Considering risks and artificial enrichments of metals in the soils of the study area, the study aims to analyze geology, grain size and geochemistry. Geology is mainly composed of gneisses and phyllites of metamorphic rocks, sandstones, siltstones, shales, tuffs of sedimentary ones and granites and andesites of igneous ones in the area. In the area, mean contents of metals are not meaningful in accordance with petrogenesis. The soil textures of the area are of S, lS and sL of sandy soil, L, scL, cL of loam and C, zC and sC of clayey soil. Mean contents of Ni, Cr, Co and Cu are meaningfully high in loam and clayey soil relative to sandy soil, whereas Ni, Zn, Cd contents are higher in clayey soil than in loam. Those differences imply the metallic contents are dependent to grain size. Based on the metal contents in the soils of the study area, Cu and Zn in loams and Pb in sandy soils are corresponded to soil contamination warning standards, and As showing 75mg/kg of maximum content in loams is assigned to soil contamination countermeasure standards, respectively. Artificial enrichment factor minimized wall rock and grain size relations is over 1 in Cr, Ni and Cu, but the factor is below 1 in average of other metals.

To investigate distribution characteristics of heavy metals in soils in the vicinity of King Sejong Station of King George Island, Antarctica, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb, Co, Cd, Cr, Ni and Mo contents were investigated under different distances and directions from King Sejong Station. 13 sample sites were distributed from King Sejong Station. In site 4, the Cd content was higher than that in other sites. The Cr content was the highest in site 9, and the Ni and Mn contents were high in site 12. Cu, Co and Zn were highly contained in distance 1~2 km from King Sejong Station. Cd, Cr, Ni and Mo contents were lower, whereas Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb and Co contents were higher than other heavy metal contents at all sites.

$Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{x}$ was prepared by the conventional method of solid state reaction and SHS method. The samples were annealed in different atmosphere in order to examine the influence of atmospheres on the carbon contents in the $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{x}$ compound. The lowest carbon content in $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{x}$ could be attended when the sample was annealed in $O_{2}$ at $800^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours. The $CO_{2}$ in air pollute the samples and increase the carbon content in the sintering process. The critical current density of the $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{x}$ samples will decrease with the increasing carbon contents in the samples. The impurity carbon will deposit in the grain boundary, which makes critical current density lower.

The effects of Ni contents in Cu base sintered friction material were studied. The contents of Ni were increased up to 9 wt% in the Cu-Sn matrix. The microstincture and tribological behavior of the friction material were examined. Pin on disk type of constant speed friction test rig were used to measure the friction and the wear rates. The results show that Ni addition increased the friction coefficients and decreased the wear rates of the materials. Relations between microhardness of the matrix and friction properties have been discussed. In addition optimum Ni content is recommended through the analysis of wear debris.

To verify the suitability of microwave digestion method for analyzing macro nutrients and metals. K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, and Mn contents in plant and composts were investigated comparing with conventional wet digestion method. Because it takes short time to digest metal samples by using microwave method compared with conventional wet digestion method. Digestion time for metal samples was four to six hours long for wet digestion, while one hour long for microwave digestion. Determinant coefficients of Cu, Mn, Zn, Ca, K, and Mg contents between two analyzing methods were 0.99, 0.99, 0.94. 0.97, 0.98, and 0.91, respectively. In the case of Ca and K, microwave digestion method analyzed their contents relatively low compared with wet digestion method. Meanwhile, microwave digestion method analyzed the contents for Cu, Ma, and Zn relatively high compared with wet digestion method. This study results in that microwave digestion method could be an alternative to replacing conventional wet digestion method.

Reflow soldering process is essential in electronic package. Reflow process for a long time results from the decrease of reliability because IMC is formed excessively. Solder alloys of Sn-37Pb and Sn-Ag with different kinds of Cu contents (0, 0.5 and 1 wt.%) as compared with Ni and Cu plate joints are investigated according to varying reflow time. The interfaces of solder joints are observed to analyze IMC (intermetallic compound) growth rate by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Shear test is also performed by using SP (Share-Punch) tester. The test results are compared with the solder joints of two different plates (Ni and Cu plate). $Cu_6Sn_5$ IMCs are formed on Cu plate interfaces after reflows in all samples. Ni3Sn4 and $(Cu,Ni)_6Sn_5$ IMCs are also formed on Ni plate interfaces. The IMC layer forms are affected by reflow time and contents of solder alloy. These results show that mechanical strength of solder joints strongly depends on thickness and shape of IMC.

In this paper, fabrication of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder bumping having accurate composition and behavior of intermetallic compounds(IMCs) growth at interface between Sn-Ag-Cu bumps and Cu substrate were studied. The ternary alloy of the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder was made by two binary(Sn-Cu, Sn-Ag) electroplating on Cu pad. For the manufacturing of the micro-bumps, photo-lithography and reflow process were carried out. After reflow process, the micro-bumps were aged at $150^{\circ}C$ during 1 hr to 500 hrs to observe behavior of IMCs growth at interface. As a different of Cu contents(0.5 or 2wt%) at Sn-Cu layer, behavior of IMCs was estimated. The interface were observed by FE-SEM and TEM for estimating of their each IMCs volume ratio and crystallographic-structure, respectively. From the results, it was found that the thickness of $Cu_3Sn$ layer formed at Sn-2.0Cu was thinner than the thickness of that layer be formed Sn-0.5Cu. After aging treatment $Cu_3Sn$ was formed at Sn-0.5Cu layer far thinner.

This study is for geochemical relationships between ginseng and soil from three representative soil types from Keumsan, shale, phyllite and granite. In the weathered soils(avg.), shale area is high in the most of element, but low in the granite area. In the field soils(avg.), the shale area is mainly high, but low in the granite area and comparing with ages, most of elements are high in the 2 year soils, but low in the 4 year soils. In the host rocks(avg.), high average element contents are shown in the phyllite and shale areas. In the ginsengs, differences of the element contents with ages are not clear, but show high element contents in the 2 year ginsengs of the shale and phyllite areas, and low contents in the 4 year ginsengs of the granite area. In the relative ratios(weathered soil/field soil), most of elements from the shale area are high, above 1, suggesting high element contents in the weathered soils of the shale area relative to the granite and phyllite areas. In the relative ratios(weathered soil/host rock), most of elements Ewe above 1, suggesting the high element contents in the weathered soils relative to the host rocks. Relative ratios (soil/ginseng) of the element contents are generally several times to ten times. Among the ginsengs of different ages with the same area, the relative ratios are small in the Cu and Zn contents. Regardless of the areas, big differences of the relative ratios are found in the Co and small differences are in the Cu and Zn, which suggest that differences between soils and ginsengs are big in the Co contents and small in the Cu and Zn contents. Regardless of the ages, differences among relative ratios are small in granite area relative to the shale. area, which suggest more similarity of the granite soils with ginsengsrelativetotheshalearea.

Solderability and reaction properties were investigated for four Pb-free alloys as a function of Ag contents; Sn-4.0Ag-0.5Cu, Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu, Sn-2.5Ag-0.5Cu, and Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu. The alloy of the lowest Ag content, i.e., Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu, showed poor wetting properties as the reaction temperature decreased to 230oC. Variation of Ag concentration in the Sn-xAg-0.5Cu alloy shifted exothermic peaks indicating the undercooling temperature in DSC curve. For the aging process at 170oC, the thickness of IMCs at the board-side solder/Cu interface increased with the Ag concentration.
