Friction and adhesion tests were conducted to investigate tribological characteristics of materials for MEMS/NEMS using atomic force microscope (AFM). AFM Si tips were chemically modified with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) derived from trichlorosilane like octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) and (1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyl) trichlorosilane (FOTS), and various materials, such as Si, Al, Au, Cu, Ti and PMMA films, were prepared for the tests. SAMs were coated on Si wafer by dipping method prior to AFM tip to determine a proper dipping time. The proper dipping time was determined from the measurements of contact angle, surface energy and thickness of the SAMs. AFM tips were then coated with SAMs by using the same coating condition. Friction and adhesion forces between the AFM Si tip modified with SAM and MEMS/NEMS materials were measured. These forces were compared to those when AFM tip was uncoated. According to the results, after coating OTS and FOTS, the friction and adhesion forces on all materials used in the tests decreased; however, the effect of SAM on the reduction of friction and adhesion forces could be changed according to counterpart materials. OTS was the most effective to reduce the friction and adhesion forces when counterpart material was Cu film. In case of FOTS, friction and adhesion forces decreased the most effectively on Au films.

One of the difficulties of female-headed families face is economic hardship. Low-income single mothers work long hours, become isolated and feel burdened for dual roles. And many of them don't have relatives to share parenting roles. As a result, children of low-income female-headed families are easy to be neglected and left to form a delinquency-prone group in neighborhood. Traditionally, it has been viewed that children in female-headed families have problems due to the loss of father role. However, study indicates that these children can adjust well if the relationship between mothers and children is consistent and adequate. An Intervention program for low-income female-headed elementary children was developed and delivered in two community social welfare centers. The purpose of the program is to raise self-esteem. Two goals were 1) management of daily living habits and 2) improvement of family relations. Social workers maintained contact with mothers to talk about children's behaviors and to prompt hugging and touching. In addition, workers helped children to form good relationships with peers and school teachers. Children were satisfied with the program. Their family relations were improved statistically significantly after the program(wilcoxon signed rant test z=-2.934 p<.05). However, their self esteem were not improved significantly (wilcoxon signed test z=-1.173 p>.05). Qualitative analysis of each children were also discussed. The implications of the study are the followings: Intervention programs need to be delivered separately for low-grade and high grade elementary children because they have different developmental needs. The program also need to include education on sex and marriage as well as aggression reduction. Society needs to provide more support to single mothers for their personal and parenting needs.

This study investigates the effects of children's social relationships and psychological characteristics on their behavior problems. Behavior problems comprise violations of norms, bullying, and deviant behavior in the cyberspace. A data set of 2949 Korean children in their 4th grade is analyzed to yield three main results. First, variables such as contact with delinquent friends, aggressiveness, stress of appearance complex, gender, and depression have significant effects on violations of norms. Children who have more delinquent friends, higher level of aggressiveness, stress of appearance complex, or depression report more violations of norms. Second, delinquent friends, stress of peer relationship, aggressiveness, stress of appearance complex, gender, parents' violent attitudes toward children, and negative self-image are turned out to be important variables predicting bullying. Children with more delinquent friends, higher level of stress, higher level of aggressiveness, or lower self-image are more likely to experience bullying. Children who perceive their parents to be violent show more bullying experience. Third, each of aggressiveness, delinquent friends, stress of appearance complex, gender, relationship with teacher, and family income has significant effect on deviant behavior in cyberspace. Children with higher level of aggressiveness, more delinquent friends, stress of appearance complex, or negative impression of teacher are more likely to deviate in cyberspace. Children from higher income families report more deviant behavior in cyberspace. Boys show more experiences in every category of behavior problems than girls.

