In this paper, microstrip photonic bandgap (PBG) structure with special perforation patterns etched on the line itself is analyzed and optimized in shape, then used for harmonic tuning of power amplifier. This PBG has an advantage in being fabricated and grounded. The dimension of unit lattice is enlarged vertically, but its input and output line maintain 50 Ω using tapered line. This modification from original structure can lessen possible error in etching PCB. The analysis and design of PBG structure are acquired from using EM simulation. The measured insertion loss of the final structure is 0.3 ∼0.4 dB, and its bandwidth of stopband is 6∼7 GHz. Measured results of improved characteristics by using PBG structure at the output of the power amplifier are 0.72∼0.99 dB in output power, 1.14∼7.8 % in PAE, and 1 dBc in the third IMD.

This study describes a conductive fabric sensor and determines an optimum excitation frequency of the sensor to evaluate knee joint movements. Subjects were composed of 15 males (age: $30.7{\pm}5.3$) with no known problems with their knee joints. The upper side of subjects' lower limbs was divided into two areas and the lower side of subjects' lower limbs was divided into three areas. The sensors were attached to 1 for 3 spot from a hip joint and to 3 for 4 spot from a knee joint which are the optimum conductive fabric sensor configuration to evaluate knee joint movements. As a result, the optimum excitation frequency for evaluating knee joint movements using conductive fabric sensors was 25 kHz. Average and standard deviation of bio-impedance changes from 15 subjects were $92.1{\pm}137.2{\Omega}$ at 25 kHz. The difference of bio-impedance changes between 25 kHz and 50 kHz was statistically significant (p<0.05) and the difference of bio-impedance changes between 25 kHz and 100 kHz was also statistically significant (p<0.001). These results showed that conductive fabric sensors are more sensitive to measure bio-impedance for evaluating knee joint movements as an excitation frequency decreases.

Ni/Ti/Al multilayer system ('/'denotes the deposition sequence) was tested for low-resistance ohmic contact formation to Al-implanted p-type 4H-SiC. Ni 30 nm / Ti 50 nm / Al 300 nm layers were sequentially deposited by e-beam evaporation on the 4H-SiC samples which were implanted with Al (norminal doping concentration = $4\times10^{19}cm^{-3}$) and then annealed at $1700^{\circ}C$ for dopant activation. Rapid thermal anneal (RTA) temperature for ohmic contact formation was varied in the range of $840\sim930^{\circ}C$. Specific contact resistances were extracted from the measured current vs. voltage (I-V) data of linear- and circular transfer length method (TLM) patterns. In constrast to Ni contact, Ni/Ti/Al contact shows perfectly linear I-V characteristics, and possesses much lower contact resistance of about $2\sim3\times10^{-4}\Omega{\cdot}cm^2$ even after low-temperature RTA at $840^{\circ}C$, which is about 2 orders of magnitude smaller than that of Ni contact. Therefore, it was shown that RTA temperature for ohmic contact formation can be lowered to at least $840^{\circ}C$ without significant compromise of contact resistance. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated the existence of intermetallic compounds of Ni and Al as well as $NiSi_{1-x}$, but characteristic peaks of $Ti_{3}SiC_2$, a probable narrow-gap interfacial alloy responsible for low-resistance Ti/Al ohmic contact formation, were not detected. Therefore, Al in-diffusion into SiC surface region is considered to be the dominant mechanism of improvement in conduction behavior of Ni/Ti/Al contact.

The a-Si:H TFT using ferroelectric of SrTi $O_3$as a gate insulator is fabricated on glass. Dielectric characteristics of ferroelectric are superior to $SiO_2$and S $i_3$ $N_4$. Ferroelctric increases on-current, decreases thresh old voltage of TFT and also improves breakdown characteristics. The a-SiN:H has optical band gap of 2.61 eV, refractive index of 1.8~2.0 and resistivity of 10$^{13}$ - 10$^{15}$ $\Omega$cm, respectively. Insulating characteristics of ferroelectrics are excellent because dielectric constant of ferroelectric is about 60~100 and breakdown strength is over 1MV/cm. TFT using ferroelectric has channel length of 8~20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and channel width of 80~200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. And it shows that drain current is 3.4$mutextrm{A}$ at 20 gate voltage, $I_{on}$ / $I_{off}$ is a ratio of 10$^{5}$ - 10$^{8}$ and $V_{th}$ is 4~5 volts, respectively. In the case of TFT without ferroelectric, it indicates that the drain current is 1.5 $mutextrm{A}$ at 20 gate voltage and $V_{th}$ is 5~6 volts. With the improvement of the ferroelectric thin film properties, the performance of TFT using this ferroelectric has advanced as a gate insulator fabrication technology is realized.zed.d.

