Focused Ion Beam(FIB) systems is a useful tool for the fabrication of micro-nano scale structures. In this study, the effects of FIB etching on the Au microstructure are systematically investigated. As the fabrication parameters, ion dose, dwell time and beam overlap ratio are studied. First, the increases of Ga ion dose makes the milling yield higher and the sidewall of milling profile steeper. Dwell time is found to have little effects on the milling profile due to the relatively large milling area of $1\times1{\mu}m^2$ used in this study. However, beam overlap significantly affects not only milling rate but also milling profile. As the beam overlap ratio changes from positive to negative, the development of regular cross-stripe patterns at the bottom with low milling rate is observed.

Electrospinning method has easy preparation of nanofibers with a simple and versatile technique. Electrospun nanofiber is widely used by the simple approach and have great potentials in the numerous applicaitons of medicine, photonics, catalysts, sensors, etc. including advantage of their specific characteristics such as large surface to volume ratio. This paper focused on the fabrication of cobalt electrospun nanofibrer for applications such as electronic, optical and mechanical devices by metal based material. We fabricated cobalt nanofibers on aluminum foil by an electrospinning method. The electrospinning process was performed at a high voltage, 8 kV. The distance between the needle tip and the solution surface in the bath was 5 cm. The PVB - cobalt based nitrate solution was filled in a 10 mL syringe connected to a 22 gauge needle. We confirmed electrospun cobalt nanofiber after annealing process by SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) analysis. The concept design, fabrication and results of mapping measurements are reported.

A new microlens fabrication technique, the excimer laser lithography is developed. This bases on the pulsed laser irradiation and the transfer of a chromium-on-quartz reticle on to the polymer surface with a proper projection optics system. An excimer laser lithography system with 1/4 and 1/20 demagnification ratios was constructed first, and the photoablation characteristics of the PMMA and Polyimide were experimentally examined using this system. For two different shapes of microlenses, a spherical lens and a cylindrical lens, fabrication techniques were investigated. One for the spherical lens is a combination of the mask pattern projection and fraction effect. The other for the cylindrical lens is a combination of the mask pattern projection and the relative movement of a specimen. The result shows that various shapes of micro optical components can be easily fabricated by the excimer laser lithography.

In order to increase the productivity of conventional microstereolithography (MSL), digital micromirror device($DMD^{TM}$) based MSL is proposed and the feasibility of 3D rnicrocomponents fabrication is demonstrated in two ways; free surface and constrained surface techniques. The clearness of optical images at the exposure plane was confirmed for the fabrication of an accurate 3D structure by controlling the dynamic viscosity of FA1260T and the shape accuracy of a structure fabricated with epoxy-based resin ($Somos^{\circledR}$ 10120) was analyzed to determine the optimum curing conditions. After finding the appropriate process variables, the feasibility of multiple microstructures is then demonstrated. Due to the high productivity, MSL using $DMD^{TM}$ showed the potential to replace the existing focused laser beam MSL.

A constitutive model was proposed to study the effects of fiber waviness on the elastic properties of unidirectional composite materials. The predictions showed that the degree of fiber waviness significantly affected the elastic properties of composite materials. A special fabrication technique was developed for thic composite materials with various fiber waviness ratios. Tensile, compressive and flexural tests were conducted to obtain the elastic properties of composite materials with fiber waviness experimentally. The experimental result were in good agreement with the predictions.

본 연구는 입자 내에서 패치의 위치를 정교하게 제어할 수 있는 새로운 친환경 공정기술에 관한 것이다. 물리화학적으로 안정한 소재를 활용한 미세성형 기술과 패치의 위치를 제어할 수 있는 선택적 제거방법을 결합하여 수행하였다. 미세성형 기술에는 이방성 구조의 패치입자의 형상을 안정적으로 구현하기 위하여, perfluoropolyether (PFPE) 마이크로몰드를 사용하였다. 이를 통하여, 소수성의 패치소재가 poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) 마이크로몰드 내로 확산되는 문제를 극복할 수 있었다. 그리고, 이는 패치의 우수한 형상 안정성과 소수성 패치소재를 이용한 패치입자 제조를 가능하게 하였다. 마지막으로 패치의 위치가 서로 다른 12종의 패치입자를 제조하여 향상된 공정 안정성을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 미세성형 기술과 패치의 선택적 제거방법은 패치의 위치가 선택적으로 제어된 이방성의 입자를 적은 공정의 수를 거쳐 빠르게 제조할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 또한 제조된 패치입자는 방향성이 유도된 자기조립 분야, 조절이 가능한 약물 전달 시스템 등의 다양한 연구에 널리 활용될 수 있으리라 기대한다.

