  • Resistive random access memory (ReRAM)는 낮은 동작 전압, 빠른 동작 속도, 고집적화 등의 장점으로 인해 차세대 비휘발성 메모리 소자로써 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 최근에 ReRAM 절연막으로 NiOx, TiOx, AlOx TaOx, HfOx와 같은 binary metal oxide 물질들을 적용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, HfOx는 안정적인 동작 특성을 나타낸다는 점에서 ReRAM 절연막 물질로 적합하다고 보고되고 있다. ReRAM 절연막을 형성할 때, 물리 기상 증착 방법 (PVD)이나 화학 기상 증착법 (CVD)과 같은 방법이 많이 이용된다. 이러한 증착 방법들은 고품질의 박막을 형성시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 하지만, 높은 온도에서의 공정과 고가의 진공 장비가 이용되기 때문에 경제적인 문제가 있으며, 기판 또는 금속에 플라즈마 손상으로 인한 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제점들을 개선하기 위해 용액 공정이 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 용액 공정은 공정과정이 간단할 뿐만 아니라 소자의 대면적화가 가능하고 공정온도가 낮으며 고가의 진공장비가 필요하지 않은 장점을 가진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는, 용액공정을 이용하여 HfOx 기반의 ReRAM 제작하였고 $25^{\circ}C$$85^{\circ}C$에서 ReRAM의 동작특성에 미치는 compliance current의 영향을 평가하였다. 실험 방법으로는, hafnium chloride (0.1 M)를 2-methoxyethanol에 충분히 용해시켜서 precursor를 제작하였다. 이후, p-type Si 기판 위에 습식산화를 통하여 300 nm 두께의 SiO2 절연층을 성장시킨 후, 하부전극을 형성하기 위해 electron beam evaporation을 이용하여 10/100 nm 두께의 Ti/Pt 전극을 증착하였다. 순차적으로, 제작된 산화물 precursor를 이용하여 Pt 위에 spin coating 방법으로 1000 rpm 10 초, 6000 rpm 30초의 조건으로 두께 35 nm의 HfOx 막을 증착하였다. 최종적으로, solvent 및 불순물을 제거하기 위해 $180^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 10 분 동안 열처리를 진행하였으며, 상부 전극을 형성하기 위해 electron beam evaporation을 이용하여 Ti와 Al을 각각 50 nm, 100 nm의 두께로 증착하였다. ReRAM 동작에서 compliance current가 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 compliance current를 10mA에서 1mA까지 변화시키면서 측정한 결과, $25^{\circ}C$에서는 compliance current의 크기와 상관없이 일정한 메모리 윈도우와 우수한 endurance 특성을 얻는 것을 확인하였다. 한편, $85^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 측정한 경우에는 1mA의 compliance current를 적용하였을 때, $25^{\circ}C$에서 측정된 메모리 윈도우 크기를 비슷하게 유지하면서 더 우수한 endurance 특성을 얻는 것을 확인하였다. 결과적으로, 용액공정 방법으로 제작된 ReRAM을 측정하는데 있어서 compliance current를 줄이면 보다 우수한 endurance 특성을 얻을 수 있으며, ReRAM 소자의 전력소비감소에 효과적이라고 기대된다.

  • Purpose: Confronting the growing burden of dementia requires understanding the causes and predictors of dementia in order to develop preventive strategies. In Korea a large proportion (71%) of dementia is Alzheimer's disease, and the risk factors have not yet been elucidated. Dietary factors may be possible risk factors, however research on the relationship between Alzheimer's disease and dietary behaviors has been insufficient. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between compliance with the "Dietary Guidelines for Elderly (The Ministry of Health and Welfare, 2011)" and Alzheimer's disease among Korean elderly. Methods: Elderly persons who visited a University hospital or a dementia center of Seoul and agreed to participate in the examinations were selected. Among 277 subjects, 89 Alzheimer patients were selected with diagnosis and 118 subjects were assigned to the control group. Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease was based on Alzheimer's disease criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV) and criteria of National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke-Alzheimer's Disease and related Disorders Association (NINCDS-ADRDA). Information on the general characteristics, health related behaviors and compliance with the dietary guidelines for Korean elderly was collected by face to face interview using a structured questionnaire. Anthropometric variables were measured during the survey. Results: Total compliance score of dietary guidelines was significantly lower in the Alzheimer's disease group than in the control group (p = 0.0001). The odds ratio of Alzheimer's disease was significantly decreased in the group with the highest dietary guideline compliance score (OR = 0.47, 95 % CI = 0.18~1.09) compared to the group with the lowest compliance score. Conclusion: The results indicate that increasing compliance with the dietary guidelines could be an effective strategy to decrease the risk of Alzheimer's disease among Korean elderly.

