Porous ceramics are used in various industrial applications based on their physical properties, including isolation, storage, and thermal barrier properties. However, traditional manufacturing environments require additional steps to control artificial pores and limit deformities, because they rely on limited molding methods. To overcome this drawback, many studies have recently focused on fabricating porous structures using additive manufacturing techniques. In particular, the binder jet technology enables high porosity and various types of designs, and avoids the limitations of existing manufacturing processes. In this study, we investigated process optimization for manufacturing porous ceramic filters using the binder jet technology. In binder jet technology, the flowability of the powder used as the base material is an important factor, as well as compatibility with the binder in the process and for the final print. Flow agents and secondary binders were used to optimize the flowability and compatibility of the powders. In addition, the effects of the amount of added glass frit, and changes in sintering temperature on the microstructure, porosity and mechanical properties of the final printed product were investigated.

고온 열처리 후에도 안정적인 발색 효과를 가지는 디지털 4원색(cyan, magenta, yellow, black; CMYK)의 세라믹 잉크를 활용한 세라믹 잉크젯 프린팅 기술은 다양한 제품의 디지털 이미지를 정확하고 빠르게 인쇄 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 건축 및 세라믹 산업 분야에서 기존 공정을 빠르게 대체하고 있다. 세라믹 잉크젯 프린팅 기술은 무기 안료의 분산 안정성과 함께 적절한 점도와 표면 장력을 필요로 하며 기존에는 이러한 요구조건에 부합하는 유기용매 기반의 잉크가 주로 사용되어져 왔으나 최근에는 VOCs가 발생하지 않는 환경친화적인 세라믹 잉크 소재에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $CoAl_2O_4$ cyan 발색 무기안료와 alumino boro-silicate 유리 분말을 사용하여 친환경적인 수계 세라믹 복합잉크를 합성하고, 수계 시스템에서의 유변학적 물성과 분산성을 최적화하여 잉크젯 프린팅 공정에서의 토출성 및 프린팅 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 그 결과, 합성된 수계 세라믹 복합잉크는 점도 및 표면장력 조절을 통해 satellite drop이 발생하지 않는 토출 거동을 보였으며, 유리 기판 위에서도 높은 접촉각으로 인해 잉크 퍼짐 현상이 최소화되며 프린팅되는 것을 확인하였다.

Fully sealed field emission display in size of 4.5 inch has been fabricated using single-wall carbon nanotubes-organic vehicle com-posite. The fabricated display were fully scalable at low temperature below 415$^{\circ}C$ and CNTs were vertically aligned using paste squeeze and surface rubbing techniques. The turn-on fields of 1V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and field emis-sion current of 1.5mA at 3V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ (J=90${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$)were observed. Brightness of 1800cd/$m^2$ at 3.7V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was observed on the entire area of 4.5-inch panel from the green phosphor-ITO glass. The fluctuation of the current was found to be about 7% over a 4.5-inch cath-ode area. This reliable result enables us to produce large area full-color flat panel dis-play in the near future. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted much attention because of their unique elec-trical properties and their potential applica-tions [1, 2]. Large aspect ratio of CNTs together with high chemical stability. ther-mal conductivity, and high mechanical strength are advantageous for applications to the field emitter [3]. Several results have been reported on the field emissions from multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs) and single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) grown from arc discharge [4, 5]. De Heer et al. have reported the field emission from nan-otubes aligned by the suspension-filtering method. This approach is too difficult to be fully adopted in integration process. Recently, there have been efforts to make applications to field emission devices using nanotubes. Saito et al. demonstrated a car-bon nanotube-based lamp, which was oper-ated at high voltage (10KV) [8]. Aproto-type diode structure was tested by the size of 100mm $\times$ 10mm in vacuum chamber [9]. the difficulties arise from the arrangement of vertically aligned nanotubes after the growth. Recently vertically aligned carbon nanotubes have been synthesized using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition(CVD) [6, 7]. Yet, control of a large area synthesis is still not easily accessible with such approaches. Here we report integra-tion processes of fully sealed 4.5-inch CNT-field emission displays (FEDs). Low turn-on voltage with high brightness, and stabili-ty clearly demonstrate the potential applica-bility of carbon nanotubes to full color dis-plays in near future. For flat panel display in a large area, car-bon nanotubes-based field emitters were fabricated by using nanotubes-organic vehi-cles. The purified SWNTs, which were syn-thesized by dc arc discharge, were dispersed in iso propyl alcohol, and then mixed with on organic binder. The paste of well-dis-persed carbon nanotubes was squeezed onto the metal-patterned sodalime glass throuhg the metal mesh of 20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size and subse-quently heat-treated in order to remove the organic binder. The insulating spacers in thickness of 200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ are inserted between the lower and upper glasses. The Y\ulcornerO\ulcornerS:Eu, ZnS:Cu, Al, and ZnS:Ag, Cl, phosphors are electrically deposited on the upper glass for red, green, and blue colors, respectively. The typical sizes of each phosphor are 2~3 micron. The assembled structure was sealed in an atmosphere of highly purified Ar gas by means of a glass frit. The display plate was evacuated down to the pressure level of 1$\times$10\ulcorner Torr. Three non-evaporable getters of Ti-Zr-V-Fe were activated during the final heat-exhausting procedure. Finally, the active area of 4.5-inch panel with fully sealed carbon nanotubes was pro-duced. Emission currents were character-ized by the DC-mode and pulse-modulating mode at the voltage up to 800 volts. The brightness of field emission was measured by the Luminance calorimeter (BM-7, Topcon).

