All the cells on the whole memory array or a block of the memory array in the Flash EEPROM's are erased at the same time using Fowler-Nordheim (FN) tunneling. some of the cels are often overerased since the tunneling is not a self-limited process. In this paper, the optimum doping concentration of the floating gate solve the overerase problem has been studied. For these studies, N-type MOSFETs and MOS capacitors with various doping concentrations of the gate polysilicon have been fabricated and their electrical characteristics have been measured and analyzed. As the results of the experiment, it has been found that the overerase problem can be prevented if the doping concentration of the floating gate is low enough (i.e. below $1.3{\times}10^{18}/cm^3$). It is because the potential difference between the floating gate and the source is lowered due to the formation of the depletion layer in the floating gate and thus the erasing operation stops by itself after most of the electrons stored in the floating gate are extracted. On the other hand, the uniformity of the Vt and the gm has been significantly poor if the coping concentration of the floating, gate is too much lowered (i.e. below $1.3{\times}10^{17}/cm^3$), which is believed to be due to nonuniform loss of the dopants from the nonuniform segregation in the floating gate. Consequently, the optimum doping concentration of the floating gate to suppress the overerase problem and get the uniform Vt and has been found to range from $1.3{\times}10^{17}/cm^3$ to $1.3{\times}10^{18}/cm^3$ in the Flash EEPROM.

Recently, although the requirement of quality of VOD content has been transferred upto the class of HD, conventional management systems characterized by OS dependency are truly limited in quality of video image, stability, and compatibility of network environments. In addition most of the content management systems realize very limited capabilities for the real affairs of content management and distribution services in such an OS dependent environment. In this paper, we propose a new scheme of HD-Class VOD Content Management System to solve these problems. We design and implement the proposed system based on open sources by using H.264 video compression method. The proposed system offers high quality content management method based on opened systems and independent on-line distribution method so that it can be realized as an integrated management scheme for VOD contents. Moreover, our system solves the problems of occasional cutting-down video, small screen, and poor image quality that exist in the conventional wmv-type CMS. According to the result of performance evaluation, our system maintains sufficient performance and tolerence for the case of large scale HD content operations or fabrications. We expect that the proposed integrated DB scheme will especially be effective when the content management applications are changed from Internet Web environments to mobile terminal environments.

We confirmed the effects on the device performances and the charge injection characteristics of organic field-effect transistor (OFET) by selectively differently controlling the surface energies on the contact region of the substrate where the source/drain electrodes are located and the channel region between the two electrodes. When the surface energies of the channel and contact regions were kept low and increased, respectively, the field-effect mobility of the OFET devices was 0.063 ㎠/V·s, the contact resistance was 132.2 kΩ·cm, and the subthreshold swing was 0.6 V/dec. They are the results of twice and 30 times improvements compared to the pristine FET device, respectively. As the results of analyzing the interfacial trap density according to the channel length, a major reason of the improved device performances could be anticipated that the pi-pi overlapping direction of polymer semiconductor molecules and the charge injection pathway from electrode is coincided by selective surface treatment in the contact region, which finally induces the decreases of the charge trap density in the polymer semiconducting film. The selective surface treatment method for the contact region between the electrode and the polymer semiconductor used in this study has the potential to maximize the electrical performances of organic electronics by being utilized with various existing processes to lower the interface resistance.

The purposes of this study were to develop value-added sauce(ketchup) products with Korean advanced chile peppers (Capsicum annuum L.), determine their physicochemical characteristics, and conduct a sensory evaluation. American chile ketchup products were collected from American local favorites and analyzed based on their compositions. The Korean chile ketchup contained tomato paste(37.5%), Korean chile pepper(14.1%), sugar(14.8%), vinegar(14.1%), garlic(8.5%), herbs, plum extract, and oligosaccharide. Its physiochemical analysis showed: moisture $59.61{\pm}0.28%$, crude protein $2.18{\pm}0.11%$, crude lipid $1.99{\pm}0.04%$, crude ash $9.26{\pm}0.13%$, crude carbohydrate $26.97{\pm}0.48%$, reducing sugar $35.19{\pm}0.97%$, salt $3.04{\pm}0.04%$, acidity $2.22{\pm}0.01%$, pH $3.7{\pm}0.01$, and $^{\circ}brix\;36.3{\pm}0.14$. Korean chile ketchup showed higher overall acceptability compared to American local favorite chile ketchup. This result suggests the possibility for replacing chile ketchup products imported from foreign countries(USA and Europe).

