Currently, active research is being performed on printing of electronic devices such as RFID devices, flexible displays, solar cells, and e-paper. This technique has several advantages over existing technologies such as lithography and etching. In particular, RFID devices, flexible displays, solar cells, and e-paper require flexibility and a mass production system. Thus, attention is being focused on the roll-to-roll process. High quality should be guaranteed in the roll-to-roll printed electronics systems, and good thickness and roughness qualities must be ensured. Experimental design was applied to this problem to analyze the main effects and interaction effects of various factors. Matching technology between the nip roll characteristics and the quality of the print pattern in roll-to-roll printed electronics systems was proposed to improve the printing quality.

This study is an 1-D numerical study prior to modification of diesel engine for power plants to natural gas/diesel dual fuel engine using GT-Power with 1.5MW diesel engine for power generation. Natural gas injector was installed to intake manifold for dual fuel engine model. Effects on engine performance and characteristics were investigated when dual fuel is used in unmodified diesel engine. The analysis was done under 5 conditions from 0% to 40% of mixing rate on 720RPM engine speed. As a result of research, the engine performance was decreased as increasing ratio of natural gas. Engine brake power was decreased by 18.4% under 40% mixing rate condition. To clarify the reason, effects of injection timing and period were evaluated with DOE method. Considering this result, optimization was done for these parameters. Also, comparison between performances of dual fueled engine and diesel engine was made after optimizing the timing of injection by DOE method. As a result, engine brake power was decreased by 8.55% under mixing rate 40% condition showing 12.5% improvement.

The demand for smaller, faster, and multi-functional mobile devices in increasing at a rapidly increasing rate. In response to these trends, Stacked Chip Scale Package (SCSP) is used widely in the assembly industry. A film type adhesive called die attach film (DAF) is used widely for bonding chips in SCSP. The DAF requires high flowability at high die attachment temperatures for bonding chips on organic substrates, where the DAF needs to feel the gap depth, or for bonding the same sized dies, where the DAF needs to penetrate bonding wires. In this study, the mixture design of experiment (DOE) was performed for three raw materials to obtain the optimized DAF recipe for low elastic modulus at high temperature. Three components are acrylic polymer (SG-P3) and two solid epoxy resins (YD011 and YDCN500-1P) with different softening points. According to the DOE results, the elastic modulus at high temperature was influenced greatly by SG-P3. The elastic modulus at $100^{\circ}C$ decreased from 1.0 MPa to 0.2 MPa as the amount of SG-P3 was decreased by 20%. In contrast, the elastic modulus at room temperature was dominated by YD011, an epoxy with a higher softening point. The optimized DAF recipe showed approximately 98.4% pickup performance when a UV dicing tape was used. A DAF crack that occurred in curing was effectively suppressed through optimization of the cure accelerator amount and two-step cure schedule. The imizadole type accelerator showed better performance than the amine type accelerator.

