  • We carried out anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) on a Si and a sapphire substrate. For anodic oxidation of Al two types of specimens prepared were Al(0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$)!Si and Al(0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$)/Ti(0.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$)$SiO_2$(0.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$)/GaN(2 $\mu\textrm{m}$)/Sapphire. Surface morphology of Al film was analyzed depending on the deposition methods such as sputtering, thermal evaporation, and electron beam evaporation. Without conventional electron lithography, we obtained ordered nano-pattern of porous alumina by in- situ process. Electropolishing of Al layer was carried out to improve the surface morphology and evaluated. Two step anodizing was adopted for ordered regular array of AAO formation. The applied electric voltage was 40 V and oxalic acid was used as an electrolyte. The reference electrode was graphite. Through the optimization of process parameters such as electrolyte concentration, temperature, and process time, a regular array of AAO was formed on Si and sapphire substrate. In case of Si substrate the diameter of pore and distance between pores was 50 and 100 nm, respectively. In case of sapphire substrate, the diameter of pore and distance between pores was 40 and 80 nm, respectively

  • 국내의 등산용 아웃도어 제품의 경우, 기능성인 투습도와 내수압만을 증대시키려는 연구가 주류를 이루고 있었다. 하지만, 실제 등산용 아웃도어의 경우 산악지형인 고지대에서 사용시간이 많으므로, 이에 따른 장시간의 직접적인 태양광 노출로 인한 인체에 치명적인 영향을 야기시키고 있지만, 인체 보호용 헬스케어 아웃도어 제품에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 태양광은 자외선 2.5%, 가시광선 51.5%, 적외선 46.0%의 광량 비율을 가지고 있으며, 이 중 자외선은 광량은 적지만 에너지적으로 높아 유기물 분해 및 열화를 일으킨다. 이러한 자외선을 차단하기위해 아웃도어 의류에서는 유무기하이브리드 소재를 표면에 코팅시키게 되며, 기능성 코팅액내에 함유되어 있는 나노분말의 경우 이산화티타늄($TiO_2$), 산화세륨(CeO), 산화아연(ZnO), 삼산화텅스텐($WO_3$), 산화마그네슘(MgO) 등이 주로 사용되어 진다. 본 연구에서는 자외선 흡수소재로 나노산화아연분말을 이용하여, 그 입도 및 코팅용 희석 용매내의 분산성을 확인하고, 함유량을 달리한 코팅 수지를 제조하여, 코팅시편 제조 후 그 특성을 비교/분석하여 자외선 차단 효과를 확인하고자 한다.

  • Titanium oxide film was deposited on the commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) by thermal oxidation method for its medical application. The cp-Ti disks were cleaned and then heat-treated at the temperatures of 500, 550, 600, 650, and 700${\circ}C$, respectively, for 10 min in air or Ar. To test the ability of calcium phosphate formation, the specimens were immersed in the Eagle's minimum essential medium solution at 36.5${\circ}C$ for 15 days. The morphology and chemical composition of the surfaces before and after soaking were analyzed by using FE-SEM and EDS. The in-vitro formation of carbonated calcium phosphate on the thin films containing nano-sized $TiO_2$ crystals was identified.

  • REBCO coated conductors (RE: rare earth elements) have recently drawn great attention since they are known to possess stronger flux pinning centers in high magnetic fields compared with YBCO coated conductors. In this study, $GdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-d}(GdBCO)$ was selected to investigate the influence of the distance between target and substrate and substrate temperature on the superconducting properties of GdBCO films on the $SrTiO_3(100)$ substrate. Samples were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with a Nd:YAG laser (355nm). Under a given oxygen pressure of 800mTorr, we changed the distance between target and substrate from 5.5cm to 7.0cm and the substrate temperature from $750^{\circ}C\;to\;850^{\circ}C$. The crystallinity and texture of GdBCO films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the surface morphology was observed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Tc and Jc values were measured by the four point probe method. High quality GdBCO films with Tc of 89.7K and Jc over $1MA/cm^2$ at 77 K in self field were successfully fabricated by optimizing processing parameters. The detailed processing conditions, microstructure and superconducting properties will be presented for a discussion.

