In order to elucidate the relationships between cadmium, copper, mercury, zinc levels and metallothionein in the liver and kidney cortex of Korean, the levels of Cd, Zn, Hg, Cu and metallothionein (MT) were determined in the kidney cortex and liver of 50 subjects deceased in the period of January-November, 2001 in the area of Seoul and Gyeonggi Province of Korea. The mean age of the population studied was 36.3+/-12.3 years. The tissues were digested with microwave digestion system and the elements were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. MT was determined by the Cd-hemoglobin affinity assay. The determined levels (mean+/-SD) were: 33.9+/-18.9 micrograms Cd/g wet weight; 47.5+/-12.6 micrograms Zn/g wet weight; 2.5+/-0.57 microgram Cu/g wet weight; 0.26+/-0.31 micrograms Hg/g wet weight, 4.0+/-3.1 mg MT/g wet weight in renal cortex and 2.5+/-1.9 micrograms Cd/g wet weight; 46.9+/-15.0 micrograms Zn/g wet weight; 6.2+/-2.5 micrograms Cu/g wet weight; 0.10+/-0.15 micrograms Hg/g wet weight, 0.92+/-0.57 mg MT/g wet weight in the liver. Positive relationships between Cd and MT, sum of four divalent metal and MT in the kidney cortex were observed. No other correlation was found between Cu and MT, Hg and MT, Zn and MT in either organs.

반도체 생산공정에서 CMP (Chemical-mechanical planarization) 공정은 우수한 전기전도성 재료인 Cu의 사용과 다층구조의 소자를 형성하기 위해서 도입되었으며, 최근 소자의 집적도가 증가함에 따라 CMP 공정 비중은 점점 높아지고 있다. Cu CMP 공정에서 연마제인 슬러리는 금속 표면과의 물리적 화학적 반응을 동시에 사용하여 표면을 연마하게 되며, 연마특성을 향상시키기 위해 산화제, 부식방지제, 분산제 및 다양한 계면활성제가 첨가된다. 하지만 슬러리는 Cu 표면을 평탄화하는 동시에 오염입자, 유기오염물, 스크레치, 표면부식 등을 발생시키며 결과적으로 소자의 결함을 야기시킨다. 특히 부식방지제로 사용되는 BTA (Benzotriazole)은 Cu CMP 공정 중 Cu-BTA 형태로 표면에 흡착되어 오염원으로 작용하며 입자오염을 증가시시고 건조공정에서 물반점 등의 표면 결함을 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 Cu 표면에서 식각과 부식반응을 최소화하며, 오염입자 제거 및 유기오염물을 효과적으로 제거하기 위한 Post-CMP 세정 공정과 세정액 개발이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 오염입자 및 유기물 제거와 동시에 표면 거칠기와 부식현상을 제어할 수 있는 post Cu CMP 세정액을 개발 평가하였다. 오염입자 및 유기오염물을 제거하기 위해서 염기성 용액인 TMAH 사용하였으며, Cu 이온을 용해할 수 있는 Chelating agent와 표면 부식을 억제하는 부식 방지제를 사용하여 세정액을 합성하였다. 접촉각 측정과 FESEM(field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope) 분석을 통하여 CMP 공정에서 발생하는 유기오염물과 오염입자의 흡착과 제거를 확인하였으며 Cu 웨이퍼 세정 전후의 표면 거칠기의 변화와 식각량을 AFM(Atomic Force Microscope)과 4-point probe를 사용하여 각각 평가하였다. 또한 세정액 내에서의 연마입자의 zeta-potential을 측정 및 조절하여 세정력을 향상시켰다. 개발된 세정액과 Cu 표면에서의 화학반응 및 부식방지력은 potentiostat를 이용한 전기화학 분석법을 통해서 chelating agent와 부식방지제의 농도를 최적화 시켰다. 개발된 세정액을 적용함으로써 Cu-BTA 형태의 유기오염물과 오염입자들이 효과적으로 제거됨을 확인하였다.

Silicon nitride thin films are deposited by RF (13.57 MHz) magnetron sputtering process using a Si (99.999 %) target and with different ratios of Ar/N₂ sputtering gas mixture. Corning G type glass is used as substrate. The vacuum atmosphere, RF source power, deposit time and temperature of substrate of the sputtering process are maintained consistently at 2 ~ 3 × 10^-3 torr, 30 sccm, 100 watt, 20 min. and room temperature, respectively. Cross sectional views and surface morphology of the deposited thin films are observed by field emission scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The hardness values are determined by nano-indentation measurement. The thickness of the deposited films is approximately within the range of 88 nm ~ 200 nm. As the amount of N₂ gas in the Ar:N₂ gas mixture increases, the thickness of the films decreases. AFM observation reveals that film deposited at high Ar:N₂ gas ratio and large amount of N₂ gas has a very irregular surface morphology, even though it has a low RMS value. The hardness value of the deposited films made with ratio of Ar:N₂=9:1 display the highest value. The XPS spectrum indicates that the deposited film is assigned to non-stoichiometric silicon nitride and the transmittance of the glass with deposited SiO₂-Si_xN_y thin film is satisfactory at 97 %.

H-shaped amphiphilic pentablock copolymers $(PSt)_2-b-PCL-b-PEO-b-PCL-b-(PSt)_2$ was synthesized via chemoenzymatic method by combining enzyme-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (eROP) of ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone (${\varepsilon}$-CL) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene. By this process, we obtained copolymers with controlled molecular weight and low polydispersity. The structure and composition of the obtained copolymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and infrared spectroscopy analysis (IR). The crystallization behavior of the copolymers was analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The crystallization behavior of the H-shaped block copolymers demonstrated a PCL dominate crystallization. The self-assembly behavior of the copolymers was investigated in aqueous media. The hydrodynamic diameters of the copolymer micelles in aqueous solution were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The morphology of the copolymer micelles was observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The hydrodynamic diameters of spherical micelles declined gradually with the increase of the hydrophobic chain lengths of the copolymers. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values were determined from fluorescence emission, and it was found that the CMCs decreased with an increase of PSt hydrophobic block lengths.

