In this paper, we studied methods that measure chip stack height using slit beam in mold equipment among semiconductor manufacture equipments. We studied two methods to improve chip stack height measurement performance. First, it is relation of camera exposure time and height measurement repeatability. Second we could improve measurement performance applying method of least mean square method for measurement error minimization about PCB(Printed Circuit Board) flexure phenomenon.

This study evaluated the buildability and mechanical properties of 3DP concrete printed in air and underwater environments. Buildability was evaluated by green strength test on fresh concrete and height and deflection immediately and 1 hour after printing. The green compressive strength of the concrete was 5.0 kPa after 30 minutes and 7.9 kPa after 3 hours, an increase of 1.6 times the initial strength. The total height of the laminated parts met the design height regardless of the printing environment. The amount of deflection in air and under water 1 hour after printing was 1 mm and 0.2 mm, respectively, indicating a small amount of deflection under water. The apparent density of the sample appeared in the order of A-M > A-P > UW-P. This is believed to be because a large amount of air is mixed into the concrete during the printing process, and water infiltrates during the underwater printing process. The compressive strength ratio of UW-P/A-P was 0.86 at 1 day, but the compressive strength of the underwater printed concrete was high from 7 days.

Buildability of fresh concrete, a key element of Concrete 3D printing, is the ability to build filaments at a desirable height without excessive deformation or collapse. Buildability is closely related to yield stress, and the higher the yield stress, the better. Also, the shear stress of fresh concrete increases as it hardens over the time after extruded, and consequently the buildability increases. Therefore, in concrete 3D printing, proper time gaps between printed layers (Printing Time Gap, PTG) are required to ensure the buildability of fresh concrete. As the PTG increases, the buildability increases; however, an excessive PTG reduces the bond performance between the printed layers, and the extrudability can be lowered as the printing time increases. In this research, therefore, 3D printing experiments were conducted with the variable of PTG to examine the buildability of 100 MPa-high strength concrete. In addition, a pseudo-layer loading method was applied to simulate the buildability test for 3D concrete printing and its applicability was examined.

Models of the deposition heights in the uncontrolled laser aided direct metal deposition process are constructed for the enhancement of the process integrity. Linear and non-linear statistical models as well as fuzzy model are utilized as the modeling methods. The predictability of the models are evaluated with the values of the sum of square error. The algorithm to use the models in the feedback controlled system is suggested to increase the deposition height accuracy within a layer.

In this study, the lamination performance and strength characteristics of cement-based composite materials according to the laminated specimens manufacturing method were analyzed. As a result of evaluating the buildability according to the layer height, the highest dimensional stability was shown when the layer height was 10 mm in all parts. The mold casting specimen and the printing-Z specimen showed the same compressive strength performance at the age of 28 days. On the other hand, the compressive strength at 28 day of printing-X specimen was the lowest at 71.72 MPa, and 8% lower than that of the mold casting specimen and the printing-Z specimen. The split tensile strength of the laminated specimen may show similar performance to that of the mold casting specimen, but the strength performance may decrease by more than 10% depending on the direction of the layer and the number of layers in the specimen. As a result of the interface analysis of the laminated specimen through X-ray CT analysis, it was confirmed that pores of a certain size were distributed along the interface of the layer.

In this paper, we analyzed the effects by multi-stacking superstrates over the circular-polarized patch antenna. The previous works considered a single-layered superstrate or a superstrate with multiple layers, and did not almost consider the axial ratio at the performance analysis. First, the effect of center frequency shift is analyzed by the variation of air-gap height between patch antenna and superstrate. The center frequency is down-shifted at the smaller air-gap height and has almost the same frequency as patch antenna at the air-gap height of $005{\lambda}_0$. Second, the antenna performance is analyzed by multi-stacking superstrates with the air-gap height of $005{\lambda}_0$. As the number of multi-stacked superstrates increase, antenna gain has a linear increase and axial ratio is exponentially deteriorated. In addition, it has also been observed that the antenna performance has the same trend with the number of multi-stacked superstrates as the thickness of superstrate increases. Finally, we confirmed that it is possible to design the CP patch antenna with the scalable gain and less than 3dB axial ratio by stacking the superstrate.

