These signals can be generated by diverse origins, for example, brain electric activity, myocardium electric activity, and nuclear precession of hydrogen protons. In addition, weak current induced in the low-temperature detectors, for example, transition-edge sensors can be detected using SQUIDs. And, change of magnetic flux quantum generated in a superconducting ring can be detected by SQUID, which can be used for realization of mechanical force. Thus, SQUIDs are key elements in precision metrology. In Korea, development of low-temperature SQUIDs based on Nb-Josephson junctions was started in late 1980s, and Nb-based SQUIDs have been used mainly for biomagnetic measurements; magnetocardiography and magnetoencephalography. High-T c SQUIDs, being developed in mid 1990s, were used for magnetocardiography and nondestructive evaluation. Recently, SQUID-based low-field nuclear magnetic resonance technology is under development. In this paper, we review the past progress and recent activity of SQUID applications in Korea, with focus on biomagnetic measurements. key words: SQUID, magnetocardiography, magnetoencephalography, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance 1. Introduction Development of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) in Korea started from around 1988 at Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS). At that time, the main purpose of the development was for using the SQUID sensors in precision metrology of electromagnetic signals, like cryogenic current comparator in quantum Hall resistance standard, and biomagnetic application was the second application area. A clean room was built for Nb Josephson process at KRISS, which was used for fabricating both Nb DC-SQUIDs and Nb Josephson junction arrays for voltage standards. In 1991, a DC-SQUID planar gradiometer was fabricated and test for measuring magnetocardiogram signals in unshielded environment. From this time, the main stream of SQUID development at KRISS was directed for biomagnetic measurements. In the early 1990s, other research groups in Korea, LG Central Laboratory, Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, etc., started to develop SQUID technology, using high-temperature superconducting films [1], [2]. These private institutes had main interests on biomedical applications Manuscript received September 5, Manuscript revised November 30, The authors are with KRISS, 1 Doryong, Yuseong, Daejeon, , Republic of Korea. a) yhlee@kriss.re.kr DOI: /transele.E96.C.307 and partly on non-destructive evaluation. They succeeded in measuring magnetocardiography (MCG) signals using high- T c SQUID inside a compact shielding enclosure. However, commercial products were not released after their developments, and in around 2000, private institutes stopped research and development on high-temperature SQUIDs. Meanwhile, KRISS continued to develop SQUIDs, using both low-t c and high-t c SQUIDs for biomagnetic applications. Using high-t c SQUIDs, 16-channel MCG system was developed in But, poor stability of YBCO films made the reliable operation of the whole channels difficult. And reproducible fabrication of YBCO SQUIDs was a big task to increase the number of channels or the number of systems to be assembled. Therefore, the high-temperature SQUID research had to be limited to the area in which numberofsensorsisfew. In the area of low-t c SQUID, KRISS developed second-generation SQUID, double relaxation oscillation SQUID (DROS), and applied DROS sensors to multichannel MCG and magnetoencephalography (MEG) systems. Recently, KRISS had technology transfer of MCG system to a German company, Biomagnetik Park GmbH, and installed MCG systems successfully in two hospitals in Hamburg, Germany. And, practical MEG systems were developed, and MEG systems were installed in domestic and abroad hospital for brain researches. In the sections below, the technical progress on the development of MCG and MEG systems were described. And, recent research topics on low-field nuclear magnetic resonance, detection of weak current in transition-edge sensor, and detection of flux change in micro-scale superconducting ring were introduced. 2. Multichannel Magnetocardiography Systems 2.1 Compact Readout Electronics Though SQUIDs are sensitive magnetic sensors, the readout of SQUID output voltages using room-temperature electronics is not trivial work. Especially, in multichannel SQUID systems, the complexity of the electronics should be optimized in terms of its noise and cost. Straightforward method of simplifying SQUID readout electronics is to increase the flux-to-voltage transfer coefficient of SQUIDs so that direct readout of SQUID output voltage can be done using room-temperature DC preamplifier of modest input voltage Copyright c 2013 The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers

