9° and increased to 116.5° after annealing at 500 °C.By adopting metal capping layer (MC layer), electrical properties, such as field effect mobility, on current, and subthreshold swing showed enhanced characteristics with 24.996 cm²/Vs, 2.1×10-4 and 0.34 V/decade, respectively. In addition, the stability of the negative bias thermal stress (NBTS) against the ambient environment has been shown to be enhanced by the MC layer which acts like passivation layer. Without additional passivation layer, MC layer alone sufficiently inhibited the ambient effect to show low threshold voltage shift of 0.21 V compared with 0.89 V of conventional TFT. Desferrioxamine B concentration MC layer structure, enhancing the electrical characteristic and stability, had the advantages of a process that was much simpler than conventional process for high performance and stability.We synthesize the Pt-carbon composite which is composed of unzipped multi-walled carbon nanotube (UMWCNT) and graphene oxide (GO). Graphite and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) are oxidized by same method that modified Hummer's method for making GO and UMWCNT. 3D structure could be prepared by polyol process which contains simultaneously reduction GO and UMWCNT. The electrochemical and morphological property of Pt-carbon composites was investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). These results show that Pt-rGO/UMWCNT (82) hybrids exhibited high catalytic activity due to the enhanced surface area of carbon supports.Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is a prospective technology for the fabrication of integrated chips with critical dimensions (CDs) under 10-nm. However, since chips with similar CDs have similar defect sizes, one of the most critical problems in extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) is mask defect and repair. Defects cause local areas of undesired absorption, reflectivity, or phase change, which ultimately lead to imperfections in the printed image. For example, phase defects may cause substantial changes in image anomalies with different focuses. In this paper, the results of EUV vote-taking lithography are calculated and compared with other repair methods using the scattering matrix (S-matrix) method. link2 Vote-taking lithography with the assumed perfect defect-free masks (N = 4) can maximize 90% and 91% repair improvements at pit defect and dump defect, respectively.A novel trimethylsilyl substituted hyperbranched conjugated poly(phenylene vinylene) (Hyper-PBTMS-PPV) was synthesized through the Wittig polycondensation polymerization. Hyper-PBTMSPPV has good solubility in common organic solvents and showed good thermal stability up to 402 °C with less than 5 wt% weight loss. The photophysical properties of Hyper-PBTMS-PPV film are investigated and compared with trimethylsilyl-containing linear poly(1,4-phenylene vinylene) (Linear-PBTMS-PPV). An absorption maximum of Hyper-PBTMS-PPV film was determined at 335 nm which was far blue-shifted than that of Linear-PBTMS-PPV (380 nm). Hyper-PBTMS-PPV film showed blue photoluminescence (PL) peak at 449 nm. In addition, Hyper-PBTMS-PPV film exhibited almost no long wavelength emission peaks even the film was annealed at 120 °C for 30 min in air condition. High PL efficiency (Φfilm = 0.80) and no aggregate or excimer emission of Hyper-PBTMS-PPV film are due to the inhibition of intramolecular or intermolecular interaction by the introduction of the hyperbranched network into the trimethylsilyl-containing poly(phenylene vinylene) backbone.The solid electrolyte interphase formation on the negative electrodes of lithium secondary batteries has been considered as one of the principal issues limiting the performance of batteries. Si is an attractive electrode material for improving energy density of lithium secondary batteries because of its high specific theoretical capacity (4200 mAh g-1). However, solid electrolyte interphase formation on Si-based electrodes have not been clearly understood in spite of its significance. Herein, the solid electrolyte interphase formation on Si electrodes in electrolyte solutions containing ethylene carbonate or propylene carbonate was investigated by using in-situ atomic force microscopy. Large and irreversible capacity fade in SiO electrodes was confirmed in both electrolyte solutions through cyclic voltammetry and charge/discharge testing. The in-situ atomic force microscopy results indicated that the decomposition reaction occurred in the ethylene carbonate-based electrolyte solution at a potential of ~0.68 V, while the lithium alloying reaction occurred below 0.25 V during the first reduction process. The decomposition reaction was more vigorous and occurred at a higher potential in the propylene carbonate-based electrolyte solution, resulting in the formation of a thick solid electrolyte interphase film. These results suggest that the solid electrolyte interphase formation on Si electrodes is strongly influenced by the composition of the electrolyte solution.In this paper, we propose a method to detect thermal transport suitable in nanometers scale. It is feasible using the GIDL-biased MOSFET as thermal sensor. It is because the GIDL current is occurred due to the band-to-band tunnelling of the electron in a small overlap region between gate and drain. Using the relation between the thermal transport and the thermal properties (the heat resistivity and heat capacity), we conducted two ways to heat up. By generating heat in the step and sinusoidal wave form with a transistor and observing the response at other place, we were able to estimate the speed of heat on the chip. The thermal response is measured by the GIDL current of another MOSFET. The speed of the heat generated at the MOSFET is measured about 2.12 m/s.Ovonic Threshold Switch (OTS) device is most popular switching device in PRAM. There are many OTS device research; however, it is hard to make reasonable OTS device which uses a circuit simulation and real device. In this work, we studied the OTS device emulation circuit, which can follow OTS characteristic, especially snapback current using 0.18 μm CMOS technology. This circuitry composes snapback current generator, cut off switch and output driver. Snapback current generator can make the current level up to 300 μA.It is essential for multifunctional asphalt to develop the new nanostructures with high photocatalytic activity in order to endow asphalt with the self-cleaning ability of contamination. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes/ZnO (MWNTs/ZnO) composites were synthesized based on microwave irradiation and their structure and photocatalytic properties were investigated. The experimental results showed that MWNTs/ZnO powder with different morphologies was attained such as cone-shaped, floral-patterned and fusiform structures. The as-obtained MWNTs/ZnO composites were proved to possess quite high catalytic activities for degradation of methyl orange (MO). Especially, the floral-patternedMWNTs/ZnO composites displayed better photocatalytic performance than the other composites indicating that the resultant MWNTs/ZnO composites can be used as photocatalysts without any additional treatment.Epoxy resin (EP) composites have been investigated in this study for improving chemical resistance and corrosion protection performance. Homogeneous EP coatings doped by 2 wt.% of respective Si₃N₄, SiO₂ and SiC nanoparticles were successfully fabricated on stainless steel substrates. The microstructure of composites was characterized using FTIR spectra and field-emission scanning microscope. The effects of incorporating the Si-based compound nanoparticles on the surface characteristics and corrosion/resistance of coated steel were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and water contact-angle. The EP composites have significant advantages over the EP, such as higher thermal stability, larger surface roughness and better barrier performance. Additionally, SiC modified EP exhibited optimized performance as it possessed the lowest corrosion current density (5.20 × 10-7 A/cm²) and the highest coating resistance R1 (9.405 × 106 Ω).Growth processes and electrochemical behaviors of 4-fluorobenzenethiol (4-FBT) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) prepared by vapor deposition at 323 K were examined using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). STM imaging revealed that 4-FBT SAMs at the initial growth stage (deposition for 1 min) were mainly composed of bright molecular aggregates and liquid-like disordered phase. After longer deposition for 3 min, 4-FBT SAMs had three distinct surface features a few molecular aggregates, small ordered domains, and disordered phase. These small ordered domains with sizes ranging from 5 to 10 nm had a (4× √3)R30° packing structure. As deposition time increased to 24 h, long-range ordered domains larger than 40 nm were formed on Au(111) surfaces. From this STM study, we demonstrate that phase transitions of 4-FBT SAMs on Au(111) occur from molecular aggregates to large ordered domains via formation of small ordered domains as deposition time increases. CV measurements showed reductive desorption peaks for 4-FBT SAMs in the range of -638~-648 mV regardless of SAM morphology, suggesting that S-Au binding strength of 4-FBT SAMs on Au electrodes is a dominant factor for electrochemical stability.The use of carbon nanotube (CNT) films as a sulfur host is a promising approach to improve the sulfur loading and energy density of Li-S batteries. However, the inability to durably incorporate polysulfides within the cathode structure results in a limited cycle life. Herein, we propose a CNTbased sulfur cathode with carbon-coated ordered mesoporous silica (c-OMS) to overcome the cycle performance issue. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction studies on the c-OMS prepared in this work revealed that the wall surface of OMS was evenly coated with an extremely thin carbon layer. link3 The sulfur-CNT cathode with c-OMS retained a remarkably improved capacity (942 mAh g-1) with excellent cycling stability (91%) after 100 cycles as well as significantly high sulfur utilization in the first cycle compared with the sulfur-CNT cathode with OMS. This result may stem from the surface property of c-OMS with high chemical affinity towards electrolyte solvents.An ingenious design for a three-layer sulfur cathode is demonstrated, in which the pure sulfur layer is sandwiched between carbon nanotube (CNT) films. The unique feature of this particular model is that the sulfur layer does not contain any conductive materials, and therefore, the top CNT film of the prepared three-layer CNT/S/CNT electrode is electrically isolated from the bottom CNT film. Scanning electron microscopy studies revealed that the three-layer cathode was transformed into a single CNT cathode, with proximate contact between the two CNT films in the upper plateau of the first discharge. The lithium-sulfur cells employing a CNT/S/CNT cathode exhibited remarkably enhanced performance in terms of the specific capacity, rate property, and cycling stability compared to the cells with a sulfur-coated CNT cathode. This can mainly be attributed to the top CNT film, which serves not only as an interlayer to trap the migrating polysulfides, but also as an electrode to facilitate the redox reaction of active materials.
