An anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), was introduced during the ultrasonication process for exfoliation of graphene. The surfactant plays the roles of exfoliator and stabilizer by binding to the graphene surface. The obtained modified graphene was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and solid state $^{13}C$ CP/MAS NMR to analyze the binding between molecules, and by X-ray diffraction (XRD) to characterize the bulk structure. The resulting graphene exhibited good dispersion stability in both water and organic solvents.

In this study, we successfully prepared CNT/$TiO_2$, Pt/CNT and Pt/CNT/$TiO_2$ composites and investigated their photocatalytic activity in MB solution by irradiation under UV light. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used to characterize the functional group on the surface of MWCNTs, which oxidized by MCPBA. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) were used to analyze the prepared composites. The results of the decomposition of the MB solution indicated that the Pt/CNT/$TiO_2$ composite had the best photocatalytic activity among the three kinds of composites.

We have deposited hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon (DLC) films by pulsed laser deposition of graphite. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) can be utilized to generate films with desired properties quite different from those of the starting material. Since DLC films grown by PLD using turbo pump are perpared without hydrogen, they have a higher density and a higher index of refraction than the hydrogenated DLC films. In this study, effects of the substrate temperature and laser energy density on the properties of DLC films were systematically investigated. The structure and properties of the films have been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy.

In this paper, the effect of thermal annealing on surface acoustic wave (SAW) properties of aluminum nitride (AlN) films were described. The films were fabricated on Si substrates by using Pulsed Reactive Magnetron Sputtering System. The SAW properties of $600^{\circ}C$-annealed AlN films were better than those of both $900^{\circ}C$-annealed AlN films and as-deposited ones. Their SAW velocities (Raleigh mode) and insertion losses were about 5212 m/s and 16.19 dB at $600^{\circ}C$ with the wavelength of $40{\mu}m$. The dependence of characteristics of AlN films on annealing conditions were also evaluated by using Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) Spectrums and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).

Thin films of polyamic acid(PAA) were fabricated by vapor deposition polymerization(VDP) from pyromellitic dianhydride(PMDA) and 4,4'-diamino diphenyl ether(DDE). Thin films of polyimide(PI) were obtained by curing PAA, and their dielectric properties have been measured. The uniform thin films of PI formed by curing PAA at 300 .deg. C for 1 hr. which was confirmed by Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) absorption at 720, 1380, 1780c $m_{-1}$. Relative permittivity and tan .delta. were 3.9 and 0.008 at 10kHz, respectively. (author). 8 refs., 11 figs., 1 tab.1 tab.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the fabrication of P(VDF-TrFE) organic thin films through the vapor deposition method and the piezoelectric properties of the organic thin films thus produced. Vapor deposition was performed under the following conditions: the working temperature, and the pressure of reaction chamber were $300^{\circ}C$, and $2.0{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr, respectively. The molecular structure and crystallinity of the evaporated organic thin films were evaluated by using a FT-IR (Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy) and XRD (X-ray diffractometry), The results showed that crystallinity increased with an increase in the substrate temperature. When the P(VDF-TrFE) organic thin films were fabricated by increasing the substrate temperature, its piezoelectric coefficient($d_{33}$) increased.

In this study, PVDF thin films which show the excellent piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity, are prepared by PVD (physical vapor deposition) method, and thir electrical conduction phenomena for analyses of the electrical conduction mechanism and TSC (Thermally Stimulated Current) for identification of the behavior of conductive carriers are investigated. As a result of FT-IR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) spectra, the crystalline phase transforms $\alpha$ type into $\beta$ type with increasing electric field. From XRD (X-Ray diffraction) analyses patterns, the degree of crystallinity increases from 49.8% to 67%, as the substrate temperature increases from $30^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$. As a result of electrical conduction phenomena, the electrical conduction mechanism of PVDF thin films is identified as ionic conduction mechanism. From TSC analyses, there are three peaks as P1, P2, P3 with increasing temperature, and with increasing substrate temperature, the peak temperature of TSC increases and the peak intensity of TSC decreases.

Cobalt (Co) 박막은 낮은 저항과 우수한 열적 안정성에 의해 금속 배선공정에서 copper의 확산 및 산화를 방지하기 위해 사용된다. Co 박막을 증착하기 위해서는 유기화학 증착법이 많이 사용되고, 이를 위해 많은 Co 전구체들이 연구되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $Co(hfac)_2$ 전구체의 플라즈마 및 반응가스에 따른 기상상태의 변화와 증착공정에서 발생되는 입자의 크기와의 상관관계를 연구하였다. 실험의 변수로 반응가스 ($H_2$, $H_2O$)와 플라즈마 파워 (0~50W)를 사용하였다. 또한 Co 전구체의 기상분해 및 반응을 분석을 위해 fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy를 사용하였다. 그리고 기상상태의 변화가 입자 형성에 끼치는 영향을 관찰하기 위해 저압에서 실시간으로 나노입자를 측정할 수 있는 장비인 particle beam mass spectrometer (PBMS)를 활용하였다.

유기 태양전지는 다른 무기계 태양전지에 비해 물질 자체의 쉬운 가공성과 유연한 특성으로 차세대 플렉시블 태양전지로 각광받고 있지만 상대적으로 짧은 수명으로 상용화에 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 현재까지 알려진 유기 태양전지의 짧은 수명의 원인으로는 수분과 산소에 의한 광활성층의 화학적 열화 및 표면의 변화, 전극의 열화, 전자-전공 수송층의 흡습현상 등이 있다 [1]. 본 연구에서는 이러한 이론적인 열화 메커니즘에 기초하여 일정한 수분과 산소 분위기에서 각 단위층들이 열화되는 현상을 광학적, 화학적 분석을 통해 짧은 수명의 원인을 밝혀내고자 한다. 유기 태양전지의 가혹시험은 $85^{\circ}C$의 온도와 85%의 습도 조건에서 이뤄졌으며, 가혹시간에 따른 열화현상 비교를 위해 0, 50, 100, 250, 500 h 동안 시험을 진행하였다. C-O, C=O 결합 형성에 의한 광활성층의 ${\pi}$공액의 변형은 FT-IR(fourier transform infrared spectroscopy)과 XRD (X-ray diffraction) 측정을 통해 분석하였고 변화된 표면 형상은 FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscopy) 측정을 통해 관찰하였다.

반도체 소자의 소형화로 신개념 화학증착공정 구현을 위한 장비와 화학증착소재의 개발이 활발이 연구되고 있다. 특히 증착소재의 물리적 화학적 특성을 파악하고 가장 적합한 소재를 선택하기 위한 연구도 변행되고 있다. 많은 연구자들이 소재 평가를 위해 가스크로마토그래피, 질량분석기, 적외선 분광기 등을 이용한 화학증착소재의 특성을 파악하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 하지만 실제 화학기상증착(Chemical Vapor Deposition)법과 원자층증착(Atomic Layer Deposition)법 공정에서 웨이퍼 표면에서의 화학증착소재의 흡착거동에 대한 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 개선된 Attenuated Total Reflectance(ATR)분광계를 이용하여 표면에 흡착된 소재의 흡착거동에 대해 분석을 수행하였다. 평가에 사용된 화학증착소재는 C-Zr (Tris (dimethylamino) cyclopentadienyl zirconium)이며, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT- IR)시스템 내에 설치된 ATR 분광계 표면에 흡착된 C-Zr 증착소재를 다양한 공정조건(온도 및 반응가스, 플라즈마 파워 등)에서의 거동 변화를 연구하였다.
