The method described offers rapid and efficient sample preparation using on-line microwave digestion of metal oxides in water sample with direct elemental detection by ICP-AES. The open tubing digestion system(OTD) and the restraint tubing digestion system(RTD) for flow injection(FI) were designed and tested to find the optimum conditions. Comparison of OTD and RTD indicated that RTD was 3 times faster on the digestion time, and 10 times higher on sample mass. Finally, the results of RTD agree well with those by conventional microwave open vessel in all cases and show good precision; Fe and Cu show good with about 5% of RSD, while Zn and Co more or less than 10% RSD.

The impedance characteristics of planar ICP have been measured and compared with the theoretical results obtained by the field equation. The resistance of the total impedance had a maximum point and the inductance decreased monotonically as the electron density increased from $2.5{\times}10^{10}cm^{-3}$ to $7{\times}10^{11}cm^{-3}$ and the Pressure from 1mT to 50mT. The impedance characteristics were also dependent on the profile of the electron density. The effective collision frequency, ${\nu}_{eff}$ was $9.0{\times}10^6Hz$ at 5mT and $.5{\times}10^7Hz$ at 100mT. The effective collision frequency at 5mT was not so different from that at 100mT and it is doe to the reduction of the discharge channel cross-section at high pressure. The estimated effective collision frequency from the simulation data was of the same order as the measured one.

The purpose of this research is to separate and quantitate selenium species in some food samples with HPLC-ICP-MS. Cation exchange chromatography showed efficient separation only for inorganic Se species while reversed phase ion pair chromatography showed good separation for both inorganic and organic Se species. $C_8$ column ($Symmetryshield^{TM}\;RP_8$, 3.5 ${\mu}m$, $4.6{\times}150$ mm) was used with optimum condition of 5% methanol mobile phase, 0.05% of nonafluorovaleric acid ion pairing reagent. Five standard Se species of Se(IV), Se(VI), SeCys(selenocystein), SeMet(selenomethionine) and Se-M-C(seleno methyl cystein) were separated successfully under the optimum condition (mobile phase; 5% methanol, ion-pairing reagent; 0.05% nonafluorovaleric acid, flow rate; 0.9 mL $min^{-1}$). To extract Se species, microwave assisted and enzyme-assisted extraction methods were studied. In enzyme-assisted extraction method, protease I for garlic, protease I plus trypsin for pork and mackerel, and protease XIV for tuna showed the best extraction efficiency. With the optimum condition for each sample, it was found that mostly inorganic Se, SeCys and SeMet are present in the sample studied ranging from few ${\mu}g$ $g^{-1}$ to few tens of ${\mu}g$ $g^{-1}$.

Arsenic (III) and arsenic (V) in disused mine tailing samples have been determined simutaneuously by hydride generation inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (HG-ICP-AES). Total arsenic was determined using 2% $NaBH_4$ and 6 M HCl after prereduction of As(V) to As(III) with) 1M KI. Arsenic (III) was determined selectively using citrate/citric acid buffer with range of pH 5-6, it was determined by HG-ICP-AES. Arsenic (V) can be evaluated by the differences. According to the results, arsenic (V) was over 90% among the total arsenic extracted from disused mine tailing samples.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown on the TiN-coated silicon substrate with different thickness of Ni and Co catalysts layer at $600^{\circ}C$ using inductively coupled plasma-chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD). The Ni and Co catalysts were formed using the RF magnetron sputtering system with various deposition times. It was found that the growth of CNTs was strongly influenced by the surface morphology of Ni and Co catalysts. With increasing deposition time, the thickness of catalysts increased and the grain boundary size of catalysts increased. The surface morphology of catalysts and CNTs were elucidated by SEM. The Raman spectrum further confirmed the graphitic structure of the CNTs. The turn-on field of CNTs grown on Ni and Co catalysts was about 2.7V/pm and 1.9V/pm respectively. Field emission current density of CNTs grown on Ni and Co catalysts was measured as $11.67mA/cm^2$ at $5.5V/{\mu}m$ and $1.5mA/cm^2$ at $5.5V/{\mu}m$ respectively.

Two extraction techniques, Ultrasonic and Microwave extraction method, were tested for the determination of arsenic in contaminated soil SRM (Montana Soil). The extraction mixture was prepared by mixing 1 M ortho-phosphoric acid and 0.1 M ascorbic acid. This extractant was known to preserve arsenic species. The appropriate extraction time was 10 min to 20 min and the recovery rate was about 80%. A coupled system, SPE-HG-ICP-AES, was used for the determination of inorganic arsenic species. The detection limit was around 2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/1 and the linearity of calibration curve was better than $R^2$=0.99.

Numerical analysis is done to investigate the effects of pulse bias on the plasma processing characteristics like ion doping and ion nitriding by using fluid dynamic code with a 2D axi-symmetric model. For 10 mTorr of Ar plasma, -1 kV of pulse bias was simulated. Maximum sheath thickness was around 20 mm based on the electric potential profile. The peak electron temperature was about 20 eV, but did not affect the averaged plasma characteristics of the whole chamber. Maximum ion current density incident on the substrate was 200 $A/m^2$ at the center, but was decreased down to 1/10th at radius 100 mm, giving poor radial uniformity.

