  • Solid solutions of the (1-x)$BiFeO_3-xSrTiO_3$ ceramic system (x = 0~0.4) are explored here in attempts to obtain multiferroic properties in these systems. The polarization-electric field hysteresis, magnetization-magnetic field curves, and dielectric properties are also characterized. This solid-solution system shows a crystal structural transition from a noncentrosymmetric (R3c) structure to a centrosymmetric (Pm-3m) structure at 0.3 < x < 0.4. The solid solution ceramic shows unsaturated M-H behavior and low remanent magnetization over the composition region of 0.1 ${\leq}$ x ${\leq}$ 0.3. The $0.7BiFeO_3-0.3SrTiO_3$ system shows the largest value of $M_s$ at 0.17 emu/g and the smallest value of $H_c$ at 1.06 kOe. The P-E hysteresis curves were not saturated under an electric field as high as E = 70 kV/cm. This system is considered to have multiferroic characteristics in the composition range of 0.1 ${\leq}$ x ${\leq}$ 0.3.

  • HWE(Hot-Wall Epitaxy) 방법에 의하여 pyrex 유리기판 위에 CdS 다결정 박막을 성장하였다. X-선 회절실험 결과 CdS 박막은 육방정이었는데 (0002)면보다 91013)면이 강 하게 성장됨을 알 수 있었다. 전자현미경으로 표면을 분석한 결과 입자의 크기는 기판의 온 도가 48$0^{\circ}C$, 증발원의 온도가 $610^{\circ}C$일 때 1~1.5$mu extrm{m}$로서 가장 컸다. 박막의 표면저항은 4-point probe로서 측정한 결과 10-8$\Omega$/\ulcorner이상이었다. 성장된 CdS 다결정 박막의 photoluminesence을 20K에서 측정하였는데 bound exciton, donor acceptor pair에 의한 발광이 관측되었다. Spectral response의 peak는 505nm이었다. CdS 다결정 박막의 표면 저항을 줄이기 위하여 여러 가지 온도에서 Indium을 확산시켰다. 그 결과 표면저항은 ~ $\times$ 101에서 ~ $\times$ 103$\Omega$/\ulcorner 정도 감소되었다. 50$0^{\circ}C$에 In을 1시간 확산시켰을 때 표면저항은 1300$\Omega$/\ulcorner이었다. 이 때 CdS : In의 운반자 농도는 1.2 $\times$ 1018cm-3, 이동도는 1.8cm-2/V-sec, 비저항은 1.3 $\times$ 10-2$\Omega$-cm이었다.

  • During the screening of xylanolytic enzymes from locally isolated fungi, one strain BCC14405, exhibited high enzyme activity with thermostability. This fugal strain was identified as Aspergillus cf. niger based on its morphological characteristics and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. An enzyme with xylanolytic activity from BCC14405 was later purified and characterized. It was found to have a molecular mass of ca. 21 kDa, an optimal pH of 5.0, and an optimal temperature of $55^{\circ}C$. When tested using xylan from birchwood, it showed $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values of 8.9 mg/ml and 11,100 U/mg, respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by $CuSO_4$, EDTA, and by $FeSO_4$. The homology of the 20-residue N-terminal protein sequence showed that the enzyme was an endo-1,4-$\beta$-xylanase. The full-length gene encoding endo-1,4-$\beta$-xylanase from BCC14405 was obtained by PCR amplification of its cDNA. The gene contained an open reading frame of 678 bp, encoding a 225 amino acid protein, which was identical to the endo-1,4-$\^{a}$-xylanase B previously identified in A. niger.

