We investigated the electrical stabilities of 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)-pentacene (TIPSpentacene) thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated with cross-linked polymeric insulators, i.e., poly(4-vinylphenol) (PVP) and poly(4-vinylphenol-co-methyl methacrylate) (PVP-co-PMMA). Compared to the cross-linked PVP insulator, the TIPS-pentacene TFTs containing a cross-linked PVP-co-PMMA insulator exhibit less hysteresis upon reversal of the gate-voltage sweep direction and a lower shift in the threshold voltage during consecutive operations, which is ascribed to the relatively hydrophobic surface of the cross-linked PVP-co-PMMA insulator. When these polymer solutions are mixed with yttrium-oxide nanoparticles, the rough surfaces of both nanocomposite insulators lead to larger shifts in the threshold voltage during consecutive operations, but its effect on the hysteretic behavior in the transfer characteristics of the TIPS-pentacene TFTs is negligible. Thus, the influence of the surface properties of the polymeric insulators on the electrical stability of TIPS-pentacene TFTs can be explained through hole-trapping and the delayed-depletion of the holes at the insulator/semiconductor interface.

레이다기법을 이용한 마이크로파 Reflectometry를 비균질 매질의 밀도 특성을 조사하기 위한 비파괴검사 장치로 응용하기 위한 시스템 특성을 연구하였다. 마이크로파 Reflectometry로 비균질 매질을 조사하기 위해서는 대상에 따른 시스템의 하드웨어 구성이 최적화되어야 하며, 각 시스템에서의 소신호 반응특성이 이해되어야만 전체적인 시스템 해법을 제공하는 것이 된다. 그 중에서 플라즈마 연구분야에 응용하기 시작한 것은 비교적 최근의 일로서 그 활용도가 점차 증가하고 있는 경향이다. 조사하는 대상의 특성에 따른 시스템의 구성을 이해하고, 파동수 및 밀도 섭동에 관한 시스템의 특성을 조사하기 위한 장치를 제안하며, 실험적 방법의 결과와 1차원 파동방정식을 이용한 수치해석적 결과를 비교 검증하였다. The characteristics of microwave reflectometry as a non-invasive device to examine the density distribution of inhomogeneous media using the technology of FM radar is presented. The microwave reflectometry system requires an optimized system hardware and the understanding of system response from the density distribution in order to provide the system solution to describe the object under test quantitatively. Among the applications, the use of microwave reflectomeoy in the area of applied plasma physics has been newly proposed and the number of usage is found to be increasing gradually. The microwave reflectometry systems that depend on the nature of the object under test are described. The experimental method to characterize the system is explained and the experimental results on the wavenumber dependence and the sensitivity on density perturbation are presented as well as the comparison to the results from the one dimensional numerical simulations.

Operational Stability of Solution-Processed Indium-Oxide Thin-Film Transistors: Environmental Condition and Electrical Stress

방성근,이현주,Xue Zhang,박재훈,김원표,고영웅,Shang Hao Piao,최형진,권진혁,배진혁 한국물리학회 2018 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.72 No.1

We investigate the operational stability of bottom-gate/top-contact-structured indium-oxide (In2O3) thin-film transistors (TFTs) in atmospheric air and under vacuum. Based on the thermogravimetric analysis of the In2O3 precursor solution, we utilize a thermal annealing process at 400 C for 40 min to prepare the In2O3 films. The results of X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and field-emission scanning electron microscopy show that the electron is the majority carrier in the In2O3 semiconductor film prepared by a spin-coating method and that the film has a polycrystalline morphology with grain boundaries. The fabricated In2O3 TFTs operate in an n-type enhancement mode. When constant drain and gate voltages are applied, these TFTs in atmospheric air exhibit a more acute decay in the drain currents with time compared to that observed under vacuum. In the positive gate-bias stress experiments, a decrease in the field-effect mobility and a positive shift in the threshold voltage are invariably observed both in atmospheric air and under vacuum, but such characteristic variations are also found to be more pronounced for the atmospheric-air case. These results are explained in terms of the electron-trapping phenomenon at the grain boundaries in the In2O3 semiconductor, as well as the electrostatic interactions between electrons and polar water molecules.

