Distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon of different characteristics were formed to determine their optical constants in the visible wavelength range using a periodic square wave current between low and high current densities. The surface and cross-sectional SEM images of distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon were obtained using a cold field emission scanning electron microscope. The surface image of distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon indicates that the distributions of pores are even. The cross-sectional image illustrates that the multilayer of distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon exhibits a depth of few microns and applying of square current density during the etching process results two distinct refractive indices in the contrast. Distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon exhibited a porosity depth profile that related directly to the current-time profile used in etch. Its free-standing film was obtained by applying an electro-polishing current.

This paper descibes a micro groove machining process on the polyurethane biopolymer by KrF excimer laser. To investigate the etch charcteristics of polyurethane biopolymer quantitatively,laser system for ablation was installed with high precison moter and then polymer ablation experiment, in which paramteters were fluence,pulse repetition rate,numbers of pulses and assist gas, was carred out. In this experiment, we found out that the value of critical energy density for ablation is 30mJ/cmsup2/ and the etching rate is more dependent on the pulse number and fluence than any other pamameter. Finally, we machined micro grooves for fiexibility as width 300.mu.m depth 100.mu.m and port for micro-devices mounting as length 100.mu.m width 300.mu.m depth .mu.m on the outer wallof polyurethane biopolymer tube which is used as medical device.

The paste on the glass or fabrication of the PDP(Plasma Display Panel) barrier rib was selectively etched using focused A $r_{+}$ laser(λ=514 nm) and Nd:YAG(λ=532, 266 nm) laser irradiation. The depth of the etched grooves increase with increasing a laser fluence and decreasing a laser beam scan speed. Using second harmonic of Nd:YAG laser(532 nm) the etching threshold laser fluence was 6.5 mJ/c $m^2$ for the sample of PDP barrier rib. The thickness of 180 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of the sample on the glass was clearly removed without any damage on the glass substrate by fluence of 19.5J/c $m^2$beam scan speed of 20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ /s. In order to increase the etch rate of the barrier rib material barrier rib samples heated by a resistive heater during laser irradiation. The heated sample has many defects and becomes to be fragile. This imperfection of the structure compared to the sample without heat treatment allows the effective etching by the focused laser beam. The etch rates were 65${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s and 270 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s at room temperature and 20$0^{\circ}C$, respectively.y.

We have studied the anodic oxidation of silicon in the anisotropic etchant of EPW(Ethylenediamine, Pyrocatechol and Water) solution using the cyclic polarization technique. The samples have been characterized by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The results of cyclic polarization experiments show that the anodic oxides formed on p- and n-type silicon wafers break down at the same potential while breakdown does not occur up to open circuit potential in the case of $p^+$-Si. Strong etch-resistance of $p^+$-XPS. SIMS depth profiles suggest that the critical concentration of boron for etch-stop to occur appears to be much higher than what is widely believed.

This paper deals with a novel structure of poly-Si solar cell. A solar cell conversion efficiency was degraded by grain boundary effect in Polycrystalline silicon. To reduce grain boundary effect, we performed a preferential grain boundary etching, $POCl_3$ n-type emitter doping, and then ITO film growth on poly-Si. Among the various preferential etchants, Schimmel etch solution exhibited the best result having grain boundary etch depth about $10{\mu}m$. RF magnetron sputter grown ITO films showed a low resistivity of $10^{-4}\Omega-cm$ and high transmittance of 85%. With well fabricated poly-Si solar cells. we were able to achieve as high as 15% conversion efficiency at the input power of 20mW/$cm^2$.

Plasma etching can obtain less damaged etch surface than reactive ion etching. This study was performed to get anisotropic etching characteristics of Si using two step etching technique with C2CIF5 and SF6 gas mixture. The results show that the etch rate and aspect ratio of silicon was increased with increment of SF6 contents. The bulging phenomenon on trench side wall in the plasma one-step etching technique was eliminated by the two step etching technique. The anisotropy was decreased from 12(at 120m Torr) to 2.2(at 400m Torr) with increasing the chamber pressure. At the low rf power (350 watts) anisotrpy of silicon was obtained 7 lower than that of high rf power (650 watts. A:~9). In Summary we obtained anisotropic etching profiles of silicon with e 6\ulcornerm depth by using the plasma two-step etching technique.

The ablative decomposition mechanism of PMMA(polymethyt methacrylate), PET(polyethylene terephthalate) and PC(polycarbonate) with KrF excimer laser(λ: 248nm, pulse duration: 5ns) is investigated. The UV/Vis spectrometer analysis showed that PMMA is a weak absorber and PET, PC are a strong absorber at the wavelength of 248nm. The results(surface debris, melt, etch depth, etching shape) from drilling and direct writing experiments imply that ablation mechanism of PMMA is dominated by photothermal process, while that of PET, PC are dominated by photochemical process.

This paper reports a novel masking method with various mask materials for wet etching of glass. Various mask materials such as Cr/Au, Ti/Au, Polyimide and thick SU-8 photoresist were investigated for borosilicate glass (Borofloat33) etching in concentrated hydrofluoric acid (48% HF). Polyimide and thick SU-8 photoresist are not suitable as masking material due to its poor adhesion to glass surfaces. Titanium has good adhesion is suitable as the first layer to make multi-protective layers. The best protection was obtained with a combination of Ti/Au, polyimide and Ti/Au as masking material with etch depth of $350{\mu}m$ achieved.
