Ohmic thawing in combination with conventional water immersion thawing was investigated. Frozen meat chunks $(10{\times}10{\times}10{\;}cm)$ were immersed in a water reservoir $(12{\times}12{\times}12{\;}cm)$ which temperature was maintained at $10^{\circ}C{\;}or{\;}20^{\circ}C$, and were positioned between two stainless-steel electrodes $(10{\times}10{\;}cm)$ having no direct contact with the samples. Alternating current $(60{\;}V{\sim}210{\;}V)$ at various frequency $(60{\;}Hz{\sim}60{\;}kHz)$ was used to generate internal heat by the electrical resistance. When the frequency was fixed to 60Hz, thawing time was reduced as the voltage increased. Frequency changes gave no significant effect on thawing time. Ohmically-thawed samples treated with lower voltage showed lower drip loss and higher water holding capacity.

최근 분극 특성이 상이한 무분극 GaN 에피성장에 관한 심도 있는 연구와 함께 전자-전공 캐리어의 주입 및 캐리어의 거동, 방출되는 편광 특성 및 다양한 물리적 특성들에 대해 보고되고 있으며, 광학적 특성 및 물리적 특성의 확보를 위한 많은 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다 [1]. GaN의 ohmic 접촉(ohmic contact)의 형성은 발광 다이오드(light emitting diode), 레이저 다이오드(Laser), 태양전지(solar cell)와 같은 고신뢰도, 고효율 광전자 소자를 제조하기 위해서는 매우 중요하다 [2]. 그러나 이와 함께 병행 되어야 할 무분극 p-GaN 의 ohmic contact에 관한 연구는 많이 이루어지고 있지 않는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 r-plane 사파이어 기판 상에 성장된 p-GaN에서의 ohmic 접촉 형성 연구를 위하여 Ni/Au ohmic 전극의 접촉저항 특성을 연구하였다. 본 실험에서는 성장된 a-plane GaN의 Hole농도가 $3.09{\times}1017cm3$ 인 시편을 사용하였다. E-beam evaporation 장비를 이용하여 Ni/Au를 각각 20 nm 그리고80 nm 증착 하였으며 비접촉저항을 측정하기 위해 Circle-Transfer Length Method (C-TLM) 패턴을 사용하였다. 샘플은 RTA (Rapid Thermal Annealing)를 사용하여 $300^{\circ}C$에서 $700^{\circ}C$까지 온도를 변화시키며 전기적 특성을 비교하여 그림 1(a) 나타내었다. 그림에서 알 수 있듯이 $400^{\circ}C$에서 가장 낮은 비접촉저항 값인 $6.95{\times}10-3{\Omega}cm2$를 얻을 수 있음을 발견하였다. 이 때의 I-V curve 도 그림1(b)에 나타낸 바와 같이 열처리에 의해 크게 향상됨을 알 수 있다. 그러나, $500^{\circ}C$ 이상 온도를 증가시키면 다시 비접촉 저항이 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. XRD (x-Ray Diffraction) 분석을 통하여 $400^{\circ}C$ 이상열처리 온도가 증가하면 금속 표면에 $NiO_2$가 형성되며, 이에 따라 오믹특성이 저하 된다고 사료된다. 또한 $Ni_3N$의 존재를 확인 하였으며 이는 nonpolar surface의 특성으로 인해 nitrogen out diffusion 현상이 동시에 발생하여 계면에는 dopant로 작용하는 질소 공공을 남기고 표면에 $Ni_3N$을 형성하여 ohmic contact의 특성이 저하되기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

In order to develop a novel dewatering process for soybean milk residue, hydraulic press with ohmic heating was built and its expression conditions were examined. The electric conductivity of raw soybean milk residue was 0.128 S/m and increased linearly with increasing temperature. Water content of the residue could be reduced to 74% with the conventional hydraulic press, but to less than 70% by applying ohmic heating to the hydraulic press. The most effective dewatering was achieved by applying alternative current with 5 kHz frequency at 60 V during expression. The solid content of the expressed liauid was markedly reduced from 10% to 3.3% by ohmic heating during expression. Temperature of the cake rose to above $95^{\circ}C$ during the dewatering due to ohmic heating.

This study investigated the effect of ohmic thawing on the physicochemical properties of pork meat. The physicochemical properties of pork meat thawed by brine immersion and electrode contact ohmic systems were compared. A more rapid thawing rate was seen with the electrode contact thawing system than with brine immersion. No significant differences in pH were found with increasing voltage for both thawing methods (p>0.05). Increasing the voltage level tended to decrease drip loss, resulting in increased water holding capacity. The shear forces of pork thawed at 50 V did not differ from the control (p>0.05) for both thawing methods. Although significantly high TBARS (p<0.05) values were found at 20 and 40 V for immersion, and 0 V for contact thawing, increasing the voltage level tended to decrease the TBARS values. Regarding TVBN, no significant effect was observed with increasing voltage levels (p>0.05). The total color difference of pork was significantly higher (p<0.05) with immersion thawing than with electrode contact thawing. These results indicate that brine immersion thawing is favorable at high voltage levels, while lower voltage levels are applicable for electrode contact thawing.

