We fabricated thermaly evaporated 10 nmNi/(poly)Si films to investigate the energy saving property of silicides formed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at the temperature of $300{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ for 40 seconds. Moreover, we fabricated $10{\sim}50$ nm-thick ITO/Si films with a rf-sputter as reference films. A four-point tester was used to investigate the sheet resistance. A transmission electron microscope (TEM) and an X-ray diffractometer were used for the determination of cross sectional microstructure and phase changes. A UV-VISNIR and FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared rays spectroscopy) were employed for near-IR and middle-IR absorbance. Through TEM analysis, we confirmed $20{\sim}70nm-thick$ silicide layers formed on the single and polycrystalline silicon substrates. Nickel silicides and ITO films on the single silicon substrates showed almost similar absorbance in near-IR region, while nickel silicides on polycrystalline silicon substrate showed superior absorbance above 850 nm near-IR region to ITO films. Nickel silicide on polycrystalline substrate also showed better absorbance in middle IR region than ITO. Our result implies that nano-thick nickel silicides may have exellent absorbing capacity in near-IR and middle-IR region.

In this paper, the dependence of silicide properties such as sheet resistance and cross-sectional profile on the dopants for source/drain and gate has been characterized. There was little difference of sheet resistance among the dopants such as As, P, BF$_2$ and B$_{11}$ just a(ter formation of NiSi using RTP (Rapid Thermal Process). However, the silicide properties showed strong dependence on the dopants when thermal treatment was applied after silicidation. BF$_2$ implanted silicon showed the most stable property, while As implanted one showed the worst. The main reason of the excellent property of BF$_2$ sample is believed to be tile retardation of hi diffusion by the flourine. Therefore, retardation of Ni diffusion is highly desirable for high performance Ni-silicide technology.y.

We fabricated thermally evaporated 10 nm-Ni/1 nm-Ir/(poly)Si films to investigate the energy saving property of silicides formed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at the temperature range of $300{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ for 40 seconds. Moreover, we fabricated 100 nm-thick ITO/(poly)Si films with an rf-sputter as references. A transmission electron microscope (TEM) and an X-ray diffractometer were used to determine cross-sectional microstructure and phase changes. A UV-VIS-NIR and FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) were employed for near-IR and middle-IR absorbance. Through TEM analysis, we confirmed 20~65 nm-thick silicide layers formed on the single and polycrystalline silicon substrates. Ir-inserted nickel silicide on single crystalline substrate showed almost the same absorbance in near IR region as well as ITO, but Ir-inserted nickel silicide on polycrystalline substrate, which had the uniform absorbance in specific region, showed better absorbance in near IR region than ITO. The Ir-inserted nickel silicide on polycrystalline substrate particularly showed better absorbance in middle IR region than ITO. The results imply that nano-thick Ir-inserted nickel silicides may have excellent absorbing capacity in near-IR and middle-IR region.

This paper addresses a method for structural optimum design of composite rotor blade. The basic model of a composite helicopter main rotor blade is designed and its parameters determining the structural/dynamic properties are studied. Through the investigation of flap/lag/torsional stiffness, the structural properties of the model are analyzed. In this study, helicopter rotor blades are analyzed by using VABS. The computer program VABS (Variational Asymptotic Beam Section Analysis) uses the variational asymptotic method to split a three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity problem into a two dimensional cross-sectional analysis and a one-dimensional nonlinear beam problem. This is accomplished by taking advantage of certain small parameters inherent to beam-like structures. In addition, the rotational stability of the blade is estimated by the frequency diagram from FE analysis(MSC.Patran/Nastran) to understand its vibrational property. From the result, design parameters to determine and optimize the properties of the model are presented.

Furthermore the rothor pole, with a solid type, manufactured by cold forging process at present should dmploy 3 press lines which consist of total 7 processes. Since A.S.B. treatment is prerequisite for the press line, the 3 times of A.S.B. treatment requires a long lead time, with little contribution to the reduction in cost. The author has investigated, through this researach, the possibility of a new forging method for a rotor pole production with (1) 2 pass instead of 3 press lines (2) only one A.S.B. treatment instead of 3 ones (3) solid type instead of sectional type, and (4) improvment of material property during process using a modified forging process and a specially designed die.

The Mo/si multilayer for EUV lithography was deposited using magnetron sputtering system. The multilayers were characterized using the cross-sectional transmission electron microscope (TEM) and low/high angle X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microstructure of Mo and Si was highly textured structure and amorphous, respectively. The well-defined low angle XRD peaks implies a well-defined multilayer structure. The interfacial layer of Mo-on-Si was thicker than Si-on-Mo interfacial layer.

Aluminum nitride(AIN) thin films were deposited on SiO$_2$/Si substrates by reactive sputtering for the application of SAW devices. The major deposition parameters such as pressure, nitrogen fraction, rf power, substrate distance were changed to find out the optimal condition for c-axis oriented thin films on an amorphous substrate. The effects of deposition parameters on the crystal structure, residual stress, and growth morphology of thin films were characterized by XRD, SEM, and TEM. The FWHM of (002) rocking curve of the films deposited at the proper condition was lower than 2.2$^{\circ}$(C=0.93$^{\circ}$). Cross-sectional TEM showed that self-aligned structure was developed just after slightly random growth at the initial stage. The frequency characteristics of test device fabricated from AIN thin films confirmed their piezoelectric property and applicability for SAW devices.

In the manufacturing of large scale composite structures, the cost-effective processing and the enhancement of structural performance are critical. One of the most effective ways for this purpose is to use stitched multiaxial warp knitted (MWK) perform in the resin transfer molding process. This study reports the effect of stitching on the mechanical properties of MWK composites, and the feasibility processing of the thick U-beam structure utilizing the stitched preforms. Permeability of the preform, viscosity and cure property of the epoxy resin have been measured. The results of resin flow analysis has been used in determining the gate/vent locations of the RTM mold. Cross-sectional observation of the channel beam prototype demonstrated that the resin impregnation was almost complete, except for some surrounding area of stitched yarns.

Carbon nanotube is a geometrical frame-like structure and the primary bonds between two nearest-neighboring atoms act like beam members, whereas an individual atom acts as the joint of the related beam members. The sectional property parameters of these beam members are obtained from molecular mechanics. Computations of the elastic deformation of single-walled carbon nanotubes reveal that the Young's moduli of carbon nanotubes vary with the tube diameter and are affected by their helicity. With increasing tube diameter, the Young's moduli of carbon nanotubes approach the Young's modulus of graphite.
