An alkaline fibrinolytic protease-producing bacteria was isolated front Korean traditional soy sauce and identified as Bacillus subtilis K7 from the results of analyses of its morphological and physiological properties, $API^{\circledR}$, and Biolog system. The enzyme was purified by 75% ammonium sulfate fractionation, QAE-Sephadex anion and SP-Sephadex cation exchange column chromatography and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The specific activity of the purified enByme was 233.9 unit/mg protein and the yield of enzyme was 3.8%. The homogeneity of the purified enzyme was confirmed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated about 21,500 Da by SDS-polyacrylamide get electrophoresis and gel chromatography. The optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme activity were $40^{\circ}C$ and 9.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable in a pH range of 5.0 to 12.0, and 60% of its activity was lost on heat treatment at $50^{\circ}C$ for 20 min. The activity of the purified enzyme was inhibited by the presence of $Fe^{2+},\;Ag^{2+},\;Cu6{2+}$, iodoacetate, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), and trans-1,2-diaminocycloheane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (CDTA). The results indicates that the enzyme requires a metal ion for its enzymatic activity.

최근 폴리머를 기판으로 하는 Flexible TFT (thin film transistor)나 3D-ULSI (three dimensional ultra large-scale integrated circuit)에서 높은 에너지 소비효율과, 빠른 반응 속도를 실현 시키기 위해 낮은 비저항(resistivity)을 가지며, 높은 홀 속도(carrier hall mobility)를 가지는 다결정 반도체 박막(poly-crystalline thin film)을 만들고자 하고 있다. 이를 실현 시키기 위해서는 높은 온도에서 장시간의 열처리가 필요하며, 이는 폴리머 기판의 문제점을 야기시킬 뿐 아니라 공정시간이 길다는 단점이 있었다. 이에 반도체 박막의 재결정화 온도를 낮춰주는 metal (Al, Ni, Co, Cu, Ag, Pd etc.,)을 이용하여 결정화 시키는 방법이 많이 연구 되어지고 있지만, 이 또한 재결정화가 이루어진 반도체 박막 안에 잔여 금속(residual metal)이 존재하게 되어 비저항을 높이고, 홀 속도를 감소시키는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 실험은 HiPIMS (High power impulse magnetron sputtering)와 PIII and D (plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition) 공정을 복합시킨 프로세스로 적은양의 금속이온주입을 통하여 재결정화 온도를 낮췄을 뿐 아니라, 잔여 하는 금속의 양도 매우 적은 다결정 반도체 박막을 만들 수 있었다. 분석 장비로는 박막의 결정화도를 측정하기 위해 GAXRD (glancing angle X-ray diffractometer)를 사용하였고, 잔여 하는 금속의 양과 화학적 결합 상태를 알아보기 위해 XPS를 통해 분석을 하였다. 마지막으로 홀 속도와 비저항을 측정하기 위해 Hall measurement와 Four-point prove를 사용하였다.

그래핀(Graphene)은 모든 탄소 동소체의 기본구성 요소로 2 차원 결정구조를 가지며, 양자홀 효과(quantum Hall effect), 뛰어난 열 전도도, 고 탄성, 광학적 투과성 등과 같은 탁월한 물리적 성질을 보이는 물질이다. 이러한 그래핀의 우수한 특성은 전계 효과 트랜지스터(field effect transistor), 화학/바이오 센서, 투명 전극(transparent electrode) 등의 다양한 전자소자를 개발하는 응용 가능하다. 그 중, 그래핀 투명전극의 제조는 가장 응용가능성이 높은 분야이다. 현재 투명전극 물질로는 인듐-주석 산화물(indium tin oxide; ITO)가 널리 이용되고 있으나, 인듐의 고갈로 인한 공급부족 문제 및 고 생산비용, 휘어지지 않는 취성 등의 단점을 지니고 있다. 따라서, 우수한 광학적 투과성과 전기전도성을 지닌 그래핀이 ITO의 대체 물질로서 각광받고 있다.[1-5] 본 연구에서는 그래핀의 투명전도필름의 응용을 위해 면저항을 낮추기 위한 방법으로 화학적 도핑(doping)을 이용하였다. 그래핀은 구리(copper; Cu) 호일을 촉매로 사용하여 열 화학증착법(Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition)을 이용하여 합성하였다. 합성된 그래핀은 PMMA(Poly(methyl methacrylate)) 전사법을 이용하여 산화실리콘(SiO2) 기판에 전사 후, 염화은(AgCl)과 클로로벤젠(C6H5Cl)으로 만든 콜로이드(colloid) 용액에 디핑(dipping)하여 그래핀에 은 입자를 도핑 하였다. 그 결과, 은 입자 도핑 농도에 따라 면저항이 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 제작된 그래핀 투명전도성 필름의 투과도는 자외선-가시광선-근적외선 분광법(UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy)를 이용하여 측정하였고, 라만 분광법(Raman spectroscopy)을 통해 그래핀 필름의 질적 우수성과 성장 균일도를 조사하였다.

