As optical communication is being substituted for telecommunication, the demand of a large variety of fiber optic components is increasing. V-groove substrates, one of the module components, are used to connect optical fibers to optical planar circuits and to arrange fibers. Their applications are multi-channel optical connectors and optical waveguide fiber coupling, etc. Because these substrates are a critical part of the splitter in a multiplexer and a multi fiber connector, precise and reliable fabrication process is required. For precisely aligning core pitch between fibers, machined core pitch tolerance should be within sub-microns. Therefore, these are generally produced by state-of-the-art micro-fabrication like MEMS. However, most of the process equipment is very expensive. It is also difficult to change the process line for custom designs to meet specific requirements using various materials. For various design specifications such as different values of the V angle and low-priced process, the fabrication method should be flexible and low cost. To achieve this goal, we have suggested a miniaturized machine tool with high accuracy positioning system. Through this study, it is shown that this cutting process can be applied to produce V-groove subtracts. We also show the possibility of using a miniaturized machining system for producing small parts.

본 논문에서는 Q-polynomial을 이용한 Korsch 망원경의 비구면 반사경 공차 분석을 진행하였다. 고해상도 인공위성의 비구면 반사경은 고정밀 제작이 요구되어 품질을 평가하기 위한 공차 분석이 중요하다. 따라서 비구면을 각 계수항들이 독립적인 Q-polynomial로 표현하고 Korsch 망원경 광학계의 공차 분석을 진행하였다. 또한 비구면 반사경에 형상 오차를 Zernike fringe sag로 부여하여 공차 분석하고 두 결과를 비교하여 Q-polynomial으로도 공차 분석할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we present the design of an electromagnetic scanning mirror with torsional springs. The scanning mirror consisting of torsional springs and electromagnetic coils was designed for the applications of laser animation systems. We analyzed and optimized three types of torsional springs, namely, straight beam springs (SBS), classic serpentine springs (CSS), and rotated serpentine springs (RSS). The torsional springs were analyzed in terms of electrical resistance, fabrication error tolerance, and resonance mode separation of each type using analytical formula or numerical analysis. The RSS has advantages over the others as follows: 1) A low resistance of conductors, 2) wide resonance mode separation, 3) strong fabrication error tolerance, 4) a small footprint. The double-layer coils were chosen instead of single-layer coils with respect to electromagnetic forces. It resulted in lower power consumption. The geometry of the scanning mirror was optimized by calculations; RSS turn was 12 and the width of double-layer coil was $100{\mu}m$, respectively. When the static rotational angle is 5 degrees, the power consumption of the mirror plate was calculated to be 9.35 mW since the resistance of the coil part and a current is $122{\Omega}$ and 8.75 mA, respectively. The power consumption of full device including the mirror plate and torsional springs was calculated to be 9.63 mW.

반도체 쿼츠 웨이퍼 다이싱용 블레이드는 마이크로/나노 디바이스와 부품을 제조하기 위해 고정밀도의 가공성을 요구한다. 따라서 균일한 마이크로/나노 선폭의 가공을 위해서는 블레이드의 제작 단계에서 균일한 두께와 밀도를 유지하는 것이 중요하다. 기존의 실리콘웨이퍼 가공을 위해서는 금속의 블레이드가 사용되고 있지만 쿼츠 웨이퍼 가공을 위해서는 고분자 복합재가 사용된다. 이러한 복합재는 가공성, 전기전도성, 그리고 적절한 강도와 연성 및 마모저항성이 있어야 한다. 그러나 기존의 건식성형 공정으로는 균일성을 유지하기 위해 많은 공정과 비용이 소비되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 도전성 나노 세라믹스 분말, 연마재 세라믹스 분말에 열경화성 수지, 전도성 고분자를 혼합한 복합재 분말을 습식성형 공정에 의해 제조, 평가하는 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저 복합재 분말을 액상과 혼합하여 블레이드를 제작하였으며, 액상의 종류, 액상 건조공정의 영향을 고찰하였다. 평가는 마이크로미터 측정기와 현미경을 이용하여 두께를 측정하였다. 두께편차와 기공률, 밀도, 경도, 등의 특성을 비교, 평가하였다. 그 결과 습식성형에 의해 블레이드의 두께편차를 감소시킬 수 있었으며, 경도 등의 특성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

