$TiN{\times}$박막은 우수한 내마모성 및 내부식성, 높은 경도 그리고 열적 안정성 등으로 인하여, 절삭공구 및 기계적 부품의 하드코팅, 2차 연료 전지용 확산방지막의 코팅재료로서 광범위하게 사용되어지고 있다. 일반적으로 $TiN{\times}$ 박막은 화학 기상 증착법(CVD)을 이용하였으나, 최근에는 대면적에 균일한 코팅이 가능하고 기판과 박막상의 부착력이 우수하며, 프로세스를 제어하기 쉬운 물리적 기상 증착법(PVD)의 스퍼터링법에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 그러나 스퍼터링법으로 증착된 $TiN{\times}$ 박막의 물성은 주상구조와 국부적 표면결함을 포함하는 박막의 미세구조에 의존하기 때문에 주상구조 사이에 존재하는 Void 와 Pinhole 그리고 crack들이 원인으로 작용하여, 내부식성 및 기계적 특성이 급속도로 저하되는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해서, 본 연구에서는 기판온도를(RT, $200^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$)증가시켜 실험 하였다. 이는 온도증가에 따른 박막의 치밀화가 이루어지고 결함이 감소하여 내부식성 특성향상이 기대되어진다. 또한 플라즈마 밀도를 높이기 위해서, 기존 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링법에 전자기장을 추가로 인가하였다. 이는 플라즈마 밀도증가에 따른 고반응성의 질소 래디컬의 생성율 증가에 기인하여 박막 형성시 질화반응을 촉진시킴으로써 박막의 치밀화 및 내부식성 특성향상이 기대되어진다.

ZnO$_{1-x}$(또는 Zn$_{1+x}$O) 산화아연은 과잉의 아연(또는 oxygen vacancy)이 도우너(donor) 역할을 하는 비화학양론적 n형 산화물 반도체이다. ZnO는 높은 투과율을 가지고 온도나 주변환경에 대해 매우 안정하며, 또한 이미 상용화된 ITO (Indium tin oxide)에 비해 식각 특성이 우수하고, 수소 플라즈마에 대한 저항성이 크다는 장점 때문에 가스센서와 디스플레이용 소자 등 다양한 분야에 응용이 가능하다. ZnO 박막은 CVD, Reactive Magnetron Sputtering, Electron-beam Evaporation 등 여러 가지방법으로 제작할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 형성된 박막의 구성성분이 타겟의 성분과 유사하고 낯은 기판온도에서도 박막이 형성되어지는 장점을 가지는 Pulsed Laser Deposition 방법을 사용하여 유리 기판위에 ZnO 박막을 형성하였다.다.

Ultrafine Si3N4 and Si3N4+SiC mixed powders were synthesized through thermal plasma chemical vapor deposition(CVD) using a hybrid plasma, which was characterized by the supersposition of a radio-frequency plasma and arc jet. The reactant SiCl4 was injected into an arc jet and completely decomposed in a hybrid plasma, and the second reactant CH4 and/or NH3 mixed with H2 were injected into the tail flame through double stage ring slits. In the case of ultrafine Si3N4 powder synthesis, reaction efficiency increased significantly by double stage injection compared to single stage one, although crystallizing behaviors depended upon injection speed of reactive quenching gas (NH3+N2) and injection method. For the preparation of Si2N4+SiC mixed powders, N/C composition ratio could be controlled by regulating the injection speed of NH3 and/or CH4 reactant and H2 quenching gas mixtures as well as by adjusting the reaction space.

ITO thin film is generally fabricated by various. methods such as spray, CVD, evaporation, electron gun deposition, direct current electroplating, high frequency sputtering, and reactive DC sputtering. However, some problems such as peaks, bumps, large particles, and pin-holes on the surface of ITO thin film were reported, which caused the destruction of color quality, the reduction of device life time, and short-circuit. Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is one of the suitable solutions which could solve the problems

Diamond like carbon (DLC) films are known that they show homogeneous alignment property when they are irradiated by Ar ion beam. The DLC films in most of studies were deposited by CVD and contain large mount of hydrogen. In order to identity the hydrogen effect on alignment property, DLC films is deposited by RF magnetron sputter using various ratio of Ar and H2 as reactive gas. DLC films are characterized by FT-IR, Raman and contact angle. Alignment property is estimated by measuring pretilt angle.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film is a transparent electrode, which is widely applied to solar battery, illuminators, optical switches, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display panels (PDPs), and organic light emitting displays (OLEDs) due to its easy formation on glass substrates, goof optical transmittance, and good conductivity. ITO thin film is generally fabricated by various methods such as spray, CVD, evaporation, electron gun deposition, direct current electroplating, high frequency sputtering, and reactive DC sputtering. However, some problems such as peaks, bumps, large particles, and pin-holes on the surface of ITO thin film were reported, which caused the destruction of color quality, the reduction of device life time, and short-circuit. Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) processis one of the suitable solutions which could solve the problems.

