Metallic sandwich panels with pyramidal truss structures are high-stiffness and high-strength materials with low weight. In particular, bulk structures have enough space for additional multi-functionalities. In this work, in order to fabricate 3-D structures efficiently, Layered Manufacturing Method (LMM) which was composed of three steps, including crimping process, stacking process and bonding process using rapid infrared brazing, was proposed. The joining time was drastically reduced by employing infrared brazing of which heating rate and cooling rate were faster than those of conventional furnace brazing. By controlling the initial cooling rate slowly, the bonding strength was improved up to the level of strength by conventional vacuum brazing. The observation of infrared brazed specimens by optical microscope and SEM showed no defect on the joining sections. The experiments of 1-layered pyramidal structures and 2-layered pyramidal structures subject to 3-point bending were conducted to determine structural advantages of multilayered structures. From the results, the multi-layered structure has superior mechanical properties to the single-layered structure.

We present a novel profile stacking technique based on optimal profile decomposition of a 3D spectral line data cube, and its performance test using the HI data cubes of sample galaxies from HI galaxy surveys, THINGS and LITTLE THINGS. Compared to the previous approach which aligns all the spectra of a cube using their central velocities derived from either moment analysis, single Gaussian or hermite h3 polynomial fitting, the new method makes a profile decomposition of the profiles from which an optimal number of single Gaussian components is derived for each profile. The so-called superprofile which is derived by co-adding all the aligned profiles from which the other Gaussian models are subtracted is found to have weaker wings compared to the ones constructed in a typical manner. This could be due to the reduced number of asymmetric profiles in the new method. A practical test made on the HI data cubes of the THINGS and LITTLE THINGS galaxies shows that our new method can extract more mass of kinematically cold HI components in the galaxies than the previous results. Additionally, we fit a double Gaussian model to the superprofiles whose S/N is boosted, and quantify not only their profile shapes but derive the ratio of the Gaussian model parameters, such as the intensity ratio and velocity dispersion ratio of the narrower and broader Gaussian components. We discuss how the superprofile properties of the sample galaxies are correlated with their other physical properties, including star formation rate, stellar mass, metallicity, and gas mass.

In this paper, the small PIFA with dual bandwidth using LTCC is the proposed. The proposed PIFA is designed and fabricated for dual resonance bands (K-PCS and WiBro). It consists of two layers. The bottom layer shape PIFA has 120MHz bandwidth (1.727 ~ 1.847 GHz), it satisfied K-PCS. The top layer shape stacked element has 110MHz bandwidth (2.302 ~ 2.412 GHz), it satisfied WiBro. The top layer is stacked on the bottom layer for electric coupling. Maximum radiation gain of K-PCS, WiBro bands are 2.11 dBi, 3.71 dBi respectively. For miniaturization of the antenna structure, the PIFA using LTCC ( ${\varepsilon}_r\;=\;8$ ) chip is fabricated. The proposed PIFA shows the effect of SAR reduction also. A defect that is fabricated by stacking up the layers in the design of PIFA is complemented by fabricated in using LTCC chip.

The flow angle at the inlet and exit of a rotor or stator is an important design parameter involved in the design a fan blade. Flow angles along the radial direction for 3-D stacking are calculated using two kinds of vortex methods, i.e. free vortex method and forced vortex method. The performance test shows that a fan designed by the free vortex method is more efficient than a fan designed by the forced vortex method. As a reference, an imported fan is tested. Even though the straightner of the imported fan is used for the comparison test, the difference of efficiency between the imported fan and the fan designed by the free vortex method is negligible. The noise of the fan designed by the free vortex method is less than that of the imported fan. A bellmouth installed at the fan inlet improved the fan efficiency more than $10\%$.

