Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites consist of carbon fibers in a polymer matrix. Recently, CFRP composites having high thermal stability and low outgassing are finding their use in high performance materials for aerospace and electronics applications under high temperature and high vacuum conditions. Cyanate ester resin is one of the most suitable matrix resins for this purpose. In this study, proper combination of cyanate ester and catalyst, curing behavior, and cure cycle were determined by chemorheology. Optimum condition was found to be catalyst content of 100 ppm and curing temperature of $150^{\circ}C$. Thermal stability and outgassing of cured resin composition were analyzed and the results showed thermal decomposition temperature of $385^{\circ}C$ and total mass loss of 0.29%. The CFRP prepregs and subsequent composites were fabricated by predetermined resin composition and the cure condition. Tensile moduli of the composites were compared with theoretical models and the results were very consistent.

최근 전자 소자의 집적기술은 기존의 2차원에서 System on package (SOP) 개념에 기반을 둔 3차원 집적 기술로 발전 되어가고 있다. 소자의 3차원 실장을 실현시키는 과정에서 세라믹의 여러 유용성이 언급되어져 왔지만, 취성이 매우 크다는 등의 단점이 있었다. 이러한 이유로 연성을 가지는 폴리머와 세라믹을 합성한 복합체 기판에 대하여 많은 연구가 되고 있다. 그러나 세라믹 제작을 위해서는 높은 공정온도가 요구되고 있고 이러한 높은 공정상에서의 온도는 3차원 실장에 있어서 문제점이 되고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 상온에서 치밀한 세라믹 후막을 제작할 수 있는 공정인 Aerosol Deposition Method (ADM)방법으로 세라믹-폴리머 후막의 제조를 시도하였다. 일반적으로 ADM은 수백 나노의 출발 파우더를 사용하여 치밀한 세라믹 막을 형성하는데 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 ADM으로 100 nm미만의 나노 세라믹 파우더를 사용하여 다공성의 세라믹 후막을 제조한 후 resin을 함침시키는 방법으로 세라믹-폴리머 후막의 제조를 시도하였다. 그 결과 운송가스, aerosol 농도 등의 공정조건을 변화시켜 다공성의 $Al_2O_3$ 후막을 제조하였고, 이 다공성 후막은 반투명의 특성을 보이며 고충전율로 형성되었다. 이렇게 제조된 나노 다공성 $Al_2O_3$ 후막에 cyanate ester resin을 함침시키는 방법을 사용하여 $Al_2O_3$-cyanate ester 복합체 후막을 제조하였으며, 이의 비유전율 및 품질계수는 각각 1 MHz에서 6.7, 1000으로 우수한 유전특성을 보임이 확인되었다.

We have successfully fabricated the alumina thick films using inkjet printing processes without a high temperature sintering process. Alumina suspension as dielectric ink was formulated by combining nano-sized alumina powders with an anionic polymer dispersant in formamide/water as co-solvent. The thickness of the printed alumina thick film was measured at around 5 um by field emission scanning electron microscope. The calculated packing density of 68.5 % from the printed alumina thick film was much higher than the same films fabricated by conventional casting or dip coating processes. Q factor of the dielectrics thick film infiltrated with cyanate ester resin was evaluated by impedance analyzer.

$BaTiO_3$ has high permittivity so that has been applied to dielectric and insulator materials in 3D system-level package integration. In order to achieve excellent performance of device, the $BaTiO_3$ layer should be highly dense. In this study, $BaTiO_3$ thick films were prepared by the inkjet printing method using 4 vol.% $BaTiO_3$ colloidal inks and cured at $28^{\circ}C$ for 5 h after infiltration of polymer resin for non-sintered process using 3 vol.% cyanate ester emulsion ink. From the obtained results. packing density was determined to be improved by overlapping rabbit ears which were generated by coffee ring effect. We also calculated the packing densities of the films and correlated these packing densities to the measured permittivity of the films.

We have successfully demonstrated the inkjet printing method to create $Al_2O_3$ films withouWe have successfully demonstrated the inkjet printing method to create $Al_2O_3$ films without a high temperature sintering process. In order to remove the coffee ring effect in the ink drop, we have introduced a co-solvent system in order to create Marangoni flow in the ink drop, which leads to the dense packing of ceramic powders on the substrate during inkjet process. The packing density of the Inkjet-printed $Al_2O_3$ films is around 60% (max. 70%) which is very high compared to the value obtained from the same material films by other conventional methods such as film casting, dip coating process, etc. The voids inside the films (which are around 40% of the entire film volume) are filled with the polymer resin (Cyanate ester) by the infiltration process. This resin infiltration is also implemented by the inkjet printing process right after the Ah03 film ink-jetting process. The microstructures of the printed $Al_2O_3$ films are investigated by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to understand the degree of packing density in the printed films. The inkjet-printed $Al_2O_3$ films have been characterized to investigate its thickness and roughness. Quality factor of the printed $Al_2O_3$ film is also measured to be over 300 at 1MHz.
