The southeasternmost coastal area of the Korean peninsula has been regarded as a seismologically stable area as neither Quaternary faults nor earthquake activity has been reported. To clarify whether the active tectonic movement has occurred or not, a digital marine terrace mapping and fracture mapping have been done in the coastal area. Bed rocks are composed of the Cretaceous volcanic and sedimentary rocks and the Paleogene granite. Wave-cut platform in the area is smaller and narrower relative to that of the northern coastal area. Most of the platforms in the area have little Quaternary sediment. The platforms except the Holocene terrace (1 st terrace) can be divided into three steps. The lowest platform (2nd terrace) has an altitude of 8-11 m. The broad middle one (3rd terrace) is 17 to 22 m high. The highest terrace (4th terrace) is a narrow and sporadic bench with an altitude of about 44 m high. The lowest terrace is correlated to the 2nd terrace of the northern area, which corresponds to the oxygen isotopic stage 5a. The uplift rate calculated from a graphic method is 0.19 m/ky. This low uplift is typical of an intra-plate, suggesting that the area is tectonically stable. The elevation of the platforms tends slightly lower from the north to the south in the survey area. The decreasing altitude of the platforms towards the south is interpreted to result from a local block tilting during the Latest Pleistocene. This also indicates that the eastern coast of the Korean peninsula has been suffering a subsidence to the south.

This study addresses a photogrammetric approach to generate Mars topographic products from mapping data of Mars Global Surveyor (MGS). High-resolution stereo images and laser altimetry data collected from the MGS mission are combined and processed to produce Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and orthoimages. First, altimeter data is registered to high resolution images and considerable registration offset (around 325 m) is discovered on high resolution stereo images. Altimetry data, exterior orientation elements of the camera and conjugate points are used for bundle adjustment to solve this mis-registration and detennine the ground coordinates. The mis-registration of altimetry data are effectively eliminated after the bundle adjustment. Using the adjusted exterior orientation the ground coordinates of conjugate points are detennined. A sufficient number of corresponding points collected through image matching and their precise 3-D ground coordinates are used to generate DEM and orthoimages. A posteriori standard deviations of ground points after bundle adjustment indicate the accuracy of OEM generated in this study. This paper addresses the photogrammetric procedure: the registration of altimetry data to stereo pair images, the bundle adjustment and the evaluation, and the generation of OEM and orthoimages.

Most of the small and medium industries rather focus on immediate problems and how to properly maintain organizational matters and existing system than the strategic and operational use of Information Technology when they deal with applications and operation of Information System. This study found out that there were few studies on IT outsourcing for small and medium companies in Korea compared to large enterprises' IT outsourcing. Most preceding studies researched the problems of partnership and technical, managerial, and economical success factors for big companies. Small and medium companies have the problems of financial difficulty, organizational scale (40.3%), shortage of manpower for system operation (24.1%), and lack of practical use of managers (8.9%). SMB firms have required support of government for their Informationalization but, we found out amount of companies (41%) not be informed or don't account on government's supporting IT of SMB programs. In addition, Range and Contents of outsourcing, Reputation of Outsourcing vendor, Reliability of maintaining were selected as CSFs of SMB IT outsourcing. While large corporation staff more considered CEO's willing and inner facts of their companies.

As the Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is developed, an interventional procedure becomes the major of the spine surgery in the world. Despite of the use of the expensive medical equipments, the success chance of the nucleoplasty is about 30%. The reason is that the shape of the cannular needle is similar to that of the conventional injector and looks like the straight. Because the tip of these straight needles is not able to reach in the vicinity of the disc bulging or the protrusion, which are the cause of the low back pain and because the far indirect plasma discharge results in the decompression, the nucleoplasty has the limit. Many incurable diseases has not been solved due to the unexistence of the advanced technique for the MIS human body cannula device. If 3-D direction controllable cannular catheter (whose direction is accurately controlled after inserting into the bodies to cure the lesion) is developed, it is expected that new devised cannular catheter can cure many incurable diseases simultaneously. Therefore, the aims of this research are to develop the new devised cannular catheter of SMA direction controller for the medical situation, which has been produced through many previous trial-error procedures, and to produce the commercial medical device.

