Organic materials have been explored as the gate dielectric layers in thin film transistors (TFTs) of backplane devices for flexible display because of their inherent mechanical flexibility. However, those materials possess some disadvantages like low dielectric constant and thermal resistance, which might lead to high power consumption and instability. On the other hand, inorganic gate dielectrics show high dielectric constant despite their brittle property. In order to maintain advantages of both materials, it is essential to develop the alternative materials. In this work, we manufactured nanocomposite gate dielectrics composed of organic material and inorganic nanoparticle and integrated them into organic TFTs. For synthesis of nanocomposite gate dielectrics, polyimide (PI) was explored as the organic materials due to its superior thermal stability. Candidate nanoprticles (NPs) of halfnium oxide, titanium oxide and aluminium oxide were considered. In order to realize NP concentration dependent electrical characteristics, furthermore, we have synthesized the different types of nanocomposite gate dielectrics with varying ratio of each inorganic NPs. To analyze gate dielectric properties like the capacitance, metal-Insulator-metal (MIM) structures were prepared together with organic TFTs. The output and transfer characteristics of organic TFTs were monitored by using the semiconductor parameter analyzer (HP4145B), and capacitance and leakage current of MIM structures were measured by the LCR meter (B1500, Agilent). Effects of mechanical cyclic bending of 200,000 times and thermally heating at $400^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour were investigated to analyze mechanical and thermal stability of nanocomposite gate dielectrics. The results will be discussed in detail.

LSGM(($La_xSr_{1-x})(Ga_yMg_{1-y})O_3$) electrolyte is known to show very serious interfacial reaction with other unit cell components, especially with an anode. Such an interfacial reaction induced the phase instability of constituent component and deterioration of the unit cell performance, which become the most challenging issues in LSGM-based SOFCs. In this study, we fabricated LSGM($La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Ga_{0.83}Mg_{0.17}O_x$) electrolyte supported-type cell in order to avoid such interfacial problem by lowering the heat-treatment temperature of the electrode fabrication. According to the microstructural and phase analysis, there was no serious interfacial reaction at both electrolyte/anode and electrolyte/cathode interfaces. Moreover, from the electrochemical characterization of the unit cell performance, there was no distinct deterioration of the open cell voltage as well as an internal cell resistance. These results demonstrate the most critical point to be concerned in LSGM-based SOFC is either to find a proper electrode material which will not give any interfacial reaction with LSGM electrolyte or to properly adjust the processing variables for unit cell fabrication, to reduce the interfacial reaction.

유뇨증은 발병기전이 단일한 원인으로 설명되기 어려운 임상적으로 복합적인 질병이다. 유전적 요인, 신경근육계 및 비뇨기계의 미성숙, 심리사회적 요인이나 대소변 가리기 훈련의 이상, 그리고 생물학적 요인 등 여러 가지 원인론들이 있으나 아직 확실한 것은 없다. 그러나 최근 신경생리학적 연구와 신경 내분비학적 연구들의 결과, 야뇨증과 수면주기와의 관련성이나 야간의 항이뇨호르몬 (antidiuretic hormone) 분비 저하와의 관련성 등 보고되어 야뇨증의 치료에 있어 새로운 접근을 가능하게 하고 있다. Vasopressin 이 우수한 치료율, 안전성, 적은 부작용 등으로 새로운 치료약물로서 시도되고 있으나 재발율이 높아, imipramine또는 vasopressin의 투여와 Bell-alarm행동요법을 병행하여 치료하는 것이 바람직하다.

