$AB'_{0.5}B"_{0.5}O_3$ type complex perovskite structures which have been reported as proton conductors over $600^{\circ}C$ were studied. The $AB'_{0.5}B"_{0.5}O_3$ type complex perovskite structure is known to be more easily synthesized and has better stability than normal $ABO_3$ perovskite structure. And it is stable at about $800^{\circ}C$ in the $CO_2$ atmosphere, whereas the $BaCeO_3$ perovskite is easily decomposed into carbonate. In addition, this $AB'_{0.5}B"_{0.5}O_3$ type complex perovskite structure could simply produce oxygen vacancies within their structure not by introducing additional doping oxides but by just controling the molar ratio of $B'^{+3}$ and $B"^{+5}$ metal ions in the B site. Hence it is easy to design the structure which shows highly sensitive electrical conductivity to humidity. In this study, the single phase boundary of $BaR_{0.5+x}Ta_{0.5-x}O_{3-{\delta}}$(R = rare earth) complex perovskite structures and it's phase stability were investigated with changes in composition, x. And the humidity dependance of electrical conductivity at different $P_{H2O}$ conditions was investigated.

Amorphous transparent oxide semiconductors (a-TOS) have been widely studied for many optoelectronic devices such as AM-OLED (active-matrix organic light emitting diodes). Recently, Nomura et al. demonstrated high performance amorphous IGZO (In-Ga-Zn-O) TFTs.1 Despite the amorphous structure, due to the conduction band minimum (CBM) that made of spherically extended s-orbitals of the constituent metals, an a-IGZO TFT shows high mobility.2,3 But IGZO films contain high cost rare metals. Therefore, we need to investigate the alternatives. Because Aluminum has a high bond enthalpy with oxygen atom and Alumina has a high lattice energy, we try to replace Gallium with Aluminum that is high reserve low cost material. In this study, we focused on the electrical properties of IZO:Al thin films as a channel layer of TFTs. IZO:Al were deposited on unheated non-alkali glass substrates (5 cm ${\times}$ 5 cm) by magnetron co-sputtering system with two cathodes equipped with IZO target and Al target, respectively. The sintered ceramic IZO disc (3 inch ${\phi}$, 5 mm t) and metal Al target (3 inch ${\phi}$, 5 mm t) are used for deposition. The O2 gas was used as the reactive gas to control carrier concentration and mobility. Deposition was carried out under various sputtering conditions to investigate the effect of sputtering process on the characteristics of IZO:Al thin films. Correlation between sputtering factors and electronic properties of the film will be discussed in detail.

3μm 게이트 길이를 가지는 n-well CMOS 공정이 개발되었고 이의 응용 가능성을 검토하였다. Thres-hold 전압은 이온주입으로 쉽게 조절할 수 있으며, 3μm 채널 길이에서 short 채널 효과는 무시할 수 있다. Contact 저항에 있어서 Al-n+ 저항값이 커서 VLSI 소자의 제작에 장애 요인이 될 것으로 보인다. CMOS inverter의 transfer 특성은 양호하며, (W/L) /(W/L) =(10/5)/(5/5)인 89단의 ring oscillator로부터 구한 게이트당 전달 지연 시간은 3.4nsec 정도이다. 본 공정의 설계 규칙에서 n-well과 p-substrate에 수 mA의 전류가 흐를 때 latch-up이 일어나며, well 농도와 n+소오스-well간의 간격에 크게 영향을 받는다. 따라서 공정과 설계 규칙의 변화에 따른 latch-up 특성에 집중적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Manganese-incorporated neodymium oxide systems with a variety of Mn mol% were prepared to investigate the effect of doping on the electrical properties of neodymium oxide. XRD, XPS, SEM, DSC, and TG techniques were used to analyze the specimens. The systems containing 2, 5, 8, and 10 mol% Mn were found to be solid solutions by X-ray diffraction analysis and the lattice parameters were obtained for the single-phase hexagonal structure by the Nelson-Riley method. The lattice parameters, a and c, decreased with increasing Mn mol%. Scanning electron photomicrographs of the specimens showed that the grain size decreased with increasing Mn mol%. The curves of log conductivity plotted as a function of 1/T in the temperature range from 500 to 1000$^{\circ}C$ at $PO_2$'s of $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-1}$ atm for the specimens were divided into high-and low-temperature regions with inflection points near 820-890$^{\circ}C$. The activation energies obtained from the slopes were 0.53-0.87 eV for low-temperature region and 1.40-1.91 eV for high-temperature region. The electrical conductivities increased with increasing Mn mol% and $PO_2$, indicating that all the specimens were p-type semiconductors. At $PO_2$'s below $10^{-3}$ atm, the electrical conductivity was affected by the chemisorption of oxygen molecule in the temperature range of 660 to 850$^{\circ}C$. It is suggested that electron holes generated by oxygen incorporation into the oxide are charge carriers for the electrical conduction in the high-temperature region and the system includes ionic conduction owing to the diffusion of oxygen atoms in the low-temperature region.

