Gold wire has long been used as a proven method of connecting a silicon die to a substrate in wide variety of package types, delivering high yield and productivity. However, with the high price of gold, the semiconductor packaging industry has been implementing an alternate wire material. These materials may include silver (Ag) or copper (Cu) alloys as an alternative to save material cost and maintain electrical performance. This paper will analyze and compare the electrical characteristics of several wire types. For the study, typical 0.6 mil, 0.8 mil and 1.0 mil diameter wires were selected from various alloy types (2N gold, Palladium (Pd) coated/doped copper, 88% and 96% silver) as well as respective pure metallic wires for comparison. Each wire model was validated by comparing it to electromagnetic simulation results and measurement data. Measurements from the implemented test boards were done using a vector network analyzer (VNA) and probe station setup. The test board layout consisted of three parts: 1. Analysis of the diameter, length and material characteristic of each wire; 2. Comparison between a microstrip line and the wire to microstrip line transition; and 3. Analysis of the wire's cross-talk. These areas will be discussed in detail along with all the extracted results from each type the wire.

It has been reported that liver is a very important organ to xenotransplantation. Pig is known to be a most suitable species in transplantation of human organs. However, the physiological function of pig hepatocytes is not clear elucidated. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is known to be a mitogen in various cell systems. Thus, we examined the effect of EGF on cell proliferation and its related signal cascades in primary cultured pig hepatocytes. EGF stimulates cell proliferation in a dose (>1ng/ml) dependent manner. EGF-induced increase of $[^3H]-thymidine$ incorporation was blocked by AG 1478 ($10^{-6}M$, an EGF receptor antagonist) genistein and herbymycin A (tyrosine kinase inhibitors, $10^{-6}M$), suggesting the role of activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of EGF receptor. In addition, EGF-induced increase of $[^3H]-thymidine$ incorporation was prevented by neomycin $(10^{-4}M)$, U73122 $(10^{-5}M)$ (phospholipase C [PLC] inhibitors), staurosporine ($(10^{-8}M)$, or bisindolylmaleimide I $(10^{-6}M)$ (protein kinase C [PKC] inhibitors), suggesting the role of PLC and PKC. Moreover, EGF-induced increase of $[^3H]-thymidine$ incorporation was blocked by PD 98059 (a p44/42 mitogen activated protein kinase [MAPK] inhibitor), SB 203580 (a p38 MAPK inhibitor), and SP 600125 (a JNK inhibitor). EGF increased the translocation of PKC from cytosol to membrane fraction and activated p42/44 MAPK, p38 MAPK and JNK. In conclusion, EGF stimulates cell proliferation via PKC and MAPK in cultured pig hepatocytes.

A variety of the porcelain fused to gold(PFG) have been developed to which porcelain can be fused. PFG alloys developed for this purposed have a high melting point and do not discolor when combined with porcelain. The design of the compositions of PFG is very important to esthetic restorative materials applying to porcelain. The purpose of this study is on the change of physical and mechanical characteristics in PFG 18K alloy by the small additional elements. Principal results are as follows. The high Au alloy containing 18Karat gold contents is respectively Au(75%), Pd(10%), Pt(4%), Ag(4%), In(2%), Sn(2%), Cu(2%), Ti(1%). These alloys are composed mainly of gold, platinum, silver and palladium with a few percent of the additional elements. By the addition of small amounts of elements such as In, Sn, Ti, the fine grain castings are produced in gold alloy and the small addition of platinum is very effective in increasing of hardness and strength. These gold alloys are representative of the changes to be expected as a result of heat treatment. These changes in strength and hardness values are sufficient to demonstrate a significant difference in performance between a as-casted and a heat-treated. These alloys have mechanical properties characteristics of Type and Type gold alloys. These alloys are useful to porcelain-metal restorations and dental laboratory. Also the porcelain fused to metal(PFM) alloys containing gold are commonly use for dental purposes in dental laboratory.

Piezoelectric thick films of soft $Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ (PZT) based commercial material (S55) were fabricated using a conventional tape casting method. Ag-Pd electrodes were printed on the piezoelectric film at room temperature and all 5 layered films with a dimension of $12mm{\times}16mm$ were successfully laminated for a multi-layered piezoelectric ceramic actuator. The laminated specimens were co-fired at $1,100^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. A flat layered and dense microstructure was obtained for the $112{\mu}m$ thick piezoelectric actuator after sintering process. Thereafter, a prototype piezoelectric speaker was fabricated using the multi-layered piezoelectric ceramic actuator which can operate as a bimorph. Its SPL (sound pressure level) characteristic was also evaluated for speaker application. Frequency response revealed that the output SPL with a root mean square voltage of 10 V increased gradually to the highest peak of 87.5 dB for 1.5 kHz and exhibited a relatively stable behavior over the measured frequency range (${\leq}20kHz$) at a distance of 10 cm, implying that the fabricated piezoelectric speaker is potential for speaker applications.