최근 폴리머를 기판으로 하는 고속 Flexible TFT (Thin film transistor)나 고효율의 박막 태양전지(Thin film solar cell)를 실현시키기 위해 낮은 비저항(resistivity)을 가지며, 높은 홀 속도(carrier hall mobility)와 긴 이동거리를 가지는 다결정 반도체 박막(poly-crystalline semiconductor thin film)을 만들고자 하고 있다. 지금까지 다결정 박막 반도체를 만들기 위해서는 비교적 높은 온도에서 장시간의 열처리가 필요했으며, 이는 폴리머 기판의 문제점을 야기시킬 뿐 아니라 공정시간이 길다는 단점이 있었다. 이에 반도체 박막의 재결정화 온도를 낮추어 주는 metal (Al, Ni, Co, Cu, Ag, Pd, etc.)을 이용하여 결정화시키는 방법(MIC)이 많이 연구되어지고 있지만, 이 또한 재결정화가 이루어진 반도체 박막 안에 잔류 금속(residual metal)이 존재하게 되어 비저항을 높이고, 홀 속도와 이동거리를 감소시키는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 실험은, 종래의 MIC 결정화 방법에서 이용되어진 금속 증착막을 이용하는 대신, HIPIMS (High power impulse magnetron sputtering)와 PIII&D (Plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition) 공정을 복합시킨 방법으로 적은 양의 알루미늄을 이온주입함으로써 재결정화 온도를 낮추었을 뿐 아니라, 잔류하는 금속의 양도 매우 적은 다결정 반도체 박막을 만들 수 있었다. 분석 장비로는 박막의 결정화도를 측정하기 위해 GIXRD (Glazing incident x-ray diffraction analysis)와 Raman 분광분석법을 사용하였고, 잔류하는 금속의 양과 화학적 결합 상태를 알아보기 위해 XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)를 통한 분석을 하였다. 또한, 표면 상태와 막의 성장 상태를 확인하기 위하여 HRTEM(High resolution transmission electron microscopy)를 통하여 관찰하였다.

This paper deals with grain size analysis, heavy mineral analysis and trace element analysis of the recent sediments of Han River basin between Cheongpyong, Gyeonggi province and Seoul. For each location the samples are taken at river shoreline, river berm and river dune. The size analysis discloses that the mean values range from $-1.37{\phi}$ to $-1.60{\phi}$, sorting values range from 0.25 to 1.84, skewness values range from -0.44 to 0.51 and kurtosis values range from -0.1 to 1.75. Based on the textural parameters, the dune sand can be distinguished from the shoreline-berm sand. The content of heavy minerals of each sample ranges from 0.04 to 4.7%. The principal heavy minerals are ilmenite, magnetite, leucoxene, garnet, amphibole, pyroxene, kyanite, zircon, monazite, tourmaline, epidote, limonite, and minor minerals are apatite, sillimanite, andalusite and olivine. In general, dune sand samples contain more heavy minerals than the samples of shoreline or berm sand. This suggests that the heavy mineral concentration is affected by wind action more than by any other causes. The content of ilmenite and leucoxene decreases, whereas the content of zircon and epidote increases as it approaches the downstream region. The differences result from the variance of geological occurrences. The emission spectrochemical analysis and colorimetry analysis revealed that the content of Ni and V in the heavy minerals of the study area are higher than those of other stream sediments in Korea. On the other hand the content of Cu, Ph, Zn, Mo, W, P, Mn, Cr, Ag and Sn are lower in the study area. It has been observed also that the contents of all the elements except for Bi are higher in this area than the samples of marine sediments of Yellow Sea.

