A novel surface-attached solid dispersion is designed to improve the solubility and oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs without crystalline change. Accordingly, it draws increasing interest because of excellent stability and no pollution for accomplishing enhanced solubility and bioavailability, which have recently been highlighted in connection with a number of higher value-added poorly water-soluble drugs. In addition, excellent stability can be attained when the poorly water-soluble drugs are not dissolved but dispersed in water and provide no crystallinity change. This solid dispersion is given by means of attaching the dissolved carriers such as hydrophilic polymer and surfactant to the surface of dispersed drug particles followed by changing the hydrophobic drug to hydrophilic form. The aim of the present review is to outline the preparation, physicochemical property and bioavailability of novel surface-attached solid dispersion with improved solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs without crystalline change.

Al thin film was the most popular electrode in semiconductor and flat panel display world, because of its electrical conductivity, selectivity and easy to apply to thin film. However, Al thin films were not good to use on the bottom electrode about the crystalline growth of inorganic compound materials such as ZnO, AlN and GaN, because of its surface roughness and melting points. In this paper, we investigated Ar plasma surface treatment of Al thin film to enhance the surface roughness and electrical conductivity using the reactive ion etching system. Several process conditions such as RF power, working pressure and process time were controlled. In results, the surface roughness showed $15.53\;{\AA}$ when RF power was 100 W, working pressure was 50 mTorr and process time was 10 min. Also, we tried to deposit ZnO thin films on the each Al thin films, the upper conditions showed the best crystalline characteristics by x-ray diffraction.

Texturing for crystalline silicon solar cells is one of the important techniques to increase conversion efficiency by effective photon trapping. Generally, incoming wafers or alkali etched wafers are used for texturing. From this conventional etching process, $7{\sim}10{\mu}m$-sized random pyramids are formed. In this study, acid etching for removal of saw damages was practiced before texturing. This improved the resulting surface morphology, which consisted of $2{\sim}4{\mu}m$-sized pyramids. Because these pyramids covered the surface much more extensively, we obtained reduction of optical losses on the surface. In order to compare with conventional texturing, FE-SEM is used for observing surface morphology and reflectance data is analyzed by UV-VIS spectrophotometer.

(Ti1-xAlx)N films were deposited on high speed steel and silicon substrates by reactive sputtering in mixed $Ar-N_2$ discharges. Crystalline phases and microhardness of ($Ti_1_xAl_x$)N films were investigated with variation of the film composition and substrate RF bias voltage. With Al content x of about 0.6, crystalline phase of ( $Ti_1_xAl_x$N films was changed from single-phase NaCl structure to two phase mixture of NaCl and wurtzite structures: Microhardness of ($Ti_1_xAl_x$)N films was largely improved by applying RF bias voltage above 50 V during deposition. Hardness of ($Ti_1_xAl_x$)N films reached a maximum value for Al content x of about 0.4, and 1900 kg/$mm^2$ was obtained for 1$\mu m$-thick ($Ti_{0.6}Al_{0.4}$)N films.

In this paper, we investigated the electrical properties of crystalline silicon solar cell fabricated with Ni/Cu/Ag plating. The laser process was used to ablate silicon nitride layer as well as to form the selective emitter. Phosphoric acid layer was spin-coated to prevent damage caused by laser and formed selective emitter during laser process. As a result, the contact resistance was decreased by lower sheet resistance in electrode region. Low sheet resistance was obtained by increasing laser current, but efficiency and open circuit voltage were decreased by damage on the wafer surface. KOH treatment was used to remove the laser damage on the silicon surface prior to metalization of the front electrode by Ni/Cu/Ag plating. Ni and Cu were plated for each 4 minutes and 16 minutes and very thin layer of Ag with $1{\mu}m$ thickness was plated onto Ni/Cu electrode for 30 seconds to prevent oxidation of the electrode. The silicon solar cells with KOH treatment showed the 0.2% improved efficiency compared to those without treatment.

Aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$) film deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) is known to supply excellent surface passivation properties on crystalline Si surface. The quality of passivation layer is important for high-efficiency silicon solar cell. double-layer structures have many advantages over single-layer materials. $Al_2O_3/SiN_X$ passivation stacks have been widely adopted for high- efficiency silicon solar cells. The first layer, $Al_2O_3$, passivates the surface, while $SiN_X$ acts as a hydrogen source that saturates silicon dangling bonds during annealing treatment. We explored the properties on passivation film of $Al_2O_3/SiN_X$ stack layer with changing the conditions. For the post annealing temperature, it was found that $500^{\circ}C$ is the most suitable temperature to improvement surface passivation.

Efficient and inexpensive solar cells are necessary for photo-voltaic to be widely adopted for mainstream electricity generation. For this to occur, the recombination losses of charge carriers (i.e. electrons or holes) must be minimized using a surface passivation technique suitable for manufacturing. Recently it has been shown that aluminum oxide thin films are negatively charged dielectrics that provide excellent surface passivation of silicon solar cells to attract positive-charged holes. Especially aluminum oxide thin film is a quite suitable passivation on the rear side of p-type silicon solar cells. This paper, it demonstrate the interfacial microstructure and electrical properties of mono-crystalline silicon surface passivated by $Al_2O_3$ films during firing process as applied for screen-printed solar cells. The first task is a comparison of the interfacial microstructure and chemical bonds of PECVD $Al_2O_3$ and of PEALD $Al_2O_3$ films for the surface passivation of silicon. The second is to study electrical properties of double-stacked layers of PEALD $Al_2O_3$/PECVD SiN films after firing process in the temperature range of $650{\sim}950^{\circ}C$.

Due to the rapid development of wireless networking system, researches on the communication devices are mainly focus on microwave frequency devices such as filters, resonators, and phase shifters. Among them, Film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) has been paid extensive attentions for their high performance. In this research, ZnO thin films were deposited by RF-magnetron sputtering on Al/$SiO_2$/Si wafer and then crystalline properties and surface morphology were examined. To measure crystalline structure and surface morphology X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) were employed. It was showed that crystalline properties of ZnO thin films were strongly dependant on the deposition conditions. As increasing the deposition temperature and the deposition pressures, the peak intensities of ZnO(002) plane were increased until $300^{\circ}C$, then decreased rapidly. At the sputtering conditions of RF power of 213 W and working pressure of 15 m Torr, ZnO film had excellent c-axis orientation, surface morphology, and adhesion to the substrate. In conclusion we optimized smooth surface with very small grains as well as highly c-axis oriented ZnO film for FBAR applications.
