We have studied a method to design and fabricate the Intermediate Frequency(IF) band pass filter with low shape factor which is used for CDMA base station on the 35°Y-cut X-propagation Quartz substrate. In order to fabricate a device of the low shape factor for the IF SAW filter on this substrate, we employed apodization weighted type interdigital transducer(IDT) as an input and withdrawal weighted type IDT as an output by using impulse modelling method. Also, using the Kaiser-Bessel window function, we have adopted 2200pairs and 1000pairs of input and oueut IDT respectively to minimize the effect of ripple. Furthermore, the width and the space of IDT finger are 3.6 ㎛ and 3.5 ㎛ respectively. Thus, we can have optimal results when the IDT thickness is 6000Å in consideration of the ratio of SAW's wavelength while it's aperture is 2mm for impedance matching. The fabricated SAW filter for CDMA had the property of almost 115.2MHz of a center frequency, less then 1.27MHz of bandwidth, less than 1.3 of shape factor, - l5dB of out band attenuation insertion loss and -45dB of rejection band.

최근의 전자부품은 고밀도 고집적화 됨에 따라 여러 가지 문제점들이 발생되고 있다. 그 중 부품이 실장되는 부분에 사용되는 솔더나 전기적 회로를 구성하는 패턴간에 금속 이온 마이그레이션(Metallic Ion Migration)이 발생하여 전기적 단락(Short)를 유발함으로써 전자제품의 치명적 고장을 유발한다. 본 연구는 이온 마이그레이션 현상을 물방울시험(Water Drop Test)을 통하여 재현함으로써 발생 메카니즘을 확인하여 발생원인을 직접적으로 관찰하고, 각 종 패턴의 거리 및 전압에 따른 발생속도의 차이를 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 이러한 실험을 위하여 콤 패턴(Comb Pattern)의 FR-4 재질 인쇄회로기판(PCB : Printed Circuit Board)을 사용하였으며, 사용된 전극재질로는 Cu, SnPb, Au를 사용하였고, 패턴간 거리는 0.5, 1.0, 2.0mm의 3가지 종류로 구분하였다. 또한 패턴간에 인간 된 전압은 6.5V, 15V를 인가한 후 마이그레이션이 발생되는 시간을 측정하였다. 이러한 실험으로부터 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (1) 6.5V의 인가전압에서는 Cu 패턴이 대체적으로 가장 빠르게 마이그레이션이 발생하였으며, 다음으로 Au가 발생하였고, Cu와 SnPb의 발생시간은 대체적으로 근사한 값을 나타내었다. 이것은 비슷한 평형전위를 갖는 재료는 마이그레이션 발생시간이 유사하게 나타나며, 높은 (+)전위를 갖을수록 발생시간이 지연됨을 알 수 있다. (2) 15V를 인가하였을 때 패턴간격이 0.5mm인 경우 Cu, Au, SnPb의 순으로 나타났으며, 1.0mm는 SnPb, Cu, Au, 2.0mm인 경우는 SnPb, Au, Cu의 순으로 마이그레이션이 발생하였다. 인가전압이 높은 경우 초기 발생에는 큰 차이가 없지만 수지상이 발생 후 성장하는데 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다. 이것은 초기 수지상의 형성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 재료의 평형전위에 의한 값이 좌우하지만, 수지상이 일정길이 이상 형성된 이후에는 성장속도가 평형전위에 따른 값과는 다소 다르게 나타남을 알 수 있다.

탄소나노튜브는 지금까지의 많은 연구를 통해 다양한 분야에 대한 응용 가능성이 확인되었으며, 그 중에서도 특히 탄소나노튜브를 이용한 전계방출표시소자(carbon nanotube field emission display, CNT-FED)는 상용화를 눈앞에 두고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 탄소나 노튜브를 합성할 수 있는 여러 가지 방법 중에서 열화학기상증착법(thermal chemical vapor deposition, thermal CVD)을 이용하여 유리기판 위에 탄소나노튜브를 합성하였다. Electron beam evaporation으로 유리기판 위에 전극층으로 Cr을 150nm를 증착하고 연속하여 촉매층인 Invar(Fe-53%Ni-6%Co 합금)를 10nm의 두께로 형성하였다. 사진식각으로 Cr층을 line 패턴한 후 Cr line 내의 Invar층을 line 및 dot 패턴하였다. 나노튜브 합성을 위해 480-58$0^{\circ}C$까지 진공분위기 또는 질소 분위기에서 20분간 승온한 후 CO(150sccm)와 H$_2$(1200sccm)를 주입하여 20분간 성장시키고 질소 분위기에서 냉각시켰다. 성장된 탄소나노튜브는 SEM, TEM, Raman spectroscopy 등을 통하여 구조 및 형상분석을 하였다. 진공승온의 경우 탄소불순물인 a-C이 많은 양 증착 되었으며 탄소나노튜브는 온도에 따라 1-5$\mu\textrm{m}$의 두께로 성장하였으나, 질소분위기 승온의 경우는 a-C이 거의 증착되지 않았으며 나노튜브의 두께가 10-20$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 본 연구에서는 diode구조를 갖는 탄소나노튜브 에미터의 수명예측을 위해 여러 가지 가속측정조건에서 전계방출 특성을 연구하였다. Anode와 cathode 간의 간격을 400$\mu\textrm{m}$로 유지한 diode 구조에 대해 $10^{-6}$ torr 이하의 진공에서 전계방출을 측정하였다. 100 line의 에미터를 60Hz의 주파수에서 1/100 duty로 구동하였으며, duty비 증가에 따라 pulse의 on-time을 고정하고 frequency를 변화시켰다. dc까지 duty비가 증가됨에 따라 방출전류의 양이 선형적으로 증가하였다. 전압을 일정하게 고정시키고 각 duty비에서 시간에 따라 방출전류를 측정한 결과 duty비가 높을수록 방출전류가 시간에 따라 급격히 감소하였다. 각 duty비에서 방출전류의 양이 1/2로 감소하는 시점을 에미터의 수명으로 볼 때 duty비 대 에미터 수명관계를 구해 높은 duty비에서 전계방출을 시킴으로써 실제의 구동조건인 낮은 duty비에서의 수명을 단시간에 예측할 수 있었다.

