A large area plasma source using parallel $2{\times}2$ ICP antennas showed improved etching uniformity by the E-ICP operation. ITO etching process with $CH_4$ gas chemistry is optimized with the DOE (Design of Experiment) based on Taguchi method. Various methane ratios in methane and argon mixture are compared to confirm the effect of polymerization. The analysis shows that the effect of bias power is the largeset. We obtained higher ITO etching rate and better uniformity on $350{\times}300mm$ substrate at the 50Hz magnetization frequency of the E-ICP operation technique,

Defining the relationship between the quality of injection molded parts and the process condition is very complicate because of lots of factor are involved and each factor has a non-linearity. With the development of CAE(Computer Aided Engineering) technology, the estimation of volumetric shrinkage of injection mold parts is possible by computer simulation even though restricted application. In this research, Neural Network applied for finding optimal processing condition. The percent of volumetric shrinkage compared on each case and show neural network can be successfully applied selecting optimum condition not only within factor level but also between factor level.

For quality improvement, it is important to reduce variations of the quality characteristic. That can be achieved by the a, pp.ication of parameter design methodology to make the performance of the quality characteristic robust over the variety of noise conditions. Taguchi has used the signal-to-noise ratios for that purpose. For the static target characteristic and the dynamic characteristic problem, we propose a reasonable generalized SN ratio and p-value plot for identifying dispersion factors. The orginal idea of the p-value plot in from the gamma-plot in Lunani, Nair & Wasserman(1995). The graphic advantage of the p-value polt for identifying dispersion factors is illustrated through constructed examples.

Domestic three-way catalyst satisfies exhaust gas conversion efficiency or pressure drop etc. but doesn't satisfy thermal durability. Thermal stress analysis for three-way catalyst was performed based on experimental temperature distribution. Thermal safety of three-way catalyst was estimated by safety factor. Aspect ratio variable had the most significant effect on thermal stress. Thickness variable had the least significant effect on thermal stress. Optimal conditions for premature failure prevention of three-way catalyst were as follows : (1) aspect ratio of three-way catalyst : 0.6:1 (2) 2.84mm thick (3) silicon nitride. The safety of Taguchi-optimized three-way catalyst were 4.7 times higher than that of existent three-way catalyst.

Injection mold is a manufacturing process used to produce parts of complicated shape at a low cost. Many factors affect the quality of injection molded part during injection molding process. A study on the optimization of injection mold is progressed by using a simulation software like Moldflow. Filling, packing and cooling phases of injection molding processes are analyzed according to the mold design considering the shrinkage of molded part, the degree of filling rate and the wearing of a mold. Taguchi method is applied to analyze the significance of processing parameters and the dynamic characteristics according to the variation of processing parameters. From the results, the mold temperature and packing pressure influenced strongly the shrinkage of injection molded part.

The tape carrier package(TCD) is one of the most important components in a liquid crystal display(LCD) module. It has a role to transmit electrical signals from a printed circular board(PCB) to a display panel. If TCP is damaged under mechanical shock, the signals can not be transmitted to the panel and as a result, some dead lines are generated on the panel. This kind of phenomenon is commonly called as 'line defects'. In this paper, new structural design concepts of TCP are proposed to guarantee its reliability by using Taguchi's approach and dynamic FE-analysis. The line defects problem of TCP module is solved by replacing the original TCP with the newly designed one.

There are a lot of manholes such as for water supply, sewage, telecommunication cable, traffic sign, electricity supply, and rainwater, etc. Conventional manholes installed on a road are impossible to adjust height, so that they should be entirely excavated to reinstall or repair. This entire excavation of a manhole causes too much time-consuming work, waste of resources, and obstruction of traffic. In this study, in order to solve the above mentioned problems, a cover, outer and inner parts of a manhole are integrated by gear-shaped parts located between outer and inner parts of a manhole. Mechanical design is performed to determine dimension of gear-shaped parts by Taguchi orthogonal array table. Cast molds for a gear-shaped manhole are also manufactured.

In this study, in order to get the forming limit of AHSS sheet in the negative minor strain region, the shapes of die corner and drawbead are redesigned by employing the Taguchi's design of experiment method and the FEM forming simulation. With the redesigned FLD tool, the forming limit tests of automotive multi-phase(Dual Phase and Complex Phase) steel sheets which induce the normal fractures on the blank are performed.

The Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm has been successfully applied to various difficult combinatorial optimization problems. Since the performance of a SA algorithm, generally depends on values of the parameters, it is important to select the most appropriate parameter values. In this paper the SA algorithm is optimally designed for performance acceleration, by using the Taguchi method. Several test problems are solved via the SA algorithm optimally designed, and the solutions obtained are compared to solution results McMullen & Frazier(2000). The performance of the SA algorithm is evaluated in terms of solution quality and computation times. Computational results show that the proposed SA algorithm is effective and efficient in finding near-optimal solutions.
