In this study, AlN thin films were deposited on a polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC buffer layer for surface acoustic wave (SAW) applications using a pulsed reactive magnetron sputtering system. AFM, XRD and FT-IR were used to analyze structural properties and preferred orientation of the AlN/3C-SiC thin film. Suitability of the film in SAW applications was investigated by comparing the SAW characteristics of an interdigital transducer (IDT)/AlN/3C-SiC structure with the IDT/AIN/Si structure at 160 MHz in the temperature range $30-150^{\circ}C$. These experimental results showed that AlN films on the poly 3C-SiC layer were highly (002) oriented. Furthermore, the film showed improved temperature stability for the SAW device, $TCF\;=\;-18\;ppm//^{\circ}C$. The change in resonance frequency according to temperature was nearly linear. The insertion loss decrease was about $0.033dB/^{\circ}C$. However, some defects existed in the film, which caused a slight reduction in SAW velocity.

We have investigated the highly flexible and transparent Si-doped $In_2O_3$(ISO)/Ag/ISO multilayer grown on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates using a roll-to-roll sputtering system. The electrical and optical properties of ISO/Ag/ISO multilayer electrodes depended on the insertion of a nano-size Ag layer. Due to the high conductivity of a nano-size Ag layer, the optimized ISO/Ag/ISO multilayer electrodes showed the lowest resistivity of $3.679{\times}10^{-5}Ohm-cm$, even though the ISO/Ag/ISO multilayer electrodes was sputtered at room temperature. Furthermore, the ISO/Ag/ISO multilayer electrodes exhibited a high transmittance of 86.33%, because of the anti-reflection effect, comparable to Sn-doped $In_2O_3$ (ITO) electrodes. In addition, the ISO/Ag/ISO multilayer electrodes had a very smooth surface morphology without surface defects and showed good flexibility. The flexible OSCs fabricated on ISO(30nm)/Ag(8nm)/ISO(30nm) multilayer electrode showed a power conversion efficiency of 3.272%. This result indicates that the ISO/Ag/ISO multilayer is a promising transparent conducting electrode for flexible OSCs.

An efficient wet process approach to modifying natural graphite (NG) electrodes for Li-ion batteries is introduced in this paper. With homogeneous mixing and thermal decomposition of NG with diammonium phosphate ((NH₄)₂HPO₄), phosphorus and nitrogen were successfully incorporated into the surface layer of NG particles. Electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses demonstrated that the surface was well modified by this process. As a result, the treated NG electrodes exhibited much improved electrochemical performance over pristine NG at two different temperatures: 25 ℃ and 50 ℃. Excellent capacity retention of 95.6% was obtained after 100 cycles at 50 ℃. These enhanced properties were confirmed in a morphology analysis on the cross-sections of the NG electrodes after galvanostatic cycling. The improved cycle and thermal stabilities can be attributed to the surface treatment with phosphorus and nitrogen; the treatment formed a stable solid electrolyte interphase layer that performed well when undergoing Li insertion and extraction cycling.

Electron injection enhancement at OLED (organic light-emitting diodes) cathode side has mostly been achieved by insertion of a low work function layer between metal electrode and emissive layer. We investigated the interfacial chemical reactions and electronic structures of alkaline-earth metal (Ca, Ba)/Alq3 [tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminium] and Ca/BaF2/Alq3 using in-situ X-ray & ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The alkaline-earth metal deposited on Alq3 generates two energetically separated gap states in sequential manner. This phenomenon is explained by step-by-step charge transfer from alkali-earth metal to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) states of Alq3, forming new occupied states below Fermi level. The BaF2 interlayer initially prevents from direct contact between Alq3 and reactive Ca metal, but it is dissociated into Ba and CaF2. However, as the Ca thickness increases, the Ca penetrates the interlayer to directly participate in the reaction with underlying Alq3. The influence of the multiple gap state formation by the interfacial chemical reaction on the OLED performance will be discussed.

본 논문에서는 다층 구조를 이 용하여 다중 대 역(GSM, DCS, PCS, WCDMA, 2.3 GHz WiMAX)에서 동작하며, 다층 구조이므로 공간 재활용이 가능하여 안테나 크기를 효율적으로 줄일 수 있는 칩 안테나를 제안하였다. 또한, 중간층에 air-gap을 삽입하여 병렬 캐피시턴스 성분을 감소시켜 넓은 대역폭을 얻을 수 있었다. 제안한 안테나는 RO4003 유전체(${\varepsilon}_r=3.4$)를 사용한 다층 구조의 PIFA이고, 안테나 부피는 $22{\times}5.5{\times}4.0\;mm^3$이다. 측정 결과, 안테나 효율 45 % 이상인 대역폭은 low-band에서 80 MHz($880{\sim}960\;MHz$)이며, high-band에서 690 MHz($1,710{\sim}2,400\;MHz$)을 보였으며, 안테나의 고차 모드와 최상위 층의 공진으로 인해 high-band에서 넓은 대역폭을 갖게 되는 것으로 사료된다.

