  • The plasma damage free and room temperature processedthin film deposition technology is essential for realization of various next generation organic microelectronic devices such as flexible AMOLED display, flexible OLED lighting, and organic photovoltaic cells because characteristics of fragile organic materials in the plasma process and low glass transition temperatures (Tg) of polymer substrate. In case of directly deposition of metal oxide thin films (including transparent conductive oxide (TCO) and amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS)) on the organic layers, plasma damages against to the organic materials is fatal. This damage is believed to be originated mainly from high energy energetic particles during the sputtering process such as negative oxygen ions, reflected neutrals by reflection of plasma background gas at the target surface, sputtered atoms, bulk plasma ions, and secondary electrons. To solve this problem, we developed the NBAS (Neutral Beam Assisted Sputtering) process as a plasma damage free and room temperature processed sputtering technology. As a result, electro-optical properties of NBAS processed ITO thin film showed resistivity of $4.0{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}m$ and high transmittance (>90% at 550 nm) with nano- crystalline structure at room temperature process. Furthermore, in the experiment result of directly deposition of TCO top anode on the inverted structure OLED cell, it is verified that NBAS TCO deposition process does not damages to the underlying organic layers. In case of deposition of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) thin film on the plastic polymer substrate, the room temperature processed sputtering coating of high quality TCO thin film is required. During the sputtering process with higher density plasma, the energetic particles contribute self supplying of activation & crystallization energy without any additional heating and post-annealing and forminga high quality TCO thin film. However, negative oxygen ions which generated from sputteringtarget surface by electron attachment are accelerated to high energy by induced cathode self-bias. Thus the high energy negative oxygen ions can lead to critical physical bombardment damages to forming oxide thin film and this effect does not recover in room temperature process without post thermal annealing. To salve the inherent limitation of plasma sputtering, we have been developed the Magnetic Field Shielded Sputtering (MFSS) process as the high quality oxide thin film deposition process at room temperature. The MFSS process is effectively eliminate or suppress the negative oxygen ions bombardment damage by the plasma limiter which composed permanent magnet array. As a result, electro-optical properties of MFSS processed ITO thin film (resistivity $3.9{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, transmittance 95% at 550 nm) have approachedthose of a high temperature DC magnetron sputtering (DMS) ITO thin film were. Also, AOS (a-IGZO) TFTs fabricated by MFSS process without higher temperature post annealing showed very comparable electrical performance with those by DMS process with $400^{\circ}C$ post annealing. They are important to note that the bombardment of a negative oxygen ion which is accelerated by dc self-bias during rf sputtering could degrade the electrical performance of ITO electrodes and a-IGZO TFTs. Finally, we found that reduction of damage from the high energy negative oxygen ions bombardment drives improvement of crystalline structure in the ITO thin film and suppression of the sub-gab states in a-IGZO semiconductor thin film. For realization of organic flexible electronic devices based on plastic substrates, gas barrier coatings are required to prevent the permeation of water and oxygen because organic materials are highly susceptible to water and oxygen. In particular, high efficiency flexible AMOLEDs needs an extremely low water vapor transition rate (WVTR) of $1{\times}10^{-6}gm^{-2}day^{-1}$. The key factor in high quality inorganic gas barrier formation for achieving the very low WVTR required (under ${\sim}10^{-6}gm^{-2}day^{-1}$) is the suppression of nano-sized defect sites and gas diffusion pathways among the grain boundaries. For formation of high quality single inorganic gas barrier layer, we developed high density nano-structured Al2O3 single gas barrier layer usinga NBAS process. The NBAS process can continuously change crystalline structures from an amorphous phase to a nano- crystalline phase with various grain sizes in a single inorganic thin film. As a result, the water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) of the NBAS processed $Al_2O_3$ gas barrier film have improved order of magnitude compared with that of conventional $Al_2O_3$ layers made by the RF magnetron sputteringprocess under the same sputtering conditions; the WVTR of the NBAS processed $Al_2O_3$ gas barrier film was about $5{\times}10^{-6}g/m^2/day$ by just single layer.

  • Photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems are promising methods of producing H2 gas using solar energy in an aqueous solution. The photoelectrochemical properties of numerous metal oxides have been studied. Among them, the PEC systems based on TiO2 have been extensively studied. However, the drawback of a PEC system with TiO2 is that only ultraviolet (UV) light can be absorbed because of its large band gap (3.2 - 3.4 eV). Two approaches have been introduced in order to use PEC cells in the visible light region. The first method includes doping impurities, such as nitrogen, into TiO2, and this technique has been extensively studied in an attempt to narrow the band gap. In comparison, research on the second method, which includes visible light water splitting in molecular photosystems, has been slow. Mallouk et al. recently developed electrochemical water-splitting cells using the Ru(II) complex as the visible light photosensitizer. the dye-sensitized PEC cell consisted of a dye-sensitized TiO2 layer, a Pt counter electrode, and an aqueous solution between them. Under a visible light (< 3 eV) illumination, only the dye molecule absorbed the light and became excited because TiO2 had the wide band gap. The light absorption of the dye was followed by the transfer of an electron from the excited state (S*) of the dye to the conduction band (CB) of TiO2 and its subsequent transfer to the transparent conducting oxide (TCO). The electrons moved through the wire to the Pt, where the water reduction (or H2 evolution) occurred. The oxidized dye molecules caused the water oxidation because their HOMO level was below the H2O/O2 level. Organic dyes have been developed as metal-free alternatives to the Ru(II) complexes because of their tunable optical and electronic properties and low-cost manufacturing. Recently, organic dye molecules containing multi-branched, multi-anchoring groups have received a great deal of interest. In this work, tri-branched tri-anchoring organic dyes (Dye 2) were designed and applied to visible light water-splitting cells based on dye-sensitized TiO2 electrodes. Dye 2 had a molecular structure containing one donor (D) and three acceptor (A) groups, and each ended with an anchoring functionality. In comparison, mono-anchoring dyes (Dye 1) were also synthesized. The PEC response of the Dye 2-sensitized TiO2 film was much better than the Dye 1-sensitized or unsensitized TiO2 films.

  • Bifacial and semitransparent hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film solar cells in p-i-n configuration were prepared with front and rear transparent conducting oxide (TCO) electrodes using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Fluorine-doped tin oxide and tin-doped indium oxide films were used as front and rear TCO contacts, respectively. Film thickness of intrinsic a-Si:H absorber layers were controlled from 150 nm to 450 nm by changing deposition time. The dependence of performance characteristics of solar cells on the front and rear illumination direction were investigated. For front illumination, gradual increase in the short-circuit current density (JSC) from 10.59 mA/㎠ to 14.19 mA/㎠ was obtained, whereas slight decreases from 0.83 V to 0.81 V for the open-circuit voltage (VOC) and from 68.43% to 65.75% for fill factor (FF) were observed. The average optical transmittance in the wavelength region of 380 ~ 780 nm of the solar cells decreased gradually from 22.76% to 15.67% as the absorber thickness was changed from 150 nm to 450 nm. In case of the solar cells under rear illumination condition, the JSC increased from 10.81 to 12.64 mA/㎠ and the FF deceased from 66.63% to 61.85%, while the VOC values were maintained at 0.80 V with increasing the absorber thickness from 150 nm to 450 nm. By optimizing the deposition parameters, a high-quality bifacial and semitransparent a-Si:H solar cell with 350 nm-thick i-a-Si:H absorber layer exhibited the conversion efficiencies of 7.69% for front illumination and 6.40% for rear illumination, and average visible optical transmittance of 17.20%.

