Nitrogen Doping Strategy in SiO Insulators for Stable and Hydrogen-Resistant ALD-IGZO TFTs.

In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated via atomic layer deposition (ALD) show promise for future display applications. However, they face challenges related to bias stability and hydrogen vulnerability. We propose an N doping strategy for SiO gate insulators (GI) using nitrous oxide (NO) plasma reactants to control the active layer/GI interface and GI bulk properties of top-gate bottom-contact (TG-BC) IGZO TFTs.

Elasto-inertial microfluidic separation of microspheres with submicron resolution at high-throughput.

Elasto-inertial microfluidic separation offers many advantages including high throughput and separation resolution. Even though the separation efficiency highly depends on precise control of the flow conditions, no concrete guidelines have been reported yet in elasto-inertial microfluidics. Here, we propose a dimensionless analysis for precise estimation of the microsphere behaviors across the interface of Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids.

Prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from oysters in Korea.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the most prevalent gastroenteritis-causing pathogen in Korea and in some other Asian countries. It is frequently found in oysters and other seafood. This study monitored changes in the prevalence of V.
