In order to control the quality of X-ray images and patient exposure, it is necessary to document the output dose(air absorption dose(mGy)) output from the X-ray unit from the measurement. The purpose of this study is to find an equation that can calculate the output dose from the measurement of the output dose and output factor(Of) of the X-ray Unit. The output dose and output factors of the X-beam irradiated from the X-ray unit were measured using an XR multi-detector. The output dose calculation formula was obtained by fitting the measured output dose divided by the tube current-exposure time product(mAs) and the set tube voltage with Allometric1. The final output dose calculation formula was obtained by multiplying this formula with the output factor. It is considered that the obtained final output dose calculation formula will be useful for all tube voltages, tube currents, exposure times, field sizes, and distances.

We have fabricated and evaluated a new Si pin photodiode for red light detection with the web patterned $p^{+}$ -shallow diffused region in the light absorbing area. From the measurements of electro-optical characteristics under the bias of -5V, the junction capacitance of 4pF and the dark current of 235pA were obtained. When the 1.6㎼ optical power with peak wavelength of 670nm was incident on the device, the optical signal current of 0.48$\mu\textrm{A}$ and the responsivity of 0.30A/W were obtained. The fabricated device showed the improved sensitivity compared to the conventional circular type device and the maximum spectral response in a spectrum of 670~700nm. The web-patterned Si photodiode can be expected to have the good discrimination characteristics between digital signals in the application of red light optics.

ZnO는 3.37 eV의 넓은 에너지 밴드갭을 갖는 투명 전도성 반도체이며 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성으로 인해 광원소자 개발을 위한 새로운 물질로 많은 주목을 받아왔다. 더욱이, ZnO는 쉽게 나노구조 형성이 가능하기 때문에 이를 응용한 가스센서, 염료감응태양전지, 광검출기 등의 소자 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 최근에는 GaN 기반 발광다이오드 (light emitting diode, LED)의 광추출 효율을 향상시키기 위한 ZnO 나노구조 응용에 관한 연구가 보고되고 있다. GaN 기반 LED의 경우 반도체 물질과 공기 사이의 높은 굴절률 차이로 인하여 낮은 광추출 효율을 나타낸다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 표면 roughening, texturing 등 에칭공정을 이용해 광추출 효율을 개선하려는 연구들이 보고되고 있으나, 복잡한 공정과정을 필요로 하고 에칭공정에 의한 소자 표면 손상으로 전기적 특성이 나빠질 수 있다. 반면 전기화학증착법으로 성장된 ZnO 나노구조를 이용할 때, 보다 간단한 방법으로 쉽고 빠르게 나노구조를 형성할 수 있고 낮은 공정온도를 가지기 때문에 소자의 전기적 특성에 큰 영향을 주지 않는다. 수직방향으로 잘 정렬된 ZnO 나노구조를 갖는 LED의 경우 내부 Fresnel 반사 손실을 효과적으로 줄여 발광 효율을 크게 향상시킬 수 있다. 따라서, ZnO 나노구조의 성장제어 및 성장특성을 분석하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 ITO glass 위에 ZnO 나노구조를 성장하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. ITO glass 기판 위에 RF magnetron 스퍼터를 사용하여 Al 도핑된 ZnO (AZO)를 얇게 증착한 후 전기화학증착법으로 ZnO 나노구조를 성장하였다. 농도, 인가전압, 공정시간 등 다양한 공정조건을 변화시키면서 성장 메커니즘을 분석하였고, scanning electron microscope (SEM) 및 X-ray diffraction (XRD)을 통하여 구조 및 결정성 등을 분석하였다. 또한, UV-Visible-NIR spectrophotometer를 사용하여 투과율을 실험적으로 측정하여 ZnO 나노구조의 광학적 특성을 분석하였고, rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) 방법을 사용하여 계면에서 발생하는 내부 반사율을 계산함으로써 나노구조의 효과를 이론적으로 분석하였다.

An electrochemical glucose sensor with enzyme-free was fabricated using Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) decorated CuO nanoflowers (CuO NFs). 3-D CuO nanoflowers film was directly synthesized on Cu foil by a simple hydrothermal method and Pt NPs were dispersed on the petal surface of CuO NFs through electrochemical deposition. This prepared sample was noted to Pt NPs-CuO NF. Morphology of the Pt NPs-CuO NFs layer was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The electrochemical properties and sensing performances were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) under alkaline condition. The sensor exhibited a high sensitivity, wide liner range and fast response time. Its excellent sensing performance was attributed to the synergistic effect of the Pt NPs and CuO nanostructure.

