  • The gibberellins (GAs) play important roles in plant growth and development. Twenty three fungi were isolated from the roots of Lindera obtusiloba and Vaccinium koreanum. The numbers of GA-producing fungi were six strains from Lindera obtusiloba and four strains from Vaccinium koreanum. The fungi with GAs-producing activity were incubated for seven days in 40 ml of Czapek's liquid medium at $25^{\circ}C$, 120 rpm, and the amount of each GA in the medium was measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) to determine the productivity of GAs. Penicillium griseofulvum KNU5379 produced more GA in case of $GA_{3}$ than Neurospora crassa known as a GAs-producing fungus. P. griseofulvum KNU5379 was shown to produce $GA_1\;9.79\;ng,\;GA_3\;133.58\;ng,\;GA_4\;2.64\;ng,\;GA_7\;7.80\;ng\;and\;GA_{53}\;0.73\;ng$ in 25 ml of liquid medium. Bioassay using culture fluid of GAs-production fungi was performed on rice sprout.

  • 이번 연구는 $BCl_3/CF_4$ 플라즈마를 사용하여 반도체소자 제조 시 널리 이용되는 GaAs 계열반도체 중 대표적인 재료인 GaAs/AlGaAs 및 GaAs/InGaP 구조를 선택적으로 건식 식각한 후 분석한 것이다. 공정변수로는 ICP 소스파워를 0-500W, RIE 파워를 0-50W 그리고 $BCl_3/CF_4$ 가스 혼합비를 중점적으로 변화시켰다. $BCl_3$ 플라즈마만을 사용한 경우 (20$BCl_3$, 20W RIE power, 300W ICP source power, 7.5mTorr) 는 GaAs:AlGaAs의 선택비가 0.5:1 이었으며 이때 GaAs의 식각률은 ~2200${\AA}/min$ 이었으며 AlGaAs의 식각률은 ~4500${\AA}/min$ 이었다. 식각 후 표면의 RMS roughness은 < 2nm로 깨끗한 결과를 보여주었다. 15% $CF_4$ 가스가 혼합된 $17BCl_3/3CF_4$, 20W RIE power, 300W ICP source power, 7.5mTorr의 조건에서 3분 동안 공정한 결과 순수한 $BCl_3$ 플라즈마만을 사용한 경우보다 표면은 다소 거칠었지만 (RMS roughness: ~8.4) GaAs의 식각률 (~980nm/min)과 AlGaAs와 InGaP에 대한 GaAs의 선택도 (GaAs:AlGaAs=16:1, GaAs:InGaP=38:1)는 크게 증가하였다. 그리고 AlGaAs 및 InGaP의 경우 식각 시 나타난 휘발성이 낮은 식각 부산물 ($AlF_3:1300^{\circ}C$, $InF_3:1200^{\circ}C$)로 인하여 50nm/min 이하의 낮은 식각률을 보였고, 62.5%의 $CF_4$가 혼합된 $7.5BCl_3/12.5CF_4$플라즈마의 조건에서는 AlGaAs 및 InGaP에 대한 GaAs의 선택도가 각각 280:1, 250:1을 나타내었다.

  • we investigated the effect of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) temperature on photoluminescence (PL) of 635 nm InGaP/InGaAlP multiple quantum well structure. RTA is performed with the quantum well structure with 5.5 nm of well width. The highest PL peak intensity is shown at 1 min. of RTA at $720^{\circ}C$ sample as 3 times higher as compared to the as-grown sample. The effect may be assigned to an expected reduction in number of nonradiative recombination centers in the quantum well.

