We investigated the structure of an ultra-thin insulating board with low thermal conductivity along z-axis, which was based on the idea of void layers created during the glass infiltration process for the zero-shrinkage low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. An alumina and four glass powders were chosen and prepared as green sheets by the tape casting method. After comparison of the four glass powders, bismuth glass was selected for the experiment. Since there is no notable reactivity between alumina and bismuth glass, alumina was selected as the supporting additive in glass layers. With 2.5 vol% of alumina powder, glass green sheets were prepared and stacked alternately with alumina green sheet to form the 'alumina/glass (including alumina additive)/alumina' structure. The stacked green sheets were sintered into an insulating substrate. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the additive alumina formed supporting bridges in void layers. The depth and number of the stacking layers were varied to examine the insulating property. The lowest thermal conductivity obtained was 0.23 W/mK with a $500-{\mu}m-thick$ substrate.

There is a need to enlarge the mother glass substrate in OLED to raise its productivity and to realize OLED TV. On the other hand, some difficulties may arise regarding the deflection of a large glass substrate during its handling operation due to its thinness $(0.5\sim0.7t)$, which is not even enough to allow it to stand its own mass. This thesis proposes a conceptual plan for the application of the clamping- and bending-end conditions to the glass substrate handler. To verify proposed plan, the non-contact 3 dimensional measuring instrument is developed. The composition of the 3 dimensional measuring instrument measures shape of the product using X-Y stage robot and laser distance sensor. X-Y stage robot and laser distance sensor are controlled by LabVIEW language. To calibrate measuring instrument, the direction conversion of the Euler angle was used. In order to confirm deflection of the glass substrate, the experiment was carried out at the bending end boundary condition and the proposed effect was verified.

The optical and electronic properties of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin films deposited on a RF-plasma treated glass substrate were investigated by X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Ultra-violet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS), Reflected Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (REELS). The modification of glass substrates was carried out by varying the time of the plasma surface treatment in an oxygen atmosphere. The focus of this research was to examine how the optical and electronic properties of ITO thin films change with the plasma treatment time. The surface energy increased since the carbon bonds were removed from the surface after the glass substrate received the surface treatment. The ITO thin films produced on the glass substrate with surface treatment showed that the high optical transmittance was approximately 85%. The measured band gap energy was as high as 3.23 eV when the plasma treatment time was 60 s and the work function after the treatment was increased by 0.5 eV in comparison to that before the treatment of 60 s. The ITO thin film exhibited an excellent sheet resistance of $2.79{\Omega}/{\Box}$. We found that the optical and electronic properties of ITO thin films can be improved by RF-plasma surface treatment.

We have studied a printability of synthesized silver nano solon ITO glass substrate. The highly concentrated polymeric dispersant-assisted silver nano sol was prepared by variation of molecular weight and control of initial nucleation and growth of silver nanoparticles, to achive dispersion stability and controlling the size of silver nanoparticles. The synthesized silver nano-sol was tested for printability to explore the possibility of micro-electrodes patterning on ITO glass substrate. The silver micro-electrode with 50${\sim}100{\mu}m$ line width was formed on ITO glass substrate.

A non-symmetric laser beam was used for cutting a thin glass substrate and its effect was investigated. In laser cutting of brittle materials, controlling crack initiation on the surface is crucial; however, it is difficult to ensure that crack propagation occurs according to a designed laser path. A lot of deviation in crack propagation, especially at the edge of the substrate, is usually observed. A non-symmetric laser beam generates a non-uniform energy distribution, which enhances directional crack propagation. A 20-W pulsed YAG laser was used for cutting a thin glass substrate. Parametric analysis was carried out and the crack control of the non-symmetric laser beam was improved. A theoretical model was presented and the limitations of the proposed process were also discussed.

The structure of $(BaSr)TiO_3$ thin film deposited on ITO coated glass, bare glass and (100) Si substrates was not changed, but the crystallinity was improved by the polycrystalline ITO layer and (100) Si substrate. The composition of $(BaSr)TiO_3$ thin film deposited on ITO coated glass was nearly stoichiometric ((Ba+Sr)/Ti=1.08~1.09) and very uniform through all deposition process. But as the deposition temperature increases, the interdiffusion between grown thin film and ITO layer and between ITO layer and base glass is severer. $(BaSr)TiO_3$ thin film deposited on ITO coated glass substrate was highly transparent. The refractive index($n_f$) of $(BaSr)TiO_3$ thin film deposited on ITO coated glass was 2.138~2.286 as a function of substrate temperature.

Flexible displays such as plastic-based liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diode displays (OLEDDs) have been researched and developed at KETI since 1997. The plastic film substrate is very weak to heat and pressure compared to glass substrate, that its fabrication process is limited to 110$^{\circ}C$ and low pressure. The ITO films were deposited on the bare plastic film substrate by rf-magnetron sputtering. Moreover, in order to maintain uniform cell gap and pressure on the plastic film substrate, we utilized newly-invented jig and fabrication process. Electro-optical characteristics were better than or equivalent to those of typical glass LCDs though it is thinner, lighter-weight, and more robust than glass LCDs.

This investigation was performed to collect fundamental informations concerning the behavior of glass solders on ceramic joining process. The wettability of glasses on two types of alumina was evaluated by sessile drop method. SiO$_2$-CaO-Al$_2$O$_3$system glasses were selected as solder glasses, and alumina that have different purities were used for substrate materials. It is indicated that contact angles of glasses on 99% purity of alumina substrate do not change as increasing time at elevated temperature, however the contact angles on the 92% purity of alumina substrate exhibit the strong time dependency. The time-dependent property on 92% alumina was due to the interlayer reactions occurred between the glass solder and impurities on the substrate.

In this study, the characteristics of anti-pollution coatings on glass substrates through annealing treatment were investigated. To investigate the change of properties by coating method and number of annealing treatment, after the anti-pollution coating was performed on the surface of glass substrate in three ways, the annealing treatment was performed by setting three kinds of annealing treatment conditions. The annealing treatment method is a torch using gas, which is advantage in that it can be installed directly on the site in an easy way compared with a annealing treatment process which is generally difficult. The anti-pollution properties, contact angle, transmittance, hardness, and adhesion of films on glass substrate were measured under 9 conditions of combination of coating methods and annealing treatment conditions. It was confirmed that as the number of annealing treatment increases, the anti-pollution property of the film synthesized on glass substrate becomes better.
