최근 결정질 실리콘 태양전지 분야에서는 태양전지의 Voc와 Isc의 증가를 통한 효율 향상을 목적으로 후면 passivation 박막에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. Local-Back Contact Cell은 최적화된 후면 passivation 박막을 이용한 태양전지 제조방법이다. 본 연구에서는 고효율의 LBC 태양전지 개발을 위해 Rapid Thermal Oxide(RTO)를 이용한 후면 passivation 박막에 screen printing을 이용한 point contact 구조의 LBC 태양전지를 제작하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 RTO 박막은 O2와 N2, 2L/min의 조건에서 $850^{\circ}C$에서 3분 동안 열처리하여 성장시켰다. 이렇게 성장된 박막은 3nm의 두께로 형성되어 passivation 효과를 나타내었으며, carrier lifetime 측정 결과 37.8us의 값을 나타냈다. 전면 ARC형성을 위해 RTO 박막 위에 PECVD를 이용하여 SiNx passivation 처리를 하였고, 그 결과 carrier lifetime은 49.1us까지 향상하였다. 후면의 전극 형성을 위해 screen printing 방법으로 Al point contact을 형성하여 local 한 BSF를 형성 시켰으며, 이후 후면 전극 연결을 위한 방법으로 300nm의 두께로 full Al evaporation 공정을 진행 하였다. 결과적으로 RTO 후면 passivation 박막에 Al point contact 형성을 통해 제작된 태양전지는, Suns-Voc 579mV, FF 82.3%, 16.7%의 효율을 달성하였다.

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane was made of aluminum sheet (99.6%, 0.2 mm thickness). The regular array of hexagonal nano pores or channels were prepared by two step anodization process. A detail description of the AAO fabrication is presented. After the 1st anodization in oxalic acid (0.3 M) at 45 V, The formed AAO was removed by etching in a solution of 6 wt% $H_3$$PO_4$＋1.8 wt% $H_2$$CrO_4$. The regular arrangement of the pores was obtained by the 2nd anodization, which was carried out in the same condition as the 1st anodization. Subsequently, the alumina barrier layer at the bottom of the channel layer was removed in phosphoric acid (1M) after removing of aluminum. Pore diameter, density, and thickness could be controlled by the anodization process parameters such as applied voltage, anodizing time, pore widening time, etc. The pore diameter is proportional to the applied voltage and pore widening time. The pore density and thickness can be controlled by anodization temperature and voltage.

Ambient drying sol-gel processing was used for monolithic silica ambigels in the temperature range of $130-250^{\circ}C$. A new method of mesopore ambigels, which mean the aerogels prepared by ambient pressure drying process synthesis, is suggested at first. This method includes two important approaches. The first point is that $SiO_{2}$ surface modification of wet gel was performed by trimethylchlorosilane in n-butanol solution. This procedure is provided the silica gel mesopore structure formation. The second point is a creation of the ternary azeotropic mixture water/n-butanol/octane as porous liquid, which is effectively provided removing of water such a low temperature by 2 step drying condition under ambient pressure. The silica aerogels, which were prepared by ambient pressure drying from azeotropic mixture of water/n-butanol/octane, are transparent, crack-free and mesoporous (pore size ${\sim}$ 5.6 nm) with surface area of ${\sim}$ $923{\;}m^2/g$, bulk density of $0.4{\;}g/cm^3$ and porosity of 85 %.

Electromigration characteristics of Sn-3.5Ag flip chip solder bump were analyzed using flip chip packages which consisted of Si chip substrate and electroplated Cu under bump metallurgy. Electromigration test temperatures and current densities peformed were $140{\sim}175^{\circ}C\;and\;6{\sim}9{\times}10^4A/cm^2$ respectively. Mean time to failure of solder bump decreased as the temperature and current density increased. The activation energy and current density exponent were found to be 1.63 eV and 4.6, respectively. The activation energy and current density exponent have very high value because of high Joule heating. Evolution of Cu-Sn intermetallic compound was also investigated with respect to current density conditions.

