Carbon dioxide ($CO_2$, R-744) has become a very popular issue in application to refrigeration and air conditioning systems as a natural refrigerant. An experimental study has been carried out to investigate miscibility and the vapor pressure of refrigerant R-744 in the presence of lubricant oil. This is of particular interest in the selection of the lubricant oil for the compressor of a refrigeration system or an air conditioning system using the refrigerant R-744. The experimental set-up consists of the equilibrium cell, measuring devices, the vacuum pump, the constant temperature bath and relevant connecting pipes made of stainless steel. Five lubricant oils, such as mineral oil (Naphthenic), AB (Alkyl Benzene) oil, PAO (Poly Alpha Olefin) oil, PAG (Poly Alkylene Glycol) oil and POE (Polyol Ester) oil are considered in the present study. Test runs were conducted with the oil concentration range from 5 to 50 wt％, and the temperature range from -10 to 1$0^{\circ}C$ with 2$^{\circ}C$ intervals. The miscibility results are visualized and correlated with the vapor pressure for the individual test components.

Al doped ZnO thin films have been deposited by a RF magnetron sputtering technique from a ZnO (2 wt.% $Al_2O_3$) target onto glass substrates heated at temperature ranging from RT to $400^{\circ}C$. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the deposits have a preferential growth along the c-axis of a hexagonal structure. The full with at half maximum decreases from 0.45 to $0.43^{\circ}$ in the studied temperature range. The root main square surface roughness increases with substrate temperature from 1.89 to 2.67 nm. All films are transparent up to 80% in the visible wavelength range and the adsorption edge is red-shifted with substrate temperature from RT to $400^{\circ}C$. The sheet resistance increases from 92 ohm/sq to 419 ohm/sq when the deposition temperature increases from RT to $400^{\circ}C$. The increment of sheet resistance is caused by lowered carrier concentration resulting from an increase in surface roughness.

In this study, the effect of packaging methods [aerobic packaging (AP), vacuum packaging (VP) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP: 75% $N_2$, 25% $CO_2$)] on colour, lipid quality and microbial growth of beef patties enhanced with flaxseed flour was investigated during storage at $2{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 10 d. L and a values of beef patties packaged in MAP and VP were higher (p<0.05) than that of the samples packaged in AP. Packaging in MAP and VP retarded the lipid oxidation (TBA value) and inhibited the bacterial growth of beef patties enhanced with flaxseed flour. Furthermore, TBA values in beef patties were correlated with a values (r = -0.340; p<0.05). Packaging in MAP was more effective than packaging in VP for inhibiting microbial growth. The samples packaged in VP lost their shape due to the compression by external atmosphere. Packaging treatment had no significant effect on saturated fatty acid (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels in beef patties. The a and b, TBA and MUFA values changed during storage time. TBA values for beef patties increased during storage time, but did not reach to the limit value (1 mg/kg) until the end of the storage time. The results suggest that the shelf life of beef patties enhanced with flaxseed flour can be extended by packaging in MAP.

The consumer's demands for minimally processed fruits and vegetables have been increased rapidly because of its convenient handling, fresh-like quality as well as producing less wastes from the environmental point of view. Asian pears which are one of the main fruits widely produced and consumed in Korea easily lost their characteristics due to browning and softening after cutting. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of various treatments on delaying deterioration of sliced Asian pears. 'Shingo' pear slices were treated with various solutions $(1%\;NaCl,\;0.2%\;L-cysteine,\;1%\;CaCl_2\;or\;1%\;calcium\;lactate)$ and were packaged with low density polyethylene $(LDPE,\;60\;{\mu}m)$, ceramic $(CE,\;60\;{\mu}m)$ or vacuum $(Ny/PE,\;80\;{\mu}m)$ film at $20^{\circ}C\;and\;0^{\circ}C$. In order to evaluate the quality of packaged sliced pears, quality index was determined in terms of color, firmness, soluble solids, titratable acidity. ascorbic acid, changes of gas composition, microbial test, and sensory quality. The results showed that sliced 'Shingo' pears packaged with CE and vacuum film maintained better quality than with LDPE at $0^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. To retard browning and softening. 0.2% L-cysteine and 1% NaCl solutions applied for 1 minute were effective to reduce surface browning of sliced pears, and 1% $CaCl_2$ was the most effective to prevent softening.

