Li ion battery have many advantages such as high energy density, high voltage and low self discharge, so it will replace conventional Ni/Cd battery. But, charge-discharge characterization of Li battery is controlled by weight ratio of electrodes (Cathode/Anode). So, we performed a study on relation between charge/discharge characterization and weight ratio (cathode/anode).

The purpose of this study Is to research and develop $V_{6}O_{13}$ composite cathode for lithium thin film battery. $V_{6}O_{13}$ represents a class of cathode active material used in Li rechargeable batteries. In this study, we investigated cyclic voltammetry and charge/discharge characteristics of $V_6O_{13}$/SPE/Li cells. Cyclic voltammogram of $V_{6}O_{13}$/SPE/Li cell at scan rate 1mV/sec showed reduction peaks of 2.25V and 2.4V and oxidation peaks of 2.4V and 2.2V. The discharge curve of $V_{6}O_{13}$/SPE/Li cell showed 4 potential plateaus. The discharge capacity was decreased in the beginning of charge/discharge cycling. After 8th cycling, the discharge capacity was stable. The discharge capacity of 1st cycle and 15th cycle was 290mAh/g and 147mAh/g at $25^{\circ}C$, respectively.

In this paper, structural properties of CdTe thin films and photovoltaic properties of thin film CdS/CdTe solar ceIl prepared by thermal vacuum evaporation were studied. Structural variation with $CdCl_2/heat$ treatment are assessed using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The crystal structure of CdTe films was zincblend type with preferential orientation of the (111) plane parallel to the substrate. The $CdCl_2$ treatment appears to increase the grain size of polycrystalline CdTe thin film. It was found that CdS/CdTe solar cell characteristics were improved by the heat treatment with $CdCl_2$. The conversion efficiency, however, decreased when heat treatment temperature was too high.

ITO(Indium tin Oxide) film thickness of the ITO/AR/substrate glass/solar cell structure samples are $40{\AA}$, $60{\AA}$, $160{\AA}$, $240{\AA}$ respectively. The solar cell maximum output power on the stacking structure variations showed 465mW in the AR/ITO/substrate glass/solar cell, and minimum output power showed 403mW in the AR/substrate glass/solar cell. The maximum output power of the solar cell on the ITO thickness variations of the ITO/AR/substrate glass/solar cell showed 460mW at $40{\AA}$ then decrease output power as ITO thickness increase. For environment tests, all samples are exposed UV light in the vacuum chanber. The output power degradation of AR(UVR)/substrate glass/solar cell stacking structure is small compared with ITO/AR(UVR)/substrate glass/solar cell stacking structure.

Thin Silicon oxynitride(SiON) films have been chemically deposited using 193nm ArF Excimer Laser CVD, with $Si_{2}H_{8}$, $N_{2}O$, and $NH_3$ as the reactive gases and $N_2$ as the carrier gas. Experimental results show that deposition rate and refractive index have a strong dependence on substrate temperature, chamber pressure, gas ratio, laser power and laser beam height. Electrical characterization of oxynitride films demonstrates that for $NH_{3}/N_{2}O$ flow ratios ranging from 0.25 to 1, the leakage currents, the interface trap density and the capacitances (dielect ric constant) increase and the dielectric breakdown fields decrease

Effective ionization coefficients for (100), (110) and (111) oriented gallium arsenide are extracted from the ionization coefficients far electrons and holes.

In this study, ferroelectric $PbTiO_3$ thin films were deposited on the Pt/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by Sol-Gel method. $PbTiO_3$ stock solution was made and spin-cooled at 4000[rpm] for 30[sec.]. Coated specimens were dried at $400[^{\circ}C]$ for 10[min.] and then annealed at $500{\sim}800[^{\circ}C]$ for 1 hour. Annealing temperature were examined to optimize micro structural and dielectric properties of the films. The ferroelectric perovskite phase was observed in the file annealed at $700[^{\circ}C]$ for 1 hour. In the case of $PbTiO_3$ thin films annealed at $700[^{\circ}C]$ for hour, dielectric constant and dielectric loss showed the good value of 324, 2.0[%], respectively.

