Mullite ($3Al_2O_3{\cdot}2SiO_2$) has emerged as a promising candidate for high-temperature structural materials due to its erosion resistance, chemical and thermal stabilities, relatively low thermal expansion coefficient, excellent thermal shock and creep resistances, and low dielectric constant. However, since the pure mullite sintering temperature is as high as $1,600{\sim}1,700^{\circ}C$, there is an increasing need for a sintering additive capable of improving the strength characteristics while lowering the sintering temperature. Herein we have tried to obtain the optimal sintering additive composition by adding MgO, $Cr_2O_3$, and $Y_2O_3$ to mullite, followed by sintering at $1,325{\sim}1,550^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. With additives of 2 wt% of MgO, 2 wt% of $Cr_2O_3$, 4 wt% of $Y_2O_3$, A density of $3.23g/cm^3$ was obtained for the sintered body at $1,350^{\circ}C$ upon using 2 wt% MgO, 2 wt% $Cr_2O_3$, and 4 wt% $Y_2O_3$ as additives. The three-point flexural strength of that was 275 MPa and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) was $4.15ppm/^{\circ}C$.

In this study, recovery of plasma etching· damage in PZT thin film with additive gas and re-annealing after etching have been investigated. The PZT thin films were etched as a function of $Cl_2/CF_4$ with addition of Ar and $O_2$ with inductively induced plasma. The etch rates of PZT thin films were 1450 $\AA$/min at 30% additive Ar into $(Cl_2(80%)+CF_4 (20%))$ and 1100 $\AA$/min at 10% additive $O_2$ into $C(Cl_2(80%)+CF_4(20%))$. In order to recovery properties of PZT thin films after etching, the etched PZT thin films were re-annealed at various temperatures in at $O_2$ atmosphere. From the hysteresis curves, ferroelectrical properties are improved by $O_2$ re-annealing process. The improvement of ferroelectric behavior at annealed sample is consistent with the increase of the (100) and (200) PZT peaks revealed by x-ray diffraction (XRD). From x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, intensity of Pb-O, Zr-O and Ti-O peak are increased and the chemical residue peak is reduced by $O_2$ re-annealing. The ferroelectric behavior consistent with the dielectric nature of $Ti_xO_y$ is recovered by $O_2$ recombination during rapid thermal annealing process.

It is impossible to database(DB) the patterns of power cable events and cause analysis of faulted cable because the product liability(PL) law have been enforced in Korea, since 2002. In additions, simulation and pattern of power cable events are needed for DB system under accelerated deterioration. In this paper, we tested for resistance to cracking of cable below the 22.9[kV] class due to thermal stresses. This method of exam is following IEC 60811-3-1(Common test methods for insulating and sheathing materials of electric cables). From the results, The 22.9[kV] class A power cable was discolored on the surface and significantly reduced in the longitudinal direction. As the thermal weight properties of A power cable was definitely varied, we are able to guess the problem of manufacture. If the cable was defect by the manufacture, the victims would be able to claim for damage in the PL system.

In this study. the recovery of plasma induced damage in the etched PZT thin film with $O_2$ re-annealing have been investigated. The PZT thin films were etched as a function of $Cl_2/Ar$ and additive $CF_4$ into $Cl_{2}(80%)/Ar(20)%$. The etch rates of PZT thin films were $1600\dot{A}/min$ at $Cl_{2}(80%)/Ar(20)%$ gas mixing ratio and $1970\dot{A}/min$ at 30 % additive $CF_4$ into $Cl_{2}(80%)/Ar(20)%$. The etched profile of PZT films was obtained above 70 by SEM. In order to recovery properties of PZT thin films after etching, the etched PZT thin films were re-annealed at various temperatures in $O_2$ atmosphere. From the hysteresis curves, ferroelectrical properties are improved by $O_2$ re-annealing process. The improvement of ferroelectric behavior at annealed sample is consistent with the increase of the (100) and (200) PZT phase revealed by x-ray diffraction (XRD). From XPS analysis, intensity of Pb-O, Zr-O and Ti-O peak are increased and the chemical residue peak is reduced by $O_2$ re-annealing. The ferroelectric behavior consistent with the dielectric nature of TixOy is recovered by $O_2$ recombination during rapid thermal annealing process. From AFM images, it shows that the surface roughness of re-annealed sample after etching is improved.

