Nowadays, the development of microfluidic chip [i.e. biochip, micro-total analysis system ($\mu$-TAS) and LOC (lab-on-a-chip)] becomes more active, and the microchannels to deliver fluid by pressure or electroosmotic forces tend to be more complex like electronic circuits or networks. For a simple network of channels, we may calculate the pressure and the flow rate easily by using suitable formula. However, for complex network it is not handy to obtain such information with that simple way. For this reason, Graphic User Interface (GUI) program which can rapidly give required information should be necessary for microchip designers. In this paper, we present a GUI program developed in our laboratory and the simple theoretical formula used in the program. We applied our program to simple case and could get results compared well with other numerical results. Further, we applied our program to several complex cases and obtained reasonable results.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a technology that can input identification information to microchip and make goods, animals, persons recognized, chased, and managed using radio frequency, and is founded on the core technology of ubiquitous environment of the future. In this paper, we propose a RFID integrated system designed to manage the lifecycle of an individual product efficiently. The proposed system can enable traceability and visibility of items through their entire life by integrating distribution and banking information on the basis of EPCglobal Network. It may provide the infra of Digital Manufacturing and RTE (Real Time Enterprise) and effective information sharing structure with existing legacy system (ERP, CRM, SCM) by real time.

High current behaviors of the grounded gate extended drain N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field effects transistor (GG_EDNMOS) electro-static discharge (ESD) protection devices are analyzed. Simulation based contour analyses reveal that combination of BJT operation and deep electron channeling induced by high electron injection gives rise to the 2-nd on-state. Thus, the deep electron channel formation needs to be prevented in order to realize stable and robust ESD protection performance. Based on our analyses, general methodology to avoid the double snapback and to realize stable ESD protection is to be discussed.

The mechanical properties of mullite $(3Al_2O_3\;2SiO_2)$ environmental barrier coatings are determined using a laser-based ultrasonic system. The waveforms generated by a laser source in mullite coatings in the $1-20{\mu}m$ thickness range are evaluated theoretically using the integral transform technique. It is shown that the laser source generated the two lowest order SAW modes in these systems. Experimental waveforms are generated using a 600ps pulsed Nd:YAG microchip laser and detected using a stabilized Michelson interferometer. The dispersion curves for the generated modes are extracted from the experimental data and the mechanical properties of the coatings are obtained by minimizing the error between the measured and calculated velocity values. The waveforms generated in mullite coatings agree well with theory and laser-based ultrasonics is shown to provide an effective tool for the nondestructive evaluation of ceramic coatings.

On this study, an End-Effector for the 300mm wafer transfer robot System is newly suggested. It is a mechanical type with $180^{\circ}$ rotating ranges and is composed of 3-point arms, two plate springs and single-axis DC motor. It is controlled by microchip for the DC motor control. To design, relationships on the gripping force and the wafer deformation is analyzed by FEM analysis. Criterion on gripping force of a suggested End-Effector is confirmed as $255 ~ 274g_f$ from experimental results. From experimented results on repeatable position accuracy, gripping force and gripping cycle times in a wafer cleaning system, we confirmed that the suggested End-Effector is well satisfied on the required performance for 300mm wafer transfer robot system.

Improvement of the speed of the gantry among equipment that mounts a chip using SMT can improve productivity. In order to improve the performance of the gantry, there are studies such as a method of increasing the speed of adsorption, the speed of the gantry by reducing the weight, and a method of facilitating the use of the gantry. But all of these are ways of improving equipment. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the speed of gantry mounting microchip. The method is to shorten the driving time of the gantry. To do this, calculate the driving time using the existing method. And we calculate the travel time using the method presented in this paper. As a result, the time calculated by the proposed method is reduced by 14%.

The purpose of this study is to improve repeatability of a non-invasive blood glucose measurement. The portable NIR system that was newly integrated by our lab includes a tungsten halogen lamp, a specialized reflectance fiber optic probe and a photo diode array type InGaAs detector, which was developed by a microchip technology based on the lithography. Reflectance NIR spectra of finger tip were recorded by using a fiber optic probe. The probe was fixed in the system and subjects put their finger on the probe head. (omitted)

The most rapid Real-time PCR based detection method for Avian influenza A virus (AIV) subtype H5N1 was developed. The target DNA sequence in this study was deduced from H5N1 subtype-specific 387 bp partial gene of hemagglutinin, and was synthesized by using PCR-based gene synthesis on the ground of safety. Real-Time PCR was performed by $GenSpector^{TM}$ using microchip-based, total $1{\mu}l$ of reaction mixture with extremely short time in each steps in PCR. The detection including PCR-amplication and analysis of melting temperature was totally completed within 13 min. The H5N1-specific 189 bp PCR product was correctly amplified until 2.4 molecules of hemagglutinin gene as minimum of templates. This kind of PCR was designated as Quick Real-Time PCR in this study and it could be applied to detect not only AIV H5N1, but also other pathogens using PCR-based detection.

For the detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), ultra-rapid real-time PCR methods were developed. The target DNA sequences were used 495 bp HIV-1-specific env gene (gi_1184090) and 294 bp HIV-2-specific env gene (gi_1332355). Ultra-rapid real-time PCR was peformed by $Genspector^{TM}$ (Samsung, Korea) using microchip-based, $6\;{\mu}l$ of reaction volume with extremely short running time in only 2 steps (denaturation, annealing/extension) in each cycle of PCR. Total reaction for 30 cycled ultra-rapid PCR detection including melting temperature analysis was completed in 7 min and 30 sec. The HIV-1-specific 117 bp-long or HIV-2-spe-cific 119 bp-long PCR products were successfully amplified from the minimum of template, $2.3{\times}10^3$ copies of each euv gene using 30 cycled two-steps ultra-rapid PCR. This kind of ultra-rapid real-time PCR method would be useful not only for the rapid-detection of HIV, but also rapid-detection of other pathogens.