Atomic force microscope (AFM) has become a common tool for the structural and physical studies of biological macromolecules, mainly because it provides the ability to perform experiments with samples in a buffer solution. In this study, structure of proteins and nucleic acids has been studied in their physiological environment that allows native intermolecular complexes to be formed. Cr and Au were deposited on p-Si (100) substrate by thermal evaporation method in sequence with the thickness of $200{\AA}$ and $500{\AA}$, respectively, since Au is adequate for immobilizing biomolecules by forming a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) with semiconductor-based biosensors. The SAM, streptavidin and biotin interacted each other with their specific binding energy and their adsorption was analyzed using the Bio-AFM both in a solution and under air environment. A silicon nitride tip was used as a contact tip of Bio-AFM measurement in a solution and an antimony doped silicon tip as a tapping tip under air environment. Actual morphology could also be obtained by 3-dimensional AFM images. The length and agglomerate size of biomolecules was measured in stages. Furthermore, $R_{a}$ (average of surface roughness) and $R_{ms}$ (mean square of surface roughness) and surface density for the adsorbed surface were also calculated from the AFM image.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of functional ankle instability (FAI) and surgical treatment (ST) on postural stability and leg stiffness during vertical-drop landing. Method: A total of 21 men participated in this study (normal [NOR]: 7, FAI: 7, ST: 7). We estimated dimensionless leg stiffness as the ratio of the peak vertical ground reaction force and the change in stance-phase leg length. Leg length was calculated as the distance from the center of the pelvis to the center of pressure under the foot. Furthermore, the analyzed variables included the loading rate and the dynamic postural stability index (DPSI; medial-lateral [ML], anterior-posterior [AP], and vertical [V]) in the initial contact phase. Results: The dimensionless leg stiffness in the FAI group was higher than that of the NOR group and the ST group (p = .018). This result may be due to a smaller change in stance-phase leg length (p = .001). DPSI (ML, AP, and V) and loading rate did not show differences according to the types of ankle instability during drop landing (p > .05). Conclusion: This study suggested that the dimensionless leg stiffness was within the normal range in the ST group, whereas it was increased by the stiffness of the legs rather than the peak vertical force during vertical-drop landing in the FAI group. Identifying these potential differences may enable clinicians to assess ankle instability and design rehabilitation protocols specific for the impairment.

그래핀(Graphene)은 열 전도도가 높고 전자 이동도(200 000 cm2V-1s-1)가 우수한 전기적 특성을 가지고 있어 차세대 전자재료로써 유망한 후보로 간주되어 왔다. 최근에는 아크 방출(Arc discharge method), 화학적 기상 증착법(Chemical vapor deposition; CVD), 이온-조사법(Ion-irradiation) 등을 이용한 이종원자(Hetero atom)도핑과 화학적 처리를 이용한 기능화(Functionalization)등의 방법으로 그래핀의 전도도를 향상시킬 수 있었다. 그러나 이러한 방법들은 기판의 표면을 거칠게 하며, 그래핀에 많은 결함들이 발생한다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 자가 조립 단층막법(Self-Assembled Monolayers; SAMs)을 이용하여 기판을 기능화한 후 그 위에 그래핀을 전사하면, 자가 조립 단층막의 기능기에 따라 그래핀의 일함수를 조절 가능하고 운반자 농도나 도핑 유형을 변화시켜 소자의 전기적 특성을 최적화 할 수 있다 [1-3]. 본 연구에서는 PET(polyethylene terephthalate) 기판에 SAMs를 이용하여 유연하고 투명한 그래핀 전극을 제작하였다. 자외선 오존처리 (UV ozone treatment)를 이용하여 PET 기판 표면 위에 하이드록실 기(Hydroxyl group; -OH)를 기능화 화였고 이를 접촉각 측정(Contact angle measurement)을 통해 확인하였다. 또한 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane(APTES)와 톨루엔 (toluene)을 이용하여 PET 기판 표면 위의 하이드록실 기 위에 아민 기(Amine group; -NH2)를 기능화 하였고 이를 X-선 광전자 분광법(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy: XPS)으로 분석하였다. 이렇게 만들어진 PET기판 표면 위에 화학적 기상 증착법을 이용하여 합성한 대면적의 균일한 그래핀을 전사하였다. NH2그룹에 의해 그래핀에 도핑 효과가 나타난 것을 라만 분광법(Raman spectroscopy)과 전류-전압 특성곡선(I-V characteristic curve)을 이용하여 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 유연하고 투명한 기판 위에 안정적이면서 패턴이 가능하기 때문에 그래핀을 기반으로 하는 반도체 소자에 적용 가능할 것이라 예상된다.

