  • Patent number: 11639891
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a photoacoustic gas sensor for detecting the presence or absence of gas using the interaction of a laser beam and gas molecules. The integrated photoacoustic gas sensor according to an embodiment includes a light output unit; a lens unit configured to concentrate a laser beam output from the light output unit; and a photoacoustic sensing unit having a quartz tuning fork aligned on the lens unit and configured to convert a vibration, generated when the laser beam passing through the lens unit interacts with gas molecules, into an electric signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 12, 2021
    Date of Patent: May 2, 2023
    Assignee: KOREA INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

  • Patent number: 10964550
    Abstract: A method for surface planarization of an object using a light source of a specific wavelength according to an embodiment includes: providing an object in a main chamber; injecting an etching gas into the main chamber; inputting the light source of a specific wavelength onto a surface of the object; and controlling a temperature of the object. According to the method, it is possible to minimize the side effects such as scratches or contamination of the sample that occur in a conventional chemical-mechanical planarization process. In addition, it is possible to allow precise planarization in nanometers (nm) and simultaneously perform planarization to a side surface of a device as well as a large-sized surface, thereby reducing cost and time required for the planarization process. Moreover, since the surface roughness and the electrical conductivity are improved, it is possible to increase the efficiency and output of the LED device.

  • Publication number: 20180053869
    Abstract: Provided are a solar cell panel and a window having the same. The solar cell panel includes: a light diffusion layer to which light is incident and at which the light is scattered; a light concentration layer laminated at a lower portion of the light diffusion layer and having a plurality of patterns spaced apart from each other and having a cavity shape convex toward the light diffusion layer at a surface thereof opposite to the light diffusion layer so that light passing through the light diffusion layer is reflected and concentrated to a side portion thereof; and a solar cell array provided at a side surface of the light concentration layer and having a plurality of solar cells arranged along the side surface of the light concentration layer and electrically connected to each other.
