The decay heat of Cs and Sr contained in a LiCl waste salt, generated from an electrolytic reduction process in pyroprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, has been calculated. The calculation has been carried out under some assumptions that most of the LiCl waste is purified and recycled to main process, and the residual is fabricated to make a waste form. As a result, the decay heat from daughter nuclides such as Ba and Y seems to be maximum 4.6 times higher than that from their parent nuclides such as Cs and Sr. The thermal release from Cs and Sr in the LiCl waste is the maximum around the first one month, so an cooling system operation for some time at the beginning would be suggested to control a rapid increase in the temperature of the LiCl waste salt.

반도체 소자의 고집적화, 미세화 화로 인해 반도체의 동작속도를 증가시키기 위하여 Cu를 이용한 금속배선이 주목받게 되었으나, 높은 압력으로 인한 보은 Cu 영역에서 과잉 디슁 현상과 에로젼을 유도하고 반도체 웨이퍼위의 low-k 물질에 손상을 줌에 따라 메탈라인 브리징과 단락을 초래할 있어, Cu의 단락인 islands를 남김으로서 표면 결항을 제거하지 못한다는 단점을 가지고 있었다. 그래서 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 기존의 CMP에 전기화학을 결합시킴으로서 낮은 하력에서의 Cu평탄화를 달성할 수 있는 ECMP (electrochemical mechanical polishing)기술이 필요하게 되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전기화학적 기계적 연마(ECMP)작용을 위해, I-V 특성 곡선을 이용하여 패시베이션 막의 active, passive, transient, trans-passive영역의 전기화학적 특성을 비교 분석하였으며, Cu막의 표면 형상을 알아보기 위해 scanning electron microscopy (SEM) 측정과 energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)와 X-ray Diffraction (XRD) 분석을 통해 금속 화학적 조성을 조사하였다.

본 논문에서는 SoP-L(System on Package-Laminates) 기술을 이용하여 이종의 유전율을 가진 유기물 적층 기반의 수동소자를 이용한 GSM/DCS 대역 분리용 diplexer를 설계, 제작하였고 그 특성을 고찰하였다. SoP-L 기술은 LTCC기술과 같은 타 SoP 기술과 비교해서 이종의 물질을 접합하는데 용이하고 공정비용이 저렴하다. 이러한 장점을 이용하여 캐때시터는 유전율 40의 고유전율 재료를 사이에 두고 구성하였고, 인덕터 부문에는 유전율 4률 적용, 정방혈 스파이럴 구조로 두 개 층으로 구성하여 소형화를 이룰 수 있었다. 제작 시에 구리와 유기물을 적층, patterning 하였고, 수직 via hole 을 형성하고 구리의 무전해, 전해 도금 과정을 거쳐 각 소자를 연결하였다. 이러한 과정을 거쳐 제작된 diplexer의 GSM 저역 통과 필터는 0.52 dB이하의 삽입손실과 20 dB 이상의 반사손실을 가지고 DCS 통과 대역 부근에 notch 가 존재하도록 설계함으로써 DCS 통과 대역에서 17 dB 이상의 저지특성을 나타내었다. DCS 고역 통과 필터는 1.2 dB 이하의 삽입손실과 16 dB 이상의 반사손실을 가지며 GSM 통과 대역 부근에 notch를 가지도록 설계하여 GSM 통과대역에서 32 dB 이상의 저지특성을 나타내었다.

Tension tests for copper thin films with thickness of $12{\mu}m$ were performed by using a digital image correlation method based on consecutive digital images. When calculating deformation using digital image correlation, a large deformation causes errors in the calculated result. In this study, the calculation procedure was improved to reduce the error, so that the full field deformation and the strain of the specimen could be accurately and directly measured on its surface. From the calculated result, it can be seen that the strain distribution is not uniform and its variation is severe, unlike the distribution in a common bulk specimen. This might result from the surface roughness introduced in the films during the fabrication process by electro-deposition.

The coliform group, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus were analyzed for eliminating of microorganism spore which could be embeded in honey and eradication of studied for heat resistance of thermoacidophilic bacteria was studied for marketing of honey after producing honey drink. The method for analyzing of heat resistance thermoacidophilic bacteria was membrane-seperated cell culture with $0.45\;{\mu}m$ micro-filter and vacuum aspirator. The results of bacteria, coliform group, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus was negative, but normal method such as sterilization with electrolyzed water, normal micro-filter, high-temperature heating and microwave did not have effect on heat resistance thermoacidophilic bacteria. Also, absolute type micro-filter of $0.45\;{\mu}m$ and $0.8\;{\mu}m$ microfilteration showed higher effect on heat resistance thermoacidophilic bacteria than micro-filter of normal type, showing negative results at all treatments.

