  • Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Elemental Analysis Syztem (EAS) were applied to the investiga-tion of the Characteristics and sources of wintertime atmospheric aerosols in Seoul. Atmospheric aerosols were collected by both fine and coarse fractions using a two-stage filter pack sampler from Kon-Kuk university during the winter season of 1999. PIXE was applied to the analysis of the middle and heavy elements with atomic numbers greater than 14(Si) and EAS was applied to the measurement of the light elements such as H, C and N. The fact that 64.2% of mass of fine particles in Seoul consists of the light elements (N, C , and H) suggests that the measurement of light elements is extremely important. The average mass concentration is Seoul was 38.6$\mu\textrm{g}$m(sup)-3. Elements such as Ca, Fe, Mg, and Ti appeared to have very low Fine/Coarse ratios(0.1∼0.4), whereas che-mical components related to anthropogenic sources such as Br, V, Pb, and Zn were observed to accumulate in the fine fraction. In the Asian Dust Storm(ADS) event, the concentation of soil components increased dramatically. Reconstruction of the fine mass concentrations estimated by a newly revised simple model was fairly in good agreement with the measured ones. Source identification was attempted using the enrichment factor and Pearsons coefficient of correlation. The typical elements derived from each source could be classified by this method.

  • Multi-layer ceramic capacitors as decoupling capacitor were fabricated by dielectric composition with a high dielectric constant. The fabricated decoupling capacitors were embedded in the PCB of the 10G RF transceiver module and evaluated for the characteristics of electrical noise by the level of AC input voltage. In order to further improve the electrical properties of the $BaTiO_3$ based composite, glass frit, MgO, $Y_2O_3$, $Mn_3O$, $V_2O_5$, $BaCO_3$, $SiO_2$, and $Al_2O_3$ were used as additives. The electrical properties of the composites were determined by various amounts of additives and optimum sintering temperature. As a result of the optimized composite, it was possible to obtain a density of $5.77g/cm^3$, a dielectric constant of 1994, and an insulation resistance of $2.91{\times}10^{12}{\Omega}$ at an additive content of 5wt% and a sintering temperature of $1250^{\circ}C$. After forming a $2.5{\mu}m$ green sheet using the doctor blade method, a total of 77 layers were laminated and sintered at $1180^{\circ}C$. A decoupling capacitor with a size of $0.6mm(W){\times}0.3mm(L){\times}0.3mm(T)$ (width, length and thickness, respectively) and a capacitance of 100 nF was embedded using a PCB process for the 10G RF Transceiver modules. In the range of AC input voltage 400mmV @ 500kHz to 2200mV @ 900kHz, the embedded 10G RF Transceiver modules evaluated that it has better electrical performance than the non-embedded modules.

  • In the era of 20 nm scaled semiconductor volume manufacturing, Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering Education is presented in this paper. The purpose of microelectronic engineering education is to educate engineers to work in the semiconductor industry; it is therefore should be considered even before than technology development. Three Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering related courses are introduced, and how undergraduate students acquired hands-on experience on Microelectronics fabrication and manufacturing. Conventionally employed wire bonding was recognized as not only an additional parasitic source in high-frequency mobile applications due to the increased inductance caused from the wiring loop, but also a huddle for minimizing IC packaging footprint. To alleviate the concerns, chip bumping technologies such as flip chip bumping and pillar bumping have been suggested as promising chip assembly methods to provide high-density interconnects and lower signal propagation delay [1,2]. Aluminum as metal interconnecting material over the decades in integrated circuits (ICs) manufacturing has been rapidly replaced with copper in majority IC products. A single copper metal layer with various test patterns of lines and vias and $400{\mu}m$ by $400{\mu}m$ interconnected pads are formed. Mask M1 allows metal interconnection patterns on 4" wafers with AZ1512 positive tone photoresist, and Cu/TiN/Ti layers are wet etched in two steps. We employed WPR, a thick patternable negative photoresist, manufactured by JSR Corp., which is specifically developed as dielectric material for multi- chip packaging (MCP) and package-on-package (PoP). Spin-coating at 1,000 rpm, i-line UV exposure, and 1 hour curing at $110^{\circ}C$ allows about $25{\mu}m$ thick passivation layer before performing wafer level soldering. Conventional Si3N4 passivation between Cu and WPR layer using plasma CVD can be an optional. To practice the board level flip chip assembly, individual students draw their own fan-outs of 40 rectangle pads using Eagle CAD, a free PCB artwork EDA. Individuals then transfer the test circuitry on a blank CCFL board followed by Cu etching and solder mask processes. Negative dry film resist (DFR), Accimage$^{(R)}$, manufactured by Kolon Industries, Inc., was used for solder resist for ball grid array (BGA). We demonstrated how Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering education has been performed by presenting brief intermediate by-product from undergraduate and graduate students. Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering, once again, is to educating engineers to actively work in the area of semiconductor manufacturing. Through one semester senior level hands-on laboratory course, participating students will have clearer understanding on microelectronics manufacturing and realized the importance of manufacturing yield in practice.

