  • The Si-SiO$_2$interface trap and nitride bulk trap distribution of SONOSFET(polysilicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor) NVSM (nonvolatile semiconductor memory) cell is investigated by single junction charge pumping method. The device was fabricated by 0.35㎛ standard logic fabrication process including the ONO stack dielectrics. The thickness of ONO dielectricis are 24$\AA$ for tunnel oxide, 74 $\AA$ for nitride and 25 $\AA$ for blocking oxide, respectively. By the use of single junction charge pumping method, the lateral profiles of both interface and memory traps can be calculated directly from experimental charge pumping results without complex numerical simulation. The interface traps were almost uniformly distributed over the whole channel region and its maximum value was 7.97$\times$10$\^$10/㎠. The memory traps were uniformly distributed in the nitride layer and its maximum value was 1.04$\times$10$\^$19/㎤. The degradation characteristics of SONOSFET with write/erase cycling also were investigated.

  • The Spin-dependent tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect was observed in $NiFe/Al_2O_3$/Co thin films. The samples were prepared by magnetron sputtering in a system with a base pressure of $3\times10^{-6}$Torr. the insulating $Al_2O_3$layer was prepared by r.f. plasma oxydation method of a metallic Al layer. The ferromagnetic and insulating layers were deposited through metallic masks to produce the cross pattern form. The junction has an active area of $0.3\times0.3\textrm{mm}^2$ and the $Al_2O_3$layer is deposited through a circular mask with a diameter of 1mm. It is very important that insulating layer is formed very thinly and uniformly in tunneling junction. The ferromagnetic layer was fabricated in optimum conditions and the surface of that was very flat, which was observed by AFM. Tunneling junction was confirmed through nonlinear I-V curve. $NiFe/Al_2O_3$/Co junction was observed for magnetization behavior and magnetoresistance property and magnetoresistance property is dependent on magnetization behavior and magnetoresistance property and magnetoresistance property is dependent on magnetization behavior of t재 ferromagnetic layer. The maximum magnetoresistance ratio was about 6.5%.

  • Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ)는 비휘발성 소자로서 그간 기억소자분야에 국한되어왔으나, 최근 다양한 연구들에 의하여 자기논리 (magneto-logic) 회로에 사용되면서 기존 트랜지스터 기반의 논리연산자를 대체할 수 있는 가능성을 보이고 있으며, 논리회로까지 확장 적용되어 스핀전자공학 분야의 새로운 장을 열 것으로 기대되어지고 있다. 자체 저장 능력을 갖는 MTJ 소자로 구현된 자기논리 회로는 전원이 꺼져도 정보가 그대로 유지되고, 또한, 불 (Boolean) 연산 수행 시 단순한 입력변화만으로 다양한 논리 연산자 구현이 가능한 구조적인 유연성을 보이므로, 물리적으로 완성된 회로 내에서 얼마든지 재구성이 가능한 자기논리 회로를 구현할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 단순한 조합논리나 순차논리 회로의 동작을 넘어서, 임의의 3비트 논리회로 동작을 모두 수행할 수 있는 자기논리 회로를 제안한다. 이를 위해 3비트 논리회로 중에서 최대의 복잡성을 갖는 논리회로를 MTJ 소자를 사용하여 설계하였고, 그 동작을 이전 논문에서 제안된 바 있는 macro-model을 보완 적용하여 검증하였다. 제안된 회로는 3비트로 구현할 수 있는 가장 복잡한 논리회로의 동작을 수행할 뿐만 아니라, 전류구동회로의 게이트 신호들을 변화시킴으로써 임의의 3비트 논리 회로의 동작을 모두 수행하는 것이 가능하다.

  • We studied the nonequilibrium superconductivity due to tunnel injection of polaronic quasiparticle (QP) from organic photoconductor. The transport properties of an organic copper (II) phthalocyanine (Cu -Pc)/d-wave superconductor were investigated in dark and under ultraviolet (UV) radiation for performance of a novel $high -T_{c}$ superconducting three terminal device. We observed that the injection of polaronic QP from the organic Cu -Pc film into the $Bi_2$S $r_2$$CaCuO_{8+{\delta}}$ film generated a substantially larger nonequilibrium effect as compared to the normal QP injection current. We could increase the current gain by UV excitation of the organic photoconductor injector. The tunneling spectroscopy of a Cu -Pc/BSCCO junction exhibited a small enhancement of the zero bias conductance peak under the W excitation. The above phenomena are of importance in developing optically controlled three terminal superconducting device.e.