  • Decay kinetics of Ga(5s), Ga(5p) and Ga(4d) atoms in Ar were studied by laser induced fluorescence technique. Theground state gallium atoms in the gas phase were generated by pulsed dc discharge of trimethyl gallium and argon mixtures. Both pulsed discharge and YAG-DYE laser system were controlled by a dual channel pulse generator and the delay time between the end of discharge and laser pulses was set 3.0-6.0 ms. The Ga(5s) and Ga(4d) atoms were generated by single photon excitation from the ground state Ga atoms and radiative lifetimes as well as the total quenching rate constants in Ar were obtained from the pressure dependence of the fluorescence decay rates. The Ga(5p) atoms were populated by a two-photon excitation method and the cascade fluorescence from Ga(5s) atoms were analyzed to extract quenching rate constant of Ga(5p) atoms by Ar in addition to radiative lifetimes of Ga(5p) state. The magnitudes of the quenching rate constants by Ar for the low-lying excited states of Ga atoms are 1.6-3$ {\times}10^{-11}cm^3$ molecul$e^{-1}s^{-1}$, which are much larger than those for alkali, alkaline earth and Group 12 metals. Based on the measured rate constants, kinetic simulations were done to assign state-to-state rate constants.

  • 3-5족 화합물 반도체를 이용한 집광형 삼중 접합 태양전지는 35% 이상의 광변환 효율로 주목을 받고 있다. 일반적으로 삼중 접합 태양전지는 넓은 영역대의 파장을 흡수하기 위해 밴드갭이 다른 InGaP, GaAs, Ge이 사용된다. 그 중 하부셀은 기계적 강도가 높고 장파장을 흡수할 수 있는 Ge이 사용되는데, p-type Ge 기판위에 III-V 결정막 성장 시 5족 원소가 확산되어 pn접합을 형성하게 된다. 이러한 구조를 가진 Ge 하부셀이 효율적으로 홀-전자 쌍을 형성하기 위해서는 두꺼운 베이스와 얇은 에미터 접합이 필요하다. InGaP의 phosphorus는 낮은 확산계수로 인해 GaAs의 arsenic에 비해 얇은 접합이 형성 가능하며, Ge표면 에칭효과가 더 적다는 장점이 있다. 이를 고려해 우리 연구그룹에서는 metalorganic chemical vapor depostion(MOCVD)을 이용하여 Ge기판위에 성장한 InGaP layer의 특성을 관찰해 보았다. <111>로 $6^{\circ}$ 기울어진 p-type Ge(100) 기판위에 MOCVD를 통해 InGaP layer를 형성하였고, 성장된 layer를 atomic force microscope(AFM)와 high-resolution x-ray diffraction(HRXRD)을 이용하여 표면형상, 조성, 응력상태 등을 각각 관찰하였다. 또한 phosphorus 확산에 의해 형성되는 도핑농도는 electrochemical capacitance-voltage(ECV)을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 성장된 Ge기판위의 InGaP layer의 경우 특징적으로 높이 50 nm, 밑변 길이 $1\;{\mu}m$의 경사진 표면을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 이러한 구조는 TMIn과 TMGa의 비율이 증가 할수록 감소하였다. 따라서 이러한 경사진 형태의 구조는 격자 불일치 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 추가적으로 V/III ratio의 최적화를 통해 1.3 nm의 표면 거칠기를 갖는 InGaP layer를 얻을 수 있었다. ECV를 통해 Ge 하부셀의 pn접합 형성을 관찰한 결과 약 160 nm에서 접합이 형성되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한, 같은 성장 조건의 샘플을 1000 초 열처리 후에 접합깊이의 변화를 관찰한 결과 180 nm에서 접합이 관찰되었지만, GaAs의 arsenic에 의한 pn접합은 열처리 후에 그 깊이가 170 nm에서 300 nm로 증가 하였다. 따라서 삼중접합 태양전지의 제작 공정을 고려할 경우 phosphorus에 의한 접합 형성이 Ge 하부셀의 동작 특성에 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the cytotoxicity of gallium arsenide(GaAs), indium phosphide(InP) and indium arsenide(InAs) all of which are used a$ the semiconductor eletments in semiconductor industry. Methods: Cytotoxicity id the alveolar macrophage was evaluated by the measurement of in vitro magnetometry, LDH release assay and histological examination. Results: The relaxation curves by the in vitro magnetometry showed that GaAs has the cytotoxicity for the alveolar macrophage which is more significant in the higher dosages, while this cytotoxicity is not appeared in the groups added with InP or InAs or PBS. In the decay constant for two minutes after magnetization, GaAs-added groups showed a significant decrease with increasing doses, but both InP- and InAs-added groups did not show any significance. The LDH release assay showed a dose-dependent increasing tendency in the GaAs-, InP- and InAs-added groups. In terms of cellular morphological changes, GaAs-added groups revealed such severe cellular damages as prominent destructions in cell membranes and their morphological changes of nucleus, while InP- and InAs-added groups remained intact in intracellular structures, except for cytoplasmic degenerations. Conclusions: It is suggested that GaAs is more influential to cytotoxicity of alveolar macrophages than InP and InAs.