  • Geochemical characteristics of environmental toxic elements at the Narim mine area were investigated on the basis of major, minor, rare earth element geochemistry and mineralogy. Ratios of $Al_2O_3/Na_2O$ and $K_2O/Na_2O$ in soils and sediments range from 11.57 to 22.21 and from 1.86 to 3.93, and are partly negative and positive correlation against $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ (3.41 to 4.78), respectively. These suggested that sediment source of host granitic gneiss could be due to rocks of high grade metamorphism originated by sedimentary rocks. Characteristics of some trace and rare earth elements of V/Ni (0.33 to 1.95), Ni/Co (2.00 to 6.50), Zr/Hf (11.27 to 53.10), La/Ce (0.44 to 0.55), Th/Yb (4.07 to 7.14), La/Th (2.35 to 3.93), $La_N/Yb_N$ (6.58 to 13.67), Co/Th (0.63 to 2.68), La/Sc (3.29 to 5.94) and Sc/Th (0.49 to 1.00) are revealed a narrow range and homogeneous compositions may be explained by simple source lithology. Major elements in all samples are enriched $Al_2O_3$, MgO, $TiO_2$ and LOI, especially $Fe_2O_3$ (mean=7.36 wt.%) in sediments than the composition of host granitic gneiss. The average enrichment indices of major and rare earth elements from the mining drainage are 2.05 and 2.91 of the sediments and are 2.02 and 2.60 of the soils, normalizing by composition of host granitic gneiss, respectively. Average composition (ppm) of minor and/or environmental toxic elements in sediments and soils are Ag=14 and 1, As=199 and 14, Cd=22 and 1, Cu=215 and 42, Pb=1770 and 65, Sb=18 and 3, Zn=3333 and 170, respectively, and extremely high concentrations are found in the subsurface sediments near the ore dump. Environmental toxic elements were strongly enriched in all samples, especially As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sb and Zn. The level of enrichment was very severe in mining drainage sediments, while it was not so great in the soils. Based on the EPA value, enrichment index of toxic elements is 8.63 of mining drainage sediments and 0.54 of soils on the mining drainage. Mineral composition of soils and sediments near the mining area were partly variable being composed of quartz, mica, feldspar, amphibole, chlorite and clay minerals. From the gravity separated mineralogy, soils and sediments are composed of some pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, goethite and various hydroxide minerals.

  • The prediction of Jominy hardness curves and the effect of alloying elements on the hardenability of boron steels (19 different steels) are investigated using multiple regression analysis. To evaluate the hardenability of boron steels, Jominy end quenching tests are performed. Regardless of the alloy type, lath martensite structure is observed at the quenching end, and ferrite and pearlite structures are detected in the core. Some bainite microstructure also appears in areas where hardness is sharply reduced. Through multiple regression analysis method, the average multiplying factor (regression coefficient) for each alloying element is derived. As a result, B is found to be 6308.6, C is 71.5, Si is 59.4, Mn is 25.5, Ti is 13.8, and Cr is 24.5. The valid concentration ranges of the main alloying elements are 19 ppm < B < 28 ppm, 0.17 < C < 0.27 wt%, 0.19 < Si < 0.30 wt%, 0.75 < Mn < 1.15 wt%, 0.15 < Cr < 0.82 wt%, and 3 < N < 7 ppm. It is possible to predict changes of hardenability and hardness curves based on the above method. In the validation results of the multiple regression analysis, it is confirmed that the measured hardness values are within the error range of the predicted curves, regardless of alloy type.

  • Employing statistical design of experiments, the difference in doping behaviors of rare-earth ions and their effects on the dielectric property and microstructure of $BaTiO_3$-MgO-$MnO_2$-($Ba_{0.4}Ca_{0.6}$) $SiO_3-Re_2O_3$ (Re = $Y_2O_3$, $Er_2O_3$) system were investigated. Through the statistical analysis we have found that the amount of $Re_2O_3$ are significantly affecting on the dielectric properties. The $Re_2O_3$ improved the dielectric constant, dielectric loss and R*C constant, so the appropriate contents of $Y_2O_3$ and $Er_2O_3$ were 0.8 ~ 1.2 mol% and 0.8 ~ 1.3 mol%, respectively. The MLCC(mutilayer chip capacitor) with $2.0{\times}1.2{\times}1.2mm$ size and 475 nF was also suited for X7R with the above composition. It showed that the dielectric constant and RC constant were 2,839 and 3,675 ${\Omega}F$, respectively in the sintering condition at $1250^{\circ}C$ in $Po_2$ $10^{-7}$ Mpa.