Ca is material to used in Chinese cabbage (Brasica rapa L. spp. pekinensis). The variation of inorganic ions and GSLs in Chinese cabbage cultivated to control additional Ca contents in slaked lime. The additional fertilizer of slaked lime differ four grade that 0 g (Ca-0), 0.28 g (Ca-1), 0.56 g (Ca-2), 0.84 g (Ca-3) are week intervals with a total of 8 times after transplanting. Inorganic ions in Chinese cabbage ('Bulam plus') were analyzed to use inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectometry(ICP). The more additional slaked lime input, the more almost macronutrients contents were high except Ca. Ca contents were higher in Ca-0 (153.10) and lower in Ca-3 (130.55 mg/kg dry weight, DW). GSLs were identified based on peak retention time in previous results of our laboratory. Seven GSLs including two aliphatic (gluconapin, glucobrassicanapin), one aromatic (gluconasturtiin), four indolyl (glucobrassicin, neoglucobrassicin, 4-methoxyglucobrassicin, 4-hydroxyglucobrassicin) were detected using HPLC. Progoitrin, 4-methoxyglucobrassicin, and gluconasturtiin contents increased in proportion to the input in additional slaked lime. Total GSLs contents were Ca-0 (11.95), Ca-1 (17.02), Ca-2 (19.63), Ca-3 ($17.11{\mu}mol/g$ dry weight, DW). Total Ca and GSLs contents (Ca-1,2,3; mean 17.92) are higher than non treatment (Ca-0; $11.95{\mu}mol/g$ DW).

톳으로부터 산ㆍ알칼리 (AASA) 방법으로 추출한 알긴산에 인위적으로 sulfate를 흡착시킨 후 ICP-AES를 이용해서 확인한 결과 3% alginate용액에서 1843 ppm 농도의 sulfate가 검출되었다. 배지 자체적으로 황을 함유하고 있는 MRS broth와 황이 없는 peptone water배지 에 S-alginate와 alginate를 0.25, 1, 2% 농도별로 첨가하여 Lactobacillus acidophilus를 접종한 후 배양하면서 유산균의 성장에 대한 영향을 살펴 본 결과 모든 농도에서 이들 배지에 S-alginate를 첨가한 것이 유산균의 성장을 증가시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. S-alginate와 alginate를 0.25% 첨가한 경우 유산균의 성장은 비슷한 값을 나타내었으나 농도가 증가할수록 S-alginate를 첨가한 군이 alginate만 첨가한 군보다는 유산균의 성장을 늘리는 것으로 나타났다. Ames test를 통해서 S-alginate는 돌연변이성을 전혀 나타내지 않았으며 항 돌연변이성는 직접변이원에 대하여 TA98균주는 14∼19%, TA100 균주에 대해서는 12∼17%까지의 억제율을 보였으며 2%의 S-alginate가 가장 높은 억제율을 나타내었다.

In this work, ZnO films doped with different contents of Indium (0.1at.%, 0.3at.%, 0.6at.%, respectively) were deposited on Si (111) substrate that has 1~20 $\Omega$cm by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at $600^{\circ}C$ for 30min. The thickness of the films are about 250 nm. The structural, optical and electrical properties of the films were investigated using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Atomic force microscope (AFM), Photoluminescence (PL) and Hall measurement. It has been found that RMS of the films is decreased and grain size is increased with increasing the contents of doped Indium. The results of the Photoluminescence properties were indicated that the films have UV emission about 380nm and shows a little red shitf with increasing contents of doped indium. The result of the Hall measurement shows that the concentration and resisitivity in doped ZnO are as changing as one order, respectively ${\sim}10^{18}/cm^2$, ${\sim}10^{-2}cm{\Omega}cm$.

With Ni/Au and Pd/Au metal schemes and low temperature processing, we formed low resistance stable Ohmic contacts to p-type GaN. Our investigation was preceded by conventional cleaning, followed by treatment in boiling $HNO_3$:HCl (1:3). Metallization was by thermally evaporating 30 nm Ni/15 nm Au or 25 nm Pd/15 nm Au. After heat treatment in $O_2$ + $N_2$ at various temperatures, the contacts were subsequently cooled in liquid nitrogen. Cryogenic cooling following heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ decreased the specific contact resistance from $9.84{\times}10^{-4}$ ${\Omega}cm^2$ to $2.65{\times}10^{-4}$ ${\Omega}cm^2$ for the Ni/Au contacts, while this increased it from $1.80{\times}10^{-4}$ ${\Omega}cm^2$ to $3.34{\times}10^{-4}$ ${\Omega}cm^2$ for the Pd/Au contacts. The Ni/Au contacts showed slightly higher specific contact resistance than the Pd/Au contacts, although they were more stable than the Pd contacts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profiling showed the Ni contacts to be NiO followed by Au at the interface for the Ni/Au contacts, whereas the Pd/Au contacts exhibited a Pd:Au solid solution. The contacts quenched in liquid nitrogen following sintering were much more uniform under atomic force microscopy examination and gave a 3 times lower contact resistance with the Ni/Au design. Current-voltage-temperature analysis revealed that conduction was predominantly by thermionic field emission.
