In this study, we investigated the suppression of the corrosion of cast iron in a copper-cast iron double-layered canister under local corrosion of the copper layer. The cold spray coating technique was used to insert metals with lower galvanic activity than that of copper, such as silver, nickel, and titanium, between the copper and cast iron layers. Electrochemically accelerated corrosion tests were performed on the galvanic specimens in KURT groundwater at a voltage of 1.0 V for a week. The results revealed that copper corrosion was evident in all galvanic specimens of Cu-Ag, Cu-Ni, and Cu-Ti. By contrast, the copper was barely corroded in the Cu-Fe specimens. Therefore, it was concluded that if an inactive galvanic metal is applied to the areas where local corrosion is concerned, such as welding parts, the disposal canister can overcome local or non-uniform corrosion of the copper canister for long periods.

Inorganic 물질인 SiO2 dielectric 위에 organic dielectric PVP (4-vinyphenol)를 spin coating으로 올려, inorganic/organic dielectric 형태의 double layer구조로 High-performance amorphous indiumgallium zinc oxide thin-film transistors (IGZO TFT)를 제작하여 보았다. SiO2 dielectric을 buffer layer로 80 nm, PVP는 10Wt% 400 nm로 구성하였으며, 200 nm single SiO2 dielectric과 동일한 수준의 leakage current 특성을 MIM Capacitor 구조를 통해서 확인할 수 있었다. 이 소자의 장점은 용액공정의 도입으로 공정 시간의 단축 및 원가 절감을 이룰 수 있으며, dielectric과 channel 사이의 균일한 interface의 형성으로 interface trap 개선 및 Yield 향상의 장점을 갖는다. 우리는 실험을 통해서 SiO2 buffer layer가 수직 electric field에 의한 leakage current을 제어하고, PVP dielectric은 interface를 개선하는 것을 확인하였다. Vth의 negative shift 및 slope의 향상으로 구동전압이 줄어들고, 균일한 I-V Curve 형성을 통해서 Process Yield의 향상을 확인하였다.

Modeling and FEM analysis on Boron Nitride and/or Pyrolytic Carbon coating layers on SiC fibers under indentation contact loadings are investigated. Especially this study attempts to model the mechanical behavior of the SiC fibers with and without coatings. Tyranno S grade and Tyranno LoxM grade of SiC are selected for fiber and Boron Nitride and/or Pyrolytic Carbon as coating material. The modeling is performed by SiC fiber without coating layer, which includs single(BN or PyC) and double(BN-PyC or PyC-BN) coating layer. And then the analysis is performed by changing a type of coating layer, a type of fiber and coating sequence. In this study, the concepts of modeling and analysis techniques for optimum design of BN and PyC coating process on SiC fiber are shown. Results show that stresses are reduced when indentation contact loading applies on the material having lower elastic modulus.

TiCN thin films were deposited on tool steels at $510^{\circ}C$ by PECVD from a $TiCl_4+N_2+CH_4+H_2+Ar$ gaseous mixture. The microstructures and preferred orientation were investigated. The micro-scratch tests were performed using a system equipped with an acoustic emission sensor. Critical loads were determined to evaluate the adhesion of TiCN to substrate. The influences of the microstructures of substrates, double layered coatings, and coatings after nitriding(duplex coating) were investigated. The experimental results showed that the microstructures of substrates and double layered coating did not affect the critical loads considerably. By the duplex coating, critical loads were not always increased. In some cases, duplex coatings decreased critical loads significantly despite of absence of black layer. In this study, we tried to relate the results of scratch test to the residual stress analysis. Nitriding before the coating reduces the tensile residual stress in the film, which gives rise to low critical load in scratch test.