Gastric cancer is heterogeneous in morphology, biology, genomics, and treatment response. Alterations in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression, microsatellite instability (MSI) status, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) levels, and fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) can be used as biomarkers. Since the combination of fluoropyrimidine/platinum plus trastuzumab that was investigated in the ToGA trial was approved as a standard of care in HER2-positive patients in 2010, no other agents showed efficacy in the first- (HELOISE, LOGiC, JACOB trials) and second- (TyTAN, GATSBY, T-ACT trials) line treatments. Despite the success in treating breast cancer, various anti-HER2 agents, including a monoclonal antibody (pertuzumab), an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC; trastuzumab emtansine [T-DM1]), and a small molecule (lapatinib) failed to translate into clinical benefits until the KEYNOTE-811 (first-line) and DESTINY-Gastri01 (≥second-line) trials were conducted. The incorporation of HER2-directed treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors in the form of a monoclonal antibody or ADC is now approved as a standard treatment. Despite the promising results of new agents (engineered monoclonal antibodies, bi-specific antibodies, fusion proteins, and small molecules) in the early phase of development, the management of HER2-positive gastric cancer requires further optimization to achieve precision medicine with a chemotherapeutic backbone. Treatment resistance is a complex process that can be overcome using a combination of chemotherapy, targeted agents, and immune checkpoint inhibitors, including novel agents. HER2 status must be reassessed in patients undergoing anti-HER2 treatment with disease progression after the first-line treatment. As a general guideline, patients who need systemic treatment should receive chemotherapy plus targeted agents, anti-angiogenic agents, immune checkpoint inhibitors, or their combinations.

The Li-rich oxides are promising cathode materials due to their high energy density. However, characteristics such as low rate capability, unstable cyclic performance, and rapid capacity fading during cycling prevent their commercialization. These characteristics are mainly attributed to the phase instability of the host structure and undesirable side reactions at the cathode/electrolyte interface. To suppress the phase transition during cycling and interfacial side reactions with the reactive electrolyte, K (potassium) doping and Nb oxide coating were simultaneously introduced to a Li-rich oxide (Li_1.2Ni_0.13Co_0.13Mn_0.54O₂). The capacity and rate capability of the Li-rich oxide were significantly enhanced by K doping. Considering the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the interslab thickness of LiO₂ increased and cation mixing decreased due to K doping, which facilitated Li migration during cycling and resulted in enhanced capacity and rate capability. The K-doped Li-rich oxide also exhibited considerably improved cyclic performance, probably because the large K⁺ ions disturb the migration of the transition metals causing the phase transition and act as a pillar stabilizing the host structure during cycling. The Nb oxide coating also considerably enhanced the capacity and rate capability of the samples, indicating that the undesirable interfacial layer formed from the side reaction was a major resistance factor that reduced the capacity of the cathode. This result confirms that the introduction of K doping and Nb oxide coating is an effective approach to enhance the electrochemical performance of Li-rich oxides.

Recently, amorphous oxides such as InGaZnO (IGZO) and InZnO (IZO) as a channel layer of an oxide TFT have been attracted by advantages such as high mobility, good uniformity, and high transparency. In order to apply such an amorphous oxide TFTs to a display, the stability in various environments must be ensured. In the InGaZnO which has been studied in the past, Ga elements act as a suppressor of oxygen vacancy and result in a decreased mobility at the same time. Previous studies have been showed that the InZnO, which does not contain Ga, can achieve high mobility, but has relatively poor stability under various instability environments. In this study, the TFTs using $IZO/Al_2O_3$ double layer structure were studied. The introduction of an $Al_2O_3$ interlayer between source/drain and channel causes superior electrical characteristics and electrical stability as well as reduced contact resistance with optimally perfect ohmic contact. For the IZO and $Al_2O_3$ bilayer structures, the IZO 30nm IZO channels were prepared at $Ar:O_2=30:1$ by sputtering and the $Al_2O_3$ interlayer were depostied with various thickness by ALD at $150^{\circ}C$. The optimal sample exhibits considerably good TFT performance with $V_{th}$ of -3.3V and field effect mobility of $19.25cm^2/Vs$, and reduced $V_{th}$ shift under positive bias stress stability, compared to conventional IZO TFT. The enhanced TFT performances are closely related to the nice ohmic contact properties coming from the defect passivation of the IZO surface inducing charge traps, and we will provide the detail mechanism and model via electrical analysis and transmission line method.

