박막 방식의 CIGS 태양전지는 공정이 복잡하고 대면적화가 어렵다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 후막 방식을 이용한 CIGS 태양전지에 대한 연구의 필요성이 대두되어지고 있다. 스크린 프린팅과 같은 후막공정은 나노 CIGS powder가 필요하다. CIGS 합성 방법 중에 solvothermal 방식이 다른 방식에 비해 균일한 크기의 구형의 나노입자를 대량생산이 쉽기 때문에 많이 연구되어지고 있다. 선행 연구 결과들은 CIS, CIGS 및 CGS는 solvothermal 법으로 합성 시 3개의 상이 모두 합성되며, 합성조건에 따라 상의 조성의 조절이 되지 않는다. 따라서 현재까지 solvothermal 법으로는 단일상의 CIGS 상의 합성이 보고되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는, solvothermal 방식을 이용하여 후막공정을 위한 CIGS powder를 합성하였다. 원료, 용매 및 합성 온도 등의 변화에 따른 상의 변화를 측정하였고, 원료의 농도에 따른 powder의 크기 및 형상을 제어 하였다. 또한 CIGS powder를 이용하여 페이스트을 제조한 후, 이 페이스트를 가지고 태양전지를 위한 치밀한 후막을 제조할 수 있었다.

반도체 집적도의 비약적인 발전으로 복잡하고 다양한 공정이 연구되었고 공정 중 박막에서 발생되는 물리적, 화학적 반응들에 대한 연구 필요성이 대두 되었다. 박막은 다양한 공정 환경에서 박막의 특성을 잃지 않고 물성을 유지하여야 한다. 특히 공정상의 고온 환경에서 박막은 안정해야하며 물리적손상이 있어서는 안 된다. 이 논문에서는 반도체의 기판으로 사용되는 Si기판과 금속배선 물질인 Cu와의 확산을 효과적으로 방지하기 위한 W-C-N 확산방지막을 제시하였고 시료 증착을 위하여 rf magnetron sputter를 사용하여 동일한 증착조건에서 질소(N)의 비율을 다르게 하여 박막 내 질소비율(0 sccm, 2 sccm)에 따른 확산방지막을 제작하였다. 이후 시료의 열적 안정성 측정을 위하여 상온, 600도, 800도로 각각 질소 분위기에서 30분간 열처리 과정을 실시하여 열적 손상을 인가하였다. 이후 Nanoindentation기법을 이용하여 총 16 point 측정을 하였다. 이를 Weibull distribution으로 분석하여 정량화 시켜 박막의 균일도와 신뢰도를 연구하였다. 또 WET-SPM을 이용하여 AFM 표면 이미지를 확인하였다. 그 결과 고온에서 박막이 Compressive stress를 받아 박막이 일어남을 확인 하였다. 이는 질화물질이 고온에서 물성변화가 적게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었고, 균일도와 결정성 또한 질화물질에서 더 안정적이었다.

CIGS 박막 태양전지는 일반적으로 soda-lime glass(SLG)를 기판으로 사용하여 SLG/Mo/CIGS/CdS/ZnO/ITO/Grid의 구조로 제작된다. 하지만 SLG를 기판으로 사용할 경우, 유리의 특성상 무게가 무겁고, 유연성이 없기 때문에 건축물 적용에 적합하지 않다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 가볍고 유연한 금속 및 폴리이미드 기판을 이용한 CIGS 태양전지가 널리 연구되고 있다. 그러나, 폴리이미드 기판의 경우, 특성이 우수한 CIGS 박막을 얻기 위한 고온 공정을 사용할 수 없기 때문에 이에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 CIGS 박막 태양전지 제작을 위한 폴리이미드 기판의 특성과 그 위에 형성한 후면 전극의 특성을 논의하고자 한다. 4종류의 폴리이미드 기판에 대한 열 특성을 시차주사열량계(differential scanning calorimeter)와 열중량분석기(thermogravimetric analysis), 열기계분석기(thermo mechanical anaylsis)를 이용해 분석하였다. 또한 Mo 후면 전극을 DC-sputter를 이용해 형성한 후, XRD와 AFM, 4-point probe를 이용하여 결정성 및 표면 거칠기, 면저항을 분석하였다. 결정성과 거칠기는 SLG에 증착했을 때와 동일한 결과를 보였으며, 면저항은 폴리이미드 필름에 증착 할 경우 더 크게 측정되었다. 본 연구는 중소기업청 산연기술개발사업(SL122689) 및 과학기술연합대학원대학교(UST)의 지원을 받아 수행된 "공동연구 지원사업"의 연구결과입니다.