섬유강화복합재료의 품질향상을 위하여 제조공정중에 발생하게 되는 층간 분리 및 기공 등의 결함이 온라인상에서 검출되어야 한다. 일반적으로 섬유강화복합재료의 비파괴 평가에 있어서 초음파 평가기법이 널리 이용되고 있으나 기존의 초음파 평가 기법은 초음파 전파를 위하여 접촉이 이루어져야 하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 기존의 초음파 평가기법은 비접촉의 기법이 아니므로 제조공정중에 적용할 수 없다. 비접촉식의 초음파 평가 기법을 구현하기 위하여 광학적 기법의 레이저 기법이 적용되었으며 본 연구에서는 레이저 유도 초음파 발생 기법과 레이저 간섭계를 이용한 수신기법이 섬유강화 복합재료 판재에서 적용되었다. 레이저 유도 초음파는 펄스레이저에 의한 복합재료 표면의 순간적인 가열과 이에 의한 열변형으로 발생되어 전파되며 본 연구에 가속도계, AE센서 등 주파수 범위가 다른 수신센서를 이용하여 전파방향 변화에 따른 유도 초음파를 수신하였으며 수신된 유도초음파의 전파방향에 따른 전파속도를 비교하였다. 또한 비접촉 수신기법으로 레이저 간섭계를 이용하여 탄소섬유강화 복합재료에서의 초음파를 수신하고 그 주파수 특성을 분석하였다.

Sol-gel preparation technique using a chemical reaction of metal alkoxides has been widely used for the fabrication of various materials including ceramics. However, its mechanism has been studied till now because a number of chemical ways are possible from various alkoxides and additives. In this study, the mechanism of hydrolysis, condensation, and polymerization of alkoxides were investigated from the fabrication of lead-zirconate-titanate (PbZr$\_$x/Ti$\_$l-x/O$_3$; PZT) thin film that is used as various micro-actuator, transducer, and sensor because of its high electro-mechanical coupling factors and thermal stability. Furthermore, the fabrication process and characteristics of self-patternable PZT film using photosensitive stabilizer were studied in order to resolve the problem of physical damage and properties degradation during dry etching for device fabrication. Using an optimum condition to prepare the self-patternable PZT film, more than 5000 ${\AA}$ thick self-patternable PZT film could be fabricated by three times coating. The PZT film showed 28.4 ${\mu}$c/cm$^2$ of remnant polarization (Pr) and 37.0 kV/cm of coercive field (E$\_$c/).

The scaffold serves as 3D substrate for the cells adhesion and mechanical support for the newly grown tissue by maintaining the 3D structure for the regeneration of tissue and organ. In this paper, we proposed integrated scaffold fabrication system using multi-axis rapid prototyping (RP) technology. It can fabricate various types of scaffolds: arbitrary sculptured shape, primitive shape, and tube shape scaffolds by layered dispensing biocompatible/ biodegradable polymer strands in designated patterns. In order to fabricate the 3D scaffold, we need to generate the plotting path way for the scaffold fabrication system. We design a data processing program - scaffold plotting software, which can convert the 3D STL file, primitive and tube model images into the NC code for the system. Finally, we fabricated the customized 3D scaffolds with high accuracy using the plotting software and the fabrication system.

This paper reports the enhanced fabrication and characterization of a $3{\times}3$ array tactile actuator composed of cellulose acetate. The array tactile actuator, with dimensions of $15{\times}15{\times}1mm^3$, consists of 9 pillar-supported cells made from a cellulose-acetate molding. The fabrication process and performance test along with the results for the suggested actuator are explained. To improve the cell-array fabrication, a laser cut was adopted after the molding process. The displacement of the unit cell increased the input voltage and frequency. Various top masses are added onto the actuator to mimic the touch force, and the acceleration of the actuator is measured under actuation. When 2 kV is applied to the actuator, the maximum acceleration is 0.64 g, which is above the vibrotactile threshold. The actuation mechanism is associated with the electrostatic force between the top and bottom electrodes.
