FIB (Focused ion Beam) milling on a 500-nm-thick silicon nitride membrane was studied in order to fabricate a high-resolution shadow mask, or called a nanostencil. The silicon nitride membrane was fabricated by MEMS processes of LPCVD, photolithography, ICP etching and bulk silicon etching. The apertures made by FIB milling and normal photolithography were compared. The square metal pattern deposited through FIB milled shadow mask showed 6 times smaller comer radius than the case of photolithography. The results show high resolution patterning could be achieved by local deposition through FIB milled shadow-mask.

We present recent results on ablation mechanism, single-pulse laser micropatterning , pulsed-laser deposition(PLD) and particulates formation accompanying laser ablation, with special emplasis on polymers, in particular polymide, (PI), and polytetrafluoroethylene, (PTFE). Ablation of polymers is described on the basis of photothermal bond breaking within the bulk material. Here, we assume a first order chemical reaction, which can be described by an Arrhenius law. Ablation starts when the density of broken bonds at the surface reaches a certain critical value. Single-pulse laser ablation of polyimide shows a clear-length dependence of the threshold fluence. This experimental result strongly supports a thermal ablation model. We discuss the various possibilities and drawbacks of PLD and describe the morphology, physical properties and applications of PTFE films.

Among elemental metals, niobium (Nb) has the highest superconducting transition temperature (T_c) at ambient pressure. Thus, Nb films have been used in superconducting electronics and radio frequency cavity applications. In this study, the depositional factors determining the crystallinity and T_c of Nb films were investigated. An Nb film grown at a sputtering temperature of 240℃ exhibited the maximum crystallinity of Nb and the minimum crystallinity of niobium oxide. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed a maximum atomic percent of niobium and a minimum atomic percent of oxygen. A sputtering power of 210 W and a sputtering time of 50 min were the optimal conditions for Nb deposition, and the T_c of the optimized film (9.08 K) was close to that of bulk Nb (9.25 K). Transmission electron microscopy images of the thick film directly confirmed the removal of the typical in-plane compressive strain in the (110) plane caused by residual stress.

The materials used for 3D printing are mainly plastic and metal. These materials are usually used in the powdered form. In order to improve the surface roughness of a manufactured product, these powders should consist of small uniform spherical particles. However, the powdered forms are sold at a considerably higher price than bulk or wired materials. When a wire-type material is used instead of a powder, we can supply a relatively large amount of the material at one time as well as reduce the cost. Moreover, the use of this form of the material will increase the process efficiency. This paper deals with the technology required to feed a wire material in front of the tool movement and discusses the examples used for the verification.

Two-dimensional materials have shown a great promise for the next-generation electronic materials due to their unique optical, physical, and chemical properties that are distinct from their bulk counterparts. Their atomic-level thickness, the feature for flexible tenability, and exposed huge surface allow various approaches for high-performance nanoscale devices. Especially, this review highlights the recent progress on two-dimensional dielectric nanosheets, which are obtained by cheap and massproducible solution-based exfoliation process, accompanied by the preparation methods, various deposition methods, and the characteristics of devices using a dielectric nanosheet thin films. We also present a perspective on the advantages offered by this two-dimensional dielectric nanosheets for the upcoming future nanoelectonics.

In order to understand the precipitation acidity and chemical composition of ion species in Iksan area as well as to know the difference of chemical characteristics in precipitation samples from the viewpoint of precipitation sampling method, precipitation samples were collected by wet-only automatic precipitation sampler and bulk manual precipitation sampler in Iksan, from March 2003 to August 2003. The mean pH of precipitation was 5.0. There was a little significant difference in the mean value of pH between automatic and manual sampler. However, pH values of some precipitation samples were lower in automatic sampler than in manual sampler, especially in case of precipitation samples with small rainfall for March 2003. The mean concentrations of each ions in precipitation were generally a little higher in precipitation samples collected by the manual sampler than in those collected by the automatic sampler because of accumulation of dry deposition on the surface of glass funnel installed at the manual sampler during the sampling period or no rainfall. Dominant species determining the acidity of precipitation, were N $H_4$$^{[-10]}$ and nss-C $a^{2+}$ for cations and nss-S $O_4$$^{2-}$ and N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ for anions. The mean concentration of N $H_4$$^{+}$ and nss-C $a^{2+}$ were 31 $\mu$eq/L and 9 $\mu$eq/L for the automatic sampler and 40 ueq/L and 16 ueq/L for the manual sampler, respectively. In addition, nss-S $O_4$$^{2-}$ and N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ were 27 $\mu$eq/L and 13 $\mu$eq/L for the automatic sampler and 32 $\mu$eq/L and 17 $\mu$eq/L for the manual sampler, respectively. Although the concentrations of the acidifying ions of nss-S $O_4$$^{2-}$ and N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ were about 3 times higher than those for foreign pristine sites, precipitation acidity were estimated to be natural due to the neutralization reaction of the alkaline species of N $H_4$$^{+}$ and nss-C $a^{2+}$ with its higher concentrations. Considering the ratios of nss-S $O_4$$^{2-}$/N $O_4$$^{[-10]}$ nss-S $O_4$$^{2-}$, it was found that ammonium sulphate was dominant in Iksan precipitation. The major non-sea salt ions were maximum concentrations for March, but decreased with increasing of precipitation amount.on amount.

