본 연구에서는 Sn-58Bi 솔더를 이용한 경성 인쇄 회로 기판 (Rigid printed circuit board, RPCB)과 연성 인쇄회로 기판 (Flexible printed circuit board, FPCB) 간의 열압착 접합 시, 접합 조건에 따른 기계적 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 접합 온도와 접합 시간을 변수로 열압착 접합을 실시하여 $90^{\circ}$ 필 테스트(Peel test)를 통해 접합 강도를 측정하고, 단면과 파단면을 관찰하였다. 접합 온도가 증가할수록 접합 강도가 증가하였으며, 접합 시간에 따른 접합 강도의 변화 또한 관찰할 수 있었다. 접합 시간이 증가하면서 접합부의 파괴에 영향을 미치는 요인이 솔더 층에서 금속간 화합물(Intermetallic compound, IMC) 층으로 변화하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 필 테스트 과정의 F-x(Force-distance) curve를 통해 파괴 에너지를 계산하여 금속간 화합물이 접합 강도에 미치는 영향을 평가하였으며, 본 연구에서 $195^{\circ}C$, 7초 조건이 접합 강도와 파괴 에너지가 가장 높게 나타나는 최적 접합 조건으로 도출되었다.

This paper presents the fabrication and performance measurement of a temperature sensor array on a flexible substrate attachable to a curved surface using MEMS technology. Specifically, the fabrication uses the well-developed printed circuit board fabrication technology for complex electrode definition. The temperature sensor array are lifted off with a $10{\times}10$ matrix in a $50\;mm{\times}50\;mm$ to visualize temperature distribution. Copper is used as temperature sensing material to measure the change in resistances with temperature increase. In a thermal oven with temperature control, the temperature sensor array is Characterized. The constant slope of resistance change is obtained and temperature distribution is measured from the relationship between resistance and temperature.

For the application of flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), electroplated copper is required to have low surface roughness and residual stress. In the paper, the effects of surface roughness and residual stress of electroplated copper as thick as $8{\mu}m$ were studied on organic additives such as inhibitor, leveler and accelerator. Polyimide film coated with sputtered copper was used as a substrate. Surface roughness and surface morphology were measured by 3D-laser surface analysis and FESEM, respectively. Residual stress was calculated by Stoney's equation after measuring radius curvature of specimen. The addition of additives except high concentration of accelerator in the electrolyte decreased surface roughness of electroplated copper film. Such a tendency was explained by the function of additives among which the inhibitor and the leveler inhibit electroplating on a whole surface and prolusions, respectively. The accelerator plays a role in accelerating the electroplating in valley parts. The inhibitors and the leveler increased residual stress, whereas the accelerator decreased it. It was thought to be related with entrapped additives on electroplated copper film rather than the preferred orientation of electroplated copper film. The reason why additives lead to residual stress remains for the future work.

본 논문에서는 FPC(Flexible Printed Circuit) 케이블에 적층된 나선형 인덕터를 내장하여 다기능 케이블을 위한 공통 모드 필터를 제안하였다. 공통 모드 필터가 내장된 FPC 케이블은 별도의 SMD(Surface Mounted Device) 필터 없이 연성 케이블과 공통 모드 차단 특성을 가짐으로서, 다기능 케이블이라는 새로운 개념을 제시한다. 내장된 공통 모드 필터는 광대역의 공통 모드 차단 대역을 가지고 손실이 큰 페라이트와 같은 자성 물질을 사용하지 않아 차동 모드 삽입 손실 및 반사 손실이 향상되었다. 3-turn 인덕터를 가진 공통 모드 필터는 공통 모드차단 대역이 $0.4{\sim}3.12GHz$이며, 페라이트를 적용한 상용 LTCC(Low Temperature Co-fire Ceramic) 공통 모드 필터에 비해 3 GHz에서 1.95 dB, 8 GHz에서 6.97 dB의 향상된 차동 모드 삽입 손실을 갖는다.

A novel method to implement a birdcage-type receiving coil sensor for use in a magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) system has been demonstrated employing a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) fabrication technique. Unlike the conventional methods, the two-dimensional shape of the coil sensor is first implemented as a FPCB and then it is attached to the surface of a cylindrical supporting structure to implement the three-dimensional birdcage-type coil sensor. The proposed method is very effective to implement object-specific MRI coil sensors especially for small animal measurements in research and preclinical applications since the existing well-developed FPCB-based techniques can easily meet the requirements on accuracies and costs during coil implement process. The performances of the coil sensor verified through $^1H$ 1.5T MRI measurements for small animals and it showed excellent characteristics by providing a high spatial precision and a high signal-to-noise ratio.