  • The purpose of this study is to present the effect of differences in individual coping and organizational homogeneity culture on information security compliance from an exploratory perspective. The study divided groups into individual coping (task-oriented, emotion-oriented) and organizational homogeneity culture (homogeneity, heterogeneity), confirms the difference in information security for each group through cross-design and presents a multiple mediation model between information security factors. As a result of the study, in the coping dimension, the average of the security compliance factors was higher in the emotion-oriented than the task-oriented, and in the homogeneity culture dimension, the average of the security compliance factors was higher in the homogeneity than the heterogeneity. Additionally, social influence and involvement had a multiple mediation effect on the relationship between information security awareness and compliance intention. The implications of this study were to confirm the difference in the effect of individual decision-making styles on security compliance according to the organizational culture differences. The results suggest the necessity of applying a customized information security compliance model for each organization and individual characteristics.

  • Waste management in Jeju Province, Korea, has recently emerged as an urgent problem. The increasing waste discharge requires more landfills but, since it is an island, the available land is restricted. Accordingly, an efficient waste management urgently requires environmentally sustainable policies. In this article, the waste discharge characteristics (such as the amount of waste, its composition, etc.) of Jeju Province have been compared with those in the rest of Korea. The current industrial waste management of two cities on the Island, Jeju City and Seogwipo City, has been also analyzed to suggest policies for an efficient management. The local government's endeavor to enhance environmental awareness of the community has been known to reduce the private cost of policy compliance, and have individuals recognize the results of their policy compliance. Policies to achieve the above are then proposed.

  • In accordance with the Watershed Sewer System Maintenance Plan enforced on February 2, 2013, the different compliance concentration of effluent limit be applied to effluent discharged from public sewage treatment works(PSTWs) in each watershed on the basis of water quality thereof. With the introduction of watershed sewer system, it is necessary to set the compliance concentration of effluent limit for PSTWs situated in the watershed, by region and PSTW size, to achieve water quality criteria for regional watersheds or target water quality under TMDL program. Watershed Environmental Agencies establish the Watershed Sewer System Maintenance Plan and set the compliance concentrations of effluent limit for PSTWs under the plan. The agencies plan to apply tougher effluent BOD concentration limits in Class I to IV areas. Effluent BOD concentration limits will be toughened from 5~10 mg/L to 3 mg/L in class II~III areas, from 10mg/L to 5mg/L in class IV areas. Uniform application of effluent BOD concentration limits to PSTWs in the watershed sewer system need to be complemented considering type of sewage treatment technology employed and watershed characteristics. Therefore, this study presents method to determine the compliance concentration of effluent limit from PSTWs in the watershed.

  • It could be suggested that adult orthodontic patients may have peculiar psychological features as well as different periodontal tissue conditions compared with adolescent patients. The aims of the present investigation were to explore the relationships between psychological characteristics and treatment compliance of patient to orthodontist and assistants (dental hygienists). Two types of locus of control data (I-score, Internal locus of control score ; E-score, External locus of control score) were obtained for 312 adult patients and 765 adolescents and then analyzed in relation to their sex and treatment compliance. In general, orthodontic patients showed higher I-score trends than ordinary persons and adult patients manifested higher I-score than adolescent patients. Unlike adult patients, female adolescent patients showed higher I-score than male adolescent patients. Adult patients with higher E-score and adolescent patients with higher I-score than their counter-part subgroup were classified into more compliant group. Orthodontist performed more generous decision about patients' compliance than assistants. The results of this study also suggest that psychological survey in orthodontic field could comprise useful diagnostic criteria.