And ration of In:Se was 2:3 $CulnSe_2$ thin films deposited by three stage process have shown strong adhesion on Mo coated glass substrates and good morphological properties suitable device fabrication. XWD spectra show single phase chalcopyrite $CulnSe_2$ films with strong orientation in the 112 plane. Resistivity of $CulnSe_2$ thin films was about $5{\times}10^{5}\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. Surface morphology of CdS/$CulnSe_2$/Mo films was very good because of no pin holes.

The laser annealing effects on the TEOS (Tetra-Ethyl-Ortho-Silicate) oxide of MOS (Al/TEOS/n+ Silicon) structures was investigated with different initial oxide conditions, such as breakdown field. The breakdown field increased up to the 170 $mJ/cm^2$ with increasing laser energy density and decreased at 220 $mJ/cm^2$. It is considered that the increase of breakdown field is originated from the restore of strains which exist mainly at the metal/oxide interface.

Hydrogen passivation enhances the electrical characteristics of poly-Si TFT(Thin Film Transistor). However, the weak Si-H bonds, generated during hydrogenation, degrade the stability of the device. So, we carried out the passivation treatment with $NH_3$ or $N_2$. We compared the effect of $NH_3$ or $N_2$ passivation treatments with that of hydrogenation in terms of stability. Through the $NH_3$ passivation treatment, we obtained the most improved subthreshold swing of 1.2V/decade from the initial subthreshold swing of 1.56V/decade. When electrical stress was given, the $NH_3$ passivated devices showed best electrical stability.

Thin films of diamond-like carbon(DLC) have been deposited using a magnetron plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD) method with an rf(13.56 MHz) plasma of $C_{3}H_{8}$. From the Langmuir probe I-V characteristics, it can be observed that increasing the magnetic field yields an increase of the temperature($T_e$) and density($N_e$) of electron. At a magnetic field of 82 Gauss, the estimated values of $T_e$ and $N_e$ are approximately $1.5\;{\times}\;10^5$ K(13.5 eV) and $1.3\;{\times}\;10^{11}\;cm^{-3}$, respectively. Such a highly dense plasma can be attributed to the enhanced ionization caused by the cyclotron motion of electrons in the presence of a magnetic field. On the other hand, the negative dc self-bias voltage($-V_{sb}$) decreases with an increasing magnetic field, which is irrespective of gas pressure in the range of $1{\sim}7$ mTorr. This result is well explained by a theoretical model considering the variation of $T_e$. Deposition rates of DLC films increases with a magnetic field. This may be due to the increased mean free path of electrons in the magnetron plasma. Structures of DLC films are examined by using various techniques such as FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. Most of hydrocarbon bonds in DLC films prepared consist of $sp^3$ tetrahedral bonds. Increasing the rf power leads to an enhancement of cross-linking of carbon atoms in DLC films. At approximately 140 W, the maximum film density obtained is about 2.4 $g/cm^3$.

In order to optimize the characteristics of gate insulator for FED(field emission device), we investigated the effect of wet-etching process on the gate insulator for fabrication of FED. We used the general three types of etchants for fabrication of the metal tip FEA(field emitter array), they are MO and oxide etchants to form the gate hole, and Al etchant to remove the release layer. In the result of the breakdown field of the insulator by the measure of the current-voltage characteristics, the breakdown field of insulator for immersing in oxide etchant was rapidly lowering with increasing etching time, but that for immersing in Al etchant was slow lowering. Also, in comparing cleaning with non-cleaning samples, the breakdown field of the cleaning samples was higher than that of non-cleaning samples.