  • Terahertz (THz) wave는 광학 영역과 방송파 영역 사이에 광대역 주파수 스펙트럼을 차지하고 있다. X선과는 달리 비이온화 광원으로 직진성, 투과성, 낮은 에너지 (meV)를 가지고 있어 비파괴적이고 무해한 장점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 In0.53Ga0.47As:Be/In0.52Al0.48As의 multi quantum well (MQW)을 Semi-insulting InP:Fe substrate 위에 active layer의 두께와 적층을 변화주어서 성장하였고Au (200 nm)/Ti (30 nm)의 금속전극으로 공정을 하였다. Ti:Sapphire femtosecond pulse laser를 조사하여 THz time-domain spectrometer 시스템을 이용하여 광전도검출법으로 THz 검출 특성을 연구하였다. THz 검출은 짧은 전하수명과 높은 저항을 요구한다. LTInGaAs의 경우 AsGa antisite로 인하여 짧은 전하수명을 얻게 되면 n-type의 높은 전하밀도를 가지게 되어서 저항이 낮아지게 된다. 높은 저항을 만들기 위하여 Be doping을 이용하여 과잉의 전자들을 보상하고 InAlAs layer를 삽입시켜 보다 높은 저항을 얻었다. LT-InGaAs:Be는 LT-GaAs보다 1/70 정도의 amplitude를 보이는데 LT-InGaAs/InAlAs MQW의 경우 LT-GaAs 대비 약 3/4 정도의 큰 amplitude를 얻었다. 또 active layer의 두께가 얇고 적층이 많을수록 신호가 커지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 상대적으로 band gap이 큰 InAlAs층이 더 높은 저항을 만든 것으로 사료된다.

  • The configuration of the flow channel on a bipolar plate of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) for efficient reactant supply has great influence on the performance of the fuel cell. Recent demand for higher energy density fuel cells requires an increase in current density at mid voltage range and a decrease in concentration overvoltage at high current density. Therefore, an interdigitated flow channel where mass transfer rate by convection through a gas diffusion layer is greater than the mass transfer by a diffusion mechanism through a gas diffusion layer was recently proposed. This study attempts to analyze the i-V performance, mass transfer and pressure drop in interdigitated flow channels by developing a fully three dimensional simulation model for PEMFC that can deal with anode and cathode flow together. The results indicate that the trade off between performance and pressure loss should be considered for efficient design of flow channels. Although the performance of the fuel cell with interdigitated flow is better than that with conventional flow channels due to a strong mass transfer rate by convection across a gas diffusion layer, there is also an increase in friction due to the strong convection through the porous diffusion layer accompanied by a larger pressure drop along the flow channel. It was evident that the proper selection of the ratio of channel and rib width under counter flow conditions in the fuel cell with interdigitated flow are necessary to optimize the interdigitated flow field design.

  • Started from the Industrial Revolution in England, the design movement, the concept of plastic arts is spread and developed in many European countries. It meets new phase due to the much more developed industrial techniques and internationalized era since the World War II. The concept of identity in design appeared with industrial diversification, specialization, and inter- nationalization comes out through every visual identification standards. And the concept is used in public facilities and groups such as national institutions, schools, hospitals, or lots of religious bodies, as well as in industries to aim at the most profit from products' sale. Since the opening of Seoul National University of Technology in 1910, the university which has long history and tradition of about 90 years has used the unique visual identification in changing the University name to meet with the surrounding environment and the timely characteristics. However, the English name for the University was changed in 1998, so the new era to leap was open. Therefore, the University introduced formally the concept of U. I. (University Identification) with the new image. It is an inevitable outcome of modern time.

  • We present a novel 3D fabrication method with single X-ray process utilizing an X-ray mask in which a micro-actuator is integrated. An X-ray absorber is electroplated on the shuttle mass driven by the integrated micro-actuator during deep X-ray exposures. 3D microstructures are revealed by development kinetics and modulated in-depth dose distribution in resist, usually PMMA. Fabrication of X-ray masks with integrated electrothermal xy-stage and electrostatic actuator is presented along with discussions on PMMA development characteristics. Both devices use $20-\mu\textrm{m}$-thick overhanging single crystal Si as a structural material and fabricated using deep reactive ion etching of silicon-on-insulator wafer, phosphorous diffusion, gold electroplating, and bulk micromachining process. In electrostatic devices, $10-\mu\textrm{m}-thick$ gold absorber on $1mm{\times}1mm$ Si shuttle mass is supported by $10-\mu\textrm{m}-wide$, 1-mm-long suspension beams and oscillated by comb electrodes during X-ray exposures. In electrothermal devices, gold absorber on 1.42 mm diameter shuttle mass is oscillated in x and y directions sequentially by thermal expansion caused by joule heating of the corresponding bent beam actuators. The fundamental frequency and amplitude of the electrostatic devices are around 3.6 kHz and $20\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively, for a dc bias of 100 V and an ac bias of 20 VP-P (peak-peak). Displacements in x and y directions of the electrothermal devices are both around $20{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$at 742 mW input power. S-shaped and conical shaped PMMA microstructures are demonstrated through X-ray experiments with the fabricated devices.

