This paper reports the measurement and analysis of the short channel effects and the punchthrough voltage of SOI-MOSFET with a self-aligned ground plane electrode in the silicon mechanical substrate underneath the buried oxide. When the channel length is reduced below 0.2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ it is observed that the threshold voltage roll-off and the subthreshold swing with channel length are reduced and DIBL is improved more significantly in GP-SOI devices than FD-SOI devices. It is also observed from the dependence of threshold voltage with substrate biases that the body factor is a higher in GP-SOI devices than FD-SOI devices. From the measurement results of punchthrough voltage, GP-SOI devices show the higher punchthrough voltages than FD-SOI devices

To determine the effect of Zibachunggan-tang(ZCT) on the process of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nuclear factor-kBp65 (NF-kBp65) activation, and LPS-induced expression of pro-inflammatory proteins including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), in HepG2 cell. Immunoblot analysis showed that the level of nucleic NF-kBp65 was rapidly up-regulated and cytosolic inhibitory I-kBα was down-regulated by LPS challenge. While ZCT inhibited an increase of NF-kBp65 and degradation of I-kBα in HepG2 cell. Beside LPS-induced expression of a group of genes, such as TNF-α, inducible iNOS and COX-2, are repressed by ZCT. It may be concluded that ZCT attenuates the progress of LPS-induced inflammation by reduction of NF-kBp65 activation. The ZCT would be useful as a therapeutic agent for endotoxin-induced liver disease.

Recently, free radicals such as active oxygen species, nitric oxide, etc are believed to be one of the key substances in physiological and pathological, toxicological phenomena, and oxidative damages, and all organism have defencing system against such as free radicals. Formation and extinction of free radicals may be regulated through bio-redox system, in which various enzymes and compounds should be involved in very complicated manner. Thus, direct and non-invasive measurement of in vivo free radical reactions with living animals must be essential to understand the role of free radicals in pathophysiological phenomena. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) is very selective and sensitive technique to detect free radicals, but a conventional ESR spectrometer has large detect in application to living animals, since high frequent microwave is absorbed with water, resulting in generation of high fever in living body. In order to estimate in vivo free radical reactions in living whole animals, we develop in vivo ESR-CT technique using nitroxide radicals as spin probes. Nitroxide radicals and their reduced forms, hydroxylamines, are known to interact with various redox systems. We found that! ! the signal decay due to reduction of nitroxyl radicals is influenced by aging, inspired oxygen concentration, ischemia-referfusion injury, radiation, etc. In the present paper, I will introduce in vivo ESR technique and my laboratory recent results concerning non-invasive evaluation of free radical reactions in living mice.

The reduction behavior of $TiO_{2}$ in Al and Al/CaSi containing self-reducing $TiO_{2}$ briquettes(SRTB) was investigated. The maximum yield of Ti was expected with the slag composition of 45-55%CaO in the $CaO-Al_{2}O_{3}$ system. When $CaCO_{3}$ was used as a flux, the oxidation loss of reducing agent by $CO_{2}$ should be compensated, and therefore it leads to excessive requirement of the reducing agent. By using Al and CaSi mixture as a reducing agent of $TiO_{2}$, the reaction products both oxide and metal could be liquefied, and separated effectively with each other. As a result, the yield of Ti increases remarkably. The optimum mixing ratio of CaSi to Al is 78%CaSi-22%Al.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of rutin from buckwheat vegetable on rats fed with hypercholesterolemic diets. Sprague-Dawley male rats were fed the diets providing various level of buckwheat vegetable for five weeks. Body weight increased during the experimental period. Body weight gain decreased by addition of cholesterol group (C-C). Rutin feeding group (T-l) and buckwheat vegetable feeding group (T-2, T-3, and T-4) showed the reduction of weight gain. Total cholesterol level decreased whereas HDL-cholesterol level increased with the increasing amount of buckwheat vegetable added. The value of thiobarbituric acid in serum decreased with increasing buckwheat vegetable added. The histopathological changes of the kidney were different among the experimental groups. Kidney of the rats fed with cholesterol added diet showed severe calcification.

