Experimental studies of laser micromachining on Mo metal using piezo Q-switched Nd:YAG laser have been performed. Miniaturized microcolumn electron gun arrays as a potential electron beam lithography or portable mini-scanning electron microscope application have recently extensively examined. For these purpose, the electro-static electron lens and deflector system called microcolumn has to be assembled. The conventional microcolumn fabrication technique would gave a limitation on the minimization of aberration. The current technique of a 1 $\mu$m misalignment would lead to ~1.3 nm coma. In order to reduce aberration, assembling the microcolumn component followed by laser drilling should be very beneficial. In this report, we will address the preliminary report of laser micromachining on Mo substrate using piezo Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The geometrical figures, such as the diameter and the depth of the frilled aperture are dependent upon the total energy of the laser pulse train, laser pulsewidth, and the diameter of laser beam in addition to the materials-dependent parameters.

We propose an optical and an electrical detection methods for detecting various bio-molecules effectively with microcantilevers. The microcantilevers were fabricated employing surface micromachining technique that has attractive advantages in terms of cost efficiency, simplicity and ability of fabricating in array. The fluid cell system for injection of bio-molecular solution is fabricated using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and a fused silica glass. The microcantilever is deflected with respect to the difference of the surface stress caused by the formation of self-assembled bio-molecules on the gold coated side of the microcantilever. It detected cystamine dihydrochloride and glutaraldehyde molecules and analyzed individual concentrations of the cystamine dihydrochloride solution. We confirm that the deflections of bending-up or bending-down are occurred by the bio-molecule adsorption and microcantilever can be widely used to a ${\mu}-TAS$ and a lab-on-a-chip for a potential detection of various bio-molecules.

과거 10년 동안 마이크로 전자 공학의 극소형화는 실리콘 기판상에서 평면구조를 제작하는 기 술의 발전을 가져왔으며 정보처리 분야에 일대 혁명을 가져왔다. 그런데 지금은 이 기술의 발 전으로 기계공학에서도 이에 상응하는 연구개발이 진행되고 있으니 이를 총칭하여 마이크로 가 공기술(micromachining)이라 부른다. 기계, 광학, 전자 부품의 마이크로 집적화는 하나의 마이 크로 시스템으로 구현되어 기술혁신의 새로운 영역을 개척할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이 새로운 기술은 마이크론 단위의3차원 초정밀 가공을 가능케 함으로써 미래 메카트로닉스 (mechatronics)의 새로운 영역으로 자리잡게 될 것으로 전망한다. 이 글에서는 마이크로 시스템에 대해서 기술하고자 한다.

This paper presents a technique for fabricating an electro-optical microlens for microcolumn e-beam system. The device, named Self-Aligned Microlens (SAM) was realized by mixing surface and bulk micromachining technology. The microbridges were formed on both sides of silicon wafer symmetrically. The alignment error between the electrodes could be controlled within a few micrometers with also reducing the numbers of anodic bonding.

Laser beam machining has been known as efficient for glass micromachining. It is usually used the ultra-short pulsed laser which is time-consuming and uneconomic process. In order to use economic and powerful long pulsed laser, indirect processing called laser-induced backside wet etching (LIBWE) is good alternative method. In this paper, micromachining of glass using Nd:YAG laser with nanosecond pulsed beam has been attempted. In order to improve shape accuracy, combined processing with magnetic stirrer has been widely used. Magnetic stirrer acts to circulate the solution and remove the bubble but it is not suitable for deep hole machining. To get better effect, ultrasonic vibration was applied for improving shape accuracy.

In these day, fabrication technologies for micro parts become more important with the increase of interest on microsystem and developed through the various approaches in the whole world. Among these technologies; micro mechanical machining is one of the most effective methods for the fabrication of micro parts. In this study, we fabricated micro shafts using micro endmill and micromachining system and measured the cutting force at the process. Also, Based on the data, we simulated the deformation of micro shafts due to the cutting force. Through the simulation results, it was verified that the cutting force at the process is enough to cause dimensional error at the micro shafts.

Micronization of sensor is a trend of the silicon sensor development with regard to a piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor, the size of the pressure sensor diaphragm have become smaller year by year, and a microaccelerometer with a size less than 200~300${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ has been realized. Over the past four or five years, numerical modeling of microsensors and microstructures has gradually been developed as a field of microelectromechanical system(MEMS) design process. In this paper, we study some of the micromachining processes of single crystal silicon(SCS) for the microaccelerometer, and their subsequent processes which might affect thermal and mechanical loads. The finite element method(FEM) has been a standard numerical modeling technique extensively utilized in structural engineering discipline for component design of microaccelerometer. Temperature rise sufficiently low at the suspended beams. Instead, larger temperature gradient can be seen at the bottom of paddle part. The center of paddle part becomes about 5~2$0^{\circ}C$ higher than the corner of paddle and suspended beam edges.

In this paper, we report a fabrication of InP-based microstructurs for III-V compound semiconductor micromachining. Vertical liquid phase epitaxy(LPE) system was used in order to grow the InP/lnGaAsP/InP layers. The thicknesses of InP top-layer and InGaAsP were $1\mum \;and \;0.4\mum$, respectively. The fabrication of InGaAsP microstructures involves front-side bulk micromachining. The experimental result showed the beams must be carefully aligned in the <100> direction since the etching of the beam in the <100> direction is more faster than that of the beam in the <110> and <110> direction.
