In this paper, the $(SrPb)(CaMg)TiO_3$-xBi_2O_3{\cdot}3TiO_2$ ceramics with paraelectric properties were fabricated by the mixed oxide method. In order to investigate the behavior of charged particles, the characteristics of electrical conduction and thermally stimulated current were measured respectively. As a result on characteristics of the electrical conduction, the leakage current was increased as measuring temperature was increased. At room temperature, the conduction current was divided into the three steps as a function of DC electric field. The first step was Ohmic region due to ionic conduction, below 15[kV/cm]. The second step was showed a saturation which seems to be related to a depolarizing field occuring in field-enforced ferroelectric phase, between 15[kV/cm] and 40[kV/cm]. The third step was attributed to Child's law related to spare charge which injected from electrode, above 40[kV/cm]. Thermally stimulated currents(TSC) spectra with various biasing fields exhibited three distinguished peaks that were denoted as ${\alpha}$, ${\alpha}'$ and ${\beta}$ peak, each of which appeared at nearby -30, 20 and 95[$^{\circ}C$] respectively. It is confirmed that the a peak was due to trap electron trapped in the grainboundary, and ${\alpha}'$ peak that was observed above only 1.5[kV/mm] was attributed to field-enforced ferroelectric polarization. The origin of ${\beta}$ peak was identified as ion migration which caused the degradation.

The electric power can be converted into the mechanical power by a corona discharge system. This way has not stronger force than a electric motor. But it has been applied in various industrial fields because of many advantages, no moving parts, smaller noise, simpler structure, minimizing et al. In this paper, corona discharge system with multiple corona electrode installed in form of the ring, has been studied by focusing on the electrical and mechanical characteristics. Intensity of the corona discharge depends on applied electric field, and electric field is related to the applied voltage, discharge gap spacing(s), distance between each corona electrodes(d). As a result, in the case d/s=0.9, most intensive discharge occurred in this experiments. In the region of d/s<0.9, ionic wind velocity has saturation value in spite of decreasing corona current, because each ion velocities increase by the increasing electric field.

전자소자 산업의 미세화 및 대형화에 따라 플라즈마 밀도, 전위, 온도, 균일도 등 과 같은 플라즈마 특성을 제어하는 것은 차세대 플라즈마 장치 개발에 있어 매우 중요한 요소라고 할 수 있다. 특히, 급격한 소자의 미세화에 따라 플라즈마 공정을 통해 발생할 수 있는 damage는 큰 issue가 되어 왔고, 많은 연구자들은 이를 해결하기 위해서 다각적인 노력을 진행해 왔다. 그중 높은 전자 온도는 높은 전자 에너지에 의해 공정 중 소자를 손상 시키는 주된 원인이라고 보고되고 있으며, 이에 대한 제어기술은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 두 개의 내/외측으로 나뉘어진 나선형 모양의 ICP 안테나를 이용 하여 연구를 진행하였다. 내측의 안테나에는 2 MHz를 연결 하였으며, 외측의 안테나에는 13.56 MHz를 연결 하였으며, 내/외측 안테나에 각각 pulse mode로 입력전력을 인가해 줌으로써 플라즈마의 특성을 관찰하였다. Pulse / CW (Continuous Wave) mode에 있어서 전자온도의 측정을 위해 emissive probe 를 이용하여 plasma potential과 floating potential을 측정하였으며, 이를 통하여 전자온도를 계산하여 구할 수 있었다. Duty ratio 및 pulsing frequency의 변화에 따른 전자온도의 변화를 확인 할 수 있었으며, 그에 따른 플라즈마 균일도를 ion saturation current를 측정함으로써 관찰할 수 있었다. 실제 식각 공정에 있어서 Pulsing 조건에 따른 식각 특성을 관찰하기 위해, SiO2, ACL (Amorphous Carbon Layer)에 대해 식각을 진행하였으며, 식각 메커니즘 분석을 위해 이온에너지 분포의 변화를 PSM (Plasma Sampling Mass-spectroscopy)을 이용하여 측정하였다.

In this paper we proposed a new source-drain structure for N-type MOSFET which can suppress the output resistance reduction of a device in saturation region due to soft break down leakage at high drain voltage when the gate is biased around relatively low voltage. When a device is generally used as a switch at high gate bias the current level is very important for the operation. but in electronic circuit like an amplifier we should mainly consider the output resistance for the stable voltage gain and the operation at low gate bias. Hence with T-SUPREM simulator we designed devices that operate at low gate bias and high gate bias respectively without a extra photo mask layer and ion-implantation steps. As a result the soft break down leakage due to impact ionization is reduced remarkably and the output resistance increases about 3 times in the device that operates at the low gate bias. Also it is expected that electronic circuit designers can easily design a circuit using the offered N-type MOSFET device with the better output resistance.

