In this paper, we are proposing an optimal design of wideband pulsed type gamma-ray sensors. These sensors were manufactured based on the design results and after word electrical properties were analyzed. The sensor input parameters were derived on the basis of pulsed gamma-ray spectrum and time-dependent energy rate, and the output current which were derived on the basis of the sensor sensitivity control circuit. Pulsed gamma-ray sensors were designed using the TCAD simulators. The design results show that the optimal Epi layer thickness is 45um with the applied voltage 3.3V and the diameter is 2.0mm. The doping concentrations are as follows : N-type is an Arsenic as $1{\times}10^{19}/cm^3$, P-type is a Boron as $1{\times}10^{19}/cm^3$ and Epi layer is Phosphorus as $3.4{\times}10^{12}/cm^3$. The fabricated sensor was a leakage current, 12pA at voltage -3.3V and fully depleted mode at voltage -5V. A test result of pulsed radiation shows that the sensor gives out the optimal photocurrent.

Sol-gel method which provides better electrochemical and physiochemical properties compared to the solid-state method was used to synthesize the material of $LiFe_yMn_{2-y}O_4$. Fe was substituted to increase the structural stability so that the effects of the substitution amount and sintering temperature were analyzed. XRD was used for the structural analysis of produced material, which in turn, showed the same cubic spinel structure as $LiMn_2O_4$ despite the substitution of $Fe^{3+}$. During the synthesis of $LiFe_yMn_{2-y}O_4$, as the sintering temperature and the doping amount of Fe(y=0.05, 0.1, 0.2)were increased, grain growth proceeded which in turn, showed a high crystalline and a large grain size, certain morphology with narrow specific surface area and large pore volume distribution was observed. In order to examine the ability for the practical use of the battery, charge-discharge tests were undertaken. When the substitution amount of $Fe^{3+}\;into\;LiMn_2O_4$ increased, the initial discharge capacity showed a tendency to decrease within the region of $3.0\~4.2V$ but when charge-discharge processes were repeated, other capacity maintenance properties turned out to be outstanding. In addition, when the sintering temperature was $800\~850^{\circ}C$, the initial capacity was small but showed very stable cycle performance. According to EVS(electrochemical voltage spectroscopy) test, $LiFe_yMn_{2-y}O_4(y=0,\;0.05,\;0.1,\;0.2)$ showed two plateau region and the typical peaks of manganese spinel structure when the substitution amount of $Fe^{3+}$ increased, the peak value at about 4.15V during the charge-discharge process showed a tendency to decrease. From the previous results, the local distortion due to the biphase within the region near 4.15V during the lithium extraction gave a phase transition to a more suitable single phase. When the transition was derived, the discharge capacity decreased. However the cycle performance showed an outstanding result.

Vanadium pentoxide xerogels with a doping ratio of $Al/V_2O_5$ ranging from 0.01 to 0.05 were synthesized by doping Al into $V_2O_5$ xerogel via the sol-gel process. By using the synthesized $Al_xV_2O_5$, the $Li/Al_xV_2O_5$ cells were assembled to investigate the chemical and electrochemical properties. Surface morphology of the $Al_xV_2O_5$ xerogel showed an anisotropic corrugated sheet-like matrix, and the interlayer distance was about $11.5{\AA}$. The IR spectra of the $Al_xV_2O_5$ revealed that the doped Al was coordinated to the vanadyl group in $V_2O_5$. The $Al_xV_2O_5$ xerogels showed enhanced reversibility and energy density compared with the $V_2O_5$ xerogel. The specific capacity of the $Al_{0.05}V_2O_5$ xerogel was more than 200 mAh/g at 10 mA/g discharge rate, and cycle efficiency was about 90% after the 31st cycling test between 1.9 V and 3.9 V.

