An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device, so called, N-type extended drain silicon controlled rectifier (NEDSCR) device, was analyzed for high voltage I/O applications. A conventional NEDSCR device shows typical SCR-like characteristics with extremely low snapback holding voltage. This may cause latch-up problem during normal operation. However, a modified NEDSCR device with proper junction/channel engineering using counter pocket source (CPS) ion implantation demonstrates itself with both the excellent ESD protection performance and the high latch-up immunity. Since the CPS implant technique does not change avalanche breakdown voltage, this methodology does not reduce available operation voltage and is applicable regardless of the operation voltage.

In order to improve the overall power conversion efficiency, it is very important to reduce the interface resistance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this approach, tiny $TiO_2$ nanoparticles with the primary size of 10~20nm were synthesized and deposited between FTO glass and preformed $TiO_2$ layer by $TiOCl_2$ treatment, and also Pt catalysts were deposited on the counter electrode by both ion-sputter and thermal deposition to reduce the electrolyte-counter electrode interface resistance. The influence of these processes on the performace of DSSCs were discussed in terms of fill factor, short circuit current, and conversion efficiency.

The influence of adding counter-ion such as Na+ on the dimerization of the two sulphonated azo dyes, C.I. Acid Red 14 and C.I. Acid Red 17 in aqueous media has been studied spectrophotometrically. The observed hypochromic effect on increasing the amount of salt has been described. The dye concentration range where the dimerization equilibrium is applicable was chosen. No metachromatic behaviour was observed on changing the dye concentration and the amount of salt. This behaviour was attributed to the ability of the counter-ion to disrupt the structure of water as well as reducing the electrostatic repulsion forces between dye anions which will lead to the increase of aggregation tendency of the dye species.

Since the motion of the charged particle strongly depends on its charge characteristics, information on charge distributions of target particles is one of the important variables in aerosol research. In this study, charged distribution of atomized NaCl particles were measured using a Gerdien type ion counter. Two kinds of particle charging conditions were used in this study. First, atomized NaCl particles were passed through an aerosol neutralizer to have a Boltzmann charge distribution, and then its charge distribution was measured. In this case, the portion of uncharged particles was compared with the portion obtained from the Boltzmann charge distribution for verifying the suggested experimental method. Second, same experiment was conducted without the aerosol neutralizer to measure the charge distribution of atomized and un-neutralized NaCl particles. In the conclusion, the portion of uncharged, negatively charged and positively charged particles were 19%, 62% and 20%, respectively, for neutralized particles. The atomized particles, which was generated without the aerosol neutralizer, also had almost a zero charge state, but the standard deviation in charge distribution was larger than that of neutralized particles. The test method proposed in this study is expected to be used in various aerosol research fields because it can obtain simple information on the particle charge characteristics more easily and quickly than the existing test methods.

Second derivative (D2) spectrometry using ion-pair extraction technique was development for the determination of total glycyrrhetic acid (GA) in Glycyrrhizae Radix, Glycyr-rhizin (G) obtained from Glycyrrhizae Radix was hydrolyzed into GA in 2 N-HCI and methanol (1:1) and extracted from aqueous phase in the form of an ion-pair complex with tetrapentylammonium bromide (TPA) as a counter ion. Maximum D2 amplitude (Z value) was obtained when 1000-fold or greater molar ratio of TPA was used at pH 11. Reaction an effective extraction solvent of the ion-pair complex. The linearity of standard curve of ion-pair GA was obtained in the range of 4.120 $\mu$g/ml as GA. Assayed contents of GA in dry powder by D2 UV spectrometry and HPLC method were 5.31 $\pm$ 0.04% and 5.20 $\pm$ 0.008%, respectively.

Analytical method using the reversed phase ion-pair chromatography (RP-IPC) for the determination of kasugamycin(5-amino-2-methyl-6-(2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxy cyclohexyloxy)tetrahydropyran-3-yl-amino-${\alpha}$-imino acetic acid), pesticide as fungicide bactercide has been established. The retention behavior of kasugamycin in the RP-IPC was examined with respect to the effect of concentrations of organic modifiers, pH of eluent and types and concentrations of the counter ions as ion-pair reagent. This method developed by the optimum factors, can be used for the application of the quality control in the crude product and its formulation.

The solvent sublation using ion pairs of metal-2-naphthoate(2-HNph) and tetrabutyl ammonium ($TBA^+$) ion has been studied for the concentration and determination of ultra trace Bi(III), In(III) and Tl(Ⅲ) ions in water samples. The partition coefficients ($K_p$) and the extraction percentages of 2-HNph and the ion pairs to methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) were obtained as basic data. After the ion pair $TBA^+$·M$(Nph)_4^-$ was formed in water samples, the analytes were concentrated by the solvent sublation and the elements were determined by GF-AAS. The pH of the sample solution, the amount of the ligand and counter ion added and stirring time were optimized for the efficient formation of the ion pair. The type and amount of optimum surfactant, bubbling time with nitrogen and the type of solvent were investigated for the solvent sublation as well. 10.0 mL of 0.1 M 2-HNph and 2.0 mL of 0.1 M $TBA^+$ were added to a 1.0 L sample solution at pH 5.0. After 2.0 mL of 0.2%(w/v) Triton X-100 was added, the ion pairs were extracted into 20.0 mL MIBK in a flotation cell by bubbling. The analytes were determined by a calibration curve method with measured absorbances in MIBK, and the recovery was 80-120%.

Ion-exchange membranes have been widely used in various applications such as diffusion dialysis, electrolysis, electrodialysis, fuel cell etc [1-2]. When an electric current passes through the membrane system, the current is carried by both positive and negative ions in the bulk solution phases, whereas it is carried mainly by the counter-ions in the membrane.

Ion exchange is a chemical reaction between the ions in solution phase and ions in solid phase and is widely used in softening, demineralization, removal and collection of specific ions, and ion migration in the ground water. The ion selectivity depends on the charge and the hydrated radius of ion. The objective of this study was to examine the applicability of anion selectivity obtained from the ion exchange equilibrium OH/sup -/ < F/sup -/ < HCO/sup -/ < Cl/sup -/ < Br/sup -/ ≤ NO₃/sup -/ < SO₄/sup 2-/ to the column ion exchange. The column ion exchange was facilitated in the lower charge of counter-ion in the background electrolyte.

Whether ($AB_{w}$) may be neglected against ($A_{w}^{+}$) in the calculation of the extraction coefficient of ion-pairs was criticized by both experiments and theoretical consideration, where ($AB_{w}$) and ($A_{w}^{+}$) mean the molar concentration of ion-pair AB and cation $A^{+}$ in the aqueous phase. Ion-pair complexes were partitioned between phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) and n-octanol. Tetrabutylammonium, isopropamide and methylene blue were selected as cations and benzoic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid and taurodeoxycholic acid were selected as counter ions (anions). As a result, conventional methods which assume no existence of ($AB_{w}$) were proven to lack generality. The equation proposed in my earlier report was confirmed to be valid as a general method.