열전도성이 우수한 AlN 기판에 형성되는 Ag계 후막도체의 접착강도에 미치는 기판 표면조도 및 소결 온도의 영향을 연구하였다. 표면조도(R_a)가 0.5인 AlN 기판을 사용하여 제조한 후막도체의 접착강도가 이보다 표면조도가 크거나 또는 작은 기판을 사용하여 제조한 후막도체의 경우보다 높게 나타났다. 표면조도가 0.5보다 작은 기판의 경우 Ag 후막도체와 기판 사이의 접촉면적이 표면조도가 0.5인 기판보다 상대적으로 작아 접착강도가 작게 나타났다. 한편, 표면조도가 0.5보다 큰 기판을 사용한 경우에는 도체막이 기판에 완전히 접착되지 못하는 현상이 나타났고, 이로 인해서 접착강도가 적게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 850℃에서 소결하여 얻어진 Ag계 후막도체 막의 표면 평활도가 다른 소결 온도에서 소결하여 얻어진 도체막의 평활도에 비해 가장 우수하였고, 이로 인해 도체막의 접착강도가 가장 높게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

Multi-layer ceramic capacitors as decoupling capacitor were fabricated by dielectric composition with a high dielectric constant. The fabricated decoupling capacitors were embedded in the PCB of the 10G RF transceiver module and evaluated for the characteristics of electrical noise by the level of AC input voltage. In order to further improve the electrical properties of the $BaTiO_3$ based composite, glass frit, MgO, $Y_2O_3$, $Mn_3O$, $V_2O_5$, $BaCO_3$, $SiO_2$, and $Al_2O_3$ were used as additives. The electrical properties of the composites were determined by various amounts of additives and optimum sintering temperature. As a result of the optimized composite, it was possible to obtain a density of $5.77g/cm^3$, a dielectric constant of 1994, and an insulation resistance of $2.91{\times}10^{12}{\Omega}$ at an additive content of 5wt% and a sintering temperature of $1250^{\circ}C$. After forming a $2.5{\mu}m$ green sheet using the doctor blade method, a total of 77 layers were laminated and sintered at $1180^{\circ}C$. A decoupling capacitor with a size of $0.6mm(W){\times}0.3mm(L){\times}0.3mm(T)$ (width, length and thickness, respectively) and a capacitance of 100 nF was embedded using a PCB process for the 10G RF Transceiver modules. In the range of AC input voltage 400mmV @ 500kHz to 2200mV @ 900kHz, the embedded 10G RF Transceiver modules evaluated that it has better electrical performance than the non-embedded modules.