The purpose of this research is to develop a decision-making model for the calculation of the National Disaster Management System's standard prevention workforce quota. The final purpose of such model is to support in arranging a rationally sized prevention workforce for local authorities by providing information about its calculation in order to support an effective and efficient disaster management administration. In other words, it is to establish and develop a model that calculates the standard disaster prevention workforce quota for basic local governments in order to arrange realistically required prevention workforce. In calculating Korea's prevention workforce, it was found that the prevention investment expenses, number of prevention facilities, frequency of flood damage, number of disaster victims, prevention density, and national disaster recovery costs have positive influence on the dependent variable when the standard prevention workforce was set as the dependent variable. The model based on the regression analysis-which consists of dependent and independent variables-was classified into inland mountainous region, East coast region, Southwest coastal plain region to reflect regional characteristics for the calculation of the prevention workforce. We anticipate that the decision-making model for the standard prevention workforce quota will aid in arranging an objective and essential prevention workforce for Korea's basic local authorities.

The Metal-Insulator-Silicon (MIS) capacitors with $SiO_2$ and high-k dielectric were investigated. The high-k dielectrics were obtained by atomic layer deposit (ALD) system. The electrical characteristics were investigated by measuring the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. The conduction mechanisms were analyzed by using the Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plot and Direct Tunneling (DT) plot. As a result, the MIS capacitors with high-k dielectrics have lower leakage current densities than conventional tunnel-barrier with $SiO_2$ dielectrics.

비정질 산화물 반도체(Amorphous oxide semiconductors: AOSs)는 대면적화에도 불구하고 높은 이동도를 가지고, 상온에서도 제작할 수 있고, 투명 플렉시블 디스플레이 소자에 사용할 수 있기 때문에 최근 들어 각광받고 있는 연구 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 스퍼터링을 이용하여 활성층을 Amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide(a-IGZO)로 증착할 시에 스퍼터의 파워와 챔버내의 Ar/O2 비율을 다르게 했을 때 소자에 미치는 영향을 MIS구조를 이용하여 분석했다. 또한 같은 조건의 a-IGZO 활성층을 사용한 박막트랜지스터(TFT) 소자의 절연막의 종류를 바꿔가며 제작했을때의 소자의 특성 변화에 대해서도 분석하였다. 먼저 60 nm 두께의 a-IGZO층을 Heavily doped된 N형 실리콘 기판위에 스퍼터링 파워와 가스 분압비를 달리하여 증착하였다. 그 후 30 nm두께의 SiO2, Al2O3, SiNx 절연막을 증착하고, 마지막으로 열 증발 증착장비(Thermal Evaporator)를 이용하여 Al 전극을 150nm 증착하였다. 소자의 전기적 특성 분석은 HP4145와 Boonton 720을 사용하여 I-V와 C-V를 측정하였다. 위의 실험으로부터 스퍼터에서의 증착 rf파워가 증가할수록 a-IGZO 박막 트랜지스터에서의 캐리어 이동도가 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있었고, 챔버내의 가스분압비와 소자의 절연막의 종류가 변하면 a-IGZO 박막 트랜지스터의 전기적 특성이 변하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 캐리어 이동도의 감소와 전기적 특성의 변화의 이유는 a-IGZO 활성층의 bulk trap과 절연막, 활성층 사이의 interface trap에 의한 것으로 보여진다.

Carbon nitride ($CN_X$) films were prepared by reactive RF magnetron sputtering system at various deposition conditions and the C-V characteristics of MIS(metal - insulator - semiconductor) capacitors that have the structures of Al/$CN_x$/p-Si/Al and Al/$CN_x$/$Si_3N_4$/p-Si/Al were investigated. The resistivity of carbon nitride was above $2.40{\times}10^8{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at room temperature. The C-V plot showed a typical capacitance-voltage characteristics of semiconductor insulating layers, while it showed hysterisis due to interface charges. Amorphous carbon nitride (a-$CN_x$) films, that have relatively high resistivity and low dielectric constant could be useful as interlayer insulator materials of VLSI(very large-scale integration) and ULSI(ultra large-scale integration).

For the preparation of single-crystalline GaN film, heteroepitaxial growth on a sapphire substrate was carried out by halide vapor phase epitaxy(HVPE) method. The resulting GaN films showed n-type conductivity. The insulator type GaN film was made by doping with Zn(acceptor dopant), which showed emission peaks around 2.64 and 2.43 eV. The result of this study indicates that GaN can be obtained in an epitaxial structure of MIS(metal-insulator-semiconductor) junction. The observed data are regarded as fundamental in developing GaN epitaxial films for light emitting devices of hetero-structure type.