  • Background: The function of a bioprosthetic heart valve is determined largely by the material properties of the valve cusps. The uniaxial tensile test has been studied extensively. This type of testing, however, does not replicate the natural biaxial loading condition. The objective of the present study was to investigate the regional variability of the biaxial strain versus pressure relationship based on the types of fixation liquid models. Material and Method: Porcine aortic valves and pulmonary valves were assigned to three groups: the untreated fresh group, the fixed with glutaraldehyde (GA) group, and the glutaraldehyde with solvent (e.g., ethanol) group. For each group we measured the radial and circumferential stretch characteristics of the valve as a function of pressure change. Result: Radial direction elasticity of porcine aortic and pulmonary valves were better than circumferential direction elasticity in fresh, GA fixed and GA+solvent fixed groups (p=0.00). Radial and circumferential direction elasticity of pulmonary valves were better than aortic valves in GA fixed, and GA+solvent fixed groups (p=0.00). Radial and circumferential direction elasticity of aortic valves were decreased after GA and GA+solvent fixation(p=0.00), except for circumferential elasticity of GA+solvent fixed valves (p=0.785). The radial (p=0.137) and circumferential (p=0.785) direction of elasticity of aortic valves were not significantly different between GA fixed. and GA+solvent fixed groups. Radial (p=0.910) and circumferential (p=0.718) direction of elasticity of pulmonary valve also showed no significant difference between GA fixed and GA+solvent fixed groups. Conclusion: When fixing porcine valves with GA, adding a solvent does not cause a loss of mechanical properties, but, does not improve elasticity either. Radial direction elasticity of porcine aortic and pulmonary valves was better than circumferential direction elasticity.

  • In this study. we report the properties of optically pumped stimulated emission at room temperature (RT) from column-III nitride semiconductors of GaN, GaInN, AlGaN/GaN double hetero-structure (DH) and AlGaN/GaInN DH which grown by low pressure metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy on sapphire substrate using an AIN buffer-layer. The peak wavelength of the stimulated emission at RT from AlGaN/GaN DH is 370nm and the threshold of excitation pumping power density (P$\_$th/) is about 89㎾/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and they from AlGaN/GaInN DH are 403nm and 130㎾/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. The P$\_$th/ of AlGaN/GaN and AlGaN/GaInN DHs are lower than the bulk materials due to optical confinement within the active layers of GaN and GaInN. The optical gain and the polarization of stimulated emission characteristics are presented in this article.

The active layer of 7-period InGaAsP(1.127 eV)/InGaAsP(0.954 eV) multi-quantum well structure was grown by the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The grating for waveguide was also fabricated by the implementation of the Mach-Zehender holographic method of two laser beams interference of He- Cd laser and the fabricated laser diode has the dimension of the laser length of $400{\mu}m$ and the ridge width of $1.2{\mu}m$. The laser diode shows the threshold current of 3.59 mA, the threshold voltage of 1.059 V. For the room-temperature operation with the current of 13.54 mA and the voltage of 1.12 V, the peak wavelength is about 1309.70 nm and optical power is 13.254 mW.
