A new approach based on implicit surface interpolation combined with domain decomposition is proposed for filling complex-shaped holes in a large polygon model, A surface was constructed by creating a smooth implicit surface from an incomplete polygon model through which the actual surface would pass. The implicit surface was defined by a radial basis function, which is a continuous scalar-value function over the domain $R^{3}$. The generated surface consisted of the set of all points at which this scalar function is zero. It was created by placing zero-valued constraints at the vertices of the polygon model. The well-known domain decomposition method was used to treat the large polygon model. The global domain of interest was divided into smaller domains in which the problem could be solved locally. The LU decomposition method was used to solve the set of small local problems; the local solutions were then combined using weighting coefficients to obtain a global solution. The validity of this new approach was demonstrated by using it to fill various holes in large and complex polygon models with arbitrary topologies.

In this work, TCO-less dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) using Ti-mesh layer is fabricated for high-efficient low-cost solar cell application. The Ti-mesh metal can replace TCO in the photo-electrode part of DSCs, thus the cell structure is composed of a glass/dye sensitized TiO2 particle/ Ti-mesh layer/electrolyte/Pt sputtered counter electrode/ glass. The Ti-mesh electrode with high conductivity can collect electrons from the $TiO_2$ layer and allows the ionic diffusion of $I^-/I_3^-$ through the mesh hole. Thin Ti-mesh ($\sim40{\mu}m$ in thickness) electrode material is processed using rapid prototype method. The efficiency of prepared TCO-less DSCs sample is about 1.45 % ((ff: 0.5, Voc: 0.52V, Jsc: 5.55 $mA/cm^2$).

A novel image completion method is proposed that uses the advantage of planar structural information to fill corrupted portions of an image. First, in estimating parameters of the projection plane, the image is divided into several planes, and their planar structural information is analyzed. Second, in calculating the a priori probability of patch and patch offset regularity, this information is converted into a constraint condition to guide the process of filling the hole. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is fast and effective, and ensures the structure continuity of the damaged region and smoothness of the texture.

A new approach for the automatic elimination of free edges in the finite element model for the analysis of sheet metal forming processes is presented. In general, the raw finite element model constructed from an automatic mesh generator is not well suited for the direct use in the downstream forming analysis due to the many free edges which requires tedious time consuming interactive graphic operations of the users. In the present study, a general method for the automatic elimination of free edges is proposed by introducing a CAD/CAE hybrid method. In the method a trimmed parametric surface is generated to fill the holes which are orginated from the free edges by using the one step elastic finite element analysis. In addition, mesh generation algorithm is suggested which can be used in the general trimmed surface. In order to verify the validity of the proposed method, various examples including actual automobile sheet metal parts are given and discussed.

This research work is to suggest the experimental results capable of solving an initial unsuitability of combustion and environment in a constant volume combustion chamber by using LFG(Land Fill Gas) which consists of 40% CO₂ and 60% CH₄. The experimental condition is set as 0.9~1.6 of air-fuel ratio, 3bar of combustion pressure, 25℃ of room temperature, methane for using gas, and 2.5~4.5 of Pre-chamber hole sizes. As a result, it can be seen that diffusion of initial flame is significantly increased by M3.0 model comparing with other one. The reason for the characteristics is that orifice effect is extremely improved by 0.9, 1.0, and 1.2 of air-fuel ratio comparing with other one. Consequently, this experiment is shown that M3.0 model is partially capable of improving combustion performance than a conventional ignition plug in case of applying to LFG with Pre-chamber design.

The conventional representative underground cavity restoration methods, which are mainly open-cut methods, require high cost and long period of time for the restoration. Therefore, various trenchless restoration methods have been proposed to improve these disadvantages. The underground cavity restoration method using the expansive material proposed in this paper is one of the trenchless methods. This method fills the underground cavity with high quality backfill soils through the small hole(s) at asphalt layer and compacts backfill soils by insertion of the expansive material within the cavity. In this study, the restoration method using expansive material was constructed in acrylic chamber. The restoration efficiency of the method was analyzed by the fill ratio and degree of relative compaction according to the location and number of bore holes. As a result of the experiment, the restoration efficiency and the optimum construction location were found to be irrelevant.

Image inpainting is the widely used technique to restore a damaged region or to fill a hole in an image. The exemplar-based technique effectively generates new texture by copying colour values of the most correlated patch in the source into the empty region of the current patch. In traditional exemplar-based synthesis, the patch correlation is computed using only the already filled pixels of the current patch. Thus, by ignoring the correlation between the hole regions of the two patches, an undesirable patch which is highly correlated with the current patch in the already filled area but considerably dissimilar in the area to be filled can be selected, which results in bad texture propagation. To avoid such problems, a new exemplar-based inpainting method using patch extrapolation is proposed. The empty part of the current patch is extrapolated beforehand, and then the complete patch is used for finding its exemplar. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides more natural synthesis results than the conventional ones.

A study to improve filling of semiconductor contact holes by enhancement of the directionality of the source beams has been undertaken. The collimation of source beams was improved by the ionized cluster beam deposition technique with modification of the cell geometry. The collimation tested with neutral beam was excellent. But, the Cu flims were grown in a columnar mode due to the lack of surface mobilit of the impinged clusters. A shadow effect also caused cleavage and consequent discontinuity at the steos as films grow. By applying acceleration voltage, the columnar growth in a contact hole of 0.5 $\mu$m diameter and 1 $\mu$m height disappeared and considerable coverage at the side wall of the contacts as well as perfect bottom coverage were observed. These are all due to the assistants of the accelerated ionized clusters with high kinetic energy. Thus we demonstrated that the ICB deposition technique can be used to completely fill sub-half-micron contact holes with high aspect ratio.

최근 주목받고 있는 Flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display에서는 Flexible 특성이 요구된다. 이는 현재 쓰이는 유리기판 대신 플라스틱기판으로 만들어야 가능하다. 하지만 플라스틱기판은 구성물질로 유기물을 사용하므로 수분과 산소의 투과에 매우 취약하다. 이는 장시간 사용 시 기판 위에 제작된 소자성능저하를 야기하는 등의 소자 신뢰도에 치명적 결함을 갖게 하는 원인이 된다. 따라서 기판 위의 소자를 보호할 수 있는 봉지기술 개발이 필요한데 가장 잘 알려진 플라스틱 기판에 적합한 Barrier기술로 유기물과 무기물을 교대로 적층하는 기술[1] 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 PE-CVD 공정기술을 이용한 Flowable Oxide 박막과 ALD 공정기술을 이용한 Al2O3 무기물 박막을 적층하여 봉지박막을 구성하려 한다. Flowable Oxide는 저온공정이 가능하며 높은 증착속도와 뛰어난 Gap fill 특성을 가지고 있는데 이는 플라스틱기판의 엉성한 분자구조를 치밀하게 만들 것으로 예상되며 표면의 Pin-hole 또한 쉽게 채우는 특성이 있다. 실험은 Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) film 위에 PE-CVD 공정을 이용하여 Flowable Oxide를 증착하고, 그 후에 ALD 공정을 이용하여 Al2O3을 적층한 것을 하나의 샘플로 하였다. 샘플의 분석은 Ca test를 이용한 Water Vapor Transmission rate(WVTR)과 FT-IR, FE-SEM을 이용하여 분석하였다. FT-IR로 박막의 구성요소를 확인 하고 FE-SEM으로 박막의 Cross section image를 얻을 수 있었으며 또한 $4.85{\times}10^{-5}g/m^2$ day의 초기 WVTR 값을 얻을 수 있었다.