LED는 기존의 발광원에 비해 훨씬 높은 파워와 효율성으로 인해 최근 들어 각종 조명이나 교통신호 등에서 사용이 급증하고 있다. LED 재료를 위해 지금까지 여러가지가 연구되어 왔는데, 갈륨 질화물 (Gallium Nitride, GaN)에 기반한 시스템이 최근들어 가장 큰 관심을 받고 있다. GaN 방식은 열적으로 매우 안정성이 있고, 1.9 ~ 6.2 eV 범위의 넓은 밴드의 Gap, 그리고 인듐이나 알루미늄과 결합하여 청, 녹, 백색등의 다양한 빛을 발생할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 예를 들어 청색 LED는 광학 방식의 기록매체에, 백색 LED는 기존의 조명램프의 대체용으로 활용이 가능하다. 이러한 장점 덕분에 GaN기반 LED 시장은 1994년에 최초로 상용화 된 이래 최근 급격한 성장을 보여 왔다. 그러나 GaN은 다른 III~V 타입의 반도체 재료와는 달리 재료가 성장하기 위해 사파이어와 같은 별도의 기판을 필요로 하는 문제가 있다. 이것은 결국 전위발생과 같은 격자의 부조화 같은 문제를 야기하여 결국 LED의 성능을 떨어뜨리는 요인이 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 HVPE(Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy) 방법이 개발되었는데, 이 방법은 시간당 100 미크론의 매우 빠른 성장속도로 높은 두께의 레이어를 만드는 장점이 있다. 이렇게 성장된 GaN 레이어는 베이스 기판에서 쉽게 분리되어 활용이 가능하다. 그러나 HVPE 기술은 성장 공정에서 두께를 균일하게 만들도록 제어하는 것이 매우 어렵다는 문제가 있다. 따라서 HVPE 방식에서는 이러한 조건을 만족시키기 위해 반응현상에 대한 물리적 해석을 토대로 공정조건을 정밀하게 설계해야 한다. 이를 위해 최근에 실험 또는 시뮬레이션을 활용하여 이러한 공정조건을 향상시키기 위한 여러 연구가 진행되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 연구의 일환으로 반응로에 투입되는 여러 기체의 유량과 존별 주변온도 조건을 입력변수로 하고, 이들이 GaN 성장에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. HVPE 시스템에서 가장 이상적인 목표는 반응기체가 층류유동을 유지하면서 대부분의 반응이 기판위에서 이뤄지며, 기판위에서 성장되는 재료의 두께가 균일하게 되는 것이다. 입력변수들이 이러한 결과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지 분석하기 위해 전산유체역학(CFD, Computational Fluid Dynamics)을 수행하는 상용코드 FLUENT를 사용하였다. 보다 실제에 가까운 해석을 위해서는 기체간의 화학반응을 포함해야 하나, 해석의 편의와 효율을 위해 본 연구에서는 열 및 유동해석만을 수행하였다. 한편 실제 반응로의 우수성은 성장속도와 두께분포의 균일도를 통해 평가된다. CFD 해석을 통해 이들을 분석하기 위해 기존에 수행한 실험조건을 해석하고 해석결과의 유동패턴/압력분포를 실험결과의 성장속도/두께분포와 비교하고, 이중에서 관련성이 높은 해석결과변수를 우수성 평가에 활용하였다. 기존의 실험결과를 토대로 이러한 중요 결과변수와 함께 이들에 대한 목표값이 도출되고 나면, 입력 공정조건 - 사용기체의 유량과 주변온도 조건 - 에 대해 실험계획(DOE,Design of Experiment)을 수립하고 목표성능을 구현하기 위한 최적설계를 수행할 수 있다. 일반적으로 CFD를 통해 최적의 설계나 공정조건을 탐색하는 작업은 1회의 CFD 계산시간이 매우 오래 소요되기 때문에 쉽지 않다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 CFD와 DOE의 적절한 조합을 통해 적은 수의 해석을 가지고도 원하는 결과를 효율적으로 얻는 것이 가능함을 입증하고자 한다. 본 발표에서는 아직 이러한 연구가 완성되지 않은 시점에서 제반 연구개요를 소개하고 현 시점까지의 연구 결과 및 향후 계획을 소개하고자 한다.

$Mg(OH)_2$ particles were prepared by precipitation and a hydrothermal treatment to examine the effect of $MgCl_2$ concentration, alkali type and concentration, temperature, hydrothermal treatment on the formation of $Mg(OH)_2$ particles using full factorial design, as one of DOE (Design of experiment) methods. The primary particle size is similar to the secondary particle size for the samples after the hydrothermal treatment, where the average particle size of $Mg(OH)_2$ increased with increasing the concentration of $MgCl_2$ and hydrothermal temperature and decreasing alkali/Mg molar ratio. On the other hand, for the samples prepared from precipitation, the secondary particle size is larger than the primary particles due to aggregation. The difference in alkaline source is that the particles prepared from $NH_4OH$ exhibit the larger size with better dispersion than those from NaOH. Low density polyethylene and ethylene-co-vinyl acetate (LDPE-EVA) resin composed of the smaller secondary particle size of $Mg(OH)_2$ shows a higher limited oxygen index (LOI) at 50 and 55% loading, but the smaller primary particle size may result in a better grade in UL-94 tests. At the high loading of 60%, all samples with any preparation methods exhibit V-0 grade but the LOI value depends on not only primary particle size but also dispersion state.