메모리 소자의 수요가 데스크톱 컴퓨터의 정체와 모바일 기기의 폭발적인 증가로 NAND flash 메모리의 고집적화로 이어져서 3차원 집적 기술의 고도화가 중요한 요소가 되고 있다. 1 mm 정도의 얇은 웨이퍼 상에 만들어지는 메모리 소자는 실제 두께는 몇 마이크로미터 되지 않는다. 수직방향으로 여러 장의 웨이퍼를 연결하면 폭 방향으로 이미 거의 한계에 도달해있는 크기 축소(shrinking) 기술에 의지 하지 않고서도 메모리 소자의 용량을 증대 시킬 수 있다. CPU, AP등의 논리 연산 소자의 경우에는 발열 문제로 3D stacking 기술의 구현이 쉽지 않지만 메모리 소자의 경우에는 저 전력화를 통해서 실용화가 시작되었다. 스마트폰, 휴대용 보조 저장 매체(USB memory, SSD)등에 수 십 GB의 용량이 보편적인 현재, FEOL, BEOL 기술을 모두 가지고 있는 국내의 반도체 소자 업체들은 자연스럽게 TSV 기술과 이에 필요한 장비의 개발에 관심을 가지게 되었다. 특히 이 중 TSV용 스퍼터링 장치는 transistor의 main contact 공정에 전 세계 시장의 90% 이상을 점유하고 있는 글로벌 업체의 경우에도 완전히 만족스러운 장비를 공급하지는 못하고 있는 상태여서 연구 개발의 적절한 시기이다. 기본 개념은 일반적인 마그네트론 스퍼터링이 중성 입자를 타겟 표면에서 발생시키는데 이를 다시 추가적인 전력 공급으로 전자 - 중성 충돌로 인한 이온화 과정을 추가하고 여기서 발생된 타겟 이온들을 웨이퍼의 표면에 최대한 수직 방향으로 입사시키려는 노력이 핵심이다. 본 발표에서는 고전력 이온화 스퍼터링 시스템의 자기장 해석, 냉각 효율 해석, 멀티 모듈 회전 자석 음극에 대한 동역학적 분석 결과를 발표한다. 그림1에는 이중 회전 모듈에 대한 다물체 동역학 해석을 Adams s/w package로 해석하기 위하여 작성한 모델이고 그림2는 180도 회전한 서브 모듈의 위상이 음극 냉각에 미치는 효과를 CFD-ACE+로 유동 해석한 결과를 나타내고 있다.

A Compton camera, which is based on the geometrical interpretation of Compton scattering, is a very promising gamma-ray imaging device considering its several advantages over the conventional gamma-ray imaging devices: high imaging sensitivity, 3-D imaging capability from a fixed position, multi-tracing functionality, and almost no limitation in photon energy. In the present study, a Monte Carlo-based, user-friendly Compton imaging simulator was developed in the form of a graphical user interface (GUI) based on Geant4 and $MATLAB^{TM}$. The simulator was tested against the experimental result of the double-scattering Compton camera, which is under development at Hanyang University in Korea. The imaging resolution of the simulated Compton image well agreed with that of the measured image. The imaging sensitivity of the measured data was 2~3 times higher than that of the simulated data, which is due to the fact that the measured data contains the random coincidence events. The performance of a stacking-structure type Compton camera was evaluated by using the simulator. The result shows that the Compton camera shows its highest performance when it uses 4 layers of scatterer detectors.

The phase distribution in concrete materials strongly affects its material properties. It is important to identify the spatial distribution of void in concrete because the void in concrete materials affects mechanical behavior and permeability significantly. Therefore, a proper method to describe the void distribution of a material is needed. In this research, CT(computed tomography) is used to examine and to quantify the void distribution of porous concrete specimens. 3D concrete digital specimens are created by subsequent stacking of 2D cross-sectional images from CT. Then, probability distribution functions such as two-point correlation, lineal-path and two-point cluster functions are used for void distribution characterization. It is confirmed that probability distribution functions obtained from CT images are effective in characterizing void distributions including the anisotropy and percolation.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) has become one of the key processes in wafer level stacking technology for 3D stacked IC. In this study, two-step CMP process was proposed to polish $Cu/SiO_2$ hybrid bonding surface, that is, Cu CMP was followed by $SiO_2$ CMP to minimize Cu dishing. As a result, Cu dishing was reduced down to $100{\sim}200{\AA}$ after $SiO_2$ CMP and surface roughness was also improved. The bonding interface showed no noticeable dishing or interface line, implying high bonding strength.

High quality X-ray computed microtomography (micro-CT) imaging of internal microstructures and pore space in geomaterials is often hampered by some inherent noises embedded in the images. In this paper, we introduce image calibration techniques for removing the most common noises in X-ray micro-CT, cupping (brightness difference between the periphery and central regions) and ring artifacts (consecutive concentric circles emanating from the origin). The artifacts removal sequentially applies coordinate transformation, normalization, and low-pass filtering in 2D Fourier spectrum to raw CT-images. The applicability and performance of the techniques are showcased by describing extraction of 3D pore structures from micro-CT images of porous basalt using artifacts reductions, binarization, and volume stacking. Comparisions between calibrated and raw images indicate that the artifacts removal allows us to avoid the overestimation of porosity of imaged materials, and proper calibration of the artifacts plays a crucial role in using X-ray CT for geomaterials.
