We demonstrate the fabrication method of high-density and high-quality solder bump solving a copper (Cu) cross-contamination in Si-LSI laboratory. The Cu cross-contamination is solved by separating solder-bump process by two steps. Former is via-formation process excluding Cu/Ti under ball metallurgy (UBM) layer sputtering in Si-LSI laboratory. Latter is electroplating process including Ti-adhesion and Cu-seed layers sputtering out of Si-LSI laboratory. Thick photoresist (PR) is achieved by a multiple coating method. After TiW/Al-electrode sputtering for electroplating and via formation in Si-LSI laboratory, Cu/Ti UBM layer is sputtered on sample. The Cu-seed layer on the PR is etched during Cu-electroplating with low-electroplating rate due to a difference in resistance of UBM layer between via bottom and PR. Therefore Cu-buffer layer can be electroplated selectively at the via bottom. After etching the Ti-adhesion layer on the PR, Sn/Pb solder layer with a composition of 60/40 is electroplated using a tin-lead electroplating bath with a metal stoichiometry of 60/40 (weight percent ratio). Scanning electron microscope image shows that the fabricated solder bump is high-uniformity and high-quality as well as symmetric mushroom shape. The solder bumps with even 40/60 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter/pitch do not touch during electroplating and reflow procedures. The solder-bump process of high-uniformity and high-density with the Cu cross-contamination free in Si-LSI laboratory will be effective for electronic microwave application.

The chemical states of oxygen on the surfaces of $Pr_{1-x}Sr_{x}CoO_{3}$ (x=0.5 and 0.7) oxide systems were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Merged oxygen peaks of $Pr_{1-x}Sr_{x}CoO_{3}$ (x=0.5 and 0.7) oxides could be divided as five sub-peaks. These five sub-peaks could be defined as lattice oxygen ($O_{L}$). chemisorbed oxygen peaks ($O_{C}$) and hydroxyl condition oxygen peak ($O_{H}$). In case of the $Pr_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3}$ and $Pr_{0.3}Sr_{0.7}CoO_{3}$, the binding energy (BE) of oxygen lattice were located at same BE. However, the BE of chemisorbed oxygen peaks including oxygen vacancy shows different BE. Especially, it was found that BE of chemisorbed oxygen peaks was increased when more Sr were substituted. Comparing atomic percentages of oxygens of $Pr_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3}$ and $Pr_{0.3}Sr_{0.7}CoO_{3}$, the ratio of $Pr_{0.3}Sr_{0.7}CoO_{3}$ was higher than that of $Pr_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3}$. It showed more chemically adsorbed site including oxygen vacancies were existed in $Pr_{0.3}Sr_{0.7}CoO_{3}$.

This study is about the process capability index (PCI). In this study, we introduce several indices including the index $C_{PR}$ and present the characteristics of the $C_{PR}$ as well as its validity. The difference between the other indices and the $C_{PR}$ is the way we use to estimate the standard deviation. Calculating the index, most indices use sample standard deviation while the index $C_{PR}$ uses range R. The sample standard deviation is generally a better estimator than the range R. But in the case of the panel process, the $C_{PR}$ has more consistency than the other indices at the point of non-conforming ratio which is an important term in quality control. The reason why the $C_{PR}$ using the range has better consistency is explained by introducing the concept of 'flatness ratio'. At least one million cells are present in one panel, so we can't inspect all of them. In estimating the PCI, it is necessary to consider the inspection cost together with the consistency. Even though we want smaller sample size at the point of inspection cost, the small sample size makes the PCI unreliable. There is 'trade off' between the inspection cost and the accuracy of the PCI. Therefore, we should obtain as large a sample size as possible under the allowed inspection cost. In order for $C_{PR}$ to be used throughout the industry, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of the $C_{PR}$. Because the $C_{PR}$ is a kind of index including subgroup concept, the analysis should be done at the point of sample size of the subgroup. We present numerical analysis results of $C_{PR}$ by the data from the random number generating method. In this study, we also show the difference between the $C_{PR}$ using the range and the $C_P$ which is a representative index using the sample standard deviation. Regression analysis was used for the numerical analysis of the sample data. In addition, residual analysis and equal variance analysis was also conducted.

In this paper, we proposed a good classifier to match different spatial data sets by applying evaluation of classifiers performance in data mining and biometrics. For this, we calculated distances between a pair of candidate features for matching criteria, and normalized the distances by Min-Max method and Tanh (TH) method. We defined classifiers that shape similarity is derived from fusion of these similarities by CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) method, Matcher Weighting method and Simple Sum (SS) method. As results of evaluation of classifiers performance by Precision-Recall (PR) curve and area under the PR curve (AUC-PR), we confirmed that value of AUC-PR in a classifier of TH normalization and SS method is 0.893 and the value is the highest. Therefore, to match different spatial data sets, we thought that it is appropriate to a classifier that distances of matching criteria are normalized by TH method and shape similarity is calculated by SS method.

