Despite recent advances in electrical switch architectures, the practical switch performance is limited by both the technological and physical constraints of electrical device and wiring. Though an optical switch can have good features, optical devices are of poor quality. Therefore, we propose and study the switching architecture based on free-space optical interconnections and electrical logic devices. And an exchanging method using packets with a parallel form is introduced to solves the blocking problem of the switch that resulted from switching packets with a serial form. The free-space optical interconnections overcome the defects of electrical switch, such as, the complex connections of the wires. The proposed and demonstrated switch is nonblocking, simple and high performable. Other attractive features of the proposed switch include the guarantee of first-in first-out packet sequence. In this thesis, we also discuss the performance of proposed switch and show the experimental results of the 4$\times$4 switch.

As the semiconductor industry enters the next century, we are facing to the technological changes and challenges. Optical lithography has driven by the miniaturisation of semiconductor devices and has been accompanied by an increase in wafer productivity and performance through the reduction of the IC image geometries. In the last decade, DRAM(Dynamic Random Access Memories) have been quadrupoling in level of integration every two years. Korean chip makers have been produced the memory devices, mainly DRAM, which are the driving force of IC＇s(Integrated Circuits) development and are the technology indicator for advanced manufacturing. Therefore, Korean chip makers have an important position to predict and lead the patterning technology. In this paper, we will be discussed the limitations of the optical lithography, such as KrF and ArF. And, post optical lithography technology, such as E-beam lithography, EUV and E-beam Projection Lithography shall be introduced.

As the super-aged society approaches rapidly, the number of people suffering from post-stroke and other neurological disorders is significantly increasing, where prompt and intensive rehabilitation is essential for such people to resume their physical activities in normal daily lives. To overcome the inherent limitations of manual physical therapy, various types of exoskeleton robots are being employed. However, the need of the hour is softer, thinner, lighter, and even stretchable systems for precisely monitoring the motion of each joint without restricting the patients' movements in rehabilitation tasks. In this paper, we discuss the technological trends and current status of emerging stretchable rehabilitation systems, in which sensors, interconnects, and signal-processing circuits are monolithically integrated within a single stretchable substrate attachable to the skin. Such skin-like stretchable rehabilitation devices are expected to provide much more convenient, user-friendly, and motivating rehabilitation to patients with neurological impairments.

It has been a long time since organic solar cells were expected as a low-cost energy-conversion device. Although practical use of them has not been achieved, technological progress continues. Morphology of the materials, organic/inorganic interface, metal cathodes, molecular packing and structural properties of the donor and acceptor layers are essential for photovoltaic response. We have fabricated solar cell devices based on zinc-phthalocyanine(ZnPc) as donor(D) and fullerene$(C_60)$ as electron acceptor(A) with doped charge transport layers, and BCP and $Alq_3$ as an exciton blocking layer(EBL). We have measured the photovoltaic characteristics of the solar cell devices using the Xe lamp as a light source. We were use of $Alq_3$ layer leads to external power conversion efficiency was $2.65\%$ at illumination intensity $100\;mW/cm^2$. Also we confirmed the optimum thickness ratio of the DA hetero-junction is about 1:2.

Water-vapor permeation through metallic barriers deposited on polymer substrates has been an important technological issue because the performance of the barrier is critical to the reliability of flexible organic devices. For the development of long-lifetime flexible organic devices, two different sets of samples were designed and demonstrated from the viewpoint of the water-vapor transmission rate (WVTR). Aluminum (Al) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were chosen for the barrier layer and the polymer substrate, respectively. Two stacking structures, a single-layer (Al/PET) structure and a double-layer (Al/PET/Al) structure, were used for the WVTR measurement. For the single-layer structure, the WVTR decreases as the thickness of the barrier layer increases. Compared to the single-layer sample, the double-layer sample showed superior WVTR performance (by nearly three times) when the total thickness of the Al barrier was greater than 100 nm.