In this paper, we present an implemented serial 40-Gb/s receiver optical subassembly (ROSA) module by employing a proposed TO-CAN package and flexible printed circuit board (FPCB). The TO-CAN package employs an L-shaped metal support to provide a straight line signal path between the TO-CAN package and the FPCB. In addition, the FPCB incorporates a signal line with an open stub to alleviate signal distortion owing to an impedance mismatch generated from the soldering pad attached to the main circuit board. The receiver sensitivity of the ROSA module measures below -9 dBm for 40 Gb/s at an extinction ratio of 7 dB and a bit error rate of $10^{-12}$.

본 연구에서는 interlayer로 Sn을 사용하여 경성 인쇄 회로 기판(Rigid printed circuit board, RPCB)과 연성 인쇄 회로 기판(Flexible printed circuit board, FPCB) 간의 열압착 접합(Thermo-compression bonding) 조건을 최적화하는 연구를 진행하였다. 접합에 앞서 FPCB를 다양한 온도와 시간조건 하에서 Sn이 용융된 솔더 배스 안에서 침지(Dipping) 공정을 수행하였고, 열압착법을 이용하여 FPCB와 RPCB의 접합을 수행하였다. FPCB/RPCB 접합부의 접합 강도를 $90^{\circ}$ 필 테스트(Peel test)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과 $270^{\circ}C$, 1s의 침지 조건에서 FPCB의 polyimide(PI)와 Cu 전극 계면에서 파단되고, 이때, 최대 박리 강도를 얻었다. FPCB와 RPCB의 열압착 접합시 주요 변수로는 압력, 온도, 시간이 있으며, 특히 온도의 증가에 따라 접합 강도가 크게 증가하였다. 접합부 계면 관찰 결과, 접합 온도와 시간이 증가함에 따라 접합 면적이 증가하였으며, 이로 인해 접합 강도가 증가하는 것으로 사료된다. 필 테스트 과정에서 나타나는 F-x(Forcedisplacement) 곡선을 토대로 산출한 파괴 에너지와 접합 강도는 $280^{\circ}C$, 10s의 접합 조건에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 이 조건이 최적 접합 조건으로 도출되었다.

As the demand for fine-pitch FPCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board) increases, so do the number of applications of sputtered FCCL (Flexible Copper Clad Laminate). Furthermore, as the width between the circuit patterns decreases, greater defects are observed in the migration phenomenon. In this study we observed changes in ion migration in real circuit-pattern width using sputtered FCCL. We found that as the applied voltage and residue thickness of the NiCr seeds increase, ion migration occurs faster. If the NiCr seed layer thickens due to a high cathode power and long deposition time while being sputtered, the NiCr will form a residue that quickly becomes a factor for incurring ion migration.

The Passive Auxiliary Feedwater System(PAFS) is one of the advanced safety concepts adopted in the Advanced Power Reactor Plus(APR+). To validate the operational performance of the PAFS, detailed understanding of a boiling heat transfer on horizontal tube outside is of great importance. Especially, in the mechanistic boiling heat transfer model, it is important to visualize the phenomena but there are some limitations with conventional experimental approaches. In the present study, we devised a heater based on the Flexible Printed Circuit Board (FPCB) for a more comprehensive visualization and subsequently, a digital image processing technique for the bubble motion measurement was established. Using the measurement technique, important parameters of the nucleate boiling are analyzed.

The most costly and time-consuming process in the fabrication of today's multi-layer circuit board is drilling interconnection holes between adjacent layers and via holes within a layer. Decreasing size of via holes being demanded and growing number of via holes per panel increase drilling costs. Component density and electronic functionality of today's multi-layer circuit boards can be improved with the introduction of cost-effective, variable depth laser drilled blind micro via holes, and interconnection holes. Laser technology is being quickly adopted into the circuit board industry but can be accelerated with the introduction of a true production laser drilling system. In order to get optimized condition for drilling to FPCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board), we use various drill pattern as drill step. For productivity, we investigate drill path optimization method. And for the precise drilling the thermal drift of scanner and temperature change of scan system are tested.
