반사방지(Anti-Reflection, AR) 특성은 태양전지, LED, 광검출기 등의 광전소자와 디스플레이의 효율과 투과도를 향상시키기 위해 적용되고 있다. 또한 최근에 네비게이션, 스마트폰의 보급 증가로 인해 소형 디스플레이에 지문방지와 동시에 반사방지 기능을 갖는 필름이 사용되고 있다. 현재 적용되고 있는 반사방지 필름은 다층박막 코팅으로 형성된 필름[1]으로 생산단가와 박막의 내구성 및 신뢰성에 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 나노구조로 제작 되는 반사방지 필름에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다[2]. 나노구조로 형성된 반사방지 구조는 moth-eye 구조라고 하며, 기본 원리는 원뿔 형태를 형성된 나노 구조를 통해 공기와 나노구조 사이의 유효 굴절률을 서서히 변화시켜 반사를 줄이는 것이다. 그러므로 moth-eye 나노구조는 파장 이하의 pitch와 파장 크기의 높이를 갖도록 구조가 제작되어야 한다[3]. Photo-lithography[4], e-beam lithography[5], interference lithography[6], dip-pen nanolithography[7], hybrid nano-patterning lithography[8] 등 여러 가지 방법으로 나노 구조를 제작하고 있으나, 네비게이션이나 스마트폰 등에 적용될 수 있는 대면적으로 제작하기 위해서는 roll-to-roll printing과 같은 대면적 공정을 이용하여 제작하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 원통형 알루미늄 rod에 양극산화를 통해 다공성 AAO(anode aluminium oxide) template를 제작하고, roll-to-roll printing 기술을 사용하여 moth-eye 나노구조를 갖는 반사방지 필름을 제작하는 것에 대해 기술하였다.

Printed electronics is a technology that produces electronic devices and circuits by printing functional ink on a web, which is a film-like flexible material. This technology is suitable for large-scale and high-speed mass production, and is a next-generation process technology that can fabricate electronic devices from flexible materials. As precise measurement of the positions of the web is required in order to commercialize such a printed electronics process, a measurement system with an optical encoder with a precision of micrometers had been proposed in the preceding research of this study. However, the lateral positions of the web could not be measured in the preceding research as the phenomenon of the entire web being moved in the lateral direction could not be detected. In this study, a measurement system that utilizes the differences in the amount of light reflected from the alignment patterns depending on the web positions in the lateral direction was proposed for measuring the lateral positions of the web. In addition, its reliability was verified and then the effect when measuring printed alignment patterns was analyzed by experiments.

This paper presents the evaluation of PID and fuzzy control logic for the lateral position control of a moving web in roll-to-roll (R2R) printed electronics. In addition, we report the implementation of computer simulation software that enables us to develop the control logic in a graphic user interface and to test the controller performance in 3D dynamic environment. A mathematical model of the web dynamics is described first to explain the lateral motion of a moving web. Based on the model, PID and fuzzy controllers are designed, and embedded in the simulation software. Under the simulation conditions for fabricating RFID antenna by R2R printing, the results indicate that the fuzzy controller shows a better performance and can be more suitable for R2R multi-layer printed electronics.

본 연구는 Roll-to-Roll Sputtering 장비를 사용하여 제작된 Flexible ITO electrode 필름의 방사선 검출기로의 적용가능성을 알아보기 위해 기존의 Glass ITO electrode의 전기적 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 본 연구는 Flexible ITO electrode와 Glass ITO electrode을 하부전극으로 형성하고, 최근에 X-ray 변환체로 활발히 연구되고 있는 Powder 형태의 반도체물질인 HgI2 와 PbI2를 Binder와 일정한 비율로 혼합하여 3-Rolls-Miller를 사용하여 Powder를 일정한 미세크기로 만들고, 대면적 제작이 용이한 Screen-Printing method을 이용하여 시편을 제작하였다. 제작된 필름은 하부전극의 종류에 따른 X-ray 입사 후의 전기적신호의 차이를 측정하고, HgI2와 PbI2 중 Flexible ITO electrode와 더욱 효율적으로 반응하여 기존의 Glass ITO electrode를 대체할 수 있는 전극을 발견하여 진단용 의료영상의 왜곡 현상을 제거할 수 있는 Flexible 방사선 검출기의 제작의 초석을 제공하는 연구를 목적으로 한다. SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) 통하여 반도체 물질의 결정구조와 크기를 알아보았고, 하부 전극의 종류에 따른 전기적 신호검출을 위해 제작된 필름의 암전류(Dark current) 와 민감도(Sensitivity)를 측정한 후, SNR (Signal -to- Noise)을 계산하여 평가하였다.

