Metallic and non-metallic isomerases can be used to produce commercially important monosaccharides. To determine which category of isomerase is more suitable as a template for directed evolution to improve enzymes for galactose isomerization, L-arabinose isomerase from Escherichia coli (ECAI; E.C. 5.3.1.4) and tagatose-6-phosphate isomerase from Staphylococcus aureus (SATI; E.C. 5.3.1.26) were chosen as models of a metallic and non-metallic isomerase, respectively. Random mutations were introduced into the genes encoding ECAI and SATI at the same rate, resulting in the generation of 515 mutants of each isomerase. The isomerization activity of each of the mutants toward a non-natural substrate (galactose) was then measured. With an average mutation rate of 0.2 mutations/kb, 47.5% of the mutated ECAIs showed an increase in activity compared with wild-type ECAI, and the remaining 52.5% showed a decrease in activity. Among the mutated SATIs, 58.6% showed an increase in activity, whereas 41.4% showed a decrease in activity. Mutant clones showing a significant change in relative activity were sequenced and specific increases in activity were measured. The maximum increase in activity achieved by mutation of ECAI was 130%, and that for SATI was 190%. Based on these results, the characteristics of the different isomerases are discussed in terms of their usefulness for directed evolution of non-natural substrate isomerization.

Recently plasma etching research has been focused on the metal surfaces in the nuclear industry. In this study, surface etching reaction of metallic Co and Mo, principal contaminants in the spent nuclear components, in CF$_4$/O$_2$, gas plasma has been experimentally investigated to look into the applicability and the effectiveness of the technique for the surface decontamination. Experimental variables are $CF_4$/$O_2$ ratio and substrate temperature between 29$0^{\circ}C$ and 38$0^{\circ}C$. Experimental results Show that the optimum gas composition is 80%CF$_4$-20%$O_2$ and the metallic Co and Mo are etched out well enough in the temperatures range. Cobalt starts to be etched above $350^{\circ}C$ and the etching rate increases with increasing substrate temperature. Maximum rate achieved at 38$0^{\circ}C$ under 220 W r.f. plasma power is 0.06 $\mu\textrm{m}$/min. On the other hand, the metallic Mo is etched easily even at low temperature and the reaction rate drastically increases as the substrate temperature goes up. Highest rate obtained under the same conditions is $1.9\mu\textrm{m}$/min. OES (Optical Emission Spectroscopy) analysis reveals that the intensities of F atom and CO molecule reach maximum at the optimum gas composition, which demonstrates that the principal reaction mechanism is fluorination and/or carbonyl reaction. It is confirmed, therefore, that dry processing technique using reactive plasma is quite feasible and applicable for the decontamination of surface-contaminated parts or equipments.

GaN는 대표적인 III-V족 질화물반도체로 주로 값싸고 다루기 쉬운 사파이어 기판 위에 성장된다. 하지만 사파이어 기판은 부도체이며, GaN과의 격자부정합을 일으키고 열전도도 또한 낮은 기판으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 방열기능과 열 전기전도도가 뛰어난 금속 화합물 탄소체 기판 위에 poly GaN epilayer를 HVPE법으로 성장시켜보았다. 비정질의 금속 화합물 탄소체 기판위에 성장되는 GaN epilayer의 성장메카니즘을 관찰하였다. GaN epilayer의 성장을 위해 HCl과 $NH_3$를 흘려주었다. 성장하기 위해 source zone과 growth zone의 온도는 각각 $850^{\circ}C$와 $1090^{\circ}C$로 설정했다. 성장이 끝난 샘플은 SEM, EDS, XRD측정을 통해 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 FR4와 같은 저가의 고손실 기판을 이용하여 금속 부착형 태그 안테나를 설계하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 설계 방법은 유전 손실(dielectric loss)에 따른 기판 손실(substrate loss)을 크게 감소시킴으로써, 태그 안테나의 복사 효율(radiation efficiency)을 기존의 평면 역 F 안테나(planar inverted-F antenna: PIFA)에 비하여 2배 이상 향상시킨다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 방법에 따른 안테나의 등가 회로 모델을 정립하고 이를 체계적으로 분석하였으며, 시제품을 제작 및 측정하여 제안한 방법의 우수성을 입증하였다.

