Electrical Characteristics of Carbon Nanotube Embedded 4H-SiC MOS Capacitors
Tae Seop Lee, Sang Mo Koo
J Electr Electron Mater 2014;27(9):547-550.   Published online September 1, 2014
In this study, the electrical characteristics of the nickel (Ni)/carbon nanotube (CNT)/SiO2structures were investigated in order to analyze the mechanism of CNT in MOS device structures. We fabricated 4H-SiC MOS capacitors with or without CNTs. CNT was dispersed by isopropyl alcohol. The capacitance-voltage (C-V) and current-voltage (I-V) are characterized. Both devices were measured by Keithley 4200 SCS. The experimental flatb and voltage (VFB) shift was positive. Near-interface trap charge density (Nit) and negative oxide trap charge density (Nox) value of CNT embedded MOS capacitors was less than that values of reference samples. Also, the leakage current of CNT embedded MOS capacitorsis higher than reference samples. It has been found that its oxide quality is related to charge carriers and/or defect states in the interface of MOS capacitors.

Hun Suk Chung, Ey Goo Kang
J Electr Electron Mater 2014;27(9):551-554.   Published online September 1, 2014
This paper was showed latch up characteristics of super junction power MOSFET by parasiticthyristor according to trench etch angle. As a result of research, if trench etch angle of super junction MOSFET is larger, we obtained large latch up voltage. When trench etch angle was 90°, latch up voltage was more 50 V. and we got 700 V breakdown voltage. But we analyzed on resistance. if trench etch angle of super junction MOSFET is larger, we obtained high on resistance. Therefore, we need optimal point by simulation and experiment for solution of trade off.

Gwang Min Lee, Sang Hoon Shin, Ju Hyun Yoo
J Electr Electron Mater 2014;27(9):555-560.   Published online September 1, 2014
n this paper, in order to develop outstanding Pb-free composition ceramics, the Fe2O3-doped(Na0.525K0.443Li0.037)(Nb0.883Sb0.08 Ta0.037)O3 + 0.3 wt% Bi2O3 + x wt% Fe2O3 (x= 0∼1.0 wt%)(abbreviated as NKL-NST) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have been synthesized using the ordinary solid state reaction method. The effect of Fe2O3-doping on their microstructure and electrical properties were investigated. XRD diffraction pattern studies confirm that Fe2O3 completely diffused into the NKL-NSTlattice to form a new stable soild solution with Fe3+ entering the Nb5+, Sb5+ and Ta5+ of B-site. And, phase structure of all the ceramics exhibited pure perovskite phase and no secondary phase was found in the ceramics. The ceramics doped with 0.6 wt% Fe2O3 have the optimum values of piezoelectric constant(d33), planar piezoelectric coupling coefficient(kp) and mechanical quality factor(Qm) : d33= 233[pC/N], kp= 0.44, Qm= 95. These results indicate that the (Na0.525K0.443Li0.037)(Nb0.883Sb0.08Ta0.037)O3 +0.3 wt%Bi2O3 + 0.6 wt% Fe2O3 ceramic is a promising candidate for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics.

Susanna Yu, Min Seok Kang, Do Kyung Kim, Kyung Sook Moon, M. S. Toprak, Sang Mo Koo
J Electr Electron Mater 2014;27(9):561-565.   Published online September 1, 2014
Thermoelectric materials have been the topic of intensive research due to their unique dual capability of directly converting heat into electricity or electrical power into cooling or heating. Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) is the best-known commercially used thermoelectric material in the bulk form for cooling and power generation applications In this work we focus on the large scale synthesis of nanostructured undoped bulk nanostructured Bi2Te3 materials by employing a novel bottom-up solution-based chemical approach. Spark plasma sintering has been employed for compaction and sintering of Bi2Te3 nanopowders, resulting in relative density of g·cm-3 while preserving the nanostructure. The average grain size of the final compacts was obtained as 200 nm after sintering. An improved NS bulkundoped Bi2Te3 is achieved with sintered at 400℃ for 4 min holding time.

Sung Back Park, Hoon Kyu Shin, Jun Woo Lim, Sang Mok Chang, Young Soo Kwon
J Electr Electron Mater 2014;27(9):566-570.   Published online September 1, 2014
Electrode pattern effects on the capacitive humidity sensor were investigated. The fabrication of the capacitive humidity sensor was formed with three steps. The bottom electrode was formed on the silicon substrate with Pt/Ti thin layer by using shadow mask and e-beam evaporator. The photosensitive polyimide was formed on the bottom electrode by using photolithography process as a humidity sensitive thin film. The upper electrode was formed on the polyimide thin film with Pt/Ti thin layer by using e-beam evaporator and lift-off method. Three electrode patterns, such as circle, square, and triangle pattern, were used and changed the sizes to investigate the effects. The capacitances of the sensors were decreased 622 to 584 pF with the area decreament of patterns 250,000 to 196,250 μm2. From these results, a capacitive humidity sensor with photo sensitive polyimide is expected to be applied to a high sensitive humidity sensor.

Nam Kyu Kim, Hoon Kyu Shin, Young Soo Kwon
J Electr Electron Mater 2014;27(9):571-575.   Published online September 1, 2014
We synthesized new materials of Zn(HPB)2 and Ir-complexes as blue or red emitting material. We fabricated white Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) by using Zn(HPB)2 for the blue emitting layer, Ir-complexes for the red emitting layer and Alq3 for the green emitting layer. We fabricated white OLED by using double emitting layers of Zn(HPB)2:Ir-complexes and Alq3. The doping rate of Ir-complexes was varied, such as 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, and 0.8%, respectively. When the doping rate of Zn(HPB)2:Ir-complexes was 0.6%, white emission was achieved. The Commission Internationale de l`Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of the white emission was (0.322, 0.312).

3 mol% Co-added Ni(OH)2 fine powders, which showed β-phase, as positive electrode materials have been fabricated using NiSO4;6H2O aqueous solution by ultrasonic spray-chemical precipitation and subsequent hydrothermal method, and sheet-like Ni nanopowder was fabricated by mechano-chemical reduction method. The addition effects of the sheet-like Ni nanopowder on the electrochemical properties of the positive electrode in Ni-Zn Redox flow battery were investigated. Impedance spectroscopy revealed that the addition of the sheet-like Ni nanopowder resulted in decrease in the electrical resistivity; 10 wt.% addition reduced the electrical properties by a fifth. Cyclic voltammetry showed the addition of the sheet-like Ni nanopowder resulted in decrease in the potential difference of oxidation and reduction; this means the increase in the reversability for electrode reduction. Charge/discharge measurement confirmed that the addition of the sheet-like Ni nanopowder resulted in the increase in the discharge efficiency.