The odd-even effect of the alkyl chain length of rubbed polyimide Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) surfaces on the extrapolation length of 5CB has been successfully evaluated for the first time by measuring polar anchoring strength. The extrapolation length of 5CB for rubbed PI-LB surfaces with even-numbers is small compared with odd-numbers for alkyl chain lengths of greater than 7 carbons. The extrapolation length of 5CB on rubbed PI-LB surfaces with odd-numbers increases gradually as the temperature increases but tends to diverge near the clearing temperature (Tc=$35.3^{\circ}C$). The extrapolation length diverges because of rapidly decreasing surface order near $T_c$. We suggest that the polar anchoring strength on rubbed PI-LB surfaces with even-number is strong because of relatively high surface ordering caused by more crystalline surfaces. Finally, we conclude that the odd-even effects of the polar anchoring strength in NLCs are strongly related to the character of the polymer and observed clearly for long alkyl chain lengths.

In resonant tunneling diodes with the quantum well structure showing the negative differential resistance (NDR), it is essential to increase both the peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) and the peak current density ($J_p$) for the accurate switching operation and the high output of the device. In this work, a resonant interband tunneling diode (RITD) with single quantum well structure, which is composed of $In_{0.53}Ga_{0.47}As/ln_{0.52}Al_{0.48}As$ heterojunction on the InP substrate, is suggested to improve the PVCR and $J_p$ through the narrowed tunnel barriers. As the result, the measured I-V curves showed the PVCR over 60.

D-E hysteresis loops have been measured for the 65/35 mole % copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and trifIuoroethyIene over wide temperature range. The results were analyzed and discussed. The remanent polarization and the coercive field at room termperature were estimated to be 75 $mC/m^3$ and 55 MV/m respectively. D-E hysteresis loops were observed even below the glass transiation temperature$-20^{\circ}C$) and the remanent polarization and the coercive field were larger than larger, as the temperature lower. It seems that the remanent polarization and the coercive field depend on the amorphous region as well as crystalline region in this copolymer. And the ferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transition was observed at $90^{\circ}C$ on heating and $80^{\circ}C$ on cooling. Double hysteresis loops were observed at the temperature($85^{\circ}C$) of paraelectric phase.

The effects of electrical stress in hydrogen passivated and as-fabricated poly-Si TFT's are investigated. It is observed that the charge trapping in the gate dielectric is the dominant degradation mechanism in poly-Si TFT's which has been stressed by the gate bias alone while the creation of defects in the poly-Si film is prevalent in gate and drain bias stressed devices. The degradation due to the gate bias stress is dramatically reduced with hydrogenation time while the degradation due to the gate and drain bias stress is increased a little. From the experimental results, it is considered that hydrogenation suppress the charge trapping at gate dielectrics as well as improve the characteristics of poly-Si TFT's.

Partial discharges(PD) in air insulated electric power systems cause power loss, produce interfering electromagnetic radiation, and can indicate incipient failure. An understanding of PD in air gap is clearly important. The Wavelet transformation is an extended method of fourier transformation. The fourier method is a powerful tool for signal analysis, but it can't include informations for time.

In this paper we apply the wavelet transformation to the PD signals in needle-plane air gap for tile purpose of analysis of developing aspects of PD. We can analyze the developing aspects of PD, namely, PD current, repetition rates, width of pulse distribution region, pulseless region and frequencies distribution of PD pulses.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have been prepared by a widely-used plasma CVD with an rf (13.56MHz) plasma of $CH_4$ gas. The hydrogen incorporated in DLC films plays an important role of determining the film properties, but its exact role has not been clear. In this study, the effect of hydrogen on the film properties of DLC has been examined by adding the hydrogen gas to the $CH_4$ gas during deposition and by exposing the prepared film to the hydrogen plasma.

The FT-IR spectroscopy results show that the number of C-H bonds decreases with increasing the hydrogen gas. Also, the variation in the position of "G" and "D" peaks due to additive hydrogen, which has been measured by the Raman spectroscopy, indicates of $sp^3$ fraction.

The role of ESR spectroscopy in the characterization of functional LB films is discussed. Optical absorption were performed on LB films of binary mixtures of three kinds of merocyanine dyes where DS and 6Me-DS form J-like aggregates but not DO in single component films. The observed optical absorption spectra of mixed films were markedly dependant on the combination of dyes.