The possibility of an improvement in heat dissipation performance of aluminum alloy heat sink for shipboard LED luminaries through plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) was investigated. Four different PEO coatings were produced on aluminum alloy 5052 in silicate based alkaline solution by varying current density ($50{\sim}200mA/cm^2$). On voltage-time response curves, three stages were clearly distinguished at all current densities, namely an initial linear increase, slowdown of increase rate, and steady state(constant voltage). It was found that the increase in current density caused the breakdown voltage to increase. Two different surface morphologies - coralline porous structure and pancake structure - were confirmed by SEM examination. The coralline porous structure was predominant in the coatings produced at lower current densities (50 and $100mA/cm^2$) while under high current densities(150 and $200mA/cm^2$) the pancake structure became dominant. The coating thickness was measured and found to be in a range between about $13{\mu}m$ and $44{\mu}m$, showing increasing thickness with increasing current density. As a result, $100mA/cm^2$ was proposed as an effective process parameter to improve the heat dissipation performance of aluminum alloy heat sink, which could lower the LED operating temperature by about 30%.

This study investigated how the surface of Al-12wt.%Si alloy modified by the plasma electrolytic oxidation process (PEO). The PEO process was performed in an electrolyte with sodium hexametaphsphate as a conducting salt, and the effect of ammonium metavanadate on variations in the morphology of electrochemically generated oxide layers on the alloy surface was investigated. It is difficult to form a uniform passive oxide layer on Al alloys with a high Si content due to the differences in the oxidation behavior of the silicon-rich phase and the aluminum-rich phase. The oxide layer covered the entire surface of the Al-12WT.%Si alloy uniformly when ammonium metavanadate was added to the electrolyte. The oxide layer was confirmed as a mixture of $V_2O_3$ and $V_2O_5$ by XPS analysis. In addition, the oxide layer obtained by the PEO process with ammonium metavanadate exhibited a black color. Application of this surface modification method is expected to solve the problem of the lack of uniformity in the coloring of oxide layeres caused by different oxidation behaviors during a surface treatment.

The purpose of this study is to examine the validity of recycled aggregates (RAs) as a substitute for Sand-Mat material for soft ground improvement in the housing site development. To evaluate the possibility of RAs as a substitute for sand mat material, first of all, the criteria and regulations related with the quality of lateral drain layer were collected and checked. Secondly, both of the properties of RAs were compared with the properties of natural sand for the lateral drain layer. The material properties related to coefficient of permeability, pressure at-rest state and so on satisfied most standards. On the basis of the test results, RAs were used to the construction site as lateral drain layer. Accordingly, if the quality of RAs can be managed well, the application of these RAs as lateral drain layer to replace natural sand was highly effective. Also, based on cost analysis of two materials, RAs are proved to be very competitive.

Carbon nanotubes reinforced copper matrix laminated nanocomposites were developed and the mechanical properties were evaluated by using micro-tensile testing system. Sandwich-type laminated structure constituted with carbon nanotube layers as a reinforcement and electroplated copper matrix were fabricated by a new processing approach based on selective dip-coating of carbon nanotubes. The mechanical properties of nanocomposites were improved due to an enhanced load sharing capacity of carbon nanotubes homogeneously distributed within the in-plane direction, as well as a bridging effect of carbon nanotubes along the out-of-plane direction between the upper and lower matrices. The universality of the layering approach is applicable to a wide range of functional materials, and here we demonstrate its potential use in reinforcing composite materials.

Although chemical sedimentation and ion exchange are usually applied to the treatment of heavy metal ions and radioactive cations, they have some serious disadvantages like a great consumption of chemicals, the disposal of valuable metals, and the secondary pollution of soil by the solid-waste. The advanced countries recently have studied the electrochemical ion exchange, combined electrochemical reduction and ion exchange, for the development of the alternative technique. This study has been performed to investigate the optimum condition for the preparation of the nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCNFe) which is an electrochemical ion exchanger. NiHCNFe film was deposited on the surface of nickel plate by chemical method or electrochemical method. The morphology and composition of NiHCNFe were observed by SEM and EDS, respectively. The peak current density of NiHCNFe was measured from the cyclic voltammograms of the continuous oxidation-reduction reaction in a parallel plane ion exchange electrode reactor. It was found that the chemical preparation method was better than the electrochemical method. The concentrated NiHCNFe was apparently deposited on nickel plate when dipping in the preparing solution for 118 h, especially. It also had a best durable performance as an ion exchange electrode.