마이크로파 reflectometry의 산란 신호 응답 특성

방성근(Sungkeun Baang) 한국전자파학회 2008 한국전자파학회논문지 Vol.19 No.5

시간 지연이나 위상 지연과 같은 레이다 기법을 기반으로 하는 마이크로파 reflectometry를 비균질 매질의 밀도 특성을 조사하기 위한 비파괴 검사 장치로 응용하기 위한 시스템 특성을 연구하였다. 특히 마이크로파 reflectometry를 플라즈마 연구 분야에 응용하기 시작한 것은 비교적 최근의 일로서 그 활용도가 점차 증가하고 있는데, 마이크로파 reflectometry로 비균질 매질을 조사하기 위해서는 대상에 따른 시스템의 하드웨어 구성이 최적화되어야 하며, 시스템에서의 신호 응답 특성이 이해되어야만 전체적인 시스템 해법을 제공하는 것이 된다. 마이크로파 reflectometry를 이용하여 진단하는 대상인 플라즈마의 특성에 따른 시스템의 구성을 설명하고, 파동수 및 밀도 섭동에 관한 시스템의 특성을 실험적으로 조사하기 위한 장치를 설명하였다. 마이크로파 reflectometry의 신호는 대부분의 전자기파 에너지가 반사되는 지역에서 기인하는 cutoff 신호와 교란 신호와의 상호 작용으로 발생하는 산란 신호로 구성된다. 이 논문에서는 마이크로파 reflectometry의 산란 신호 특성을 실험적 방법으로 조사한 결과를 제시하며, 1차원 파동방정식을 이용한 수치 해석적 결과와 비교 분석하였고, cutoff 신호 특성과도 비교하였다. The characteristics of microwave reflectometry, which is based on the technologies of FM radar and is applied as a non-invasive method to examine the properties including density distribution of inhomogeneous media, is investigated. The microwave reflectometry system requires not only an optimized system hardware but as well as the understanding of system response from the media under test in order to provide the system solution describing the object under test quantitatively. The introduction of microwave reflectometry especially in the area of applied plasma physics has been relatively new and the number of usage is found to be increasing gradually. The experimental method to characterize the microwave system as a device to examine the properties of plasma is explained. The microwave reflectometry signals consist of the cutoff signals which originate from the region where most of the reflected power comes from and the scattered signals which result as an interaction of the microwave and the density perturbations. This paper describes the experimental results of the scattered signal from the microwave reflectometry, such as the wavenumber dependence and the sensitivity on density perturbation, and the comparison of the characteristics with those from the numerical simulations and those from the cutoff signals.

In this study event-related optical signals were extracted from the prefrontal cortexes using functional near infrared spectroscopy while subjects were carrying out 2-back working memory tasks. Four events such as start, yes, no, and error were considered based on the onsets of the stimulus, positive true responses, positive false responses, and negative responses in the 2-back working memory task, respectively. The optical signals recorded were analyzed by peri-event histograms and power spectrum distributions. The results showed specific characteristics of the event-related optical neuronal signals and an opened possibility of an application to control a non-invasive brain-computer interface system or an object of a virtual reality.

무선 MAN에서 Best Effort 서비스를 위한 충돌 중재 방식 : 설계 및 성능 분석

IEEE 802.16 무선 MAN 표준안에서 best effort 서비스는 가장 낮은 우선 순위이며 예약 ALOHA 기반의 MAC 방식의 지원을 받는다. 이러한 MAC 방식에서 요청 간의 충돌은 피할 수 없으므로 표준안은 충돌 중재를 위해 이진 지수형 back-off 규칙을 채택하였다. 본 논문에서는 throughput 성능의 향상을 위해 pristine 규칙과 metamorphosed 규칙으로 명명된 p-persistence 규칙에 기반한 두 가지 충돌 중재 규칙을 대안으로 제시한다. 또한 각 규칙에서 포화 throughput의 근사값을 계산하는 해석적 방법을 개발한다. 모의 실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 이러한 해석적 방법의 높은 정확성을 확인하고 이진 지수형 back-off 규칙과의 비교하여 pristine 규칙 및 metamorphosed 규칙은 높은 포화 throughput을 가져올 수 있음을 관찰한다. In the IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN standard, the best effort service class is ranked on the lowest position in priority and is assisted by a MAC scheme based on reservation ALOHA. In such a MAC scheme, a collision among the requests is unavoidable so that the standard adopted a binary exponential back-off rule to arbitrate a collision. Aiming at improving throughput performance, we present two generic collision arbitration rules based on p-persistence rule, (identified as pristine and metamorphosed rules), as alternatives in a wireless MAN. For each of these rules, we then develop an analytical method to calculate an approximate value of saturated throughput. In comparison with simulation results, we confirm the high accuracy of the analytical method. Also, the pristine and metamorphosed rules are observed to exhibit higher saturated throughput compared with the binary exponential back-off rule.
