Adhesion strength of polyurethane adhesive for laminated metal plate was investigated. Also, the effect of laminating conditions on the adhesion strength was understood by measuring peel strength as a function of adhesion temperature and time. The amount of isocyanate appearing due to the unblocking of oxime in polyurethane adhesive affected the strength of adhesion with hydroxyl on the metal plate or aluminum foil and it was controlled by adhesion temperature and time. However, the excess of temperature and time in laminating process caused the lowering of adhesion strength because of the decrease of solvent content as well as thermal degradation of the adhesive.

Growth characteristics and microstructure of AlN thin films grown by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy on Si substrates have been investigated. Growing temperature and substrate orientation were chosen as major variables of the experiment. Reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy/diffraction (TEM/TED) techniques were employed to characterize the microstructure of the films. On Si(100) substrates, AlN thin films were grown along the hexagonal c-axis preferred orientation at temperature range 850-90$0^{\circ}C$. However on Si(111), the AlN films were epitaxially grown with directional coherency in AlN(0001)/Si(111), AlN(1100)/Si(110), and AlN(1120)/Si(112) at 85$0^{\circ}C$ and the epitaxial coherencry seemed to be slightly distorted with increasing temperature. The microstructure of AlN thin films on Si(111) substrates showed that the films include a lot of crystal defects and there exist micro-gaps among the columns.

An alumina membrane with nano-sized pore array by anodic oxidation using thin film aluminum deposited on silicon wafer was fabricated. It is important that the sample prepared by metal deposition method has a flat aluminum surface and a good adhesion between the silicon wafer and the thin film aluminum. The oxidation time was controlled by observation of current variation. While the oxalic acid with 0.2M was used for low voltage anodization under 100V, the chromic acid with 0.1M was used for high voltage anodization over 100V. The nano-sized pores with diameter of 60~120nm was obtained by low voltage anodization of 40~90V and those of 200~300nm was obtained by high voltage anodization of 120~160V. Finally, the sample was immersed to the phosphoric acid with 0.1M concentration to etching the barrier layer. The sample will be applied to electronic sensors, field emission display, and template for nano-structure.

Aluminum alloy is a material widely used in the aircraft industry. However, since it has relatively low hardness, strength and tribological properties, it is necessary to improve these properties. In this paper, a TiN thin film was coated on the surface of AL7075-T7351 using DC magnetron sputtering. The coating was performed by setting different deposition pressure, deposition time, and applied power. Then, the tribological properties of the thin film were investigated. As a result of the experiment, the hardness of the thin film was higher than that of the base material, and the specimen with the highest hardness had excellent friction coefficient, wear amount, and adhesive strength characteristics. Through this study, it was confirmed that the tribological characteristics of aluminum alloy can be improved by depositing thin films using DC magnetron sputtering.

본 논문에서는 용액 공정을 이용한 고분자 절연층을 갖는 top-gate 구조의 펜타센 박막 트랜지스터(Thin Film Transistor, TFT)의 특성을 연구하였다. Top-gate 구조의 펜타센 TFT 제작에 앞서 유기 반도체인 펜타센의 결정성 성장을 돕기 위해서 가교된 PVP (cross-linked poly(4-vinylphenol))를 유리 기판 상에 스핀 코팅을 이용하여 형성한 후, 노광 공정을 통해 니켈/은 구조를 갖는 채널 길이 $10{\mu}m$의 소오스, 드레인 전극을 형성하였다. 그리고 열 증착을 이용하여 60 nm 두께의 펜타센 층을 성막하였고, 고분자 절연체로서 PVA(polyvinyl alchol) 또는 가교된 PVA를 용액공정인 스핀 코팅을 이용하여 형성한 후 열 증착으로 알루미늄 게이트 전극을 성막하였다. 이로써 제작된 소자들의 전기적 특성을 확인한 결과 가교된 PVA를 사용한 펜타센 TFT 보다 PVA를 게이트 절연체로 사용한 소자가 전기적 특성이 우수한 것으로 관찰되었다. 이는 PVA의 가교 공정에 의한 펜타센 박막의 성능 퇴화에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. 실험 결과 $0.9{\mu}m$ 두께의 PVA 게이트 절연막을 사용한 top-gate 구조의 펜타센 TFT의 전계 효과 이동도와 문턱전압, 그리고 전류 점멸비는 각각, 약 $3.9{\times}10^{-3}\;cm^2/Vs$, -11.5 V, $3{\times}10^5$으로써 본 연구에서 제안된 소자가 용액 공정형 top-gate 유기 TFT 소자로서 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

We fabricated a planar ultra-violet photodetector whose ohmic and schottky contacts were respectively formed with evaporated Al and Pt on the GaN layer. To examine the applicability of the device to the UV sensor, we investigated its electrical and optical characteristics. The GaN layer on the sapphire waver had $7.8{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$ of doping concentnation and the $138 cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ of electron mobility and it absorbed the spectrum of the light below 325 nm wavelength. It had the responsivity of 2.8 A/W of at 325 nm, and the signal to noise ratio(SNR) of $4{\times}10^4$, and the noise equivalent power(NEP) of $3.5{\times}10^9$W under 5 V reverse bias. These results confirmed that the GaN schottky diode had a solar blind properly when it was applied to the UV photodetector.

