본 논문은 LTCC 공정에 기반을 둔 GSM/DCS dual band 의 소형화된 antenna switch module을 공정변수 따른 특성의 왜곡을 안정화시키는 연구를 수행하였다. 특히 tape thickness의 변화에 따라 패턴간의 기생 커플링이 주된 변수로 작용한다. 두께 50um인 tape으로 제작된 시편의 사이즈는 $4.5{\times}3.2{\times}0.8 mm^3$이고 insertion loss는 Rx mode와 Tx mode 각각 ldB. 1.2dB 이하이다. 공정상에서 tape thickness의 변화에 따라 개발된 모듈의 특성 안정성을 검증하기 위해 각 블록-다이플렉서,필터, 바이어스 회로-을 probing method을 이용, 측정하였고, 각 블록간의 상호관계는 VSWR을 계산하여 비교하였다. 또한 회로적 관점에서 특성 개선을 위해 바이어스 회로부분의 집중소자형과 분포소자형을 구현하여 서로 비교 분석하였다. 이를 통해 각 블록의 측정과 계산된 VSWR의 데이터는 공정변수에 의해 변화된 전체 module의 특성과 안정성 거동을 파악하는데 좋은 정보를 준다. Tape thickness변화에도 불구하고 다이플렉스의 matching값은 연결되는 바이어스 회로와 LPF의 matching값과 상대 matching이 되면서, 낮은 VSWR을 유지하여 전체 insertion loss가 안정화되는 것을 확인하였다. 더불어 분포소자형 바이어스 회로보다는 집중소자형이 다른 회로블럭과의 관계에서 더 좋은 매칭을 이루어 loss개선에 일조하였다. Tape thickness가 6 um이상의 변화를 가져와도 집중소자형 바이어스 회로는 낮은 손실을 유지하여 더 넓은 안정 범위를 가져오기 때문에 양산에 적합한 구조가 될 수 있다 그리고, probing method에 의한 안정성 특성 추출은 세라믹에 임베디드된 수동회로들의 개발에 충분히 적용될 수 있다.

In this study, development of a new LTCC material using non-glassy system was attempted with repsect to reducing the fabrication process steps and cost down. Lowering the sintering temperature can be achieved by liquid phase sintering. However, presence of liquid phases usually decrease dielectric properties, especially the quality factor. Therefore, the starting material must have quality factor as high as possible in microwave frequency range. And also, the material should have a low dielectric constant for enhancing the signal propagation speed. Regarding these factors, dielectric constants of various materials were estimated by the Clausius-Mosotti equation. Among them, $ZnWO_4$ was turned out the suitable LTCC material. $ZnWO_4$ can be sintered up to 98% of full density at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. It's measured dielectric constant, quality factor, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were 15.5, 74380GHz, and $-70ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively. In order to modify the dielectric properties and densification temperature, $B_{2}O_{3}$ and $V_{2}O_{5}$ were added to $ZnWO_4$. 40 mol% $B_{2}O_{3}$ addition reduced the dielectric constant from 15.5 to 12. And the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was improved from -70 to $-7.6ppm/^{\circ}C$. However, sintering temperature did not change due to either lack of liquid phase or high viscosity of liquid phase. Incorporation of small amount of $V_{2}O_{5}$ in $ZnWO_{4}-B_{2}O_{3}$ system enhanced liquid phase sintering. 0.1 wt% $V_{2}O_{5}$ addition to the $0.6ZnWO_{4}-0.4B_{2}O_{3}$ system, reduced the sintering temperature down to $950^{\circ}C$. Dielectric constant, quality factor, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were 9.5, 16737GHz, and $-21.6ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The purpose of this paper is the development of measurement algorithm for green-sheet based on the digital image processing technique. The Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic (LTCC) technology can be defined as a way to produce multilayer circuits with the help of single tapes, which are used to apply conductive, dielectric and / or resistive pastes on. These single green-sheets have to be laminated together and fired in one step all. Main functionality of the green-sheet film measurement algorithm is to measure the position and size of the punching hole in each single layer. The line scan camera coupled with motorized X-Y stage is used for developing the algorithm. In order to measure the entire film area using several scanning steps, the overlapping method is used. In the process of development of the algorithm based on the image processing and analysis, strong background technology and know-how have been accumulated.

