[ $Epoxy/BaTiO_3$ ] composite embedded capacitor films (ECFs) were newly designed fur high dielectric constant and low tolerance (less than ${\pm}15\%$) embedded capacitor fabrication for organic substrates. In terms of material formulation, ECFs are composed of specially formulated epoxy resin and latent curing agent, and in terms of coating process, a comma roll coating method is used for uniform film thickness in large area. Dielectric constant of $BaTiO_3\;&\;SrTiO_3$ composite ECF is measured with MIM capacitor at 100 kHz using LCR meter. Dielectric constant of $BaTiO_3$ ECF is bigger than that of $SrTiO_3$ ECF, and it is due to difference of permittivity of $BaTiO_3\;and\;SrTiO_3$ particles. Dielectric constant of $BaTiO_3\;&\;SrTiO_3$ ECF in high frequency range $(0.5\~10GHz)$ is measured using cavity resonance method. In order to estimate dielectric constant, the reflection coefficient is measured with a network analyzer. Dielectric constant is calculated by observing the frequencies of the resonant cavity modes. About both powders, calculated dielectric constants in this frequency range are about 3/4 of the dielectric constants at 1 MHz. This difference is due to the decrease of the dielectric constant of epoxy matrix. For $BaTiO_3$ ECF, there is the dielectric relaxation at $5\~9GHz$. It is due to changing of polarization mode of $BaTiO_3$ powder. In the case of $SrTiO_3$ ECF, there is no relaxation up to 10GHz. Alternative material for embedded capacitor fabrication is $epoxy/BaTiO_3$ composite embedded capacitor paste (ECP). It uses similar materials formulation like ECF and a screen printing method for film coating. The screen printing method has the advantage of forming capacitor partially in desired part. But the screen printing makes surface irregularity during mask peel-off, Surface flatness is significantly improved by adding some additives and by applying pressure during curing. As a result, dielectric layer with improved thickness uniformity is successfully demonstrated. Using $epoxy/BaTiO_3$ composite ECP, dielectric constant of 63 and specific capacitance of 5.1nF/cm2 were achieved.

현재 고집적 비휘발성 메모리 소자로는 MRAM (Magnetic Random Access Memory)과 PRAM (Phase Magnetic Random Access Memory)이 활발하게 미국과 일본, 한국 등에서 다양한 연구가 진행되어 오고 있다. 이 중에서 MRAM은 DRAM과 비슷한 10 ns의 빠른 읽기/쓰기 속도와 비휘발성 특성을 가지고 있으며, 전하를 저장할 커패시터가 필요 없고, 두 개의 자성충에 약 10 mA 정도의 전류를 가하면 그때 발생하는 약 10 Oe의 자장을 개개의 비트를 write하고, read 시에는 각 비트의 자기저항을 측정함으로써 데이터를 저장하고 읽을 있으므로, 고집적화가 가능성하다 [1]. 현재 우수한 박막 재료가 개발 되었으나, 고집적 MRAM 소자의 양산에는 해결 하여야 하는 문제점이 있다. 특히 다층 박막으로 구성되어 있으므로 식각 공정의 개발이 필수적이다. 지금까지 MRAM 재료의 식각은 주로 Ion milling, ICP, ECR등의 플라즈마 장치를 되었고, 식각 가스로는 할로겐 기체와 금속카보닐 형성을 위한 Co/$NH_3$와 $Ch_3OH$ 기체가 이용되고 있다. 그러나 할로겐 계열의 기체를 사용할 경우, 식각 부산물들의 높은 끓는점 때문에 식각 부산물이 박막의 표면에서 열적 탈착에 의하여 제거되지 않기 때문에 높은 에너지를 가지는 이온의 도움에 의한 식각이 필요하다. 또한 Cl 계열의 기체를 사용할 경우, 식각 공정 후, 시료가 대기에 노출되면 대기 중의 수분과 식각 부산물이 결합하여 부식 현상이 발생하게 된다. 그러므로 이를 방지하기 위한 추가 공정이 요구된다. 최근에는 부식 현상이 없고, MTJ 상부에 사용되는 Ta 또는 Ti Hard mask와의 높은 선택비를 가지는 $CH_3OH$ 또는 CO/$NH_3$가 사용되고 있다. 하부 박막에 따른 식각 특성에 연구와 다층의 박막의 식각 공정에 발생에 관한 발표는 거의 없다. MRAM을 양산에 적용하기 위하여서는 Main etch 공정에서 빠른 식각 공정이 필요하고, Over etch 공정에서 하부박막에 대한 높은 선택비가 요구된다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 식각 변수에 따른 플라즈마 측정과 표면 반응을 비교하여 각 공정의 식각 메커니즘을 규명하고, Main Etch 공정에서는 $Cl_2$/Ar 또는 $BCl_3$/Ar 가스를 이용하여 식각 실험을 수행하고, Over etch 공정에는 낮은 Ta 박막 식각 속도를 가지는 $Ch_4/O_2$/Ar 또는 $Ch_3OH$/Ar 가스를 이용하고자 한다. 플라즈마 내의 식각종과 Ta 박막과의 반응을 XPS와 AES를 이용하여 분석하고, 식각 공정 변수에 따른 식각 속도, 식각 선택비와 식각 프로파일 변화를 SEM을 이용하여 관찰한다.

