  • We have investigated the channel protection layer (PL) effect on the performance of an oxide thin film transistor (TFT) with a staggered top gate ZnO TFT and Al-doped zinc tin oxide (AZTO) TFT. Deposition of an ultra-thin PL on oxide semiconductor films enables TFTs to behave well by protecting the channel from a photo-resist (PR) stripper which removes the depleted surface of the active layer and increases the carrier amount in the channel. In addition, adopting a PL prevents channel contamination from the organic PR and results in high mobility and small subthreshold swings. The PL process plays a critical role in the performance of oxide TFTs. When a plasma process is introduced on the surface of an active layer during the PL process, and as the plasma power is increased, the TFT characteristics degrade, resulting in lower mobility and higher threshold voltage. Therefore, it is very important to form an interface using a minimized plasma process.

  • Despite the recent importance of interdisciplinary convergence research, little has been studied on the detailed experience while conducting convergence research in Korea. To deeper understand challenges and overcoming in convergence research and to suggest an administrative system for it, by analyzing researchers experience and cognition while conducting their actual convergence research, in-depth interviews with 16 full-time faculty members with expertise in convergence research and research administration in a university and analyzed the interviews by using the paradigm model of grounded theory. The results show that the core phenomenon researchers experienced is that "convergence research is not being effectively conducted," and they experience growth in research through pursuing efforts and improving research atmosphere in various aspects. Based on these findings, we made several suggestions for promoting convergence research.

  • 의료영상은 환자의 질병을 진단하고 치료방침을 결정하는데 중요한 도구로 자리매김하고 있다. 최근 의료영상을 인공지능 연구가 국내외에서 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 대규모의 의료영상들을 학습시켜 질병과 상태를 정밀 진단할 뿐만 아니라 예측하는 소프트웨어를 개발 하는 상황이다. 그러나 의료영상은 DICOM 표준에 따르고 있지만 태그정보의 사용은 의료기기와 의료기관마다 상이하다. 따라서 의료영상에 대한 메타 데이터의 표준화에 어려움이 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 의료영상 데이터를 표준화 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 표준화 데이터로 변환할 수 있는 ETL 소프트웨어의 수행결과를 보이고, 조건에 따라 머신러닝 학습 데이터셋을 생성하는 결과를 제공한다. 향후 제안한 의료영상 표준화와 ETL 소프트웨어는 다양한 수요자 중심의 표준화된 데이터셋을 제공할 수 있는 플랫폼의 주요기능으로 활용 될 것으로 기대한다.

  • In conjunction with securing R&D competitiveness through technology convergence, there is a growing interest in the strategy to derive innovation based on the measurement of convergence. In this paper, we present a data-based model that suggests convergence strategies for the research projects of government research institutes (GRIs) in Korea. The convergence characteristics of the research projects are represented by inherent attributes of technology and behavioral attributes of actors. The measuring process of the proxy variables (Rao-Stirling and Herfindahl-Hirschman Indices) for each attributes are proposed. These two indices are used to construct the convergence diagram, through which the research projects of GRIs are distributed into four areas: AllianceIntra, Alliance-Inter, Competition, Mission-Oriented. Based on the convergence diagram proposed in this study the convergence index is measured to derive 30 convergence research areas of GRIs. As a result, we expect to provide appropriate guidelines for setting the policy direction of the convergence research projects.

  • A novel, maskless, low-volume bumping material, called solder bump maker, which is composed of a resin and low-melting-point solder powder, has been developed. The resin features no distinct chemical reactions preventing the rheological coalescence of the solder, a deoxidation of the oxide layer on the solder powder for wetting on the pad at the solder melting point, and no major weight loss caused by out-gassing. With these characteristics, the solder was successfully wetted onto a metal pad and formed a uniform solder bump array with pitches of 120 ${\mu}m$ and 150 ${\mu}m$.

  • Plasma 물성 데이터는 Plasma내에서 일어나는 입자(전자, 원자, 이온, 분자 등)들의 충돌에 대한 데이터로써 Plasma 발생 장치 설계 및 제어의 핵심 요소이며, Plasma 공정조건 확립을 위한 필수 정보가 된다. 참조표준은 과학기술데이터나 정보에 대하여 정확도와 신뢰도에 대한 분석 및 평가가 이루어진 공인데이터를 말한다. 이러한 플라즈마 물성 정보를 체계적으로 관리하고 신뢰성 있는 데이터를 필요로 하는 산업체에 지원하기 위하여 특정 참조표준과 참조데이터로 제정, 보급하는 Plasma 물성 참조표준 수집평가 시스템이 필요하고, 이에 대한 설계가 필요하다.
