ZnSe, as a II-VI compound semiconductor which has a wide band gap in the visible region is applicable to the various fields such as laser diode, display and solar cell. By using the electrochemical deposition method, ZnSe thin film was synthesized on the ITO glass substrate. The synthesis of ZnSe grains and their structure having zinc blende shape were verified through the analysis of XRD and SEM. UV spectrophotometric method determined the band gap as the value of 2.76 eV. Applying the DFT (Density Functional Theory) in the molecular dynamics, the band structure of ZnSe grains was analyzed. For ZnSe grains with zinc blende structure, the band structure and its density of state were simulated using LDA (Local Density Approximation), PBE (Perdew Burke Ernzerhof), and B3LYP (Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr) functionals. Among the calculations of energy band gap upon each functional, the simulated one of 2.65 eV based on the B3LYP functional was mostly near by the experimental measurement.

Silicene is a two-dimensional (2D) derivative of silicon (Si) arranged in honeycomb lattice. It is predicted to be compatible with the present fabrication technology. However, its gapless properties (neglecting the spin-orbiting effect) hinders its application as digital switching devices. Thus, a suitable band gap engineering technique is required. In the present work, the band structure and density of states of uniformly doped silicene are obtained using the nearest neighbour tight-binding (NNTB) model. The results show that uniform substitutional doping using aluminium (Al) has successfully induced band gap in silicene. The band structures of the presented model are in good agreement with published results in terms of the valence band and conduction band. The band gap values extracted from the presented models are 0.39 eV and 0.78 eV for uniformly doped silicene with Al at the doping concentration of 12.5% and 25% respectively. The results show that the engineered band gap values are within the range for electronic switching applications. The conclusions of this study envisage that the uniformly doped silicene with Al can be further explored and applied in the future nanoelectronic devices.

Direct characterization of band alignment at chemical bath deposition $(CBD)-CdS/Cu_{0.93}(In_{1-x}Ga_x)Se_2$ has been carried out by photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES). Ar ion beam etching at the condition of the low ion kinetic energy of 400 eV yields a removal of surface contamination as well as successful development of intrinsic feature of each layer and the interfaces. Especially interior regions of the wide gap CIGS layers with a band gap of $1.4\~1.6\;eV$ were successfully exposed. IPES spectra revealed that conduction band offset (CBO) at the interface region over the wide gap CIGS of x = 0.60 and 0.75 was negative, where the conduction band minimum of CdS was lower than that of CIGS. It was also observed that an energy spacing between conduction band minimum (CBM) of CdS layer and valance band maximum (VBM) of $Cu_{0.93}(In_{0.25}Ga_{0.75})Se_2$ layer at interface region was no wider than that of the interface over the $Cu_{0.93}(In_{0.60}Ga_{0.40})Se_2$ layer.

Trimorphomyces papilionaceus dikaryon 으로부터 자영적인 돌연변이에 의해 분리한 이배체를 대상으로 생장속도, U. V. 광 조사 후의 생존율, U. V. 분광광도계와 Hoechst 33258 핵염색에 의한 DNA 함량등을 monokaryon 및 dikaryon 과 비교하여 결정하였다. 이배체는 dikaryon 핵의 DNA 양과 비슷하였고 monokaryon 핵의 DNA 양의 2배 정도가 되었다. Glyoxalase II 의 band 양상에서 monokayon은 한 개의 isozyme band 만을 보인 반면, 이배체와 dikaryon은 같은 위치에서 두개의 isozyme band 가 관찰되었다. 이원전개한 전기영동실험에서 dikaryon 특이 단백질은 분자량이 66.000 보다 컸으며 분자량 24,000-29,000 사이에서 이배체 특이 단백질이 존재한다.

본 연구에서는 다이오드 소자의 온도 증가에 따른 C-V 특성을 분석하였다. 180 kHz 주파수 조건에서 온도는 300 K에서 450 K까지 50 K 간격으로 가변하였다. 측정 결과 reverse bias 영역에서는 커패시턴스의 온도 의존성이 없었으나, forward bias 영역에서는 온도가 증가함에 따라 동일 전압에서의 커패시턴스가 증가하였다. 이로부터 온도가 증가 할수록 소자가 반전(inversion) 상태에서 축적(accumulation) 상태로 빨리 전환함을 확인하였으며, 1/C2-V 그래프로부터 온도 증가에 따른 전위장벽(Built-in potential, Vbi) 감소를 확인하였다. 전위장벽은 0.63 V에서 0.31 V로 온도 상승에 따라 약 0.1 V씩 감소하였다. 이는 energy band diagram에서 p-type 영역과 n-type 영역의 energy band 차가 감소해 공핍층 영역의 폭이 좁아짐을 의미한다. 공핍층의 두께 감소로 다이오드 전류의 급격한 증가뿐 아니라 위에서 언급한 바와 같은 C-V 특성을 보였다. 이번 연구에서는 기존의 보편화 된 I-V 측정을 통한 다이오드 소자 분석과는 달리 온도 변화에 따른 C-V 분석을 통해 소자 내부의 전위 장벽 및 공핍층 폭 감소에 따른 소자 특성 변화를 분석하였다.