  • Low-temperature epitaxial growth of Si and SiGe layers of Si is one of the important processes for the fabrication of the high-speed Si-based heterostructure devices such as heterojunction bipolar transistors. Low-temperature growth ensures the abrupt compositional and doping concentration profiles for future novel devices. Especially in SiGe epitaxy, low-temperature growth is a prerequisite for two-dimensional growth mode for the growth of thin, uniform layers. UHV-ECRCVD is a new growth technique for Si and SiGe epilayers and it is possible to grow epilayers at even lower temperatures than conventional CVD's. SiH and GeH and dopant gases are dissociated by an ECR plasma in an ultrahigh vacuum growth chamber. In situ hydrogen plasma cleaning of the Si native oxide before the epitaxial growth is successfully developed in UHV-ECRCVD. Structural quality of the epilayers are examined by reflection high energy electron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Nomarski microscope and atomic force microscope. Device-quality Si and SiGe epilayers are successfully grown at temperatures lower than 600℃ after proper optimization of process parameters such as temperature, total pressure, partial pressures of input gases, plasma power, and substrate dc bias. Dopant incorporation and activation for B in Si and SiGe are studied by secondary ion mass spectrometry and spreading resistance profilometry. Silicon p-n homojunction diodes are fabricated from in situ doped Si layers. I-V characteristics of the diodes shows that the ideality factor is 1.2, implying that the low-temperature silicon epilayers grown by UHV-ECRCVD is truly of device-quality.

  • Super junction trench gate power MOSFETs have been receiving attention in terms of the trade-off between breakdown voltage and on-resistance. The vertical structure of super junction trench gate power MOSFETs allows the on-resistance to be reduced compared with conventional Trench Gate Power MOSFETs. The heat release of devices is also decreased with the reduction of on-resistance. In this paper, Lattice Temperature of two devices, Trench Gate Power MOSFET and Super junction trench gate power MOSFET, are compared in several temperature circumstance with the same Breakdown Voltage and Cell-pitch. The devices were designed by 100V Breakdown voltage and measured from 250K Lattice Temperature. We have tried to investigate how much temperature rise in the same condition. According as temperature gap between top of devices and bottom of devices, Super junction trench gate power MOSFET has a tendency to generate lower heat release than Trench Gate Power MOSFET. This means that Super junction trench gate power MOSFET is superior for wide-temperature range operation. When trench etching process is applied for making P-pillar region, trench angle factor is also important component. Depending on trench angle, characteristics of Super junction device are changed. In this paper, we focus temperature characteristic as changing trench angle factor. Consequently, Trench angle factor don't have a great effect on temperature change.

  • Contact-type linear image sensors for facsimile have been fabricated by means of rf glow discharge decomposition method of silane. The dependence of their electrical and optical properties on rf power, $SiH_4$ flow rate, ambient gas pressure, $H_2SiH_4$ ratio and substrate temperature are described. The a-Si:H monolayer demonstriated photosensitivity of 0.85 and $I_{ph}/I_d$ ratio of 100 unger 100 lux illumination. However, this monolayer has relatively high dark current due to carrier injection from both electrodes, resulting in low $I_{ph}/I_{dd}$ ratio. To suppress the dark current we have fabricated $SiO_2/i-a-Si:H/p-a-Si:H:B$ multilayer film with blocking structure. The photocurrent of this multilayer sensor with 6 V bias became saturated ar about 20nA under 10 lux illumination, while the dark current was less than 0.2 nA. Moreover, the spectral sensitivity of the multilayer film was enhanced for short wavelength visible region, compared with that of the a-Si:H monolayer. These results show that the fabricated photocon-ductive film can be used as the linear image sensor of the facsimile.