The phase transition of vortex matter from solid to liquid was studied in iron-based superconductors. Based on the traditional vortex glass theory, we have examined the magnetoresistivity data of iron-based superconductors using our extended thermal activation model: $\rho(B,T)=\rho((T-T_g(B))/(T_c(0)-T_g(B)))^{v(z-1)}$. We predict that the magnetic field-dependent area S + $S_0$ which integrates $\rho$ with T is proportional to $B^{\beta}$, where ${\beta}$ is the vortex glass transition exponent. From our calculation, the vortex glass transition exponent is 0.33, close to the exponent of area $S_0$ + S is 0.31 in $SmO_{0.9}F_{0.1}FeAs$; the exponent of area S is 0.63, which is close to the irreversibility line exponent 2/3. Both of the results show the validity of our model. In addition, our model is shown to be effective in describing irreversibility behavior in layered superconductors.

Laccase is one of the ligninolytic enzymes of white rot fungus Trametes versicolor 951022, a strain first isolated in Korea. This laccase was purified 209-fold from culture fluid with a yield of $6.2\%$ using ethanol precipitation, DEAE-Sepharose, Phenyl-Sepharose, and Sephadex G-100 chromatography. T. versicolor 951022 excretes a single monomeric laccase showing a high specific activity of 91,443 U/mg for 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) as a substrate. The enzyme has a molecular mass of approximately 97 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE, which is larger than those of other laccases reported. It exhibits high enzyme activity over broad pH and temperature ranges with optimum activity at pH 3.0 and a temperature of $50^{\circ}C$. The $K_m$ value of the enzyme for substrate ABTS is $12.8{\mu}M$ and its corresponding $V_{max}$ value is 8125.4 U/mg. The specific activity and substrate affinity of this laccase are higher than those of other white rot fungi, therefore, it may be potentially useful for industrial purposes.

Indium doped zinc oxide films (ZIO) were deposited on non-alkali glass substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The structural, electrical and optical properties of the ZIO films were investigated as a function of their $In_2O_3$ content (3.33-15.22 wt%). The ZIO films deposited with an $In_2O_3$ content of 9.54 wt% showed a relatively low resistivity of $9.13{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and a highly c-axis preferred orientation. The grain size and FWHM were mainly affected by the $In_2O_3$ content. The crystallinity and resistivity were enhanced with increasing grain size. The average transmittance of the ZIO films was over 85% in the visible region and their band gap varied from 3.22 to 3.66 eV depending on their doping ratio.

In this paper, a wideband power efficient 2.2 GHz - 4.9 GHz Medium Power Amplifier (MPA), has been designed and fabricated using $0.8{\mu}m$ SiGe BiCMOS process technology. Passive elements such as parallel-branch spiral inductor, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor and three types of resistors are all integrated in this process. This MPA is a two stage amplifier with all matching components and bias circuits integrated on-chip. A P1dB of 17.7 dBm has been measured with a power gain of 8.7 dB at 3.4 GHz with a total current consumption of 30 mA from a 3 V supply voltage at $25^{\circ}C$. The measured 3 dB bandwidth is 2.7 GHz and the maximum Power Added Efficiency (PAE) is 41 %, which are very good results for a fully integrated Medium PA. The fabricated circuit occupies a die area of $1.7mm{\times}0.8mm$.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify effectiveness of fundamental nursing practices in clinical settings. Method: This study adopted the triangulation method. Using one group pre-post test design, this study identified differences in self efficacy between pre and post clinical practice. The study was also designed to describe the nursing student's experience of clinical practice by using content analysis Results: 1) All students experienced bedmaking, BST check, V/C check, positioning, transferring, assisting with moving and positioning, and ROM. Sixty percent of students experienced giving oral care, and forty percent experienced shampooing patient's hair. 2) While the mean score of self efficacy was 3.88 in the pre-test, it decreased to 3.76 in the post-test. They were statistically different from each other. 3) Seven categories were elicited from the result of content analysis on the nursing student's experience, which were 'ignorant stranger', 'facing the gap between theory and practice', 'resolving the uncertainty of clinical setting', 'getting used to fundamental nursing practice', 'motivated by a desire to study and self-development', 'understanding the nursing profession's job', and 'being helpful for the future career'. Conclusion: Fundamental nursing practice in clinical settings is a useful strategy that improves fundamental nursing skills and motivates student's self-development.