Uniformly-doped silicon thin films were fabricated by ion beam sputter deposition. The thin films had four levels of copper dopant concentration ranging between 1 ${\times}$1019 and 1 ${\times}$ 1021 atoms/cm3 . Concentrations of Copper dopants were determined by the isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to provide certified reference data for the quantitative surface analysis by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The copper-doped thin films were dissolved in a mixture of 1 M HF and 3 M HNO3 spiked with appropriate amounts of 65 Cu. For an accurate isotope ratio determination, both the detector dead time and the mass discrimination were appropriately corrected and isobaric interference from SiAr molecular ions was avoided by a careful sample pretreatment. An analyte recovery efficiency was obtained for the Cu spiked samples to evaluate accuracy of the method. Uncertainty of the determined copper concentrations, estimated following the EURACHEM Guide, was less than 4%, and detection limit of this method was 5.58 ${\times}$ 1016 atoms/cm3.

단일 결정의 Ge 박막은 0.67 eV의 작은 밴드갭을 가지고 있기에 장파장의 빛을 흡수하기 위한 목적으로 태양전지 분야에서 집중적인 연구가 진행되어지고 있다. 또한, Si에 비하여 높은 전하 이동도를 가지고 있기에 박막 트랜지스터로의 응용 연구들이 진행되고 있는 중이다. 전자 소자로써 큰 효과를 가지고 오기 위해서는 양질의 Ge 결정박막을 성장하여야 한다. 이를 위하여 다양한 공정 방법으로 Ge 박막의 결정성 향상에 대한 연구들을 진행하고 있다. 그중 본 연구에서는 ICP-assisted DC sputtering 방법을 이용하여 저온(${\sim}230^{\circ}C$) Ge 박막 결정성장에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. Ge 박막을 유리기판(Eagle 2000) 위에 증착하였으며, $6{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr 이하의 기본 압력에서 공정을 진행하였다. 7 mTorr의 Ar 분위기에서 타겟에 인가되는 전압 및 전류를 변화 시키며 Ge 박막 증착에 미치는 영향에 대해서 연구를 진행하였다. 기본적인 DC sputtering 방법을 이용하여 박막을 증착하였을 경우 증착한 모든 샘플에서 결정성을 확인하였으며, 낮은 전압에서도 결정화가 일어나는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 전압을 증가시켜도 결정화 정도가 일정하게 유지됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 다만 이 경우에는 결정의 방향이 랜덤하게 형성되었으며, DC sputtering 방법을 이용하여 저온에서 공정을 진행하였기에 박막은 수십 nm의 columnar grain을 형성하였다. ICP를 이용한 DC sputtering 방법을 이용하여 박막을 증착 하였을 경우, 일정 전압 이하에서는 비정질의 Ge 박막이 균일하게 형성됨을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 이후 결정화 정도가 타겟에 인가되는 전압에 비례하여 증가하였다. 또한, 이때 증착된 Ge 박막은 단일 결정으로 형성되었음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이는 박막 성장시 ICP에 의해서 생성된 Ar 이온이 표면으로 가속화됨으로 인하여 Ge 박막 표면에서 channeling 효과가 나타남으로 인하여 <110> 방향으로 결정이 정열된 것으로 보인다.

The purpose of this study was to identify effective methods to minimize increases in intracranial pressure(IICP ) during endotracheal suction by means of comparing two methods of hyperventilation and oxygen supply before and after endotracheal suction. In order to evaluate the effects of these two methods, the ICP during suctioning and the sustained time of IICP were measured. For hyperventilation, ambu-bagging was done 10 times for 30 seconds with a tidal volume of 800-900m1. For oxygen supply, 100 percent oxygen was supplied for 2 minutes before and after suction. The subjects for this study were 12 neurosurgical patients who had had a subarachnoid bolt inserted for ICP monitoring and they were all on mechanical ventilatory support in a surgical intensive care unit of Seoul National University Hospital from July 1, 1991 to March 31, 1992. In each patient hyperventilation was performed five times and oxygen supply was given five times and intracranial pressures were measured immediately before and every 30 seconds for 15 minutes after suction. For case assignments counterbalancing and repeated measure designs were combined. And so the total number of experiments were sixty for each group. The effects of hyperventilation and oxygen supply on the IICP and the sustained time of IICP after suction were analyzed by t-test. The results of study were as follows 1. There was a significant difference between the two groups in the increased ICP during suction (t=2.49, p=.014). 2. The sustained time of IICP after suctioning in the oxygen supply group was shorter than that in the hyperventilation group(t=2.35, p=.020) In summary, the Increase in the ICP during suction was lower and the time for the ICP to return to the presuction level was shorter in the oxygen supply group as compared to the hyperventilation group. Therefore, oxygen supply can be re commended before and after endotracheal suction.