일반적으로 AC PDP는 Xe+Ne이 동작가스로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 Xe 분압을 50, 60, 80, 100 Torr로 고정한 상태에서 전체 가스압력을 변화시키고 Short 방전 갭으로 $80{\mu}m$를, Long 방전 갭으로 $180{\mu}m$ 적용함으로써 나타나는 AC-PDP의 방전특성을 분석하였다. 여기에 Xe 분압을 Short 방전 갭에서는 80, 100 Torr로, Long 방전 갭에서는 50, 60, 80 Torr로 각각 고정하고, Ne 압력을 변화시킴에 따라 나타나는 방전개시전압, 소비전력, 휘도, 발광효율을 측정하여 높은 휘도와 효율을 가지면서 방전개시전압을 최대한 낮출 수 있는 적정 조합을 연구하였다. 실험결과, Short 방전 갭 패널은 소비전력이 26% 낮았고, Long 방전 갭 패널은 휘도가 45% 높았다. 휘도, 소비전력 등 여러 가지 측면을 고려하였을 때, 방전개시전압이 가장 낮은 Short 방전 갭, Xe 절대분압 80 Torr, Xe 35%(Xe+Ne=286 Torr)에서의 방전 특성이 가장 우수하였다.

This study was done to find out the formation mechanism of chlorate by electrochemical process using chloride ion ($Cl^-$) as an electrolyte. Firstly, the effective factors such as pH and initial chloride concentration were figured out to see the formation property of chlorate during electrolysis. And the relation of free chlorine, and mixed oxidants such as OH radical and ozone with chlorate were estimated to concretize the formation mechanism. As a result, it was found that the major reaction of chlorate formation would be electrochemical reaction with free chlorine, and also the direct oxidation of chloride ion and the reaction by OH radical were participated in the formation of chlorate. Moreover, it was observed that formed chlorate was oxidized to perchlorate. Lastly, the optimum condition was recommended by comparing free chlorine with chlorate concentration during the electrochemical process with the different electrode separation.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of stimulation intensity and inter-electrode distance on the parameters of the measured sensory nerve signal. 30 healthy subjects participated in this study. Sensory nerve signals were elicited by four different pulse amplitudes, i.e., 3, 6, 9, 12 mA, with the pulse width fixed at $500{\mu}s$. The sensory nerve signals elicited by the four different pulse amplitudes were measured by four different inter-electrode distances (20, 30, 40, and 50 mm). We extracted four parameters (pulse amplitude, pulse width, pulse area, and latency time from stimulation) from the sensory nerve signals. The measured pulse amplitude and pulse width were increased when the measuring inter-electrode distance was increased while the stimulating pulse amplitude was fixed. The measured pulse amplitude was saturated with the stimulating pulse amplitudes of over 6 mA while measuring inter-electrode distance. Under the same condition, measured pulse width was increased, and sensory nerve signal was initiated early. Sensory nerve signals, specially those of pulse amplitude, were distorted by a differential amplification method that commonly measures the human body signal. The experimental results indicate that the differential amplification method is required to be replaced when measuring nerve signals. Our observations suggested that the hyperpolarization of the action potential of the sensory nerve signal for preventing distortion could be used to clarify the correlation between the parameters of the sensory nerve signals and quantification of sensations.

The front metal contact is one of the most important element influences in efficiency in the silicon solar cell. First of all selective of the material and formation method is important in metal contacts. Commercial solar cells with screen-printed contacts formed by using Ag paste process is simple relatively and mass production is easy. But it suffer from a low fill factor and a high shading loss because of high contact resistance. Besides Ag paste too expensive. because of depends income. This paper applied for Ni/Cu metallization replace for paste of screen printing front metal contact. Low cost Ni and Cu metal contacts have been formed by using electroless plating and electroplating techniques to replace the screen-printed Ag contacts. Ni has been proposed as a suitable silicide for the salicidation process and is expected to replace conventional silicides. Copper is a promising material for the electrical contacts in solar cells in terms of conductivity and cost. In experiments Ni/Cu metal contact applied same grid formation of screen-printed solar cell. And it has variation of different grid spacing. It was verified that the wide spacing of grid finger could increase the series resistance also the narrow spacing of grid finger also implies a grid with a higher density of grid fingers. Through different grid spacing found alteration of efficiency.
