  • In this paper, silicon thin-film solar cells(Si- TFSC) and a-Si/c-Si heterojunction solar cells(HJ-cell) are investigated. The Si-TFSC was prepared on glass substrate by depositing $1-3{\mu}m$ thin-film silicons by glow discharge method. The $a-Si:H/{\mu}c-Si:H$ tandem solar cells on textured ZnO:A1 TCO (transparent conducting oxide) showed improved Jsc in top and bottom cells than that on $SnO_2:F$ TCO. This enhancement of jsc resulted from improved light trapping effect by front textured ZnO:A1. The a-Si/c-Si HJ-cells with simple structure without high efficiency features are suffering from low Voc and Jsc. The improvement of front nip and back interface properties by adopting high quality silicon-films at low temperature should be done both for increasing device performances and production cost.

  • The Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells have been achieved until almost 20% efficiency by NREL. These solar cells include chemically deposited CdS as buffer layer between CIGS absorber layer and ZnO window layer. Although CIGS solar cells with CdS buffer layer show excellent performance, the short wavelength response of CIGS solar cell is limited by narrow CdS band gap of about 2.42 eV. Taking into consideration the environmental aspect, the toxic Cd element should be replaced by a different material. Among Cd-free candidate materials, the CIGS thin film solar cells with ZnS buffer layer seem to be promising with 17.2%(module by showa shell K.K.), 18.6%(small area by NREL). However, ZnS/CIGS solar cells still show lower performance than CdS/CIGS solar cells. There are several reported reasons to reduce the efficiency of ZnS/CIGS solar cells. Nakada reported ZnS thin film had many defects such as stacking faults, pin-holes, so that crytallinity of ZnS thin film is poor, compared to CdS thin film. Additionally, it was known that the hetero-interface between ZnS and CIGS layer made unfavorable band alignment. The unfavorable band alignment hinders electron transport at the heteo-interface. In this study, we focused on growing defect-free ZnS thin film and for favorable band alignment of ZnS/CIGS, bandgap of ZnS and CIGS, valece band structure of ZnS/CIGS were modified. Finally, we verified the photovoltaic properties of ZnS/CIGS solar cells.

  • Through advanced computer technology, our physical environment became a flexible and liquid space that is a multi-functional space structure, hetero-alliance, formless, interactivity. We attempt to interpretate Deleuze's Other geometry as a space designer. Hence first, the aim of this study is to define the meaning of the Other and Other geometry. Second, to extract keywords out of the Other geometry to analyze the work. Third, to analyze the work using the space formative languages(blob, blurring, distortion, folding, layering, lightness, nesting, repetition, shear, transparency, twisting, unfolding, warping, waving, and weaving). The 13 works were selected which have been issued after year 2000 with the focus on liquid space studies. The methods of this study are literature research and contents analysis. The results of the analysis were as follows. First, the source is the Other who is a hidden potentials in the surrounding environment, and this source has the capability of making it part of reality anytime. Other geometry means it is a theory that is comprised of various lines that with the kind of experiences that one has in life. Second, the key words that were extracted from the theory of Deleuze's Other geometry were of (1)hetero-alliance(reflected in a sculptured shape or a fluid abstract form), (2)dis-form(by speculating the user's movements, and combining space elements with external forces), (3)interactivity (information was exchanged real time between the user and his environment where the space took on a sensory institution). Finally, after studying the works using the space formative languages, we found that blob, warping, waving were used externally, and repetition, warping and waving for mostly used internally.

  • Fe thin films exhibited (100) preferential orientation when they were deposited at low deposition rate of $0.1{\AA}/s$ on glass substrates by using facing target sputtering system. The (100) oriented Fe layer induces (100) orientation of Pt layer deposited on it owing to hetero-epitaxial growth. After annealing at $600^{\circ}C$ in $H_2$ atmosphere, FePt films exhibited f.c.t. (001) texture in the whole film caused by inter-diffusion between atoms. We have also confirmed that the homogeneously inter-diffused compositional modulation in the film after the annealing process. Furthermore, annealing process in $Ar+H_2$ atmosphere at $400^{\circ}C$ during Pt deposition was effective for attaining Pt (100) texture. The annealing process during Pt deposition also induced in low annealing temperature and decreased annealing time for attaining the FePt f.c.t. (001) structure.

