusion source of arsenic and the rapid thermal annealing, the n-type source-drain extensions with a three-dimensional structure of the FinFET devices were doped. The junction properties of arsenic doped regions were investigated by using the $n^+$-p junction diodes which showed excellent electrical characteristics. Single channel and multi-channel n-type FinFET devices with a gate length of 20-100 nm was fabricated by As-SPD and revealed superior device scalability.

Ruthenium (Ru) thin films were grown on thermally-grown $SiO_2$ substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using a sequential supply of four kinds of novel zero-valent Ru precursors, isopropyl-methylbenzene-cyclohexadiene Ru(0) (IMBCHDRu, $C_{16}H_{22}Ru$), ethylbenzen-cyclohexadiene Ru(0) (EBCHDRu, $C_{14}H_{18}Ru$), ethylbenzen-ethyl-cyclohexadiene Ru(0) (EBECHDRu, $C_{16}H_{22}Ru$), and (ethylbenzene)(1,3-butadiene)Ru(0) (EBBDRu, $C_{12}H_{16}Ru$) and molecular oxygen (O2) as a reactant at substrate temperatures ranging from 140 to $350^{\circ}C$. It was shown that little incubation cycles were observed for ALD-Ru processes using these new novel zero-valent Ru precursors, indicating of the improved nucleation as compared to the use of typical higher-valent Ru precursors such as cyclopentadienyl-based Ru (II) or ${\beta}$-diketonate Ru (III) metallorganic precursors. It was also shown that Ru nuclei were formed after very short cycles (only 3 ALD cycles) and the maximum nuclei densities were almost 2 order of magnitude higher than that obtained using higher-valent Ru precursors. The step coverage of ALD-Ru was excellent, around 100% at on a hole-type contact with an ultra-high aspect ratio (~32) and ultra-small trench with an aspect ratio of ~ 4.5 (top-opening diameter: ~ 25 nm). The developed ALD-Ru film was successfully used as a seed layer for Cu electroplating.

Since two-photon polymerization (TPP) emerged as a new technology over a decade ago, a large variety of micro-objects including 3-D micro-optical components, micromechanical devices, and 3-D photonic crystals have been fabricated using TPP with a high spatial resolution of approximately submicron scale to 100 nm. Recent efforts have been made to improve the fabrication efficiency and precision of micro-objects obtained with TPP; in particular, many studies have been carried out with the aim of developing efficient two-photon absorbing chromophores. In this presentation, we will discuss our efforts to develop highly efficient two-photon absorbing materials and also describe recent attempts to enhance the resolution and to improve the fabrication efficiency of nanofabrications based on TPP.
