In this study, BNT($BaO-Nd_{2}O_3-TiO_2$) and $70P_{2}O_5-5B_{2}O_3-(25-x)BaO-xNa_{2}O$ glass-ceramic composites were fabricated and investigated in order to apply for low temperature cofired ceramic. The prepared BNT based glass-ceramic composites were sintered at $800{\sim}950^{\circ}C$ with the glass fit contents ranging from 10 to $15\;wt\%$. The properties such as sintering and dielectric property were investigated in the ceramic compositions according to the phosphate glass frit. The dielectric constant was varied between 10 to 40 and shrinkage rate was increased according to increasing glass frit.

This study is aimed at improving the plasma resistance of Al₂O₃ ceramics on which plasma resistant YAS(Y₂O₃-Al₂O₃-SiO₂) frit is melt-coated using a simple heat-treatment process. For this purpose, the results of phase analysis and microstructural observations of the prepared YAS frits and the coating layers on the Al₂O₃ ceramics according to the batch compositions are compared and discussed with regard to the results of plasma resistance test. The prepared YAS frits consist of crystalline or amorphous or co-existing crystalline and amorphous phases according to the batch compositions, depending on the role and content of each raw material. The prepared YAS frit is melt-coated on the densely sintered Al₂O₃ ceramics, resulting in a dense coating layer with a thickness of at least ~ 80 ㎛. The YAS coating layer consists of crystalline YAG(Y₃Al₅O₁₂), Y₂Si₂O₇, and Al₂O₃ phases, and YAS glass phase. Plasma resistance of YAS coated Al₂O₃ ceramics is strongly dependent on the content of the YAG(Y₃Al₅O₁₂) and Y₂Si₂O₇ crystalline phases in the coating layer, especially on the content of the YAG phase. Comparing the weight loss of YAS coating ceramics with values obtained for commercial Y₂O₃, Al₂O₃, and quartz ceramics, the plasma resistance of the YAS coating ceramics is 6 times higher than that of quartz, 2 times higher than that of Al₂O₃, and 50 % of the resistance of Y₂O₃.

Ag thick-film has usually been used for the front electrode of Si solar cells with the outstanding electrical properties. Ag paste consists of Ag powers, vehicles, frits and additives. Ag paste has broadly been screen-printed on the front side of Si wafer with the merits of low cost and simplicity. The optimal contact formation between Ag electrodes and Si wafer in the front electrode during a fast firing has been considered as the key factor for high efficiency. Although the content of frit in Ag pastes is less than 5wt%, it can profoundly influence the contact formation between Ag and Si under the fast firing. In this study, the effects of lead-free frits on the contacts between Ag and Si were studied with the thermal properties and compositions of various frits. Our experimental results showed that the electrical properties of cells were related to the interface structures between Ag and Si. It was found that current path of electrons from Si to Ag would be possible through the tunneling mechanism assisted by tens of nano-Ag recrystals on $n^+$ emitter as well as Ag recrystals penetrated into $n^+$ emitter layers. These preliminary studies will be helpful for designing the proper frits for the Ag pastes with considering the properties of various Si wafers.

Vitrification technology has been widely applied as one of effective processing methods for wastes generated in nuclear power plants. The advantage of vitrifying for low- and intermediate-level radioactive wastes has a large volume reduction and good durability for the final products. Recently, a filter using on HVAC(Heating Ventilating & Air Conditioning System) is composed with media (glass fiber) and separator (aluminum film) has been studied the proper treatment technology for meeting the waste disposal requirement. Present paper is a feasibility study for the filter vitrification that developing of the glass compositions for filter melting and melting test for physicochemical characteristic evaluation. The aluminum metal of film type is preparing with 0.5 cm size for proper mixing with glass frit, glass fiber is also preparing with 1 cm size within crucible. The glass compositions should be developed considering molten glass are related with wastes reduction. Glass compositions obtained from developing on glass formulation are mainly composed of $SiO_2$ and $B_2O_3$ for aluminum metal. A variety of factors obtained from the glass formulation and melting test are reviewed, which is feeding rate and glass characteristics of final products such as durability for implementing the wastes disposal requirement.

The Ru-based thick film resistor(TFR) for sintering at 90$0^{\circ}C$ was synthesized to prepare the LCR net-work. These compositions of pyrochlore could be prepared by decreasing the amount of PbO and increasing alumina and silica contents of glass frit. In this study, the sheet resistances of the TFTs. which sint-ered at 90$0^{\circ}C$ after printing on alumina substrate, the sheet resistances of the TFRs on inductor and capa-citor substrate and the interphase between TFR and substrate were observed. And the changes of the sheet resistance were obtained with the contents of RuO2. In case of the TFR sintered at 90$0^{\circ}C$, the sheet resis-tances on alumina substrates were in the range of 103~106$\Omega$/$\square$, but the sheet resistances of TFR on in-ductor and capacitor substrate were not obtained.

Glass base sealant is required as a ceramic-ceramic joining material between α-alumina insulation cap and β-alumina electrolyte tube in the development of NaS battery cell package for electrical energy storage system. The fabrication of glass frit by thermal quenching method, phase analysis, particle size analysis, coefficient of thermal expansion and surface roughness according to the glass compositions were analyzed for the fabrication of glass sealing paste for ceramic-ceramic joining. Also, a new evaluation method of the adhesion strength of glass sealant at the small area in ceramic-ceramic joining component was proposed using conventional Dage bond tester that was used to measure the adhesion of solder ball joint.

The main phase of $BaTi_{4}O_9$-based ceramics was transformed to $BaTi_{5}O_{11}$ caused by the sintering with borosilicate glass, which was analyzed by using XRD and TEM. We considered that the phase change from $BaTi_{4}O_9$-based ceramics to the Ti-rich $BaTi_{5}O_{11}$ phase resulted from borosilicate glass selective absorbing of Ba ions from the $BaTi_{4}O_9$. In these results, we found a dependence on the amounts of the glass frits and the annealing temperature, and the phase change is also dependent of the main phases of $Ba_{4}Ti_{13}O_{30},\;and\;Ba_{2}Ti_{9}O_{20}$, which are involved in the $BaO-TiO_2-based$ Ti-rich region. In the case of sintering of middle- and high- permittivity material with additional glass frits for middle- and high- dielectric coefficients LTCC composition, control of weight fraction of the glass frits accompanying low-temperature sintering property with appropriate phase change is required.
