비휘발성 저항 메모리소자인 resistance random access memory (ReRAM)는 간단한 소자구조와 빠른 동작특성을 나타내며 고집적화에 유리하기 때문에 차세대 메모리소자로써 각광받고 있다. 현재, 이성분계 산화물, 페로브스카이트 산화물, 고체 전해질 물질, 유기재료 등을 응용한 저항 메모리소자에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 중 ZnO를 기반으로 하는 amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO) 박막은 active layer 로써 박막트랜지스터 적용 시 우수한 전기적 특성을 나타내며, 빠른 동작특성과 높은 저항 변화율을 보이기 때문에 ReRAM 에 응용 가능한 재료로써 기대되고 있다. 또한 가시광선 영역에서 광학적으로 투명한 특성을 보이기 때문에 투명소자로서도 응용이 기대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 indium tin oxide (ITO) 투명 전극을 적용한 ITO/a-IGZO/ITO 구조의 투명 소자를 제작하여 저항 메모리 특성을 평가하였다. Radio frequency (RF) sputter를 이용하여 IGZO 박막을 합성하고, ITO 전극을 증착하여 투명 저항 메모리소자를 구현하였고, resistive switching 효과를 관찰하였다. 또한, 열처리를 통해 a-IGZO 박막 내의 Oxygen vacancy와 같은 결함의 정도에 따른 on/off 저항의 변화를 관찰할 수 있었다. 제작된 저항 메모리소자는 unipolar resistive switching 특성을 보였으며, 높은 on/off 저항의 차이를 유지하였다. Scanning electron microscope (SEM)을 통해 합성된 박막의 형태를 평가하였고, X-ray diffraction (XRD) 및 transmission electron microscopy (TEM)을 통해 결정성을 평가하였다. 제작된 소자의 전기적 특성은 HP-4145 를 이용하여 측정하고 비교 분석하였다.

The objective of this research was to develop a practical integrated approach using extracted features from electrical resistance measurements and coupled electromechanical models of damage, for in-situ damage detection and sensing in carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP) composites. To achieve this objective, we introduced specific known damage (in terms of type, size, and location) into CFRP laminates and established quantitative relationships with the electrical resistance measurements. For processing of numerous measurement data, an autonomous data acquisition system was devised. We also established a specimen preparation procedure and a method for electrode setup. Coupon and panel CFRP laminate specimens with several known damage were tested. Coupon specimens with various sizes of artificial delaminations obtained by inserting Teflon film were manufactured and the resistance was measured. The measurement results showed that increase of delamination size led to increase of resistance implying that it is possible to sense the existence and size of delamination. A quasi-isotropic panel was manufactured and electrical resistance was measured. Then three different sizes of holes were drilled at a chosen location. The panel was prepared using the established procedures with six electrode connections on each side making a total of twenty-four electrodes. Vertical, horizontal, and diagonal pairs of electrodes were chosen and the resistance was measured. The measurement results showed the possibility of the established measurement system for an in-situ damage detection method for CFRP composite structures.

반응성 스퍼터링법으로 TaN film을 증착한 후 열처리온도에 따라 TaN 박막의 $R_s$(sheet resistance) 특성을 평가하고 미세구조 변화에 따른 전기적 특성 변화를 고찰하였다. TaN 박막을 열처리한 결과 $400^{\circ}C$에서 $600^{\circ}C$까지는 (110)의 회절피크만 보이다가 $700^{\circ}C$ 에서는 (200)의 회절 피크가 나타났고 특히 as-deposition 상태와 $300^{\circ}C$ 열처리시에는 Ta와 TaN 상이 혼재한 상태로 나타났으며 전기저항 변화는 as-deposition 상태가 $140{\Omega}/{\square}$로 가장 높았으며 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 저항은 점차적으로 감소하다가 $600^{\circ}C$와 $700^{\circ}C$에서는 전기저항이 다시 증가하였다. $500^{\circ}C$까지는 표면 형상이나 표면조도보다는 열처리 온도의 증가에 따른 TaN 박막의 결정구조 변화가 전기저항에 영향을 주는 주 요인으로 작용하고, $600^{\circ}C$와 $700^{\circ}C$ 열처리시에 결정립의 증가에도 불구하고 전기저항이 증가하는 것은 고온 열처리에 의한 표면조도가 증가하였기 때문이라고 생각된다.

