Photovoltaics is considered as one of the most promising new energy technology, because its energy source is omni present, pollution-free and inexhaustive. It is agreed that these solar cells must be thin film type because thin film process is cost-efficive in the fact that it uses much less raw materials and can be continuous. The defect chalcopyrite material $CuIn_3Se_5$ has been identified as playing an essential role in efficient photovoltaic action in $CuInSe_2$-based devicesm It has been reported to be of n-type conductivity, forming a p-n junction with its p-type counterpart CuInSe2. Because the most efficient cells consist of the $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ quarternary, knowledge of some physical properties of the Ga-containing defect chalcopyrite $Cu(In,Ga)_3Se_5$ may help us better understand the junction phenomena in such devices.

본 논문에서는 유동층 화학기상증착법(FB CVB; Fluidized Bed Chemical Vapor Deposition)으로 광촉매가 박막증착된 비드를 제조하였고 제조된 광촉매코팅비드의 광반응성을 연속식 반응기에서 아세트알데히드의 분해능력을 측정하여 분석하였다. 광촉매가 박막증착된 비드의 FE-SEM 분석 결과 글라스 비드 위의 티타니아는 비교적 매끄럽게 증착되었고, 실리카 위의 티타니아는 입자의 형태로 증착되었으며 알루미나 위의 티타니아는 결정상을 이루며 증착됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. Acetaldehyde 기체의 광촉매에 의한 분해 실험을 진행하기 위해 연속식 반응기를 설계 제작하였고, 이 반응기를 사용하여 제조된 광촉매 코팅입자의 광반응성을 살펴보았다. 반응기는 가스 주입구와 출구를 갖고 있으며, 중심부에 UV 램프가 설치되었다. 반응기는 내열유리(pyrex)로 제작하였으며, 체적은 100 ml이다. 반응기 내부의 중심부에 UV 램프가 설치되고 UV 램프와 반응기 외부사이에 유동층 화학기상증착법에 의해 티타니아가 박막증착된 광촉매입자가 위치하여 광반응성을 평가하였다. 유량변화에 따른 광반응성을 측정하였으며, 알루미나에 광촉매를 증착시킨 제품의 경우 가스유량 100cc/min에서는 acetaldehyde가 $100\%$ 분해되고, 가스유량 500cc/min에서는 $50\%$정도 분해되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A pattern master and a Ni stamper for 50nm class of patterns are fabricated through e-beam lithography and Ni electroforming process. A model pattern set is designed, which is based on unit patterns of 50nm, 100nm, 150nm and 200nm in length and 50nm in width. The e-beam process is optimized to fabricate designed patterns with some parameters including dose, accelerating voltage, focal distance and developing time. For Ni electroforming to fabricate Ni stamper, a seed layer, a conducting layer, is deposited first on the pattern master fabricated by an e-beam lithography process. Ni, Ti/Ni and Cr are first tested to find optimal seed layer process. Currently the best result is obtained when adopting Cr deposited to be 100nm thick with continuous tilting motion of the master substrate during the deposition process.

We fabricated distributed feedback InGaAsP/InP laser diodes for optical fiber communication module and characterized the lasing properties in continuous wave operation. The active layer of 7-period InGaAsP(1.127 eV)/InGaAsP(0.954 eV) multi-quantum well structure was grown by the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The grating for waveguide was also fabricated by the implementation of the Mach-Zehender holographic method of two laser beams interference of He- Cd laser and the fabricated laser diode has the dimension of the laser length of $400{\mu}m$ and the ridge width of $1.2{\mu}m$. The laser diode shows the threshold current of 3.59 mA, the threshold voltage of 1.059 V. For the room-temperature operation with the current of 13.54 mA and the voltage of 1.12 V, the peak wavelength is about 1309.70 nm and optical power is 13.254 mW.

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are classified into two groups according to the consolidation mechanisms and densification degrees of the as-built parts. Densified parts are obtained via a single-step process such as powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, and sheet lamination AM technologies. Conversely, green bodies are consolidated with the aid of binder phases in multi-step processes such as binder jetting and material extrusion AM. Green-body part shapes are sustained by binder phases, which are removed for the debinding process. Chemical and/or thermal debinding processes are usually devised to enhance debinding kinetics. The pathways to final densification of the green parts are sintering and/or molten metal infiltration. With respect to innovation types, the multi-step metal AM process allows conventional powder metallurgy manufacturing to be innovated continuously. Eliminating cost/time-consuming molds, enlarged 3D design freedom, and wide material selectivity create opportunities for the industrial adoption of multi-step AM technologies. In addition, knowledge of powders and powder metallurgy fuel advances of multi-step AM technologies. In the present study, multi-step AM technologies are briefly introduced from the viewpoint of the entire manufacturing lifecycle.

