  • 최근 디지털 컨버젼스에 의해서 정보 단말기 network가 디지털 기술을 기반으로 유기적으로 융 복합화 되고 있으며 BT, NT, ET, IT의 융합 기술의 필요성이 점차적으로 증대되고 있다. 이러한 환경 하에서 다양한 정보 및 서비스의 송신 및 수신이 가능한 휴대 단말기의 필요성에 부응하여 기존의 전화 기능, 카메라, DMB 이외에도 홈 네트워크, mobile internet 등 더욱 다양한 기능들이 요구되고 있다. 종래에는 수동 부품과 능동 부품의 실장을 별개로 추진했으나 최근에는 수동 및 능동 부품을 하나의 패키지 내에 실장 가능하도록 하는 3-D Integration을 추진하고 있다. 지금까지 여러 부품들을 실장 시키기 위한 공정들의 대부분은 높은 온도에서 공정이 이루어졌으나 여러 부품들을 손상 없이 집적화하고 실장하기 위해서는 저온화 공정이 필요하다. 최근 많은 저온 공정 중에서 Aerosol Deposition Method는 상온에서 세라믹 후막을 성막할 수 있어 가장 주목받고 있는 공정중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 3-D Integration을 실현하기 위해 이종 접합에 유리하고 상온에서 성막 공정이 이루어지는 Aerosol Deposition Method를 이용하여 금속 기판 위에 금속, 폴리머, 세라믹 후막을 성막시켰다. 기판 재료로는 Cu 기판을 사용하였으며 출발 파우더로는 Polyimide 파우더와 $Al_2O_3$ 파우더, Ag 파우더를 사용하였으며 이종 접합간의 메커니즘의 양상을 보기 위해 같은 조건에서 이종 접합간의 성막률을 비교하였으며 FE-SEM으로 미세 구조를 관찰하였다. 또한 기판의 표면 거칠기에 따른 메커니즘의 양상을 연구하였다.

  • Vertically-aligned silicon nanostructure arrays (SNAs) have been drawing much attention due to their useful electrical properties, large surface area, and quantum confinement effect. SNAs are typically fabricated by chemical vapor deposition, reactive ion etching, or wet chemical etching. Recently, metal-assisted chemical etching process, which is relatively simple and cost-effective, in combination with nanosphere lithography was recently demonstrated for vertical SNA fabrication with controlled SNA diameters, lengths, and densities. However, this method exhibits limitations in terms of large-area preparation of unperiodic nanostructures and SNA geometry tuning independent of inter-structure separation. In this work, we introduced the layerby- layer deposition of polyelectrolytes for holding uniformly dispersed polystyrene beads as mask and demonstrated the fabrication of well-dispersed vertical SNAs with controlled geometric parameters on large substrates. Additionally, we present a new means of building in vitro neuronal networks using vertical nanowire arrays. Primary culture of rat hippocampal neurons were deposited on the bare and conducting polymer-coated SNAs and maintained for several weeks while their viability remains for several weeks. Combined with the recently-developed transfection method via nanowire internalization, the patterned vertical nanostructures will contribute to understanding how synaptic connectivity and site-specific perturbation will affect global neuronal network function in an extant in vitro neuronal circuit.

  • One-dimensional metal oxide nanostructures have attracted considerable research activities owing to their strong application potential as components for nanosize electronic or optoelectronic devices utilizing superior optical and electrical properties. In which, semiconducting $SnO_2$ material with wide-bandgap Eg = 3.6 eV at room temperature, is one of the attractive candidates for optoelectronic devices operating at room temperature [1, 2], gas sensor [3, 4], and transparent conducting electrodes [5]. The synthesis and gas sensing properties of semiconducting $SnO_2$ nanomaterials have become one of important research issues since the first synthesis of SnO2 nanowires. In this study, $SnO_2$ nanowire networks were synthesized on a basis of a two-step process. In step 1, Sn spheres (30-800 nm in diameter) embedded in $SiO_2$ on a Si substrate was synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition method at $700^{\circ}C$. In step 2, using the source of these Sn spheres, $SnO_2$ nanowire (20-40 nm in diameter; $1-10{\mu}m$ in length) networks on a spherical Sn surface were synthesized by a thermal oxidation method at $800^{\circ}C$. The Au layers were pre-deposited on the surface of Sn spherical and subsequently oxidized Sn surface of Sn spherical formed SnO2 nanowires networks. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images indicated that $SnO_2$ nanowires are single crystalline. In addition, the $SnO_2$ nanowire is also a tetragonal rutile, with the preferred growth directions along [100] and a lattice spacing of 0.237 nm. Subsequently, the $NO_2$ sensing properties of the $SnO_2$ network nanowires sensor at an operating temperature of $50-250^{\circ}C$ were examined, and showed a reversible response to $NO_2$ at various $NO_2$ concentrations. Finally, details of the growth mechanism and formation of Sn spheres and $SnO_2$ nanowire networks are also discussed.