최근 폴리머를 기판으로 하는 Flexible TFT (thin film transistor)나 3D-ULSI (three dimensional ultra large-scale integrated circuit)에서 높은 에너지 소비효율과, 빠른 반응 속도를 실현 시키기 위해 낮은 비저항(resistivity)을 가지며, 높은 홀 속도(carrier hall mobility)를 가지는 다결정 반도체 박막(poly-crystalline thin film)을 만들고자 하고 있다. 이를 실현 시키기 위해서는 높은 온도에서 장시간의 열처리가 필요하며, 이는 폴리머 기판의 문제점을 야기시킬 뿐 아니라 공정시간이 길다는 단점이 있었다. 이에 반도체 박막의 재결정화 온도를 낮춰주는 metal (Al, Ni, Co, Cu, Ag, Pd etc.,)을 이용하여 결정화 시키는 방법이 많이 연구 되어지고 있지만, 이 또한 재결정화가 이루어진 반도체 박막 안에 잔여 금속(residual metal)이 존재하게 되어 비저항을 높이고, 홀 속도를 감소시키는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 실험은 HiPIMS (High power impulse magnetron sputtering)와 PIII and D (plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition) 공정을 복합시킨 프로세스로 적은양의 금속이온주입을 통하여 재결정화 온도를 낮췄을 뿐 아니라, 잔여 하는 금속의 양도 매우 적은 다결정 반도체 박막을 만들 수 있었다. 분석 장비로는 박막의 결정화도를 측정하기 위해 GAXRD (glancing angle X-ray diffractometer)를 사용하였고, 잔여 하는 금속의 양과 화학적 결합 상태를 알아보기 위해 XPS를 통해 분석을 하였다. 마지막으로 홀 속도와 비저항을 측정하기 위해 Hall measurement와 Four-point prove를 사용하였다.

최근 폴리머를 기판으로 하는 고속 Flexible TFT (Thin film transistor)나 고효율의 박막 태양전지(Thin film solar cell)를 실현시키기 위해 낮은 비저항(resistivity)을 가지며, 높은 홀 속도(carrier hall mobility)와 긴 이동거리를 가지는 다결정 반도체 박막(poly-crystalline semiconductor thin film)을 만들고자 하고 있다. 지금까지 다결정 박막 반도체를 만들기 위해서는 비교적 높은 온도에서 장시간의 열처리가 필요했으며, 이는 폴리머 기판의 문제점을 야기시킬 뿐 아니라 공정시간이 길다는 단점이 있었다. 이에 반도체 박막의 재결정화 온도를 낮추어 주는 metal (Al, Ni, Co, Cu, Ag, Pd, etc.)을 이용하여 결정화시키는 방법(MIC)이 많이 연구되어지고 있지만, 이 또한 재결정화가 이루어진 반도체 박막 안에 잔류 금속(residual metal)이 존재하게 되어 비저항을 높이고, 홀 속도와 이동거리를 감소시키는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 실험은, 종래의 MIC 결정화 방법에서 이용되어진 금속 증착막을 이용하는 대신, HIPIMS (High power impulse magnetron sputtering)와 PIII&D (Plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition) 공정을 복합시킨 방법으로 적은 양의 알루미늄을 이온주입함으로써 재결정화 온도를 낮추었을 뿐 아니라, 잔류하는 금속의 양도 매우 적은 다결정 반도체 박막을 만들 수 있었다. 분석 장비로는 박막의 결정화도를 측정하기 위해 GIXRD (Glazing incident x-ray diffraction analysis)와 Raman 분광분석법을 사용하였고, 잔류하는 금속의 양과 화학적 결합 상태를 알아보기 위해 XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)를 통한 분석을 하였다. 또한, 표면 상태와 막의 성장 상태를 확인하기 위하여 HRTEM(High resolution transmission electron microscopy)를 통하여 관찰하였다.