In structural studios, ESR is of particular important in the analysis of molecular orientation of LB films. Development of new functional LB films may provide more cases where ESR spectroscopy will clarify the nature of such films.

The high temperature characteristics of SOI BMFET are analyzed by the numerical simulation and compared with MOS-gated SOI power devices at high temperatures. The proposed SOI BMFET combines bipolar operation in the on-state with unipolar FET operation in the off-state, so that it may be suitable for high temperature operation without any significant degradation of performance such as the leakage current and blocking capability. The simulation results show that SOI BMFET with a higher doped n-resurf layer is the most promising device far high temperature application as compared with MOS-gated SOI power devices, exhibiting the low on-state voltage drop as well as the excellent forward blocking capability at high temperature.

The polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (poly-Si TFT) are the most promising candidate for active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCD) for their high mobilities and current driving capabilities. The leakage current of the poly-Si TFT is much higher than that of the amorphous-Si TFT, thus larger storage capacitance is required which reduces the aperture ratio fur the pixel. The offset gated poly-Si TFTs have been widely investigated in order to reduce the leakage current. The conventional method for fabricating an offset device may require additional mask and photolithography process step, which is inapplicable for self-aligned source/drain ion implantation and rather cost inefficient. Due to mis-alignment, offset devices show asymmetric transfer characteristics as the source and drain are switched. We have proposed and fabricated a new offset poly-Si TFT by applying photoresist reflow process. The new method does not require an additional mask step and self-aligned ion implantation is applied, thus precise offset length can be defined and source/drain symmetric transfer characteristics are achieved.

We have investigated the anisotropic dispersion force effects for surfaces alignment of liquid crystals (LCs) on rubbed polystyrene (PS) surfaces by unidirection. In microphotographs an of the textures, we obtained the nematic (N) LCs are shown to align in both direction parallel and perpendicular to the rubbing for region up to medium rubbing, however to align in the direction perpendicular to the rubbing for strong rubbing region. We suggest that the anisotropic dispersion force is very important rather than macro-surface groove effect to uniform alignment of LCs. We also measured the temperature dependence of extrapolation length of 5CB on rubbed PS surfaces for strong rubbing. It is shown that the polar anchoring strength of 5CB is very weak on rubbed PS surface compared to the rubbed polyimide (PI) surface.

We have studied the static electricity and optical retardation generated by rubbing the surfaces of polyimide (PI) and polyamide (PA) films.

We also investigated how the differences in the rubbing fabric affects the magnitude of the induced static electricity; the order of this effect is nylon > rayon > cotton. The induced static electricity is not only directly related to the values of the specific resistivity of the rubbed PI films, but also the RS and the ability of the rubbing fabric to generate and add a static electric charge. The order of the optical retardation produced by the rubbing fabraic on rubbed PI films is nylon > rayon > cotton, coinciding with the order of the generated static electricity.

Generally, dielectric properties of EGL 10 are more unstable than those of EGL 40 on the shift of frequency and temperature.

The static charges are generated by streaming electrification phenomena when insulating oil flowing by force for the purpose of cooling at the internal of Ultra-high power transformer. In this thesis, their elimination method was studied. In this paper the effect of Additive on the electric conductivity of Insulating oil is studied.

Passivation must prevent ionic charge movement on the surface of the junction, thereby minimizing the junction leakage and maximizing the breakdown voltage of the devices. Borosilicate glasses are widely used as surface passivants for such silicon power devices as thyristors, transistor, and diodes. Since these 91asses are electrically stable at high temperatures and in high electric fields, they can readily be applied as a thick film, and they are resistant to humidity and have low ionic mobility.

(2) The magnetic properties($B_{10}$, $B_r$, $B_t/B_s$, $H_c$, $W_c$) of molding core drastically deteriorated. This is presumably due to the compressive stress imposed on amorphous core occurred during epoxy curing treatment. (3) Two step annealing process(curing+field annealing) was more or less effective to recover the damaged properties.