Silicene, a 2D allotrope of silicon, is predicted to be a potential material for future transistor that might be compatible with present silicon fabrication technology. Similar to graphene, silicene exhibits the honeycomb lattice structure. Consequently, silicene is a semimetallic material, preventing its application as a field-effect transistor. Therefore, this work proposes the uniform doping bandgap engineering technique to obtain the n-type silicene nanosheet. By applying nearest neighbour tight-binding approach and parabolic band assumption, the analytical modelling equations for band structure, density of states, electrons and holes concentrations, intrinsic electrons velocity, and ideal ballistic current transport characteristics are computed. All simulations are done by using MATLAB. The results show that a bandgap of 0.66 eV has been induced in uniformly doped silicene with phosphorus (PSi₃NW) in the zigzag direction. Moreover, the relationships between intrinsic velocity to different temperatures and carrier concentration are further studied in this paper. The results show that the ballistic carrier velocity of PSi₃NW is independent on temperature within the degenerate regime. In addition, an ideal room temperature subthreshold swing of 60 mV/dec is extracted from ballistic current-voltage transfer characteristics. In conclusion, the PSi₃NW is a potential nanomaterial for future electronics applications, particularly in the digital switching applications.

안티모니 (Sb)를 기반으로 한 제2형 초격자 (Type II superlattice, T2SL)구조 적외선 검출기 연구는 2000년대 들어 Sb 계열의 화합물 반도체 성장 기술이 발전함에 따라 HgCdTe (MCT), InSb, 양자우물 적외선 검출기 (QWIP)를 대체할 수 있는 고성능의 양자형 적외선 검출 소재로 부상하였으며, 현재 전 세계적으로 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히, 기존의 양자형 적외선 검출소자에 비해 전자의 유효질량이 상대적으로 커서 밴드 간의 투과전류가 줄어들 뿐만 아니라, 전자와 정공이 서로 다른 물질 영역에 분포하여 Auger 재결합률을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있어 상온 동작이 가능한 소재로 주목을 받고 있다. 또한, T2SL 구조는 초격자를 구성하는 물질의 두께나 조성 변화를 통한 밴드갭 변조가 용이하여 단파장에서 장파장 적외선에 이르는 광범위한 파장 대역에서 동작이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 구조적 변화를 통해 이중 대역을 동시에 검출 할 수 있는 차세대 적외선 열영상 소자로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 분자선 에피택시(MBE)법을 이용하여 300 주기의 InAs/GaSb (10/10 ML) 제2형 초격자 구조를 성장하여 적외선 검출소자를 제작하였다. 제2형 초격자 구조를 구성하는 물질계에 p-type dopant인 Be을 이용하여 각각 도핑 농도가 다른 시료를 성장하였다. 이때 p-type 도핑 농도는 각각 $1/5/10{\times}10^{15}cm^{-3}$로 변화를 주었다. 성장된 시료의 구조적 특성 분석을 위해 고분해능 X선 회절 (High resolution X-ray diffraction, HRXRD)법을 이용하였으며, 초격자 한 주기의 두께가 6.2~6.4 nm 로 설계된 구조와 동일하게 성장됨을 확인 하였으며, 1차 위성피크의 반치폭은 30~80 arcsec로 우수한 결정성을 가짐을 확인하였다. 적외선 검출을 위한 $410{\times}410{\mu}m^2$ 크기의 단위 소자 공정을 진행하였으며 이때 적외선의 전면 입사를 위해 소자 위에 $300{\mu}m$의 윈도우 창을 제작하였다. 단위 소자의 측벽에는 표면 누설 전류가 흐르는데 이를 방지하기 위해서 표면보호막을 증착하였다. 적외선 검출 소자의 전기적 특성 평가를 위해 각각의 시료의 암전류 (dark current)와 파장별 반응 (spectral response)을 온도별로 측정하여 비교 및 분석하였다.

