This paper describes a MEMS-based micro-fluxgate magnetic sensing element using Ni$\_$0.8/Fe$\_$0.2/ film formed by electroplating. The micro-fluxgate magnetic sensor composed of a thin film magnetic core and micro-structured solenoids for the pick-up and the excitation coils, is developed by using MEMS technologies in order to take advantage of low-cost, small size and lower power consumption in the fabrication. A copper with 20um width and 3um thickness is electroplated on Cr(300${\AA}$)/Au(1500${\AA}$) films for the pick-up(42turn) and the excitation(24turn) coils. In order to improve the sensitivity of the sensing element, we designed the magnetic core into a rectangular-ring shape to reduce the magnetic flux leakage. An electroplated permalloy film with the thickness of 3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ is obtained under 2000Gauss to induce magnetic anisotropy. The magnetic core has the high DC effective permeability of ∼1,100 and coercive field of -0.1Oe. The fabricated sensing element using rectangular-ring shaped magnetic film has the sensitivity of about 150V/T at the excitation frequency of 2MHz and the excitation voltage of 4.4Vp-p. The power consumption is estimated to be 50mW.

In order to verify to what extent the rancidity of the soybean oil is occurred and how the various metal ions effect on the rancidity-as a result of applying heat to the soybean oil-the followings are obtained through experiments : 1. From analyzing the refractive index of soybean oil, The results are: the specific gravity-0.925 refractive index-1.475, saponification value-190, acetyl value-5.0, iodine value-120, peroxide value-5.0. 2. The degree of expediting rancidity take the following order : $Cu^{++}$/$Fe^{++}$/$Cr^{++}$/$Zn^{++}$/$Ni^{++}$/$Al^{+++}$. 3. The degree of expediting rancidity of $Cu^{++}$and $Fe^{++}$ is showed the abrubt increase of peroxide value in accordance with the increase of densidity. The most abrubt increase of peroxide show when the duration of heating reaches to the range between 20 minutes and 30 minutes. After heating for 60 minutes no definite variation is showed. 4. The degree of rancidity in heating the soybean oil added $Cu^{++}$, Fe and BHA shows the decrease of peroxide value by 2, 3 after adding $Cu^{++}$0.5 ppm. and heating for 30 minutes. As the result of measuring the value of peroxide after adding $Cu^{++}$ by 1.0 ppm and BHA by 0.01% and heating, peroxide shows the decrease by 7.8 when adding anti-oxidant. $Fe^{++}$ as well as $Cu^{++}$ shows that BHA prevents the metal ions from the expedition of rancidity.

The conversion of solar energy into acoustic waves is experimentally studied. Measurements were made on the Sound Pressure Level (SPL), frequency, onset time and the temperature gradient across the stack. A pyrex resonance tube is used with a honey-comb structure ceramic stack along with Ni-Cr and Cu wires. An AL1 acoustical analyzer was used to measure the SPL and frequency of acoustic waves whereas K-type thermocouples were hired to estimate temperature gradients. For a resonance tube of 100mm, no acoustic waves were generated with a power input of 25W. By increasing its length to 200mm, however, maximum SPLs of 96.4 dB, 106.3 dB and 112.8 dB were detected for the tubes of 10mm, 20mm and 30mm in IDs and their respective stack positions of 70mm, 60mm and 50mm from the closed end.

304 stainless steel plate was colored by hot dip and electrochemical treatment in a solution containing sulphuric and chromic acids. In the process, treatment variables such as operating time and methode were changed. The surface characteristics that changed by the treatment of the samples such as surface composition, oxide film thickness, color, surface roughness and reflectivity were studied. Surface composition was varied as follows. Fe was decreased, but Cr and O were increased. Ni was increased until 20 min, but reveals decreasing tendency as time passed after that. These means the surface film becomes chrome rich oxide phase as the treatment times increase. The thickness of film was about 220 nm at 30 min by dip treatment and it reduced as the treatment times increased. On the other hand, the thickness was about 150 nm at 10 min by electrochemical method and it doesn't increased with time. Surface color changed from metallic white of the base plate to gray, black, red, and green-blue, gradually, as the treating time increased. The reflectivity of colored surface measured by UVVIS-NIR spectrophotometer was reduced from max 38% of basis metal to min 3.5%.

We investigated how hydroxyapatite (HA) coating onto a porous super stainless steel (S.S.S, 22Cr-20Ni-6Mo-0.25N) affects bone ingrowth in a dog transcortical femoral model. Implants were histologically evaluated after 4 and 48 weeks of implantation, and the bone bonding strength at the bone/implant interface was examined by employing the pull-out test. The direct osseous tissue bonding onto the HA-coated S.S.S was observed, but the uncoated stainless steels had thin fibrous tissue layers. The mean interface strength of the HA-coated S.S.S was 1.5 and 2.5 times greater than those of the S.S.S and the 316L SS after one year of implantation, respectively. In preliminary studies, no toxic responce was observed from a cytotoxicity test of the S.S.S, having similar corrosion resistance to titanium. Our results suggest that early osteoconductive nature of HA coating may induce long term osteointegration for a bioinert substrate.

