We have investigated the channel protection layer (PL) effect on the performance of an oxide thin film transistor (TFT) with a staggered top gate ZnO TFT and Al-doped zinc tin oxide (AZTO) TFT. Deposition of an ultra-thin PL on oxide semiconductor films enables TFTs to behave well by protecting the channel from a photo-resist (PR) stripper which removes the depleted surface of the active layer and increases the carrier amount in the channel. In addition, adopting a PL prevents channel contamination from the organic PR and results in high mobility and small subthreshold swings. The PL process plays a critical role in the performance of oxide TFTs. When a plasma process is introduced on the surface of an active layer during the PL process, and as the plasma power is increased, the TFT characteristics degrade, resulting in lower mobility and higher threshold voltage. Therefore, it is very important to form an interface using a minimized plasma process.

Organic Vapor Phase Deposition (OVPD) equipment enables the accurate and simultaneous control of deposition rates of multiple materials as well as their homogenous mixing in the gas phase. Graded or even cross-faded layers by varying carrier gas flow are options to improve OLED performances. As example, we will show how the efficacies of standard red phosphorescent OLEDs with sharp interfaces can be increased from 18.8 cd/A and 14.1 lm/W (1,000 cd/$m^2$) to 36.5 cd/A (+94 %, 18 % EQE) and 33.7 lm/W (+139 %) by the introduction of cross-fading, which is a controlled composition variation in the organic film.

We have determined the electronic energy level alignment at the interface between 4,4'-bis-N-phenyl-1-naphthylamino biphenyl (NPB) and 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN) using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of 20 nm thick HAT-CN film was located at 3.8 eV below the Fermi level. Thus the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is very close to the Fermi level. The HOMO position of NPB was only about 0.3 eV below Fermi level at NPB/HAT-CN interface. This enables an easy excitation of electrons from the NPB HOMO to the HAT-CN LUMO, creating electron-hole pairs across this organic-organic interface. We also study the interaction of HAT-CN with a few metallic surfaces including Ca, Cu, and ITO using UPS and ab-inito electronic structure calculation techniques.

We studied emitting properties of organic electroluminescent devices fabricated using the spin-coating and Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique. The LB technique has the advantage of precise control of the thickness better than spin-coating method. LB monolayer of poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) was deposited 27 layers onto the indium-tin-oxide(ITO) substrate as Y-type films by the vertical dipping method. In the absorption spectra, the λ$\_$max/ of P3HT-AA LB films and of spin-coating films showed about at 510, 545 and 590 nm corresponding to 2.43, 2.28, 2.10eV. And we observed that the turn-on voltage of devices deposited by LB method(10V) was higher than that of spin-coating method(8.5V) in voltage-current-luminance characteristic. In the logV-logJ characteristics of ITO/P3HT-AA LB/Al device, we confirmed that El device fabricated by LB method follows three conduction mechanisms: ohmic, space-charge-limited current(SCLC) conduction and trapped-carrier-limited space-charge current(TCLC) conduction.

The transparent electrode properties of ITO films deposited by RF magnetron sputtering with process pressure were investigated. The ITO thin films was deposited on a glass substrate using a target with 3in diameter sintered at a ratio of $In_2O_3$ : $SnO_2$ (9 : 1). 200-nm-thick ITO thin films were manufactured by various process pressures ($2.0{\times}10^{-2}$, $7.0{\times}10^{-3}$ and $2.0{\times}10^{-3}$ Torr). The optical transmittance and resistivity of the deposited ITO thin films showed a relatively satisfactory result under $10^{-2}$ Torr. For high process pressure, the optical transmittance was below 80%, while for low process pressure, the optical transmittance was above 85%. As a result of of mobility, resistivity and carrier concentration by Hall measurement, we obtained satisfactory properties to apply into a transparent conducting thin film.

Density-gradient 방법을 이용하여 게이트의 양자효과가 double-gate MOSFET의 단채널 효과에 미치는 영향을 2차원으로 분석하였다. 게이트와 sidewall 산화막 경계면에서 발생하는 2차원 양자공핍 현상에 의하여 게이트 코너에 큰 전하 다이폴이 형성되며 subthreshold 영역에서 다이폴의 크기가 증가하고 classical 결과에 비하여 전자 농도와 전압 분포가 매우 다름을 알 수 있었다. Evanescent-nude분석을 통하여 게이트의 양자효과가 소자의 단채널 효과를 증가시키며 이는 기판에서의 양자효과에 의한 영향보다 크다는 것을 확인하였다. 양자효과에 의하여 게이트 코너에 형성되는 전하 다이폴이 단채널 효과를 증가시키는 원인임을 밝혔다.

In this paper, we study electrical properties of FeSi$_2$/Si layer And then we measured Hall coefficient Hall mobility, carrier density and Hall voltage according to variation magnetic field and temperature, Because of important Part for it application Various phase of silicide is formed at the metal-Si interface when transition metal contacts to Si. Silicides belong to metallic or semiconducting according to their electrical and optical properties. Metallic silicides are used as gate electrodes or interconnections in VLSI devices. Semiconducting silicides can be used as a new material for IR detectors because of their narrow energy band gap.

Single crystal cubic silicon carbide(3C-SiC) thin film were deposited on Si(100) substrate up to a thickness of 4.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ by APCVD(atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) method using hexamethyildisilane(HMDS) at 1350$^{\circ}C$. The HMDS flow rate was 0.5 sccm and the carrier gas flow rate was 2.5 slm. The HMDS flow rate was important to get a mirror-like. The growth rate of the 3C-SiC films was 4.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$/hr. The 3C-SiC epitaxical layers on Si(100) were characterized by XRD(X-ray diffraction), raman scattering and RHEED(reflection high-energy electron diffraction), respectively The 3C-SiC distinct phonons of TO(transverse optical) near 796 cm$\^$-1/ and LO(longitudinal optical) near 974${\pm}$1 cm$\^$-1/ were recorded by raman scattering measurement. The deposition films were identified as the single crystal 3C-SiC phase by XRD spectra(2$\theta$=41.5$^{\circ}$). Also, with increase of films thickness, RHEED patterns gradually changed from a spot pattern to a streak pattern

Niosomes are vesicles formed from synthetic non-ionic surfactants, offering an alternative to chemically unstable and expensive liposomes as a drug carrier. Non-ionic surfactant and cholesterol mixture film leads to the formation of vesicular system by hydration with sonication method. The formation of niosome was ascertained by negative staining of TEM. The entrapment efficiency of niosomal suspension was gradually increased with increasing the ratio of cholesterol to surfactant. It was found that the niosome with 6 : 4 (polyoxyethylene 2-cetyl ether: cholesterol) ratio was more stable than those with other ratios. The topical application of acyclovir(ACV) in the treatment of herpes simplex virus type 1(HSV-1) skin disease has a long history. There are an increasing number of reports, however, in which topical ACV therapy is not as effective as oral administration. Lack of efficacy with topical ACV has been hypothesized to reflect the inadequate delivery of drug to the skin. We investigated the permeation of niosome containing $[^{3}H]ACV$ in hairless mouse skin using Franz diffusion cell model. Permeation coefficient(P) of aqueous ACV was $6.7{\times}10^{-4}\;(cm/hr)$ and that of ACV in niosome was $23.4{\times}10^{-4}\;(cm/hr)$, suggesting about 3.5 times increase in the transdermal permeation.