  • 경골어류 등목어과(Belontiidae)에 속하는 three spot gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus Pallas, 1770)의 난자형성과정을 광학 현미경으로 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 난소는 한 쌍으로 흐린 살색의 아가미 쪽은 뾰족하고 생식공 쪽은 둥근 장타원형(장축 2 cm, 단축 1 cm)이었으며 부레와 창자 사이에 위치하고 있었다. 난원세포의 세포질은 호염기성이었고 핵 내에 다수의 인들이 분포하고 있었다. 난원세포의 세포질은 hematoxylin으로 매우 강하게 파란색으로 염색되었고 핵막을 따라서 여러 개의 인들이 분포하고 있었다. 발달함에 따라서 난원 세포의 세포질은 핵 쪽에서 세포막 쪽부터 hematoxylin의 염색 성이 낮아졌고, 제1난모세포는 난세포 세포질의 가장자리인 세포막 쪽에서 국한적으로 유구들이 형성되기 시작하였다. 제1난 모세포가 발달함에 따라서 유구들이 세포의 바깥 가장자리에서 증식되어 증가하기 시작하였고 작은 유구들이 핵막 근처에 집중 되어 형성되기 시작하였다. 제2난모세포는 발생이 진행됨에 따 라서 난막은 두꺼워져 뚜렷하게 관찰되기 시작하였고, 특히 유구 가 세포질 전체로 퍼져나갔다. 세포막 쪽의 유구 사이에 난황포 가 형성되기 시작했으며 난황포는 호산성으로 에오신에 의해서 적색으로 염색되어 관찰되었다. 성숙한 난자는 난자의 크기가 상당히 증가하였으며 난막이 뚜렷하고 핵은 염기성을 띠었다. 또한 난황포는 더욱 발달하여 적색으로 염색된 구형의 난황괴를 이루 고 있었다. 수정란을 광학현미경으로 관찰한 결과 중앙하단에 한 개의 큰 유구가 발견되었다. 이상과 같이 three spot gourami의 난자형성과정은 난세포의 크기 증가, 유구와 난황의 축적, 염기성 물질의 감소 및 큰 유구의 형성으로 요약될 수 있다.

  • CIGS 화합물 반도체 태양전지에서 광흡수층과 상부투명전극 간의 격자부정합을 낮추기 위해 buffer layer로써 CdS 박막이 적용된다. 높은 광투과도와 낮은 비저항을 갖는 CdS 박막을 제조하기 위하여 화학적 용액 증착법에 의해 반응용액 내의 S 용액의 농도를 고정하고 Cd 용액의 농도를 변화시켜 CdS 박막을 제조하여 특성을 조사하였다. $[S^{2-}]/[Cd^{2+}]$ 농도비에 따른 박막의 구조적, 광학적 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. Cd의 농도가 S의 농도보다 높을 경우에는 균일반응이 촉진되어 CdS 결정들이 클러스터 형태로 기판에 흡착되어 결정 크기가 증가하고 광투과율이 감소하였다. 반면, Cd의 농도가 S의 농도보다 낮을 경우에는 용액 내에서 보다 기판위에서 CdS 결정입자가 생성되는 불균일반응에 의해 결정이 생성 및 성장되었고 수백 옹스트롱의 작고 균일한 구형 입자가 생성되었다. Cd 농도가 증가할수록 과잉 Cd가 증가하여 S 공극 생성으로 $[S^{2-}]/[Cd^{2+}]$ 조성비는 감소하였고 CdS 박막의 전하 농도가 증가되어 비저항이 감소되었다.

  • ZnO:Al 박막은 산소 압력을 조절한 두 번의 증착 과정을 이용하여, DC 펄스 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법에 의해 증착되었다. 시드막은 다양한 Ar/$O_2$ 압력비에서 증착되었으며, 벌크막은 순수한 Ar가스를 사용하여 증착되었다. 시드막 증착시 산소 압력이 증가함에 따라, 결정성과 (002) 배향성의 정도는 증가했다. 비저항은 시드가 없는 샘플의 경우 $4.7\times10^4\Omega{\cdot}cm$ cm로부터 Ar/$O_2$ = 9/1 샘플의 경우 $3.7\times10^4\Omega{\cdot}cm$까지, 결정성의 증가와 함께 점차 감소했다. 에칭된 표면은 분화구 형상의 구조를 보여주었으며, 급격한 형상 변화가 결정성 증가와 함께 나타났다. Ar/$O_2$= 9/1 조건의 샘플은 500 nm 에서 88%의 매우 높은 haze 수치를 보여주었으며, 이는 AFM 이미지에서 보여지는 것처럼 큰 표면 구조 크기에 의해 설명된다.