일반적으로 TiO2와 WO3는 광촉매 작용으로 인하여 살균력을 보이며, 친수성으로 인해 자가 세정 능력을 가져 유리 및 건축자재의 표면처리, 전자제품의 마감처리 용도로 많이 사용하고 있다. 현재 Sol-gel, CVD, Sputter, Spin-coating 방법 등으로 많은 연구가 진행되어 오고 있다. 이에 본 실험에서는 박막의 두께를 균일하게 만들 수 있는 RF-magnetron sputtering 방법을 이용하여 표면 경도와 부착력이 우수한 TiO2에 열적 특성과 화학적 특성이 안정한 WO3를 Double Layer 방식으로 증착하여 박막을 제작하였다. 광학적 특성을 알아 본 결과 가시광 영역에서 TiO2 / WO3 Double Layer 박막이 80% 이상의 높은 투과율을 나타내었으며, 박막의 표면을 확인 한 결과 TiO2 / WO3 Double Layer 박막이 더 조밀한 표면을 보였다. 또한 접촉각을 측정을 통하여 TiO2박막보다 TiO2 / WO3 double layer박막이 낮은 접촉각을 나타내었다. 이는 TiO2 표면은 소수성이나 WO3로 인해 광촉매 기능이 향상되어 공기 중의 물 분자가 해리 흡착되면서 친수성이 향상되는 것으로 사료된다. 이러한 박막은 건물의 외벽이나 자동차의 내 외장재 전자기기용 광학 필름에 자가세정, 내반사 코팅소재로 활용 가치가 높을 것으로 예상된다.

실리콘 질화막(SiNx : H)는 결정질 실리콘 태양전지 제작 공정에서 ARC (Anti Reflection Coating)과 표면 패시베이션의 역할로써 많이 사용되었지만, layer 자체의 quality가 좋지 않기 때문에 최근에는 SiNx/SiO2 이중 layer로 passivation layer를 형성하고 있다. SiO2 layer는 Si substrate를 소스로 하여 성장시키기 때문에 막의 질이 우수하기는 하지만, 막 성장을 위해서 Furnace를 이용해야 하기 때문에, 공정 시간과 공정 비용을 증가시키는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 SiO2 layer를 Furnace가 아닌, 질산(HNO3)을 이용하여SiNx/Thin SiO2 passivation layer 제작하였다. 실험에서는 SiO2 성장을 위해서 질산 용액에 p-type wafer를 dipping하여 시간대 별, SiO2 막의 두께를 관찰하였고, passivation의 효과를 확인하기 위해 lifetime을 측정하였다. 그 결과 SiNx/SiO2 이중 passivation layer는 SiNx 단일 막으로 passivation을 하였을 때보다, lifetime이 10 us 상승했고, 셀 제작시 효율은 약 1.1%, Fill Factor는 약 4% 정도 증가한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In chromium electrodeposition, crack is inevitably accompanied by chromium layer. Behavior of crack formation and crack density were different from the plating conditions such as current density, temperature, waveform of applied current and so on. And cracks have an influence on the corrosion resistance of chromium deposit, because corrosion occurs through the network of cracks between deposit and substrate. Therefore, many researches have been achieved in order to remove the cracks in chromium deposit. Formation of double layers, Cr/Cr and Ni/Cr were investigated to increase corrosion resistance of chromium deposit in this study. As pretreatment prior to outer chromium coating, acid pickling and current control method were examined. Cracks in cross-section of each sample were observed with SEM and CASS(Copper modified acetic acid salt spray) test was performed to evaluate corrosion resistance. It was found that corrosion resistance of Cr/Cr and Ni/Cr double layers were superior to Cr or Ni single layer from the results of CASS test.

We report the fabrication of double clad fiber (DCF) and DCF coupler, suitable for fiber based imaging systems requiring the dual-channel transmission. Unlike the conventional DCF which uses silica for both cladding layers, the proposed DCF uses a low-index polymer for its outer-cladding layer coated over the conventional silica inner-cladding layer. The DCF is drawn with a conventional SMF preform but a low-index polymer coating is used for both jacket and outercladding of the fiber. To achieve the cladding mode coupling, a DCF coupler is fabricated by simply twisting two pieces of the proposed DCF after removing the polymer-coating at contacting regions. A cladding mode coupling ratio of 30% was achieved with a contact length of 16 cm. The proposed DCF and DCF coupler were employed in a composite optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescence spectroscopy (FS) system, and both OCT images and FS signal from a plant tissue are measured simultaneously.

The electrochemical characteristics and specific capacitance were investigated by preparation processes (dip coating method, doctor blade coating method and paste rolling method) of activated carbon electrode for an EDLC(electric double layer capacitor). The EDLC using $LiPF_6$ salts and PC-DEC solvents showed good specific capacitance, 130F/g and small IR-drop at linear time-voltage curve. 0.11V, Cyclic voltammetry analysis using the activated carbon electrode prepared by dip coating method was shown closer to ideal EDLC characterization.
