This paper experimentally reports the effect of suspension stability on the thermal conductivity of water-based Au nanofluids. For this purpose, the water-based Au nanofluids are prepared by the one-step method called electro-chemical method with volume fraction of 0.0005%. The thermal conductivity of water-based Au nanofluids is measured from $22^{\circ}C$ to $42^{\circ}C$ using the transient hot wire method. To quantify the suspension stability of Au nanofluids, the suspension stability of nanofluids is evaluated using the in-house developed laser scattering system at a fixed wavelength of 632.8nm with the elapsed time. Based on the experimental results, the both thermal conductivity and suspension stability of water-based Au nanofluids are gradually decreased according to the time. These results experimentally show that the suspension stability of water-based Au nanofluids is the one of the important factor of thermal conductivity.

Chemical-mechanical polishing, the dominant technology for LSI planarization, is trending to play an important function in micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS). However, MEMS CMP process has a couple of different characteristics in comparison to LSI device CMP since the feature size of MEMS is bigger than that of LSI devices. Preliminary CMP tests are performed to understand material removal rate (MRR) with blanket wafer under a couple of polishing pressure and velocity. Based on the blanket CMP data, this paper focuses on the consumable approach to enhance MEMS CMP by the adjustment of slurry and pad. As a mechanical tool, newly developed microstructured (MS) pad is applied to compare with conventional pad (IC 1400-k Nitta-Haas), which is fabricated by micro melding method of polyurethane. To understand the CMP characteristics in real time, in-situ friction force monitoring system was used. Finally, the topography change of poly-si MEMS structures is compared according to the pattern density, size and shape as polishing time goes on.

Optical coherence tomography(OCT) is a noninvasive optical imaging tool for biomedical applications. OCT can provide depth resolved two/three dimensional morphological images on biological samples. In this paper, we integrated an OCT system that was composed of an SLED(Superluminescent Light Emitting Diode, ${\lambda}_0$=1305 nm bandwith= 141 nm), a reference arm adopting a rapid scanning optical delay line(RSOD) to get high speed imaging, and a sample arm that used a micro electro mechanical systems(MEMS) scanning mirror. The sample arm contained a compact probe for imaging dental structures. The performance of the system was evaluated by imaging in-vivo human teeth with dental calculus, and the results indicated distinct appearance of dental calculus from enamel, gum or decayed teeth. The developed probe and system could successfully confirm the presence of dental calculus with a very high spatial resolution($6{\mu}m$).

This paper describes the physical characterizations of polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films heteroepitaxially grown on Si wafers with thermal oxide, In this work, the 3C-SiC film was deposited by LPCVD (low pressure chemical vapor deposition) method using single precursor 1, 3-disilabutane $(DSB:\;H_3Si-CH_2-SiH_2-CH_3)\;at\;850^{\circ}C$. The crystallinity of the 3C-SiC thin film was analyzed by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction) and FT-IR (fourier transform-infrared spectometers), respectively. The surface morphology was also observed by AFM (atomic force microscopy) and voids or dislocations between SiC and $SiO_2$ were measured by SEM (scanning electron microscope). Finally, residual strain was investigated by Raman scattering and a peak of the energy level was less than other type SiC films, From these results, the grown poly 3C-SiC thin film is very good crystalline quality, surface like mirror, and low defect and strain. Therefore, the polycrystalline 3C-SiC is suitable for harsh environment MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) applications.

Chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP), one of the dominant technology for ULSI planarization, is used to flatten the micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) structures. The objective of this paper is to achieve good planarization of the deposited film and to improve deposition efficiency of subsequent layer structures by using surface-micromachining process in MEMS technology. Planarization characteristic of poly-Si film deposited on thin oxide layer with MEMS structures is evaluated with different slurries. Patterns used for this research have shapes of square, density, line, hole, pillar, and micro engine part. Advantages of CMP process for MEMS structures are observed respectively by using the test patterns with structures larger than 1 urn line width. Preliminary tests for material selectivity of poly-Si and oxide are conducted with two types of silica slurries: $ILD1300^{TM}\;and\;Nalco2371^{TM}$. And then, the experiments were conducted based on the pretest. A selectivity and pH adjustment of slurry affected largely step heights of MEMS structures. These results would be anticipated as an important bridge stone to manufacture MEMS CMP slurry.

