In this research, we intended to improve the tolerance of thick film resistor using photosensitive polymer resistor paste which was fabricated with alkali-solution developable photosensitive resin and conductive carbon black. At first, we investigated the effect of the selection of carbon black and photosensitive resin on the resistance range and tolerance level of polymer thick film resistor (PTFR). And then, a difference in resistance tolerance was evaluated according to the coating methods of photosensitive resistor paste on test board. In case that the photosensitive resistor paste was coated on whole surface of test board using screen printing, large positional tolerance was obtained because the formation of the thick film with uniform thickness was difficult. On the other hand, when the paste was coated with roller, the resistive thick film with uniform thickness was formed on the whole board area and the result of resistance evaluation showed low tolerance in ${\pm}10%$ range. The tolerance of PTFR could be improved by combination of the precise patterning using photo-process and the coating process for the resistive thick film with uniform thickness.

Magnetic field is commonly used in low temperature processing plasmas to enhance the performance of the plasma reactors. E$\times$B magnetron or surface multipole configuration is the most popular. However, the properties of capacitively coupled rf plasma confined by axial static magnetic field have rarely been studied. With these background, the effect of magnetic field on the characteristics of capacitively coupled 13.56 MHz/40 KHz argon plasma was studied, Ion saturation current, electron temperature and plasma potential were measured by Langmuir probe and emissive probe. At low pressure region (~10 mTorr), ion current increases by a factor of 3-4 due to reduction of diffusion loss of charged particles to the wall. Electron temperature slightly increases with magnetic field for 13.56 MHz discharge. However, for 40 KHz discharge, electron temperature decreased from 1.8 eV to 0.8 eV with magnetic field. It was observed that the magnetic field induces large temporal variation of the plasma potential. Particle in cell simulation was performed to examine the behaviors of the space potential. Experimental and simulation results agreed qualitatively.

Phenolic resin used as a precursor of carbonized matrix for carbon-carbon composites was modified by addition of molybdenum disilicide (MoSi$_2$) in various concentrations of 0, 4, 12 and 20% by weight to improve the anti-oxidation properties of the composites. The green body was manufactured by a prepreg method and was submitted to carbonization up to 110$0^{\circ}C$. In this work, the oxidation behavior of carbon-carbon composites with MoSi$_2$ as an oxidation inhibitor was investigated at the temperature range of 600-100$0^{\circ}C$ in an air environment. The carbon-carbon composites with MoSi$_2$ showed a significantly improved oxidation resistance due to both the reduction of the porosity formation and the formation of mobile diffusion barrier for oxygen when compared to those without MoSi$_2$. Carbon active sites should be blocked, decreasing the oxidation rate of carbon. This is probably due to the effect of the inherent MoSi$_2$ properties, resulted from a formation of the protective layer against oxygen attack in the composites studied.

With use of (G)MR head, thermal asperity (TA) has been a big concern in drive industry. In this study, we investigated several factors of heads and disks which affects the TA sensitivity of the drive. TA experiments were conducted by introducing the particles on the drives using a particle injection chamber. It was found that the slider ABS shape can help to reduce TA or contamination in the head/media interface. However, TA sensitivity of the drive mainly depend on the intrinsic property of (G)MR sensor. GMR head is much less sensitive to TA compared with MR head. However, in case that the same bias current was applied for both of MR and GMR head, TA sensitivity of GMR head became almost identical to that of MR head. Therefore it was found that the bias current is a dominant factor in determining TA sensitivity of the head. TA sensitivity of different types of disks was also studied. The scratch resistance of the carbon overcoat layer is the one of the main factors which influence TA rejection capability of the disks.

Development of novel conducting polymers (CPs) is expected to facilitate the advancement of functional materials used for energy, environmental, and nanotechnology. Recent research efforts are focused on doping CPs with functional dopants to enhance their performance or add additional functions that are not inherent in CPs. This review surveys literatures about the doped CPs focusing on the roles of functional dopants, unlike other reviews focusing on the development of new conducting polymer backbones. The functional dopants presented in this review include redox active molecules, carbon nanomaterials, biopolymers, and chelating molecules. Depending on the dopants and their physicochemical properties, the doped CPs can be used for a variety of applications such as polymer batteries, membranes for waste water treatment, and chemical sensors. A major challenge of the CPs is presented and the ways to overcome the challenge is also suggested for the future development of stable, high performance CPs.

We proposed an MEA development methodology that accurately measures intrinsic MEA performance while considering the uneven reaction environments formed inside a large-area BP. To facilitate measurement of the inherent MEA performance, we miniaturized the active area of the MEA to 3 cm², and prepared two MEAs with different ionomer contents of 0.65 and 0.80 (I/C). By simulating the operating conditions of a 100 cm² BP at the inlet (I), center (C), and outlet (O), the oxygen concentration and relative humidity were determined to be 20.7, 13.8, 11.7%, and 50, 66.1, and 70.1% respectively. We measured the performance and electrochemical analysis of the prepared MEAs under the three simulated conditions. Based on the results of statistical analysis of the evaluated MEA performance data, I/C 0.65 MEA had a higher average performance and lower performance deviation than I/C 0.80 MEA. Hence, it can be concluded that an I/C 0.65 MEA is a more effective MEA for large-area BP. Based on the above research process, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed MEA development methodology.
