In this paper, we present a finger tip tactile sensor which can detect contact normal force as well as slip. The sensor is made up of two different materials, such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) known as piezoelectric polymer, and pressure variable resistor ink. In order to detect slip on the surface of the object, two PVDF strips are arranged along the normal direction in the robot finger tip and the thumb tip. The surface electrode of the PVDF strip is fabricated using silk-screening technique with silver paste. Also a thin flexible force sensor is fabricated in the form of a matrix using pressure variable resistor ink in order to sense the static force. The developed tactile sensor is physically flexible and it can be deformed three-dimensionally to any shape so that it can be placed on anywhere on the curved surface. In addition, a tactile sensing system is developed, which includes miniaturized charge amplifier to amplify the small signal from the sensor, and the fast signal processing unit. The sensor system is evaluated experimentally and its effectiveness is validated.

To improve the blue responses of screen-printed single crystalline silicon solar cells, we investigated an emitter etch-back technique to obtain high emitter sheet resistances, where the defective dead layer on the emitter surface was etched and became thinner as the etch-back time increased, resulting in the monotonous increase of short circuit current and open circuit voltage. We found that an optimal etch-back time should be determined to achieve the maximal performance enhancement because of fill factor decrease due to a series resistance increment mainly affected by contact and lateral resistance in this case. To elucidate the reason for the fill factor decrease, we studied the resistance analysis by potential mapping to determine the contact and the lateral series resistance. As a result, we found that the fill factor decrease was attributed to the relatively fast increase of contact resistance due to the dead layer thinning down with the lowest contact resistivity when the emitter was contacted with screen-printed silver electrode.

The TSDC(Thermally Stimulated Depolarization Current) measurement were carried out in the temperature range $30{\sim}500^{\circ}C$. We observed the anomalous two peaks that have a thousand times longer relaxation time than that of the space charge. It seems that the origin of the two peak are due to the electron trapping effect and to the adsorption of the vacancies at silver electrode.

Copper powders have been widely used in electrically conductive coatings, electrode materials et al. and are very prospective since they are cheaper than noble metal powders such as silver or palladium. In this study, copper powders for metal filler of EMI shielding have been prepared using a solvothermal process from $CuSO_4$, NaOH, Glucose, mixed solvent ($H_2O$: Ethanol) and hydrazine which was used as a reducing agent at various reaction conditions. The prepared copper powders showed finely dispersed spherical shape without agglomerate, uniform morphology, narrow size distribution, high purity and were about 400-700 nm in size. The prepared powders were characterized using XRD, SEM, TGA, XPS, particle size measurement and EMI shielding efficiency.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of arc current and contact velocity on the erosion of silver-based contact materials to be used in low voltage circuit breakers. The opening velocity during breaking, which is constant, ranges between 2m/s to 6m/s in the 415V $25kA_{rms}$. Contact erosion is evaluated by measuring the mass change of the cathode and anode. The results show that the increase in opening velocity from 2m/s to 6m/s leads to a decrease in the contact erosion. It is shown that the material transfer from one electrode to another depends on the transfer charge and the opening velocity of the contacts. The contact pairs of AgWC/AgCdO are superior to $AgWC/AgSnO_2In_2O_3$ or AgWC/AgC contact pairs in the contact erosion.

본 연구에서는 Ga-doped ZnO(GZO)-Ag-GZO 다층 투명전극을 Dual DC magnetron sputtering system을 이용 하여 유리기판 위에 상온에서 제작하여 Ag 두께에 따른 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성변화를 조사하였다. Hall effect measurement와 UV/Vis spectrometer로 전기적, 광학적 특성을 분석하였으며, X-ray diffraction(XRD)와FE-SEM분석을 통해 결정성과 표면 특성을 조사하였다. FE-SEM 분석결과 island 형태에서 continuous layer로 박막의 형상이 바뀌면서 다층 투명전극의 전기적, 광학적 특성에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 실험에서 Ag 두께 12 nm에서 가장 최적화되어 유리기판위에 상온에서 증착되었음에도 불구하고 $5.5{\times}{\times}10^{-5}\Omega$-cm, $6\Omega$/sq. 의 매우 낮은 면저항과 비저항을 각각 나타내었고 550 nm 파장에서 87 % 의 높은 광 투과도를 나타내었다. 또한 두께 12 nm의 Ag가 삽입된 다층 투명전극을 polyethylene terephthalate (PET) 기판위에 성막하여 Bending test를 실시하여 0.1% 이하의 매우 낮은 저항변화를 확인함으로써 플렉시블 기반의 디스플레이나 태양전지의 투명 전극으로서의 응용 가능성을 확인하였고 마지막으로 최적화된 다층 투명전극을 유기물태양전지의 애노드에 적용하여 기존 ITO 애노드를 대체할 수 있는 투명전극으로서의 가능성을 제시하였다.

신축성 디바이스는 다양한 디자인을 적용할 수 있고 형태에 대한 제약을 최소화 할 수 있어 수요가 점점 증가하고 있다. 신축성 디바이스의 핵심인 신축 전극에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 물결무늬나 코일 형태의 금속 전극, 탄소 소재를 사용한 전극, 하이드로젤 전극 등이 연구되었다. 하지만 이러한 방법들은 공정과정이 복잡하거나, 변형시 전기적 저항 변화가 크다. 또한 단일 소재를 활용한 신축성 전극은 물질적인 한계로 인하여 신축성을 향상시키는 데 한계가 있다. 신축 전극에 많이 사용되는 은 나노와이어는 용액에 분산되어 있어 공정이 쉽고, 좋은 전기적 특성을 가지는 소재이다. 은 나노와이어는 네트워크 형태로 얽혀있어 신축성 있는 배선의 재료로써 좋은 역할을 할 것으로 기대하지만, 은 나노 와이어만 사용하여 제작한 배선은 늘렸을 때 나노와이어들 간의 접촉 불량으로 저항이 증가한다. 이를 보완하기 위해 본 연구에서는 배선을 형성하고 있는 금속 나노소재 간 전기적 접촉을 향상시키기 위해 은 나노와이어와 은 나노입자를 섞어 하이브리드 잉크를 제작하여 전극을 형성했다. 하이브리드 잉크로 제작한 전극을 신축성 있는 고분자에 함입하여 신축률에 따른 저항을 평가했다. $175^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 전극을 5% 늘렸을 때, 단일 소재인 은 나노와이어나 은 나노입자만을 사용한 경우는 전극이 끊어지거나 저항이 175%나 증가했지만, 하이브리드 잉크를 사용했을 때는 16.5% 증가했다.

In this study, the Tx(Transmitting) and Rx(Receiving) band pass filter for personal communication services was constructed and designed using .lambda./4 TEM mode dielectric resonators. Band pass filter was composed of ceramics resonators which has been developed using ($Zr_{0.65}$,$Sn_{0.35}$) $Ti_{1.04}$ $O_{4.04}$ ceramic and Unloaded-Q ( $Q_{o}$) of .lambda./4 TEM mode dielectric resonator with inner hole size 0.9mm and external size 3mm using silver electrode is 354.5 at 1.95GHz. For the band pass filter design and construction, the design theory and simulation results of band pass filter using J-inverter theory have been studied. The parameters which are evaluated by design theory are practically applied to the filter construction and the simulation results are in agreement with the measured results after fine tunnings.s.s.s.s.s.
