  • TEM is a powerful tool for semiconductor material analyses in structure or biological sample in micro structure. TEM observation need to make to coincide specimens for special purpose. in this paper, we have experimented for minimum surface damage on bulk wafer and patterned specimen by various conditions such as accelerating energy, depth of ion beam, ion milling types, and etc. in various specimen preparation methods by FIB (Focus Ion Beam). The optimal qualified specimens are contain low mounts of surface damage(about 5 nm) on patterned specimen.

  • The time-course process by which spermatozoa penetrates through the micropvle apparatus into the egg cytoplasm of rainbow trout, Oncorhvnchus mvkiss, was examined with transmission and scanning electron microscopy. In the unfertilized egg, the ess surface beneath the inner opening of the micropylar canal did not differ distinctly from the rest of the animal pole area. A spermatozoon attached to the micropvle opening 20 seconds after insemination. In the initial stases of penetration, the spermatozoon still within the micropvlar canal attached perpendicularly at its apical tip to the ess surface, then the sperm head was rapidly engulfed by the folded egg surface with its manly microvilli. A large fertilization cone with microvillus-free surface appeared on the esS surface sutra-rounding the penetrating spermatozoon. The head portion of the penetrating spermatozoon was completely wrapped by the ess surface with only the tail portion visible externally 30 seconds after insemination. The fertilization cone displayed the tail portion of the penetrating spermatozoon on the central portion of its surface 60 seconds after insemination. 150 seconds after insemination, breakdown of the cortical granules elevation were initiated at the animal pole, then completed at the vegetable pole area. The spermatozoon disappeared from the outer surface of the ess before the fertilization cone completely retracted 250 seconds after insemination. In result, the block to polvspermv to permit entry of a sin81e sperm is considered to be mechanical by the rnorpholoSical design of the micropvle and fertilization cone.

  • Silver nanoparticles production by the green chemistry approach was investigated using an isolated marine actinomycetes strain. The isolated strain was identified as Streptomyces albidoflavus based on chemotaxonomic and ribotyping properties. The strain revealed production of silver nanoparticles both extracellular and intracellularly. Surface Plasmon Resonance analysis with the function of time revealed that particle synthesis by this strain is reaction time dependent. The produced particles were spherical shaped and monodispersive in nature and showed a single surface plasmon resonance peak at 410 nm. Size distribution histograms indicated production of 10-40-nm-size nanoparticles with a mean size of 14.5 nm. FT-IR spectra of nanopartilces showed N-H, C-H, and C-N stretching vibrations, denoting the presence of amino acid/peptide compounds on the surface of silver nanoparticles produced by S. albidoflavus. Synthesized nanoparticles revealed a mean negative zeta potential and electrophoretic mobility of -8.5 mV and -0.000066 $cm^2/Vs$, respectively. The nanoparticles produced were proteinaceous compounds as capping agents with -8.5 mV zeta potential and revealed antimicrobial activity against both Gram-negative and -positive bacterial strains. Owing to their small size, these particles have greater impact on industrial application spectra.

  • 산업화 이후, 석탄 석유를 중심으로 한 화석연료가 이산화탄소를대량으로 배출하며 지구 온난화를 야기함에 따라, 석유를 대체할 새로운 에너지원에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 많은 대체에너지 가운데, 청정하고 무한 재생 가능한대체에너지를 이야기할 때, 가장 큰 기대를 받고 있는 것은 태양에너지이며, 이에 보조를 맞춰 태양광 발전에 대한 연구개발이 국내외적으로 활발히 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 태양 전지는 빛 에너지를 직접 전기 에너지로 바꿔주는 소자로, 셀의효율을 높이기 위해서는 최대한 많은 빛을 흡수시킬 수 있는 것이 중요하다. 빛의 반사를 줄이는 방법에는 Texturing 과 Antireflecting coating 이있다. Antireflecting coating은 반도체와 공기의 중간 굴절율을 갖는 박막을 증착하여 측면 반사를 감소시킴으로서 빛의 손실을 감소시키는 역활을 한다. 반사 방지막으로 쓰이는 SiNx는 SiOx의 대체 물질로 굴절률이 약 1.5로서 Si에 쉽게 형성시킬 수 있고, texturing된 Si 표면에 적합하며 반사율을 10 %에서 2 %로 줄일 수 있다. 나아가 고성능의 반사방지막은 박막의 균일도확보 및 passivation 공정이 필수적이라 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PECVD 방법으로 SiH4와 NH3 gas 의 비율을 변화시켜 증착한 SiNx 박막의 결정학적 특성을 X-ray Diffraction 분석과 TEM (TransmissionElectron Microsopy) 을 통해 관찰하였으며, XPS (X-rayphotoelectron spectroscopy) 를 통해 화학적결합을 확인하였고, 이를 FT-IR (Fourier Transform-Infrared spectroscopy)를 통해 관찰한 결과와 연관시켜분석하였다. 굴절율의 경우 Ellipsometry를 이용하여측정하였으며 위의 측정을 통하여 SiNx박막의 반사 방지막으로써의 가능성을 확인하였다.
