In this study, We developed a simple and low cost capacitive pressure mapping sensor and microcontroller-base lock-in amplifier array. We developed capacitive type pressure mapping sensor by forming the electrode and adhesives on plastic films using only the printing process, and the finishing the process by bonding the two films. Lock-in amplifier array was based on a general purpose microcontroller and had only a charge amplifier as analog circuits. In this study, a $10{\times}10$ capacitive type pressure mapping sensor and lock-in amplifier array was fabricated and its characteristics were analyzed.

Smartphone is integrated into the daily lives of all types of people not even young generation. A touch screen display is a primary input device of a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc. While there are many tough technologies in existence, resistive and capacitive are dominant and currently lead the touch screen panel industry. And a capacitive touch screen panel widely used in smart phones is coated with a material that stores electrical charges. In this study, we tried to manufacture gloves produced with electro-conducting leather as a tool to operate a touch panel screen. Therefore, electrically conductive materials, Polyaniline(PANI), Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), and Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were applied to the surface of leather to be used as a touching operator for capacitive touch screen panel. The leather samples were treated by simple painting method; firstly, they were painted with aqueous solution containing each of the electrically conductive materials and then dried. This cycle was repeated three times. Consequently, the treated leather samples showed electrical conductivity and reasonable working performance to the capacitive touch screen. And, PANI showed the best performance and highest electrical conductivity, and then PEDOT and, CNT in decreasing order. This is because the solubilities of PANI and PEDOT show higher than dispersibility of CNT. Thus, the concentration of conducting polymers was greater than that of CNT in the treating solutions.

본 연구에서는 다공성 탄소 전극의 음극과 양극 표면에 각각 양이온교환고분자(Nafion)와 음이온교환고분자(aminated polyphenylene oxide, APPO)를 코팅하여 막 결합형 축전식 탈염(membrane capacitive deionization, MCDI) 공정에 적용하였다. 또한 위 공정의 성능을 탄소 전극만으로 구성한 축전식 탈염(capacitive deionization, CDI) 공정과 비교 평가해 보고 염 제거 효율이 최대로 나타나는 MCDI 공정의 최적 운전 조건을 탐색하고자 하였다. 염 제거 효율은 MCDI 공정이 CDI 공정에 비해 높게 나타났으며 Nafion과 APPO를 적용한 MCDI 공정에서 흡착 조건이 1.2 V, 3 min이고 탈착 조건이 -1.0 V, 1 min 일 때의 염 제거 효율이 82.1%로 최댓값을 보임을 확인했다.

The output voltage value of AC high voltage source has been usually obtained by multiplying low voltage value measured at both terminals of low voltage resistor by the dividing ratio of the high voltage capacitive divider. From the dividing ratio determined of each 200 kV capacitive divider, we have developed step-up method for measuring the output voltage up to 400 kV using two same type of 200 kV capacitive dividers connected in series. The theoretical dividing ratio of 400 kV capacitive dividers connected in series coincides with that of manufacturer's certification within measurement uncertainty. Thus, this developed step-up method makes it possible to extend the range of output voltage from 200 kV to 400 kV. Furthermore, The dividing ratio of divider under test obtained using this step-up method is consistent with that obtained using one 200 kV high voltage divider within corresponding uncertainties.

본 논문에서는 터치키에 응용할 수 있는 풀 디지털 방식의 정전용량 센싱 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 측정하고자 하는 정전용량 두 개와 두 정전용량 사이 저항으로 구성된다. 각 정전용량과 저항으로 지연을 측정한 후 두 지연의 차이로 측정하고자 하는 두 정전용량의 차이를 구하는 방식으로 동작전압, 온도, 습도와 같은 동작환경변화의 영향을 완화시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 실험결과 제안된 방식의 정전용량 해상도가 1.02pF이어서 터치키에 적용할 수 있음을 보였다.

In this study, a new type of electrode device is implemented to measure the capacitance energy and interpret it as the ECG (Electrocardiogram) data. The main idea of this new electrode system is to estimate the capacitance on the skin by assembling a capacitive-coupled circuits and translate into the ECG signal. To measure the coupling energy and estimate the aquired data in terms of heart activity, the capacitive-coupled electrode is garmented with fabrics in the form of a chest band or a vest jacket. To compare the ECG data from the capacitive-coupled electrode with the conventional electrode(Ag-AgCl) system, the corelation coefficient between two signals is computed as 0.9517. Thus, we can conclude the fact that capacitive-coupled electrode system can measure a person's heart activity without any contact to his or her skin and can the interpreted as the ECG data.

High precision sensing is very important in various technologies. Especially, it is more important when it were applied to nano/micro meter level's sensing like AFM, storage, etc. And capacitive sensing is widely used method. To improve the measurement efficiency, many signal conditioners were studied and one of them was surface acoustic wave (SAW) device. SAW device is very widely used as a high frequency bandwidth filter. Due to the reflective characteristic of high frequency, the response of SAW device contains both propagative and reflective signal at the external impedance. In this paper, we used SAW device as signal conditioner of capacitive sensor. And high precision gap measurement was executed using capacitive load. Reference signal was reflective SAW response and the magnitude at the center frequency of SAW device by the change of impedance was checked. Finally, the attainable gap resolution was determined.

For the purpose of developing capacitive humidity sensor having interdigital electrodes, interdigital electrode was modeled and simulated to obtain capacitance and sensitivity as a function of geometric parameters like the structural gap and thickness. For the development of ASIC, switched capacitor signal processing circuits for capacitive humidity sensor were designed and simulated by Cadence using $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS process parameters. The signal processing circuits are composed of amplifier for voltage gain control, and clock generator for sensor driving and switch control. The characteristics of the fabricated sensors are; 1) sensitivity is 9fF/%R.H., 2) temperature coefficient of offset(TCO) is $0.4%R.H./^{\circ}C$, 3) nonlinearity is 1.2%FS, 4) hysteresis is 1.5%FS in humidity range of $3%R.H.{\sim}98%R.H.$. The response time is 50 seconds in adsorption and 70 seconds in desorption. Fabricated process used in this capacitive humidity sensor having interdigital electrode are just as similar as conventional IC process technology. Therefore this can be easily mass produced with low cost, simple circuit and utilized in many applications for both industrial and environmental measurement and control system, such as monitoring system of environment, automobile, displayer, IC process room, and laboratory etc.
