New Chip-on-glass technology to attach an Si chip directly on the glass substrate of LCD panel was studied with local heating method of the Si chip by using thin film heater fabricated on the Si chip. Square-shaped Cu thin film heater with the width of $150\;{\mu}m$, thickness of $0.8\;{\mu}m$, and total length of 12.15 mm was sputter-deposited on the $5\;mm{\times}5\;mm$ Si chip. With applying current of 0.9A for 60 sec to the Cu thin film heater, COG bonding of a Si chip to a glass substrate was successfully accomplished with reflowing the Sn-3.5Ag solder bumps on the Si chip.

Microfluidic single chip integrating thermopneumatic micropump and micro check valve are developed. The micropump and micorvalve are made of biocompatible materials, glass and PDMS, so as to be applicable to the biochip. By using the passive-type check valve, backward flow and fluid leakage are blocked and flow control is stable and precise. The chip is composed of three PDMS layers and a glass substrate. In the chip, flow channel and pump chamber were made on the PDMS layers by the replica molding technique and pump heater was made on the glass substrate by Cr/Au deposition. Diameter of the pump chamber is 7 mm and the width and depth of the channel are 200 and $180{\mu}m$, respectively. The PDMS layers chip and the heater deposited glass chip are combined by a jig and a clamp for pumping operation, and they are separable so that PDMS chip is used as a disposable but the heater chip is able to be used repeatedly. Pumping performance was simulated by CFD software and investigated experimentally. The performance was the best when the duty ratio of the applied voltage to the heater was 33%.

A new chip on glass(COG) technique by making use of a high power diode laser for LCD driver IC packaging of LCD has been developed. A laser joining technology of the connection of IC chip to glass panel has several advantages over conventional method such as hot plate joining: shorter process time, high reliability of joining, and better fur fine pitch joining. The reach time to cure temperature of ACF in laser joining is within 1 second. In this study, results show that the total process time of joining is reduced by halves than that of conventional method. The adhesion strength is mainly 100-250 N/cm. It is confirmed that the COG technology using high power diode laser joining can be applied to advanced LCDs with a fine pitch.

A new DNA purification chip is proposed and fabricated for the sample preparation of Nucleic Acid (NA) probe assay. The proposed DNA purification chip is fabricated using photosensitive glass substrate and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) cover fixture. We have successfully captured and eluted the DNA using the fabricated photosensitive glass chip. The fabricated DNA purification chip showed a binding capacity of $15ng/\textrm{cm}^2$and a minimum extractable input concentration of $100copies/200\muL$. The proposed DNA purification chip can be applied for low-cost, disposable sample preparation of NA probe assays.

Our precedent study has reported glass-PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) based biochip for the gene PCR (polymerase chain reaction). To prevent the contamination of bio sample, the once used biochip must not be used repeatedly. However, the fabrication cost of microheater and microsensor of the biochip was not cheap to use it as a disposable chip. This paper proposes new PCR-chip where the glass substrate integrated with the microheater and microsensor is detachable from the reaction chamber where the sample is injected. That makes it possible to reuse the glass substrate repeatedly. The performance of the proposed detachable PCR-chip was compared with that of the precedent monolithic PCR-chip. The results showed that the SRY (sex determining Y chromosome) gene PCR was successfully performed in the detachable chip compared with the monolithic chip. However, the more efforts to improve the efficiency of surface treatment of PDMS chip are needed to increase the possibility of applying the detachable chip to the detecting of male infertility.

COG (Chip on Glass) technology using solder bump reflow has been investigated to attach IC chip directly on glass substrate of LCD panel. As It chip and LCD panel have to be heated to reflow temperature of the so]der bumps for COG bonding, it is necessary to use low-temperature solders to prevent the damage of liquid crystals of LCD panel. In this study, using the Sn-52In solder bumps of $40{\mu}m$ pitch size, solder joints between Si chip and glass substrate were made at temperature below $150^{\circ}C$. The contact resistance of the solder joint was $8.58m\Omega$, which was much lower than that of the joint made using the conventional ACF bonding technique. The Sn-52In solder joints with underfill showed excellent reliability at a hot humid environment.

We developed two kinds of the microchip for application to electrophoresis based on both glass and quartz employing the MEMS fabrications. The poly-Si layer deposited onto the bonding interface apart from channel regions can play a role as the optical slit cutting off the stray light in order to concentrate the UV ray, from which it is possible to improve the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of the detection on a chip. In the glass chip, the deposited poly-Si layer had an important function of the etch mask and provided the bonding surface properly enabling the anodic bonding. The glass wafer including more impurities than quartz one results in the higher surface roughness of the channel wall, which affects subsequently on the microflow behavior of the sample solutions. In order to solve this problem, we prepared here the mixed etchant consisting HF and $NH_4F$ solutions, by which the surface roughness was reduced. Both the shape and the dimension of each channel were observed, and the electroosmotic flow velocities were measured as 0.5 mm/s for quartz and 0.36 mm/s for glass channel by implementing the microchip electrophoresis. Applying the optical slit with poly-Si layer provides that the S/N ratio of the peak is increased as ca. 2 times for quartz chip and ca. 3 times for glass chip. The maximum UV absorbance is also enhanced with ca. 1.6 and 1.7 times, respectively.

In the use of glass fiber reinforced plastics(GFRP) it is often necessary to cut the components, but the cutting of GFRP is often made difficult by the delamination of the compositions and short tool life. Experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the chip formation of the glass fiber reinforced plastics during orthogonal cutting. The chip formation process, cutting force, and thrust force were studied. The chip formation processes were studied through the use of quick-stop device. Chip-tool contact areas were obtained with the use of the quick-stop device, and observed using optical microscopy after polishing. Cutting force and thrust force were measured through the use of the tool dynamometer.

Micro fluid channels are machined on quartz glass using powder blasting, and the machining characteristics of the channels are experimentally evaluated. The powder blasting process parameters such as injection pressure, abrasive particle size and density, stand-off distance, number of nozzle scanning, and shape/size of the required patterns affect machining results. In this study, the influence of the number of nozzle scanning, abrasive particle size, and blasting pressure on the formation of micro channels is investigated. Machined shapes and surface roughness are measured, and the results are discussed. Through the experiments and analysis, LOC are ettectinely machined on quartz glass using powder blasting.

Chip-on-glass technology to attach IC chip directly on the glass substrate of flat panel display was studied by using induction heating body in AC magnetic field. With applying magnetic field of 230 Oe at 14 kHz, the temperature of an induction heating body made with Cu electrodeposited film of 5 mm${\times}$5 mm size and $600{\mu}m$ thickness reached to $250^{\circ}C$ within 60 seconds. However, the temperature of the glass substrate was maintained below $100^{\circ}C$ at a distance larger than 2 mm from the Cu induction heating body. COG bonding was successfully accomplished with reflow of Sn-3.5Ag solder bumps by applying magnetic field of 230 Oe at 14 kHz for 120 seconds to a Cu induction heating body of 5mm${\times}$5mm size and $600{\mu}m$ thickness.