Among the SQUID schemes having higher flux-tovoltage transfers than standard DC-SQUIDs, KRISS developed double relaxation oscillation SQUID (DROS) sensors, and adopted them in several MCG and MEG systems. The DROS consists of a hysteretic DC SQUID (signal SQUID) and a hysteretic junction (reference junction) in series, and shunted by relaxation circuit of an inductor and a resistor. DROS works as a comparator of critical currents between the signal SQUID and the reference junction. Figure 1 shows the schematic drawing of the DROS. In typical DROSs, the flux-to-voltage transfers are about 1 mv/φ 0. When DC preamplifier made of SSM2210 transistors with input voltage noise of 1 nv/ Hz at 100 Hz was used, the equivalent flux noise of the preamplifier is about 1 μφ 0 / Hz at 100 Hz. In terms of flux noise power, preamplifier adds about 10% of the total flux noise power, meaning that the contribution of preamplifier to the total system noise is negligible in practical multichannel systems [3], [4]. Typically, the output of flux-locked loop (FLL) circuit are passed though the analog signal processing (ASP) circuit, which consists of high-pass filter, low-pass filter, notch filter and amplifier. This ASP circuits can distort phases of signals, especially when the signal frequency components are close to the cut-off frequencies of the filters. KRISS developed FLL circuits having digitization circuit in each FLL board, so that the digitized multichannel FLL outputs are measured directly by computer via fiber-optic cables. Figure 2 shows the SQUID measurement and control circuits. By removing ASP rack, consumption of electric power was reduced much. Planar gradiometers having both SQUID sensor and thinfilm pickup coil on the same wafer or on the same plane of the substrate (printed circuit board) have advantage of higher intrinsic balancing than axial gradiometers. 64- channel MCG systems having first-order planar gradiometers of baseline 40 mm were developed in KRISS, and were installed at 4 hospitals; Yonsei University Hospital (Seoul), Samsung Medical Center (Seoul), Kyung Hee University Hospital (Seoul), and National Taiwan University Hospital (Taipei). These planar gradiometer arrays measure magnetic field components tangential to the chest surface. Since tangential components have field peak just above the current source, sensor coverage area or dewar inner-bottom diameter can be reduced, resulting in reduced boil-off rate of cryogenic liquid. In addition, tangential-component measurement provides more spatial information in current distribution compared with vertical-component measurement. Thus, for localization of spatially-dense current distribution, tangential measurement can provide more accurate localization results [5]. However, possible disadvantage of planar gradiometers for multichannel systems is longer fabrication time for the thin-film pickup coils, which should be done using photolithographic process on Si-wafers. And, due to mismatch in thermal expansion (or contraction) coefficients between pickup coil (made on Si-wafer) and supporting substrate (usually made of fiber-glass reinforced plastic), generated cracks in the pickup coil. Thus, for reliable multichannel systems, thin-film pickup coils needed to be replaced by wire-wound axial gradiometers, unless reliable mounting method to eliminate cracks of thin-film pickup coils is developed. 2.3 Compact Axial Gradiometer Systems For reliable pickup coils in multichannel MCG systems, KRISS developed compact wire-wound axial gradiometers. In wire-wound pickup coils, superconductive connection is needed between pickup coil wires and input coil pads. Conventional axial gradiometers have screw blocks for mechanical connection between pickup coil and input coil. This bulky connection structure generates stray pickup area. To eliminate the stray pickup area, superconductive shielding enclosure is needed, which should be positioned at sufficiently large distance from the distal (compensation) coil of the gradiometer so as not to reduce its balancing factor. KRISS developed a simple superconductive connection method between pickup coil and input coil, where the ends of the pickup coil wire are connected directly into the input coil pads using ultrasonic bonding of annealed Nb wire. In addition to simple assembling process, the effects of this simple bonding structure are that 1) stray pickup area due to the connection structure is negligible, 2) superconducting shielding tube is not needed, 3) and SQUID chip can
3 LEE et al.: DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS OF SQUIDS IN KOREA 309 be put near the distal coil of the gradiometer. Due to the reduced distance between SQUID chip and distal coil, the liquid level to cool the whole gradiometer could be lower, resulting in longer refill interval of liquid He. In liquid He dewar, neck and bottom of the dewar are two main heat input routes. To reduce heat input from the dewar neck, the neck diameter was made smaller than the bottom diameter. The 64-channel sensor array was divided into 4 parts, each with 16 gradiometers, and each part was installed separately on the dewar bottom. In this assembly, mechanical support is not needed, so that mechanical vibration can be reduced [6]. 2.4 Magnetically Shielded Room Depending on the noise condition and MCG signals to be measured, optimum combination of magnetically shielded room (MSR) and pickup coil is needed. In urban sites, long-baseline first-order gradiometer inside a moderately shielded room is practical combination. Considering the high cost of Permalloy, it is necessary to reduce the amount of Permalloy used in the MSR. As the thickness of Permalloy plates decreases, its permeability increases. Thus, by overlapping thin (typically 0.35 mm) plates, the total weight of Permalloy could be reduced than using thick plates, typically 1 mm thick. 3. Transfer of MCG Technology 3.1 Key Feature of KRISS MCG System While keeping the high sensitivity of MCG systems, economic aspect of the systems is very important for both manufacturer and hospital. The MCG system KRISS developed has characteristics of high sensitivity (white noise level around 3 ft/ Hz at 100 Hz), compact flux-locked loop electronics by using DROS sensors, compact pickup coil structure by simplifying superconductive bonding structure, low boil-off rate of liquid He (about 3 L per day) while keeping the diameter of sensor array large enough, and light MSR by using higher-permeability thin Permalloy plates. 