The Ohmic contact of Ti/Au metals on n-type ZnO thin film deposited on c-plane sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition was investigated by TLM (transfer length method) patterns. The Ti/Au metal films with thickness of 35 nm and 90 nm were deposited by electron-beam evaporator and thermal evaporator, respectively. By using the photo-lithography method, the $100{\times}100{\mu}m^2$ TLM patterns with $6{\sim}61{\mu}m$ gaps were formed. To improve the electrical properties as well as to decrease an interface states and stress between metal and semiconductor, the post-annelaing process was done in oxygen ambient by rapid thermal annealing system at temperature of $100{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ for 1 min. In this study, it appeared that the minimum specific contact resistivity shows about $1.1{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ in $300^{\circ}C$ annealed sample, which may be originated from formation of oxygen vacancies of ZnO during an oxidation of Ti metal at the interface of Ohmic contacts.

Characteristics of ohmic Ni/Si/Ni contacts to n-type 4H-SiC are investigated systematically. The ohmic contacts were formed by annealing Ni/Si/Ni sputtered sequentially The annealings were performed at 950℃ using RTP in vacuum ambient and N₂ ambient, respectively. The specific contact resistivity(p/sub c/), sheet resistance(R/sub s/), contact resistance (R/sub c/) transfer length(L/sub T/) were calculated from resistance(R/sub T/) versus contact spacing(d) measurements obtained from TLM(transmission line method) structure. While the resulting measurement values of sample annealed at vacuum ambient were p/sub c/ = 3.8×10/sup -5/Ω㎠, R/sub c/ = 4.9 Ω and R/sub T/ = 9.8 Ω, those of sample annealed at N₂ ambient were p/sub c/ = 2.29×10/sup -4/Ω㎠, R/sub c/ = 12.9 Ω and R/sub T/ = 25.8 Ω. The physical properties of contacts were examined using XRD 3nd AES. The results showed that nickel silicide was formed on SiC and Ni was migrated into SiC. This result indicates that Ni/Si/Ni ohmic contact would be useful in high performance electronic devices.

ZnO는 실온에서 3.37 eV의 큰 밴드갭 에너지와 60 meV의 높은 exciton binding energy를 가지고 있어 광소자를 만드는데 큰 관심을 얻고 있다. 또한 최근에는 ZnO를 기반으로 한 동종접합 전광소자를 만드는데 성공하였다. 그러나 소자의 성능을 높이기 위해 여러 가지 개선할 사항이 있다. 그 중에 하나는 캐리어를 잘 주입 시키기 위한 금속-반도체 접합을 구현하는 것이다. 이러한 문제를 개선하기 위해서는 ZnO 기반으로 한 낮은 비저항을 가진 소자가 필요하다. 일반적으로 n-type ZnO Ohmic 접합에서 쓰이는 금속은 Ti/Au, Ta/Au, Al/Au 등이 있다. 실험방법은 c-plane 사파이어 기판 위에 펄스 레이저 증착 방법으로 3시간 동안 $500^{\circ}C$ 환경에서 ZnO 박막을 성장하고, 표면을 고르게 하기 위해 $1000^{\circ}C$에서 1분 동안 열처리를 진행하였다. 샘플 위에 photo-resist 코팅을 한 다음 transfer length method(TLM)를 이용하기 위해 포토리소그래피 장비를 통하여 샘플을 노광하였다. 그 위에 Ti/Au (30 nm/80 nm)를 E-beam/thermal evaporation으로 증착 하였다. 이는 일반적인 반도체 공정과 Lift-off방식을 이용하여 패터닝 하였다. 샘플을 열처리하는 것은 금속과 반도체의 접촉 접착과 전기적인 성질을 개선하고 응력과 계면 결함을 감소시키기 때문에 샘플을 100, 200, 300, 400, $500^{\circ}C$에서 각각 열처리하였다. 저항을 구하기 위해 각각 열처리된 샘플과 as-deposited의 전류, 전압 특성을 측정하고, 이러한 실험 방법으로 n-type ZnO의 Ohmic 접합을 구현하는 것이 목표이다.

The electrical properties and dc aging behavior for specified stress state of system, which is composed of quaternary Zn-Pr-Co-Cr, were investigated for different $Dy_2O_3$ addition doping level. As $Dy_2O_3$ doping level increased, the density decreased in the range of 5.51-4.90 $g/cm^3$, reaching maximum at 0.5 mol% and the average ZnO grain size decreased in the range of 17.7-6.0 ${\mu}m$. The incorporation of $Dy_2O_3$ significantly improved the non-ohmic properties, above 30 in non-ohmic coefficient, compared with that of undoped samples. The samples with the best performance of non-ohmic properties were obtained for $Dy_2O_3$ doping level of 1.0 mol%, with 49 in non-ohmic coefficient and 2.6 ${\mu}A/cm^2$ in leakage current. The samples with the highest stability were obtained for $Dy_2O_3$ doping level of 0.5 mol%.

Pd/Si/Pd/Ti/Au ohmic contact to n-type InGaAs was investigated with rapid thermal annealing conditions. Minimum specific contact resistivity of $3.9\times10^{-7}\Omega\textrm{cm}^2$ was achieved at $400^{\circ}C$/20sec. This was related to the formation of Pd-Si compounds by rapid thermal annealing and the in-diffusion of Si atoms to InGaAs surface. However, the specific contact resistivity increased slightly to low-$10^{-6}\Omega \textrm{cm}^2$ at $400^{\circ}C$ for longer than 30 seconds, and to high-$10^{-7}$ at 425~$450^{\circ}C$ for 10 seconds. This resulted from the formation of Pd-Ga compounds. Superior ohmic contact and non-spiking planar interface between ohmic materials and InGaAs were maintained after annealing at high temperature. Therefore, this thermally stable ohmic contact system is a promising candidate for compound semiconductor devices.
