  • Among many material processing related issues for successful scaling down of devices for the next 10 years or so, the advanced gate stack and interconnect technology are two most critical research areas, which need technical innovation. The introduction of new metallic films and appropriate processing technologies are required more than ever. Especially, as the device downscaling continues well into sub 50 nm regime, the paradigm for metal nano film deposition technique research has been shifted to high conformality, low growth temperature, high quality with uniformity at large area wafers. Regarding these, ALD has sparked a lot of interests for a number of reasons. The process is intrinsically atomic in nature, resulting in the controlled deposition of films in sub-monolayer units with excellent conformality. In this paper, the overview on the current issues and the future trends in device processing technologies related to metal nano films as well as the R&D trends in these applications will be discussed. The focus will be on the applications for metal gate, capacitor electrode for DRAM, and diffusion barriers/seed layers for Cu interconnect technology.

  • Drought forecasting is crucial to minimize the damage to food security and water resources caused by drought. Satellite-based drought research has been conducted since 1980s, which includes drought monitoring, assessment, and prediction. Unlike numerous studies on drought monitoring and assessment for the past few decades, satellite-based drought forecasting has gained popularity in recent years. For successful drought forecasting, it is necessary to carefully identify the relationships between drought factors and drought conditions by drought type and lead time. This paper aims to provide an overview of recent research trends and challenges for satellite-based drought forecasts focusing on lead times. Based on the recent literature survey during the past decade, the satellite-based drought forecasting studies were divided into three groups by lead time (i.e., short-term, sub-seasonal, and seasonal) and reviewed with the characteristics of the predictors (i.e., drought factors) and predictands (i.e., drought indices). Then, three major challenges-difficulty in model generalization, model resolution and feature selection, and saturation of forecasting skill improvement-were discussed, which led to provide several future research directions of satellite-based drought forecasting.

  • 디지털기술융합사회에서 문화기술의 중요도가 커지고 있지만, 이에 비해 문화기술의 동향을 정확하게 파악하고 분석하고자 하는 시도가 부족한 실정이다. 특히 문화기술의 경우 국가 차원에서 주도하여 발전해 왔으며, 이에 문화기술을 분석함에 있어 국가적 관점을 견지하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 국가연구과제를 바탕으로 문화기술 동향을 분석하고 향후 문화기술 발전에 대한 시사점을 제공하는 데 초점을 맞추었다. 본 연구는 국가과학기술정보서비스(NTIS)에서 문화기술 연구과제 데이터를 수집하여 연구내용에 대한 키워드 네트워크를 분석하고, 군집분석을 통해 문화기술 과제를 유형화하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 문화기술은 정보지식에서 디지털콘텐츠, 문화미디어로 발전하고 최근 머신러닝 기술에 접목하여 활발하게 활용되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 최근에는 코로나19의 사회적 환경의 변화로 비대면 온라인 콘텐츠에 대한 수요로 AR, VR 등 다양한 문화산업에 대한 연구로 발전하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 본 연구는 문화기술을 이해하고 그 동향을 분석하여, 문화기술의 혁신 가능성을 확인하기 위한 중요한 단서를 제공하였다.

  • Satellite-based land surface temperature (LST) has been used as one of the major parameters in various climate and environmental models. Especially, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) LST is the most widely used satellite-based LST product due to its spatiotemporal coverage (1 km spatial and sub-daily temporal resolutions) and longevity (> 20 years). However, there is an increasing demand for LST products with finer spatial resolution (e.g., 10-250 m) over regions such as urban areas. Therefore, various methods have been proposed to produce high-resolution MODIS-like LST less than 250 m (e.g., 100 m). The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of recent research trends and challenges for the downscaling of MODIS LST. Based on the recent literature survey for the past decade, the downscaling techniques classified into three groups-kernel-driven, fusion-based, and the combination of kernel-driven and fusion-based methods-were reviewed with their pros and cons. Then, five open issues and challenges were discussed: uncertainty in LST retrievals, low thermal contrast, the nonlinearity of LST temporal change, cloud contamination, and model generalization. Future research directions of LST downscaling were finally provided.

  • This paper measures the operational efficiency of domestic online game companies and analyze its trends and patterns by using data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA is a non-parametric approach to measuring the relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs. 14 online game companies are selected as DMUs and three inputs (number of employees, capital and asset) and three outputs (sales, operating profit and net profit) are selected as DEA variables. First, the output-oriented BCC model and super-efficiency model are employed to measure the static operational efficiency of the online game companies from 2003 to 2012. We also conduct the dynamic analysis with DEA window model to capture the trends of their operational efficiency influenced by internal and external environmental changes. The results are expected to provide fruitful implications for strategic decision making of online game companies and policy making for the online game industry.

  • 환경문제가 대두되면서 이미 선진국의 포장재 공급업체들은 소비자의 관심과 재활용 규제가 친환경 포장재 수요를 불러일으킬 것으로 전망하였다. 이러한 수요에 대응하기 위해 옥수수와 같은 식물을 활용해 만든 여러 형태의 바이오 플라스틱을 출시해 왔으며, 국내 업체들에서도 점차 이에 대한 관심을 높여가고 있다. 점차 강화되고 있는 폐기물 부담금과 불안정한 국제 유가를 고려할 때, 바이오 플라스틱은 소비자들의 친환경 제품에 대한 관심과 연결되어 국내 플라스틱 산업의 새로운 활로가 될 것으로 기대된다. 이를 위해서는 비교적 초기단계에 있는 국내 친환경 플라스틱 기술에 대해 기업과 대학에서 활발한 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 보인다. 빠르면 2-3년 내에 생분해성 플라스틱을 주원료로 한 도시락 용기, 컵라면 용기 및 각종 상품용 포장용기가 실용화되고, 장기적으로는 폐수내의 중금속 이온 제거제를 비롯하여 생체 의료용제 등과 같은 첨단의 고부가 생명 공학기술을 응용한 다양한 종류의 환경 친화 제품의 출시가 예상되며, 향후 생분해성 플라스틱 산업은 시장 잠재력과 성장성이 무한한 환경 관련 사업으로 평가된다.

  • Yogurt is a food produced by bacterial fermentation of milk and the bacteria used to make it are known as "yogurt cultures". Most of them belong to probiotics such as Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria. Domestic fermented milk market is increasing and about 30 companies are producing yogurt. The purpose of this study was to analyze the quality characteristics of domestic commercial semisolid type yogurt. We collected 20 types of commercial yogurt at local markets. Physicochemical properties including pH, sugar content, acidity, viscosity and microbial characteristics of lactic acid bacteria counts were measured. The yogurt showed pH 4.5, 7.4~18.1% of sugar contents, 0.6~1.3% of total acids and 282~748 cP of viscosities. In the microorganism populations, lactic acid bacteria count were 6.5~11.5 Log CFU/mL and anaerobic lactic acid bacteria count were 7.2 ~ 11.1 Log CFU/mL. The quality characteristics were different depending on the constituents of the sample and the microorganisms used. These results are related to the quality characteristics of yogurts which are useful information about identifying new trends in domestic fermented milk industry.