There have been continuous requirements for developing more reliable energy storage systems that could address unsolved problems in conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and thus be a proper option for large-scale applications like energy storage system (ESS). As a promising solution, aqueous metal-ion batteries (AMIBs) where water is used as a primary electrolyte solvent, have been emerging owing to excellent safety, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendly feature. Particularly, AMIBs adopting mutivalence metal ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Al³⁺) as mobile charge carriers has been paid much attention because of their abundance on globe and high volumetric capacity. In this research trend review, one of the most popular AMIBs, zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), will be discussed. Since it is well-known that ZIBs suffer from various (electro) chemical/physical side reactions, we introduce the challenges and recent advances in the study of ZIBs mainly focusing on widening the electrochemical window of aqueous electrolytes as well as improving electrochemical properties of cathode, and anode materials.

35$^{\circ}C$와 50$^{\circ}C$ 에서 치환(Z)-benzyl계와 치환(Y)-pyridine 그리고 N, N-dimethylaniline의 Menschutkin형 반응을 아세토니트릴에서 전기전도도법으로 측정하였다. 유사 1차 반응속도상수와 친핵체의 농도로부터 2차반응 속도상수를 계산하였다. $4-CH_3-$보다 전자 받게 치환기를 가진 benzyl bromide는 정상 $S_N2$ (직접 치환 2분자)반응속도만 관찰되었으나 3, $4-(CH_3/O)_2$-benzyl bromide와 $4-CH_3O$-benzyl bromide의 경우 밀착 이온쌍 중간체를 거치는 2분자 반응의 속도도 관측되었다.

As a drive for an ETC (Electro-thermal Chemical) launcher, a large pulse power system of a 2.4MJ energy storage was designed, constructed and tested. The overall power system consists of eight capacitive 300kJ energy storage banks. In this paper we describe the design features, setup and operation test result of the 300kJ pulsed power module. Each capacitor bank of the 300kJ module consists of six 22kV 50kJ capacitors. A triggered vacuum switch (TVS-43) was adopted as the main pulse switch. Crowbar diode circuits, variable multi-tap inductors and energy dumping systems are connected to each high power capacitor bank via bus-bars and coaxial cables. A parallel crowbar diode stack is fabricated in coaxial structure with two series 13.5kV, 60kA avalanche diodes. The main design parameters of the 300kJ module are a maximum current of 180kA and a pulse width of 0.5 - 3ms. The electrical performances of each component and current output variations into resistive loads have been investigated.

실리콘 나노와이어는 높은 표면적으로 인해 뛰어난 감지 능력을 가지는 재료 중 하나로 다양한 센서 응용 분야에 사용되고 있다. 이를 제작하는 방법에는 Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) 공정을 이용한 Top-down 방식과 Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) 공정을 이용한 Bottom-up 방식이 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히 Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition(PECVD)와 Au 촉매를 이용한 Bottom-up 방식은 수십 나노미터 이하의 실리콘 나노와이어를 간단한 변수 조절을 통해 성장시킬 수 있다. 또한 Au/Si의 공융점인 363$^{\circ}C$보다 낮은 온도에서 $SiH_4$를 분해시킬 수 있어 열적 효과로 인한 손실을 줄일 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. 하지만 PECVD를 이용한 실리콘 나노와이어 성장은 VLS 공정을 통해 표면으로부터 수직으로 성장하게 되는데 이는 센서 응용을 위한 전극 사이의 수평 연결 어려움을 지니고 있다. 따라서 이를 피하기 위한 표면 성장된 실리콘 나노와이어가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 PECVD VLS 공정을 이용하여 $HAuCl_4$를 촉매로 이용한 표면 성장된 Tree-like 실리콘 나노와이어를 성장시켰다. 공정가스로는 $SiH_4$와 이를 분해시키기 위해 Ar 플라즈마를 사용 하였고 웨이퍼 표면에 HAuCl4를 분사하고 고진공 상태에서 챔버 기판을 370$^{\circ}C$까지 가열한 후 플라즈마 파워(W) 및 공정 압력(mTorr)을 변수로 두어 실험을 진행하였다. 기존의 보고된 연구와 달리 환원된 금 입자 대신 $HAuCl_4$용액을 그대로 사용하였는데 이는 표면 조도(Surface roughness)를 가지는 Au 박막 상태로 존재하게 된다. 이 중 마루(Asperite) 부분에 PECVD로부터 발생된 실리콘 나노 입자가 상대적으로 높은 확률로 흡착하게 되어 실리콘 나노와이어의 표면성장을 유도하게 된다. 성장된 실리콘 나노와이어는 SEM과 EDS를 이용하여 직경, 길이 및 화학적 성분을 측정하였다. 직경은 약 100 nm, 길이는 약 10 ${\mu}m$ 정도로 나타났으며 Tree-like 실리콘 나노와이어가 성장되었다. 향후 전극이 형성된 기판위에 이를 직접 성장시킴으로써 이 물질의 I-V 특성을 파악 할 것이며 이는 센서 응용 분야에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
