Tri-crystalline silicon (Tri-Si) wafers have three different orientations and three grain boundaries. In this paper, tri-Si wafers have been used for the fabrication of buried contact solar cells. The optical and micro-structural properties of these cells after texturing in KOH solution have been investigated and compared with those of cast multi-crystalline silicon (multi-Si) wafers. We employed a cost effective fabrication process and achieved buried contact solar cell (BCSC) energy conversion efficiencies up to 15% whereas the cast multi-Si wafer has efficiency around 14%.

Thin tin oxide film with nano-size particle was prepared on silicon substrate by hydrothermal synthetic method and successive sol-gel spin coating method. The fabrication method of tin oxide film with ultrafine nano-size crystalline structure was tried to be applied to fabrication of micro gas sensor array on silicon substrate. The tin oxide film on silicon substrate was well patterned by chemical etching upto 5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$width and showed very uniform flatness. The tin oxide film preparation method and patterning method were successfully applied to newly proposed 2-dimensional micro sensor fabrication.

This paper researches static and dynamic bending behaviors of a crystalline nano-size shell having pores and grains in the framework of strain gradient elasticity. Thus, the nanoshell is made of a multi-phase porous material for which all material properties on dependent on the size of grains. Also, in order to take into account small size effects much accurately, the surface energies related to grains and pores have been considered. In order to take into account all aforementioned factors, a micro-mechanical procedure has been applied for describing material properties of the nanoshell. A numerical trend is implemented to solve the governing equations and derive static and dynamic deflections. It will be proved that the static and dynamic deflections of the crystalline nanoshell rely on pore size, grain size, pore percentage, load location and strain gradient coefficient.

In this paper, micro cantilevers which are made of two different materials - fused quartz and single crystalline silicon - and have similar dimensions were fabricated and their mechanical Q-factors were evaluated to compare intrinsic damping properties of those two materials. Resonant frequencies and Q-factors were measured for the cantilevers having fixed widths and thicknesses, and different lengths. The measured Q-values are in a range of 64,000 - 108,000 for fused quartz cantilevers, and 31,000 - 35,000 for silicon cantilevers, respectively. Experimental results support high Q-factors of fused quartz compared to single crystalline silicon due to its good intrinsic damping properties.

This paper is concerned with the development of a micro tensile testing machine for optically functional materials such as single or poly crystalline silicon and nickel film. This micro tensile tester has been developed for testing various types of materials and dimensions. PZT type actuation is utilized for precise displacement control. The specifications of the PZT actuated micro tensile testers developed are as follows: the volumetric size of the tester is desktop type of 710mm' 200mm' 270mm; the maximum load capacity and the load resolution in this system are IKgf and 0.0152mgf respectively and; the full stroke and the stoke resolution of the PZT actuator are $1000{\mu}m$ and 10nm respectively. Special automatic specimen installing and setting equipment is applied in order to prevent unexpected deformation and misalignment of specimens during handling of specimens for testing. Nonlinearity of the PZT actuator is compensated to linear control input by an inverse compensation method that is proposed in this paper. The strain data is obtained by ISDG method that uses the laser interference phenomenon. To test the reliance of this micro tensile testing machine, a $200{\mu}m$ thickness nickel thin film and SCS (Single Crystalline Silicon) material that is made with the MEMS fabrication process are used.

In this paper, we present a planar single-crystalline silicon x-axis micro-gyroscope fabricated with a perfectly aligned vertical actuation combs on one silicon wafer, using the extended SBM technology. The fabricated x-axis micro-gyroscope has the resolution of 0.1 deg/sec, the bandwidth of 100 Hz. These research results allow integrating 6 axes inertial measurement (3 accelerations and 3 angular rates) on the same silicon substrate using the same process for the first time.

스크래칭 시험(scratching test)을 이용하여 단결정 실리콘의 수직하중에 대한 마찰계수, AE(Acoustic Emission) 신호와 긁힌 자취의 미세균열을 관찰하고 그 결정구조를 분석하였다. 스크래칭 시험은 하중인가속도(loading rate)를 100N/min으로 하고 스크래칭 속도(scratching speed)를 1, 3, 6, 10mm/min의 4가지로 하여 최대 30N이 될 때까지 행하였다. 그 결과, 수직하중 또는 스크래칭 속도가 증가할 때 마찰계수, AE, 균열밀도는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 스크래칭, 자취에 대한 마이크로 라만 분광법을 이용한 결정구조 분석결과, 스크래칭 속도가 느린 조건에서 압력인가에 따른 실리콘의 다이아몬드 구조에서 다른 고압상의 구조로의 상전이 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다.

A periodic away of zinc oxide(ZnO) micro-rods as fabricated by using chemical bath deposition and photo-lithography. Vertically aligned ZnO micro-rods array was successfully grown by chemical bath deposition method on ZnO seed layer. The ZnO seed layer was deposited on glass and the patterning was made by standard photo-lithography technique. The selective growth of ZnO micro-rods as achieved with the masked ZnO seed layer. The fabricated ZnO micro rods were found to be single crystalline and have grown along hexagonal c-axis direction of (0002) which is same as the preferred growth orientation of ZnO seed layer.

Ultra-precision turning is highly needed to manufacture molds for precision lens. In this study, micro-turning combined with elliptical vibration cutting (EVC), which is known to enhance micro- machining quality, was investigated by installing a rotary stage into the micro-grooving machine. From machining experiments involving materials of copper, brass, and aluminum and single and poly crystalline diamond tools, it was found that EVC produced thinner and curlier chips and that better surface finish could be achieved, compared with conventional turning, owing to prohibition of formation of burrs and built-up edges. Therefore, we found EVC micro turning could be readily utilized to manufacture precision mold.
