Continuous fiber ceramic composites (CFCCs) have advantages over monolithic ceramics : Silicon Nitride composites are not well used for application because of their low fracture toughness and fracture strength, but CFCCs exhibit increased toughness for damage tolerance, and relatively high stiffness in spite of low specific weight. Thus it is important to characterize the fracture resistance and properties of new CFCCs materials. Tensile and flexural tests were carried out for mechanical properties and the fracture resistance behavior of a SCS6 fiber reinforced Si$_3$N$_4$ matrix CFCC was evaluated. The results indicated that CFCC composite exhibit a rising R curve behavior in flexural test. The fracture toughness was about 4.8 MPa$.$m$\^$1/2 , which resulted in a higher value of the fracture toughness because of fiber bridging. Mechanical properties as like the elastic modulus, proportional limit and the ultimate strength in a flexural test are greater than those in a tensile test. Also a numerical modeling of failure process was accomplished for a flexural test. This numerical results provided a good simulation of the cumulative fracture process of the fiber and matrix in CFCCs.

A chemical reaction and electronic structure change at the interface between copper and titanium nitride were investigated by XPS. A thin Cu layer was deposited on a TiN substrate oxidized by exposure to air at room temperature. We observed the Ti(2p), O(1s), N(1s), Cu(2p) core-level, and Cu LMM Auger line spectra. With increasing of the thickness of Cu layer, these spectra do not show any changes in the line shape as well as in peak position. In addition, the valence band spectra in XPS do not show any changes, which indicates that Cu does not react with Ti, N, and O. This inreactivity of Cu might cause a poor adhesion between Cu and TiN.

도전성 섬유(Conductive textile)는 섬유자체의 고유 특성을 유지하면서 전기적인 도전 특성을 갖는 섬유로서, Cu, Ag, Ni 등의 전기전도성이 높은 금속 박막을 증착하여 제작하고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 금속은 공기 중의 산소와 결합하여 쉽게 산화되는 특성을 지니고 있기 때문에 사용 중에 산화되어 도전 특성이 감소하는 단점이 있다. TiN은 금속 못지않은 높은 전기전도성을 지니고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 금속에 비하여 높은 경도에 따른 우수한 내마모 특성, 내부식성 및 낮은 마찰계수를 지니고 있다. 그러나, TiN은 경도가 높기 때문에 섬유의 고유 특성인 유연성이 저하되는 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 면(Cotton), PE (Polyester), PP (Polypropylene) 등의 섬유 위에 TiN 박막을 증착하여, 섬유의 유연성을 유지하며 전기전도성과 내마모 특성이 우수한 도전성 섬유를 제작하고자 하였다. TiN 박막 증착을 위하여 ICP-assisted pulsed-DC reactive magnetron sputtering 장비를 사용하였으며, Ar:N2 유량비(Flow rate), Ti 타겟 power, ICP RF power 등을 변화시켜 Ti와 N의 조성비를 조절하였고, 이를 통하여 섬유의 휨이나 접힘에도 도전 특성이 변하지 않고 내마모 특성이 우수한 TiN 박막을 증착하였다. TiN 박막이 증착된 섬유의 전기전도도는 일정한 압력 하에 전기전도도를 측정할 수 있는 장치를 제작하여 측정하였으며, 표면 조성 분포 및 접합력 측정을 위하여 XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy)와 Peel-tester를 이용하였다.

최근 그래핀 연구와 더불어 2차원 구조의 나노소재에 대한 관심이 급증하면서 육각형의 질화붕소(hexagonal boron nitride; h-BN) 박막(nanosheet) [1]이나 붕소 탄화질화물(boron caronitride; BCN) 박막 [2,3]과 같은 2차원 구조체에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 중 BCN은 반금속(semimetal)인 흑연(graphite)과 절연체인 h-BN이 결합된 박막으로 원소의 구성 비율에 따라 전기적 특성을 제어할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 따라서 다양한 나노소자로의 응용을 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 폴리스틸렌(polystyrene, PS)과 보레인 암모니아(borane ammonia)를 고체 소스로 이용하여 열화학기상증착법으로 BCN 박막을 SiO2 기판 위에 직접 합성하였다. SEM과 AFM 관측을 통해 합성된 BCN 박막의 두께가 약 10 nm이며, RMS roughness가 0.5~2.6 nm로 매우 낮은 것을 확인하였다. 합성과정에서 PS의 양을 조절하여 BCN 박막의 탄소의 밀도를 성공적으로 제어하였으며, 이에 따라 전기적인 특성이 제어되는 양상을 확인하였다. 또한 합성온도 변화에 따른 BCN 박막의 전기적인 특성이 제어되는 양상을 확인하였다. 추가적으로 같은 방법을 이용하여 BCN 박막을 Cu 위에서 합성하여 SiO2 기판위에 전사하였다. 합성된 BCN 박막의 구조적 특징과 화학적 조성 및 결합 상태를 투과전자현미경(transmission electron microscopy), X-선 광전자 분광법(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), 라만 분광법(Raman spectroscopy)을 통해 조사하였고, 이온성 용액법(ionic liquid) [4]을 이용하여 전계효과 특성을 측정하였다.