The results of prediction model and optimization point using the canonical analysis in order to obtain the optimal operation conditions were $Y_1$ [% of NDMA removal] = $117+21X_1-0.3X_2-17.2X_3+{2.43X_1}^2+{0.001X_2}^2+{3.2X_3}^2-0.08X_1X_2-1.6X_1X_3-0.05X_2X_3$ ($R^2$= 96%, Adjusted $R^2$ = 88%) and 99.3% ($X_1:\;4.5\;mW/cm^2$, $X_2:\;190\;uM$, $X_3:\;3.2$), $Y_2$ [DMA conc] = $-101+18.5X_1+0.4X_2+21X_3-{3.3X_1}^2-{0.01X_2}^2-{1.5X_3}^2-0.01X_1X_2+0.07X_1X_3-0.01X_2X_3$ ($R^2$= 99.4%, 수정 $R^2$ = 95.7%) and 35.2 uM ($X_1$: 3 $mW/cm^2$, $X_2$: 220 uM, $X_3$: 6.3), $Y_3$ [DMF conc] = $-6.2+0.2X_1+0.02X_2+2X_3-0.26X_1^2-0.01X_2^2-0.2X_3^2-0.004X_1X_2+0.1X_1X_3-0.02X_2X_3$ ($R^2$= 98%, Adjusted $R^2$ = 94.4%) and 3.7 uM ($X_1:\;4.5\;$mW/cm^2$, $X_2:\;290\;uM$, $X_3:\;6.2$) and $Y_4$ [$NO_2$-N conc] = $-25+12.2X_1+0.15X_2+7.8X_3+{1.1X_1}^2+{0.001X_2}^2-{0.34X_3}^2+0.01X_1X_2+0.08X_1X_3-3.4X_2X_3$ ($R^2$= 98.5%, Adjusted $R^2$ = 95.7%) and 74.5 uM ($X_1:\;4.5\;mW/cm^2$, $X_2:\;220\;uM$, $X_3:\;3.1$). This study has demonstrated that the response surface methodology and the Box-Behnken statistical experiment design can provide statistically reliable results for decomposition and by-products of NDMA by the UV photolysis and also for determination of optimum conditions. Predictions obtained from the response functions were in good agreement with the experimental results indicating the reliability of the methodology used.

In this paper, we made a simple paper feeding system which is one of MTS (media transport system) and controllers. The plant has a flexible paper and two driving rollers and two driven rollers. The control system has two conventional PID controllers. Skew angle and feeding speed of MTS deteriorate the quality of feeding system. In order to control a feeding speed and skew of feeding paper, we control rotational velocity of two driving rollers. Therefore, this controller has two inputs and two outputs as MIMO (multi-input and multi-output) system. The control inputs were the feeding speed and the skew displacement of the paper. The control outputs were the rotational velocity to each driving roller. To find appropriate PID gains of two controllers, we proposed an optimization technique. We assume the system variables and performance of a whole system as follows. PID gains of two controllers for skew and feeding speed are system variables. System performance is both skew and feeding speed. We simulates to making mathematical correlation using global Kriging interpolation. To find appropriate value of system variables, optimization method is simulation in sequence as following method. First, the optimization solver simulates with DOE (design of experiment) tables to find correlation equation of both system variable and performances. Then, the solver guesses the appropriate values and simulates if the system variables are appropriate or not. If the result of validation doesn't satisfy the convergence and iteration tolerance, the solver makes a new Kriging models and iterates this sequence until satisfy the tolerances.

For depth machining in die and mold, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is used generally. To make deep hole and deep shape efficiently, cemented carbide endmill for depth machining is necessary. For this purpose, cemented carbide endmill was designed using design of experiment (DOE). To improve cutting performance, endmill was coated with multilayer surface treatment, TiAlCrSiN and TiAlCrN, for higher wear resistance. In order to evaluate the endmill, Transverse Rupture Strength (TRS) test was tried for investigating the relationship between surface treatment and strength in endmill body. Scratch test was also used for measuring adhesion force of each surface treatment. To evaluate hardness of surface treatment, Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) analysis was carried out. Wear test was executed for characteristics of each surface treatment in high temperature. Consequently, TiAlCrSiN was superior to the TiAlCrN coating in case of high temperature environment such as cutting.

The recent development of biofuel production technology facilitates the widespread use of bioethanol and biodiesel by mixing them with fossil fuels. However, the use of these new blended fuels in combustion could result in severe safety problems, such as fire and explosion. In this study, numerical simulation was performed on the well-stirred reactor (WSR) to simulate the autoignition temperature (AIT) in homogeneous combustion and clarify the effect of ethanol addition on the AIT, the most important property for assessing the potential for fire and explosion. Response surface methodology (RSM) was introduced as a design of experiment (DOE), enabling the AIT to be predicted and optimized systematically with respect to three independent variables: ethanol mole fraction, equivalence ratio, and pressure. The results show that the autoignition temperature primarily depends on the ethanol mole fraction and pressure, while the effects of the equivalence ratio are independent of the AIT. RSM accurately predicted the experimental AIT, indicating that this method can be used to effectively predict the key properties involved in fires and explosions.
