We report on the NO gas sensing properties of Al-doped zinc oxide-carbon nanotube (ZnO-CNT) wire-like layered composites fabricated by coaxially coating Al-doped ZnO thin films on randomly oriented single-walled carbon nanotubes. We were able to wrap thin ZnO layers around the CNTs using the pulsed laser deposition method, forming wire-like nanostructures of ZnO-CNT. Microstructural observations revealed an ultrathin wire-like structure with a diameter of several tens of nm. Gas sensors based on ZnO-CNT wire-like layered composites were found to exhibit a novel sensing capability that originated from the genuine characteristics of the composites. Specifically, it was observed by measured gas sensing characteristics that the gas sensors based on ZnO-CNT layered composites showed a very high sensitivity of above 1,500% for NO gas in dry air at an optimal operating temperature of $200^{\circ}C$; the sensors also showed a low NO gas detection limit at a sub-ppm level in dry air. The enhanced gas sensing properties of the ZnO-CNT wire-like layered composites are ascribed to a catalytic effect of Al elements on the surface reaction and an increase in the effective surface reaction area of the active ZnO layer due to the coating of CNT templates with a higher surface-to-volume ratio structure. These results suggest that ZnO-CNT composites made of ultrathin Al-doped ZnO layers uniformly coated around carbon nanotubes can be promising materials for use in practical high-performance NO gas sensors.

Polypropylene의 농도와 코팅 막의 건조 온도 및 나노실리카의 첨가량의 변화 등 polypropylene 박막 제조를 위한 공정 변수들이 박막의 표면 형상 및 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Polypropylene의 농도가 30 mg/mL인 경우에 $30^{\circ}C$의 건조 온도로 90 min 동안 93 mTorr의 진공 조건으로 최대 접촉각 $154^{\circ}$를 갖는 초소수성 polypropylene 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 용매 휘발을 위한 진공 오븐에서의 건조 온도가 증가함에 따라 박막의 거칠기가 감소하여 접촉각이 낮아지는 효과를 가져왔다. Polypropylene-실리카 복합막은 박막 내에 나노실리카의 함유량의 증가에 따라 박막 표면이 미세 다공성 구조에서 미세 구형 구조물로 변환되면서 접촉각의 증가로 초소수성 표면 특성을 보였다.

The composite SiO$_2$/Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$(ONO) film formed by oxidation on nitride film has been widely studied as DRAM stacked capacitor multi-dielectric films. Load lock(L/L) LPCVD system by HF cleaning is used to improve electrical capacitance and to scale down of effective thickness for memory device, but is brings a new problem. Nitride film deposited using HF cleaning shows selective deposition on poly silicon and oxide regions of capacitor. This problem is avoidable by carpeting chemical oxide using $H_2O$$_2$cleaning before nitride deposition. In this paper, we study the limit of nitride thickness for abnormal oxidation and the initial deposition time for nitride deposition dependent on underlayer materials. We proposed an advanced fabrication process for stacked capacitor in order to avoid selective deposition problem and show the usefulness of nitride deposition using L/L LPCVD system by $H_2O$$_2$cleaning. The natural oxide thickness on polysilicon monitor after HF and $H_2O$$_2$cleaning are measured 3~4$\AA$, respectively. Two substrate materials have the different initial nitride deposition times. The initial deposition time for polysilicon is nearly zero, but initial deposition time for oxide is about 60seconds. However the deposition rate is constant after initial deposition time. The limit of nitride thickness for abnormal oxidation under the HF and $H_2O$$_2$cleaning method are 60$\AA$, 48$\AA$, respectively. The results obtained in this study are useful for developing ultra thin nitride fabrication of ONO scaling and for avoiding abnormal oxidation in stacked capacitor application.

Metal interconnections of multilayer Al/Ni and TiW/seed-Ni/Ni were formed on glass, and the adhesion strength and nanoindentation response of the composite layers were evaluated. The Al/Ni multilayer was formed by an anodic bonding of glass to Al and subsequent electroless plating of Ni, while the TiW/Ni multilayer was fabricated by sputter deposition of TiW and seed-Ni onto glass and electroless plating of Ni. Because of the diffusion of aluminum into glass during the anodic bonding, anodically bonded glass/Al joint exhibited greater interfacial strength than the sputtered glass/TiW one. The Al/Ni on glass also showed excellent resistance against delamination by bending deformation compared to the TiW/seed-Ni/Ni on glass. From the nanoindentation experiment of each metal layer on glass, it was found that the aluminum layer had extremely low hardness and elastic modulus similar to the glass substrate and played a beneficial role in the delamination resistance by lessening stress intensification at the joint. The indentation data of the multilayers also supported superior joint reliability of the Al/Ni to glass compared to that of the TiW/seed-Ni/Ni to glass.