A novel image quality evaluation method, which is based on combination of the rigorous grating diffraction theory and the ray-optic method, is proposed. It is applied for design optimization and, tolerance analysis of optical imaging systems implementing diffractive optical elements (DOE). The evaluation method can predict the quality and resolution of the image on the image sensor plane through the optical imaging system. Especially, we can simulate the effect of diffraction efficiencies of DOE in the camera lenses module, which is very effective for predicting different color sense and MTF performance. Using this method, we can effectively determine the fabrication tolerances of diffractive and refractive optical elements such as the variations' in profile thickness, and the shoulder of the DOE, as well as conventional parameters such as decenter and tilt in optical-surface alignments. A DOE-based 2M-resolution camera lens module designed by the optimization process based on the proposed image quality evaluation method shows ${\sim}15%$ MTF improvement compared with a design without such an optimization.

The laser welding was performed for the flange joint of two overlapped coaxial circular pipes which serve as the inlet and connector pipes of STS 316L. The laser welding test finally resulted in a good penetration depth of 1.8 to 2.0 mm. On the way to get the good welding quality, two important parameters were found to be optimized. One is the focal positioning which is the offset of the laser beam focus to the exact welding seam line, which is more critical in the inner flange laser welding. When the beam spot size was deviated more than $200\;{\mu}m$ from the seam line, welding of two pipes is failed. The other is a gap size since a certain amount of gap is inevitable due to fabrication tolerance, or artificial allowances for smooth insertion of a pipe. However, it is required to restrict the gap allowance within 0.2mm to avoid undesirable undercut on a welding bead.

This paper focuses on the properties analysis of 9mm bullet dual structure core to substitute current lead core by environment-friendly combination of W-Cu-Ni system high density composite materials. So the four combination samples were made of dual core with the different center of gravity location backward or forward compare to that of lead type bullet, and we experimented about the performance of 9mm bullet dual structure core. In the experimental results, the outer shape of core of four environment friendly samples on the target maintain marginally, while the current lead core bullets are completely crushed after hitting the target. The penetration depth of environment friendly samples excel seven times to lead type bullet and the three out of four samples with forward adjusted center of gravity penetrate deep as twice as ones backward. The impact tolerance of all four samples satisfies military specification, however, more firing tests are required to improve reliability of scattering distribution.

금속기판 위에 결합된 저온 소성 세라믹(low temperature co-fired ceramics on metal, LTCC- M)은 소성 후에 x-, y- 방향으로의 수축을 1% 이하로 억제할 수 있어 수동 소자를 내장하는데 매우 유리하며, 금속 기판 전체를 접지로 사용함으로써 노이즈를 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 고에서는 내부 실장 수동 소자별 특성차에 대하여 소개하고, 이러한 내부 실장 소자를 이용하여 실제로 제작된 PAM(power amplifier module)을 소개하였다. 내장된 수동 소자는 테스트 패턴 상에서 10~20%의 변화값을 보였으며 실제 모듈에 적용하여도 목표치에 부합하는 소자 구성이 가능하였다. 수동 소자가 내부에 실장됨으로써 신호 처리 시간을 감소시킬 수 있고, 납점의 감소로 공정을 단순화시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 신뢰성 또한 증가시킬 수 있으므로 향후 RF모듈 외에 파워 및 고기능 소자 등 다양한 분야에 응용이 가능할 것이다.

Novel polymer mold process for fabrication of microcomponents using metal nanopowders was developed and experimentally optimized. Polymer mold for forming green components was produced by using a hard master mold and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). In the preparation of metallic powder premix for the green components without any defect, 90 wt.% 17-4PH statinless steel nanopowders and 10 wt.% organic binder were mixed by a ball milling process. The green components with very clear gear shape were formed by filling the powder premix into the PDMS soft mold in surrounding at about $100^{\circ}C$. Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) was very potent process to decrease a porosity in the sintered microcomponent. The microgear fabricated by the improved process showed a good dimension tolerance of about 1.2%.

We propose a highly directional waveguide grating antenna for an optical phased array, achieving high directionality of more than 97% by interleaving the trenches with different etching depths in the silicon nitride layer, and adopting a multilayered structure. Meanwhile, the multilayered structure reduces the perturbation strength, which enables a centimeter-scale radiation length. The beam-steering range is 13.2°, with a wavelength bandwidth of 100 nm. The 1-dB bandwidth of the grating is 305 nm. The multilayered grating structure has a large tolerance to the fabrication variation and is compatible with CMOS fabrication techniques.