We investigated cyclic voltammetry, AC impedance response and charge/discharge cycling of PPy/SPE/Li cells as a function of temperature. The redox capacity of $PPy/CF_{3}SO_{3}$ film was the most large. The discharge capacity of PPy/SPE/Li cell with $PPy/CF_{3}SO_{3}$ film was higher than those of $PPy/ClO_{4}$ and $PPy/AsF_6$ films at all cycles. The energy density of PPy/SPE/Li cells during 1st cycle was 73, 90 and 101Wh/kg at $25^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The improvement of energy density is due to reduction of charge-transfer resistance associated doping-undoping process in PPy film with Increasing temperature. $PPy/CF_{3}SO_{3}$ film shows a good property on charge/discharge cycling in PEO-$LiClO_4$-PC-EC electrolyte.

This paper describes the thermally stimulated current(TSC) of PAAS spin coated film and the electrical properties of pre TSC measurement and after TSC test specimens. The TSC measurement were performed from room temperature to about $280^{\circ}C$ and the temperature was increased by $5^{\circ}C/min$ automatically. It shows that two peaks of TSC are observed at about $50^{\circ}C$ and about $160^{\circ}C$. Result of this measurement indicate that one peak; $50^{\circ}C$ is from alkyl group; other peak at $160^{\circ}C$ is due to alkyl and C-O group of PAAS. Addition to larger peak at about $160^{\circ}C$ is due to dipolemoment of PAAS film. This result is proved by DSC measurement of PAAS film. The electrical properties of pre and after TSC were measured by currant-voltage(l-V) characteristics. The current-voltage characteristics after TSC specimens are increased the conductivity. The electrical properties of pre-after TSC measurement specimen is in the middle of imidization of PAAS. Because of this result a thermal imidization was performed at $300^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour.

Surface impedance boundary condition(SIBC) concepts are introduced into the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method. Lossy conductors are replaced by surface impedance boundary computations reducing the soluton space and producing significant computational savings. Specifically, a surface impedance boundary condition is developed to reduce a lossy dielectric half-space. Since Maxwell's eqations are solved directly, the reflected and transmitted pulse amplitude demonstrate how the reflection and transmision coefficient determine reflected wave amplitude. In this paper, two implementations of reflection coefficient are presented. One implementation is a standard FDTD technique and the other is a FDTD using surface impedence boundary condition(FDTD-SIBC) that are applicabIe over a very large frequency bandwidth. Particulary, an efficient way to transform the time domain results to frequency domain is presented. Thus, frequency domain results are presented in one dimension and are compared with exact results.

In order to test the accuracy of the solution by using the present method, it is applied to obtain the scattered field by the dielectric sphere. The accuracy of the fields calculated by using the tetrahedral cell method is found to be comparable to that of others.

We overcome this difficulties by using edge clement for spurious solutions and the parallelized QMR method by the aid of Paralle Virtual Machine(PVM) for the memory and computation time.

In order to optimize the operational characteristics of single elliptical pulsed Nd:YAG laser designed and fabricator compactly, it is very important to design the resonator shape and the PFN(Pulse Forming Network) suitably. We have been shown that the EMTP(Electro-Magnetic Transient Program) simulation. was used effectively in designing PFN.

Md:YAG laser has been used in many applications such as micromachining, nonlinear optical experiments, holography, and rangefinding. These applications quite often require operation of the laser at the $TEM_{00}$ mode since this mode produces the smallest beam divergence, the highest power density, and, hence, the highest brightness. In this study, a pinhole is put between a rod and a half mirror to make the $TEM_{00}$ mode, and then we measured the intensity distribution of the output beam as reducing the diameter of the pinhole from 6mm to 1.5mm. As a result, the optimum size of the pinhole fixed in a resonator to make the $TEM_{00}$ mode was obtained, and we found out that the output beam of the pulsed Nd:YAG laser with a single elliptical cavity has a Gaussian distribution.

Non destructive and destructive tests were performed on two hydro-generators. The test results showed that the trend analysis of stator winding insulation was the better option.