  • 투명전극은 디스플레이, 태양전지와 같은 광전자 소자에 필수적이며, 지금까지 개발된 재료 중에는 ITO가 가장 투명하면서 전기전도도가 높고 생산성도 좋기 때문에 투명전극의 재료로 사용하고 있다. ITO는 낮은 비저항(${\sim}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$) 과 높은 투과율 (~85 %), 상대적으로 넓은 밴드갭 에너지 (3.5 eV) 의특성과 같이 뛰어난 전기적 광학적 특성에 반해서 높은 원자재 가격, 불안정한 공급량 등으로 인한 문제점이꾸준히 제기되고 있다. 따라서 $In_2O_3$:Sn, ZnO:Al, ZnO:Ga, ZnO:F, ZnO:B, TiN 등과 같은 물질들로대체하려는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. ZnO는 ITO보다원자재의 수급이 원활하기 때문에 원가가 낮으며, 상대적으로 낮은 온도에서도 제작이 가능하다. 또한 화학적으로 안정적이므로 ZnO에 Al, Ga 등의 3족 원소를 도핑함으로써 낮은 비저항의 박막 제작이 가능하고, ITO 박막과 비교하여 etching이 쉬우며 기판과의 접착성이 좋으며, sputtering 공정시 plasma 분위기에서의 안정성이 뛰어나고 박막증착율이 높기 때문에 투명전극으로 적합한 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 cylindrical type의 Aldoping된 ZnO single target을 사용하여 박막 증착 압력의 변화를 주어 유리기판 위에 DC sputtering을 하였다. Fieldemission scanning electron microscope (FESEM)을 통해 ZnO:Al 박막의 표면의 형상과 두께를 확인하였으며, X-ray diffraction (XRD) 분석을 통해 박막의 결정학적 특성을 관찰하였다. 투명전극용 물질로서 ZnO:Al 박막의 적합성 여부를 확인하기 위하여 Van der Pauw 방법을 이용하여 박막의 비저항, 전자 이동도, 캐리어 농도를 측정하였으며, 박막의 기계적 성질 및 표면 접착성을 확인하기 위하여 nano-indentaion 분석을 하였다. 또한 UV-vis spectrophotometer를 이용하여 ZnO:Al 박막의 투과율을 분석하여 투명전극으로의 응용 가능성을 확인하였다.

  • 나노결정 합금재료를 전력선 통신 커플러용 자심재료로 응용하기 위해서는 고주파 대역에서의 손실 특성이 제어되어야 한다. 즉 고속 전력선 통신을 위한 자심재료의 투자율 및 완화 주파수 등의 전자기적 특성은 30MHz까지 우수하고 안정적으로 유지되어야 하며, 높은 투자율 및 자속밀도, 공진주파수뿐만 아니라 낮은 전력손실 값을 가져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 나노결점 합금 리본 표면에 딥 코팅, 졸-겔법, 진공함침 등의 방법을 이용하여 PZT, $TiO_2$$SiO_2$ 등의 산화물 고저항층을 형성시켜 자기적 성질을 유지하면서 고주파 대역의 와전류 손실을 감소시켜 통신용 자심재료로의 응용성을 향상시키고자 하였다. PZT 슬러리의 제타전위 조절을 통해 최적의 분산조건을 얻을 수 있었고, 평균 150nm인 PZT 입자의 초미립자와 가소제, 분산제, 결합제의 첨가조건을 확립할 수 있었다. 딥-코팅은 슬러리 내 유지시간 10초, 인상속도 5mm/min로 30회 반복되었을 때 가정 우수한 특성을 나타내었으며, 고주파 대역에서의 손실 감소효과를 나타내었다. 그리고 졸-겔법에 의해 제조된 슬러리를 이용한 $TiO_2$$SiO_2$ 산화물 저항층 코팅을 통해 금속 알콕사이드의 혼합조건 및 저항층 형성용 슬러리의 제조조건을 확립하였고, 합금 리본표면에 균일하고 우수한 점착력을 가지는 저항층을 형성시킬 수 있었으며, 이에 따른 코어손실의 감소효과를 나타낼 수 있었다. 또한 진공 함침법을 통한 저항층 형성에서, $TiO_2$ 나노분말을 표면 저항층으로 코팅했을 때, 가장 높은 코어손실 감소효과를 나타내었다. 한편, 표면 저항층이 형성된 나노결정 합금으로 제조한 자심재료를 이용하여 전력선 통신용 비접촉식 커플러에의 적용과 시험을 통해 고주파 손실 감소효과에 의한 신호전송 특성과 전류특성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

