Wrought Si-steels are generally used for electromagnetic valves, which are needed good response. To date, Hitachi Powdered Metals Co., Ltd. have produced Fe-Si base sintered magnetic material, EU-52, which shows a magnetic flux density of more than 1.25T at 2000A/m and a maximum permeability of more than 3500. However these magnetic properties are lower than that of wrought Si-steels. Because EU-52 has a low density of $7.2Mg/m^3$. For improving the magnetic properties, it is necessary to increase the density of sintered cores. To increase density, a new mixing method of coating fine Si powders on atomized iron powders was developed, for avoiding the Kirkendall effect. As the result, developed P/M Fe-Si magnetic cores shows higher density of $7.38Mg/m^3$, higher magnetic flux density of 1.48T at 2000A/m and higher maximum permeability of 6800.

SiO2 doped sapphire single crystals were grown by Verneuil method using feed material which prepared by adding SiO2 in Al2O3. Crystal growing were attempted with varing doping amount of SiO2 from 0.01 to 1.0 wt% and when the doping amount of SiO2 were 0.01~0.04 wt%, single crystals could be attained. Starting materials for feed powder were 99.99% purity alumina and extra pure SiO2 powder. Mixing these two materials by wet milling for 24 hours and drying the mixture and then was calcined at 900~110$0^{\circ}C$ for 2~4 hours. The grown crystals had yellowish color and were somewhat transparent. During growing process the flow range of oxygen was 5~7.5ι/min and of hydrogen was 13~25ι/min, the average growth rate was 7.0~11 mm/hr. The pressure of gases were fixed at 5psi. The color of crystal was appeared and mechanical property of sapphire was developed by doping of SiO2.

This paper describes on RIE(Reactive Ion Etching) characteristics of 3C-SiC(Silicon Carbide) grown on Si(100) wafers. In this work, CHF$_3$ gas was used to form the polymer as a function of a side-wall for excellent anisotropy etching during the RIE process. The ranges of the etch rate were obtained from 60 $\AA$/min to 980 $\AA$/min according to the conditions such as working gas pressure, RF power, distance between electrodes and the $O_2$ addition ratio in working gas pressure. Under the condition such as 100 mTorr of working gas pressure, 200 W of RF power and 30 mm of the distance between electrodes, mesa structures with about 40 of the etch angle were formed, and the vertical structures could be improved with 50 % of $O_2$ addition ratio in reactive gas during the RIE process. As a result of the investigation, we know that it is possible to apply the RIE process of 3C-SiC using CHF$_3$ for the development of electronic parts and MEMS applications in harsh environments.

In this study, we examined the quasi-nonvolatile memory characteristics of silicon nanosheet (SiNS) feedback field-effect transistors (FBFETs) fabricated using a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process. The SiNS channel layers fabricated by photoresist overexposure method had a width of approximately 180 nm and a height of 70 nm. The SiNS FBFETs operated in a positive feedback loop mechanism and exhibited an extremely low subthreshold swing of 1.1 mV/dec and a high ON/OFF current ratio of 2.4×10⁷. Moreover, SiNS FBFETs represented long retention time of 50 seconds, indicating the quasi-nonvolatile memory characteristics.

Effect of the microwave dielectric properties and the microstructure on a mole fraction(x=0.1~0.9) of (1-x)Mg$_2$SiO$_4$-xZnAl$_2$O$_4$ ceramics was investigated. When (1-x)Mg$_2$SiO$_4$-xZnAl$_2$O$_4$(x=0.1~0.9) ceramics were sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$, 135$0^{\circ}C$ and 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hr, the microwave dielectric properties were obtained $\varepsilon$r=6.8~8.3, Q.f$_{0}$=36000~77600. On the other hand, the temperature coefficients of resonant frequency($\tau$$_{f}$) were obtained in the properties of -62ppm/$^{\circ}C$ to -49ppm/$^{\circ}C$. In order to adjust the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency($\tau$$_{f}$), CaTiO$_3$was added in (1-x)Mg$_2$SiO$_4$-xZnAl$_2$O$_4$ceramics. 0.7Mg$_2$SiO$_4$-0.2ZnAl$_2$O$_4$-0.1CaTiO$_3$ceramics sintered at 135$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hr showed the excellent microwave dielectric properties of $\varepsilon$r=7.7, Q.f$_{0}$=32000, and $\tau$$_{f}$=-7.9 ppm/$^{\circ}C$.EX>.>.EX>.