The objective of this work is to design Surface Antenna Structure (SAS) and investigate fatigue behavior of SAS that is asymmetric sandwich structure. This term, SAS, indicates that structural surface becomes antenna. Constituent materials are selected considering electrical properties, dielectric constant and tangent loss as well as mechanical properties. For the antenna performance, SSSFIP elements inserted into structural layers were designed fur satellite communication at a resonant frequency of 12.5 GHz and final demonstration article was $16{\;}{\tiems}{\;}8$ array antenna. From electrical measurements, it was shown that antenna performances were in good agreement with design requirements. In cyclic 4-point bending, flexure behavior was investigated by static and fatigue test. Fatigue life curve of SAS was obtained. The fatigue load was determined experimentally at a 0.75 (1.875kN) load level, Experimental results were compared with single load level fatigue life prediction equations (SFLPE) and in good agreement with SFLPE. SAS concept is the first serious attempt at integration fur both antenna and composite engineers and promises innovative future communication technology.

We investigated the electrical properties of copolymer low-k materials that are compromised of the PMSSQ(Poly Methyl Silsesquioxane)-based matrix with the BTMSE (Bis Tri Methoxy Silyl Ethane) additives. We manufactured MIS-type test samples using the copolymer as the insulator and measured their leakage current and failure time by means of the BTS (bias-temperature-stress) test. The failure time was observed to decrease drastically when the porosity of the copolymer was increased over $30\%$. From the measurement of failure time with respect to temperature. the activation energy of Cu drift through the copolymer was calculated to be 1.51 eV.

The electrical properties for $(Ba,Sr)_{1-x}Y_xTiO_3$(x=0.001∼0.009, BSYT) with a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity(PTCR) effect were investigated. The BSYT powder was prepared by oxalate coprecipitation method. It was found that the large PTCR effect was appeared up to 0.3 mol% and decreased above 0.5 mol% of the yttrium concentration. The plot of temperature vs. $1{\varepsilon}$m(T) above Curie temperature($T_c$) was agreed with Curie-Weiss law. The potential barrier calculated from measured resistivity and dielectric constant of specimens was high up to 0.3 mol% and reduced above 0.5 mol% of yttrium concentration as the curve of PTCR effect.

The fabricated La-modified lead titanate (PLT) thin flim without paling treatment was investigated for modulation frequency dependence of pyroelectric properties by the dynamic method. $Pb_{1-x}La_{x}Ti_{1-x/4}O_{3}$ PLT (x=0.1) thin film having 10 mol% La content was deposited on a $Pt/TiO_{x}/SiO_{2}/Si$ substrate by sol-gel method. The PLT(10) thin film exhibits a relatively excellent dielectric property. The pyroelectric coefficient (p) of the PLT(10) thin film is $6.6{\times}10^{-9}C/cm_{2}\cdot K$ without frequency dependence. The figure of merits for the voltage responsivity and specific detectivity are $1.03{\times}10^{-11}C\cdot cm/J$ and $1.46\times 10^{-9}C\cdot cm/J$, respectively. The PLT(10) thin film has voltage responsivity (Rv) of 5.15 V/W at 8 Hz. Noise equivalent power (NEP) and specific detectivity (D*) of the PLT(10) thin film are$9.93{\times}10^{-8}W/Hz^{1/2}$ and $1.81\times 10^{6}cmHz^{1/2}/W$ at the same frequency of 100 Hz, respectively. The results means that PLT thin film having 10 mol % La content is suitable for the sensing materials of pyroelectric IR sensors.
