The organic field-effect transistors with step-edge structure were fabricated. Source and drain electrodes were obliquely deposited by vacuum evaporation. The step-edge of the gate electrode serve as a shadow mask, and the short channel is formed at the step-edge. The excellent device performances were obtained.

The effect of annealing step-edges of LaAlO$_3$ and MgO single crystal substrates on YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7}$ junction has been studied. The step-edge was fabricated by argon ion milling and was annealed at 105$0^{\circ}C$ in 1 attn oxygen pressure. We compared AFM image near step-edge of the substrates between before and after annealing process. And YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7}$ thin film was deposited on the step-edge by a standard pulsed laser deposition. The step-edge junctions were characterized by current-voltage curves at 77 K. The annealing of step-edges of MgO substrate improved the current-voltage characteristic of Josephson junction: double steps in the current-voltage characteristic disappeared. However the annealing for LaAlO$_3$ did not improve the junction property.rty.

Two methods have been investigated to fabricate good quality step-edge Josephson junctions on STO, MgO, and LAO single crystal substrates. One is the annealing of substrates at 1050$^{\circ}$C in 1 atmospheric oxygen after Ar-ion milling. The other is the cleaning of step-edge by using Ar ion milling. The step-edge is characterized with atomic force microscope (AFM) images. And YBCO thin films are deposited by using pulsed laser. The I-V properties of step-edge junctions are characterized. The yield rate of step-edge junction is increased by new fabrication methods.

에지검출은 영상처리와 컴퓨터비젼의 매우 중요한 연구분야이다. 그리고 일반적인 에지검출 연산자인 Robert, Sobel, Kirsh등의 연산자는 계단에지를 검출하는데는 적합하나 잡음에 매우 민감한 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 영상정보척도와 신경회로망을 이용한 잡음에 매우 강한 계단에지 검출방법을 제안한다. 계단에지의 명암도 분포의 차, 방향성, 연속성, 구조성 등의 계단에지의 기본적인 정보특성을 이용한 함수를 BP 신경회로망의 입력벡터로 구성한 결과 매우 위치가 정확한 계단에지를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 실험 영상으로 장미 영상과 세포영상을 사용하여 매우 만족스런 실험 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Uniformity of critical currents of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7}$ step-edge Josephson junctions on SrTiO$_3$(100) substrates have been studied at various step-line angles. 15 identical junctions were made in series on each substrate that has a long straight step-edge line. Step-line angles studied were 0$^{\circ}$, 15$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$, and 45$^{\circ}$with respect to the crystal major axes of the substrate. Scattering of junction critical currents among the junctions on the same substrate increased with the step-line angle. Current-voltage curves showed standard resistively-shunted-junction (RSJ) characteristics in most of the 0$^{\circ}$junctions. However, the number of junctions showing RSJ behavior decreased with increasing step-line angle. Variations of detailed microstructure of the step-edge among junctions, which are coupled with the d-wave symmetry of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7}$, are believed to be the main cause for the nonuniformity in the critical current.ent.

We have studied properties of step-edge Junction prepared with crystal orientation of sapphire substrate. The Step on sapphire substrates fabricated by conventional photolithography method and Ar ion milling method. $CeO_2$ buffer layer and in-situ YBCO thin film were deposited on the stepped sapphire substrates by a pulsed laser deposition method with the predetermined optimized condition. The step angle was centre fled low angle of about $25^{\circ}$. The YBCO film thickness was varied to obtain various thickness ratios of the film to the step height in a range from 0.7 to 1.2. I-V curves of junction were showed RSJ-behavior, double junction structure, and hysteresis due to the crystal orientation of substrate.

In this paper, we propose the edge compensation algorithm which connects the adjacent edges without losing the information of the skeletons on the edge image. The proposed edge compensation algorithm is composed of succeeding two steps. In the first step, the uplifted image is obtained by applying the uplifting process to the edge image. The next step is to extract the edge image from the uplifted image using the skeleton extraction algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed method connects the adjacent edges without the distortion of the original edge information compared to the traditional method

Step edge Josephson junctions in c-axis oriented $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ films were fabricated on $CeO_2$ buffered sapphire substrates. The step angle was controlled in the wide range of $20^{\circ}\sim75^{\circ}$ by the Ar ion milling technique. I-V curves of junction fabricated on the thickness ratio of $\sim$0.8 and the step angle of $35^{\circ}$ were exhibited RSJ-like behavior with $I_CR_N$ product of $\sim250{\mu}A$ and critical current density of $\sim2\times10^4A/cm^2$ at 77 K. Critical current of step edge junction was increased linearly with decreasing temperature but the normal resistance was almost constant. Total samples of step edge Josephson junction was satisfied a scaling behavior of $I_CR_N{\propto}(J_C)^{0.5}$.

In this paper an experimental study is presented to investigate the effect of a step edge and a stationary droplet on the dynamic behavior of impacting droplet on a wall. The main parameters are the distance from the edge and the center-to-center distance between two droplets. Photographic images are presented to show coalescence dynamics, shape evolution and contact line movement. The emphasis is on presenting the spreading length of droplet for the step edge and two coalescing droplets along their original centers. It is clarified that the droplet exhibits much different dynamic behavior depending on the location of the step edge. The momentum of impacting droplet was better transferred to the stationary droplet as the center- to-center distance between two droplets was reduced, which results in more spreading of coalescing droplet.

We have fabricated and tested a simple circuit of the rapid single-flux-quantum(RSFQ) four-stage shift register using a single layer high-$T_c$ superconducting (HTS) $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) thin film structure with 9 step-edge Josephson junctions. The circuit includes two read superconducting quantum interference devices(SQUID) and four stages. To establish a robust HTS RSFQ device fabrication process, we have focussed on the reproducible process of sharp and straight step-edge formation as well as the ratio of film thickness to step height, t/h. The spread of step-edge junction parameters was measured from each 13 junctions with t/h=1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 at various temperatures. We have demonstrated the simplified operation of the shift register at 65 K.
