This paper presents the effect of organic Ag complex sintering temperature on the MEH-PPV photoluminescence (PL) properties. MEH-PPV and organic Ag complex was coated on the glass substrate by spin coating method. The coated Ag complex was sintered in an air atmosphere. The sintering temperature was varied from 100 to $200^{\circ}C$ and sintering time was 5 min. The Ag film sintered at temperature higher than $120^{\circ}C$ shows very low sheet resistance less than $0.5\;{\Omega}{/\square}$. The coated MEH-PPV measure photoluminescence (PL) intensity at 580 nm. The PL peak was shifted to the higher wavelength with increasing the sintering temperature.

We have investigated low temperature sintering characteristics of organic Ag complex. Organic Ag complex was coated on the glass substrate by spin coating method. The coated Ag complex was sintered in an air atmosphere. The sintering temperature was varied from 100 to $300^{\circ}C$ and sintering time was varied from 1 to 4 min. The thickness of the coated film was significantly decreased as the film was sintered at the temperature between 110 and $120^{\circ}C$. The sintered Ag film at temperature higher than $115^{\circ}C$ shows very low sheet resistance less than 1 ${\Omega}{/\square}$.

We have investigated low temperature sintering characteristics of organic Ag complex. Organic Ag complex was coated on the glass substrate by spin coating method. The coated Ag complex was sintered in an air atmosphere. The sintering temperature was varied from 30 to $80^{\circ}C$ and sintering time was varied from 1 to 228 hour. The sheet resistance was abruptly changed at $80^{\circ}C$-6h, $65^{\circ}C$-24h, $30^{\circ}C$-228 hour and the thickness of the coated film was significantly decreased. The sheet resistance of Ag films were about $0.53\;{\Omega}/{\square}$ at the $80^{\circ}C$ - 12hour.

In this study, the complex vibration reliability of Sn-3.5Ag and Sn-0.7Cu having a high melting temperature was investigated. For manufacturing of BGA test samples, Sn-3.5Ag and Sn-0.7Cu balls were joined on BGA chips finished by ENIG and the chips were mounted on PCB finished OSP by using reflow process. For measuring of resistance change during complex vibration test, daisy chain was formed in the test board. From the results of resistance change and shear strength change, the reliability of two solder balls was compared and evaluated. During complex vibration for 120 hours, Sn-0.7Cu solder was more stable than Sn-3.5Ag solder in complex vibration test.

We present a method for chemically reducing silver alkylcarbamate complex with hydrazine to synthesize silver nanocolloids in an organic solvent using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the stabilizer. To determine the optimal conditions for preparing stable silver colloids of controlled size and shape, the silver 2-ethylhexylcarbamate (Ag-EHCB) complex, PVP, hydrazine, and 2-propanol solvent concentrations in the reaction mixture were varied. The initial colloid has a mean particle diameter of 5-80 nm, and it exhibits an absorption band with various shapes in the UV region with a maximum near 420 nm. UV-vis spectroscopy, TEM, and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to investigate the formation and growth process of the metallic silver nanocolloids.

Monodisperse polystyrene and its copolymer beads containing amine function were prepared for the electroless silver plating using reduction of silver alkylcarbamate complex in organic solvent. Soap-free emulsion polymerization was adopted for the polymerization of styrene, divinylbenzene (DVB), and 2-(N,N-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DAEMA) in the presence of poly (vinyl alcohol) in a water/methanol solvent. The resulting poly (styrene/DVB/DAEMA), containing 30/0$\sim$1.5/0$\sim$3 wt% in monomer composition, were found to be a sphere-type particle with diameter of 1 ${\mu}m$. Silver Ag-coated polystyrene beads were prepared by in sito reduction of a silver 2-ethylhexylcarbamate (Ag-EHCB) complex solution with hydrazine without pretreatment of polystyrene beads. Robust Ag/polystyrene beads were analyzed by SEM, UV -visible spectrometer and XRD.

A polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/Ag nanocomposites was prepared by the simultaneous thermal reduction and radical polymerization route. The in situ synthesis of the Ag/PVP nanocomposites is based on the finding that the silver n-propylcarbamate (Ag-PCB) complex can be directly dissolved in the NVP monomer, and decomposed by only heat treatment in the range of 110 to $130^{\circ}C$ to form silver metal. Silver nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution (5 - 40 nm) were obtained, which were well dispersed in the PVP matrix. A successful synthesis of Ag/PVP nanocomposites then proceeded upon heat treatment as low as $110^{\circ}C$. Moreover, important advantages of the in situ synthesis of Ag/PVP composites include that no additives (e.g. solvent, surface-active agent, or reductant of metallic ions) are used, and that the stable silver nanocolloid solution can be directly prepared in high concentration simply by dissolving the Ag/PVP nanocomposites in water or organic solvent.

Silver nanopowders were prepared from silver 2-ethylhexylcarbamate (Ag-EHCB) complexes by simple thermal reduction at $85^{\circ}C$ without any reducing agent in organic solvent. 2-Ethylhexylammonium 2-ethylhexylcarbamate (EHAEHC) was investigated in terms of their abilities to stabilize the silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and its subsequent effects on the preventing aggregation between Ag-NPs. Conditions (concentration of stabilizer and reaction time) used to reduce Ag-EHCB complex were systematically varied to determine their effects on the sizes of Ag-NPs. The formation of the stabilized Ag-NPs were easily monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy and characterized by TGA, TEM, SEM and XRD. When EHAEHC was used as a stabilizer, Ag-NPs of 10-30 nm in diameter were easily obtained in high yield. Silver patterns were obtained from a silver nano-paste by heat treatment at $200^{\circ}C$ in air and were found to have resistivity values of $2.9{\times}10^{-8}\;{\Omega}{\cdot}m$.

Controlled reduction of silver alkylcarbamate complexes with hydrogen gas was investigated as a facile synthetic method for high concentrations of silver nanocolloids in organic solvent. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used to stabilize the silver colloids obtained from the chemical reduction. To determine optimum conditions for preparation of the stable and controlled silver colloids with the narrowest particle size and distribution, a large number of experiments were carried out involving variations in the concentrations of the silver 2-ethylhexylcarbamate (Ag-EHCB) complex, PVP, and 2-propanol. The initial colloid had a mean particle diameter between 5$\sim$50 nm, as measured by transmission electron microscopy, and exhibited a sharp absorption band in the UV region with a maximum size near 420 nm. After treatment with a reducing agent, the colloids were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

환경 오염에 대한 우려의 목소리가 높아지면서 Green chemistry 분야가 각광을 받고 있다. 이 분야에서는 환경에 영향을 적게 미치기 위한 방법의 일환으로 촉매를 연구하며, 그 촉매는 착화합물인 경우가 많다. 그러나 착화합물 내에서 리간드와 금속 이온간의 결합은 예측하기 어렵다. 이는 전형금속보다는 전이금속에서 더욱 심하며, 그 중 한 예로 전이금속에서는 여러 개의 금속 이온이 서로 직접적으로 결합한 채 리간드와 결합하는 착화합물이 발견되기도 한다. 다중 금속 착화합물(Multimetal Complex)로 부르는 이러한 구조는 특유의 복잡함 때문에 잘 알려져 있지 않음에도 불구하고 착화합물의 물리적, 화학적 성질에 직접적으로 영향을 주기에 촉매나 센서, 특히 이를 이용하여 구조체를 만드는 MOF(Metal-Organic Framework) 분야에서는 꼭 알고 있어야 하는 사항이다. 이 연구에서는 GAMESS로 density functional theory (B3LYP functional)를 이용한 양자계산을 수행하여 그 중 가장 간단한 구조인 Dimetal Complex, 그 중에서도 MOF 내에서 많이 발견되는 수차 형태(Paddle wheel) 착화합물에 대해서 다루었다. Cu를 기준으로 그와 비슷한 주기나 족에 있는 Ru, Ag, Zn 등의 금속으로 만든 Paddle wheel 구조의 에너지를 비교하여 Cu가 다른 금속에 비해 이 구조를 안정하게 형성할 수 있는 이유를 알아보았다. 더 나아가 이 구조가 MOF의 형성과 성질에 어떠한 연관성이 있는지 분석함으로써 어떠한 조건이 MOF의 성질을 극대화시킬 수 있는지도 알아보았다.