  • 스텔스 무인전투기 형상 주위 유동장의 수동에서의 흐름가시화 시험을 통한 기본 공력 특성 파악 연구가 수행되었다. 시험은 자유류 속도 12.7 cm/sec와 평균시위 기준 레이놀즈수 $1.4{\times}10^4$에서 수행되었다. 물감을 사용하여 가시화된 와류의 생성 및 붕괴 현상은 앞서 수행된 힘과 모멘트 측정 결과와 비교되었다. 시험 결과 낮은 받음각에서는 동체와 날개 junction 와류가 큰 영향을 주지만, 높은 받음각 영역에서는 전방동체 와류 거동이 공력에 지배적인 영향을 줌을 확인하였다.

  • a-Si:H/${\mu}$c-Si:H 적층형 태양전지의 효율향상을 위해 상부전지와 하부전지간의 접합특성은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는, 접합특성을 향상하기 위하여 아몰퍼스 보다 전도도가 높은 마이크로화된 n층 또는 ZnO:Al을 중간층으로 삽입한 태양전지를 제조하였으며, 그 특성을 전기적, 광학적 방법으로 분석하였다. 전기적 특성에서, 상부전지 n층에 아몰퍼스를 적용한 태양전지의 경우, 상부전지와 하부전지 간의 직렬저항이 $500{\Omega}-cm^2$ 이상으로 높게 측정되었고, 이에 따라 AM 1.5 상태의 I-V 특성에서 비틀림 현상이 발생하여 곡선인자(Fill Factor : FF)가 낮게 측정되었다. 이에 반하여, 상부전지 n층에 마이크로층을 적용하거나, ZnO:Al 중간층을 삽입한 시편의 경우, 상부전지와 하부전지간의 직렬저항이 $1{\Omega}-cm^2$ 이하로 감소하였으며, 이와 같은 계면간의 접합특성 향상으로 I-V특성에서 비틀림 현상이 사라지고, FF가 70% 까지 증가하였다. 또한, 마이크로층과 ZnO:Al 중간층을 동시에 적용한 태양전지의 경우, FF가 75%까지 가장 높게 증가하였다. 광학적 특성의 경우, 같은 두께의 아몰퍼스 n층에 비하여 마이크로 n층이 투과도는 더 높게, 반사도는 낮게 측정되었으며, 이는 하부전지의 단락전류 (Short circuit current : Jsc)를 높여줄 것으로 판단된다.

  • The discoveries of antiferromagnetic coupling in Fe/Cr multilayers by Grunberg, the Giant Magneto Resistance by Fert and Grunberg and a large tunneling magnetoresistance at room temperature by Moodera have triggered enormous research on magnetic thin films and magnetoelectronic devices. Large opportunities are especially opened by the spin dependent tunneling resistance, where a strong dependence of the tunneling current on an external magnetic field can be found. We will briefly address important basic properties of these junctions like thermal, magnetic and dielectric stability and discuss scaling issues down to junction sizes below 0.01 $\mu\textrm{m}$$^2$with respect to single domain behavior, switching properties and edge coupling effects. The second part will give an overview on applications beyond the use of the tunneling elements as storage cells in MRAMs. This concerns mainly field programmable logic circuits, where we demonstrate the clocked operation of a programmed AND gate. The second 'unconventional' feature is the use as sensing elements in DNA or protein biochips, where molecules marked magnetically with commercial beads can be detected via the dipole stray field in a highly sensitive and relatively simple way.

  • Co/$Al_O_3$/NiFe and CO/$Al_O_3$/Co tunnel junctions were fabricated by a radio frequency magnetron sputtering at room temperature with hard mask on glass and $4^{\circ}$ tilt cut Si (111) substrates. The barrier layer was formed through two steps. After the Al layer was deposited, it was oxidized in the chamber of a reactive ion etching system (RIE) with $O_2$plasma at various conditions. The dependence of the TMR value and junction resistance on the thickness of Al layer (before oxidation) and oxidation parameters were investigated. Magnetoresistance value of 7% at room temperature was obtained by optimizing the Al layer thickness and oxidation conditions. Circular shape junctions on $4^{\circ}$tilt cut Si (111) substrate showed 4% magnetoresistance. Photovoltaic energy conversion effect was observed with the cross-strip geometry junctions on Si substrate.

  • Tunnel magnetoresistive devices using an individual multi-walled carbon nanotube were fabricated and their low-temperature electrical transport propertiers were investigated. With the ferromagnetic Co electrodes, the multi-walled carbon nanotube exhibited hysteretic magnetoresistance curve at low temperatures. Depending on the temperature and the bias current, the magnetoresistance ratio can be as high as 16% at the temperature of 2.2 K. Such high magnetoresistance ratio indicates a long diffusion length of the multi-walled carbon nanotube.
