Amorphous silicon (a-Si) films are used in a broad range of solar cell, flat panel display, and sensor. Because of the greater ease of deposition and lower processing temperature, thin films are widely used for thin film transistors (TFTs). However, they have lower stability under the exposure of visible light and because of their low field effect mobility ($\mu$$_{FE}$ ) , less than 1 c $m^2$/Vs, they require a driving IC in the external circuits. On the other hand, polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin films have superiority in $\mu$$_{FE}$ and optical stability in comparison to a-Si film. Many researches have been done to obtain high performance poly-Si because conventional methods such as excimer laser annealing, solid phase crystallization and metal induced crystallization have several difficulties to crystallize. In this paper, a new crystallization process using a molybdenum substrate has been proposed. As we use a flexible substrate, high temperature treatment and roll-to-roll process are possible. We have used a high temperature process above 75$0^{\circ}C$ to obtain poly-Si films on molybdenum substrates by a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) of the amorphous silicon (a-Si) layers. The properties of high temperature crystallized poly-Si studied, and poly-Si has been used for the fabrication of TFT. By this method, we are able to achieve high crystal volume fraction as well as high field effect mobility.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate types and characteristics of chemical substances used in LCD(Liquid crystal display) panel manufacturing process. Methods: The LCD panel manufacturing process is divided into the fabrication(fab) process and module process. The use of chemical substances by process was investigated at four fab processes and two module processes at two domestic TFT-LCD(Thin film transistor-Liquid crystal display) panel manufacturing sites. Results: LCD panels are manufactured through various unit processes such as sputtering, chemical vapor deposition(CVD), etching, and photolithography, and a range of chemicals are used in each process. Metal target materials including copper, aluminum, and indium tin oxide are used in the sputtering process, and gaseous materials such as phosphine, silane, and chlorine are used in CVD and dry etching processes. Inorganic acids such as hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid are used in wet etching process, and photoresist and developer are used in photolithography process. Chemical substances for the alignment of liquid crystal, such as polyimides, liquid crystals, and sealants are used in a liquid crystal process. Adhesives and hardeners for adhesion of driver IC and printed circuit board(PCB) to the LCD panel are used in the module process. Conclusions: LCD panels are produced through dozens of unit processes using various types of chemical substances in clean room facilities. Hazardous substances such as organic solvents, reactive gases, irritants, and toxic substances are used in the manufacturing processes, but periodic workplace monitoring applies only to certain chemical substances by law. Therefore, efforts should be made to minimize worker exposure to chemical substances used in LCD panel manufacturing process.

본 연구에서는 상용화된 2.4 GHz 영역대에서 사용되어지는 WiFi용 DPDT(Double Pole Double throw) switch 칩을 laser 비아 가공과 도금 공정을 이용하여 폴리머 기판내에 내장시켜 그 특성을 분석하였으며 통상적으로 실장되는 wire 본딩방식으로 패키징된 기판과 특성차이를 분석 비교하였다. 폴리머는 FR4기판과 아지노 모토사의 ABF(Ajinomoto build up film)를 이용하여 패턴도금법으로 회로를 형성하였다. ABF공정의 최적화를 위해 폴리머의 경화정토를 DSC (Differenntial Scanning Calorimetry) 및 SEM (Scanning Electron microscope)으로 분석하여 경화도에 따라 도금된 구리패턴과의 접착력을 평가하였다. ABF의 가경화도가 $80\sim90%$일 경우 구리층과 최적의 접착강도를 보였으며 진공 열압착공정을 통해 기공(void)없이 칩을 내장할 수 있었다. 내장된 기관과 와이어 본딩된 기판의 측정은 S 파라미터를 이용하여 삽입손실과 반사손실을 비교 분석하였으며 그 결과 삽입손실은 두 경우 유사하게 나타났지만 반사손실의 경우 칩이 내장된 경우 6 GHz 까지 -25 dB 이하로 안정적으로 나오는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

