Nanometer-sized structures are being applied to many fields including micro/nano electronics, optoelectronics, quantum computing, biosensors, etc. Multi-scale analysis technology is required for designing the reliable nanometer-sized structures and predicting their mechanical, chemical and electronic behaviors. In this paper, some techniques for multi-scale analysis are reviewed and their applicability and limitation are discussed. Research activity of nano process analysis team in KIMM is outlined. Especially, we concentrate on OCTA of Nagoya University in Japan for the analysis of polymeric materials. Detailed structure of OCTA is described and some examples are presented.

This paper presents a multiband octa-phase LC VCO for SDR receiver. Four identical LC VCOs are connected by using series coupling transistor to obtain the octa-phase signal and low phase noise characteristic. For a multiband application, a band tuning circuit that consists of a switch capacitor circuit and two MOS varactors is proposed. As the MOS switch is on/off state, the frequency range will be varied. In addition, two varactors make the VCO be immune to process variation of the oscillation frequency. The VCO is designed in 0.18-um CMOS technology, consumes 12mA current from 1.8V supply voltage and operates with a frequency band from 885MHz to 1.342GHz (41% tuning range). As driving sub-harmonic mixer, the proposed VCO covers 3 standards(CDMA 2000 1x, WCDMA, WiBro). The measured phase noise is -105dBc@100kHz, -115dBc@1MHz, -130dBc@10MHz for CDMA 2000 1x, WCDMA, WiBro respectively.

Three new compounds were isolated from the methanol extracts of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) hull, and their structures were determined to be 6,7-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethyl-octa-2(Z),4(E)-dienoic acid (1), 6,7-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethyl-octa-2(E),4(E)-dienoic acid (2), and 4,7-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethyl-octa-2(E),5(E)-dienoic acid (3) by NMR and MS spectroscopic analyses. These compounds at $500{\mu}g$ concentration showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, demonstrated by the paper disc method.

Phthalocyanine have a good sensitivity to the toxic gases like NO$_2$. Also its properties of good chemical and thermal suability give a potential to superiors gas sensing system. Depositioni of Octa(2-ethyhexyloxy) Copper Phthalocyanine is confirmed by transfers ratio, UB/visible spectra and current-voltage (I-V) characteristics.

It is well known that the metallo-phthalocyanines (MPcs) are sensitive to toxic gaseous molecules such as NO$_2$ as well as are chemically and thermally stable. Therefore, lots of MPcs have been studied as the potential chemical sensor for NO$_2$gas using quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) or electrical conductivity. In this study, thin films of octa(2-ethylhexyloxy)copper-phthalocyanine were prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett method and characterized by using UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy and ellipsometry. Optimal transfer condition of LB films was investigated and preliminary results of current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of these films exposed to NO$_2$gas as a function of film thickness, temperature and concentration were discussed.

In this paper, $NO_2$ gas detection characteristics of Octa-dodecyloxy copper-phthalocyanine films prepared by LB method was investigated measuring the electrical conductance of these films. The electivity characteristics of these LB films exposed to $NO_2, NO, and SO_2$ gas was also investigated. Conductivity activation energy of these films as a function of temperature was obtained.

Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique is one of the ways of fabricating organic ultra-thin films. It is well known that It has the advantage to control the alignment and orientation of the molecules in the films. Metallo-phthalocyanines(MPcs) are sensitive to electron affinitive toxic gaseous molecules, such as NO$_2$, NO, SO$_2$. MPcs are thermal, optical, mechanical, chemical stable. Therefore, it is interesting to prepare phthalocyanine LB films containing copper as a chemical sensor for NO$_2$ and SO$_2$ gas and test their sensitivity to these toxic gases. In this study, thin films of Octa-dodecylosy copper-phthalocyanine were prepared by LB technique. $\pi$-A isotherm, transfer ratio, UV-VIS. spectroscopy of these films were investigated. Also current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of these was auto investigated.

It is well known that the metallo-phthalocyanines(MPcs) are sensitive to toxic gaseous molecules, such as NO$_2$, NO, SO$_2$. MPcs are thermally, optica1ly, mechanically and chemically stable.

Frist, in this study, ultra thin films of Octa-dodecyloxy tin-phthalocyanine were prepared on various substrates by LB technique. Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique is one of the ways of fabricating organic thin films. It has the advantage to control the alignment and orientation of the molecules in the films. $\pi$-A isotherm and transfer ratio of tin-phthalocyanine derivative.