전자종이, 입을 수 있는 디스플레이, 플렉서블 터치 스크린, 투과성 면 등과 같은 차세대 플렉서블 투명 전자소자는 기계적으로 유연하고 광학적으로 투명하며 무게가 가벼운 특성을 지녀야 할 것으로 예상된다. 현재까지는Indium tin oxide (ITO), zinc tin oxide (ZTO), carbon nano tube (CNT)와 polyimide 계열의 물질들이flexible, wearable, and transparent electronics (FWTEs) 소자의 electrode, active channel, dielectric layers로 제안되어 활발히 연구되었다. 최근에는 높은 이동도(~200,000 cm2/Vs) 및 유연성(fracture strain of 30%), 투명도 (97.5% for monolayer)와 같은 특성을 갖는 그래핀에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 그래핀을 차세대 플렉서블 투명 전자소자 구현에 적용하기 위해서는 플렉서블하고 투명한 절연체의 확보 및 그래핀의 진성(intrinsic) 특성 유지 등과 같은 문제점들을 해결해야 한다. 따라서, 본 연구팀에서는 그래핀 기반 플렉서블 투명 전자소자의 게이트 절연층으로 적합한 poly-4-vinylphenol/poly (melamineco-formaldehyde) (PVP/PMF) 물질을 제시하고 이에 대한 전기적 재료적 분석을 수행하였다. 특히 다양한 PVP와 PMF의 비율 및 가열(annealing 혹은 curing) 온도에서 형성된 PVP/PMF 층의 화학 및 전기적 특성을 FT-IR, I-V, 그리고 C-V 측정을 통해 확인하였다. PVP/PMF는 유기절연 물질의 하나로서 높은 유연성과 투명도를 갖고 있을 뿐만 아니라 그래핀에 적용 시 그래핀의 진성 특성을 확보할 수 있다. 이는 PVP/PMF에 존재하는 hydroxyl (-OH) 그룹과 그래핀 상에서 정공(hole)을 공급하는 것으로 알려져 있는 -OH 그룹들간의 cross-linking 메커니즘에 의한 것으로 예상된다. 마지막으로 최적화된 PVP/PMF (낮은 hysteresis 전압)를 게이트 절연층에 적용하여 polyethylene terephthalate (PET) 기판 및 연구원의 손가락 위에 95.8%의 투명도 및 0에 가까운 Dirac point를 갖는 그래핀 기반 플렉서블 투명 전자소자를 성공적으로 집적하였다.

The role and effect of Sb surfactant on structure and properties of p type gallium nitride (GaN) epilayers have been investigated. It was found that there was a increase of hole concentration with Sb surfactant, compared to typical Mg-doped p-GaN. The structural and optical quality of p-GaN epilayers were accessed by x-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and atomic force microscope measurements. The results clearly show that the increase in hole concentration with Sb surfactant can be resulted from decrease in the dislocations and nitrogen point defects.

최근 국내 반도체 기술의 비약적인 발전으로 전자 기기 전반에 소형화, 고주파화, 고기능화 등이 진행되는데 반해, 반도체 소자등에 전원을 공급하거나 회로 전체를 운용하는 전기 신호를 변조.증폭시키는데 반해, 반도체 소자등에 전원을 공급하거나 회로 전체를 운용하는 전기신호를 변조.증폭시키는 인덕터, 트랜스 포머와 같은 수동 자기 소자는 아직도 3차원 벌크 형태로 사용되고 있다. 일본을 중심으로 각국에서는 자기 소자의 박막.소형화에 대한 다각도의 연구가 진행되었으나 국내서는 아직 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 고집적 전원 공급 장치나 지능 센서 등에 반도체와 자기 소자의 사용 주파수 대역과 크기가 통합된 반도체-자성체 IC(semiconductor-magnetic integrated circuit)의 필요성이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 현재 사용중인 벌크형 인덕터나, 트랜스 포머의 경우 10NHz이상의 고주파 대역에는 응용되지 못하고 있다. 이는 적용된 자성체가 페라이트(ferrite)로서 초투자율은 크지만 고주파대역에서의 공진 현상에 의해 저투자율을 나타내고, 포화 자속밀도가 낮기 때문이다. 이러한 페라이트 자성체의 대체품으로 주목받고 있는 것이 Fe, Co계 고비저항 자성마이다. 그러나 Co는 낮은 포화자속밀도를 나타내기 때문에 이러한 조건을 충족시키는 자성막으로 Fe계 미세 결정막을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 선택적 전기 도금법(selective electroplating method)과 LIGA like process를 이용하여 공시형 인덕터(air core inductor)의 라이브러리(library)를 구축한 뒤, 고주파 대역에서의 우수한 연자기 특성을 가지는 Ti/FeTaN막을 적용한 자기 박막 인덕터(magnetic thin film inductor)를 제작하여 비교.분석하였다. 제조된 인덕터의 특성 추정은 impedence analyzer를 이용하여 주파수에 따른 저항(resistance), 인덕턴스(inductance)를 측정, 계산한 성능지수(quality factor)로서 인덕터의 성능을 평가하였다. 제조된 박막 인덕터의 코일 형상은 5턴의 double rectangular spiral 구조였으며, 적용된 자성막의 유효 투자율9effective permeability)은 1500, 자성막, 절연막 그리고 코일의 두께는 각각 2$\mu\textrm{m}$, 1$\mu\textrm{m}$, 20$\mu\textrm{m}$이며 코일의 폭은 100$\mu\textrm{m}$, 코일간의 간격은 100$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 제조된 박막 인덕터는 5MHz에서 1.0$\mu$H의 인덕턴스를 나타내었으며 dc current dervability는 100mA까지 유지되었다.

