Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a first gate insulating film on a substrate for a first device, forming a first gate electrode on the first gate insulating film; forming a mask pattern on the first gate electrode to expose opposing end portions of the first gate electrode, wherein a length of the mask pattern is smaller than a length of the first gate electrode; performing ion implantation through the exposed opposing end portions of the first gate electrode using the mask pattern to simultaneously form first and second drift regions in the substrate; forming spacers on sidewalls of the first gate electrode, respectively; and forming a first source region and a first drain region in the first and second drift regions, respectively.

Abstract: A method of separating fine particles (clay, silt, etc.) that have adsorbed contaminants such as heavy metals or radioactive nuclides in soil using cationic magnetic nanoparticles. According to the method, contaminants such as heavy metals or radioactive nuclides selectively or irreversibly adsorbed to fine particles (clay, silt, etc.) in soil may be economically and efficiently separated. Therefore, the method may be effectively used to restore soil in residential areas that are contaminated with radioactive nuclides in serious accidents such as the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster as well as facility sites contaminated with heavy metals or radioactive nuclides.

Abstract: An endoscopic image diagnosis device having a disposable ultrasound probe is disclosed. An endoscopic image diagnosis device of the present invention has an ultrasound module provided with an ultrasound probe and detachably coupled to the front end of a scope; an ultrasound image diagnosis device electrically connected to the ultrasound probe to process an ultrasound diagnosis image; an endoscopic image diagnosis device electrically connected to the scope to process an endoscopic diagnosis image; and a display for displaying the ultrasonic diagnosis image of the ultrasonic image diagnosis device and the endoscopic diagnosis image of the endoscopic image diagnosis device, and thus the present invention can attachably/detachably use the ultrasound probe at the front end of a conventional endoscope device, so as to reduce the socioeconomic cost of transferring patients to secondary and tertiary hospitals if purchased and used by primary medical personnel who could not purchase expensive conventional equipment.

Abstract: A device to protect against a surge voltage includes a body having a hexahedron shape and filled with a varistor material, a pair of input signal electrodes attached to a first side surface of the body along upward and downward directions, a pair of output signal electrodes attached to a second side surface of the body that faces the first side surface of the body in the upward and downward directions, a ground electrode attached to an upper surface of the body, at least one pair of signal connection electrode plates to connect the input signal electrodes and the output signal electrodes, and a ground plate to be connected to the ground electrode. Thus, the device can protect an electronic circuit from a surge voltage and match an impedance of a transmission line.
