Evaporation and combustion characteristics of fuel droplet with carbon nanoparticle were investigated in a rapid compression machine(RCM). RCM is an experimental equipment to simulate one compression stroke of reciprocating engine. Nitrogen was charged into reaction chamber for evaporation experiment, while oxygen was charged for combustion experiment. N990 carbon black and n-heptane were used to synthesize the carbon nanofluids. Surfactant, span80, was used to make synthesis easier. The droplet pictures were taken using a high speed camera with 500 frames per second. Thermocouple, of which tip is $50{\mu}m$, was used not only to measure transient bulk temperature, but also to suspend the droplet. Reaction chamber temperature was calculated from pressure data. The evaporation rate of nanofluids was improved compared to pure fuel. The ignition delay was promoted due to the nanoparticle, but the burning rate was decreased.

IT 산업 및 반도체 산업이 발전함에 따라 초소형, 고집적화 시스템의 요구에 대응하기 위해서 고해상도 및 고정밀의 패턴 구현에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 연구는 각종 산업제품의 PCB(Printed Circuit Board) 및 디스플레이 장치인 PDP(Plasma Display Panel), LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) 등에 적용되어 널리 응용되고 있다. 현재 널리 사용되는 인쇄 회로 기판은 마스킹 후 선택적 에칭 방식을 적용하여 금속 배선을 형성하는 방식을 적용하고 있다. 이러한 방식은 설계가 변경될 경우 마스크를 다시 제작해야 하는 번거로움이 있어 설계 변경이 용이하지 않고 더욱 길어진 생산시간의 증가로 인하여 생산성 및 집적도가 떨어지게 된다. 따라서 최근에는 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위한 방안이 여러 가지 측면에서 시도되고 있으며, 그 중에서도 Inkjet Printing 기술에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Inkjet Printing 방식을 적용하여 금속 배선을 형성하고 선폭과 두께의 오차를 줄여 배선의 Tolerance 를 개선할 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다. Inkjet Printing 방식을 이용한 기존의 금속 배선 형성은 고해상도의 DPI(Dot Per Inch)에서 잉크 액적이 뭉치는 Bulge 현상이 발생되어 원하는 형상 및 배선의 폭을 구현하는데 어려움이 있었다. Bulge 현상은 배선의 불균일성을 야기할 뿐만 아니라 근접한 배선의 간섭에도 영향을 미처 금속 배선의 기능을 할 수 없는 단점을 발생시킨다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 Bulge 현상을 줄이고 배선간의 간섭을 방지하여 원하는 배선을 용이하게 형성할 수 있는 순차적 인쇄 방식을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 노즐직경 35um 의 Inkjet Head 와 나노 Ag 입자 잉크를 사용하여 Glass 표면 위에 배선을 형성하고 배선의 폭과 두께를 측정하였다. 또한 순차적 인쇄 방식을 적용하여 700DPI 이상의 고해상도에서 나타날 수 있는 Bulge 현상이 감소하였음을 관찰하였으며 금속 배선의 Tolerance를 10%내외로 유지할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The line width of circuits in semiconductor devices continues to decrease down to a few nanometers. Since nanoparticles attached to the patterned wafer surface may cause malfunction of the devices, it is crucial to remove the contaminant nanoparticles. Physical cleaning that utilizes momentum of liquid for detaching solid nanoparticles has recently been tested in place of the conventional chemical method. Dropwise impaction has been employed to increase the removal efficiency with expectation of more efficient momentum exchange. To date, most of relevant studies have been focused on drop spreading behavior on a horizontal surface in terms of maximum spreading diameters and average spreading velocity of drop. More important is the local liquid velocity at the position of nanoparticle, very near the surface, rather than the vertical average value. In addition, there are very scarce existing studies dealing with microdroplet impaction that may be desirable for minimizing pattern demage of the wafer. In this study, we investigated the local velocity distribution in spreading liquid film under various impaction conditions through the CFD simulation. Combining the numerical results with the particle removal model, we estimated an effective cleaning diameter (ECD), which is a measure of the particle removal capacity of a single drop, and presented the predicted ECD data as a function of droplet's velocity and diameter particularly when the droplets are microns in diameter.

Ceramic ink-jet printing technology in art tiles, decorated tablewares and other porcelain products has many advantages of fast and precision printing of various images with high efficiency and low cost. For the application to ink-jet printing, ceramic ink requires a stable dispersibility with nano-sized pigments. In this paper, characteristics of pink-red aqueous ceramic ink for ink-jet printing was demonstrated. $CaCr_{0.1}Sn_{0.8}SiO_5$ pigment was synthesized using solid state reaction and deagglomerated using attrition milling. The aqueous ceramic ink contains 10 wt% of the obtained $CaCr_{0.1}Sn_{0.8}SiO_5$ nanopigment with 0.4 wt% of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a dispersion agent. Viscosity of $CaCr_{0.1}Sn_{0.8}SiO_5$ aqueous ceramic ink was adjusted using 0.18 wt% of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for a suitable jetting from the nozzle. The prepared pink-red ceramic ink showed a good jetting property with formation of a single sphere-shaped droplet after $180{\mu}s$ without a tail and satellite droplet.

In this study, aqueous/semi-aqueous cleaning agents which consist of organic solvent, surfactant, cosurfactant, and water were developed by changing formulation parameters such as organic solvent type and contents, surfactant type and contents, and cosurfactant/surfactant(A/S) ratio, etc.. And physical properties and flux removal of the formulated cleaning agents have been evaluated. Also, the performance of oil-water separation from the rinse water contaminated during the cleaning process was evaluated for its recycling. The formulated cleaning agents in this work expected to have good penetration because of their low viscosity and low surface tension values of 30.2~32.5 dyne/cm. The flux removal with the terpene type cleaning agent was higher than that with hydrocarbon type cleaning agent and two commercial products (CPA(commercial product A), CPB(commercial product B)). And the performance of oil-water separation by gravity settling from the rinse water contaminated with formulated cleaning agent and soils was shown to be very good. The cleaning agents developed in this work were applied to surface mounting technology(SMT) cleaning process for manufacturing electronic parts at L electronic company. As a result, the newly developed cleaning agents showed two times better cleaning speed for removal of solder cream than the conventional ond containing ethanol and IPA(isopropyl alcohol). In addition, malodor and VOC problems generated by the previous organic cleaning agents have been solved in the manufacturing field through introduction of the non-volatile and environmental-friendly cleaning agents to the field.