(La,Sr)MnO$_3$(LSM)-YSZ 복합체 양극에 있어서 소결온도 및 전극두께와 cathodic potential이 전극 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 양극의 소결은 삼상계면의 양을 결정하는 중요한 변수로 LSM 단미 양극과 YSZ가 40 wt% 포함된 LSM-YSZ 복합체 양극 모두 120$0^{\circ}C$에 소결했을 때 가장 낮은 분극저항을 나타내었다. 또한 양극 후막의 두께가 얇아지면 양극의 in-plane 저항이 증가하여 ohmic 저항이 증가하였는데, LSM-YSZ 복합체 양극의 경우 약 30$mu extrm{m}$ 정도의 전극두께가 가장 효과적인 전극 특성을 나타내었다. 한편, LSM-YSZ 복합체 양극에 -0.5 V의 cathodic potential을 인가함에 따라 양극에서 일어나는 산소환원반응의 활성이 증가하였는데, 1가 산소이온의 표면확산반응의 분극저항은 감소하였으나, 고주파수 영역에서 나타나는 산소이온전달반응의 저항은 거의 변화하지 않았다. 이것은 Mn의 환원에 의한 양극표면에 생성된 산소공공에 기인한다.

Phosphors of $Eu^{2+}$ doped alkaline earth aluminates MA$l_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$ (M=Sr, Ba, Ca) have been prepared by sol-gel process and their characterization of photoluminescence and photocurrent properties have been performed. The phosphors prepared by sol-gel process, due to its advantage of better homogeneity and low synthetic temperature, was synthesized as single phases at lower temperature than the solid-state process; $800{\sim}1000{^{\circ}C}$ for 6 h under mild reduction atmosphere (Ar- 3% $H_2$). It was confirmed that SrA$l_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$ composition revealed the most excellent properties in the brightness and photocurrent.

In aprevious study, the mutual interaction between $Fe_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$ was found to influence the color of celadon glaze. Celadon samples were prepared with varying concentrations of $TiO_2$ at a fixed level of $Fe_2O_3$. The electronic states of Fe and Ti were analyzed by M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy and electron spin-resonance spectroscopy, respectively. These results were examined with the celadon colors measured according to CIELAB values. This study revealed that an increase of $Ti^{3+}$ in the glassy phase decreased the $Fe^{2+}/Fe^{3+}$ ratio, resulting in a color change of the celadon samples in the GY and Y groups. The maximum reflectance wavelength was shifted from 505 nm to 610 nm with an increase in the $TiO_2$ concentration.

Hydrogenation on the top gate and bottom gate Poly-Si TET's was performed by using Nh$_{3}$ plasma and annealing SiN film deposited by PECVD and then the electric characteristics on Poly-Si TET were investigated. As the time of NA$_{3}$ plasma treatment increaes, on/off current ratio gradually increases and the swing value decreases. The trap densities of graim boundaries in Poly-Si decrease very much during the inital 20min of hydrogenation time, and the decreasing scale becomes smaller after 20 min. The electric characteristics of the top gate TFT are better than those of the bottom gate TFT, it is considered due to the defects at the interface between the Poly-Si and the underlayer, SiO$_{2}$. After NH$_{3}$ plasma was treated for 2 hours for the top gate TFT, as the aging time atroon temperature increases on current was not scacely changed and off current decreases more than 1 order. Gate current density recovers to original value after the aging treatment for 8 days and then the electric characteristics are finally improved. It is suggested that the degraded characteristics of gate oxide are improved, from the variations of C-V characteristics with aging time. For the hydrogenation of isothermal and isochronal annealing SiN film deposited by PECVD, the characteristics of Poly-Si TFT are improved with increasing annealing temperature and are not largely changed with increasing annealing time. This results is good in agreement with the hydrogen reduction in Sin film as variations of annealing temperature and time.

Various sizes of erbium/platinum silicided n/p-type Schottky barrier metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (SB-MOSFETs) are manufactured from $20{\mu}m$ to 10nm. The manufactured SB-MOSFETs show excellent DIBL and subthreshold swing characteristics due to the existence of Schottky barrier between source and channel. It is found that the minimization of trap density between silicide and silicon interface and the reduction of the underlap resistance are the key factors for the improvement of short channel characteristics. The manufactured 10 nm n-type SBMOSFET showed $550{\mu}A/um$ saturation current at $V_{GS}-V_T$ = $V_{DS}$ = 2V condition ($T_{ox}$ = 5nm) with excellent short channel characteristics, which is the highest current level compared with reported data.