A curing process in post-printing section of R2R process is required for an electrical property of the printed pattern when devices such as RFID, Solar cell are printed. PEN as well as heat-stabilized PET which is used as a plastic substrate would be deformed at high temperature due to change of its elastic modulus. And crack in the printed pattern, which is on the plastic substrate is occurred due to the deformation of the substrate. The occurrence of crack causes electrical resistance to increase and the quality of the device to deteriorate. In case of RFID antenna, the range of reading distance is shortened as the electrical resistance of the antenna is increased. Therefore, the deformation of the plastic substrate, which causes the occurrence of crack, should be minimized by setting up low operating tension in R2R process. In low tension, slippage between a moving substrate and a roller would be generated when the operating speed is increased. And scratch would be occurred when slippage is generated due to an air entrainment, which is related to the thickness of the air film. The thickness of the air film is increased when operating speed is increased as shown by simulation based on mathematical model. The occurrence of scratch in conductive pattern printed by roll to roll process is a critical damage because it causes degradation or failure of electrical property of it.

The one of the most important issue in roll-to-roll gravure printing is increase of ink transfer ratio or printability. As the result of high ink transfer ratio or printability, we can assess the quality of the printed patterns. The rheological properties are the important factors for the printability of electrodes patterning. In this study, the rheological properties of conductive ink are controlled by adding the solvent. The inks with different rheological properties are used for the patterning of the electrodes of $100{\mu}m$ by gravure printing equipment. The various printing speed, which also affect the rheological properties of conductive ink, is applied and the printed patterns are compared for their width and aspect ratio. Decreasing in the ink viscosity as well as increasing in the printing speed decreases the printability in gravure patterning, which shows that the rheological properties are important factors for the printability of gravure patterning.

Future MEMS systems will be composed of larger varieties of devices with very different functionality such as electronics, mechanics, optics and bio-chemistry. Integration technology of heterogeneous devices must be developed. This article first deals with the current development trend of new fabrication technologies; those include self-assembling of parts over a large area, wafer-scale encapsulation by wafer-bonding, nano imprinting, and roll-to-roll printing. In the latter half of the article, the concept towards the heterogeneous integration of devices and functionality into micro/nano systems is described. The key idea is to combine the conventional top-down technologies and the novel bottom-up technologies for building nano systems. A simple example is the carbon nano tube interconnection that is grown in the via-hole of a VLSI chip. In the laboratory level, the position-specific self-assembly of nano parts on a DNA template was demonstrated through hybridization of probe DNA segments attached to the parts. Also, bio molecular motors were incorporated in a micro fluidic system and utilized as a nano actuator for transporting objects in the channel.

In this study, we fabricated and evaluated graphene composite based 3D scaffolds and planar films. The hybrid composite was prepared by mixing a calculated amount of graphene nanopowder and polydimethylsiloxane in tetrahydrofuran solution. The hybrid composite is easy to manufacture into various forms using direct printing technology or a pressing method. A 3D scaffold structure was prepared at ambient temperature with a flow rate of 240 mm/min. The nozzle pressure was maintained at 350 kPa by adjusting the viscosity of the composite material. The planar film was prepared at different thicknesses using a roll-to-roll equipment. The prepared hybrid nanocomposites were evaluated to investigate their electrical properties according to temperature and mechanical deformation. The obtained results were consistent with each other. Therefore, it can be used effectively as sensors through shape definition.