As metallic surface has its unique lustrous appearance and optical reflectance in visible range of light, the metallization of plastic surface has been an essential drive toward weight reduction for fuel economy and decorations in transportation industry and has been put into practiced from wet chemical-electrochemial to dry vacuum process in view of an environmental effect. Electron-beam metallization was used in this work with an aim at improving the scratchproof surface hardness of plastic substrate with metallic finish character. Thin film of Al ($1000\AA$) and $SiO_2$($7000\AA$) were metallized on substrate of PC and PMMA and the films were evaluated by pencil test for surface hardness and by cross-cut tape test for adhesion. The ion beam treatment improved around twice as hard as non-treat surface. The ion beam is effect on its hardness and adhesion to surface hardened PC substrate.

Good quality superconducting $YBa_2Cu_30_{7-{\delta}}$(YBCO) thin films were grown on Hastelloy (Ni-Cr-Mo alloys) with yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) buffer layers by in situ pulsed laser deposition in a multi-target processing chamber. Generally, Hastelloy exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion, fatigue, thermal shock, impact, and erosion. However, it is difficult to make films on flexible metallic substrates due to interdiffusion problems between metallic substrates and superconducting overlayers. To overcome this difficulty, it is necessary to use YSZ buffer layer since it will not only limit the interdiffusion process but also minimize the surface microcrack formation due to smaller mismatch between the film and the substrate. In order to enhance the crystallinity of YBCO films on metallic substrates, YSZ buffer layers were grown at various temperatures different from the deposition temperature of YBCO films. On YSZ buffer layer grown at higher temperature than that for depositing YBCO film, the YBCO thin film was found to be textured with c-axis orientation by x-ray diffraction and had a zero-resistance critical temperature of about 85K.

NiTiZrSiSn bulk metallic glass powder was produced using inert gas atomization and then was sprayed onto a SS 41 mild steel substrate using the kinetic spraying process. Through this study, the effects of thermal energy of in-flight particle and crystallization degree by powder preheating temperature were evaluated. The deformation behavior of bulk metallic glass is very interesting and it is largely dependent on the temperature. The crystalline phase formation at impact interface was dependent on the in-flight particle temperature. In addition, variations in the impact behavior need to be considered at high strain rate and in-flight particle temperature.

One of perspective direction of microfabrication is direct laser writing technology that allows to create metal, semiconductive and dielectric micropatterns on substrate surface. In this work, a two step method, the combination of seed forming process, in which metallic Al seed was selectively generated on AlN ceramic substrate by direct writing technique using a pulsed Nd : YAG laser and subsequent electroless Ni plating on the activated Al seed, was presented. The effects of laser parameters such as pulse energy, scanning speed and pulse frequency on shape of Alseed and conductor line after electroless Ni plating were investigated. The nature of the laser activated surface is analyzed from XPS data. The line width of this metallic Al and Ni is analyzed using SEM. As a results, Al seed line with 24㎛ width and 100㎛ isolated line space is obtained. Finally, laser direct writing can be applied in the field between thin and thick film technique in electronic industry.

본 연구는 평판형 히터용 금속방열판상의 세라믹 절연층 제조, 즉 절연성 금속기판에 관한 것이다. 반도체나 디스플레이의 열처리 공정 등에 사용되는 평판형 히터를 제조함에 있어서, 온도 균일도를 높이기 위해 금속 방열판으로서 열전도율이 높고, 비교적 가벼우며, 가공성 좋은 알루미늄 합금 기판이 선호된다. 이 알루미늄 기판에 발열 회로 패턴을 형성하기 위해서는 금속 기판에 절연층으로서 고온 안정성이 우수한 세라믹 유전체막을 코팅하여야 한다. 금속 기판상에 세라믹 절연층을 형성함에 있어서 가장 빈번히 발생하는 첫 번째 문제는 금속과 세라믹의 이종재료 간의 큰 열팽창계수 차이와 약한 결합력에 의한 층간박리 및 균열발생이다. 두 번째 문제는 절연층의 소재 및 구조적 결함에 따른 절연파괴이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점 해소를 위해 금속소재 기판과 세라믹 절연층 사이에 완충층을 도입하여 이들 간의 기계적 매칭과 접합력 개선을 도모하였고, 다중코팅 방법을 적용하여 절연막의 품질과 내전압 특성을 개선하고자 하였다.

Laser ablation was used to fabricate superconducting $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) thin films on metallic substrates with an YSZ buffer layer. An ArF excimer laser with an wavelength of 193 nm was used to deposit both YSZ buffer layer and superconducting thin film. The characterizations of thin films were performed and compared. With a 200 nm YSZ buffer layer, c-axis orientation and $T_c$=85 K were obtained for a 200 nm-thick YBCO film.