Effects of Co and Co-P catalysts on the hydrolysis of alkaline $NaBH_4$ solution were investigated. Co and Co-P catalysts were prepared on Cu substrate by electroplating. Hydrogen generation rate of Co-P catalyst was much faster than that of Co catalyst, demonstrating that Co-P had higher intrinsic catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of $NaBH_4$ than Co. Hydrogen generation properties of Co-P catalysts largely depended on cathodic current density and electroplating time because they influenced on the P concentration of the Co-P catalysts. Maximum hydrogen generation rate of Co-P catalyst was 1066 ml/min.g-catalyst in 1 wt.% NaOH + 10 wt.% $NaBH_4$ solution at $20^{\circ}C$, which was obtained at cathodic current density of $0.01\;A/cm^2$ for 130 s.

We explain optical and electrical properties of top and bottom-emission structured alternating-current powder electroluminescent devices (ACPELDs) with Ga-doped ZnO(GZO) transparent electrode. The top-emission ACPELDs were layered as the metal electrode/dielectric layer/emission layer/top transparent electrode and the bottom-emission ACPELDs were structured as the bottom transparent electrode/emission layer/dielectric layer/metal electrode. The yellow-emitting ZnS:Mn, Cu phosphor and the barium titanate dielectric layers were layered through the screen printing method. The GZO transparent electrode was deposited by the sputtering, its sheet resistivity is $275{\Omega}/{\Box}$. The transparency at the yellow EL peak was 98 % for GZO. Regardless of EL structures, EL spectra of ACPELDs were exponentially increased with increasing voltages and they were linearly increased with increasing frequencies. It suggests that the EL mechanism was attributed to the impact ionization by charges injected from the interface between emitting phosphor layer and the transparent electrode. The top-emission structure obtained higher EL intensity than the bottom-structure. In addition, charge densities for sinusoidal applied voltages were measured through Sawyer-Tower method.

PIXE( Proton Induced X- ray Emission ) analysis has been applied to the analysis of aerosol for the Purpose of pollution monitoring. Coarse and fine Particle fractions were sampled selectively, using Nuclepore filter in stacked filter units, once a month from February to September in 1993 at urban and rural sites. Concentration of 9 elements, Si, S, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn and Pb was determined without Pretreatment of Samples. Comparison of data between urban and rural site revealed higher elemental concentration level in urban aerosol. From April to May aerosol sampling was carried out daily to observe the effect of Yellow Sand on the composition of aerosol in the Korean Peninsula. During the Yellow Sand period, Si, Ca, Fe content level in aerosol became more than 5 times higher than normal. The elemental concentration of the aerosol samples of Daejeon City was compared with that of two foreign cities. S and Pb( which are fuel- derived elements) levels in Daejeon City aerosol appeared to be lower than those of foreign cities. And it may be due to the leaded-fuel restriction policy of Korean government since 1987.