Tetrahydroisoquinoline (THI) alkaloids can be considered as cyclized derivatives of simple phenylethylamines. Many of them, especially with 6,7-disubstitution, demonstrate a relatively high affinity for catecholamines. Present study examines the pharmacological action of limited series of THI, using rats' isolated atria and aorta. In addition, a $[^3H]$ prazosin displacement binding study with THI compounds was performed, using rat brain homogenates to investigate whether these probes have ?${\alpha}$-adrenoceptor affinity. We also compared the vascular relaxation potency of these probes with dobutamine. YS 49, YS 51, higenamine and dobutamine, concentration-dependently, relaxed endothelium-denuded rat thoracic aorta precontracted with phenylephrine (PE, 0.1 ${\mu}M$) in which $pEC_{50}$ were $5.56{\pm}0.32$ and $5.55{\pm}0.21$, $5.99{\pm}1.16$ and $5.57{\pm}0.34$, respectively. These probes except higenamine also relaxed KCl (65.4 mM)-contracted aorta. In isolated rat atria, all THIs and dobutamine increased heart rate and contractile force. In the presence of propranolol, the concentration response curves of YS 49 and YS 51 shifted to the right and resulted in $pA_2$ values of $8.07{\pm}0.84$ and $7.93{\pm}0.11$, respectively. The slope of each compound was not deviated from unity, indicating that these chemicals are highly competitive at the cardiac ?${\beta}-adrenoceptors$. YS 49, YS 51, and higenamine showed ?${\alpha)-adrenoceptor$ affinity in rat brain, in which the dissociation constant $(K_i)$ was 2.75, 2.81, and 1.02 ${\mu}M$, respectively. It is concluded, therefore, that THI alkaloids have weak affinity to ${\alpha)_1-adrenoceptor$ in rat aorta and brain, respectively, while these probes show relatively high affinity for cardiac ${\beta}-adrenoceptors$. Thus, these chemicals may be useful in the treatment of congestive heart failure.

Graphene, two dimensional single layer of carbon atoms, has tremendous attention due to its superior property such as high electron mobility, high thermal conductivity and optical transparency. Especially, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown graphene has been used as a promising material for high quality and large-scale graphene film. Unfortunately, although CVD-grown graphene has strong advantages, application of the CVD-grown graphene is limited due to ineffective transfer process that delivers the graphene onto a desired substrate by using polymer support layer such as PMMA(polymethyl methacrylate). The transferred CVD-grown graphene has serious drawback due to remaining polymeric residues generated during transfer process, which induces the poor physical and electrical characteristics by a p-doping effect and impurity scattering. To solve such issue incurred during polymer transfer process of CVD-grown graphene, various approaches including thermal annealing, chemical cleaning, mechanical cleaning have been tried but were not successful in getting rid of polymeric residues. On the other hand, lithographical patterning of graphene is an essential step in any form of microelectronic processing and most of conventional lithographic techniques employ photoresist for the definition of graphene patterns on substrates. But, application of photoresist is undesirable because of the presence of residual polymers that contaminate the graphene surface consistent with the effects generated during transfer process. Therefore, in order to fully utilize the excellent properties of CVD-grown graphene, new approach of transfer and patterning techniques which can avoid polymeric residue problem needs to be developed. In this work, we carried out transfer and patterning process simultaneously with no polymeric residue by using a metal etch mask. The patterned thin gold layer was deposited on CVD-grown graphene instead of photoresists in order to make much cleaner and smoother surface and then transferred onto a desired substrate with PMMA, which does not directly contact with graphene surface. We compare the surface properties and patterning morphology of graphene by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy(AFM) and Raman spectroscopy. Comparison with the effect of residual polymer and metal on performance of graphene FET will be discussed.

Perovskite $Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3[PNN-PZT]$ ceramics were synthesized by conventional ceramic processing technique. In order to modify piezoelectric properties for sensor application in this system, NiO addition was considered to provide $Ni^{+2}$ as an acceptor, which was known to occupy with B site in the structure. The effect of NiO addition up to $8\;mol\%$ on the following piezoelectric properties as well as sintering properties was investigated. When NiO added more than $1\;mol\%$, average grain size was decreased and second phase was found to form. Moreover, the second phase caused decrease in relative dielectric constant $(\varepsilon_{33}T/\varepsilon0)$, electro-mechanical coupling factor $(k_p)$, and piezoelectric charge constant $(d_{33})$, while increasing mechanical quality factor $(Q_m)$. When $1\;mol\%$ NiO was added, density, dielectric properties and piezoelectric properties were abruptly increased.