Statement of problem. Unreasonable distal cantilevered implant-supported prosthesis can mask functional problems of reconstruction temporarily, but it can cause serious strain and stress around its supported implant and surrounding alveolar bone. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate strain of implants supporting distal cantilevered fixed prosthesis with two different cantilevered length under distal cantilevered static load. Material and methods. A partially edentulous mandibular test model was fabricated with auto-polymerizing resin (POLYUROCK; Metalor technologies, Stuttgart, Swiss) and artificial denture teeth (Endura; Shofu inc., Kyoto, Japan). Two implants-supported 5-unit screw-retained cantilevered fixed prosthesis was made using standard methods with Type III gold alloy (Harmony C&B55; Ivoclar-vivadent, Liechtenstein, Germany) for superstructure and reinforced hard resin (Tescera; Ivoclar-vivadent, Liechtenstein, Germany) for occlusal material. Two strain gauges (KFG-1-120-C1-11L1M2R; KYOWA electronic instruments, Tokyo, Japan) were then attached to the mesial and the distal surface of each standard abutment with adhesive (M-bond 200; Tokuyama, Tokyo, Japan). Total four strain gauges were attached to test model and connected to dynamic signal conditioning strain amplifier (CTA1000; Curiotech inc., Paju, Korea). The stepped $20{\sim}100$ N in 25 N increments, cantilevered static load 8mm apart (Group I) or 16mm apart (Group II), were applied using digital push-pull gauge (Push-Pull Scale & Digital Force Gauge, Axis inc., Seoul, Korea). Each step was performed ten times and every strain signal was monitored and recorded. Results. In case of Group I, the strain values were surveyed by $80.7{\sim}353.8{\mu}m$ in Ch1, $7.5{\sim}47.9{\mu}m/m$ in Ch2, $45.7{\sim}278.6{\mu}m/m$ in Ch3 and $-212.2{\sim}718.7{\mu}m/m$ in Ch4 depending on increasing cantilevered static load. On the other hand, the strain values of Group II were surveyed by $149.9{\sim}612.8{\mu}m/m$ in Ch1, $26.0{\sim}168.5{\mu}m/m$ in Ch2, $114.3{\sim}632.3{\mu}m/m$ in Ch3, and $-323.2{\sim}-894.7{\mu}m/m$ in Ch4. Conclusion. A comparative statistical analysis using paired sample t-test about Group I Vs Group II under distal cantilevered load shows that there are statistical significant differences for all 4 channels (P<0.05).

