To apply TMAH-based Py-MS to a field biological detection system for real-time classification of cell-type, reproducible patterns of the TMAH-based Py-MS spectra was known as a critical factor for classification but was seriously disturbed by quantity of cells injected into pyro-tube. This factor is an exterior variable that could not be complemented by improving the performance of the TMAH-based Py-MS instrument. One of idea to solve the knotty problem has been flashed from "Top-down proteomics for identification of intact microoganisms". That is, biomarker peaks are selected from complicate Py-MS spectra for intact microoganisms by tracing out their origins, based on Py-MS spectra for the featured components of different cell-types, in Top-down approach. This idea has been tested in classification of different Gram-type microoganisms. Through the analyses of spectra for the featured components - peptidoglycan and lipoteichoic acid for Gram-positive cells and lipopolysaccharide and lipid A for Gram-negative cells - with comparing to the spectra the corresponding Gram-type cells in the Top-down approach, biomarker peaks were selected to carry out PCA(Principal Component Analysis) in order to see classification of different Gram-types, resulting in significant improvement of their classification. Furthermore, weighting biomarker peaks on intact cell's spectra, based on the data for the featured components of the Gram-types, contributed to elevate classification performance.

The density controlled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are grown on the iron acetate nanoparticles by using the freeze-dry method. The iron-acetate [Fe(II)$(CH_3COO)_2$] solution is used to prepare the catalytic iron nanoparticles. The density of CNTs is controlled in order to enhance the field emission process. Furthermore, the patterning of the iron nanoparticle catalyst-layer for the fabrication of electronic devices is simply achieved by using alkaline solution, TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide). We applied this patterning process of catalyst layer to form the electron emitter with under-gate type triode structure.

Pyrolysis-mass spectrometry, incorporating an in situ thermal hydrolysis and methylation(THM) step, has been used to study biological materials for bacteria, toxin and virus. Newly developed pyrolyzer was used to decompose biological materials, and tetramethylammonium hydroxide(TMAH) was used as a methylation reagent. Chemical ionization(CI) using ethanol and ion trap mass spectrometer(ITMS) were used to ionize and analyze of pyrolysis components, respectively. Analytical characteristics of bacteria (including spore), virus and toxin were analyzed. Also acquisition and interpretation of mass spectra as biomarkers for classification/identification of biological material s were explained.

Pyrolysis-mass spectrometry has been used to characterize the 17 biological materials including bacteria and proteins. In this study, an in situ thermal-hydrolysis methylation(THM) procedure using tetramethylammonium hydroxide(TMAH) was employed. The biological materials are ionized using chemical ionization(CI) method with ethanol by ion trap mass spectrometer(ITMS), which attached with our own made pyrolyzer module, and then their pyrolysis mass spectra were obtained. The major distinct characteristic peaks were selected from all the range of mass spectra, and analyzed using principal component analysis(PCA) method to assess the classification/identification possibility of biological materials.

단결정 실리콘 태양전지 공정에서 이방성 습식 식각 용액을 이용하여 기판 표면에 피라미드 구조를 형성하는 것을 텍스쳐링이라고 한다. 실리콘 기판의 표면을 식각하여 요철구조를 만들어줌으로써 셀 내부로 입사되는 광량을 증가시켜 태양전지의 단락 전류 및 효율 향상 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 일반적인 태양전지 공정에서는 요철구조를 형성할 시 따로 마스크를 사용하지 않으며, 태양전지 급 웨이퍼를 절삭손상층 식각 한 후, 강염기성 용액과 알코올의 혼합용액에 담가서 이방성 식각을 실시하여 요철 구조를 형성한다. 본 연구는 기존의 텍스쳐링 공정에서 사용되는 대표적인 용액인 수산화칼륨(potassium hydroxide, KOH)과 알코올의 혼합용액과 사메틸수산화암모늄(Tetramethylammonium Hydroxide, TMAH)과 알코올의 혼합용액에 Triton X-100 계면활성제를 각각 첨가하여 실험을 진행하였다. 식각된 태양전지용 실리콘 기판의 표면은 주사전자현미경(Scanning Electron Microscope)을 통하여 관찰하였고, 분광광도계(UV/VIS/NIR Spectrophotometer)로 반사도 값을 측정하여 기판의 특성을 평가하였다.

We report the synthesis of $SrTiO_3$, $BaTiO_3$ and $Ba_xSr_{1-x}TiO_3$ (BST) nanoparticles (NPs) in various compositions (x = 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75) by an inorganic sol-gel method under a basic condition. Highly crystalline nanoparticles were formed at the reaction temperature of 25 - $100^{\circ}C$ from a stabilized titanium alkoxide in tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) and barium or strontium acetate in aqueous solution. Morphology and particle structure of the synthesized BST NPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The BST nanoparticles in various compositions were monodispersed without mutual aggregation, and their average sizes were in the range of 70 - 80 nm. Furthermore, they showed highly crystallized perovskite phase over the whole composition range from $SrTiO_3$ to $BaTiO_3$. We also proposed a mechanism for the low-temperature formation of BST NPs.

We investigated the potassium remaining on a crystalline silicon solar cell after potassium hydroxide (KOH) etching and its effect on the lifetime of the solar cell. KOH etching is generally used to remove the saw damage caused by cutting a Si ingot; it can also be used to etch the rear side of a textured crystalline silicon solar cell before atomic layer-deposited Al2O3 growth. However, the potassium remaining after KOH etching is known to be detrimental to the efficiency of Si solar cells. In this study, we etched a crystalline silicon solar cell in three ways in order to determine the effect of the potassium remnant on the efficiency of Si solar cells. After KOH etching, KOH and tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) were used to etch the rear side of a crystalline silicon solar cell. To passivate the rear side, an Al2O3 layer was deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD). After ALD Al2O3 growth on the KOH-etched Si surface, we measured the lifetime of the solar cell by quasi steady-state photoconductance (QSSPC, Sinton WCT-120) to analyze how effectively the Al2O3 layer passivated the interface of the Al2O3 layer and the Si surface. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) was also used to measure how much potassium remained on the surface of the Si wafer and at the interface of the Al2O3 layer and the Si surface after KOH etching and wet cleaning.

Background: Social interest is increasing due to frequent accidents caused by chemicals in the electronics industry. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to present a management plan by evaluating the exposure characteristics of dichloromethane (DCM), trichloromethane (TCM), and tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAH), which are high-risk substances to which people may be exposed in the electronics industry in South Korea. Methods: To investigate the handling companies and status of the hazardous chemicals DCM, TCM, and TMAH, the handling status of the three substances was classified based on electronics industry-related codes from the 2019 Work Environment Survey (Chemical Handling and Manufacturing) data with work environment measurement results for five years. Results: DCM, TCM, and TMAH are commonly used as cleaning agents in the electronics industry. For DCM, it was found that all work environment measurement results from 2018 to 2021 but not 2022 exceeded the exposure standard. Conclusions: Identifying the distribution channels of hazardous chemicals is an intervention point that can reduce exposure to hazardous chemicals. It requires management through tracking systems such as unique verification numbers at the import and manufacturing stages, and proper cultivation of and related support for handling chemicals by business managers.