개인 휴대 통신 기기의 급속한 발달로 인해 부품의 소형화, 고집적화가 중요한 요소로 대두되고 있으며 이를 위해서는 모듈내부에 3차원적인 수동소자의 내장이 가능한 LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) 공정이 각광받고 있다. Embedded Capacitor를 제조하기 위해 유전율이 7.6과 6.5인 LTCC 재료를 이종접합 하여 제조하였으며 이종재료의 수축거동 차이에 의한 camber가 발생하였다. 이를 해결하고 또한 고주파 부품용 정밀회로 패턴을 구 현하기 위해 PLAS 방식의 Constrained Sintering 공정을 적용하여 camber 문제를 해결하였으며 capacitance 값이 두 이종재료의 유전율과 1:1로 비례하지 않았는데 이는 유전율 65 tape에 잔존하는 기공 때문으로 판단되며 미세구조로써 확인하였다.

VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator)는 통신용 단말기의 크기, 성능 및 전력 소비를 결정하는 중요한 부품중의 하나이다. 통신용 기기의 크기가 점점 작아지고 있는 추세이기 때문에 VCO도 특성의 저하없이 점점 소형화 되고 있다. VCO 모듈을 개발하기에 앞서 회로에 사용되는 수동소자(L,C,R)들에 대한 연구가 진행되었다. 이 과정에서 작은 면적을 차지하면서도 동일한 특성을 나타낼 수 있는 패턴을 고안하였고 이를 적용하였다. 자체 개발된 수동소자 library를 가지고 2차원 simulation을 시행하였고 이를 바탕으로 3차원 회로를 구성하였다. 3차원 회로 구성시 VCO 전체 특성에 크게 영향을 주는 소자들은 trimming이 가능하도록 surface 쪽으로 배치하였다. 공진기 부분에서는 저손실의 stripline 구조를 적용하여 높은 Q값을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 과정을 통해 2.3~2.36 GHz에서 동작하는 적층형 VCO를 개발하였다.

Micro patterning of conductor line/space on LTCC green sheet in the LTCC module is an important process for miniaturization in 3D integrated circuits. This work presented the effect of inorganic binders on the microstructure, adhesion, electrical resistivity, shrinkage and line/space resolution, which is a part of study in photoimageable conductor paste. The photoimageable conductor paste contains silver powder, polymer binder, monomer, photo-initiator, UV absorber, and solvent. The inorganic binders were furnished with varied weight percentage of anorthite, diopside and MLS-62 glass frits from 0% to 7%. The Line/space sizes thus obtained was under 25 micron.

In this paper, a ceramic antenna and diplexer are designed for dual-band handset ap plications. Basically, the antenna is designed by using the meander line configuration. The diplexer presented in this paper is composed of both low- and high-pass filters. We have designed the low- and high-pass filters with attenuation poles to improve the attenuation performances of the diplexer. The attenuation poles are located at each rejection frequency region so as to improve the shrinkage characteristic of the diplexer. In order to accomplish the volume effectiveness, the antenna and the diplexer have been designed and fabricated in a multi-layer structure. The diplexer designed with a multi-layer structure has inductors and capacitors, which are implemented by LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) process technique. Design of the multi-layer antenna and diplexer has been achieved by employing the full 3-D EM simulation. The designed antenna and diplexer offer excellent return loss and broadband performances with highly isolated rejection performance.

There has been much interest in recycling electronic wastes in order to mitigate environmental problems and to recover the large amount of constituent metals. Silver recovery from electronic waste is extensively studied because of environmental and economic benefits and the use of silver in fabricating nanodevices. Hydrometallurgical processing is often used for silver recovery because it has the advantages of low cost and ease of control. Research on synthesis recovered silver into nanoparticles is needed for application to transistors and solar cells. In this study, silver is selectively recovered from the by-product of electrodes. Silver precursors are prepared using the dissolution characteristics of the leaching solution. In the liquid reduction process, silver nanoparticles are synthesized under various surfactant conditions and then analyzed. The purity of the recovered silver is 99.24%, and the average particle size of the silver nanoparticles is 68 nm.

본 논문에서는 이중공진 칩 meander 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나는 기존 meander 안테나의 소형화 특성을 유지하면서 인접한 주파수에서 이중공진하는 특징을 갖는다. LTCC-MLC 공정을 이용하여 제작하였고, 2.20 GHz와 2.883 GHz에서 이중공진(주파수비=1.35)하며, meander 패치의 크기는 15.7 mm $\times$ 6.52 mm( 0.32 λg $\times$ 0.133 λg)이다. 그리고 이중공진 meander 안테나의 추가적인 소형화를 위해 3차원 구조를 제안한다. 이 3차원 구조를 이용하여 약 50 %의 크기를 추가적으로 소형화하였다. 전류분포를 통해 제안된 안테나가 이중공진하는 원리를 확인하였고, 제작된 안테나의 반사손실 및 방사패턴의 특성을 분석하였다.