최근 모바일 응용 제품에 사용되는 반도체 패키지는 고밀도, 초소형 및 다기능을 요구하고 있다. 기존의 웨이퍼 레벨 패키지(wafer level package, WLP)는 fan-in 형태로, I/O 단자가 많은 칩에 사용하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 팬 아웃 웨이퍼 레벨 패키지(fan-out wafer level package, FOWLP)가 새로운 기술로 부각되고 있다. FOWLP에서 가장 심각한 문제 중의 하나는 휨(warpage)의 발생으로, 이는 FOWLP의 두께가 기존 패키지에 비하여 얇고, 다이 레벨 패키지 보다 휨의 크기가 매우 크기 때문이다. 휨의 발생은 후속 공정의 수율 및 웨이퍼 핸들링에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 FOWLP의 휨의 특성과 휨에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자에 대해서 수치해석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 휨을 최소화하기 위하여 여러 종류의 epoxy mold compound (EMC) 및 캐리어 재질을 사용하였을 경우에 대해서 휨의 크기를 비교하였다. 또한 FOWLP의 주요 공정인 EMC 몰딩 후, 그리고 캐리어 분리(detachment) 공정 후의 휨의 크기를 각각 해석하였다. 해석 결과, EMC 몰딩 후에 발생한 휨에 가장 영향을 미치는 인자는 EMC의 CTE이며, EMC의 CTE를 낮추거나 Tg(유리천이온도)를 높임으로서 휨을 감소시킬 수 있다. 캐리어 재질로는 Alloy42 재질이 가장 낮은 휨을 보였으며, 따라서 가격, 산화 문제, 열전달 문제를 고려하여 볼 때 Alloy 42 혹은 SUS 재질이 캐리어로서 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the physical properties of visible light curing Glass Ionomer cement for restorative esthetic filling. The control group was the autopolymerizing GC Fuji II Glass Ionomer cement (2.2: 1 P/L ratio) and the experimental groups were made by following procedure. To induce the polymerization by visible light, the powder of GC Fuji II GI cement and the liquid of Vitrabond for base & liner were mixed in an amalgam capsule with 2.5:1, 3.0:1, 3.5:1 P/L ratio (% wt/wt). After fabrication of specimens, compressive strength, fracture toughness ($K_{IC}$) Scanning Electron Microscope and X-ray Diffraction, water-leachable content, marginal leakage and surface roughness were studied. The results were as follows: 1. Only experimental No. 1 group (visible light curing) showed less compressive strength than control group 1 hour after curing. Strength was increased with aging in all groups, so the compressive strength of light curing groups was no less than that of autopolymerizing group after 3 weeks. 2. Experimental No.3 group (visible light curing) was inferior to No.2 group (visible light curing) in fracture resistance but light curing groups were more resistant to fracture than autopolymerizing group and showed ductile fracture pattern as compared with the brittle fracture pattern of autopolymerizing group. 3. From scanning electron microscopic image, various sized unreacted powder particles, surrounded by silica gel, were embedded in polysalt matrix. Light curing groups showed little crack and more dense unreacted particles than autopolymerizing group. 4. From X-ray diffraction analysis, GC Fuji II Glass Ionomer cement powder and all groups showed glassy appearance but light curing groups seemed to be more intensive in crystaline than autopolymerizing group. S. The most significant dissolution was shown in early setting period in all group. Light curing groups were dissolved less than autopolymerizing group. 6. Marginal leakage was not different significantly in case of cavity margin composed of same tooth structure (ex. only enamel margin, only dentin margin) but much more leakage was shown in dentin/cementum margin than enamel margin. In only case of only enamel margin, light curing groups were superior to autopolymerizing group. 7. All groups showed relatively smooth surface, which irregularity was less than $1{\mu}m$. Light curing groups were smoother than autopolymerizing group.