Organic light emitting devices from a single layer thin film with a hole transport polymer, poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) doped with 2-(4-bi phenyl)-5-(4-t-butyl-phenyl) -1,3,4-oxadiazole (Bu-PBD) as electron transporting molecules and Coumurine 6(C6), 1,1,4,4-tetraphenyl-1,3-butadiene (TPB), Rhodamine B as a emitter dye were fabricated. The sing1e layer structure and the use of soluble materials simplify the fabrication of devices by spin coating technique. The active layer consists of one polymer layer that is simply sandwiched between two electrodes, indium-tin oxide (ITO), and aluminum. In this structure, electron and hole inject from the electrodes to the PVK : Bu-PBD active layer. Respectively, Blue, green and orange colored emission spectrum by the use of TPB, C6, Rhodamine B dye emitted at 481nm, 500nm and 585nm were achieved during applied voltages. PVK materials can be useful as the host polymer to be molecularly doped with other organic dyes of the different luminescence colors. And EL color can be tuned to the full visible wavelength.

In this study, capacitive type pressure sensors based on low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) technology for environmental monitoring were demonstrated. The LTCC is one of promising technology than is based one since it has many advantages (e.g., low cost production, high manufacturing yields and easy realizing 3D structure etc.) for sensor application. Especially, it has good mechanical and chemical properties for robust environmental application. The 3D LTCC diaphragm with thickness of 400 ${\mu}m$ were fabricated by laminating 4 green sheets using commercial powder (NEG, MLS 22C). To evaluate the sensing properties of the different cavity areas, two types of diaphragm which had different cavity areas with 25, 49 $mm^2$ respectively, were fabricated. To realize capacitive type pressure sensor, the Au top electrode was fabricated using thermal evaporator and the bottome electrode was compressed using aluminium foil. The sensing properties of the fabricated sensors showed linear characteristic under different pressure (0~30 psi) using pressure measurement system.

최근, 집적 소자의 미세화에 따라 늘어난 배선 신호 지연 및 상호 간섭, 그리고 소비 전력의 증가는 초고집적 소자 성능 개선에 한계를 가져온다. 이에 따라 기존의 알루미늄(Al)/실리콘 절연 산화막은 구리(Cu)/저유전율 박막(low-k)으로 대체되고 있고, 이는 소자 성능 개선에 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러나 Cu는 Si과 low-k 내부로 확산이 빠르게 일어나 소자의 비저항을 높이고, 누설 전류를 일으키는 등 소자의 성능을 저하시킬 수 있는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 Cu의 확산을 막기 위하여 Ta, TaN 등과 같은 확산방지막에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔으나, 배선 공정의 집적화와 low-k 대체에 따른 공정 및 신뢰성 문제로 인해 새로운 확산방지막의 개발이 필요하게 되었다. 이를 위해, 본 연구에서는 Cu-V 합금을 사용하여 low-k 기판 위에 확산방지막을 자가 형성 시키는 공정에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 다양한 low-k 기판에서 열처리조건에 따른 Cu-V 합금의 특성을 확인하기 위해 4-point probe를 통한 비저항 평가와 XRD (X-ray diffraction) 분석이 이뤄졌다. 또한, TEM (transmission electron microscope)을 이용하여 $300^{\circ}C$에서 1 시간 동안 열처리를 거쳐 자가형성된 V-based interlayer가 low-k와 Cu의 계면에서 균일하게 형성된 것을 확인하였다. 형성된 V-based interlayer의 barrier 특성을 평가하고자 Cu-V합금/low-k/Si 구조와 Cu/low-k/Si 구조의 leakage current를 비교 분석하였다. Cu/low-k/Si 구조는 비교적 낮은 온도에서 leakage current가 급격히 증가하는 양상을 보였으나, Cu-V 합금/low-k/Si 구조는 $550^{\circ}C$의 thermal stress 에서도 leakage current의 변화가 거의 없었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 열처리를 통해 자가형성된 V-based interlayer의 Cu/low-k 간 확산방지막으로서 가능성을 검증하였다.
