Hot stage microscopy (HSM) is a thermal analysis technique that combines the best properties of thermal analysis and microscopy. HSM is rapidly gaining interest in pharmaceuticals as well as in other fields as a regular characterization technique. In pharmaceuticals HSM is used to support differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) observations and to detect small changes in the sample that may be missed by DSC and TGA during a thermal experiment. Study of various physical and chemical properties such sample morphology, crystalline nature, polymorphism, desolvation, miscibility, melting, solid state transitions and incompatibility between various pharmaceutical compounds can be carried out using HSM. HSM is also widely used to screen cocrystals, excipients and polymers for solid dispersions. With the advancements in research methodologies, it is now possible to use HSM in conjunction with other characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), DSC, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which may have additional benefits over traditional characterization techniques for rapid and comprehensive solid state characterization.

Thermal characterization of individual pixels in microbolometer infrared image sensors is needed for optimal design and improved performance. In this work, we used thermoreflectance microscopy on uncooled microbolometer image sensors to investigate the thermal characteristics of individual pixels. Two types of microbolometer image sensors with a shared-anchor structure were fabricated and thermally characterized at various biases and vacuum levels by measuring the temperature distribution on the surface of the microbolometers. The results show that thermoreflectance microscopy can be a useful thermal characterization tool for microbolometer image sensors.

본 연구에서는 나노스케일의 공간 해상도를 가지는 주사탐침열파현미경(scanning thermal wave microscopy, STWM)을 이용하여 1 차원 나노구조체의 열전도도를 정량적으로 계측하는 방법을 제시한다. 먼저, 1 차원 나노구조체의 열확산도를 계측하기 위한 STWM 의 원리를 설명한 후, 정량적인 열확산도 계측을 위한 이론적 해석 과정을 설명한다. STWM 을 이용한 본 계측기법은 열파가 이동한 거리에 따른 상대적인 위상지연만을 가지고 열확산도를 계측하여 열전도도를 구하기 때문에 탐침과 나노구조체 사이의 열접촉저항 및 나노구조체와 열원간의 열접촉저항의 영향을 받지 않으며, 나노구조체에 인가되는 정확한 열유속을 구할 필요가 없다. 따라서 기존의 측정 기법들에 비해 계측이 매우 단순하면서도 정량적인 계측이 가능하다.

그래핀(Graphene)은 전기 전도성 및 열전도성이 우수하고 1 nm 수준의 초 박막 형 필름 소재를 제조할 수 있다는 장점으로 인하여, 차세대 트랜지스터 소자 및 디스플레이 장치에 적용 가능한 방열 소재로서 많은 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 또한 CVD(chemical vapor deposition)제조법으로 합성된 그래파이트(Graphite)는 구조의 단순성 및 유연성 때문에 안정하고 열에 강한 탄소계 방열소재로 주목 받고 있다. 본 연구는 열전도도가 우수한 폼(foam)형태의 구리를 촉매로 상압과 진공에서의 CVD법을 이용하여 그래핀을 성장시킨 후 구리 폼의 기공 안에 다양한 종류의 그래파이트(Natural graphite, expandable(/expanded) graphite, etc)를 복합 및 안정화시켜 기존보다 높은 열전도도를 가지는 방열소재를 개발하였다. 제조된 금속폼/그래파이트 소재를 OM(optical microscopy)과 SEM(scanning electron microscopy)을 이용하여 표면을 확인하였고 DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimetry), 아르키메데스 법을 활용한 비열, 밀도 결과를 확보하였다. 또한 LFA(Laser Flash Analysis)를 이용하여 열 확산계수 예측을 통한 열전도 특성을 평가하였다.

In performing in situ heating transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for materials characterizations, arising concerns such as specimen drifts and unintentional Cu contamination are discussed. In particular, we analysed the thermal and mechanical characteristics of in situ heating holders to estimate thermal drift phenomena. From the experimental results, we suggest an empirical model to describe the thermal drift behavior so that we can design an effective plan for in situ heating experiment. Practical approaches to minimize several hindrances arisen from the experiment are proposed. We believe that our experimental recommendations will be useful for a microscopist fascinated with the powerful potential of in situ heating TEM.

최근 거대 데이터 기반의 미래 기술이 발전함에 따라 전자 소자의 고성능 및 고집적화 추세가 지속되고 있는데, 이는 심각한 발열 문제를 수반하여 소자의 신뢰성을 위협하는 주요 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 효과적인 열관리 대책을 수립하기 위해서는 소자의 구동 환경에서 온도 분포를 정확히 평가하고 방열 경로를 설계하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 소자의 온도 분포를 비접촉 방식의 높은 공간 및 시간 분해능으로 관찰할 수 있는 열반사 현미경 기술을 소개한다. 구체적으로 열반사 현미경의 원리 및 구동 형태를 알아보고, 온도, 공간, 시간 분해능 향상을 위한 최신 연구 동향과 다양한 전자 소자의 온도 및 열적 특성 분석에 적용된 사례를 함께 살펴본다.

ZnTe films have been grown on (100) GaAs substrate with two representative problems. The one is lattice mismatch, the other is thermal expansion coefficients mismatch of ZnTe /GaAs. It claims here, the relationship of film thickness and defects distribution with (100) ZnTe/GaAs using hot wall epitaxy (HWE) growth was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It analyzed on the two-sort side using TEM with cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). Investigation into the nature and behavior of dislocations with dependence-thickness in (100) ZnTe/ (100) GaAs hetero-structures grown by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This defects range from interface to 0.7 $\mu\textrm{m}$ was high density, due to the large lattice mismatch and thermal expansion coefficients. The defects of low density was range 0.7$\mu\textrm{m}$~1.8$\mu\textrm{m}$. In the thicker range than 1.8$\mu\textrm{m}$ was measured hardly defects.

In this study, in order to improve the thermal and electrical properties of epoxy/graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), surface modifications of GNPs are conducted using silane coupling agents. Three silane coupling agents, i.e. 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)-ethyltrimethoxysilane (ETMOS), 3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane (GPTS), and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS), were used. Among theses, GPTMS exhibits the best modification performance for fabricating GNP-incorporated epoxy composites. The effect of the silanization is evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The electrical and thermal conductivities are characterized. The epoxy/silanized GNPs exhibits higher thermal and electrical properties than the epoxy/raw GNPs due to the improved dispersion state of the GNPs in the epoxy matrix. The TEM microphotographs and Turbiscan data demonstrate that the silane molecules grafted onto the GNP surface improve the GNP dispersion in the epoxy.
