The polarization characteristics of nano-scale grating-assisted polarization-insensitive coupler (GA-PIC) consisted of double sandwiched rib-type layers are evaluated in detail by using modal transmission-line theory (MTLT) based on equivalent network. To obtain the polarization-insensitive condition of GA-PIC, the coupling lengths as a function of the refractive index and thickness of sandwiched rib-type layer as well as the grating thickness and period are analyzed for quasi-TE and quasi-TM modes. The numerical results show that the GA-PIC with hundreds of nanometer scale is realized by properly choosing structural and material parameters of double sandwiched layers and grating.

In this thesis, the breakdown voltage characteristics of silicon nanowire N-channel GAA MOSFETs were analyzed through experiments and 3-dimensional device simulation. GAA MOSFETs with the gate length of 250nm, the gate dielectrics thickness of 6nm and the channel width ranged from 400nm to 3.2um were used. The breakdown voltage was decreased with increasing gate voltage but it was increased at high gate voltage. The decrease of breakdown voltage with increasing channel width is believed due to the increased current gain of parasitic transistor, which was resulted from the increased potential in channel center through floating body effects. When the positive charge was trapped into the gate dielectrics after gate stress, the breakdown voltage was decreased due to the increased potential in channel center. When the negative charge was trapped into the gate dielectrics after gate stress, the breakdown voltage was increased due to the decreased potential in channel center. We confirmed that the measurement results were agreed with the device simulation results.

The display that provides information to us through the visual sense is a very important information transmission means by intuitively transmitting information, and the liquid crystal display (LCD) is the most widely used information transmission display. In this paper, we studied solvent assisted micromolding as an alternative for the rubbing that is essential to align the liquid crystals in LCD and successfully aligned the liquid crystal molecules by constructing the nanostructures on conventional polyimide alignment layer. When generating the nanostructures on the polyimide film, there was a competitive correlation between the dissolution effect of the polymer by the solvent and the capillary effect of the polyimide molecules into the nanostructures of the mold depending on the process temperature. It was possible to form nanostructures with high step by deriving the optimum temperature. These nanostructures were able to align the liquid crystal molecules uniformly and demonstrated that they could form a desirable pretilt angle.

Ferrite cores are used as a soft magnetic material in the fabrication of couplers for inductive powerline communication (PLC). However, it is difficult to adjust the size freely according to the power-line and power-grid environment. In this paper, we report that a nano-crystalline alloy with higher permeability than ferrite can be used as an inductive coupler for non-contact PLC. Since nano-crystalline are produced in the form of a thin ribbon, the size of the coupler can be freely controlled by the number of ribbons wound on the toroidal core. It was fabricated with induction type coupler and showed to be suitable for non-contact power line communication. Experimental results show that the communication bandwidth is 45 Mbps for 100 m and 8 Mbps for 200 m under the current fluctuation of less than 100 A, and the reception ratio is 100%.

실리카 나노입자를 분산시킨 기능성 코팅 소재를 개발하였다. 본 기능성 코팅 소재는 마그내슘 판재에 적용하여 내스크래치 및 내부식성을 향상시키기 위한 것이다. 최근 마그네슘 판재는 스마트 폰 및 이동통신 기기의 외장재소재로 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 표면의 기계적 강도가 약하고, 특히 수분에 의한 부식이 심각하여 사용에 많은 제한을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실리카 나노입자가 분산된 유무기 하이브리드 코팅을 적용하여 기계적 강도 및 내부식성을 향상하고자 하였다. 분산하는 나노입자의 크기를 달리하여 코팅층으로부터 각각 다른 물리적 화학적 특성을 유도할 수 있었다. 각 코팅 층의 특성은 연필경도, 기판 휨 각도, 그리고 electrochemical impedance spectroscopy 등을 이용하여 평가하였고, 최종적으로 휴대폰 신뢰성 평가 기법을 적용하여 상용화 적용성도 평가하였다.

The variation of shapes and related properties of ZnO nanostructures grown on the metal pattern and Si substrate have been investigated. Ni, Cr metal patterns were formed on Si (111) substrates by e-beam evaporation, and ZnO nanostructures were fabricated on it by using thermal evaporation of Zn powder in air. Growth temperature was controlled from 500 $^{\circ}$C to 700 $^{\circ}$C. When the growth temperature was relatively low, no considerable effect was found. However, UV emission intensity decreased, and Green-emission intensity, which is regarded as originated from the defect state in the ZnO nanostructure, increased as growth temperature increase. Also, the variation of nanostructure shape at high temperature (700 $^{\circ}$C) is understood in terms of the enhanced incorporation of metal vapor during the nanostructure formation.

Nanotechnology(NT) refers to a field of advanced micro-technology covering the creation and manufacturing of materials on the atomic and molecular scale and requires interdisciplinary study with various fields including materials science, physics, chemistry, electronics and others. Whileas nanotechnology is a kind of micro and small scaled science, space technology(ST) is one of the larger and system technologies utilizing broad fields of mechanical, materials, electronics and communication technologies. It is necessary to select and concentrate the functional items of nanotechnology for efficient application to be utilized in space technology, due to the cross-sectional characteristics of nanotechnology within nanomaterials, nanoelectronics, and nanomanufacturing. This paper provides the current state of art of nanotechnology in space technology by evaluating NASA's activities and the 9th frame of the project ANTARES(Analysis of Nanotechnology Applications in Space Developments and Systems) with the support of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Space Flight Management, Division Technology for Space Systems and Robotics. It has shown that it is necessary to apply nanotechnology to space technology in order to achieve international competitiveness, for the nanotechnology can bring the previously impossible things to reality. Since KARI plans to send an unmanned probe to the moon's orbit and land a probe on the moon's surface in 2025, it is urgently needed to incorporate nanotechnology to national space development plan.
