The electron emission and degradation of the ferroelectric Pb($\textrm{Zr}_{0.5}\textrm{Ti}_{0.5}$)$\textrm{O}_3$ ceramics by the pulse electric field have been investigated as a function of the upper electrode diameter. Polarization increased with the decrease of the upper electrode diameter due to the increase of the volume fraction participated in the polarization reversal near the electrode edge. Simulation using ANSYS 5.3 for the electric field distribution showed that the electric field increased near the upper electrode edge of the asymmetric electrode structure. The ferroelectric volume near the upper electrode edge which contributed to the increase of the polarization and the emission charge per electrode diameter were independent on the upper electrode diameter. Polarization and dielectric constant were decreased due to the erosion of the upper electrode with repeating the emission cycles, but they were recovered by the electrode regeneration. The degradation of the ferroelectric surface resulted in the increase of the coercive field and dielectric loss.

The phase change electrode board for the bio-information detection through electrical property response of phase change material was developed in this study. We manufactured the electrode board using Aluminum first that is widely used in conventional semiconductor device process. Without further treatment, these aluminum electrodes tend to contain voids in PETEOS(plasma enhanced tetraethyoxysilane) material that are easily detected by cross-sectional SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). The voids can be easily attacked and transformed into holes in between PETEOS and electrodes after etch back and washing process. In order to resolve this issue of Al electrode board, we developed a electrode board manufacturing method using low resistivity TiN, which has advantages in terms of the step-coverage of phase change($Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$, GST) thin film as well as thermodynamic stability, without etch back and washing process. This TiN material serves as the top and bottom electrode in PRAM(Phase-change Random Access Memory). The good connection between the TiN electrode and GST thin film was confirmed by observing the cross-section of TiN electrode board using SEM. The resistances of amorphous and crystalline GST thin film on TiN electrodes were also measured, and 1000 times difference between the amorphous and crystalline resistance of GST thin film was obtained, which is well enough for the signal detection.

본 연구에서는 Ta이 도핑된 $TiO_2$와 $Au/TiO_2$ nanocomposite 박막을 co-sputtering법으로 제작하였다. Ta-doped $TiO_2$ 박막은 금흥석(rutile)에서 아나타제 상으로 변하는 구조를 유도하는 고용체를 형성했다. $Au/TiO_2$ nanocomposite film의 경우에는, 지름이 약 15 nm인 Au particles들이 $TiO_2$ matrix에 균질하게 분포되었다. Ta가 도핑된 $TiO_2$ 전극과 $Au/TiO_2$ 나노 콤포사이트 전극의 anodic photocurrents가 UV뿐만 아니라 가시광선 영역에서도 관찰되었다. Ta이 도핑된 $TiO_2$ 전극과 $Au/TiO_2$ 나노 콤포사이트 사이의 가시광선 영역에서 photoresponse는 계면 상태로 부터의 bandgap의 감소와 전자의 photoexcitation 때문이다.

The characteristic and performance of ${\beta}-PbO_2$ layer electrodeposited on ${\alpha}-PbO_2/IrO_2-TiO_2/Ti$ substrate by adding sodium lauryl sulfate and $TiO_2$ powder in lead nitrate solution were investigated by using XRD, SEM, cyclic voltammograms, and macro-elctrolysis. Results of XRD analysis ascertain that ${\beta}-PbO_2$ layers electrodeposited in the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate and $TiO_2$, powder on ${\alpha}-PbO_2/IrO_2-TiO_2/Ti$ substrate have the same tetragonal structure as pure ${\beta}-PbO_2$ layers. The SEM results show that sodium lauryl sulfate tend to diminish crystal size of the deposited layer. The ${\beta}-PbO_2$ electrode electrodeposited in the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate and $TiO_2$ powder gives significantly improved oxygen overvoltage and durability for anodic oxidation in KOH and $HClO_4$ supporting electrolyte. Electrode performance and durability for the evolution of ozone in perchloric acid solution have been investigated by using ${\beta}-PbO_2$ electrodes electrodeposited on Titanium $madras^{(R)}$. It was ascertained that the $PbO_2$ electrode electrodeposited on ${\alpha}-PbO_2/IrO_2-TiO_2/Ti$ $madras^{(R)}$ by adding sodium lauryl sulfate and $TiO_2$ powder in $HClO_4$ supporting electrolyte had the highest current efficiency and durability.