In this paper, applicability of SI-PD(switching impulse - partial discharge) testing method was put on an attempt as a newly proposed diagnostic method for the underground distribution power cable system in Korea. For this purpose, SI-PD testing equipment was designed, and tests were performed using artificial needle-type defects integrated into the 22.9 kV CN/CV cables in drder to prove its reliability. As a result, arc noises, generated from spark gap, were considerably decreased by use of a pneumatic switch immersed into oil, and artificial needle-type defects were well detected with impulse voltage level under $2U_0$. These results imply that it is likely possible to apply SI-PD measurement method as a the nondistructive test for the 22.9 kV CN/CV cable system in Korea.

In order to evaluate the soundness of 10 year service-aged XLPE-insulated 22.9 kV underground distribution cables, semiconductive shields have been characterized. The edge of insulation near the insulation shield shows a drastic decrease of OIT. Impurities such as Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu were detected in both conductor and insulation shields. Their concentrations at the insulation shield are much higher than those at the strand shield. All these facts suggest that the edge of insulation near the insulation shield is degraded considerably, which might be attributed to the oxidation reaction of insulation by a large amount of impurities in the insulation shield.

For the rather complicated and time-consuming three-dimensional electric field calculation in the vicinity of substations, this paper proposes a numerical calculation method based on charge simulation method(CSM). In order to represent non-uniform charge distribution on an electrode better, it is subdivided into small segments with linear charge density. Non-uniform arrangement of subdivided segments makes it possible to obtain high accuracy with a small number of variables. As for the arrangement of subdivided segments, effective formulars were derived from multiple regression analysis of many simulations. These formulars make the arrangement of segments fast and effective. The proposed method is applied to the electric field calculation around the 345kV Sinmasan Substation busbars and the distribution of calculated electric fields is compared with that of the measured electric fields.

Grounding is the art of making an electrical connection to the earth. In order to protect man, electrical and/or electric equipments from the lightning strokes, all the energy of lightning strokes must be diverted via a safe path to earth. It is essential to the transient grounding resistance against lightning strokes. In this paper, measurements and analyses of grounding surge impedance have been investigated. For measurements of grounding surge impedance the pulse generator was designed and fabricated. The pulse generator has rise time of 22.4 ns and pulse duration of $8\;{\mu}s$. The transient grounding resistance has been measuring by injecting low power and step current between the earthing system under test and a remote reference earth and measuring the potential rise caused by this current. As a result, the transient grounding resistance against lightning surge in the short time domain is much higher than steady state grounding resistance.

This paper deals with the lightning surge protective devices with combination of varistor and LC filter. UP to now, the varistor alone were used as overvoltage protection devices fer the AC power mains. In this work, in order to improve the cutoff performance of surge protective device, the hybrid circuit surge protective device for an AC single phase mains was designed and investigated. The first stage of hybrid circuit is to remove most of any large surge energy and protect the second stage components. The purpose of the second is to protect the load and increase the cutoff capacity of surge protective devices. Also LC filter attenuates the remnant that travels downstream from the first stage component and the high frequency noises. As a consequence, it was found that the proposed hybrid surge protective device for AC power mains has a variety of advantages such as low and tight clamping voltage, high frequency noise reduction and large cutoff capacity.

With a progress of electrical and electronic technology, radio-frequency circuits including high frequency components are widely applied to various industrial installations. Some of them are used in hazardous locations where explosive or flammable gases exist. As a result, ignition of such gases may be induced by a spark discharge when the radio frequency circuits are switched on or off.

Some part of the route in KEPCO 765kV transmission line being constructed passes through a high mountain area which is 800m above the sea level (Taebaek, Sabuk area in Gangwon province). This area is the top part of Taebaek mountains corresponding to the backbone of korean peninsula and has lots of snow during the winter season because the winter seasonal wind gone up along the mountainside of Taebaek Mts. meets open air of the East sea. KEPCO has experienced 63 faults of T/L between 1968 and 1993 in this area, which is a very serious problem. Especially 154kV Hwang-Ji T/L fault in 1990, 2 was a unprecedented case which needs to be analyzed carefully to take proper measures. After reviewing ice and snow loading conditions and analyzing the fault of Hwang-Ji T/L, we're going to determine the revisement of ice and snow loading condition in this area to increase reliability of 765kV transmission line.