This study employed the modified fouling index (MFI) to determine the performance of a two-step recycling system - a membrane filtration integrated laminar flow water storage (LFWS) tank followed by an ion exchange process to reclaim ultrapure water (UPW) from the wastewater generated from semiconductor wafer backgrinding and sawing processes. The first step consisted of the utilization of either ultrafiltration (UF) or nanofiltration (NF) membranes to remove solids in the wastewater where the second step consisted of an ion exchanger to further purify the filtrate. The system was able to produce high purity water in a continuous operating mode. However, higher recycling cost could be incurred due to membrane fouling. The feed wastewater used for this study contained high concentration of fine particles with low organic and ionic contents, hence membrane fouling was mainly attributed to particulate deposition and cake formation. Based on the MFI results, a LFWS tank that was equipped with a turbulence reducer with a pair of auto-valves was developed and found effective in minimizing fouling by discharging concentrated wastewater prior to any membrane filtration. By comparing flux behaviors of the improved system with the conventional system, the former maintained a high flux than the latter at the end of the experiment.

Continuous SiC fiber-reinforced SiC-matrix composites ($SiC_f$/SiC) had been fabricated by electrophoretic infiltration combined with ultrasonication. Nano-sized ${\beta}$-SiC added with 12 wt% of $Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3$ additive and Tyranno$^{TM}$-SA3 fabric were used as a matrix phase and fiber reinforcement, respectively. After hot pressing at 5 different conditions, the density, microstructure and mechanical properties of $SiC_f$/SiC were characterized. Hot pressing at relatively severe conditions, such as $1750^{\circ}C$ for 1 and 2 h, resulted in a brittle fracture behavior due to the strong fiber-matrix interface in spite of their high flexural strength. On the other hand, toughened $SiC_f$/SiC composite could be achieved by hot pressing at milder condition because of the formation of weak interface in spite of the decreased flexural strength. These results proposed the importance of weak fiber-matrix interface in the fabrication of ductile $SiC_f$/SiC composite.

In this research, a thin layer of Cr was coated on the pure Ni and Inconel 601 by PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) in order to study the effect of Cr on the oxidation behavior at high temperature. Cr coated Inconel 601, which was oxidized at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, formed a protective $Cr_2O_3$ oxide layer and the resistance to isothermai oxidation was improved. On the other hand, oxidation resistance of Cr coated Inconel 601 at 100$0^{\circ}C$ was not significantly improved, probably due to the formation or insufficient $Cr_2O_3$ layer. But, when oxidized at $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours, Cr coated Inconel 601 improved isothermal oxidation resistance by the formation of continuous $Cr_2O_3$ external scale and by the development of $Al_2O_3$ subscales. Cr coated Ni formed inner layer of $Cr_2O_3$ within almost pure NiO, which provided additional cation vacancies, thus increasing the mobility of Ni ions in this region. It is believed that this doping effect resulted in an increase in the observed oxidation rate compared with pure Ni and did not improve the oxidation resistance.

A method for the determination of cobalt(Ⅱ) by differential pulse voltammetry using a carbon paste electrode constructed by incorporating 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol(PAN) into a conventional carbon paste mixture composed of graphite powder and Nujol oil has been developed. Several influencing factors for the determination of cobalt(Ⅱ) were studied in detail and the optimum analytical conditions were found to be as follows: pH, 4.6; composition of electrode, 20%; temperature of deposition, 43 ℃; time of preconcentration, 15 min. Regeneration of the electrode surface for the continuous uses of the electrode was achieved by exposing the carbon paste electrode to an acidic solution. Response of the electrode was reproducible for the uses of five times and the relative standard deviations were 6.7 and 4.6% for 2.0×10-5 M and 4.0×10-6 M cobalt(Ⅱ), respectively. The calibration curve for cobalt(Ⅱ) obtained by differential pulse voltammetry was divided into two linear ranges of 1.7× 10-6-1.3×10-4 M and 2.0×10-7-8.0×10-7 M. The detection limit was estimated to be 1.3×10-7 M. The effects of coexisting ions were also investigated to test the applicability of the proposed method to the determination of cobalt(Ⅱ) in real samples.

Light sources induced by gas discharge using rare gases have been widely used in the thin film deposition, the surface modification and the polymer etching. A dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) has been developed in order to consistently emit light and control the wavelength of the emission light. However, much research on the characteristics of the movement of discharge particles is required to improve the efficiency of the light lamp and the life-time of the light apparatus in detail. In this paper, we developed a He DBD discharge simulation tool and investigated the characteristics of discharge particles which were electrons, two positive ions ($He^+$, $He_2^+$) and 5 excited particles ($He^*(1S)$, $He^*(3S)$, $He^*$, $He^{**}$, $He^{***}$). The discharge currents showed the transition from pulse mode to continuous mode with the increase of power. With the accumulated charges on the barrier walls, the discharge current was rapidly increased and caused oscillation of the discharge voltage. As the gas pressure increased, $He_2^+$ and $He^*(3S)$ became the dominant activated particles. The input power was mostly consumed by electrons and $He_2^+$ ion. And the change curve showed that power consumption by electrons increased more with gas pressure than with source voltage or frequency.