양 전극 사이에 압전층 외에 비압전성의 접합층이 존재하는 ${\lambda}/4$ 모드 PVDF 초음파 트랜스듀서에 있어서 그 접합층이 트랜스듀서의 성능에 미치는 영향을 등가회로에 의해 해석하였다. 등가회로로서는 Kikuchi 등이 제안한 전송선로 모델[Sound of IEICE, 55-A, 331-338 (1981)]을 도입하였는데, 먼저 그 모델에 의한 해석의 타당성을 $80{\mu}m$ 두께의 PVDF 압전막이 동(Cu) 후면체에 부착되는 세 가지 경우를 가정한 KLM 모델과의 비교를 통해 검증하였다. 다음으로, 그 압전막과 더불어 $5{\mu}m{\sim}20{\mu}m$ 두께의 에폭시 접합층을 갖는 다섯 개의 트랜스듀서를 제작하여 펄스 에코 응답을 측정한 후 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하였다. 두 결과는 서로 잘 일치하였는바, 도입한 Kikuchi 모델에 의해 접합층이 트랜스듀서의 성능에 미치는 영향을 파악할 수 있음을 알았는데, 접합층이 $20{\mu}m$일 때는 그 접합층이 없을 때에 비해 중심주파수와 대역폭은 각각 약 19.7 %, 25.0 % 감소하고, 삽입손실은 57.2 % 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

4$^{\circ}$기울어진 Si(111) 웨이퍼를 기판으로 사용하여 Cu(50$\AA$) 바닥층 위에 외부 자장의 인가없이 iFe(60$\AA$)/Co(0$\AA$$\leq$x$\AA$$\leq$15$\AA$)/Cu(60$\AA$)/Co(30$\AA$) 스핀밸브 박막을 형성하여, NiFe/Cu 계면에 삽입된 Co 층에 따른 스핀밸브 박막의 거대자기저항 특성의 변화와 NiFe 층의 자기이방성의 변화를 관찰하였다. NiFe/Cu 계면에 극히 얇은 Co층이 삽입됨에 따라, 스핀밸브 박막의 자기저항비는 약 1.5%에서 3.5%로 약 2배이상 증가하였고, NiFe층의 자화용이축이 90$^{\circ}$전이하여 Co(30$\AA$)층의 자화용이축과 같은 방향으로 정렬됨이 관찰되었다. 따라서, 극히 얇은 Co 층이 NiFe/Cu 계면에 삽입된 스핀밸브 박막에서 향상된 각형성(squareness)을 나타내는 자기저항곡선을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 이는 MRAM을 비롯한 디지털 자기저항소자 응용에 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 또한, NiFe 박막을 동일한 기판과 바닥층에 형성하여, NiFe 박막과 Cu 바닥층이 이루는 계면에 Co 층의 삽입 유무에 따른 XRD 측정을 한 결과, NiFe/Cu 계면에 존재하는 Co층에 상관없이 NiFe 박막은(220) 배향을 타나냈었으며, 이로부터 극히 얇은 Co층의 삽입에 따른 NiFe층의 자기이방성의 변화는 NiFe/Cu 계면에서 NiFe/Co 계면으로 바뀜에 따른 계면 효과에 의한 것으로 사료되었다.

This paper presents micromachining results on planar-lightwave-circuit (PLC) chips with Si substrate and the quartz substrate by using Ti:Sapphire femtosecond-pulsed laser. The ablation process with femtosecond laser pulses generates nothing of contamination, molten zone, microcracks, shock wave, delamination and recast layer. We also showed that the micromachine for PLC using femtosecond pulsed lasers is superior to that using nanosecond pulsed lasers. The insertion loss and the optical return loss of the 1 ${\times}$ 8 optical power splitters packaged with micromachined input- and output-port U-grooves were less than 11.0 ㏈ and more than 55 ㏈, respectively. The wavelength dependent loss (WDL) was distributed within $\pm$0.6 ㏈ and the polarization dependent loss (PDL) was less than 0.2 ㏈.

In this article, we describe a simple yet effective method for insertion of observational datasets in a mesoscale atmospheric model used in one-dimensional configuration through Nudging. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique, vertical profiles of meteorological parameters obtained from GLASS Sonde launches from a tiny island of Kaashidhoo in the Republic of Maldives are injected in a mesoscale atmospheric model - Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS), and model simulated parameters are compared with the available observational datasets. Analysis of one-time nudging in the model simulations over Kaashidhoo show that incorporation of this technique reasonably improves the model simulations within a time domain of +6 to +12 Hrs, while its impact on +18 Hrs simulations and beyond becomes literally null.

Overlap errors and side-lobes can be simultaneously solved by the rule-based correction using scattering bars with the rules extracted from test patterns. Process parameters affecting the attPSM lithography simulation have been determined by the fitting method to the process data. Overlap errors have been solved applying the correction rules to the metal patterns overlapped with contact/via. Moreover, the optimal insertion rule of the scattering bars has made it possible to suppress the side-lobes and to get additional pattern fidelity at the same time.
