PDP rib is one of the important parts of manufacturing process and the sintering degree of rib plays an important role to prevent some problems such as cross talk. Nowadays, the screen-printing method, which is a low price and high production, is used to make a rib. However, it is hard to judge and value the sintering ratio of sintered body itself. In this study, we measured the sintering degree by the dielectric breakdown of pores with the potentiostat. We conformed that this has similar tendency to density of sintered samples and an error being expected by open and closed pores was inspected by change of the microstructure to scanning electron microscope. This result showed that the sintering degree of PDP rib could be analyzed into the electro-chemical method.

Redox complexes to transport electrodes from biomaterial to electrodes are very important part in commercial biosensor industry. A novel osmium redox complex was synthesized by the coordinating pyridine group with osmium metal. A novel osmium complex is described as $[Os(dme-bpy)_2(ap-im)Cl]^{+/2+}$. We have been studied the electrochemical characteristics of this osmium complex with electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperommetry. In order to immobilize osmium redox complexes on the electrode, we deposited gold nano-particles on screen printed carbon electrode(SPE). The electrical signal converts the osmium redox films into an electrocatalyst for glucose oxidation. The catalytic currents were monitored that the catalytic currents were linearly increased from 1 mM to 5 mM concentrations of glucose.

A coprecipitation method was used for preparing Ca and Pt doped $SnO_{2}$-based material. Crystallite size and specific surface area were investigated by TEM, XRD and BET analysis. $SnO_{2}(Ca)/Pt$ based thick film devices were prepared by a screen printing technique for hydrocarbon gas detecting. Then the electrical and sensing characteristics of devices were investigated. As Ca and Pt addition, the crystal growth of $SnO_{2}$ was suppressed during calcining and sintering, and the sensitivity of $SnO_{2}(Ca)/Pt$ thick film to gas was enhanced. Also any difference in the sensing properties has to be attributed to the Pt and Au electrode. For the 2000 ppm $CH_{4}$, the sensitivity of $SnO_{2}(Ca)/Pt$ thick film devices were about 83% at an operating temperature of $400^{\circ}C$.

The thick film type sensor having Pt/Na Super Ionic Conductor(NASICON) solid electrolyte/Pt/$Na_2$$SO_4$/Pt catalyst system for $SO_2$gas was fabricated by screen-print method. The phase of Na Super Ionic Conductor solid electrolyte sintered at different temperature of 1050, 1150,$ 1250^{\circ}C$ and for different time of 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 hr were investigated by XRD. The Electromotive Force variation of the sensor with $SO_2$concentrations and operating temperatures were investigated. The major phase of Na Super Ionic Conductor film sintered at 115$0^{\circ}C$ for 3.5 hr was sodium zirconium silicon phosphate($Na_3$Zr$_2$$Si_2$PO$_{12}$). The Nernst's slope of Na Super Ionic Conductor sensor for $SO_2$gas with the variation of concentration from 10 to 100 ppm was 167.14 ㎷/decade at the operating temperature of $500 ^{\circ}C$. The increase of oxygen partial pressure was not affected to the variation of Nernst's slope.e.

Lateral 구조를 갖는 탄소나노튜브 에미터 캐소드의 금속전극 선폭과 간격은 탄소나노튜브 에미터 밀도와 게이트에 인가되는 전계의 크기에 밀접한 관계가 있어 전계방출특성에 큰 영향을 나타내므로 조속한 상업화를 위해서는 최적화 연구가 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 금속전극의 선폭과 간격을 110/30, 80/30, 40/30과 120/20, 90/20, 20/20 ${\mu}m$로 각각 변화시켜 4.6인치 탄소나노튜브 에미터 기반 flat light lamp 개발연구를 진행하였다. 이때 사용한 금속전극은 2 mm 두께를 갖는 4.6인치 소다라임 글라스 위에 패턴 된 PR에 Ag를 sputtering하여 증착 후 PR을 lift-off하여 형성하였다. 이와 같이 형성된 금속전극은 ~1 ${\mu}m$와 12 nm의 두께와 표면단차를 각각 가지고 있었다. 형성된 금속전극 위에 유전체와 탄소나노튜브 에미터를 각각의 페이스트를 사용하여 스크린 인쇄와 소성과정을 통해 형성하였다. 이때 레이저 빔을 전극사이의 빈 공간에 조사하여 탄소나노튜브 에미터를 금속전극 위에 정밀하게 정렬하였으며 잔존하는 유기물과 유기용매를 없애기 위해 대기압 공기분위기의 $410^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 소성과정을 거친 후 접착테이프를 사용하여 잔탄 속에 있는 탄소나노튜브 에미터를 물리적 힘으로 수직하게 노출시켜 캐소드를 준비하였다. 애노드는 전계에 의해 방출된 전자의 측정과 전계방출 이미지를 얻기 위해서 P22 형광체와 Al박막이 증착된 2 mm 두께의 소다라임 글라스를 사용하였다. 캐소드와 애노드 사이의 간격은 6~10 mm로 유지하였고, 진공챔버의 기본 압력을 $5{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr 이하로 유지하였다. 캐소드와 게이트 전극에 1, 4 kHz와 3% duty를 갖는 bipolar 형태의 DC 사각펄스파를, 애노드에 ~18 kV의 DC 고전압을 각각 인가하여 평가하였으며 추후, 이렇게 제작된 다양한 선폭과 간격을 갖는 탄소나노튜브 에미터 기반 flat light lamp의 전계방출특성과 효율에 대한 비교 연구를 진행할 계획이다.