  • 3-(2-benzotriazolovinyl)thiophene (BVT) was synthesized by the connection of the thiophene with the electron-withdrawing group, benzotriazole, through the vinylene. Its structure was confirmed by FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR and 2D hetero-cosy spectroscopy. Both BVT and 3-octylthiophene (OT) were copolymerized and showed an average molecular weight of 12000 (PDI 2.67) and 15000 (PDI 2.55), respectively. The copolymers were dissolved in the organic solvent such as chloroform, THF, TCE, etc. The mole ratios of BVT and OT in the synthesized copolymers were confirmed as 1 : 1.8 and 1 : 2.8 from $^1H$-NMR spectra. The UV-vis maximum absorption of copolymers appeared at the wavelength of 470 nm and 465 nm and the photoluminescence at ${\lambda}_{max}$ = 662 nm and 641 nm correspond to red-orange light. The band gaps of copolymers at 1.96 eV and 2.02 eV were found to be higher than those of poly(3-octylthiophene). The HOMO energy levels of the copolymers decreased overall in comparison with those of poly(3-octylthiophene), but the overall LUMO energy level increased.

  • In the region of high temperature, a very appreciable short-circuit current Is was observed from M1(A1)-P(PET)-M2(Cu) system sandwitched with hetero metals without applying external field. The short-circuit current Is is greatly dependent on electrode material and it has been certified by measuring open-circuit voltage. From these experimental results, we can see that Is is due to electro-chemical action in M-P interface. In this electro-chemical reaction,the generation reaction and the solution reacftion of the oxidies from electrode are probably co-exist and the measured values of the open-circuit voltage was almost correspond to those calculated from Nernst equation.

  • We propose a new category of hybrid multi-layer neural networks with hetero nodes such as Fuzzy Set based Polynomial Neurons (FSPNs) and Polynomial Neurons (PNs). These networks are based on a genetically optimized multi-layer perceptron. We develop a comprehensive design methodology involving mechanisms of genetic optimization and genetic algorithms, in particular. The augmented genetically optimized HFPNN (namely gHFPNN) results in a structurally optimized structure and comes with a higher level of flexibility in comparison to the one we encounter in the conventional HFPNN. The GA-based design procedure being applied at each layer of HFPNN leads to the selection of preferred nodes (FPNs or PNs) available within the HFPNN. In the sequel, two general optimization mechanisms are explored. First, the structural optimization is realized via GAs whereas the ensuing detailed parametric optimization is carried out in the setting of a standard least square method-based learning. The performance of the gHFPNNs quantified through experimentation where we use a number of modeling benchmarks-synthetic and experimental data already experimented with in fuzzy or neurofuzzy modeling.

  • Ni/Au 쇼트키 접합의 산화를 통해 항복전압이 증가하고 누설 전류가 감소한 수평방향 GaN 쇼트키 장벽 다이오드를 제작하였다. 산화 과정 후, 턴-온 전압이 미세하게 증가하였으며 높은 애노드 전압하에서 애노드 전류가 증가하였다. 5분과 10분의 산화 과정 후, 누설 전류는 1nA 이하 수준으로 현저히 감소하였다. Edge Termination 방법으로 Floating Metal Ring을 사용하고, 산화 과정을 적용하여 제안된 GaN 쇼트키 장벽 다이오드의 항복전압은 750볼트의 큰 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 상온과 $125^{\circ}C$ 에서 제작한 GaN 쇼트키 장벽 다이오드의 역방향 회복 파형도 측정하였으며, 제작한 소자는 매우 빠른 역방향 회복 특성을 보였다.