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of acid etching on the surface appearance and fracture toughness of five glass ionomer cements. Five kinds of commercially available glass ionomer cements including chemical curing filling type, chemical curing lining type, chemical curing metal reinforced type, light curing tilling type and light curing lining type were used for this study. The specimens for SEM study were fabricated by treating each glass ionomer cement with either visible light curing or self curing after being inserted into a rubber mold (diameter 4mm, depth 1mm). Some of the specimens were etched with 37% phosphoric acid for 0, 15, 30, 60, go seconds, at 5 minutes, 1 hour and 1 day after mixing of powder and liquid. Unetched ones comprised the control group and the others were the experimental groups. The surface texture was examined by using scanning electron microscope at 20 kV. (S-2300, Hitachi Co., Japan). The specimens for fracture toughness were fabricated by curing of each glass ionomer cement previously inserted into a metal mold for the single edge notch specimen according to the ASTME399. They were subjected to a three-point bend test after etching for 0, 30, 60, and 90 seconds at 5 minutes-, 1 hour-and 1 day-lapse after the fabrication of the specimens. The plane strain fracture toughness ($K_{IC}$) was determined by three-point bend test which was conducted with cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min using Instron universal testing machine (Model No. 1122) following seven days storage of the etched specimens under $37^{\circ}C$, 100% humidity condition. Following conclusions were drawn. 1. In unetched control group, crack was present, but the surface was generally smooth. 2. Deterioration of the surface appearance such as serious dissolving of gel matrix and loss of glass particles occured as the etching time was increased beyond 15 s following Immediate etching of chemical curing type of glass ionomer cements. 3. Etching after 1 h, and 1 d reduced surface damage, 15 s, and 30s etch gave rough surface appearance without loss of glass particle of chemical curing type of glass ionomer cements. 4. Light curing type glass ionomer cement was etched by acid, but there was no difference in surface appearances according to various waiting periods. 5. It was found that the value of plane stram fracture toughness of glass ionomer cements was highest in the light curing filling type as $1.79\;MNm^{-1.5}$ followed by the light curing lining type, chemical curing metal reinforced type, chemical curing filling type and chemical curing lining type. 6. The value of plane stram fracture toughness of the chemical curing lining type glass ionomer cement etched after 5 minutes was lower than those of the cement etched after 1 hour or day or unetched (P < 0.05). 7. Light curing glass ionomer cement showed Irregular fractured surface and chemical curing cement showed smooth fractured surface.

집적회로 소자의 축소가 물리적 한계에 도달 한 이후 3D 패키징, 임베디드 패키징 및 팬 아웃 웨이퍼 레벨 패키징(FOWLP, fan-out wafer level packaging)과 같은 혁신적인 패키징 기술들이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 FOWLP의 다층 재배선(redistribution layer)에 사용하기 위한 유무기 하이브리드 유전체 소재의 공정을 평가하였다. 폴리이미드(PI) 또는 폴리파라페닐렌벤조비스옥사졸(PBO)과 같은 현 유기 유전체와 비교하여 폴리실세스키옥산(polysilsesquioxane, PSSQ)라고 불리는 유무기 하이브리드 유전체는 기계적, 열적 및 전기적 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있고, UV 노광을 통하여 경화 공정과 패턴 공정을 동시에 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 폴리실세스키옥산 용액을 6 인치 Si 웨이퍼에 스핀 코팅한 후 pre-baking과 UV 노광 공정을 이용하여 패턴 및 경화를 진행하였다. 10분의 UV 노광 시간으로 경화와 $2{\mu}m$ 라인 패턴 형성이 동시에 진행됨을 확인하였고, 경화된 폴리실세스키옥산 유전체의 유전상수는 2.0에서 2.4 로 측정되었다. 폴리실세스키옥산 소재를 이용하여 고온 경화 공정없이 UV 노광 공정만으로 경화와 패턴을 할 수 있는 공정 가능성을 보였다.