In this study, surface characteristics and corrosion behaviors have been investigated in addition to Zr elements on the low elastic modulus Ti-30Ta alloy. Low elastic modulus Ti-30Ta-xZr(x : 3, 7 and 15 wt %) alloys were prepared by arc melting and then heat treated at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs in an argon atmosphere. Microstructures of the alloys were examined by field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM) and X-ray diffractometer(XRD). Electrochemical experiments were performed using a conventional three-electrode configuration with a sample working electrode, a high density carbon counter electrode and a saturated calomel reference electrode. According to the result of polarization behavior in the Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys, the current density of homogenized Ti-30Ta-15Zr in the passive region was lower than the other alloys.

Dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSCs) based on $TiO_2$ film photo anode incorporated with different amount of grapheme nanosheet(GNS) are fabricated and their photovoltaic performance are investigated. The $TiO_2$-GNS composite electrode has been prepared by a direct mixing method. The DSSC performance of this composite electrode was measured using N3 dye as a sensitizer. The performance of DSSCs using the $TiO_2$-GNS composite electrodes is dependent on the GNS loading in the electrodes. The results show that the DSSCs incorporating 0.01 wt% GNS in $TiO_2$photo anode demonstrates a maximum power conversion efficiency of 5.73%, 26% higher than that without GNS. The performance improvement is ascribed to increased N3 dye adsorption, the reduction of electron recombination and back transport reaction as well as enhancement of electron transport with the introduction of GNS. The presence of both $TiO_2$(anatase) and GNS has been confirmed by FieldEmission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FE-SEM). The decrease in recombination due to GNS in DSSCs has been investigated by the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy.

The titanium oxide thin films were prepared by air oxidation and water vapor oxidation. The electrochemical properties of the electrodes were studied in 1M NaOH solution. The peak potentials of oxygen reduction from cyclic voltammogram techniques were observed at aroung -0.9 ∼ -1.0 V vs. SCE and the reaction was totally irreversible process. The electrochemical properties of titanium dioxide electrodes prepared by water vapor oxidation exhibited different from the air oxidized electrodes, but it was similar to single crystal $TiO_2$. The peak potentials of oxygen reduction were observed at slightly more positive than flat band potentials and depended on pH.

본 연구에서는 질화물계 발광 다이오드의 광추출효율을 향상시키기 위해서 Bi-layer나노 임프린트 리소그래피와 Lift-off 공정을 이용하여 ITO투명전극 층 상부에 TiO2 나노 패턴을 형성하였다. 발광 다이오드의 투명전극 층 상부에 UV 나노 임프린트 리소그래피를 이용하여 주기적인 폴리머 패턴을 형성한 후 폴리머 패턴 상부에 RF magnetron Sputtering 공법을 이용하여 TiO2를 증착하고 Lift-off 공정을 이용하여 TiO2 나노 패턴을 제작하였다. 그 결과를 주사전사 현미경(SEM)으로 확인한 결과 임프린트 스탬프와 동일한 나노 패턴이 질화물 계 발광다이오드 투명 전극층 표면에 주기적으로 형성되었다. TiO2 나노 패턴 형성을 통한 광추출 효율의 향상 효과를 확인하기 위해 Electroluminescence (EL) 측정한 결과 TiO2 나노 패턴이 형성된 발광다이오드 소자의 EL 강도가 나노 패턴이 없는 발광다이오드와 비교하여 12% 정도 향상 되었음을 보였고, 이는 고 굴절율 나노 패턴이 활성층에서 발생된 빛의 산란 효과를 유도하여 빛의 내부 전반사를 감소시킨 결과로 해석된다. 또한 소자의 전기적 특성평가를 위한 I-V 측정결과, TiO2 나노 패턴이 형성된 발광 다이오드의 전기적 성질이 저하되지 않았음을 확인하였다.