3.2 Technology Transfer to Biomagnetik Park GmbH In August 2010, KRISS made a contract with Biomagnetik Park GmbH (BMP), Germany, for licensing MCG technology. And KRISS installed two MCG systems in Hamburg hospitals, in September of 2011 and April of 2012, respectively. Figure 3 shows a picture of the MCG measurement using the system installed at Asklepios Klinik Hamburg Harburg, Hamburg. For the medical device, BMP got the Conformite Europeenne (CE) certificate in January of Using the first system installed in Asklepios Klinik Hamburg Harburg, about 1,000 patients were measured for stress-mcg test, and the results showed very high diagnostic accuracy in diagnosing ischemic heart disease; sensitivity of about 98% and specificity of over 90%. Fig. 3 MCG installed at Asklepios Klink Hamburg Hanburg, Germany. 3.3 High Temperature SQUIDs for MCG SQUID magnetometers based on high-temperature YBCO thin film on bi-crystal SrTiO 3 substrates were fabricated and applied for small-scale multichannel MCG system. The white noise level of these magnetometers are in the range of ft/ Hz at white. This sensitivity allows measurements of MCG signals with acceptable signal-to-noise level, if averaging of repetitive signals is done. 16-channel MCG system was fabricated, but the poor reliability of SQUIDs made it difficult to operate all the SQUIDs working for several days. Thus, fewer SQUID, seems more practical to reduce the work load for sensor fabrication and to provide reliable operation. For example, in an MCG system having 6 SQUIDs in a row, the patient bed was moved 6 times to make 6 6 measuring sites, which is just sufficient to cover the major MCG information [7]. In addition, a small and portable single-channel MCG system with table-top shielding box was developed. Since this single-channel system has short SQUID-to- sample separation, about 2 mm, higher signal amplitude can be obtained even for mice. Using this system, MCG measurements on rats and mice were done [7], [8]. 4. Multichannel Magnetoencephalography Systems 4.1 Whole-Head MEG System Several MEG systems were developed in KRISS, with several types of magnetic sensors, and several cooling methods. Whole-head MEG systems having integrated magnetometers of 150 or 250 channels were fabricated. But, magnetometer system needs thick magnetically shielded room, and practical applications in urban environment were limited. Axial gradiometers with 50-mm baseline seem suitable

Two axial gradiometer systems were installed in 2 hospitals (Seoul and Taipei) for brain research [10], [11]. These magnetometer systems and first-order axial gradiometer systems were cooled directly with liquid He. Figure 4 shows the whole picture of the MEG system installed at Yonsei University Hospital, Seoul. Wire-wound magnetometers installed in the vacuum space, so called sensor-in-vacuum, was developed and tested to have reduced boil-off rate of liquid He. 5. Other SQUID Applications 5.1 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance at Ultra-Low Field Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) at micro tesla magnetic field with SQUID as the signal detector is under development at KRISS. The main goal of the development is to image the direct neural current. Though the imaging field intensity of LF-NMR is much weaker than the conventional NMRs, the pre-polarization field for LF-NMR is not so weak, at least several tens of mt is needed. To enhance the NMR signals with lower pre-polarization field, dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) method is applied [12]. Preliminary application of the LF-NMR to detect NMR signals from food is under way. 5.2 Micro-Calorimeter for Radiation Detection Transition-edge sensor or metallic magnetic calorimeter with SQUID as the current sensor was developed at KRISS for radiation detection from x-ray to γ-ray. Absorbed particle energy is converted into thermal energy of a gold absorber, and its temperature rise was detected using SQUID, which shows much better energy resolution than conventional Si-based detectors [13]. 5.3 Measurement of Ultra-Small Force Using SQUID Micro-bridge SQUID fabricated at the end of a cantilever chip was developed to detect very weak force or weight. KRISS developed the flux-quantum force device capable of detecting 10 5 g, and generating force of about 10 pn. This technology could be used for future quantum force standard In Korea, the major development and applications of SQUIDs were directed to biomagnetic measurements, using mainly low-t c SQUIDs. Multichannel MCG systems were shown to have good technical competitiveness, and the MCG technology was transferred to BMP in Germany. In MEG technology, some optimization of MEG systems to improve practicality was done. But, big improvement seems remain which could eliminate the weekly refill of liquid He and reduce the weight of the MSR. For the area of high-t c SQUIDs, much effort was given, but commercial applications were not successful yet, due to limited yield of SQUID fabrication and lack of reliability of the SQUIDs. And some few-channel systems for small-animal MCG or biological study are going on. The LF-NMR technology is under development, and its practical application study is under way.