광 결정 발광 다이오드를 제작하는데 있어서 문제가 되는, 표면 비 발광 재결합을 줄이기 위해서 $(NH_4)_2S_x$ 패시베이션 효과를 연구하였고, 실제 소자를 공정하였다. $(NH_4)_2S_x$ 패시베이션의 영향을 알아보기 위해서, GaAs 기판위에 10쌍 다중 양자 우물 구조를 가진, 에피탁시를 이용하여 광 결정 다이오드를 제작하였고, 그 후 패시베이션 처리를 하였다. 광 결정 격자 상수는 600 nm 였고, 전자 빔 노광기법을 이용하여 패턴을 만들었다. 패시베이션효과는 시분해 발광 측정을 이용하여 캐리어 라이프 타임의 변화를 통해 확인 할 수 있었다. 광 결정 구조가 없는 발광 다이오드에서의 라이프 타임은 2206 ps였고, 광 결정 구조를 가진 발광다이오드에서의 라이프타임은 831ps였다. 이는 식각된 구멍의 표면에서 비 발광 재결합이 증가했다는 것을 의미한다. 패시베이션 처리된 광 결정 발광다이오드의 라이프 타임은 1560 ps 으로 광 결정 구조의 표면에서 발생된 비 발광 표면 재결합이 상당히 줄었음을 알 수 있다. 상용 에피탁시에 실제 소자에 적용 가능한 광 결정 발광 다이오드를 제작하였다. 상용 에피탁시는 20쌍의 다중 양자우물과, 16쌍의 Distributed Bragg Reflector를 가진 구조이다. 이 상용 에피탁시에 광 결정 구조를 만들기 위해서 니켈 크롬 (NiCr) 마스크를 사용하였고, 기존 식각 시간보다 세배 길어진 식각 시간을 달성하였다.

This study investigates the effect of thermo-mechanical treatment on the damping capacity of the Fe-20Mn-12Cr-3Ni-3Si alloy with deformation induced martensite transformation. Dislocation, ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ and ${\varepsilon}-martensite$ are formed, and the grain size is refined by deformation and thermo-mechanical treatment. With an increasing number cycles in the thermo-mechanical treatment, the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}-martensite$ increases and then decreases, whereas dislocation and ${\alpha}^{\prime}-martensite$ increases, and the grain size is refined. In thermo-mechanical treated specimens with five cycles, more than 10 % of the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}-martensite$ and less than 3 % of the volume fraction of ${\alpha}^{\prime}-martensite$ are attained. Damping capacity decreases by thermo-mechanical treatment and with an increasing number of cycles of thermo-mechanical treatment, and this result shows an opposite tendency for general metal with deformation induced martensite transformation. The damping capacity of the thermo-mechanical treated damping alloy with deformation induced martensite transformation greatly affect the formation of dislocation, grain refining and ${\alpha}^{\prime}-martensite$ and then ${\varepsilon}-martensite$ formation by thermo-mechanical treatment.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate weld metallurgical phenomena such as primary solidification mode, microstructural evolution and hot cracking susceptibility in nitrogen-bearing austenitic stainless steel GTA welds. Eight experimental heats varying nitrogen content from 0.007 to 0.23 wt.% were used in this study. Autogenous GTA welding was performed on weld coupons and the primary solidification mode and their microstructural characteristics were investigated from the fusion welds. Varestraint test was employed to evaluate the solidification cracking susceptibility of the heats and TCL(Total Crack Length) was used as cracking susceptibility index. The solidification mode shifted from primary ferrite to primary austenite with an increase in nitrogen content. Retained delta ferrite exhibited a variety of morphology as nitrogen content varied. The weld fusion zone exhibited duplex structure(austenite+ferrite) at nitrogen contents less than 0.10 wt.% but fully austenitic structure at nitrogen contents more than 0.20 wt.%. The weld fusion zone in alloys with about 0.15 wt.% nitrogen experienced primary austenite + primary ferrite solidification (mode AF) and contained delta ferrite less than 1% at room temperature. Regarding to solidification cracking susceptibility, the welds with fully austenitic structure exhibited high cracking susceptibility while those with duplex structure low susceptibility. The cracking susceptibility increased slowly with an increase in nitrogen content up to 0.20 wt.% but sharply as nitrogen content exceeded 0.20 wt.%, which was attributed to solidification mode shift fro primary ferrite to primary austenite single phase solidification.

The current study investigates the electroplating characteristics of Sn-Cu eutectic micro-bumps electroplated on a Si chip for flip chip application. Under bump metallization (UBM) layers consisting of Cr, Cu, Ni and Au sequentially from bottom to top with the aim of achieving Sn-Cu bumps $10\times10\times6$ ${\mu}m$ in size, with 20${\mu}m$ pitch. In order to determine optimal plating parameters, the polarization curve, current density and plating time were analyzed. Experimental results showed the equilibrium potential from the Sn-Cu polarization curve is -0.465 V, which is attained when Sn-Cu electro-deposition occurred. The thickness of the electroplated bumps increased with rising current density and plating time up to 20 mA/$cm^2$ and 30 min respectively. The near eutectic composition of the Sn-0.72wt%Cu bump was obtained by plating at 10 mA/$cm^2$ for 20 min, and the bump size at these conditions was $10\times10\times6$ ${\mu}m$. The shear strength of the eutectic Sn-Cu bump was 9.0 gf when the shearing tip height was 50% of the bump height.