Giant magnetoresistance (GMR), tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR), and magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) are currently active areas of research. Magnetite, Fe3O4, is predicted to possess as half-metallic nature, ~100% spin polarization (P), and has a high Curie temperature (TC~850 K). On the other hand, Spinel ferrite CoFe2O4 has been widely studies for various applications such as magnetorestrictive sensors, microwave devices, biomolecular drug delivery, and electronic devices, due to its large magnetocrystalline anisotropy, chemical stability, and unique nonlinear spin-wave properties. Here we have investigated the magneto-transport properties of epitaxial CoxFe3-xO4 thin films. The epitaxial CoxFe3-xO4 (x=0; 0.4; 0.6; 1) thin films were successfully grown on MgO (100) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The quality of the films during growth was monitored by reflection high electron energy diffraction (RHEED). From temperature dependent resistivity measurement, we observed that the Werwey transition (1st order metal-insulator transition) temperature increased with increasing x and the resistivity of film also increased with the increasing x up to $1.6{\Omega}-cm$ for x=1. The magnetoresistance (MR) was measured with magnetic field applied perpendicular to film. A negative transverse MR was disappeared with x=0.6 and 1. Anomalous Hall data will be discussed.

ZnO seed layer were deposited on quartz substrate by sol-gel method and prism-like Al-doped ZnO nanorods (AZO nanorods) were grown on ZnO seed layer by hydrothermal method with various Al concentration ranging from 0 to 2.0 at.%. Structural and optical properties of the AZO nanorods were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL). The diameter of the AZO nanorods was smaller than undoped ZnO nanorods and its diameter of the AZO nanorods decreased with increasing Al concentration. In XRD spectrum, it was observed that stress and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the AZO nanorods decreased and the 'c' lattice constant increased as the Al concentration increased. From undoped ZnO nanorods, it was observed that the green-red emission peak of deep-level emission (DLE) in PL spectra. However, after Al doping, not only a broad green emission peak but also a blue emission peak of DLE were observed.

In the era of 45 nm or beyond technology, conventional etch mask using photoresist showed its limitation of etch mask pattern collapse as well as pattern erosion, thus hard mask in etching became necessary for precise control of etch pattern geometry. Currently available hard mask materials are amorphous carbon and polymetric materials spin-on containing carbon or silicon. Amorphous carbon layer (ACL) deposited by PECVD for etch hard mask has appeared in manufacturing, but spin-on carbon (SOC) was also suggested to alleviate concerns of particle, throughput, and cost of ownership (COO) [1]. SOC provides some benefits of reduced process steps, but it also faced with wiggling on a sidewall profile. Diamond like carbon (DLC) was also evaluated for substituting ACL, but etching selectivity of ACL was better than DLC although DLC has superior optical property [2]. Developing a novel material for pattern hard mask is very important in material research, but it is also worthwhile eliminating a potential issue to continuously develop currently existing technology. In this paper, we investigated in-situ dry-cleaning (ISD) monitoring of ACL coated process chamber. End time detection of chamber cleaning not only provides a confidence that the process chamber is being cleaned, but also contributes to minimize wait time waste (WOW). Employing Challenger 300ST, a 300mm ACL PECVD manufactured by TES, a series of experimental chamber cleaning runs was performed after several deposition processes in the deposited film thickness of $2000{\AA}$ and $5000{\AA}$. Ar Actinometry and principle component analysis (PCA) were applied to derive integrated and intuitive trace signal, and the result showed that previously operated cleaning run time can be reduced by more than 20% by employing real-time monitoring in ISD process.