A unimorph piezoelectric cantilever generator with an interdigitated electrode (IDE) was developed for vibration energy harvester applications driven in the longitudinal mode. Hard lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramic with a high $Q_m$ of 1,280 was used as the piezoelectric active material. Ten PZT sheets produced by tape casting were laminated and co-fired with an Ag/Pd IDE at $1,050^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The approximately $280{\mu}m$-thick co-fired PZT laminate with the IDE was attached to a stainless steel substrate with an adhesive epoxy for the fabrication of an IDE unimorph cantilever. Its energy harvesting characteristics were evaluated: an output power of $1.1{\mu}W$ at 120 Hz across the resistive load of $700k{\Omega}$ was obtained, corresponding to a normalized power factor of $4.1{\mu}W/(G^2{\cdot}cm^3)$.

본 연구는 1차원 나노 구조의 합성과 기초적 분석에 관한 연구로써 특히 무기 산화물 나노재료를 그 대상으로 하였다. 내용으로는 첫째, 1차원 코어 나노와이어의 합성을 하였고 Thermal evaporation, substrate의 가열, 그리고 MOCVD 를 사용한 결과들을 나열한다. 둘째, 코어-쉘 나노와이어를 제작하기 위하여 특히 쉘층의 제작방법을 연구하였는데 PECVD, ALD, 그리고 sputtering에 의한 결과들을 나열하고 간단히 설명한다. Thermal evaporation에 의한 1차원 나노와이어 합성의 경우는 MgO의 예를 들었는데 MgO 나노와이어는 Au가 증착된 기판을 열처리하여 Au dot를 형성하고 이의 morphology를 조절하여 최적의 나노와이어 합성조건을 선정하였다. 이로써 기판 morphology가 나노선의 성장및 형상에 영향을 준다는 사실을 알게 되었다. 이 사실은 In2O3기판을 사용하고 이의 표면거칠기를 열처리로 조절하므로써 역시 나노와이어의 성장을 촉진하는 방법을 찾아내었다. 또한 thermal evaporation공법은 source분말의 선택에 따라 다양한 소재를 제작가능하다는 결과를 제시하였다. 예를 들면 SiOx 층이 precoating된 chamber내에서 MgO 나노선을 합성하는 것과 동일한 조건으로 실험을 진행하면 Mg2SiO4 나노와이어가 형성된 것을 확인하였다. 또한 Sn과 MgB2 분말을 함께 적용할 경우 Sn tip을 가진 MgO 나노와이어를 얻을 수 있었다. 이는 Sn이 동시에 촉매의 역할을 하였기 때문일 것으로 추정된다. 한편 Sn과 Bi 혼합분말을 적용한 경우 Bi2Sn2O7 신소재 tip을 포함한 SnO2 나노와이어를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 경우 Bi원자가 적절한 촉매의 역할을 수행한 것으로 사료된다. Substrate의 가열공법에서는 Si wafer상에 각종 금속 즉 Au, Ag, Cu, Co, Mo, W, Pt, Pd등 초박막을 DC sputter 로 형성한후 annealing하는 기술을 사용하였다. 특기할 만한 것은 Co를 사용한 경우 나노와이어의 spring구조를 얻을 수 있었다는 점이다. MOCVD에 의하여는 Ga2O3및 Bi2O3 나노와이어를 비교적 저온에서 합성하였고 In2O3의 경우는 독특한 나노구조를 형성하였고 이의 결정학적 특성에 대하여 조사하였다.

A piezoelectric ceramic fiber composite (PCFC) was successfully fabricated using $0.69Pb(Zr_{0.47}Ti_{0.53})O_3-0.31[Pb(Zn_{0.4}Ni_{0.6})_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}]O_3$ (PZT-PZNN) for use in small-scale wind energy harvesters. The PCFC was formed using an epoxy matrix material and an array of Ag/Pd-coated PZT-PZNN piezo-ceramic fibers sandwiched by Cu interdigitated electrode patterned polyethylene terephthalate film. The energy harvesting performance was evaluated in a custom-made wind tunnel while varying the wind speed and resistive load with two types of flutter wind energy harvesters. One had a five-PCFC array vertically clamped with a supporting acrylic rod while the other used the same structure but with a five-PCFC cantilever array. Stainless steel (thickness: $50{\mu}m$) was attached onto one side of the PCFC to form the PZT-PZNN cantilever. The output power, in general, increased with an increase in the wind speed from 2 m/s to 10 m/s for both energy harvesters. The highest output power of $15.1{\mu}W$ at $14k{\Omega}$ was obtained at a wind speed of 10 m/s for the flutter wind energy harvester with the PZT-PZNN cantilever array. The results presented here reveal the strong potential for wind energy harvester applications to supply sustainable power to various IoT micro-devices.