In this paper, we studied WVTR(water vapor transmission rate) properties of $Si_3N_4$ thin film that was deposited using TCP-CVD (transformer coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition) method for the possibility of OLED(organic light emitting diode) encapsulation. Considering the conventional OLED processing temperature limit of below $80^{\circ}C$, the $Si_3N_4$ thin films were deposited at room temperature. The $Si_3N_4$ thin films were prepared with the process conditions: $SiH_4$ and $N_2$, as reactive gases; working pressure below 15 mTorr; RF power for TCP below 500 W. Through MOCON test for WVTR, we analyzed water vapor permeation per day. We obtained that WVTR property below 6~0.05 gm/$m^2$/day at process conditions. The best preparation condition for $Si_3N_4$ thin film to get the best WVTR property of 0.05 gm/$m^2$/day were $SiH_4:N_2$ gas flow rate of 10:200 sccm, working pressure of 10 mTorr, working distance of 70 mm, TCP power of 500 W and film thickness of 200 nm. respectively. The proposed results indicates that the $Si_3N_4$ thin film could replace metal or glass as encapsulation for flexible OLED.

The Framingham risk score (FRS) has been used to assess the risk of a cardiovascular event and to identify patients for risk factor modifications. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of the FRS with dietary intake and inflammatory biomarkers. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 180 men ($49.2{\pm}10.2$ years) with MS. Serum levels of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and adiponectin were examined. Participants were asked to complete the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) using the previous 1 year as a reference point. The absolute cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk percentage over 10 years was calculated to estimate the FRS, which was classified as low risk (< 10%), intermediate risk (10-20%), and high risk (> 20%). Mean intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids was lower in subjects who had > 20% FRS than in subjects who had < 10% FRS ($3.7{\pm}1.9$ g/day vs. $4.7{\pm}1.9$ g/day; P < 0.05). Significant differences in the Index of Nutritional Quality of protein, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, vitamin $B_1$, niacin, vitamin $B_6$, and vitamin C were observed between the > 20% FRS group and the < 10% FRS group (P < 0.05). IL-6 concentrations were significantly lower in subjects with a < 10% FRS than in subjects who were 10-20% FRS or > 20% FRS ($0.91{\pm}0.26$ vs. $1.48{\pm}033$ vs. $2.72{\pm}0.57$ pg/mL, respectively; P < 0.05). IL-6 and dietary intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids together explained 6.6% of the variation in FRS levels in a stepwise multiple regression model. Our results provide some evidence that dietary intake in the higher CVD risk group was inferior to that in the lower risk group and that dietary fat intake and IL-6 were associated with FRS and MS in Korean men.

Purpose: The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been shown to be associated with systemic inflammation in obese adults with metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of MetS and its relation to inflammatory markers in obese Thai children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Children with history of endogenous obesity, chronic diseases, drug ingestion, and any acute illness within 2 weeks prior to enrollment were excluded. Their fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, oral glucose tolerance tests, insulin, lipid profiles, and selected inflammatory markers, including interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels, were tested. Results: In this study, 58 obese Thai children (female, 20; male, 38) with a mean body mass index z score of $5.1{\pm}2.2$ were enrolled. The prevalence of MetS and prediabetes was 31% and 17.2%, respectively. None of the children had diabetes. FBG levels, 2-hour glucose levels, and lipid profiles were not statistically different between those with and without MetS. However, obese children with MetS had higher insulin levels and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance values. Elevated hs-CRP levels were found in 69% of the cases, although it was not statistically different between the 2 groups. Conclusion: We described a substantial prevalence of MetS in Thai obese children. Regardless of MetS status, two-thirds of the obese children had elevated hs-CRP level, indicating subtle ongoing inflammatory process. This chronic inflammation feasibly predisposes them to CVD in the future, even in children without MetS.