We have fabricated the source-drain electrodes for OTFTs by screen printing method and manufactured Ag pastes as conductive paste. To obtain excellent conductivity and screen-printability of Ag pastes, the dispersion characteristics of Ag pastes prepared from two types of acryl resins with different molecular structures and Ag powder treated with caprylic acid, triethanol amine and dodecane thiol as surfactant respectively were investigated. The Ag pastes containing Ag powder treated with dodecane thiol having thiol as anchor group or AA4123 with carboxyl group(COOH) of hydrophilic group as binder resin exhibited excellent dispersity. But, Ag pastes(CA-41, TA-41, DT-41) prepared from AA4123 fabricated the insulating layer since the strong interaction between surface of Ag powder and carboxyl group(COOH) of AA4123 interfered with the formation of conduction path among Ag powders. The viscosity behavior of Ag pastes exhibited shear-thinning flow in the high shear rate range and the pastes with bad dispersion characteristic demonstrated higher shear-thinning index than those with good dispersity due to the weak flocculated network structure. The output curve of OTFT device with a channel length of 107 ${\mu}m$ using screen-printed S-D electrodes from DT-30 showed good saturation behavior and no significant contact resistance. And this device exhibited a saturation mobility of $4.0{\times}10^{-3}$ $cm^2/Vs$, on/off current ratio of about $10^5$ and a threshold voltage of about 0.7 V.

Using positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater as supplementary heating for diesel engine vehicles with low heat source is a good method to enhance the heating performance during cold start. In this study, the PTC elements were made by using screen printing process for forming ohmic contact layer, and prototype of PTC heater was designed and made for a diesel engine vehicle. In process of designing the PTC heater, the thermal flow analysis of PTC element modules was conducted for verifying the effect of the shapes of contact surface between each of the components (cooling fin, insulator, ceramic element). We also investigated the performance characteristic (heating capacity, energy efficiency, pressure drop) of the PTC heater through the experiments. Therefore, the experimental results indicated that prototype of PTC heater had satisfactory performance. This study will be basis for improving the manufacturing process and increasing the performance of the PTC element and heater.

Surface mount technology is the biggest theme in the area of deιIronic component. To miniatunze an electronic component, s such as ferrite chip inductor, the cer뼈lic wet process for green-sheet lamination and/or screen printing method through a s solvent medium system is widely used. The preparation and characterization of NiCuZn Ferrite (NCZF) shurry and the green s sheet using the water mixed binder system has been studied. The 21 vol% of NCZF slurry was prepared by a ball milling. The p polyacrylic vinyl copolymer (Mw; 60,000) was used as a binder. Th$\xi$ mixture of distilled water, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and 2l butoxy ethanol was used as a dispersion medium. The water content of medium varied from about 40% to 80%. As the results. Thc disp$\xi$rston stability of the NCZF slurry was attributed to the free polymer rather than the electrostatic force of the particle. T The viscosity of the NCZF slurry was greatly depended on the ratio of water content in the medium.

In this research, we intended to improve the tolerance of thick film resistor using photosensitive polymer resistor paste which was fabricated with alkali-solution developable photosensitive resin and conductive carbon black. At first, we investigated the effect of the selection of carbon black and photosensitive resin on the resistance range and tolerance level of polymer thick film resistor (PTFR). And then, a difference in resistance tolerance was evaluated according to the coating methods of photosensitive resistor paste on test board. In case that the photosensitive resistor paste was coated on whole surface of test board using screen printing, large positional tolerance was obtained because the formation of the thick film with uniform thickness was difficult. On the other hand, when the paste was coated with roller, the resistive thick film with uniform thickness was formed on the whole board area and the result of resistance evaluation showed low tolerance in ${\pm}10%$ range. The tolerance of PTFR could be improved by combination of the precise patterning using photo-process and the coating process for the resistive thick film with uniform thickness.
