The chemical shift of SiOC film was observed according to the flow rate ratio. SiOC film had the broad main band of $880\sim1190cm^{-1}$ and the sharp Si-$CH_3$ bond at $1252cm^{-1}$, and the peak position of the main bond in the infrared spectra moved to high frequency according to the increasing of an BTMSM flow rate. So the increment of the alkyl group induced the C-H bond condensation in the film, and shows the blueshift in the infrared spectra. In the case of P5000 system of Applied Materials Corporation, the strong bond of Si-CH3 bond in precursor does not enough to dissociated and ionized, because low plasma energy due to the capactive coupled CVD. Therefore, there was the sharp peak of Si-$CH_3$ bond at $1252cm^{-1}$.

The electronic market thrust for many hybrid circuit manufacturers is changing because commercial market segments such as telecommunications, automotive and consumer electronics have increased the demand world wide for environmentally friendly thick film products. This, in turn, places a stronger emphasis on the material suppliers within the circuit fabrication industry to provide toxin free products with equal or higher performance than traditional technology. A new group of silver based thick film conductors, which are totally free of such toxins as cadmium, nickel and Bead have been developed to meet new environmental requirements. Traditional thick film products and newly developed toxin free compositions will be compared and data will be presented. To evaluate their performance, both groups of conductors were tested for solder acceptance, leach resistance and aged adhesion with standard lead-containing solder and higher temperature lead-free solder.

This paper is presented to determine the optimal parameters of squeeze film damper using an enhanced genetic algorithm (EGA). The damper design parameters are the radius, length and radial clearance of the damper. The objective function is minimization of a transmitted load between bearing and foundation at the operating and critical speeds of a flexible rotor. The present algorithm was the synthesis of a genetic algorithm with simplex method for a local concentrate search. This hybrid algorithm is not only faster than the standard genetic algorithm, but also gives a more accurate solution and can find both the global and local optimum solution. The numerical example is presented that illustrated the effectiveness of enhanced genetic algorithm for the optimal design of the squeeze film damper for reducing transmitted load.

The main objective of this paper is to develop computer simulation program for performance evaluation and cost estimation of a reverse osmosis (RO) and pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) hybrid process to propose guidelines for its economic competitiveness use in the field. A solution-diffusion model modified with film theory and a simple cost model was applied to the simulation program. Using the simulation program, the effects of various factors, including the Operating conditions, membrane properties, and cost parameters on the RO and RO-PRO hybrid process performance and cost were examined. The simulation results showed that the RO-PRO hybrid process can be economically competitive with the RO process when electricity cost is more than 0.2 $/kWh, the PRO membrane cost is same as RO membrane cost, the power density is more than $8W/m^2$ and PRO recovery is same as 1/(1-RO recovery).

Since catalyst technology is one of the promising technologies to improve the working performance of next generation energy and electronic devices, many efforts have been made to develop various catalysts with high efficiency at a low cost. However, there are remaining challenges to be resolved in order to use the suggested catalytic materials, such as platinum (Pt), gold (Au), and palladium (Pd), due to their poor cost-effectiveness for device applications. In this study, to overcome these challenges, we suggest a useful method to increase the surface area of a noble metal catalyst material, resulting in a reduction of the total amount of catalyst usage. By employing block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly and nano-transfer printing (n-TP) processes, we successfully fabricated sub-20 nm Pt line and cross-bar patterns. Furthermore, we obtained a highly ordered Pt cross-bar pattern on a Ni thin film and a Pt-embedded Ni thin film, which can be used as hetero hybrid alloy catalyst structure. For a detailed analysis of the hybrid catalytic material, we used scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), which revealed a well-defined nanoporous Pt nanostructure on the Ni thin film. Based on these results, we expect that the successful hybridization of various catalytic nanostructures can be extended to other material systems and devices in the near future.

We studied the optoelectronic properties of hybrid solar cells formed by mixing cadmium sulfide [CdS] nanorods with a conjugated polymer, poly-2-methoxy, 5-[2'-ethy[hexyloxy]-1,4-p-phenylenevinylene[MEH-PPV]. CdS nanorods were grown vertically on Ti substrates by electrochemical deposition through a porous alumina template. Absorption spectrum of the composite layer was the same as the superposition of the absorption spectrum of each individual layer. The photoluminescence signal from MEH-PPV film was reduced as a result of the mixing. The energy conversion efficiency of MEH-PPV improved from $0.0012\%$ to about $0.60\%$ when combined with the vertically aligned CdS nanorods.

Ti - Si - N hard films were deposited on SKD11 steel substrates by a hybrid deposition system, where TiN was deposited by AIP method while Si was incorporated by sputtering one. The microstructure of Ti-Si-N films was revealed to be a composite of TiN crystallites and amorphous Si3N4 by instrumental analyses. The highest hardness value of about 45 Gpa was obtained at the Si content of around 7.7 at.%. With increase of Si content, the size of TiN crystallites was reduced and their distribution was changed from aligned to randomly orientated states. Surface roughness of Ti-Si-N film also decreased with increase of Si content.

Thin-film humidity sensors were prepared using inorganic/organic hybrid polyelectrolytes, which were prepared from the sol-gel reaction of copolymers of [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethylpropylammonium bromide (MEPAB), n-butyl methacrylate (BMA), and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TSPM) with tetraethyl ortho-silicate (TEOS). The humidity-sensitive polyelectrolytes were composed of the copolymers having the following mole ratios of MEPAB, BMA, and TSPM: 60/30/10, 55/30/15, and 50/30/20. We found that the impedance varied with the content of MEPAB or TEOS; it ranged from $10^{7} to 10^{3}\Omega$ between 20 and $95\%$ relative humidity, which is the range required for a humidity sensor operating at ambient humidity. In addition we investigated a number of characteristics of these humidity sensors, such as their hysteresis, response time, temperature dependence, frequency dependence, water durability, and long-term stability.

Interfacial properties of 5 nm MgO(001)/7 nm Fe(001)/1.8 nm MgO(001)/t nm Cu-phthalocyanine (CuPc) hybrid multilayers with t = 0, 1, 7, and 10 were investigated by using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). Rather sharp interfacial properties were observed in the CuPc films grown on an epitaxial MgO/Fe/MgO(001) trilayer than a MgO/Fe(001) bilayer. This work suggests a new way to improve device performance of organic spintronic devices by utilizing an artificially grown MgO(001) thin layer.