  • Size -segregated measurements of aerosol composition using 8-stage DRUM impactor are used to determine the transport of natural and anthropogenic aerosols at Gosan site from 29 March to 30 May in 2002. Separation of ambient aerosols by DRUM impactor offers many Advantages over other standard filtration techniques. Some of the most important advantages are the ability to segregate into details by particle tire, to better preserve chemical integrity since the air stream doesn't pars through the deposit, to collect samples as a function of time, and to have a wide variety of impaction surfaces available to match analytical needs. Although the transport of Yellow sand is a well-known phenomenon in springtime, the result of measurement shows that not only soil dust but also anthropogenic aerosols, including sulfur, enriched trace metals such as Pb, Ni, Zn. Cu, Cr, As, Se, Br, are transported to Gosan in springtime. This study combines the size- and time-resolved aerosol composition measurements with isentropic, backward air-mass trajectories in order to identify some potential source regions of anthropogenic aerosols. As a result, during the NYS period, the average concentration of PM$_{10}$ was 46$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥, Si, Al. S, Fe, Cl, K, Ca were higher than 1,000 ng/㎥ and Ti was about 100 ng/㎥. The concentrations of Zn, Mn, Cu. Pb, Br, Rb, V, Cr, Ni. At, Se ranged between 1 and 70 ng/㎥. More than 50% typical soil elements, tuck as Al, Si, Fe, Cd. Ti, Cr, Cu, Br. were distributed in a coarse particle range(5.0-12${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). In other hand, anthropogenic pollutants, luck as S, N, Vi, were mainly distributed in a fine particle range (0.09-0.56${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). During the YS period, PM$_{10}$ increased about 8 times than NYS period, and main soil elements, such as Al, Si, S, K, V, Mn, Fe also doubled in coarse particle range (1.15-12${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). But Zn, As, Pb, Cu and Se, which distributed in the time aerosols (0.09-0.56${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$), were on the same level with or decreased than NYS period. Finally. except the YS Period, coarse particles (2.5-12${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) are inferred to be influenced by soil, coal combustion, waste incineration, ferrous and nonferrous sources through similar pathways with Yellow Sand. But fine particles have different sources, such as coal combustion, gasoline vehicle, biomass burning, oil or coal combustion, nonferrous and ferrous metal sources, which are transported from China, Korea peninsula and local sources.ces.