Wafers can be bonded at $135^{\circ}C$ with an applied voltage of $35V_{DC}$, which enables application of this technique to the vacuum packaging of microelectronic devices, because its bonding temperature and voltage are low. From the experimental results, we have found that the evaporated glass layer more than $1\;{\mu}$ m thick was suitable for anodic bonding. The role of sodium ions for anodic bonding was also investigated by theoretical bonding mechanism and experimental inspection.

A thermopneumatic micropump with two micronozzles has been fabricated and tested. The actuator consists of a p+ diaphragm and a pyrex glass on which a microheater is deposited. Two micronozzles are fabricated on either side of a single silicon wafer and behave as a dynamic passive valves. The actuator and the micronozzle are assembled to make a micropump. The center deflection of the actuator diaphragm to step voltage input has been measured. The dynamic test hag been performed by measuring the center deflection of the diaphragm under various input voltages and duty ratios. Also dynamic pumping test is performed. The measured built-up pressure between inlet and outlet of the micropump is 80 Pa for the actuation at 20V, 10 Hz.

We investigate a surface-micromachined polysilicon microgyroscope, whose resonant frequencies are electrostatically-tunable after fabrication. The microgyroscope with two oscillation nudes has been designed so that the resonant frequency in the sensing mode is higher than that in the actuating mode. The microgyroscope has been fabricated by a 4-mask surface-micrormachining process, including the deep RIE of a $6{\mu}m$-thick LPCVD polycrystalline silicon layer. The resonant frequency in the sensing mode has been lowered to that in actuating mode through the adjustment of an inter-plate bias voltage; thereby achieving a frequency matching at 5.8kHz under the bias voltage of 2V in a reduced pressure of 0.1torr. For an input angular rate of $50^{\circ}/sec$, an output signal of 20mV has been measured from the tuned microgyroscope under an AC drive voltage of 2V with a DC bias voltage of 3V.

In this paper various types of gyroscope fabricated by micromachining technologies were reviewed. Four common types of gyroscope reported in the past few years are beam, tuning fork, gimbal, and vibrating shell structure made by surface micromachining using sacrificial layer, bulk micromachining using RIE, or electroplating method. In the study of these new gyroscopes, the fabrication methods, advantages and disadvantages of each structure were examined as well as the direction of development in the future.

An electrostatically driven comb actuator with $525{\mu}m$ height was fabricated using (110) Si anisotropic etching in the Potassium Hydroxide(KOH) solution. The etch-rate and etch-rate ratio are strongly dependent on the weight % and temperature of KOH solution. We developed the optimal condition for the anisotropic etching on (110) wafer with varying these conditions. The force that the comb-drive actuator generates is inversely proportional to the distance of gap and proportional to the height of the comb electrodes. The electrodes must have the high aspect ratio. The (110) Si anisotropic etching is very useful to get a high aspect ratio structure.

Single-crystaIline silicon diaphgrams and features are fabricated without using an etch stop process. The process involves vertical dry etching, double-sided alignment, followed by wet-chemical etching from the back side. The abvantages of this process are that $5{\sim}50{\mu}m$ diaphgrams and features can be fabricated accurately and inexpensively. In addition, since no impurity-based process is introduced, highly uniform and homogenous properties can be achieved

In this paper, we have evaluated the physical characteristicsof the Pt/Cr bilayer, fabricated the micro hot plate by using the Pt/Cr bilayer and E-beam evaporated oxide as a passivation layer, and simulated the thermal distribution by using the commercial software FIDAP. From the researches the sheet resistance of Pt/Cr bilayer didn't be affected by the Cr layer thickness. This results was considered due to the Cr-oxide resided at the interface between Pt and Cr layer. After manufacturing the hot plate, we measured its temperature by type k thermo-couple and I.R. thermo-vision system. In those experiments, the emission coefficient( ${\varepsilon}$ ) of the E-beam evaporated oxide was 0.5 and the temperature of centural region was reached about $305\;^{\circ}C$ at 1.3 watts. The temperature simulation obtained by FIDAP commercial package stewed that the temperature of centural region was about $311\;^{\circ}C$ after 5 sec.

