In this study, the flow characteristics of a FPN (Fountain Pen Nano-Lithography) using active membrane pumping are investigated. The FPN has integrated chamber, micro channel, and high capacity reservoir for continuous ink feed. The most important aspect in this probe provided control of fluid injection using active membrane pumping in chamber. The flow rates in channel by capillary force are theoretically analyzed, including the control of the mass flow rates by the deflection of the membrane. The above results are compared with the numerical simulations that calculated by commercial code, FLUENT. The velocity of the fluid in micro channel shows linear behaviors. And the mass flows are proportional to the second order function of the pumping pressure that is imposed to the membrane.

Nano fountain-pen is a novel device to make the constant patterning in micro process using new designed probe. Fountain-pen nanolithography (FPN) is applied for constant supply of liquid in conjunction of patterns and surface variation in the micro process. In this study, nuo fountain-pen is composed with reservoir, micro channels, tip and scondary chamber. Instead of traditional method only using capillary force, liquid can be definitely and exactly injected with membrane pumping by the repulse force of tip. It is dfficult to perform experiments in the micro range so that we carried out a numerical analysis for internal flow, using a commercial code, FlUENT, The velocity, pressure and flow rate are obtained under laminar, unsteady, three-dimensional incompressible flow with no-slip condition, and results are graphically described.

$\textrm{WO}_3$ semiconductive film, which is known to have a sensitivity on $\textrm{NO}_X$ gas was prepared on 8YSZ (8% Yttria stabilized $\textrm{ZrO}_2$) ionic conductor substrate that has oxygen ion pumping effect. Microstructure and electrical properity, especially $\textrm{NO}_X$ sensitivity as a function of DC voltage applied to 8YSZ substrate was examined. When the $\textrm{WO}_3$ film was annealed, it showed amorphous structure, while crystallization was occurred at $600^{\circ}$C revealing orthorhombic phase of $\textrm{WO}_3$. As the annealing temperature increases, (111) and (001) peaks of $\textrm{WO}_3$ film was enhanced. At $400^{\circ}C$ when DC voltage was applied, comparing with no DC bias, more stable and large response characteristics was showed, and the best sensitivity was observed at 2V. Recovery characteristics of NO gas was much better that that of $\textrm{NO}_2$ gas.

This study has been conducted to investigate pumping characteristics of diffuser/nozzle based piezoelectric micropumps. The micropumps include a piezo disk (an actuator), a chamber and a set of diffuser and nozzle. Flow in the current micropumps is controlled by a set of diffuser and nozzle, not by a nap valve. The diffuser/nozzle based micropumps are more reliable in operation and are easier in manufacturing than the flap valve based micropumps. The flow rates of the piezoelectric micropumps have been closely analyzed with a numerical calculation. It has been found that the positions of the inlet and outlet of the micropump can influence the performance of the diffuser/nozzle based piezoelectric micropumps. This study may provide fundamental understanding for the design and analysis of the piezoelectric micropumps.

This study has been conducted to investigate the pumping characteristics of diffuser-nozzle based thermopneumatic micropumps with different input voltages and frequencies. In this study, the displacements of the membrane have been obtained changing the input voltage and frequency in load-free state because it is very difficult to measure the displacement of the membrane in an actual load state. It has been found that the amplitude of the membrane displacement increases as the input voltage increases. The pressure head of the thermopneumatic micropump increases almost linearly over some range of the input voltage and decreases almost linearly as the frequency increases. Also, the results show that the thermopneumatic micropump can pump the fluid over a certain input voltage. This study can be utilized as basic data for design and evaluation of thermopneumatic micropumps.

한TFT-LCD, Solar cell, 반도체 등에 사용되는 Si 박막은 주로 PECVD로 형성한다. 이 때 사용되는 원료 가스로 $SiH_4$가 있으며 대개 $H_2$로 희석해서 사용한다. 저온 증착의 경우 전자 충돌 해리과정을 이용하여 증착이 이루어지며 이 때 중간 생성물로 $SiH_3$, $SiH_2$와 고차유도체($Si_xH_y$)가 생성된다. 고밀도 플라즈마를 이용하는 경우에는 이들의 이온(양, 음)의 비율도 막질 형성에 중요한 요소가 된다. 본 발표에서는 안테나가 외부 및 내부에 있는 경우에 대해서 모델링하였으며 해리된 유도체의 비율은 $SiH_3$ > $SiH_2$의 순서였고 가스 조성비(수소 희석비), U-type 내장형 안테나와 기판 사이의 거리, 챔버 내의 펌핑 포트의 위치 등에 의한 차이가 플라즈마 온도 및 밀도의 균일도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 수치 모델상의 가장 중요한 변수의 하나인 이온, 라디칼의 표면 재결합 상수는 문헌에서 보고된 값을 구하기 어려운 경우에는 가장 실제와 근접한 경향이 나타나는 값을 사용하였다. 이 부분은 분자 동력학 등의 기법을 이용하여 보다 상세한 데이터를 만들어 낼 수 있는 방법의 적용이 필요하다. 기본적인 $SiH_4$의 화학 반응식은 이원기[1]등의 데이터를 이용하였다. 계산 결과 중의 특이한 점의 하나는 고차 유도체인 $Si_2H_4$의 경우 중성보다 오히려 양이온의 밀도가 1 order이상 높았다. 내장형 Y-type 안테나의 경우 전력 흡수 밀도가 $10^7\;W/m^3$ 수준으로 높은 영역이 안테나 주변으로 나타났으며 안테나와 기판 사이의 거리와 압력에 따라서 기판에서의 균일도가 결정 되었다.