  • When video composes mise-en-scene during the performance, it reflects the aspect of contemporary image culture, where the individual as creator joins in the image culture through the device of cell phone and computer remediating the former video technology. It also closely related with the contemporary theatre culture in which 1960's and 1970's video art was weaved into the contemporary performance theatre. With these cultural background, theatre practitioners regarded media-friendly mise-en-scene as an alternative facing the cultural landscape the linear representational narrative did not correspond to the present culture. Nonetheless, it can not be ignored that video in the performance theatre is remediating its historical function: to criticize the social reality. to enrich the aesthetic or emotional reality. I focused video in the performance theatre could feature the object with the image by realizing the realtime relay, emphasizing the situation within the frame, and strengthening the reality by alluding the object as a gesutre. So I explored its two historical manuel. First, video recorded the spot, communicated the information, and arose the audience's recognition of the object to its critical function. Second, video in performance theatre could redistribute perceptual way according to the editing method like as close up, slow motion, multiple perspective, montage and collage, and transformation of the image to the aesthetic function. Reminding the historical function of video in contemporary performance theatre, I analyzed two shows, Schaubuhne's Hamlet and Lenea de Sombra's Amarillo which were introduced to Korean audiences during the 2010 Seoul Theatre Olympics. It is known to us that Ostermeir found real social reality as a text and made the play the context. In this, he used video as a vehicle to penetrate the social reality through the hero's perspective. It is also noteworthy that Ostermeir understood Hamlet's dilemma as these days' young generation's propensity. They delayed action while being involved in image culture. Besides his use of video in the piece revitalized the aesthetic function of video by hypermedial perceptual method. Amarillo combined documentary theatre method with installation, physical theatre, and video relay on the spot, and activated aesthetic function with the intermediality, its interacting co-relationship between the media. In this performance theatre, video has recorded and pursued the absent presence of the real people who died or lost in the desert. At the same time it fantasized the emotional aspect of the people at the moment of their death, which would be opaque or non prominent otherwise. As a conclusion, I found the video in contemporary performance theatre visualized the rupture between the media and perform their intermediality. It attempted to disturb the transparent immediacy to invoke the spectator's perception to the theatrical situation, to open its emotional and spiritual aspect, and to remind the realities as with Schaubuhne's Hamlet and Lenea de Sombra's Amarillo.

  • Objective : Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDHs) are generally known to result from traumatic tears of bridging veins. However, the causes of repeat spontaneous cSDHs are still unclear. We investigated the changes in vasculature in the human dura mater and outer membrane (OM) of cSDHs to elucidate the cause of their spontaneous repetition. Methods : The dura mater was obtained from a normal control participant and a patient with repeat spontaneous cSDHs. The pathological samples from the patient included the dura mater and OM tightly adhered to the inner dura. The samples were analyzed with a particular focus on blood and lymphatic vessels by immunohistochemistry, 3-dimensional imaging using a transparent tissue clearing technique, and electron microscopy. Results : The dural border cell (DBC) layer of the dura mater and OM were histologically indistinguishable. There were 5.9 times more blood vessels per unit volume of tissue in the DBC layer and OM in the patient than in the normal control. The DBC layer and OM contained pathological sinusoidal capillaries not observed in the normal tissue; these capillaries were connected to the middle meningeal arteries via penetrating arteries. In addition, marked lymphangiogenesis in the periosteal and meningeal layers was observed in the patient with cSDHs. Conclusion : Neovascularization in the OM seemed to originate from the DBC layer; this is a potential cause of repeat spontaneous cSDHs. Embolization of the meningeal arteries to interrupt the blood supply to pathological capillaries via penetrating arteries may be an effective treatment option.
