This paper reports a novel masking method with various mask materials for wet etching of glass. Various mask materials such as Cr/Au, Ti/Au, Polyimide and thick SU-8 photoresist were investigated for borosilicate glass (Borofloat33) etching in concentrated hydrofluoric acid (48% HF). Polyimide and thick SU-8 photoresist are not suitable as masking material due to its poor adhesion to glass surfaces. Titanium has good adhesion is suitable as the first layer to make multi-protective layers. The best protection was obtained with a combination of Ti/Au, polyimide and Ti/Au as masking material with etch depth of $350{\mu}m$ achieved.

The old technique of sandblasting which has been used for decoration of glass surface has recently been developed into a powder blasting technique for brittle materials such as glass, silicon and ceramics, capable of producing micro structures larger than $100{\mu}$ m. This paper describes the performance of powder blasting technique in micro-line grooving of glass and the effect of the number of nozzle scanning on the depth and width of line groove. Experimental results showed that increasing the no. of nozzle scanning resulted in the increase of depth and width in grooves. Increase of width which may cause several problems in the precision machining results from wear of mask film. Therefore, well-controlled masking process is the most important factor for micro machining of glass with accuracy.

Abrasive jet machining(AJM) process is similar to the sand blasting and effectively removes hard and brittle materials. AJM has applied to rough working such as debarring and rough finishing. As the need for machining of ceramics, semiconductor, electronic devices and LCD are increasing, micro AJM is developed, and has become the inevitable technique to micromachining. This paper describes the performance of the micro AJM in micro grooving of glass. Diameter of hole and width of line in grooving is 80${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Experimental results showed good performance in micro grooving of glass, but the size of machined groove increased about 2~4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. With the fine tuning of masking process and compensation of film wear. this micro AJM could be effectively applied to the micro machining of semiconductor, electronic devices and LCD.

This study describes a new mastless nano-fabrication technique of Pyrex 7740 glass using the combination of nanomachining by nano-indenter XP and HF wet etching. First, the surface of a Pyrex 7740 glass specimen was machined by using the nano-machining system, which utilizes the mechanism of the nano-indenter XP. Next, the specimen was etched by HF solution. After the etching process, the convex structure or deeper hole is made because of masking or promotion effect of the affected layer generated by nano-machining. On the basis of this interesting fact. some sample structures were fabricated.

RF마그네트론 스파터링에 의한 $sSnO_2$ 박막을 증착한 결과 작동조건에 따라 표면에서 막손상이 발생하였는데, 이는 target에서 생성된 높은 에너지의 고속입자가 기판에서 직접 충돌로 일어나며, 마그네트론의 자계분포와도 관계된다. 또한 기판의 위치에 따라 박막의 전기적, 구조적 특성이 급격히 변하는데 본 논문은 중심자석의 세기와 RF power, 가스압력, 그리고 기판온도 등의 스파터링 작동조건을 변화시키면서 박막의 비손상을 검토하였고, 물성특성을 평가하였다. 실험결과로 부터 기판의 외축부에서 제작된 박막은 전반적으로 막손상이 없었고, 특히 target의 중심자석을 Cobalt로 설치하고 15 mTorr의 가스압력과 50 W의 RF power로 한 경우 가장 우수한 특성을 가진 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 추가로 막손상을 방지하고자, 환원형의 masking glass를 target위에 설치하였는데, 고에너지 입자의 직접 충돌을 확실히 차단할 수 있었으며, 비저항율도 target의 부식부위 (erosion)에 대응하는 부분에서 100배 정도로 개선하였다.

We present the peridynamic dynamic fracture analysis to solve impact fracturing of multilayered glass impacted by a high-velocity object. In the most practical multilayered glass structures, main layers are glued by thin elastic masking films. Thus, it is difficult and expensive to construct the numerical model for such a multilayered structure. In this paper, we employ efficient numerical modeling of multilayered structures with a nonlocal ghost interlayer model in which ghost particles are distributed between main layers and they are interacting with each other in peridynamic way. We also consider a simple nonlocal contact condition in peridynamic frameworks to solve impact and penetration of the high-velocity impactor to the multilayered structure. Finally we can confirm the fracture capabilities of the method using a multilayered glass model in which 7 glass layers and a single elastic backing layer are affixed by polyvinyl butyral films.

Transparent and conducting Sb-doped $SnO_2$ thin films were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering technology. But it showed a serious damage phenomenon on the surface of as-deposited films. In order to avoid a damage caused in the substrate center and location facing to target erosion, a ring plate of masking glass was installed at 1.5 cm above target surface. The uniformity and electrical characteristic of $SnO_2$ thin films were evaluated by the control of optimal conditions in the magnetron sputtering operation such as rf power, sputtering gas pressure, and substrate temperature. In the experimental results using the operating conditions, the optimum temperature, which produced uniform and damageless films, shifted with the change of gas pressure. The rate was about $100^{\circ}C$/5 mTorr at rf power of 50 W Similarly, the optimum temperature in compensation for an increase of rf power shifted down to a proper rate.

Statement of problem: Ceramic restorations should be made of porcelain layers of different opacity, shade, and thickness in order to provide a natural appearance. Lithium disilicate glass-ceramic system has superior color reproducibility, because it uses the ceramic ingot which is similar to teeth shade and uses the staining technique and layering technique. However, staining technique has a fault of discoloration. Also, porcelain is divided core and dentin layer, it is not enough to study about the influence of porcelain layer thickness and shade on the shade of ceramic restorations. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of porcelain layer thickness and color on the final shade of ceramic restorations. Materials and method: The CIE $L^*a^*b^*$(CIELAB) values of 72 assembled specimens, each consisting of 3 discs (enamel porcelain 0.2 mm/dentin porcelain -1.2, 0.9, 0.7, 0.5 or 0.3 mm/ceramic core -0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 or 1.2 mm, diameter is 1.0 mm) were evaluated with a spectrophotometer (Model Chromaview 300, Spectron Tech Co, Korea) for the shade A1, A2, A3 and A4. Distilled water (refractive index: 1.7) was used to attain optical contact between the layers. White, white gray, and white brown backgrounds were used to assess the influence of the background on the final shade. And the mean color difference value$({\Delta}E)$ was calculated. Results and conclusion: The results obtained from this study were as follows. 1. There was a significant correlation between the thickness ratio of the ceramic core/dentin porcelain system and $L^*,\;a^*\;and\;b^*$ values when the total thickness of specimen combination was smaller than 1.4 mm(P<0.05). 2. The specimen which the ceramic core thickness was more than 0.7 mm had the best masking effect against background colors. 3. The mean color difference value$({\Delta}E)$ is smaller than 2 $({\Delta}E<2)$ when the ceramic core thickness was larger than 0.7 mm and the total thickness of specimen was more than 1.4 mm.