Macrofore formation in silicon and other semiconductors using electrochemical etching processes has been, in the last years, a subject of great attention of both theory and practice. Its first reason of concern is new areas of macropore silicone applications arising from microelectromechanical systems processing (MEMS), membrane techniques, solar cells, sensors, photonic crystals, and new technologies like a silicon-on-nothing (SON) technology. Its formation mechanism with a rich variety of controllable microstructures and their many potential applications have been studied extensively recently. Porous silicon is formed by anodic etching of crystalline silicon in hydrofluoric acid. During the etching process holes are required to enable the dissolution of the silicon anode. For p-type silicon, holes are the majority charge carriers, therefore porous silicon can be formed under the action of a positive bias on the silicon anode. For n-type silicon, holes to dissolve silicon is supplied by illuminating n-type silicon with above-band-gap light which allows sufficient generation of holes. To make a desired three-dimensional nano- or micro-structures, pre-structuring the masked surface in KOH solution to form a periodic array of etch pits before electrochemical etching. Due to enhanced electric field, the holes are efficiently collected at the pore tips for etching. The depletion of holes in the space charge region prevents silicon dissolution at the sidewalls, enabling anisotropic etching for the trenches. This is correct theoretical explanation for n-type Si etching. However, there are a few experimental repors in p-type silicon, while a number of theoretical models have been worked out to explain experimental dependence observed. To perform ordered macrofore formaion for p-type silicon, various kinds of mask patterns to make initial KOH etch pits were used. In order to understand the roles played by the kinds of etching solution in the formation of pillar arrays, we have undertaken a systematic study of the solvent effects in mixtures of HF, N-dimethylformamide (DMF), iso-propanol, and mixtures of HF with water on the macrofore structure formation on monocrystalline p-type silicon with a resistivity varying between 10 ~ 0.01 $\Omega$ cm. The etching solution including the iso-propanol produced a best three dimensional pillar structures. The experimental results are discussed on the base of Lehmann's comprehensive model based on SCR width.

Purpose: This study evaluated the usefulness of Helmet bolus device using Bolx-II, paraffin wax, solid thermoplastic material in total scalp irradiation. Materials and Methods: Using Rando phantom, we applied Bolx-II (Action Products, USA), paraffin wax (Densply, USA), solid thermoplastic material (Med-Tec, USA) on the whole scalp to make helmet bolus device. Computed tomography (GE, Ultra Light Speed16) images were acquired at 5 mm thickness. Then, we set up the optimum treatment plan and analyzed the variation in density of each bolus (Philips, Pinnacle). To evaluate the dose distribution, Dose-homogeneity index (DHI, $D_{90}/D_{10}$) and Conformity index (CI, $V_{95}/TV$) of Clinical Target Volume (CTV) using Dose-Volume Histogram (DVH) and $V_{20}$, $V_{30}$ of normal brain tissues. we assessed the efficiency of production process by measuring total time taken to produce. Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) were used to verify the accuracy. Results: Density variation value of Bolx-II, paraffin wax, solid thermoplastic material turned out to be $0.952{\pm}0.13g/cm^3$, $0.842{\pm}0.17g/cm^3$, $0.908{\pm}0.24g/cm^3$, respectively. The DHI and CI of each helmet bolus device which used Bolx-II, paraffin wax, solid thermoplastic material were 0.89, 0.85, 0.77 and 0.86, 0.78, 0.74, respectively. The result of Bolx-II was the best. $V_{20}$ and $V_{30}$ of brain tissues were 11.50%, 10.80%, 10.07% and 7.62%, 7.40%, 7.31%, respectively. It took 30, 120, 90 minutes to produce. The measured TLD results were within ${\pm}7%$ of the planned values. Conclusion: The application of helmet bolus which used Bolx-II during total scalp irradiation not only improves homogeneity and conformity of Clinical Target Volume but also takes short time and the production method is simple. Thus, the helmet bolus which used Bolx-II is considered to be useful for the clinical trials.