  • 서론: 저 전력 소모를 필요로 하는 무선 센서 네트워크 관련 기술의 급격한 발달과 함께 자체 전력 수급을 위한 진동 에너지 수확 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 다양한 구조와 소재를 압전 외팔보에 적용하여 제안하고 있다. 그 중에서도 진동 기반의 에너지 수확 소자는 주변 환경에서 쉽게 진동을 얻을 수 있고, 높은 에너지 밀도와 제작 방법이 간단하다는 장점을 가지고 있어 많은 분야에 응용 및 적용 가능하다. 기존 연구에서는 2차원적으로 진동 에너지 수확을 위한 휜 구조의 압전 외팔보를 제안 하였다. 휜 구조를 갖는 압전 외팔보는 각각의 짧은 두 개의 평평한 외팔보가 일렬로 연결된 것으로 볼 수 있다. 하나의 짧고 평평한 외팔보는 진동이 가해지면 접선 방향으로 응력이 생겨 최대 휨 모멘텀을 갖게 된다. 그러므로 휜 구조를 갖는 외팔보는 진동이 인가됨에 따라 길이 방향과 수직 방향으로 진동한다. 하지만, 이 구조는 수평 방향으로 가해지는 진동에 대한 에너지를 수확하기에는 한계점을 가진다. 즉, 3축 방향에서 임의의 방향에서 진동 에너지를 수확하기는 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 3축 방향에서 에너지를 효율적으로 수확할 수 있도록 헤어-셀 구조의 압전 외팔보 에너지 수확소자를 제안한다. 제안된 소자는 길이 방향과 수직 방향뿐만 아니라 수평 방향으로도 진동하여 임의의 방향에서 진동 에너지를 수확할 수 있다. 구성 및 공정: 제안하는 소자는 3축 방향에서 임의의 진동을 수확하기 위해서 길이를 길게 늘이고 길이 방향을 따라 휘어지는 구조의 헤어-셀 구조로 제작하였다. 외팔보의 구조는 외팔보의 폭 대비 길이의 비가 충분히 클 때, 추가적인 자유도를 얻을 수 있다. 그러므로 헤어-셀 구조의 에너지 수확 소자는 기본적인 길이 방향, 수직방향 그리고 수평방향에 더불어 추가적으로 뒤틀리는 방향을 통해서 3차원적으로 임의의 주변 진동 에너지를 수확하여 전기적인 에너지로 생성시킬 수 있다. 제작된 소자는 높은 종횡비를 갖는 무게 추($500{\times}15{\times}22{\mu}m3$)와 길이 방향으로 길게 휜 압전 외팔보($1000{\times}15{\times}1.7{\mu}m3$)로 구성되어있다. 공정 과정은 다음과 같다. 먼저, 실리콘 웨이퍼 위에 탄성층을 형성하기 위해 LPCVD SiNx를 $0.8{\mu}m$와 LTO $0.2{\mu}m$를 증착 후, 각각 $0.03{\mu}m$$0.12{\mu}m$의 두께를 갖는 Ti와 Pt을 하부 전극으로 스퍼터링한다. 그리고 Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 박막을 $0.35{\mu}m$ 두께로 졸겔법을 이용하여 증착하고 상부 Pt층을 두께 $0.1{\mu}m$로 순차적으로 스퍼터링하여 형성한다. 상/하부 전극은 ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma)를 이용해 건식 식각으로 패턴을 형성한다. PZT 층과 무게 추 사이의 보호막을 씌우기 위해 $0.2{\mu}m$의 Si3N4 박막이 PECVD 공정법으로 증착되고, RIE로 패턴을 형성된다. Ti/Au ($0.03/0.35{\mu}m$)이 E-beam으로 증착되고 lift-off를 통해서 패턴을 형성함으로써 전극 본딩을 위한 패드를 만든다. 초반에 형성한 실리콘 웨이퍼 위의 SiNx/LTO 층은 RIE로 외팔보 구조를 형성한다. 이후에 진행될 도금 공정을 위해서 희생층으로는 감광액이 사용되고, 씨드층으로는 Ti/Cu ($0.03/0.15{\mu}m$) 박막이 스퍼터링 된다. 도금 형성층을 위해 감광액을 패턴화하고, Ni0.8Fe0.2 ($22{\mu}m$)층으로 도금함으로써 외팔보 끝에 무게 추를 만든다. 마지막으로, 압전 외팔보 소자는 XeF2 식각법을 통해 제작된다. 제작된 소자는 소자의 여러 층 사이의 고유한 응력 차에 의해 휨 변형이 생긴다. 실험 방법 및 측정 결과: 제작된 소자의 성능을 확인하기 위하여 일정한 가속도 50 m/s2로 3축 방향에 따라 입력 주파수를 변화시키면서 출력 전압을 측정하였다. 먼저, 소자의 기본적인 공진 주파수를 얻기 위하여 수직 방향으로 진동을 인가하여 주파수를 변화시켰다. 그 때에 공진 주파수는 116 Hz를 가지며, 최대 출력 전압은 15 mV로 측정되었다. 3축 방향에서 진동 에너지 수확이 가능하다는 것을 확인하기 위하여 제작된 소자를 길이 방향과 수평 방향으로 가진기에 장착한 후, 기본 공진 주파수에서의 출력 전압을 측정하였다. 진동이 길이방향으로 가해졌을 때에는 33 mV, 수평방향으로 진동이 인가되는 경우에는 10 mV의 최대 출력 전압을 갖는다. 제안하는 소자가 수 mV의 적은 전압은 출력해내더라도 소자는 진동이 인가되는 각도에 영향 받지 않고, 3축 방향에서 진동 에너지를 수확하여 전기에너지로 얻을 수 있다. 결론: 제안된 소자는 3축 방향에서 진동 에너지를 수확할 수 있는 에너지 수확 소자를 제안하였다. 외팔보의 구조를 헤어-셀 구조로 길고 휘어지게 제작함으로써 기본적인 길이 방향, 수직방향 그리고 수평방향에 더불어 추가적으로 뒤틀리는 방향에서 출력 전압을 얻을 수 있다. 미소 전력원으로 실용적인 사용을 위해서 무게추가 더 무거워지고, PZT 박막이 더 두꺼워진다면 소자의 성능이 향상되어 높은 출력 전압을 얻을 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

  • Bis(silyl)alkylbenzenes such as bis(1-sila-sec-butyl)benzene (1) and 2-phenyl-1,3-disilapropane (2) were synthesized in high yields by the reduction of the corresponding chlorosilanes with $LiAlH_4$ in diethyl ether. The dehydrocoupling of 1 and 2 was performed using group IV metallocene complexes generated in situ from $Cp_2MCl_2$/Red-Al and $Cp_2MCl_2$/n-BuLi (M = Ti, Hf), producing two phases of polymers. The TGA residue yields of the insoluble polymers were in the range of 64-74%. The molecular weights of the soluble polymers produced ranged from 700 to 5000 ($M_w$ vs polystyrene using GPC) and from 500 to 900 ($M_w$ vs polystyrene using GPC). The dehydropolymerization of 1 and 2 seemed to initially produce a low-molecular-weight polymer, which then underwent an extensive cross-linking reaction of backbone Si-H bonds, leading to an insoluble network polymer.