  • A two-dimensional photonic crystal structure was investigated using a roll-to-roll nanoreplication and physical vapor deposition processes for the inexpensive enhanced fluorescence substrate which is not sensitive to the polarization directions of excitation light source. An 8 inch silicon master having nano dot array with a diameter of 200 nm, a height of 100 nm and a pitch of 400 nm was prepared by KrF laser scanning lithography and reactive ion etching processes. A flexible polymer mold was fabricated by flat type UV replication process and a deposition of 10 nm nickel layer as an anti-adhesion layer. A roll mold was prepared by warping the flexible polymer mold on an aluminum roll base and a roll-to-roll UV replication process was carried out using the roll mold. After the deposition of ~ 100 nm $TiO_2$ layer on the replicated nano dot array, a 2 dimensional photonic crystal structure was realized with a resonance wavelength of 635 nm for both p- and s-polarized light sources.

  • In this paper, PCB embedded balanced-to-unbalamced duplexer using coupled LC resonator was introduced for low cost dualband WiMax front-end-module application. In order to obtain the function of bandpass filter and balun transformer, proposed duplexer was configured by using magnetically coupled LC resonator. Out-of-band suppression was enhanced by applying two m-Derived transform circuits to obtain transmission zeros at 2GHz and 4.8GHz. In order to reduce the size of embedded duplexer, BaSrTiO3 (BST) composite high Dk RCC film was applied to improve the capacitance density. This high Dk film provided the capacitance density of 12.2 pF/mm2. The simulation results shows that fabricated duplexer had an insertion loss of 2.9dB and 5.5dB and return loss of 15dB and 16dB for 2.5GHz~2.6GHz and 3.5GHz~3.6GHz, respectively. The maximum magnitude and phase imbalance were 0.01dB and 0.17dB, and 1degree and 2degree in its passband, respectively. The out-of-band suppression was observed approximately 29dB and 40dB below 1.9GHz and over 4.5GHz, respectively. It has a volume of 6 mm $\times$ 7 mm $\times$ 0.7 mm (height).

  • The temperature-programmed reduction of titanium oxide ($TiO_2$) with pure $CH_4$ was used for the preparation of titanium carbide crystallites. The synthesized materials had the different surface areas, indicating that the structural properties of these materials were strong functions of two different heating rates and space velocity employed. The titanium carbide crystallites were active for $NH_3$ decomposition. Since the reactivity varied with changes in the particle size, ammonia decomposition reactivity over the titanium carbides crystallites appeared to be related to the different active species. The reactivities of titanium carbide crystallites were two and three times lower than those of the vanadium and molybdenum carbide crystallites, respectively. These results suggested that the difference in activities might be related to the degree of electron transfer between metals and carbon.

  • Electrophoretic display has recently stimulated tremendous interest due to potential commercialization in the filed of information displays including e-books, e-newspapers, and other low-power portable displays. A new transparent soft mold press (TSMP) process developed in this study was found to give a good electrophoretic display panel with prepatterned micropools for the filling of charged particle slurry. It was also found that charged $TiO_2$ particles with 74.09 mV of zeta potential and 3.11 ${\times}$ $10^{-5}$ $cm^2$/Vs of mobility were successfully prepared.