투명전극은 디스플레이, 터치스크린, 태양전지 등 폭넓은 분야에서 응용되고 있어 현재 각광 받는 연구 주제 중 하나이다. 특히, ITO(인듐산화물)을 이용한 투명전극은 뛰어난 효율성 때문에 가장 주목 받고 있는 전극 형태 중 하나이다. 그러나 ITO투명전극은 인듐 소재의 희소성으로 인한 자원고갈문제 및 복원력, 투명도 등에서 취약점을 지니고 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. 이러한 ITO 투명전극의 취약점을 보완하고, 동시에 플렉서블 디스플레이(Flexible Display) 소자에 적용 가능한 대체 투명전극에 관한 연구는 현재 가장 주목할 만한 가치가 있는 연구분야로 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대체 투명전극 중 하나로 그래핀 투명전극(Graphene Transparent Electrode)을 주목했다. PEN(Polyethylene Naphthalate) 투명기판 상에 Wet-Transfer형식으로 그래핀을 전사하여 그래핀 투명전극을 구현했으며, 복원력 확인을 위해 그래핀에 2가지 (Compressive/Tensile) 압력을 가하며 구부러짐 실험(Bending Test)을 진행하며 그래핀 투명전극의 저항값을 측정했다. 일반 금속전극의 경우, 일정한 수준 이상의 압력 또는 구부러짐이 반복되는 실험의 횟수가 증가되면 원래의 복원력을 상실하며, 저항값이 상승하는 것으로 보고된바 있다. 그러나 이번 연구에서는 그래핀 투명전극을 사용해 PEN 기판 위에 투명전극을 제작한 경우, 일정한 수준의 구부러짐 반복횟수(~1,000회) 및 구부러짐 정도(~10%) 하에서 저항값이 일정하게 유지됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 별도로, 기존에 알려져 있던 순수 그래핀(Pristine Graphene)의 취약점 중 하나인 높은 저항값을 우려하여 본 연구에서는 그래핀에 도핑을 하고, 그 영향을 분석해 보았다. 그 동안 그래핀 도핑법에 대한 적지않은 연구들이 진행되었으며, 본 연구에서는 TFSA(Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide)라는 물질을 이용한 그래핀 도핑법을 채택했다. 실험 결과, 도핑된 그래핀 투명전극은 위와 같은 수준의 그래핀 본연의 복원력을 유지하면서 저항값은 순수 그래핀 대비 약 70% 정도 낮아짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 그래핀 투명전극이 그래핀 고유의 특성인 높은 투명도와 복원력, 도핑으로 인한 저항값 감소가능성을 확인함으로써, 그래핀 투명전극이 ITO 투명전극의 좋은 대체자가 될 수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

[ $LiCoO_{2}$ ] is the most common cathode electrode materials in Lithium-ion batteries. $LiCo_{0.97}Mg_{0.03}O_2$ was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. We investigated crystal structures, electrical conductivities and electrochemical properties. The crystal structure of $LiCo_{0.97}Mg_{0.03}O_2$ was analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld refinement. The material showed a single phase of a layered structure with the space group R-3m. The lattice parameter(a, c) of $LiCo_{0.97}Mg_{0.03}O_2$ was larger than that of $LiCoO_2$. The electrical conductivity of sintered samples was measured by the Van der Pauw method. The electrical conductivities of $LiCoO_2$ and $LiCo_{0.97}Mg_{0.03}O_2$ were $2.11{\times}10^{-4}\;S/cm$ and $2.41{\times}10^{-1}\;S/cm$ at room temperature, respectively. On the basis of the Hall effect analysis, the increase in electrical conductivities of $LiCo_{0.97}Mg_{0.03}O_2$ is believed due to the increased carrier concentrations, while the carrier mobility was almost invariant. The electrochemical performance was investigated by coin cell test. $LiCo_{0.97}Mg_{0.03}O_2$ showed improved cycling performance as compared with $LiCoO_2$.

In this work, reliable methodology for device design is presented. Based on this method, the underlap length has been optimized for minimizing the gateinduced drain leakage (GIDL) in a 22-nm node 4-terminal (4-T) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) fin-shaped field effect transistor (FinFET) by TCAD simulation. In order to examine the effects of underlap length on GIDL more realistically, doping profile of the source and drain (S/D) junctions, carrier lifetimes, and the parameters for a band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) model have been experimentally extracted from the devices of 90-nm channel length as well as pnjunction test element groups (TEGs). It was confirmed that the underlap length should be near 15 nm to suppress GIDL effectively for reliable low standby power (LSTP) operation.