In this study, the influence of silicon contents on the microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of Ti-Al-Si-N coatings were systematically investigated for application of cutting tools. The composition of the Ti-Al-Si-N coatings were controlled by different combinations of TiAl₂ and Ti₄Si composite target powers using an arc ion plating technique in a reactive gas mixture of high purity Ar and N₂ during depositions. Ti-Al-Si-N films were nanocomposite consisting of nanosized (Ti,Al,Si)N crystallites embedded in an amorphous Si₃N₄/SiO₂ matrix. The instrumental analyses revealed that the synthesized Ti-Al-Si-N film with Si content of 5.63 at.% was a nanocomposites consisting of nano-sized crystallites (5-7 nm in dia.) and a three dimensional thin layer of amorphous Si₃N₄ phase. The hardness of the Ti-Al-Si-N coatings also exhibited the maximum hardness value of about 47 GPa at a silicon content of ~5.63 at.% due to the microstructural change to a nanocomposite as well as the solid-solution hardening. The coating has a low friction coefficient of 0.55 at room temperature against an Inconel alloy ball. These excellent mechanical and tribological properties of the Ti-Al-Si-N coatings could help to improve the performance of machining and cutting tool applications.

In this paper, an electrochemical sensor for epinephrine (EP), a neurotransmitter was developed by anchoring molecularly imprinted polymeric matrix (MIP) on the surface of gold-coated quartz crystal electrode of electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) using starch nanoparticles (Starch NP) - reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanocomposite as polymeric format for the first time. Use of EP in therapeutic treatment requires proper dose and route of administration. Proper follow-up of neurological disorders and timely diagnosis of them has been found to depend on EP level. The MIP sensor was developed by electrodeposition of starch NP-RGO composite on EQCM electrode in presence of template EP. As the imprinted sites are located on the surface, high specific surface area enables good accessibility and high binding affinity to template molecule. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and piezoelectrogravimmetry were used for monitoring binding/release, rebinding of template to imprinted cavities. MIP-coated EQCM electrode were characterized by contact angle measurements, AFM images, piezoelectric responses including viscoelasticity of imprinted films, and other voltammetric measurements including direct (DPV) and indirect (using a redox probe) measurements. Selectivity was assessed by imprinting factor (IF) as high as 3.26 (DPV) and 3.88 (EQCM). Sensor was rigorously checked for selectivity in presence of other structurally close analogues, real matrix (blood plasma), reproducibility, repeatability, etc. Under optimized conditions, the EQCM-MIP sensor showed linear dynamic ranges ($1-10{\mu}M$). The limit of detection 40 ppb (DPV) and 290 ppb (EQCM) was achieved without any cross reactivity and matrix effect indicating high sensitivity and selectivity for EP. Hence, an eco-friendly MIP-sensor with high sensitivity and good selectivity was fabricated which could be applied in "real" matrices in a facile manner.

일반적으로 그래핀 플레이크는 산화그래핀을 화학적 또는 열적 환원 공정을 통해 환원그래핀으로 변환하여 대량 생산하고 있다. 그래핀 플레이크는 다양한 형태로 응용되는데, 그 중 진공여과를 이용한 적층 공정을 통해 종이형 필름으로 제작이 가능하다. 그래핀 종이는 신축성이 부족한 단점이 있어 신축성 소자 응용에 제약이 있다. 본 연구에서는 신축성이 있는 그래핀 종이를 제작하기 위하여, 그래핀 종이에 주름을 만들었다. 신축성이 뛰어난 접착 필름을 미리 늘린 후, 그 위에 그래핀 종이를 붙이고, 접착 필름을 원래 상태로 놓아 주어 그래핀 종이에 주름을 만들었다. 이 때, 접착 필름에 가하는 당김 정도 및 젖은 상태에 따라 주름의 형상이 변하는 것을 실험적으로 관찰하였다. 특히, 그래핀 종이와 접착 필름의 전단 탄성 계수 차에 의하여 주름의 주기가 바뀌는 현상을 관찰하였다.