본 연구에서는 연약지반기초 및 암반사면 거동 계측 도구로서 스파이럴 볼트 변형률계의 적용 가능성을 살펴보고자 한다. 이 변형률계가 지중에 설치되었을 때, 지반에 대한 인발 저항성이 높아 지반 보강용으로 적용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 유연성의 특징을 가지고 있기 때문에 지반의 거동 상태를 파악하는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. 연약지반기초에 대한 스파이럴 볼트의 변형률 계측결과, 변형률 측정 초기에는 안정한 상태를 보이다가 400일이 경과한 시점에서는 스파이럴 볼트 변형률계의 윗부분과 중간부분에서 큰 변화가 관찰되었다. 이러한 변화는 동일한 시기에 강수량 증가와 함께 빈번하게 발생한 진도 1~2의 지진에 의한 영향으로 지반이 이완되어 야기한 것으로 분석된다. 암반사면에 대한 스파이럴 볼트의 변형률 계측결과, 측정시작일로부터 50일 동안에 안정한 상태를 보였으며 50~160일 기간에는 매설길이 4.2 m 지점(P6)의 변형률 게이지에서 가장 큰 변형률을 보였다. 그러나 P6 변형률 게이지를 제외한 나머지 게이지는 특이한 변화를 보이지 않았다. 스파이럴 볼트 변형률계의 측정결과를 종합적으로 살펴보면 측정대상인 연약지반기초와 암반사면은 안정적인 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서 소개하는 스파이럴 볼트 변형률계는 연약지반기초 및 암반사면 거동의 모니터링과 동시에 대상지반의 보강에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

술폰화 폴리아릴렌에테르술폰(SPAES) 랜덤 공중합체는 고분자 전해질 연료전지에 적용될 때 높은 수소이온전도도, 상대적으로 낮은 생산 단가 그리고 열화학적 저항성등과 같은 장점을 갖는다. 반면, SPAES 공중합체는 가혹한 구동 조건하에서 낮은 화학적 안정성과 치수 불안전성으로 인해 실제 연료전지 막에 직접적으로 적용하는데 어려움이 있다. 그에 타당한 해결책은 SPAES 공중합체를 상호 연결된 기공 구조와 높은 열화학적 강도를 가지는 지지체 필름(예 : 전기방사된 폴리이미드 지지체)에 함침시키는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 함침막 제조를 위한 이오노머로 빠른 이온 수송을 위해 높은 자유 체적을 유도하는 회전 그룹을 갖는 SPAES 공중합체를 선택하였다. 제작된 막의 실용가능성은 막 특성화를 통해 평가되었다.

Today, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of hydrocarbon gases has been demonstrated as an attractive method to synthesize large-area graphene layers. However, special care should be taken to precisely control the resulting graphene layers in CVD due to its sensitivity to various process parameters. Therefore, a facile synthesis to grow graphene layers with high controllability will have great advantages for scalable practical applications. In order to simplify and create efficiency in graphene synthesis, the graphene growth by thermal annealing process has been discussed by several groups. However, the study on growth mechanism and the detailed structural and optoelectronic properties in the resulting graphene films have not been reported yet, which will be of particular interest to explore for the practical application of graphene. In this study, we report the growth of few-layer, large-area graphene films using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) without the use of intentional carbon-containing precursor. The instability of nickel films in air facilitates the spontaneous formation of ultrathin (<2~3 nm) carbon- and oxygen-containing compounds on a nickel surface and high-temperature annealing of the nickel samples results in the formation of few-layer graphene films with high crystallinity. From annealing temperature and ambient studies during RTA, it was found that the evaporation of oxygen atoms from the surface is the dominant factor affecting the formation of graphene films. The thickness of the graphene layers is strongly dependent on the RTA temperature and time and the resulting films have a limited thickness less than 2 nm even for an extended RTA time. The transferred films have a low sheet resistance of ~380 ${\Omega}/sq$, with ~93% optical transparency. This simple and potentially inexpensive method of synthesizing novel 2-dimensional carbon films offers a wide choice of graphene films for various potential applications.