Pd/Si/Pd/Ti/Au ohmic contact to n-type InGaAs was investigated with rapid thermal annealing conditions. Minimum specific contact resistivity of $3.9\times10^{-7}\Omega\textrm{cm}^2$ was achieved at $400^{\circ}C$/20sec. This was related to the formation of Pd-Si compounds by rapid thermal annealing and the in-diffusion of Si atoms to InGaAs surface. However, the specific contact resistivity increased slightly to low-$10^{-6}\Omega \textrm{cm}^2$ at $400^{\circ}C$ for longer than 30 seconds, and to high-$10^{-7}$ at 425~$450^{\circ}C$ for 10 seconds. This resulted from the formation of Pd-Ga compounds. Superior ohmic contact and non-spiking planar interface between ohmic materials and InGaAs were maintained after annealing at high temperature. Therefore, this thermally stable ohmic contact system is a promising candidate for compound semiconductor devices.

An overview of Silicon Carbide (SiC) Static Induction Transistor (SIT) development is presented. Basic conduction mechanisms are introduced and discussed, including ohmic, exponential, and space charge limited conduction (SCLC) mechanisms. Additionally, the impact of velocity saturation and temperature effects on SCLC are reviewed. The small-signal model, breakdown voltage, power density, and different gate structures are also discussed, before a final review of published SiC SIT results. Published S-band (3-4 GHz) results include 9.5 dB of gain and output power of 120 W, and L-band (1.3 GHz) results include 400 W output power, 7.7 dB of gain, and power density of 16.7 W/cm.

VO$_{2}$ 써모크로믹 원도우의 가시광 투과율을 높히기 위하여 내마모성이 우수한 SiO$_{2}$박막을 이용하여 AR(anti-rdflection)코팅을 하였다. 두가지 중요한 공정변수인 기판온도와 증착속도가 AR효과에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그리고 SiO$_{2}$박막의 AR효과는 낮은 기판온도와 높은 증착속도에서 더 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 SiO$_{2}$AR 박막의 굴절율과 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. VO$_{2}$ 써모크로믹 유리 위에 SiO$_{2}$AR-코팅을 했을 때 약 30% 정도의 가시광 투과율의 향상이 있었다. 그리고 AR-코팅을 하지 않은 경우보다 더 뚜렷한 써모크로미즘을 나타냈다. 또한 천이온도는 7$0^{\circ}C$정도로 AR-코팅을 하지 않은 VO$_{2}$써모크로믹 유리의 경우와 같게 나타났다.

Synthesizing behavior and microstructural evolution of $CaZrO_3$and $m-ZrO_2$in a thermal reaction process of $ZrSiO_4$-$xCaCO_3$mixtures, where x is 7 and 19, were investigated to determine the addition amount of CaO in CaO:$ZrO_2$:$SiO_2$ternary composition. CaZrO$_3$-Ca$_2$SiO$_4$precursor prepared by the mixture of $ZrSiO_4$and CaCO$_3$in aqueous suspending media was controlled to the acidic (pH=4.0) condition with HCI solution to enhance the thermal reaction. The addition amount of dispersant into the $ZrSiO_4$-$xCaCO_3$slip increased with increasing mole ratio of $CaCO_3$, which was associated with the viscosity of slip. Decarbonation reaction was activated with an increase of the addition amount of $CaCO_3$, showing different final temperatures in $ZrSiO_4$-$7CaCO_3$and $ZrSiO_4$-$19CaCO_3$mixtures as about 980 and 116$0^{\circ}C$, respectively, for finishing decarbonation reaction. The grain morphology was changed to spherical shape for all samples with an increase of sintering temperature. The grain size and phase composition of the synthesized composites depended on the mixture ratio of Zrsi04 and CacO3 powders, indicating that the main crystals were m-ZrO2 ($\leq$3 $\mu\textrm{m}$) and $CaZrO_3$ ($\leq$ 7 $\mu\textrm{m}$) in $ZrSiO_4$$>-7CaCO_3$and $ZrSiO_4$-$19CaCO_3$mixtures, respectively.

To increase the oxidation-resistance of graphite substrate, we have tried to form SiC film on its surface by Sol-Gel method. TEOS(Tetraethyl orthosilicate) and phenol resin have been used as silicon(Si) and carbon(C) sources, respectively. In order to know the effect of the TEOS Sol concentration on the forming of SiC film, we have taken 5 different $H_2O$/TEOS mol ratios of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. And the coating states of SiC on the graphite substrate have been analyzed with X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope (SEM), and we have obtained about 5${\mu}m$, 12${\mu}m$, 7${\mu}m$, 7${\mu}m$ and 2 ${\mu}m$ as the thickness of SiC coating layers, respectively. For also knowing the oxidation resistance the SiC coated graphites at $1600^{\circ}C$ were heated again at $1000^{\circ}C$ under air atmosphere for 1 hr, and as a result we have received the weight losses of 26.17%, 20.97%, 17.28%, 21.73% and 28.13%, respectively.