ALD (atomic layer deposition)법을 이용하여 두께를 달리한 $10{\sim}50nm-TiO_{2-x}/quartz$ 구조의 UV 기능성 박막을 형성시켰다. 박막의 두께는 우선 $10nm-TiO_{2-x}$를 성막한 후 엘립소미터로 두께를 확인하였고 나머지 두께는 증착시간을 선형적으로 조절하여 완성하였다. $TiO_2$ 박막 두께에 따른 생성상과 파장대별 흡수도, 가시광선의 투과율을 각각 X선 회절기, UV-VIS-IR 분석기, 접사용 디지털 카메라를 써서 확인하였다. ALD 법으로 제조된 $TiO_{2-x}$는 벌크 $TiO_2$에 비해 비정질 (amorphous)이면서 비정량적인 $TiO_{2-x}$ 형태임을 확인하였다. 380 nm와 415 nm의 흡수단을 보여 $3.0{\sim}3.2eV$의 밴드갭을 가지는 기존의 벌크 $TiO_2$와는 달리, 제작된 $TiO_{2-x}$ 박막은 197 nm와 250 nm의 부근에서 흡수단을 보이는 특징이 있었다. 따라서 장파장대의 자외선을 차단하는 기능을 가진 기존의 벌크 $TiO_2$와는 달리 ALD로 제작된 나노급 $TiO_2$는 단파장대의 자외선을 흡수할 수 있는 기능성이 있었고, 아울러 가시광선대에서 우수한 투과도를 보였다. 새로이 제안된 ALD를 이용한 나노급 $TiO_{2-x}$ 박막은 가시광선의 투과도는 향상시키면서 단파장대의 자외선을 효과적으로 흡수하는 기능성을 가졌음을 확인하였다.

SrTiO₃ (STO) 기판 위에 성장된 LaAlO₃ (LAO) 계면에서의 이차원 전자 가스 (2DEG)의 발견은 복합 산화물 이종 구조를 기반으로 한 혁신적인 전자소자 연구의 장을 제공함으로써 많은 관심을 받아왔다. 하지만 LAO 박막을 형성하기 위하여, 일반적으로 물리기상증착법(PVD)을 기반으로 하는 펄스 레이저 증착 (PLD) 등의 기법이 주로 사용되어 왔으나, 공정 비용이 많이 들며 LAO 내 La와 Al의 정밀한 조성 제어가 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 PVD에 비해 경제적인 대안인 용액 기반 공정을 사용하여 LAO 박막을 제조하였고, 그 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. LAO 전구체 용액의 농도를 다르게 하여 LAO의 두께를 2에서 65 nm까지 변화시켰으며, 각 두께에 따른 면저항 및 캐리어 농도를 도출하였다. 진공 열처리 후 형성된 전도성 채널의 면저항 값은 0.015에서 0.020 Ω·sq^-1 범위로 나타났으며, 이러한 결과는 기존 문헌과 비교하였을 때 LAO와 STO 사이의 계면에서의 전자 이동뿐만 아니라 계면으로부터 떨어져 있는 STO bulk 영역으로의 전자 전도를 시사한다. 본 연구 결과는 용액 기반 공정을 통한 2DEG 형성 및 제어를 구현한 것으로, 공정 비용을 줄이고 전자 소자 제조에서 보다 광범위한 응용 가능성을 제시한다는 점에 그 의의가 있다.

HgCdTe Is the most versatile material for the developing infrared devices. Not like III-V compound semiconductors or silicon-based photo-detecting materials, HgCdTe has unique characteristics such as adjustable bandgap, very high electron mobility, and large difference between electron and hole mobilities. Many research groups have been interested in this material since early 70's, but mainly due to its thermodynamic difficulties for preparing materials, no single growth technique is appreciated as a standard growth technique in this research field. Solid state recrystallization(SSR), travelling heater method(THM), and Bridgman growth are major techniques used to grow bulk HgCdTe material. Materials with high quality and purity can be grown using these bulk growth techniques, however, due to the large separation between solidus and liquidus line on the phase diagram, it is very difficult to grow large materials with minimun defects. Various epitaxial growth techniques were adopted to get large area HgCdTe and among them liquid phase epitaxy(LPE), metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD), and molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) are most frequently used techniques. There are also various types of photo-detectors utilizing HgCdTe materials, and photovoltaic and photoconductive devices are most interested types of detectors up to these days. For the larger may detectors, photovoltaic devices have some advantages over power-requiring photoconductive devices. In this paper we reported the main results on the HgCdTe growing and characterization including LPE and MOCVD, device fabrication and its characteristics such as single element and linear array($8{\times}1$ PC, $128{\times}1$ PV and 4120{\times}1$ PC). Also we included the results of the dewar manufacturing, assembling, and optical and environmental test of the detectors.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (MoS2, WS2, WSe2, MoSe2, NbS2, NbSe2, etc.) are layered materials that can exhibit semiconducting, metallic and even superconducting behavior. In the bulk form, the semiconducting phases (MoS2, WS2, WSe2, MoSe2) have an indirect band gap. Recently, these layered systems have attracted a great deal of attention mainly due to their complementary electronic properties when compared to other two-dimensional materials, such as graphene (a semimetal) and boron nitride (an insulator). However, these bulk properties could be significantly modified when the system becomes mono-layered; the indirect band gap becomes direct. Such changes in the band structure when reducing the thickness of a WS2 film have important implications for the development of novel applications, such as valleytronics. In this work, we report for the controlled synthesis of large-area (~cm2) single-, bi-, and few-layer WS2 using a two-step process. WOx thin films were deposited onto a Si/SiO2 substrate, and these films were then sulfurized under vacuum in a second step occurring at high temperatures ($750^{\circ}C$). Furthermore, we have developed an efficient route to transfer these WS2 films onto different substrates, using concentrated HF. WS2 films of different thicknesses have been analyzed by optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.
