The puncture properties under various conditions were investigated for the optimum conditions to yield the best properties. Fiber aspect ratio(AR: length of fiber/diameter of fiber), interphase condition and fiber content were considered as variables which impact the puncture force and friction force. The puncture force of short-fiber reinforced rubber increases up to 3.4 times compared to the virgin material. The better interphase condition shows the higher puncture force at given fiber AR and fiber content. The friction force of the matrix and reinforced rubber with a fiber AR below 155 does not exist. The friction force of the reinforced rubber with the good interphase condition and high fiber AR is higher than puncture force of matrix. Overall, it was found that the interphase condition, fiber AR and fiber content have an important effect on the puncture properties.

It is generally well known that the stratification of thermal energy in heat stores can be improved by increasing the aspect ratio (the height-to-width ratio) of the stores. Accordingly, it will be desirable to apply a high aspect ratio so as to demonstrate the good thermal performance of heat stores. However, as the aspect ratio of a store increases, the height of the store become larger compared to its width, which may be unfavorable for the structural stability of the store. Therefore, to determine an optimum aspect ratio of heat stores, a quantitative mechanical stability assessment should be performed in addition to thermal performance evaluations. In the present study, we numerically investigated the mechanical stability of silo-shaped rock caverns for underground thermal energy storage at different aspect ratios. The applied aspect ratios ranged from 1 to 6 and the mechanical stability was examined based on factor of safety using a shear strength reduction method. The results from the present study showed that the factor of safety of rock caverns tended to decrease with the increase in aspect ratio and the stress ratio of the surrounding rock mass was influential to the stability of the caverns. In addition, the numerical results demonstrated that under the same conditions of rock mass properties and aspect ratio, mechanical stability could be improved by the reduction in cavern size (storage volume), which indicates that one can design high-aspect-ratio rock caverns by dividing a single large cavern into multiple small caverns.

최근 고밀도 플라즈마(High Density Plasma, HDP)를 이용하여 STI (shallow trench Isolation) 공정에 사용하기 위한 높은 종횡비를 가지는 갭을 공극 없이 절연물질로 채우는 HDP CVD 법이 개발되어 사용되고 있으며, HDP 공정에서는 그 증착 과정 중에 스퍼터링(Sputtering)에 의한 식각이 동시에 발생하기 때문에 높은 종횡비를 가지는 갭을 공극 없이 채우는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 이러한 특성을 이용하여 HDP CVD 공정은 주로 STI 와 알루미늄 배선간의 갭을 실리콘 산화막 ($SiO_2$)의 절연막으로 채우는 데 주로 사용되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 새로 개발된 HDP CVD 법을 적용하여 300 mm Si 웨이퍼에 $SiO_2$ 절연막을 증착하여 웨이퍼의 중심과 가장자리의 deposition uniformity를 nano-indenter system을 이용하여 연구하였으며, 그 결과 300 mm 웨이퍼에서 균일한 탄성계수 값이 측정되었다. 또한 HDP CVD로 제작된 SiO2 박막의 탄성계수 값이 99 - 107 GPa로 측정되어 기존 PECVD-$SiO_2$ 박막보다 약 10 - 20% 향상된 것을 확인하였다.

In order to develop an integrated heat dissipating material and gas barrier film for electronics, new polymer was designed and synthesized for preparing composites containing hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) filler. Depending on the size and content of the hBN filler, both thermal conductivity and oxygen transmission rate can be adjusted. The composite achieved a high thermal conductivity of 28.0 W·m-1·K-1 at most and the oxygen transmission rate was decreased by 62% compared to that of the filler free matrix. Effective filler aspect ratios could be estimated by comparing thermal conductivity and oxygen transmission rate with values predicted by theoretical models. Discrepancy on the aspect ratios extracted from thermal conductivity and oxygen transmission rate comparisons was also discussed.

