The effect of excess Bi contents on the ferroelectric properties of B $i_{3.25}$ L $a_{0.75}$ $Ti_3$ $O_{12}$ (BLT) thin films has been investigated. Bismuth lanthanum titanate thin films with excess Bi contents were prepared onto Pt/Ti/ $SiO_2$/Si substrate by metalorganic decomposition (MOD) technique. The structure and morphology of the films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. From the XRD analysis, BLT thin films show polycrystalline structure and the layered-perovskite phase was obtained over 10% excess of Bi contents. As a result of ferroelectric characteristics related to the Bi content of the BLT thin film, the remanent polarization and dielectric constant decreased with increasing over Bi content of 10% excess. The BLT film with Bi content of 10% excess was measured to have a dielectric constant of 326 and dielectric loss of 0.024. The BLT thin films showed little polarization fatigue test up to 3.5$\times$10$^{9}$ bipolar switching cycling.

We have investigated dielectric properties depending on temperature in organic light-emitting diodes using 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum ($Alq_3$) as an electron transport and emissive material. We analyzed the dielectric properties of organic light-emitting diodes using characteristics of impedance. he Impedance characteristics was measured complex impedance Z and phase $\theta$ in the temperature range of 10 K to 300 K. We obtained complex electrical conductivity, dielectric constant and loss tangent ($tan{\delta}$) of the device at room temperature. From these analyses, we are able to interpret a conduction mechanism and dielectric properties contributed by an interfacial and orientational polarization.

Group III-nitride semiconductors have been widely studied as the materials for growth of light emitting devices. Currently, GaN devices are predominantly grown in the (0001) c-plane orientation. However, in case of using polar substrate, an important physical problem of nitride semiconductors with the wurtzite crystal structure is their spontaneous electrical polarization. An alternative method of reducing polarization effects is to grow on non-polar planes or semi-polar planes. However, non-polar and semipolar GaN grown onto r-plane and m-plane sapphire, respectively, basically have numerous defects density compared with c-plane GaN. The purpose of our work is to reduce these defects in non-polar and semi-polar GaN and to fabricate high efficiency LED on non/semi-polar substrate. Non-polar and semi-polar GaN layers were grown onto patterned sapphire substrates (PSS) and nano-porous GaN/sapphire substrates, respectively. Using PSS with the hemispherical patterns, we could achieve high luminous intensity. In case of semi-polar GaN, photo-enhanced electrochemical etching (PEC) was applied to make porous GaN substrates, and semi-polar GaN was grown onto nano-porous substrates. Our results showed the improvement of device characteristics as well as micro-structural and optical properties of non-polar and semi-polar GaN. Patterning and nano-porous etching technologies will be promising for the fabrication of high efficiency non-polar and semi-polar InGaN LED on sapphire substrate.

The control of magnetization by an electric field at room temperature remains as one of great challenges in materials science. Multiferroics, in which magnetism and ferroelectricity coexist and couple to each other, could be the most plausible candidate to realize this long-sought capability. While recent intensive research on the multiferroics has made significant progress in sensitive, magnetic control of electric polarization, the electrical control of magnetization, the converse effect, has been observed only in a limited range far below room temperature. Here we demonstrate at room temperature the control of both electric polarization by a magnetic field and magnetization by an electric field in a multiferroic hexaferrite. The electric polarization rapidly increases in a magnetic field as low as 5 mT and the magnetoelectric susceptibility reaches up to 3200 ps/m, the highest value in single phase materials. The magnetization is also modulated up to 0.34 mB per formula unit in an electric field of 1.14 MV/m. Furthermore, this compound allows nonvolatile, magnetoelectric reading- and writing-operations entirely at room temperature. Four different magnetic/electric field writing conditions generate repeatable, distinct M versus E curves without dissipation, offering an unprecedented opportunity for a multi-bit memory or a spintronic device applications.

본 논문에서는 3D NAND Flash memory의 O/N/O(Oxide/Nitride/Oxide) 구조와 blocking oxide를 ferroelectric material로 대체한 O/N/F(Oxide/Nitride/Ferroelectric) 구조의 current path를 분석했다. O/N/O 구조는 V_read가 인가되면 neighboring cell의 E-field로 인해 current path가 channel 후면에 형성된다. 반면 O/N/F 구조는 ferroelectric material의 polarization으로 인해 electron이 channel 전면으로 이동하여 current path가 전면에 형성된다. 또한 channel thickness와 channel length에 따른 소자 특성을 분석했다. 분석 결과 O/N/F 구조의 전면 electron current density 증가는 O/N/O 구조보다 2.8배 더 높았고 O/N/F 구조의 전면 electron current density 비율이 17.7% 높았다. 따라서 O/N/O 구조보다 O/N/F 구조에서 전면 current path가 더 효과적으로 형성된다.