  • This paper presents the fabrication of surface acoustic wave (SAW)-based pressure sensor for long-term stable mechanical compression force measurement. SAW pressure sensor has many attractive features for practical pressure measurement: no battery requirement, wireless pressure detection especially at hazardous environments, and easy other functionality integrations such as temperature, humidity, and RFID. A $41^{\circ}$ YX $LiNbO_3$ piezoelectric substrate was used because of its high SAW propagation velocity and large values of electromechanical coupling factors $K^2$. A silicon substrate with $\~200{\mu}m$ deep cavity was bonded to the diaphragm with epoxy, in which gold was covered all over the inner cavity in order to confine electromagnetic energy inside the sensor, and provide good isolation of the device from its environment. The reflection coefficient $S_{11}$ was measured using network analyzer. High S/N ratio, sharp reflected peaks, and clear separation between the peaks were observed. As a mechanical compression force was applied to the diaphragm from top with extremely sharp object, the diaphragm was bended, resulting in the phase shifts of the reflected peaks. The phase shifts were modulated depending on the amount of applied mechanical compression force. The measured $S_{11}$ results showed a good agreement with simulated results obtained from equivalent admittance circuit modeling.

  • In the present review, we provide an overview of the research trend of anodic $TiO_2$ nanostructures. To date, most anodic $TiO_2$ nanostructure formation has focused on the fluoride ion electrolyte system to form nanotube layers. Recently, a novel approach that describes the formation of thick, self-organized $TiO_2$ nanostructures was reported. These layers can be prepared on Ti metal by anodization in a hot organic/$K_2HPO_4$ electrolyte. This nanostructure consists of a strongly interlinked network of nanosized $TiO_2$, and thus provides a considerably higher specific surface area than that of using anodic $TiO_2$ nanotubes. This review describes the formation mechanism and novel properties of the new nanostructures, and introduces potential applications.

  • Tandem arc welding is a guarantor for high efficiency and cost saving since the quantity of wire which is deposited in the welding is approximated 30% greater that in conventional welding. The welding process is now being successfully applied in many industries. However, in the case of tandem arc welding, good quality and high productivity should depend on the welding parameters. Therefore, an intelligent algorithms for the automatic tandem arc welding process has been necessarily required. In this study, a predictive model based on the neural network by using the data acquired during tandem gas metal arc (GMA) welding process has been developed. To verify the reliability of the developed predictive model, a mutual comparison with the surface of the top-bead width obtained from actual experiments has been analyzed.

  • The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has developed an advanced fast reactor concept, KALIMER-600, which satisfies the Generation IV reactor design goals of sustainability, economics, safety, and proliferation resistance. The concept enables an efficient utilization of uranium resources and a reduction of the radioactive waste. The core design has been developed with a strong emphasis on proliferation resistance by adopting a single enrichment fuel without blanket assemblies. In addition, a passive residual heat removal system, shortened intermediate heat-transport system piping and seismic isolation have been realized in the reactor system design as enhancements to its safety and economics. The inherent safety characteristics of the KALIMER-600 design have been confirmed by a safety analysis of its bounding events. Research on important thermal-hydraulic phenomena and sensing technologies were performed to support the design study. The integrity of the reactor head against creep fatigue was confirmed using a CFD method, and a model for density-wave instability in a helical-coiled steam generator was developed. Gas entrainment on an agitating pool surface was investigated and an experimental correlation on a critical entrainment condition was obtained. An experimental study on sodium-water reactions was also performed to validate the developed SELPSTA code, which predicts the data accurately. An acoustic leak detection method utilizing a neural network and signal processing units were developed and applied successfully for the detection of a signal up to a noise level of -20 dB. Waveguide sensor visualization technology is being developed to inspect the reactor internals and fuel subassemblies. These research and developmental efforts contribute significantly to enhance the safety, economics, and efficiency of the KALIMER-600 design concept.

  • Metals, ceramics and polymers are widely used as bioimplant materials. However, Ti and Ti alloys are widely used because of its high strength to weight ratio and good biocompatibility when implanted in the body. In this experiment, Ti alloys of Grade-4 (gr4), 0.2 wt % Fe, 0.5 wt % Fe and 2 wt % Fe were studied for their surface morphology and HAp forming ability on the metal substrate for different treatments. Intially, the samples were mechanically polished on silicone carbide paper (No.-2000). The polished samples were treated with 5M NaOH solution at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The NaOH treated samples were washed gently with distill water and dried at $40^{\circ}C$ for 1 day. The dried samples were heated in air at $600^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The surface morphology of these samples were studied using SEM. The SEM studies showed network of pores in all samples. These samples were immersed in stimulated body fluids (SBF) kept at $36.5^{\circ}C$ for different periods over the length of 1 to 14 days. The apatite formation was confirmed on all Ti-alloys using EDAX.