다중 코어를 이용한 대전류 변압기용 Mn-Zn ferrite를 제조하고 전자기적 특성을 분석하였으며, 제조된 자심재료를 이용하여 변압기를 제조하고 전원장치에 탑재하여 효율특성을 분석하였다. ZnO의 몰비가 증가할수록 혼합 스피넬의 형성을 통한 보아 자자의 증가로 인해 투자율은 증가하고 상대적으로 전력손실이 감소하여 $Fe_2O_3$ : MnO : ZnO = 53 : 36 : 11 mo\% 일 때 가장 우수한 특성을 나타냈고, 열처리 공정의 승온 과정에서부터 산소 분압을 제어하고 최적의 대기압 상수를 산출함으로써 Zn-loss 현상을 최소화하여 ZnO 11 mol%, 대기압 상수 7.7일 때 투자율 2350, 밀도 4.9 $g/cm^3$, 비저항 480 ${\Omega}cm$, 300 mT의 최대 자속 밀도 특성을 갖는 우수한 자심 재료를 개발하였다. 그리고 최소 손실 온도를 $90^{\circ}C$ 이하로 감소시켰으며 100 kHz에서 250 $kW/m^3$의 낮은 전력손실을 나타냈다. 또한 개발된 자심재료를 이용하여 제조된 전원장치는 30~80A의 출력 전류에서 85% 이상의 고효율을 얻었다.

현재 화석연료의 부족으로 인한 에너지 수급의 불균형, 자연환경의 파괴로 인해 대체에너지 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위한 방안으로 태양전지에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 기존 결정형 실리콘 태양전지와 비교해 화합물 반도체를 기반으로 한 박막형 태양전지는 친환경적인 제품이면서 제조원가를 절감시킬 수 있고, 반영구적인 수명 및 값싼 기판을 활용할 수 있는 장점으로 인해 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 Co-sputtering법으로 제작된 $CuInSe_2$(CIS)를 광활성층으로 한 박막형 태양전지에서 실온 ${\sim}550^{\circ}C$의 다양한 온도에서 후열 처리된 CIS 박막들의 전기적, 구조적, 광학적인 특성들을 분석하였다. 제작된 박막들 가운데 Hall Effect 측정결과 $550^{\circ}C$에서 후열 처리된 박막이 가장 높은 1.227E+22(/$cm^3$)의 캐리어 농도와 1.581(cm/$V{\cdot}s$)의 홀 이동도를 가지며, 3.092E-4(${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$)의 가장 낮은 비저항 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. EFM 측정결과 열처리 하지 않은 박막에 비해 후열처리된 CIS 박막의 전도성이 전체적으로 높아졌다. 특히, $550^{\circ}C$에서 후열 처리된 박막의 표면은 전체적으로 전기 전도성이 높은 결정립들이 골고루 분포하며 가장 높은 표면 포텐셜 에너지 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 박막들의 구조적 특성을 분석하기 위해 SEM과 XRD를 측정한 결과, $350^{\circ}C$에서 후열 처리된 박막들은 열처리 되지 않은 박막과 비교해 표면형상 변화가 일어났으며, $550^{\circ}C$에서 후열 처리된 CIS 박막들은 $CuInSe_2$(112) 방향이 향상된 chalcopyrite-like 구조를 가지면서 박막 밀도가 높고 결정립의 크기가 증가된 것을 확인하였다. 이는 박막 성장시 기판온도의 상승으로 CIS 박막 내에서 셀레늄의 확산과 상호작용으로 3원 화합물이 재결정화되어 구조적인 특성향상에 기여하였기 때문이다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 CIS 광활성층에서 후열 처리의 효과들 뿐만아니라 박막 증착시 co-sputtering법을 이용함으로써 증착시간의 감소 및 대면적화와 대량생산으로도 적용 가능함을 제시하고자 한다.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of additives on the mechanical and electrical characteristics of electrodeposited copper foils. Additives A(leveler) and B(brightener) were used in this study and Cl ions were used as an accelerator. In case of using these additives A and B, it showed a disadvantage that decreased the elongation of electrodeposited layer due to decreased grain sizes and increased tensile strength. On the other hand, the Cl ions decreased the specific resistance of the copper layer and increased elongation owing to increasing grain sizes. The highest elongation and lowest resistivity were measured in the group added only Cl ions, whose values were 21.9% and $3.11{\mu}\Omega$-cm, respectively.