The changes in threshold voltage and DIBL were investigated for changes in remanent polarization P_r and coercive field E_c, which determine the characteristics of the P-E hysteresis curve of ferroelectric in NCFET (negative capacitance FET). The threshold voltage and DIBL (drain-induced barrier lowering) were observed for a junctionless double gate MOSFET using a gate oxide structure of MFMIS (metal-ferroelectric-metal-insulator-semiconductor). To obtain the threshold voltage, series-type potential distribution and second derivative method were used. As a result, it can be seen that the threshold voltage increases when P_r decreases and E_c increases, and the threshold voltage is also maintained constant when the P_r/E_c is constant. However, as the drain voltage increases, the threshold voltage changes significantly according to P_r/E_c, so the DIBL greatly changes for P_r/E_c. In other words, when P_r/E_c=15 pF/cm, DIBL showed a negative value regardless of the channel length under the conditions of ferroelectric thickness of 10 nm and SiO₂ thickness of 1 nm. The DIBL value was in the negative or positive range for the channel length when the P_r/E_c is 25 pF/cm or more under the same conditions, so the condition of DIBL=0 could be obtained. As such, the optimal condition to reduce short channel effects can be obtained since the threshold voltage and DIBL can be adjusted according to the device dimension of NCFET and the P_r and E_c of ferroelectric.

Objectives : Being introduced in the 1980s, laser acupuncture studies have been steadily carried on such as its thermal effects on human body. However, the mechanisms of effect are not yet clearly explained. Generally, laser acupuncture could be favorable for pediatric patients or people under special conditions (hemophilia, needle-phobia, pathogen-carriers, etc.) because of lower risk of infection, bleeding, pain or fainting. But there are still problems for using laser acupuncture equivalently as the traditional metal needle. The goal of this study is to review the fundamentals, history and present trend of laser acupuncture study, and to suggest how to develop laser acupuncture as an oriental medical device. Method : We performed literature search using PubMed(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) and Scopus(http://www.scopus.com). Search conditions are laser acupuncture, laser needle, LLLT(as title or abstract) or Litscher G(as author). Main target studies are physical fundamentals, clinical trials, physiological results and device proposals. Results : Many research have shown the similarities of laser acupuncture and traditional metal acupuncture and have reported clinical and physiological effects of laser acupuncture. But, still laser acupuncture is not widely used in Korea due to high-cost of equipments and the lack of clear understanding of laser devices. Additionally, there are still challenges in standardization and device development. Conclusions : Frequencies, laser modes, waveguides, adaptor types, polarization and signal modulations are suggested as future study subjects on laser acupuncture. More various studies and efforts for device development have to be performed to provide oriental medical doctors with evidence based confidence about usage of laser acupuncture.

PLT(10) 박막을 $Pt/TiO_2/SiO_2/Si$ 기판 위에 sol-gel법으로 제작하여, 상부전극의 면적과 외부인가 펄스전압 및 부하저항을 변화시켜 가며 비휘발성 메모리 소자에 응용하기 위해 필수적인 switching 특성을 조사하였다. 외부인가 펄스전압이 2V에서 5V 까지 증가함에 따라, switching time은 $0.49{\mu}s$에서 $0.12{\mu}s$로 감소하였으며, 인가된 펄스전압에 대한 switching time의 관계로부터 구한 활성화 에너지 ($E_a$)는 209 kV/cm이었다. 상부전극 면적이 $3.14{\times}10^{-4}cm^2$인 박막에서 이력곡선과 polarization switching 실험으로부터 구한 switched charge density는 5V에서 각각 $11.69{\mu}C/cm^2$과 $13.02{\mu}C/cm^2$으로 양쪽 값 사이의 오차는 약 10%로 비교적 잘 일치하는 경향을 나타내었다. 상부전극의 면적이 $3.14{\times}10^{-4}cm^2$에서 $5.03{\times}10^{-3}cm^2$으로 증가함에 따라, switching time이 $0.12{\mu}s$에서 $1.88{\mu}s$로 증가하였으며, 부하저항을 50${\Omega}$에서 3.3$k{\Omega}$으로 증가시킴에 따라 switching time은 $0.12{\mu}s$에서 $9.7{\mu}s$로 증가로 증가하였다. 이와 같은 switching 특성에 관한 연구를 통해 PLT(10) 박막이 비휘발성 메모리 소자에 응용될 수 있는 매우 유망한 재료임을 알 수 있다.