The practical use of the electrical resistivity, which can makes the acquirement of the high resolution data in specific area, is increased in order to obtain a reasonable data for a ground investigation. The objective of this study is development of TRPF(Temperature-compensated Resistivity Probe for Field test), and an application in the field test for obtaining a reliable electrical resistivity value about considering the temperature effects. Temperature sensor is attached at 15mm, 30mm, 90mm below from the cone tip in consideration with the results of temperature transient process of cone probe and safety, and the angle of cone tip is $60^{\circ}$ for geometrical reason and minimizing the disturbance during the penetration test. Diameter of the cone probe is equally 35.7mm and penetration rate is 2 cm/sec for a comparison with standard cones such as CPT and SPT, and others. The temperature change is instantly observed around $4^{\circ}C$ when touching the ground, and the comparing results among the other cones indicates that the temperature compensation should be conducted in the ground survey using the electrical resistivity. This study shows that the necessity of temperature effects compensation during penetration test through the development and field verification of TRPF (Temperature-compensated Resistivity Probe for Field test).

In general, water-saturated silt or clay alluvium is characterized with relatively low-resistivity. Thus we often encountered the problem that such a low-resistivity layer is misguided to be good aquifer of high-permeability and low-resistivity in the development of groundwater. This research was conducted with an emphasis on the identification of saturated silt or clay layer from the aquifer by performing the laboratory experiment of IP and resistivity methods on the various materials consisting of alluvium aquifer. Silt or clay layer is found to be characterized with the higher chargeability zone, compared to the sand layer. Regarding the mixture of sand and clay, the higher clay volume, the lower resistivity and the higher chargeability. Subsequently chargeability decreases.

Resistivity data should be edited before the inversion because resistivity data are contaminated by a lot of noise. Generally, outlier or data violating pants-leg effect in dipole-dipole array were used to be rejected in the apparent resistivity pseudo-section. For more precise data editing, normalized voltage curves are used. In this study, we analyzed the behavior of normalized voltage curves for pole-pole, pole-dipole and dipole-dipole arrays in the presence of threedimensional inhomogeneities, and finally re-examined the validity of normalized voltage curves in the editing process of resistivity data.

One of feasible non-destructivity test methods for evaluation of concrete permeability is the measurement of surface resistivity. But the application to steel fiber-reinforced concrete has been limited because mis-evaluation could be caused by the steel fibers in concrete. In this study, the effect of fiber distribution on surface electrical resistivity of steel fiber-reinforced concrete was investigated through experimental program. Resistivity was measured three times on four surfaces in three rectangular and circular specimens with 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% steel fibers by volume and compared each other. The results obtained from circular specimens were consistent compared to those from rectangular specimens. And the results demonstrated that the effect of fiber distribution on surface resistivity was not significant compared to that of mixing ratio of steel fibers. In conclusion, this non-destructive testing method using measurement of surface resistivity could be used for SFRC within 0.5% steel fibers by volume.

For the purpose of maintenance and prevention of earth fill dams against damage from natural hazards, automatic monitoring through various measuring instruments and resistivity survey has been carried out. Reservoirs and embankments have the structural vulnerability on the agricultural usages since most of them were built more than thirty years ago. The main aim to use monitoring method is to verify the safety and integrity of the dam. Resistivity survey can detect potential weaknesses, such as defective zones, anomalous seepages or internal erosion processes. Permanent resistivity monitoring systems were installed at a reservoir, which daily measurements have been taken every 6 hour. Using monitoring data for one year, anomalous seepage and structural defects were clarified for dam safety. Annual water level fluctuations are around 10 m. During their operation, reservoir dams are subject to a never-ending hydraulic load from the reservoir, which over the years may cause changes in the properties of the inner parts of the dam construction. Detailed analysis of the monitoring results was performed and showed that resistivities at most locations have been very stable over the full monitoring period excluding the effects of water fluctuation and seasons. To investigate the detectability of weak zone using the DC resistivity monitoring, numerical modeling with a simplified model for the drainage at a reservoir dam was also performed. The results showed that the seepage zone near drainage in a reservoir dam could be detected by resistivity response change.