The Weolagsan area consists of four units; (1) Low grade meta-sediments of the upper members of Ogcheon age unknown group such as Changri (mainly black slate and phyllitic rock), Majeonri (mainly alternation of slate, limestone and chert) and Hwanggangri Formation (pebble bearing phyllitic sediments); (2) Samtaesan Formation of Chosun System of Ordovician; (3) So called meta-volcanics and (4) Weolagsan Granite and its associations which intruded above mentioned meta-sediments and meta-volcanics. This study was focused to know the Woelagsan granite and its metasomatic effects to the country rocks petrographically and petrochemically. According to the field survey, microscopic work and some chemical analysis, the granite is a "normal granite" based on the Streckeisen's classification and belongs to a mass of the Central-zone younger group in Ogcheon geosynclinal belt. The granite metasomatized the country rocks along its northern contact zone. Zone of calcareous and cherty rocks (Majeonri formation) was silicified partly and skarned locally at the contact with the granite. The chemical analysis of the zone show no difinite variations in contents of $SiO_2$ and CaO with the distance from the granite. It seems to be indicated that the silicification of this part was not so metasomatized by the granite body, but thermally affected as much as to be partially remelted in the specific parts of the formations. Meta-volcanic rock zone was slightly chloritized near contact with the granite. Limestone of Samtaesan Formation was silicified and skarned along the contact zone by the granite body. The chemical analysis of the zone show some noticiable changes in compositions of $SiO_2$ and CaO with distance from the granite boundary. It can be imagined that the silicification of this zone was metasomatically originated by Woelagsan Granite. According to chemical analysis on several trace elements, the ratio of Zn/Cr and Ni/Cr are relatively higher than that of Cu/Cr in the above mentioned silicified zones. Generally the variation of these metal elements in the zones tend to be regular with distance from the granite body.

To clarify of chemical contents for the Keumsan ginseng, two attempts have been done for two year: 2 year and 4 year-ginsengs coilected from the phyllite(Ph0 and granite area(Gr), and 1 year, 2 year and 3 year-ginsengs collected from the phyllite(Ph), shale(Sh) and granite (Gr), In the first attempt, the soil contents of the Ph are high in most of elements. In the comparisons between ages of the ginseng, regardless the area, most of the elements are high in the 4 year and these trends are distinctive in the granite area. In the comparisons of the areas, 2 year-ginsengs of the Ph show high contents in the most of the elements. Comparisons between upper part(leaf and branch) and root part of the ginsengs show that in the 2 year-ginseng, the Gr is high in the root part and the Ph is high in the upper part, while in the 4 year-ginseng, most of the elements are high in the root part. Comparisons between contents of soil and ginsengs show similar in crease and decrese trends. However, the 2 year-ginsengs show clear differences between two areas while in the 4 year-ginseng, differences between the Gr and Ph is not clear. It suggest that the ginsengs absorb eligible element contents with ages, despite of clear content differences of the different soils. In the second attempt, the Gr shows high W, Pb, Th, U, Sn and B contents wlile Ph and Sh show high Ni, Cr, Co, Sc, V, As, Cu and Zn contents. In the comparisons between ages of the ginseng, regardless the area, most of the elements are high in the 2 year, especially in the Gr and Ph. In the comparisons of the areas, 2 year-ginsengs of the Gr show low contents in the most of the elements, and the S1 show higher Ni, V, Th and U contents than the Ph. 3 year-ginsengs of the Gr show low contents in the most of the elements, while the S1 show high contents in the most of elements. relative to the Ph. Comparisons between upper part and root part of the ginsengs show that in the ginseng, regardless the ages, the upper part is high. Comparisons between contents of soil and ginsengs show similar increase and decrese trends, and soil is low than the ginsengs in the most of the elements

The root of Adenophora triphylla is widely used as traditional herbal medicine in Korea. We studied its effects on sodium nitroprusside (SNP) cytotoxicity and antioxidant genes expression in HepG2 cells. To study whether Adenophora triphylla ethylacetate extract (ATea) inhibited NO-induced cell death, HepG2 cells were preincubated for 24 hr with 50 and 100 $\mu$g/mL ATea followed by 24-hr exposure to 0.5 mM SNP (exogenous NO donor). No-induced cytotoxicity was inhibited by pretreatment of ATea, as assessed by mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity (MTT assay). We further investigated the effects of ATea on mRNA levels of various enzymes of the antioxidant system such as Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD 1), Mn SOD (SOD 2), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase and several enzymes of the glutathione metabolism [glutathione reductase (GR), $\gamma$-glutamyl-cystein synthetase (GCS), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), $\gamma$-glutamyltranspeptidase ($\gamma$-GT), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)] by RT-PCR. CAT, GCS, GR and G6PD mRNA levels were increased after treatment with ATea. The SOD 1, SOD 2, GPx, GST and $\gamma$-GT mRNA levels were not affected in ATea-treated HepG2 cells. We concluded that ATea have an indirect antioxidant effects, perhaps via induction of CAT, GCS, GR and G6PD.
