The objective of this study is to prepare lead-free thick film resistor (TFR) paste compatible with AlN substrate for hybrid microelectronics. For this purpose, CaO-ZnO-$B_2O_3-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass system was chosen as a sintering aid of $RuO_2$. The effects of the weight ratio of CaO to ZnO in glass composition, the glass content and the sintering temperature on the electrical properties of TFR were investigated. $RuO_2$ as a conductive and glass powder were dispersed in an organic binder to obtain printable paste and then thick-film was formed by screen printing, followed by sintering at the range between $750^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$ for 10 min with a heating rate of $50^{\circ}C$/min in an ambient atmosphere. The addition of ZnO to glass composition and sintering at higher temperature resulted in increasing sheet resistance and decreasing temperature coefficient of resistance. Using $RuO_2$-based resistor paste containing 40 wt%glass of CaO-20.5%ZnO-25%$B_2O_3$-7%$Al_2O_3$-15%$SiO_2$ composition, it is possible to produce thick film resistor on AlN substrate with sheet resistance of $10.6\Omega/\spuare$ and the temperature coefficient of resistance of 702ppm/$^{\circ}C$ after sintering at $850^{\circ}C$.

Abstract: The effect of lead free glass frit compositions on the properties of thick film conductor and resistor pastes were investigated. Two types lead free frits, HBF-A(without $Bi_2O_3$) and HBF-B(with $Bi_2O_3$) were made from $SiO_2$, $B_2O_3$, $Al_2O_3$, CaO, MgO, $Na_2O$, $K_2O$, ZnO, MnO, $ZrO_2$, $Bi_2O_3$. And Ag based conductor pastes and $RuO_2$ based resistor paste were prepared by mixed with these frits and functional phase(Ag and $RuO_2$), and organic vehicle. The properties of thick film conductor and resistor sintered at $850^{\circ}C$ were studied after printing on $Al_2O_3$ substrate. The morphology of the sintered films surface were SEM and EDS were carried out to analysis the chemical composition on resistor surface and state of Ru atom in frit matrix.

Apparent diffusion coefficients of Cl-ions through hardened cement paste(HCP), which were partly substituted blending materials, were determined. Also, pore solution was extracted from HCP which were immersed in NaCl solution, and Cl- concentration of the solution were analyzed. Partly substitution of pozzolanic materials considerably reduced the diffusion rate for Cl-ions and Cl- concentration of pore solution. Binding capacity of Cl- is related to the content of Al2O3 and pozzolanic reactivity.

The electrode resistance of semiconducting PTC BaTiO3 ceramic material was studied in some detail. Comme-rical In-Ag paste In-Ga alloy and electroless plated Ni as well as evaporated Al were chosen as electrode. The contact resistance of electroded samples were measured by both dc resistivity and ac impedance analysis. The aging effect on contact resistance under cyclic loading from -1$0^{\circ}C$ to 85$^{\circ}C$ was also monitored for the prolonged period of time. In case of Al electroded samples the heat treatment and protective coating had effects on the stability against contact resistance degradation. It was also found that the samples with commercial In-Ag paste and electroless plated Ni electrode had good properties of contact resistance against aging.

This paper proposes a model for simulating concrete shrinkage taking into account aggregate restraint. In the model, concrete is regarded as a two-phase material based on shrinkage property. One is paste phase which undergoes shrinkage. Another is aggregate phase which is much more volumetrically stable. In the concrete, the aggregate phase is considered to restrain the paste shrinkage by particle interaction. Strain compatibility was derived under the assumption that there is no relative macroscopic displacement between both phases. Stresses on both phases were derived based on the shrinking stress of the paste phase and the resisting stress of the aggregate phase. Constitutive relation of paste phase was adopted from the study of Yomeyama, K. et al., and that of the aggregate phase was adopted from the author's particle contact density model. The equation for calculating concrete shrinkage considering aggregate restraint was derived from the equilibrium of the two phases. The concrete shrinkage was found to be affected by the free shrinkage of the paste phase, aggregate content and the stiffness of both phases. The model was then verified to be effective for simulating concrete shrinkage by comparing the predicted results with the autogeneous and drying shrinkage test results on mortar and concrete specimens.

A water-soluble conducting polymer (CPP400 Paste) containing a derivative of polythiophene with several dopant was investigated as an anode material for organic electroluminescent devices. The device of ITO/CPP 400 Paste/TPD/$Alq_3$/Li:Al was fabricated, where CPP 400 Paste films were prepared by spin coating and TPD and $Alq_3$, films were prepared by vacuum evaporation. It was found that the turn-on voltage, current density, and luminance of the devices were dependent upon the thickness of CPP 400 Paste film in the Electroluminescent and current-voltage characteristics of the devices. This phenomena were explained by the energy level diagram of the device with the energy levels of the CPP400 Paste obtained by cyclic voltammetric method.

The trend to thinner crystalline silicon solar wafers in production of solar cells investigates re-evolution of back surface field (BSF) formation. We have studied mechanisms of back contact formation in Al evaporation and screen printed Al paste for Si solar cells by TEM analysis. We observed that Si diffuse into Al during heat up. The Si diffusion process made vacancies in Si wafer. The Al began to seep into the Si wafer (Al spike). During heat down, the Al spike were shrink which causes the doped region (BSF).

최근 전자제품들의 소형화, 경량화, 다기능화가 활발히 진행됨에 따라, 고성능의 고출력용 인쇄회로기판(PCB)의 개발이 요구되고 있다. PCB는 전자제품의 각 부품을 전기적으로 연결하는 통로로서 전자제품의 소형화, 다기능화에 따라 고집적화가 요구되고 있다. 하지만 모든 전자장비의 고장의 85% 정도가 발열에 의한 것으로, PCB의 고집적화에 따른 발열문제가 매우 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 최근에는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 PCB의 방열층으로 양극 산화막을 금속 기판 위에 형성하고 이 절연층 위에 금속층을 회로로서 형성하는 방열 PCB 기판에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근까지, 금속층 회로 형성을 위해 무전해 Ni 도금에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어져 왔다. 하지만 주로 화학적, 전기화학적 관점에서 많은 연구자들에 의해 조사 연구되어 왔다. 본 실험에서는 anodized Al 절연층 위의 회로전극 부분으로 스크린 방법으로 Ag paste를 패턴 인쇄한 뒤, 무전해도금 방식으로 저렴한 Ni 전면 회로전극을 형성하여 전기전도도를 높이고, 저항을 낮출 수 있는 회로로서 기판의 손상을 최소화하고 선택적으로 Ag 패턴에만 Ni 전극회로를 형성시키는 것을 목표로 연구하였다. Ni-B 무전해 도금시 도금조의 온도는 $65^{\circ}C$, 무전해 도금액의 pH는 ~7 (중성)로 유지하였다. Al2O3 기판을 이용한 Ag Paste 패턴 위에 증착된 Ni-B 박막의 특성을 분석하기 위해 X-ray diffraction (XRD), AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy)을 이용하여 Ni-B 박막의 특성을 분석하였다.