Shape memory alloy springs have been fabricated and annealed at $400^{\circ}C$, $450^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$ in atmosphere and in nitrogen gas. The optimal heat treatment condition in view of maximum generated force has been decided by the iso-thermal test with variation of annealing condition. Experimental results show that the heat treatment with high temperature in nitrogen gas is desirable for high generated force and can be used for the design of shape memory alloy springs.

In this work, we have grown or evaporated thermal oxide and E-beam oxide on the (100) oriented n-type silicon wafers, respectively and they were directly bonded with another silicon wafer after hydrophilization using solutions of three types of $HNO_3$, $H_{2}SO_{4}$ and $NH_{4}OH$. Changes of average surface roughness after hydrophilizations of the single crystalline silicon wafer, thermal oxide and E-beam evaporated silicon oxide were studied using atomic force microscope. Bonding interfaces of the bonded pairs were inspected using scanning electron microscope. Void and non-contact area of the bonded pairs were also inspected using infrared transmission microscope.

This paper presents the fabrication and testing of a polysilicon piezoresistive accelerometer with p+ silicon diaphragm by simple process such as two step photolithography for the RIE process to form the cantilevers and a deep anisotropic etch process for the complete fabrication of the accelerometer. The fabricated accelerometer consists of a seismic mass and four cantilevers on which polysilicon piezoresistors are formed. The measurement of the output signal from the bridge circuit of the fabricated accelerometer is carried out with the HP 3582A spectrum analyzer. The analysis of the experimental result is showed in terms of the sensitivity and the resonant frequency. At atmospheric condition, the measurement values of the sensitivity and the resonant frequency are $11\;{\mu}V/Vg$ and 475 Hz, respectively.

A strip-type bending actuator using perfluoro sulfonic acid film ($Nafion^{(R)}$ 117, Du Pont), which is a kind of conducting polymer, fabricated and characterized. Conducting polymer is a useful material as an actuator due to the simple structure, fabrication method and low driving voltage. Experimental results show that the fabricated bending actuator has about ${\pm}10^{\circ}$ of bending angle at 4 V and fast response, which means that the conducting polymer can be used practically as actuator material.

In this study, Allied Signal 211 SOG was used as a sacrificial material. After researching its etching properties, we adapted it to bottom-drive micrometers. SOG was superior etch rate and roughness to them of PSG or CVD-oxide and possible to low-temperature processing. Etching properties of SOG depended on the temperature and duration of its bake and cure. SOG used in the fabrication of bottom-drive micrometers showed us usefulness as a sacrificial layer and haying a least influence on machines on it in comparison with conventional sacrificial materials.

A thermally driven polysilicon micro actuator has been fabricated using surface micromachining techniques. It consists of P-doped polysilicon as a structural layer and TEOS (tetracthylorthosilicate) as a sacrificial layer. The polysilicon was annealed for the relaxation of residual stress which is the main cause to its deformation such as bending and buckling. And the newly developed HF VPE (vapor phase etching) process was also used as an effective release method for the elimination of sacrificial TEOS layer. The thickneas of polysilicon is $2{\mu}m$ and the lengths of active and passive polysilicon cantilevers are $500{\mu}m$ and $260{\mu}m$, respectively. The actuation is incurred by die thermal expansion due to the current flow in the active polysilicon cantilever, which motion is amplified by lever mechanism. The moving distance of polysilicon micro actuator was experimentally conformed as large as $21{\mu}m$ at the input voltage level of 10V and 50Hz square wave. The actuating characteristics are investigated by simulating the phenomena of heat transfer and thermal expansion in the polysilicon layer. The displacement of actuator is analyzed to be proportional to the square of input voltage. These micro actuator technology can be utilized for the fabrication of MEMS (microelectromechanical system) such as micro relay, which requires large displacement or contact force but relatively slow response.