$(Sr_{0.85}Ca_{0.15})TiO_3$(SCT) thin films were deposited on Pt-coated $TiO_2/SiO_2/Si$ wafer by the rf sputtering method. Experiments were conducted to investigate the electrical properties of SCT thin films with various top electrodes. Various top electrodes as Pt, Al, Ag, Cu were deposited on SCT thin films by sputter and thermal evaporator. The characteristics of C-F and C-V of SCT thin films were not obviously varied with various top electrodes, SCT thin films annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ represents as favorable capacitance characteristics than SCT thin films not annealed, and Pt top electrode have the most high capacitance. The characteristic of I-V of SCT thin films showed that Pt top electrode revealed more less leakage current density than other electrodes, had a leakage current density below 10-8$[A/cm^2]$ until 25[V] applied voltage.

Pyrocatechase as a phenolytic dioxygenase was extracted from the benzoate-induced cells of a soil bacterium, a member of Pseudomonadaceae, and purified partially by DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography and Sephadex G-75 gel filtration. Final preparation of the enzyme yielding 200 fold purification over the crude extracts showed a specific activity of about 40 ${\mu}moles$ per minute per mg protein based on catechol as the substrate. The enzyme showed a very limited substrate specificity towards catechol for its catalytic activity. Based on the inhibition study with the substrate analogues, it was assumed that ortho dihydroxy groups on the aromatic ring may participate in the enzyme-substrate binding. The $K_m$ value for catechol was obtained as $1.9{\times}10^{-6}M$, and the optimum activity of the enzyme was obtained at the pH range of 7∼10 and $35^{\circ}C$. With SH-group blocking agents the enzyme was inhibited seriously. The activity of enzyme was also inhibited by the addition of some heavy metals, $Ag^+$ and $Cu^{2+}$, but was not affected by EDTA. General property of the enzyme was characterized and the possible nature of the enzyme active center was also discussed.

We studied the influence of different types of metal electrodes on the performance of solution-processed zinc tin oxide (ZTO) thin-film transistors. The ZTO thin-film was obtained by spin-coating the sol-gel solution made from zinc acetate and tin acetate dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol. Various metals, Al, Au, Ag and Cu, were used to make contacts with the solution-deposited ZTO layers by selective deposition through a metal shadow mask. Contact resistance between the metal electrode and the semiconductor was obtained by a transmission line method (TLM). The device based on an Al electrode exhibited superior performance as compared to those based on other metals. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) allowed us to measure the work function of the oxide semiconductor to understand the variation of the device performance as a function of the types metal electrode. The solution-processed ZTO contained nanopores that resulted from the burnout of the organic species during the annealing. This different surface structure associated with the solution-processed ZTO gave a rise to a different work function value as compared to the vacuum-deposited counterpart. More oxygen could be adsorbed on the nanoporous solution-processed ZTO with large accessible surface areas, which increased its work function. This observation explained why the solution-processed ZTO makes an ohmic contact with the Al electrode.

The metallization is the key to determining cell costs, cell performance, and system reliability. Screen printing technology suffers from several limitations affecting mainly the front grid. The buried contact solar cell (BCSC) was specifically desinged to be compatible with low cost, mass production techniques and avoid the conventional metallization problem. By using electroless plating technique, we performed this metallization inexpensively and reliably. This paper presents the details of the optimization procedure of metallization schemes on laser grooved cell surfaces. Commercially available Ni, Cu and Ag plating solutions were applied for the cell metallization. The application of those solutions on the buried contact front metallization has resulted in an cell efficiency of 18.8%. The cell parameters are an open circuit voltage of 651 mV, short circuit current density of 37.1 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and fill factor of 77.8 %. The efficiency of over 18 % was achieved in the above 90% of the batch.
