In this research, the mechanism of micro-ECM was investigated with potentiodynamic method and the optimal condition for micro-ECM was selected by voltage-current-time curve with potentiostatic method. From the experimental result. it was confirmed that anodic voltage curve could be used very effectively for determining the optimal condition of micro-ECM, and the micro part which has extremely fine surface could be fabricated by use of micro-ECM with point electrode method.

Anodizing processes is the conversion of the aluminum surface to aluminum oxide while the part is the anode in an electrolytic cell. The object of the anodizing was increased corrosion resistant, paint adhesion and was provided unique, decorative colors. Many electrolytes, under different conditions, have been used for the anodic oxidation of alumminum and its alloys. This paper deals with the procedures used in the anodic oxidation of aluminum and its alloys, the nature and properties of the oxide films, their uses and anodizing equipment and process control.

A procedure for preparing semiconductor/metal nanowire arrays is described, based on a template method which entails electrochemical deposition into nanometer-wide parallel pores of anodic aluminum oxide films on aluminum. Aligned CdS/Co heterostructured nanowires have been prepared by ac electrodeposition in the anodic aluminum oxide templates. By varying the preparation conditions, a variety of CdS/Co nanowire arrays were fabricated, whose dimensional properties could be adjusted.

AAO(Anodic Aluminum Oxidation) method has been known that it is practically useful for the fabrication of nano-structures and makes it possible to fabricate the highly ordered nano masters on large surface and even on the 2.5 or 3D surface at low cost comparing to the expensive e-beam lithography or the conventional silicon processing. In this study, by using the multi-step anodizing and etching processes, highly ordered nano patterned master with concave shapes was fabricated. By varying the processing parameters, such as initial matter and chemical conditions; electrical and thermal conditions; time scheduling; and so on, the size and the pitch of the nano pattern can be controlled. Consequently, various alumina/aluminum nano structures can be easily available in any size and shape by optimized anodic oxidation in various aqueous acids. The resulting good filled uniform nano molded structure through hot embossing molding process shows the validity of the fabricated nano pattern masters.

We investigated chloride ion effects on anodic dissolution of copper using potentiodynamic method, cyclic voltammtery, chronoamperometry and chronocoulometry. The anodic dissolution reaction of copper in NaCl solution under argon atmosphere is $Cu+2Cl^{-}{\rightleftharpoons}{CuCl_2}^{-}+e^-$ and chloride ion adsorption process in copper surface can be explained by Temkin isotherm.

For given electrolytes, different behaviors of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) and anodic titanium oxide (ATO) during electrochemical thinning are explained by ionic and electronic current modes. Branched structures are unavoidably created in AAO since the switch of ionic to electronic current is slow, whereas the barrier oxide in ATO is thinned without formation of the branched structures. In addition, pore opening can be possible in ATO if chemical etching is performed after the thinning process. The thinning was optimized for complete pore opening in ATO and potential-current behavior is interpreted in terms of ionic current-electronic current switching.

The effects on the formation of anodic oxide films on Mg-Al alloy (AZ91) in 1M-NaOH solution was investigated using parameters of current density and time during anodizing The general tendency has been confirmed that the increase of anodizing time improves the corrosion resistance. It is considered that the formation of anodic oxide film was increased by increasing the applied current and the anodizing time to generate active dissolution reaction In anodizing at constant current density. passivity potentials shifted to noble direction with increasing current densities. It was confirmed that oxygen quantify in anodic oxide films increased with anodizing time. The compact films above 4 $mA/cm^2$ were formed with the shape of an island in grooves at early stage and then grew with combination of the islands

Porous anodic alumina has been used widely for corrosion protection of aluminum surfaces or as dielectric material in micro-electronics applications. It exhibits a homogeneous morphology of parallel pores which can easily be controlled between 10 and 400nm. It has been applied as a template for fabrication of the nanometer-scale composite. In this study, mechanical properties of the AAO structures are measured by the nano indentation method. Nano indentation technique is one of the most effective methods to measure the mechanical properties of nano-structures. Basically, hardness and elastic modulus can be obtained by the nano-indentation. Using the nano-indentation method, we investigated the mechanical properties of the AAO structure with different size of nano-holes. In results, we find the hole effect that changes the mechanical properties as size of nano hole.

In this paper, a spacer process for FED(Field Emission Display) was developed with the glass to glass anodic bonding technology using Al film as an interlayer and a 3.5 inch monochromatic type FED was fabricated. Holder to dislocate spacers vertically was designed with (110) Si wafer by bulk etching. Spacers, $100\mum\; width\; and\; 1000\mum$ height, were formed on anode panel by spacer to glass anodic bonding and the fabricated FED was operated for emission at 1㎸ anode voltage.

In this paper, spacer process for FED (Field Emission Display ) was developed with the glass to glass anodic bonding technology using Al film as an interlayer. Characteristics, current density-time curves and force of the anodic boding were measured on various thickness of Al film; 1000$\AA$, 2000$\AA$, 3000$\AA$, 4000$\AA$ and 500$\AA$. Holders for spacer were fabricated with photosensitive glass and (110) Si wafer by bulk micromachining. Spacers was formed on glass substrate by spacer glass to glass anodic bonding and an evacuated panel was fabricated to prove the potential of application for FED.
