MFS-FET(Metal-Ferroelectric-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) 구조의 비휘발성 기억소자용 $ReMnO_3$(Re:Y, Ho, Er) 박막을 금속 유기 화학 기상 증착법(MOCVD)으로 증착하였다. $ReMnO_3$ 박막을 Si(100) 기판 위에 700${\circ}C$-2시간 증착 시켜 결정화를 위해 대기 중에서 900${\circ}C$-1시간 열처리 시 육방정계(hexagonal) 단일상의 $ReMnO_3$ 박막을 형성하였다. 육방정계 단일상 구조에서 $ReMnO_3$ 박막의 강유전 특성은 c-축 배향성에 의존하였으며, c-축 배향성이 우수한 $YMnO_3$ 박막의 잔류 분극(Pr) 값은 105 nC/$cm^2$로 가장 우수하였다. 또한 누설 전류 밀도(leakage current density) 값은 미세구조의 결정립 크기에 의존하였으며, 결정립 크기가 100∼150 nm인 $YMnO_3$ 박막의 누설 전류 밀도 값은 인가전압 0.5 V에서 $10^{-8}$ A/$cm^2$을 나타내었다.

Human occupational exposure to n-hexane has been associated with neurobehavioral symptoms such as depression, irritablity, acute irritation symptom, concentration disturbance and fatigue. Effects of monoamine oxidase (MAO) B and serotonin transporter receptor (5-HTTR) polymorphisms on the neurobehavioral symptoms were investigated in 70 male workers from TV and computer monitor manufacturing plants exposed to n-hexane. Neurobehavioral symptoms were assessed through a self-reported questionnaire and ambient level of n-hexane was measured by NIOSH method. Blood and urine were collected from each workers to determine the MAO(B), 5-HTTR and urinary 2,5-hexanedione(2,5-HD). The mean concentration of volatile n-hexane was $18.8{\pm}28.8ppm$ and that of urinary 2,5-HD was $1.07{\pm}1.47mg/g$ creatinine. Statistically significant associations with sexual disturbance were age and smoking. The frequencies of MAO(B) AA, AG and GG were 18.6%, 45.7% and 35.7%, respectively, and the frequencies of 5-HTTR ll, ls and ss genotype were 82.9%, 15.7% and 1.4%, respectively. MAO (B) gene polymorphisms had susceptibility to the neurobehavioral symptoms such as fatigue, concentration disturbance, irritability and acute irritation symptom and 5-HTTR gene polymorphism had susceptibility to the sleep disturbance and acute irritation symptom. On multiple logistic regression analysis for the neurobehavioral symptoms, memory disturbance was significantly associated with smoking(OR=6.752, 95% CI=37.46) and drinking(OR=4.033, 95% CI=1.252-12.98), emotional lability was MAO(B) genotype(OR=0.412, 95% CI=0.170-0.996), fatigue (OR=1.011, 95% CI=1.000-1.021) and acute irritation(OR=0.990, 95% CI=0.981-1.000) were working duration and sexual disturbance were significantly associated with age(OR=1.208, 95% CI=1.042-1.399), ambient n-hexane(OR=1.077, 95% CI=1.005-1.154) and 2,5-HD(OR=0.186, 95% CI=0.041-0.841). This finding implies that the MAO (B) and 5-HTTR polymorphisms may affect susceptibility for specific neurobehavioral symptoms associated with n-hexane exposure in workers.