A rapid analytical method based on capillary electrophoresis is described for the determination of trace anions in high-purity chemicals which is used to prevent corrosion demage in nuclear power plants. Separations are carried out at 20kV using trimethylsilane-coated fused-silica capillary ($70cm{\times}50$ or $75{\mu}m$ i.d.) with the electrolyte of 5mM Chromate(pH=8). Detection was achieved using on-column indirect photometry at 254nm. The simultaneous analysis of inorganic anions, chloride, nitrate, sulfate, azide and phosphate was performed using methods of hydrodynamic(>1ppm) and / or electrokinetic(<1ppm) injection. The results of studies on the coexisting anions on analyte ions shows that peak responses of analyte in hydrodynamic injection is constant without effect of coexisting anions, but those of analysis in electrokinetic injection is strongly dependant upon the kind of coexisting anions and its ionic mobility. The analyte enrichment rate, hence peak response, is positive relationship with the resistance of the sample solution. Thus, appropriate measures, such as standard addition or internal standard technique, must be used to account for differences in conductance of standard and sample solutions.

Circular metal electrodes were vacuum-deposited with chromium on the both sides of Teflon-FEP and PET film characteristic of electret and the physical properties of the two polymers were observed during an irradiation by gamma-ray from $\^$60/Co. With the onset of irradiation of output 25.0 cGy/min the induced current increased rapidly for 2 sec, reached a maximum, and subsequently decreased. A steady-state induced current was reached about in 60 second. The dielectric constant and conductivity of Teflon-FEP were changed from 2.15 to 18.0 and from l${\times}$l0$\^$-17/ to 1.57${\times}$10$\^$-13/ $\Omega$-$\^$-1/cm$\^$-1/, respectively. For PET the dielectric constant was changed from 3 to 18.3 and the conductivity from 10$\^$-17/ to 1.65${\times}$10$\^$-13/ $\Omega$-$\^$-1/cm$\^$-1/. The increase of the radiation-induced steady state current I$\^$c/, permittivity $\varepsilon$ and conductivity $\sigma$ with output(4.0 cGy/min, 8.5 cGy/min, 15.6 cGy/min, 19.3 cGy/min) was observed. A series of independent measurements were also performed to evaluate reproducibility and revealed less than 1% deviation in a day and 3% deviation in a long term. Charge and current showed the dependence on the interval between measurements, the smaller the interval was, the bigger the difference between initial reading and next reading was. At least in 20 minutes of next reading reached an initial value. It may indicate that the polymers were exhibiting an electret state for a while. These results can be explained by the internal polarization associated with the production of electron-hole pairs by secondary electrons, the change of conductivity and the equilibrium due to recombination etc. Heating to the sample made the reading value increase in a short time, it may be interpreted that the internal polarization was released due to heating and it contributed the number of charge carriers to increase when the samples was again irradiated. The linearity and reproducibility of the samples with the applied voltage and absorbed dose and a large amount of charge measured per unit volume compared with the other chambers give the feasibility of a radiation detector and make it possible to reduce the volume of a detector.

The architecture and the implementation details of a UTMI(USB2.0 Transceiver Macrocell Interface) compatible USB2.0 transceiver chip were presented. To confirm the validation of the incoming data in noisy channel environment, a squelch state detector and a current mode Schmitt-trigger circuit were proposed. A current mode output driver to transmit 480Mbps data on the USB cable was designed and an on-die termination(ODT) which is controlled by a replica bias circuit was presented. In the USB system using plesiochronous clocking, to compensate for the frequency difference between a transmitter and a receiver, a synchronizer using clock data recovery circuit and FIFO was designed. The USB cable was modeled as the lossy transmission line model(W model) for circuit simulation by using a network analyzer measurements. The USB2.0 PHY chip was implemented by using 0.25um CMOS process and test results were presented. The core area excluding the IO pads was $0.91{\times}1.82mm^2$. The power consumptions at the supply voltage of 2.5V were 245mW and 150mW for high-speed and full-speed operations, respectively.