The purpose of this research was to summarize Korea and China's researches on Noh and to examine main domain in this field, by investigating the academic books and articles published in two countries. In 1960s, since Nohgaku has been introduced to China, academic articles on Zeami's theories and aesthetics have emphasized on aesthetic characteristics of Chinese plays and Japanese Nohgaku through the similarities of oriental plays. The number of researches on Kabuki is almost twice as that of researches on Noh in China. While most researches on Kabuki were compared with the styles and music of Pecking Opera and the theatrical theories of liyu[李漁], those on Noh has been highlighted the comparative studies on $Y{\bar{o}}kyoku$[謠曲], Chinese Noh plays. The main difference among the researches on $Y{\bar{o}}kyoku$ in Korea and China was the material regarding characters of Noh. Because song yuanzaju[宋 元雜劇]and Nohgaku in Chinese-Japanese plays were the mature form of the classic plays and those were representative of traditional nation plays, this researches tried to ascertain the cultural origins of two countries regarding the aesthetic characteristics by referencing lyrical and narrative features[曲詞] of yuanzaju[元雜劇]and the classic waka of Nohgaku. While the comparative studies on Noh and song yuanzaju and kunqu[昆劇] in China were prevalent, national researches have emphasized on the inner world of the main character and dramaturgy through the verbal description of Noh. Especially, this research tried to investigate the inner world of the main character and the intention of the writers through the verbal description of Noh authorized in the history of the works. Also, the researches on Buddhism in the Middle Ages and religious background were examined significantly. In addition, the $Y{\bar{o}}kyoku$ has influenced on European modern playwrights and the comparative studies between the materials of $Y{\bar{o}}kyoku$ and Western modern plays were concerned. In Korea, the comparative studies on Noh between Korea abd Japan has been most focused on the origin theory of Noh. The fact that appearance theory of Noh had originated from Sangaku was common opinion among Korean, Chinese, and Japanese scholars. However, they are agree with the opinion that according to the formation of the different genres, Noh's mainstream was different among three countries despite of the same origin. Yuan drama and Noh play have the same origin, but different branch. In relation to the Noh's origin theory, there are literature comparative studies in religious background, the studies presumed the origin of instrumental music related to those in mask plays, and the comparative studies between Korean mask plays and $ky{\bar{o}}gen$ of Nohgaku. Kyogen is the Comedy inserted among the stories in Nohgaku performed in just one day. Therefore, $ky{\bar{o}}gen$ must be discussed separately from the relations of 'shite[任手]'s inner action veiled with masks. This research figured out that the lacking points of the two countries' researches were the acting methods of Noh. Academic articles written by foreign scholars studying Korean and Chinese theatres should be included when this issue will be dealt with. In Korea and China, translation studies and writings regarding Nohgaku have studied by those who are major in Japanese literature or oriental literature. This case is the same in Korea in that scholars whose speciality is not theatre, but Japanese literature has studied. Therefore, this present study can give a good grasp of whole tendency on Nohgaku's research in theatre fields.

Medical utilization for employees were covered by factories sponsored medical insurance in 12.7% and by provincial sponsored medical insurance in 83.4%. 5. Two point six percents of employees were suffered by diseases. The health complaints indicated were mainly digestive problems in 46.7% and hypertension in 24.4%. 6. Employees wore personal protective equipments for work such as gloves in 48.1%. safety shoes in 30.5%. ear plug in 5.5% and mask in 6.9%. Based on the results of study, we recommend that various types of occupational health management should be developed according to workplace working condition of each factory. In addition to the development of occupational health strategies. we think that it is more important to monitor and to allocate how effectively they operate each other on the basis of longitudinal continuity. Besides, we would like to insist that these all management effort should be focused on prevention of disease and occupational health education of employees.

In order to efficiently recycle the waste solution resulting from shadow mask processing, nano-sized Ni-ferrite powder was fab-ricated through spray pyrolysis process. The average particle size of the powder was below 100nm. In this study, the effects of the reaction temperature. the concentration of raw material solution and the injection speed of solution on the properties of powder were respectively investigated. As the reaction temperature increased from $800^{\circ}C$ to $1100^{\circ}C$, average particle size of the powder significantly Increased and power structure became more solid, whereat its specific surface area was greatly reduced. Formation rate and crystallization of($NiFe_2$$O_4$) phale increased along with the temperature rise. As the concentrations of iron and nickel components in wastere solution increased, particle size of the powder became larger, particle size distribution became more irregular, and specific surface area was reduced. Formation rate and crystallization of $NiFe_2$$O_4$ phase increased significantly along with the increase of the concentration of solution. As the inlet speed of solution increased, particle size of the powder became larger, particle size distribution became wider, specific surface area was reduced and powder structure became less solid. As the inlet speed of solution decreased, formation rate and crystallization of $NiFe_2$$O_4$ phase significantly increased.

In this study, we fabricated a capacitive humidity sensor with interdigitated (IDT) electrodes using a thermosetting polyimide as a humidifying material. First, the number of electrodes, thickness, and spacing of the polyimide film were optimized, and a mask was designed and fabricated. The sensor was fabricated on a silicon substrate using semiconductor processing equipment. The area of the sensor was $1.56{\times}1.66mm^2$, and the width of the electrode and the gap between the electrodes were each $3{\mu}m$. The number of electrodes was 166, and the length of an electrode was 1.294 mm for the sensitivity of the sensor. The sensor was then packaged on a PCB for measurement. The sensor was inserted into a chamber environment with a temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ and connected to an LCR meter to measure the change in capacitance at relative humidity (RH) of 20% to 90%, 1 V, and 20 kHz. The results showed a sensitivity of 26fF/%RH, linearity of < ${\pm}2%RH$, and hysteresis of < ${\pm}2.5%RH$.
