MOSFET with deuterium-incorporated gate oxide shows enhanced reliability compared to conventional MOSFET. We present an alternative process whereby deuterium is delivered to the location where the gate oxide reside by an implantation process. Deuterium ions were implanted using two different energies to account for the topography of the overlaying layers and placing the D peak at the top of gate oxide. A short anneal at forming gas was performed to remove the D-implantation damage. We have observed that deuterium ion implantation into the gate oxide region can successfully remove the interface states and the bulk defects. But the energy and the dose of the deuterium implant need to be optimized to maintain the Si substrates dopant activation, while generating deuterium bonds inside gate oxide. CV and IV characteristics studies also determined that the deuterium implant dose not degrade the transistor performance.

The self diffusion distributions of viscoelastic molten polyurethanes were determined from the relationship between the relaxation spectra and the distribution of self diffusion. The relaxation spectra of ester, PCL and PCL dyed type molten polyurethanes were obtained by applying the experimental stress relaxation curves to the theoretical equation of the Ree-Eyring and Maxwell non-Newtonian model(REM model) from computer calculation. The experiments were carried out at various temperatures using the physica rheometer with the temperature controller. The self diffusion and hole distance of amorphous region of polyurethane samples were investigated by experiments of stress relaxation. The diffusion coefficients and hole volumes were calculated from rheological parameters and crystallite size in order to study the diffusion of flow segments in amorphous region. It was observed that the relaxation spectra and self diffusions of these polymer samples are directly related to the distribution of molecular weights, viscosities, hole volumes and activation energies of flow segments.

The adsorption and decomposition of trimethylene oxide ($C_3H_6O$) molecule on the Al(111) surface were investigated by the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of density functional theory (DFT). The calculations employed a supercell ($6{\times}6{\times}3$) slab model and three-dimensional periodic boundary conditions. The strong attractive forces between $C_3H_6O$ molecule and Al atoms induce the C-O bond breaking of the ring $C_3H_6O$ molecule. Subsequently, the dissociated radical fragments of $C_3H_6O$ molecule oxidize the Al surface. The largest adsorption energy is about -260.0 kJ/mol in V3, V4 and P2, resulting a ring break at the C-O bond. We also investigated the decomposition mechanism of $C_3H_6O$ molecules on the Al(111) surface. The activation energies ($E_a$) for the dissociations V3, V4 and P2 are 133.3, 166.8 and 174.0 kJ/mol, respectively. The hcp site is the most reactive position for $C_3H_6O$ decomposing.

Electromigration of Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu solder bumps was investigated with current densities of $3{\~}4{\times}10^4 A/cm^2$ at temperatures of $130{\~}160^{\circ}C$ using flip chip specimens which consisted of upper Si chip and lower Si substrate. Electromigration failure of the Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu solder bump occurred with complete consumption of Cu UBM and void formation at cathode side of the solder bump. The activation energies for electromigration of the Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu solder bump were measured as 0.61 eV at current density of $3{\times}10^4 A/cm^2$, 0.63 eV at $3.5{\times}10^4 A/cm^2$, and 0.77 eV at $4{\times}10^4 A/cm^2$, respectively.

The composition of the base glass was determined to be $Na_2O$ 15, $Fe_2O_3$ 35, $B_2O_3$ 0~20, $P_2O_5$ 30~50 by mole percent. The heating temperature for nucleation was determined by means of thermal expansion curve. Crystalline phases were investigated by X-ray diffraction method and I.R Spectra. Electrical conductivities of glass spec-imens were observed in the temperature range 25~20$0^{\circ}C$ The activation energies of these specimens were caculated. The results obtained were as follows : 1) The limit composition of the melts 15mol% $Na_2O$ 35mole% $Fe_2O_5$ 20mole% $B_2O_3$ 30mole% $P_2O_5$ was able to be formed into desired shapes during cooling, . 2) In the measurement of d. c conductivity($\delta$) on the glasses in the system $15Na_2O-35Fe_2O_3$-$B_2O_3$-(50-x) $P_2O_5$ the values decreased by replacing 5 mole% $P_2O_5$ with $B_2O_3$ 3) The d. c conducties of heat treated samples were increased by replacing $P_2O_5$ with $B_2O_3$ 4) $B_2O_3$ contributed to precipitate crystals such as${\gamma}$-$Fe_2O_3$ $Fe_3O_4$ which had the advantage of electronic conduction in heat treated samples. 5) The slope plotted Log($\delta$) versus 1/T in this glass system was linear in the measured temperature range.

Glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3) of Aspergillus sp. isolated from soil was partially purified by Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration and DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange chromatography, The glucoamylase activity was separated into two isozymes after DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange chromatrography. The optimum pH and temperature for both glucoamylase isozymes (GI, GII) were identical; pH 4.5 and temperature, $65^{\circ}C$. The molecular weights of GI and GII Isozymes were estimated to be 105,000, which were measured by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200. Both isozymes were stable at pH ranges of 2 to 7, and up to 6$0^{\circ}C$. Glycerol was effective to stabilize the both isozymes. The activation energies of GI and GII isozymes were 10.63 and 10.33 kcal/mole, respectively. The enzyme activities of both isozymes were completely inactivated by addition of 0.1% Hg$^{++}$. In kinetic studies, the Km values of GI isozyme for soluble starch, dextrin, and glycogen were 0.62%, 0.32%, and 1.02%, respectively. For GII isozyme, they became 0.66%, 0.23%. and 0.14% for the substrates.

Lysine is known as a limiting amino acid in barley and easily inactivated by the browning reaction during processing or storage. The barley powders ground to 120 mesh in particle size were controlled at water activity of 0.44, 0.52, 0.65 and 0.75 by using saturated salt solutions and then stored at 35, 45 $55^{\circ}C$. Another portion of the sample of which the water activities were controlled as same above was stored at 35, 45, and $55^{\circ}C$ alternately with 7days interval. The reaction of available lysine loss in barley powders was found to be first order. The activation energies calculated from Arrhenius plot ranged $6.02{\sim}10.32Kcal/mole$, and $Q_10$ values were between 1.34 and 1.65. These kinetic parameters were used to predict the available lysine loss of barley powders under the fluctuating temperature storage The predicted shelf-life at various water activities tested was a little higher than the actual values.

TiO$_2$ thin films have been grown by MOCVD. Envelope methods are applied to the analysis of the transmission spectra to obtain the optical constants such as refractive indices and extinction coefficients for the TiO$_2$ thin films. The envelope methods are proved to be accurate by simulating the transmission spectra. TiO$_2$ thin films start to crystallize at 35$0^{\circ}C$ and then crystallize fully into anatase phase at foot or higher temperatures. Activation energies are obtained by plotting the deposition rate with varying the substrate temperature. It is 17.8 kcal/mol for the reaction limited regions. The refractive infer and the extinction coefficient of the TiO$_2$ thin film at λ=632.8 nm increases from 2.19 to 2.32 and decreases from 0.021 to 0.007, respectively, as the substrate temperature increases from 400 to $600^{\circ}C$.

An optimum route to fabricate a hybrid-structured W powder composed of nano and micro size powders was investigated. The mixture of nano and micro W powders was prepared by a ball milling and hydrogen reduction process for $WO_3$ and W powders. Microstructural observation for the ball-milled powder mixtures revealed that the nano-sized $WO_3$ particles were homogeneously distributed on the surface of large W powders. The reduction behavior of $WO_3$ powder was analyzed by a temperature programmed reduction method with different heating rates in Ar-10% $H_2$ atmosphere. The activation energies for the reduction of $WO_3$, estimated by the slope of the Kissinger plot from the amount of reaction peak shift with heating rates, were measured as 117.4 kJ/mol and 94.6 kJ/mol depending on reduction steps from $WO_3$ to $WO_2$ and from $WO_2$ to W, respectively. SEM and XRD analysis for the hydrogen-reduced powder mixture showed that the nano-sized W particles were well distributed on the surface of the micro-sized W powders.

Poly(butylene terephthalate- co-oxybenzoate)(PBOT) containing mesogenic oxybenzoate units in the main chain was synthesized through ester exchange reaction by melt mixing of poly(butylene terephthalate)(PBT) and p-acetoxybenzoic acid (ABA). From the kinetics of the copolymerization reaction, the activation energies and the rate constants of homopolymerization and copolymerization, k$_{h}$ and k$_{c}$, could be determined. From the reaction conditions of different compositions, 4/6, 5/5, and 6/4 of PBT/ABA, at 250, 260, and 27$0^{\circ}C$, it was revealed that copolymerization between PBT and ABA proceeds on a pseudo-second order reaction if the ABA content and its conversion are low. In this case, the ratio of rate constants of homopolymerization to copolymerization was in the range from 1.08 to 3.17, indicating that the copolymer with more notable block character was obtained at the higher mole fraction of ABA and at higher temperature.e.e.