Recently, studies have been performed to improve the cache performance of the R-Tree in main memory. A general mothed to improve the cache performance of the R-Tree is to reduce size of an entry so that a node can store more entries and fanout of it can increase. However, this method generally requites additional process to reduce information of entries and do not support incremental updates. In addition, the cache miss always occurs on moving between a parent node and a child node. To solve these problems efficiently, this paper proposes and evaluates the PR-Tree that is an extended R-Tree indexing method using prefetching in main memory. The PR-Tree can produce a wider node to optimize prefetching without additional modifications on the R-Tree. Moreover, the PR-Tree reduces cache miss rates that occur in moving between a parent node and a child node. In our simulation, the search performance, the update performance, and the node split performance of the PR-Tree improve up to 38%. 30%, and 67% respectively, compared with the original R-Tree.

This study was carried out to find out the effect of cool-season turfgrass overseeding onto zoysiagrass(Zoysia japonica L.) for extending green color and solving traffic problem during dormant periods. Overseeding rates of cool-season turfgrasses were $10g/m^2$ of Kentucky bluegrass(KB1), $20g/m^2$of Kentucky b1uegrass(KB2), $60g/m^2$ of perennial ryegrass(PR), $80g/m^2$ of Tall fescue(TF), and $10g/m^2$ of Kentucky bluegrass + $10g/m^2$ of perennial ryegrass mixture(KB+PR) onto 2m${\times}$2m(width${\times}$length) zoysiagrass plots with 3 replications.1 to 9-sca1e of visual quality and visual color were measured after treatment, Consequently cool-season turfgrass overseeding gave a good performances of extending the green periods and enhancing the turf grass quality. KB1 and KB2 were found to be excellent performances for visual quality and visual color compared to PR, TF, KB+PR and control. KB2 showed better turf performances than KB1 within Kentucky bluegrass overseedings. Turfgrass color was kept up for 10 months by overseeding of cool-season turfgrasses(KB1, KB2, PR, TP, KB+PR) compared to about 5~6 months by zoysiagrass(Control). The visual quality and visual color of PR and TF showed good performances during a green-up period of spring, but decreasing tendencies through the summer.Percent diseases data revealed also higher ratings for PR and TF compared to for KB1 and KB2.

PR spectra of MBE grown AlGaAs/GaAs MQW have been measured at room temperature using the He-Ne laser and the Ar laser as the pump source. We have observed various subband transition peaks and PR spectra were fitted to standard analytic line shape. Above that results, obtained us transition energy from n=1 conduction band to heavy hole(C1-H1) and to light hole(C1-L1) subband. Photoluminescence(PL) at room temperature showed main peak with a shoulder. Good agreement between PL and PR measured n=1 intersubband transition energies was confirmed that PL main peak with a shoulder is associated with the C1-H1, C1-L1 transition. Additionally, we have calculated the C1-H1 and C1-L1 intersubband energy within envelope function approximation(EFA).

To determine whether the feeding of different species of hay affects the dry-matter intake and the serum cortisol level of sheep, 6 non-pregnant, non-lactating ewes were offered alfalfa (Medicago sativa) hay (Al), oats (Avena sativa) hay (Ot) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) hay (Pr) under 6 kinds of treatment including 1) change from Al to Ot, 2) Al to Pr, 3) Ot to Al, 4) Ot to Pr, 5) Pr to Al, and 6) Pr to Ot. The experimental design was a 6${\times}$6 Latin square with a 14 day period of which 9 days were a preliminary period and 5 days as a digestion trial period. The change in hay feeding was done abruptly on the first day of each period without an adaptation period. The blood from the jugular vein was collected on the first, third and the last day of each period through a sterile catheter for the analysis of cortisol. The dry-matter intake was recorded daily throughout the period. The mean daily intake of dry matter (DM, g/kg live weight) was significantly different among the 3 species of hay (Al>Ot>Pr; p<0.05). The digestibility of DM for Al and Ot was the same, but that for Pr was significantly lower than Al and Ot (p<0.05). The mean serum cortisol levels were significantly different among the hays (p<0.05). The level for Pr was the highest and that for Al was the lowest. The abrupt change of hay feeding of 6 treatments produced a significant change in the serum cortisol levels. The DM intake was inversely related to the change of the cortisol level. It is suggested that the animal' intake response to different species of hay may be partly motivated by the psychological feelings toward the hay offered.

The preventive hypolipidemic effect of the aqueous extracts of Picrorrhiza Rhizoma (PR) was observed in a high fat diet (HFD) feeding hyperlipidemic mouse with their hepatoprotective effects. PR extracts (50, 100 and 200mg/kg) were orally dosed once a day for 12 weeks initiated with HFD supply, and changes on body weight and gains, liver weight, serum aspartate transferase (AST) and alanine transferase (ALT) levels were monitored with serum low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride and total cholesterol levels. The efficacy of test articles was compared to that of 10mg/kg of simvastatin (SIMVA). Dramatic decrease of both absolute and relative liver weight was dose-dependently observed in all PR extract dosing groups as compared with HFD control group. The serum AST and ALT levels were dose-dependently decreased in PR extract dosing groups. The serum LDL, triglyceride and total cholesterol levels were dose-dependently decreased in PR extract dosing groups compared to that of HFD control group. The serum HDL levels were slightly but dose-dependently increased in PR extract dosing groups as compared with control group. The efficacy on the serum lipid levels of PR extracts was slighter than that of SIMVA. Based on these results, it is concluded that water extract of PR has a relatively good favorable preventive effects on the HFD inducing hyperlipidemia and hepatopathy.