In this study, we report on successful attempt towards the synthesis of sulfur self-doped $g-C_3N_4$ by directly heating thiourea in air. The synthesized materials were characterized using UV-vis spectral technique, FT-IR, XRD and TEM analysis. Further, the obtained material shows an excellent detection of carcinogenic TNP(Tri nitro phenol) in the presence of 10-fold excess of various other common interferences. The strong inner filter effect and molecular interactions(electrostatic, ${\pi}-{\pi}$, and hydrogen bonding interactions) between TNP and the $S-g-C_3N_4$ Nano sheets led to the fluorescence quenching of the $S-g-C_3N_4$ Nano sheets with an excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards TNP compared to that of other nitro aromatics under optimal conditions and the detection limit calculated was found to be 6.324 nM for TNP. The synthesized nanocomposite provides a promising platform for the development of sensors with improved reproducibility and stability for ultra-sensitive and selective sensing of TNP.

The aim of this study is to develop the dies oven for energy-saving during the pre-heated process of extrusion dies. Applying high-efficiency near-infrared heater, single cell type dies oven was developed as a substitute for traditional chest type oven. Therefore the dies is individually heated uniformly to operation temperature so rapidly. By using the developed dies oven, electric-energy consumption of preheating extrusion dies reduced up to 30% and the waiting time in the oven also minimized up to 90min. In addition, the results have shown that it is possible to accurately control the dies temperature for improving the quality of extruded profile and to minimize die bearing oxidation and nitride layer degradation responsible for surface defects on the profile and shorter die life.

AIN-based film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) devices which adopt a membrane-type configuration such as Mo/AIN/bottom-metal/Si are fabricated by employing a novel process. The proposed resonator structure does not require any supporting layer above the substrate, which leads to the reduction in energy loss of the resonators. For all the FBAR devices, the frequency response characteristics are measured and the device parameters, such as return loss and input impedance, are extracted from the frequency responses, and analyzed in terms of the various metals such as Al. Cu, Mo, W used in the bottom-electrode. The mass-loading effect caused by the used bottom-electrode metals is found to be the main reason for the difference revealed in the measured characteristics of the fabricated FBAH devices. The results obtained in this study also show that the degree of match in lattice constant and thermal expansion coefficient hetween piezoelectric layers and electrode metals is crucial to determine the device performance of FEAR.

The phase changes, nitride precipitation and hardness variations of 14%Cr-6.7Ni-0.65Mo-0.26Nb-0.05V-0.03C super martensitic stainless steel were investigated after nitrogen permeation heat treatment at a temperature range between $1050^{\circ}C$ and $1150^{\circ}C$. The nitrogen-permeated surface layer was transformed into austenite. The rectangular type NbN, NbCrN precipitates and fine round type precipitate were coexisted in the surface austenite layer, while the interior region that was free from nitrogen permeation kept the martensitic phase. The hardness of surface austenite showed 280 Hv, while the interior region of martensite phase represented 340 Hv. When tempering the nitrogen-permeated steel at $450^{\circ}C$, a maximum hardness of 433 Hv was appeared, probably this is attributed to the secondary hardening effect of the precipitates. The nitrogen concentration decreased gradually with increasing depth below the surface after showing a maximum of 0.3% at the outmost surface. The strong affinity between nitrogen and Cr enabled the substitutional element Cr to move from interiors to the surface when nitrogen diffuse form surface to the interior. Corrosion resistance of nitrogen permeated steel was superior to that of solution-anneaed steel in the solution of 1N $H_2SO_4$.

The ultrafine titanium carbonitride particles ($TiC_{0.7}N_{0.3}$) below 100nm in mean size were successfully synthesized by Mg-thermal reduction process. The nanostructured sub-stoichiometric titanium carbide ($TiC_{0.7}$) particles were produced by the magnesium reduction at 1123K of gaseous $TiC_{l4}+xC_2Cl_4$ and the heat treatments in vacuum were performed for five hours to remove residual magnesium and magnesium chloride mixed with $TiC_{0.7}$. And final $TiC_{0.7}N_{0.3}$ phase was obtained by nitrification under normal $N_2$ gas at 1373K for 2 hrs. The purity of produced $TiC_{0.7}N_{0.3}$ particles was above 99.3% and the oxygen contents below 0.2 wt%. We investigated in particular the effects of the temperatures in vacuum treatment on the particle refinement of final product.

In this paper, the properties of n-channel poly-Si TFTs with different channel widths are reported. Poly-Si fabricated using ELA on glass substrates has high quality as a material for applications such as TFT-LCDs. The fabricated n-channel TFTs have a double stack structure of oxide-nitride which acts as an insulator layer. The results show that the small channel TFTs exhibited a lower $V_{TH}$ and the wide channel TFTs had a higher $I_{DSAT}$. The nchannel poly-Si TFTs with an $I_{ON}/I_{OFF}$ value of more than $10^4$ can be reliable switching devices for AMOLED displays.