The FDS is one of the most used programs for fire analysis and needs an optimal grid selection for an accurate analysis. This study selected various grid aspect ratios (ARs) for selection of optimal grid and analyzed them with FDS v 6.1.2. A calculation time of 10 min. was used, which is enough to obtain the time average value of temperature changes. Temperature, visibility, and the time average value of mass balance are obtained from 200-600 s, which is a period of maintaining quasi-steady state. Two polyurethane fires of 1 [MW] and 2 [MW] in two enclosures of $10{\times}10{\times}3[m^3]$ and $20{\times}20{\times}3[m^3]$ were considered. Time variations of heat release rates, temperature, visibility, and mass balance were compared for ARs from 1-6. The heat release rates were accurate for all aspect ratios regardless of fire and enclosure sizes. The quasi-steady state temperature and visibility were well predicted for $AR{\leq}5$. Temperature drop and skewness of mass conservation, however, increased with increasing aspect ratio. Therefore, careful investigation of the grid size is recommended in performance-based design when $AR{\geq}3$, where temperature and visibility in early stage of a fire are important parameters. For accurate simulations of enclosure fires, grid sizes of 0.1~0.2 [m] and smaller in the vertical direction and $AR{\leq}2$ are recommended.

A near-normal-incidence ellipsometer (NNIE) is suggested as an optical critical dimension (OCD) measurement system that is highly sensitive to the bottom defect of a sample with high-aspect-ratio structured patterns. Incident light passes through a polarizer and a phase retarder in sequence, and the reflected light from the sample also passes through them, but in reverse order. The operating principle of this NNIE, where a single polarizer and a single phase retarder are shared by the incident and reflected light, is studied, and a method to determine the ellipsometric constants from the measured intensities at proper combinations of the azimuthal angles of polarizer and retarder is presented.

Dynamic earth pressure analysis is a key parameter in the seismic design of subterranean structures. However, existing solutions often lack a holistic approach, ignoring crucial elements like soil-structure interaction, the relative flexibility ratio (F) between the soil and a structure, the racking ratio (R) of a structure, and the structure aspect ratio (L/H). In this study, we conducted a thorough suite of dynamic numerical analyses on basements to understand how these factors influence seismic earth pressure. We found that structures with high aspect ratios and low flexibility were more susceptible to seismic pressure than those with lower aspect ratios and greater flexibility. Consequently, we recommend taking the aspect ratio and flexibility into account when estimating the seismic or dynamic earth pressure on basements and exercising caution when using traditional solutions proposed for retaining walls.

최근 trench capacitor, isolation trench, micro-electromechanical system(MEMS), micro-opto-electromechanical system(MOEMS)등의 다양한 기술에 적용될 고종횡비(HAR) 실리콘 식각기술연구가 진행되어 지고 있다. 이는 기존의 습식식각시 발생하는 결정방향에 따른 식각률의 차이에 관한 문제와 standard reactive ion etching(RIE) 에서의 낮은 종횡비와 식각률에 기인한 문제점들을 개선하기 위해 고밀도 플라즈마를 이용한 건식식각 장비를 사용하여 고종횡비(depth/width), 높은 식각률을 가지는 이방성 트랜치 구조를 얻는 것이다. 초기에는 주로 HBr chemistry를 이용한 연구가 진행되었는데 이는 식각률이 낮고 많은양의 식각부산물이 챔버와 시편에 재증착되는 문제가 발생하였다. 또한 SF6 chemistry의 사용을 통해 식각률의 향상은 가져왔지만 화학적 식각에 기인한 local bowing과 같은 이방성 식각의 문제점들로 인해 최근까지 CHF3, C2F6, C4F8, CF4등의 첨가가스를 이용하여 측벽에 Polymer layer의 식각보호막을 형성시켜 이방성 구조를 얻는 multi_step 공정이 일반화 되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 SF6 chemistry와 소량의 02/HBr의 첨가가스를 이용한 single_step 공정을 통해 공정의 간소화 및 식각 프로파일을 개선하여 최적의 HAR 실리콘 식각공정 조건을 확보하고자 하였다.

The puncture properties of short-fiber reinforced rubber were investigated as functions of fiber aspect ratio(AR: length of fiber/diameter of fiber), fiber content, specimen size and testing velocity. The puncture stresses of the matrix and short-fiber reinforced rubber decreased with specimen size, and increased with testing velocity at same specimen size. As the fiber AR increased the puncture stress at given fiber content also increased. The problem of the specimen shape was investigated by the comparison of the tensile strength with puncture stress. The forces acting in the membrane wall of the matrix and the short-fiber reinforced rubber showed a similar data regardless of specimen size. And those increased with testing velocity at same specimen size. As the fiber AR increased the force acting in the wall at given fiber content also increased. Overall, it was found that the specimen size, testing velocity had an important effects on the puncture properties.