Deep sub-micron bulk CMOS circuits require gate electrode materials such as metal silicide and titanium silicide for gate oxides. Many authors have conducted research to improve the quality of the sub-micron gate oxide. However, few have reported on the electrical quality and reliability of an ultra-thin gate. In this paper, we will recommend a novel shallow trench isolation structure and a two-step TiS $i_2$ formation process to improve the corner metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) for sub-0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ VLSI devices. Differently from using normal LOCOS technology, deep sub-micron CMOS devices using the novel shallow trench isolation (STI) technology have unique "inverse narrow-channel effects" when the channel width of the device is scaled down. The titanium silicide process has problems because fluorine contamination caused by the gate sidewall etching inhibits the silicide reaction and accelerates agglomeration. To resolve these Problems, we developed a novel two-step deposited silicide process. The key point of this process is the deposition and subsequent removal of titanium before the titanium silicide process. It was found by using focused ion beam transmission electron microscopy that the STI structure improved the narrow channel effect and reduced the junction leakage current and threshold voltage at the edge of the channel. In terms of transistor characteristics, we also obtained a low gate voltage variation and a low trap density, saturation current, some more to be large transconductance at the channel for sub-0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ VLSI devices.

태양전지 제작 시 표면에 피라미드 구조를 형성하면 입사되는 광의 흡수를 높여 광 생성 전류의 향상에 기여한다. 일반적인 KOH를 이용한 습식 표면조직화 공정은 평균 10%의 반사율을 보였으며, 유도 결합 플라즈마를 이용한 RIE 공정은 평균 5.4%의 더 낮은 반사율을 보였다. 그러나 RIE 공정을 이용한 표면조직화는 낮은 반사율과 서브 마이크론 크기의 표면 구조를 만들 수 있지만 플라즈마 조사에 의한 표면 손상이 많이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 표면 손상은 태양전지 제작 시 표면에서 높은 재결합 영역으로 작용하게 되어 포화 전류(saturation currents, $J_0$)를 증가시키고 캐리어 수명(carrier lifetime, ${\tau}$)을 낮추는 결함 요소로 작용한다. 이러한 플라즈마에 의한 표면 손상을 제거하기 위해 HF, HNO3, DI-water를 이용하여 DRE(Damage Remove Etching) 공정을 진행하였다. DRE 공정은 HF : DI-water 솔루션과 HNO3 : HF : DI-water 솔루션의 두 가지 공정을 이용하여 공정 시간을 가변하며 진행하였다. 포화전류($J_0$), 캐리어 수명(${\tau}$), 벌크 캐리어 수명(Bulk ${\tau}$)을 비교를 하기위해 KOH, RIE, RIE + DRE 공정을 진행한 세 가지 샘플로 실험을 진행하였다. DRE 공정을 적용할 경우 공정 시간이 지날수록 반사도가 높아지는 경향을 보였지만, 두 번째의 최적화된 솔루션 공정에서 $2.36E-13A/cm^2$, $42{\mu}s$의 $J_0$, Bulk ${\tau}$값과 가장 높은 $26.4{\mu}s$의 ${\tau}$를 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 오제 재결합(auger recombination)이 가장 많이 발생하는 지역인 표면과 불균일한 도핑 영역에서 DRE 공정을 통해 나아진 표면 특성과 균일한 도핑 프로파일을 형성하게 되어 재결합 영역과 $J_0$가 감소 된 것으로 판단된다. 높아진 반사도의 경우 $SiN_x$를 이용한 반사방지막을 통해 표면 반사율을 1% 이내로 내릴 수 있어 보완이 가능하였다. 본 연구에서는 RIE 공정 중 플라즈마에 의해 발생하는 표면 손상 제거를 통하여 캐리어 라이프 타임의 향상된 조건을 찾기 위한 연구를 진행하였으며, 기존 RIE 공정에 비해 반사도의 상승은 있지만 플라즈마로 인한 표면 손상을 제거하여 오제 재결합에 의한 발생하는 $J_0$를 낮출 수 있었고 높은 ${\tau}$값인 $26.4{\mu}s$의 결과를 얻어 추후 태양전지 제작에 향상된 효율을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, $Cl_2/BCI_3$ magnetized inductively coupled plasmas (MICP) were used to etch GaN and the effects of magnetic confinements of inductively coupled plasmas on the GaN etch characteristics were investigated as a function of $Cl_2/BCI_3$. Also, the effects of Kr addition to the magnetized $Cl_2/BCI_3$ plasmas on the GaN etch rates were investigated. The characteristics of the plasmas were estimated using a Langmuir probe and quadrupole ma~s spectrometry (QMS). Etched GaN profiles were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The small addition of $Cl_2/BCI_3$ (10-20%) in $Cl_2$ increased GaN etch rates for both with and without the magnetic confinements. The application of magnetic confinements to the $Cl_2/BCI_3$ inductively coupled plasmas (ICP) increased GaN etch rates and changed the $Cl_2/BCI_3$ gas composition of the peak GaN etch rate from 10% $BCI_3$ to 20% $BCI_3$. It also increased the etch selectivity over photoresist, while slightly reducing the selectivity over $Si0_2$. The application of the magnetic field significantly increased positive $BCI_2{\;}^+$ measured by QMS and total ion saturation current measured by the Langmuir probe. Other species such as CI, BCI, and CI+ were increased while species such as $BCl_2$ and $BCI_3$ were decreased with the application of the magnetic field. Therefore, it appears that the increase of GaN etch rate in our experiment is related to the increased dissociative ionization of $BCI_3$ by the application of the magnetic field. The addition of 10% Kr in an optimized $Cl_2/BCI_3$ condition (80% $Cl_2/$ 20% $BCI_3$) with the magnets increased the GaN etch rate about 60%. More anisotropic GaN etch profile was obtained with the application of the magnetic field and a vertical GaN etch profile could be obtained with the addition of 10% Kr in an optimized $Cl_2/BCI_3$ condition with the magnets.