The present study investigates the convective heat/mass transfer characteristics in wavy ducts of a primary surface heat exchanger. The effects of duct aspect ratio and flow velocity on the heat/mass transfer are investigated. Local heat/mass transfer coefficients on the corrugated duct sidewall are determined using a naphthalene sublimation technique. The aspect ratios of the wavy duct are 7.3, 4.7 and 1.8 with the corrugation angle of $145\Omega$. The Reynolds numbers, based on the duct hydraulic diameter, vary from 300 to 3,000. The results show that at the low Re(Re $\leq$ 1000) the secondary vortices called Taylor-Gortler vortices perpendicular to the main flow direction are generated due to effect of duct curvature. By these secondary vortices, non-uniform heat/mass transfer coefficients distributions appear. As the aspect ratio decreases, the number of cells formed by secondary vortices are reduced and secondary vortices and comer vortices mix due to decreased aspect ratio at Re$\leq$1000. At Re >1000, the effects of corner vortices become stronger. The average Sh for the aspect ratio of 7.3 and 4.7 are almost same. But at the small aspect ratio of 1.8, the average Sh decreases due to decreased aspect ratio. More pumping power (pressure loss) is required for the larger aspect ratio due to the higher flow instability.

We developed and validated species-specific primers for Branchiostegus japonicus and Branchiostegus albus to prevent the sale of B. albus as B. japonicus. Primers for B. japonicus and B. albus were designed against the cytochrome b gene. Multiplex PCR showed a 288 bp amplicon for B. japonicus, a 159 bp amplicon for B. albus, and a 502 bp amplicon for the internal control. The PCR product bands for B. japonicus, B. albus, and the internal control were present at 1 ng each. The specificity and sensitivity of the primers developed in this study were validated by testing 38 B. japonicus strains and 13 B. albus strains. Using this monitoring method, fake fish did not appear due to the agreement between the experimental results and the species. Therefore, the developed multiplex PCR method was suitable for differentiating B. japonicus and B. albus.

This study examined biochemical components, fatty acids, antioxidant dipeptides, and muscle fiber density of breast and thigh muscles from Korean new native chicken strains (A and B) at two slaughter ages, compared with white semi-broiler (W) or broilers. The pH values were different by chicken breed. The new native strains had the lowest fat content in the breast at 12 wk (p<0.05). Regardless of the muscles, A and B at 12 wk had higher levels of arachidonic acid (ARA; C20:4), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6), and nervonic acid (C24:1) than broilers (p<0.05). A similar result was observed for the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids ratio (P/S) content in the breast. Irrespective of the muscles, A and B enriched with omega-3 fatty acids had a lower ω-6/ω-3 PUFA ratio than broilers (p<0.05) at 12 wk. Of the antioxidant di-peptides, the anserine contents were highest in A and B than in the W or broilers (p<0.05), regardless of the muscles and slaughter ages. Furthermore, the breast meat from A and B contained a higher muscle fiber density for both slaughter ages than the W and broilers (p<0.05). Based on these findings, even if the commercial birds (broilers or W) are raised under the similar environmental conditions as A and B, the new native chicken strains have distinct meat quality attributes, particularly higher ARA and DHA levels, lower ω-6/ω-3 PUFA ratio, and higher anserine contents.
