A $CO_2$ laser overlay was conducted by using a Fe-based powder on the AC2B aluminum substrate. Cracks and intermetallic compounds (IMC) were observed inconsistently along the interface between the overlay and post-molten layer. A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) detected some Fe-rich IMC ($Fe_3Al$, FeAl) as well as the brittle Al-rich IMC ($Fe_2Al_5,\;FeAl_3$). Micro vickers hardness proved the formation of Al-rich IMC ($FeAl_3$) along the interface by showing HV0.1 $800{\sim}900$. Furthermore, nano indentation was successfully applied to investigate the behavior of IMC more precisely than the micro vickers hardness.

The main findings from the analysis of the micro-determinants of joining union are : Firstly, joining union is mainly determined by union reach (supply-side) rather than by union propensity (demand-side). Secondly, union existence is closely correlated with firm size. Thirdly, job satifaction is not statistically significant with joining union, though it is significant with non-union workers' propensity to join union. Finally, trade union movement is required to extend union reach and emphasize institutional and behavioral factors for increasing union density.

Rapidity and flexibility are very important in the electronic components industry. The laser process provides the industry with more rapidity and flexibility. For this reason, the laser process is considered as an acceptable method in terms of rapidity and flexibility. In this study, a wide range of experiments have been carried out on the gold wire-to-nickel thin film joining using the continuous wave fiber laser. In particular, changes in the shape of joint depending on the changes of a target point have been observed.

Hybrid material(ceramic+metal) processes were developed for micro filter using ceramics coating at metal filter surface by thermal spray method, micro hole drilling at ceramic coated filter surface by femtosecond laser, and fiber laser direct welding of ceramic and metal (SUS304, SM45C) by capillary effect. Thermal spray process was used for ceramic powders and metal filters. The used ceramic powders were $Al_2O_3+40TiO_2$(Metco 131VF) powder of maximum particle size $5{\mu}m$ and ${Al_2O_3}99+$(Metco 54NS) power of maximum particle size 45m. Ceramic coated filters using thermal spray method had a great influence on powder material, particle size and coating thickness but had a fine performance as a micro filter. CW fiber laser was used to drill the top ceramic layer and melt the bottom metal layer for joining applications.

In this paper, the principles, types and characteristics of the laser and laser soldering are introduced. Laser soldering methods for electronics, metals, semiconductors are also presented. Laser soldering is a non-contact process that transfers energy to solder joint by a precisely controlled beam. Demands for laser soldering are increasing due to bonding for complex circuits and local heating in micro joint. Laser absorption ratio depends on materials, and each material has different absorption or reflectivity of the laser beam, which requires fine adjustment of the laser beam. Laser types and operating conditions are also important factors for laser soldering performance. In this paper, the performance of Nd:YAG laser soldering is compared to the hot blast reflow. Meanwhile, a diode laser gives different wavelength and smaller parts with high performance, but it has various reliability issues such as heat loss, high power, and cooling technology. These issues need to be improved in the future, and further studies for laser micro-joining and soldering are required.

In this paper, we introduce the development trends of power devices which is the key component for power conversion system in electric vehicles, and discuss the characteristics of the next-generation wide-bandgap (WBG) power devices. We provide an overview of the characteristics of the present mainstream Si insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) devices and technology roadmap of Si IGBT by different manufacturers. Next, recent progress and advantages of SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) which are the most important unipolar devices, is described compared with conventional Si IGBT. Furthermore, due to the limitations of the current GaN power device technology, the issues encountered in applying the power conversion module for electric vehicles were described.

Micro soldering 기술의 응용은 주로 전자제품에 이용되며, 특히 컴퓨터 정보 통신 기기의 집합.접속 기술의 중추적인 역할을 하고 있다. 아울러 이 분야는 일본, 미국이 선구적인 역할을 하고 있으며, 예를 들어 일본 전자산업의 1994년도 생산액이 앤 고의 열쇠에 불구하고 민생용.산업용 전자기기 및 전자 부품의 3부분에서 약 .yen.30조(250조원)에 달한 것으로 보면 그 규모 및 중요성을 알 수 있다. 이것은 기본 적으로 반도체의 집적도가 높아진것(LSI.rarw.VLSI.rarw.ULSI)과 아울러 소자를 접합 접속시키는 기술이 확보되었기 때문에 이루어진 결과라고 말할 수 있다. 따라서 본 기술 해설에서는 접합.접속 기술의 하나인 Micro soldering의 각종 프로세스 중에서 도 특히 기본이 되는 리플로우 프로세스(reflow process)를 중심으로 기술하였으며 아울러 신뢰성의 제반사항에 관하여 간략하게 기술하였다.