In the past twenty years, there has been a rapid increase in the volume of traffic in Korea due to the Korean great growth of the Korean economy. Since transformation provides an infrastructure vital to economic growth, it becomes more and more an integral part of the Korea economy. The importance of coastal shipping stands out in particular, not only because of the expansion limit on the road network, but also because of saturation in the capacity of rail transportation. In spite of this increase and its importance, coastal shipping is falling behind partly because it is givenless emphasis than ocean-going shipping and other inland transportation systems and partly because of overcompetition due to excessive ship tonnage. Therefore, estimating and planning optimum ship tonnage is the first take to develop Korean coastal shipping. This paper aims to estimate the optimum coastal ship tonnage by computer simulation and finally to draw up plans for the ship tonnage balance according to supply and demand. The estimation of the optimum ship tonnage is peformed by the method of Origin -Destimation and time series analysis. The result are as follows : (1) The optimum ship tonnage in 1987 was 358, 680 DWT, which is 54% of the current ship tonnage (481 ships, 662, 664DWT) that is equal to the optimum ship tonnage in 1998. this overcapacity result is in excessive competition and financial difficulties in Korea coastal shipping. (2) The excessive ship tonnage can be broken down into ship types as follows : oil carrier 250, 926 DWT(350%), cement carrier 9, 977 DWT(119%), iron material/machinery carrier 25, 665 DWT(117%), general cargo carrier 17, 416DWT(112%). (3) the current total ship crew of 5, 079 is more than the verified optimally efficient figure of 3, 808 by 1271. (4) From the viewpoint of management strategy, it is necessary that excessive ship tonnage be reduced and uneconomic outdated vessels be broken up. And its found that the diversion into economically efficient fleets is urgently required in order to meet increasing annual rate in the amounts of cargo(23, 877DWT). (5) The plans for the ship tonnage balance according to supply and demand are as follows 1) The establishment of a legislative system for the arrangement of ship tonnage. This would involve; (a) The announcement of an optimum tonnage which guides the licensing of cargo vessels and ship tonnage supply. (b) The establishment of an organization that substantially arrangement tonnage in Korea coastal shipping. 2) The announcement of an optimum ship tonnage both per year and short-term that guides current tonnage supply plans. 3) The settlement of elastic tariffs resulting in the protect6ion of coastal shipping's share from other tonnage supply plans. 4) The settlement of elastic tariffs resulting in the protection of coastal shipping's share from other transportation systems. 4) Restriction of ocean-going vessels from participating in coastal shipping routes. 5) Business rationalization of coastal shipping company which reduces uneconomic outdated vessels and boosts the national economy. If we are to achieve these ends, the followings are prerequisites; I) Because many non-licensed vessels are actually operating and threatening the safe voyage of the others in Korea coastal routes, it is necessary that those ind of vessels be controlled and punished by the authorities. II) The supply of ship tonnage in Korean coastal routes should be predently monitored because most of the coastal vessels are to small to be diverted into ocean-going routes in case of excessive supply. III) Every ship type which is engaged in coastal shipping should be specialized according to the characteristics of its routes as soon possible.