We designed and fabricated a low local oscillation (LO) power V-band CPW mixer module using a CPW-to-waveguide transition technology for the application of millimeter-wave wireless communication systems. The mixer was designed using a unique gate mixing architecture to achieve simultaneously a low LO input power, a high conversion gain, and good LO-RF isolation characteristics. The fabricated mixer exhibited a high conversion gain of 2 dB at a low LO power of 0 dBm. For data transmission of the 60 ㎓ wireless LNA systems, we fabricated a CPW-to-waveguide converter module of WR-15 type and mounted the fabricated mixer in the converter module. The fabricated V-band mixer exhibited a higher conversion gain and a lower LO input power than other reported V-band mixers.

The single crystals of p-$CdIn_2Te_4$ were grown by the Bridgman method without the seed crystal. From photocurrent measurements, it was found that three peaks, A, B, and C, correspond to the intrinsic transition from the valence band states of $\Gamma_7(A)$, $\Gamma_6(B)$, and $\Gamma_7(C)$ to the conduction band state of $\Gamma_6$, respectively. The crystal field splitting and the spin orbit splitting were found to be 0.2360 and 0.1119 eV, respectively, from the photocurrent spectroscopy. The temperature dependence of the $CdIn_2Te_4$ band gap energy was given by the equation of $E_g(T)=E_g(0)$ - $(9.43\times10^{-3})T^2$/(2676+T). $E_g(0)$ was estimated to be 1.4750, 1.7110, and 1.8229 eV at the valence band states of A, B, and C, respectively. The band gap energy of $p-CdIn_2Te_4$ at room temperature was determined to be 1.2023 eV.

This paper presents a V-band two-stage power amplifier integrated circuit using TSMC 65 nm CMOS process. The simple input, output, and inter-stage matching networks based on passive components are integrated. By compensating for power gain characteristics using a pre-distortion technique, the linearity of the power amplifier was improved. The implemented two-stage power amplifier showed a power gain of 10.4 dB, a saturated output power of 9.7 dBm, and an efficiency of 20.8 % with a supply voltage of 1 V at the frequency band of 58.8 GHz.

In this paper, we introduce the design and fabrication of V-band power amplifier MMIC with excellent gain-flatness for IEEE 802.15.3c WPAN system. The V-band power amplifier was designed using ETRI' $0.12{\mu}m$ PHEMT process. The PHEMT shows a peak transconductance ($G_{m,peak}$) of 500 mS/mm, a threshold voltage of -1.2 V, and a drain saturation current of 49 mA for 2 fingers and $100{\mu}m$ total gate width (2f100) at $V_{ds}$=2 V. The RF characteristics of the PHEMT show a cutoff frequency, $f_T$, of 97 GHz, and a maximum oscillation frequency, $f_{max}$, of 166 GHz. The gains of the each stages of the amplifier were modified to have broadband characteristics of input/output matching for first and fourth stages and get more gains of edge regions of operating frequency range for second and third stages in order to make the gain-flatness of the amplifier excellently for wide band. The performances of the fabricated 60 GHz power amplifier MMIC are operating frequency of $56.25{\sim}62.25\;GHz$, bandwidth of 6 GHz, small signal gain ($S_{21}$) of $16.5{\sim}17.2\;dB$, gain flatness of 0.7 dB, an input reflection coefficient ($S_{11}$) of $-16{\sim}-9\;dB$, output reflection coefficient ($S_{22}$) of $-16{\sim}-4\;dB$ and output power ($P_{out}$) of 13 dBm. The chip size of the amplifier MMIC was $3.7{\times}1.4mm^2$.

The atomic and electronic properties of molybdenum disurfide ($MoS_2$) nanostructures are investigated through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We find that the band gap is indirect (about 1.79 eV) and direct (about 1.84 eV) in GGA for 2-dimensional $MoS_2$ in our calculations. On the other hand, 1-dimensional armchair nanoribbons have semiconductor properties (band gap is about 0.11~0.28 eV), while 1-dimensional zigzag nanoribbons are metallic.