Rapid prototyping was used to design and develop a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold for tissue engineering application. In this study, the nozzle guide (TB-CP-HN, MUSASHI ENGINEERING, INC., JAPAN) used with the syringe of the polymer deposition system (PDS) was evaluated by measuring the scaffold line width and height. 3D scaffolds were fabricated using a biodegradable polymer called poly-caprolactone (PCL). The PCL polymer can be deposited from the needle of a syringe using a 200-${\mu}m$ precision nozzle, at a pressure of 600 kPa and temperature of $125^{\circ}C$. The advantages and improvements in this nozzle guide were addressed through washer scaffold fabrication. Overall, this research indicated that the fabrication of a complex-shaped scaffold using an enhanced polymer deposition system may have potential for tissue engineering.

기존의 부유게이트를 이용한 플래시 메모리는 소자의 크기를 줄이는데 한계가 있기 때문에 이를 해결하기 위한 비휘발성 메모리 소자로 CTF가 큰 관심을 받고 있다. CTF 메모리 소자는 기존의 플래쉬 메모리 소자에 비해 쓰고 지우는 속도가 빠르고, 데이터의 저장 기간이 길며, 쓰고 지우는 동작에 의한 전계 스트레스에 잘 견뎌내는 장점을 가지고 있다. 최근 터널 장벽의 두께와 종류를 변화시킨 소자의 전기적 특성을 향상하기 위한 연구들은 많이 있었지만, 터널 장벽의 적층구조 변화에 대한 연구는 비교적 적다. 본 연구에서는 터널 장벽의 적층구조 변화에 따른 CTF 메모리 소자의 프로그램 동작 특성 변화에 대해 관찰하였다. 기존의 단일 산화막 (silicon oxide; O) 대신 산화막과 higk-k 물질인 질화막 (silicon nitride; N)을 조합하여 ON, NON, ONO로 터널 장벽의 여러 가지 적층 구조를 가진 소자를 설계하여 각 소자의 프로그램 동작 특성을 조사하였다. CTF 메모리 소자의 프로그램 동작 특성을 거리와 시간에 따른 연속방정식, Shockley-Read-Hall 유사 트랩 포획 방정식 및 푸아송 방정식을 유한차분법을 사용하여 수치해석으로 분석하였다. WKB 근사를 이용하여 인가된 전계의 크기에 따라 터널링 현상에 의해 트랩층으로 주입하는 전자의 양을 계산하였다. 또한, 터널 장벽의 적층구조 변화에 따른 트랩층의 전도대역과 트랩층 내부에 분포하는 전자의 양을 시간에 따라 계산하였다. 계산 결과에서 터널 장벽의 적층구조 변화가 CTF 메모리 소자의 프로그램 동작 특성에 미치는 영향을 알 수 있었다. 소자의 프로그램 동작 특성을 분석함으로써 CTF 메모리 소자에 적합한 터널 장벽의 구조를 알 수 있었다. 기존의 단일 산화막보다 얇아진 산화막의 두께와 낮은 질화막의 에너지 장벽 높이로 전자의 터널링 현상이 더 쉽게 일어나기 때문에 ON 구조로 터널 장벽을 적층한 CTF 메모리 소자의 프로그램 속도가 가장 빠르게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 터널 장벽의 구조적 변화가 전자의 터널 효과에 미치는 영향을 이해하고 프로그램 동작 속도가 빠른 CTF 메모리 소자의 최적화에 도움을 줄 수 있다.

A high-gain circularly-polarized patch antenna with a double-layered superstrate is proposed operating at a wireless LAN frequency. A superstrate has an array of metallic periodic unit cells and is located above the patch antenna with an air-gap. The designed antenna has a high gain of over 9.59dBi, which is the gain enhancement of 6.48dB compared to the patch antenna without superstrate. And it has a low axial ratio of under 3dB, so that it maintains the circular polarization of the patch antenna. The optimum air-gap height at the superstrate of $4{\times}4$ arrays is 25mm, which is equivalent to about $0.2{\lambda}$ at the frequency of 2.45GHz. We confirmed that the double-layered stacking of a superstrate increases the effective aperture size and hence it leads to enhance a gain of the patch antenna.