We investigate the characteristics of self-assembled quantum dot infrared photodetectors(QDIPs) based on doping level. Two kinds of QDIP samples are prepared using molecular beam epitaxy : $n^+-i(QD)-n^+$ QDIP with undoped quantum dot(QD) active region and $n^+-n^-(QD)-n^+$ QDIP containing Si direct doped QDs. InAs QDIPs were grown on semi-insulating GaAs (100) wafers by molecular-beam epitaxy. Both top and bottom contact GaAs layer are Si doped at $2{\times}10^{18}/cm^3$. The QD layers are grown by two-monolayer of InAs deposition and capped by InGaAs layer. For the $n^+-n^-(QD)-n^+$ structure, Si dopant is directly doped in InAs QD at $2{\times}10^{17}/cm^3$. Undoped and doped QDIPs show a photoresponse peak at about $8.3{\mu}m$, ranging from $6{\sim}10{\mu}m$ at 10 K. The intensity of the doped QDIP photoresponse is higher than that of the undoped QDIP on same temperature. Undoped QDIP yields a photoresponse of up to 50 K, whereas doped QDIP has a response of up to 30 K only. This result suggests that the doping level of QDs should be appropriately determined by compromising between photoresponsivity and operating temperature.

2015년 5월 첫 중동호흡기증후군 사례가 발생하여 환자 186명, 사망자 38명이 발생하고 16,693명을 격리하였다. 정부에서는 MERS 감염의 확산을 차단하기 위하여 확진 또는 의심환자와 접촉한 사람에 대한 모니터링을 시행하였다. 관리 담당자는 자가격리자에 대해 최대 잠복기인 14일 동안 1일 2회 감시를 실시하여 격리 준수 여부 등을 확인하였다. 그러나 격리대상자가 폭발적으로 증가하면서 관리 인력의 한계로 거주지 이탈자 발생 등의 문제가 발생하였다. 또한 관리자들은 하루에 두세번 전화로만 상태를 체크하다 보니 자가 격리 생활 수칙은 유명무실해졌으며 격리자들이 무단으로 외출할 경우 이를 통제하기란 사실상 불가능하다고 인정했다. 이에 본 논문에서는 자가격리장치 및 본인 인증 방법을 제안하고 검증하였다. 검증결과 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 추후 자가격리장치 및 본인인증방법으로 사용되는데 전혀 문제가 없을 것으로 판단된다.

The performance of devices has been improved with fine processes from planar to three-dimensional transistors (e.g., FinFET, NWFET, and MBCFET). There are some problems such as a short channel effect or a self-heating effect occur due to the reduction of the gate-channel length by miniaturization. To solve these problems, we compare and analyze the electrical and thermal characteristics of FinFET and GAAFET devices that are currently used and expected to be further developed in the future. In addition, the optimal structure according to the Fin shape was investigated. GAAFET is a suitable device for use in a smaller scale process than the currently used, because it shows superior electrical and thermal resistance characteristics compared to FinFET. Since there are pros and cons in process difficulty and device characteristics depending on the channel formation structure of GAAFET, we expect a mass-production of fine processes over 5 nm through structural optimization is feasible.

본 연구에서는 소자의 크기에 따른 코발트-저마늄 박막 기반의 galvanic cell의 특성을 조사하고, 이를 물 접촉 감지에 활용하기 위한 아두이노 기반 사물인터넷 센서 네트워크에의 적용을 제시한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 코발트 저마늄 박막 기반 galvanic cell은 기존의 압전, 열전 에너지 하베스팅 소자와 다르게, 소자의 손상을 줄 수 있는 기계적인 변형이나 온도 구배를 필요로 하지 않는다는 점에서, 자가발전 센서 네트워크를 구축하는데 있어 더욱 적합한 에너지 하베스팅 소자로 적합하다. 본 연구는 스퍼터링 방식으로 증착된 코발트-저마늄 박막 기반의 galvanic cell을 센서로 활용함으로써 향후 자가발전 센서 네트워크의 실현 가능성에 대해 논의함으로써 향후 연구, 개발될 발전된 형태의 센서 네트워크 구축에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