Recently, the size of the IoT sensor has been decreased and the collecting direction of the IoT sensor for acquiring the data have been changed from 2D to 3D. It makes sensor structure complex. In the fabrication of the complex structure, 3D printing technology has more useful than traditional manufacturing technologies. Among 3D printing technologies, FDM (fused deposition modeling) is a candidate technology to fabricate a small IoT sensor because the price of the machine and the material is cheap. In the FDM process, a 3D shape is made by depositing the melted filament. Recently, the patent of FDM technology is expired and cheat machines are developed based on the open-source. In the FDM process, mechanical properties of a fabricated part is affected by a lots of factors such as the kind of material and process parameters. Among them, infill is affecting the mechanical properties and the production lead time as well. In this work, a new method to optimize the FDM process with the consideration of mechanical property and production lead time was proposed. To verify the method, the fabrications were performed with the different infill rates. The results of tensile tests were analyzed to verify the proposed method.

The current-voltage characteristics of Silicon(Si), Germanum(Ge), and hetero tunnel field-effect transistors(TFETs) with source-overlapped gate structure was investigated using TCAD simulations in terms of tunneling. A Si-TFET with gate oxide material $SiO_2$ showed the hump effects in which line and point tunneling appear simultaneously, but one with gate oxide material $HfO_2$ showed only the line tunneling due to decreasing threshold voltage and it shows better performance than one with gate oxide material $SiO_2$. Tunneling mechanism of Ge and hetero-TFETs with gate oxide material of both $SiO_2$ and $HfO_2$ are dominated by point tunneling, and showed higher leakage currents, and Si-TFET shows better performance than Ge and hetero-TFETs in terms of SS. These simulation results of Si, Ge, and hetero-TFETs with source-overlapped gate structure can give the guideline for optimal TFET structures with non-silicon channel materials.

γ-dicalcium silicate(γ-C₂S) is known as a polymorphism of belite. Due to its high CO₂ fixing capacity and the production process with low CO₂ emission, γ-C₂S has attracted more attention of researchers. For the further development of γ-C₂S applications in construction industry, this study aims to investigate the method for synthesizing high purity of γ-C₂S. The influence of raw materials and calcination temperatures on the purity of γ-C₂S was evaluated. Several Ca bearing materials were selected as the calcium source, the materials which's main component is SiO₂ were used as the silicon source. Raw materials were mixed and calcined under different temperatures. The results revealed that the highest purity could be obtained using Ca(OH)₂ and SiO₂ powder as raw materials. In addition, a relatively economic synthesis method using natural mineral materials-limestone and silica sand as raw materials were developed for the practical application. The purity of synthetic γ-C₂S was recorded up to 77.6%.

In the present study AI$(CH_3)_3)$films were deposited by the ALD technique using trimethylaluminum(TMA) and ozone to improve the quality of the AI$(CH_3)_3)$ films, since the $OH^-$ radicals existing in the AI$(CH_3)_3)$ films deposited using TMA and $H_2O$ degrade the physical and the dielectric properties of the AI$(CH_3)_3)$ film. The XPS analysis results indicate that the $OH^-$ radical concentration in the AI$(CH_3)_3)$film deposited using $O_3$is lower than that using $H_2O$. The etch rate of the AI$(CH_3)_3)$film deposited using $O_3$is also lower than that using $H_2O$, suggesting that the chemical inertness of the former is better than the latter. The MIS capacitor fabricated with the TiN conductor and the $Al_2$O$_3$dielectrics formed using $O_3$offers lower leakage current, better insulating property and smaller flat band voltage shift $({\Delta}V_{FB})$.

This study aimed to compare the automated most-probable-number (MPN) TEMPO BC and the quantitative mannitol-egg yolk-polymyxin (MYP) plate methods for enumeration of Bacillus cereus in food samples known to be frequently contaminated. Food products that were naturally or artificially contaminated with B. cereus were analyzed by both methods. A difference of less than 1 log (CFU/g) between the two methods was noted in 95.3% samples. There were no significant differences in artificially contaminated products between the two methods in terms of $R^2$ values for sauce products, jorim products, fish products, etc. However, a significant difference was noted for sunsik, fermented soybean products, and products. The linear equation of naturally versus artificially contaminated food was $log_{(TEMPO\;BC)}=0.8453{\times}log_{(MYP\;plate\;agar)}+0.1642$. Statistical analysis of the results showed good agreement between the two methods. Due to growing interest in food safety, the use of the TEMPO BC method may increase. In response to this trend, the results from this study will offer valuable comparative data on the feasibility of existing methods and help develop new approaches for food safety testing.
