Abstract:
Disclosed is an insulating organic polymer having side chains that enable the formation of a highly hydrophobic insulating layer with decreased surface energy. Decreased surface energy of an organic insulating layer formed using the insulating organic polymer may lead to an increase in the degree of alignment of a semiconductor material. Therefore, the insulating organic polymer may be used to fabricate an organic thin film transistor having improved characteristics, e.g., decreased threshold voltage and increased charge carrier mobility. Further disclosed are an organic insulating layer formed using the insulating polymer, an organic thin film transistor comprising the insulating layer and a method of fabricating the same, and an electronic device comprising the organic thin film transistor.

In addition, impurities contained in a metal catalyst can be prevented from being introduced into the nanowires, contributing to an improvement in the electrical and optical properties of the nanowires. Also disclosed herein are nanowires produced by the method and nanodevice comprising the nanowires.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are NPN-type low molecular aromatic ring compounds, organic semiconductor layers formed from such compounds that exhibit improved electrical stability and methods of forming such layers using solution-based processes, for example, spin coating processes performed at or near room temperature. These NPN-type compounds may be used, either singly or in combination, for fabricating organic semiconductor layers in electronic devices. The NPN-type aromatic ring compounds according to example embodiments may be deposited as a solution on a range of substrates to form a coating film that is then subjected to a thermal treatment to form a semiconductor thin film across large substrate surfaces that exhibits reduced leakage currents relative to conventional PNP-type organic semiconductor materials, thus improving the electrical properties of the resulting devices.

Abstract:
A self-regenerative burner has a burner tile coupled to the head portion of the burner. The burner tile includes a fuel injection hole formed through the center of a body; intake/exhaust holes formed around the fuel injection hole; a mixing-preventing separation wall formed with respect to the fuel injection hole, the separation wall bisecting the intake/exhaust holes to prevent air movement between the intake/exhaust holes; and first and second combustion sections formed at both sides with respect to the separation wall, the first and second combustion sections acting to alternately perform main combustion and exhaust, respectively. The separation wall allows intake/exhaust flows in the two combustion sections to be separated from each other. Accordingly, a flame in the burner is stabilized and the combustion and exhaust performances of the burner are improved, leading to an improvement in the energy efficiency of the burner.
