Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have excellent electrical, chemical stability, mechanical and thermal properties. In this paper, networks of Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) materials were investigated as a resistive gas sensors for the $H_2$ gas detection. Sensor films were fabricated by the air spray method using the multi-walled CNTs dispersion solution on the glass substrates cured with plasma and nitrocellulose. Sensors were characterized by the resistance measurements in the self-fabricated oven in order to find the optimum detection properties for the hydrogen gas molecular. The sensitivity and the linearity of the MWVNT sensors using the glass substrate cured with plasma for the $H_2$ gas concentration of 0.06~0.6 ppm are 0.013~0.097%/sec and 0.131~0.959%FS, respectively. The MWCNT film was excellent in the response for the hydrogen gas moleculars and its reaction speed was very fast, which could be using as hydrogen gas sensor. The resistance of the fabricated sensors decreases when the sensors are exposed to $H_2$ gas.

Polymer nanocomposite has been attracting more attention as a new insulation material because homogeneous dispersion of nano-sized inorganic fillers can improve various properties significantly. In this paper, various kinds of epoxy-based nanocomposites were made, and the AC breakdown strengths of Nano filler and micro-$SiO_2$ filler mixtures of epoxy-based composites were analyzed using sphere-to-sphere electrodes. Moreover, nano- and microfiller combinations were investigated as an approach to practical application of nanocomposite insulation materials. Its composition ratio was 100 (resin):82 (hardener):1.5 (accelerator). AC breakdown tests were performed at room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$), $80^{\circ}C$, and $100^{\circ}C$ in the vicinity of $T_g$ ($90^{\circ}C$). Thermal conductivity was measured using TC-30.

$GaF_3$ films were directly grown on p' and p-type GaAs(100) substrates using a $SF_6$ plasma discharge system. GaAs MIS(Meta1-Insulator-Semiconductor) capacitor was successfully fabricated for about 1 hour at temperature $290^{\circ}C$ using the as-grown $GaF_3$ films. The as-grown films on p'-GaAs exhibited a current density of less than 6.68 $\times$ $1O^{-9}$ A/$cm^2$ at a breakdown field of 500kV/cm and a refractive index of 2.0 ~ 2.3 at a wavelength of 632.8 nm. The dielectric constant was about 5 derived from 1 MHz capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements. Dielectric dispersion of the fluoridated films on p'-GaAs measured ranged from 100 Hz to 10 MHz was not observed.

In this paper, nanocrystalline indium tin oxide (ITO) particles were fabricated by using synthesis without harmful elements. The synthetic method is to eliminate the chloridic and nitridic elements which are included in the current wet type synthetic method. Therefore, it is possible to lower synthetic temperature below 600 $^{\circ}C$ to eliminate the harmful elements. Accordingly, fine particle can be achieved by applying the process. Particle size, surface area, crystal structure, and composition ratio of the synthesized nanocrystalline ITO particle by using the method were analyzed with high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), BET surface area analyzer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS). As a result, its particle size is less than 10 nm, and the surface area exceeds 100 m$^2$/g. The XRD analysis indicates that the cystal structure of the powder is cubic one with orientation of <222>, <400>, <440>. Also, the analysis of the composition demonstrates that the around 8 wt% tin is uniformly included in In$_2$O$_3$ lattice of the nanoparticle.

Crystallographic and magnetic characteristics of CoCr-based magnetic thin film for perpendicular magnetic recording media were influenced on preparing conditions. In these, there is that substrate temperature was parameter that increases perpendicular coercivity of CoCrTa magnetic layer using recording layer. While preparation of CoCr-based doublelayer, by optimizing substrate temperature, we expect to increase perpendicular anisotropy of CoCr magnetic layer and prepare ferromagnetic recording layer with a good quality by epitaxial growth. CoCrTa/Si doublelayer showed a good dispersion angle of c-axis orientation $\Delta$$\theta$$_{50}$ caused by inserting amorphous Si underlayer which prepared at underlayer substrate temperature 250C. Perpendicular coercivity was constant, in-plane coercivity was controlled a low value about 2000e. This result implied that Si underlayer could restrain growth of initial layer of CoCrTa thin film, which showed bad magnetic properties effectively without participating magnetization patterns of magnetic layer. In case of CoCrTa/Si that prepared with ultra thin underlayer, crystalline orientation of CoCrTa was improved rather underlayer thickness 1nm, it was expected that amorphous Si layer played a important role in not only underlayer but also seed layer.t also seed layer.r.

In this study, nano-sized powders of SiO$_2$-0∼15mo1%B$_2$O$_3$ composition were prepared by sol-gel processing method using TEOS(Tetra ethyl ortho silicate) and H$_3$BO$_3$ solution. The powders were tape-cast on High silicate glass sheet(HSG) substrate and sintered to form a layer of undercladding for the planar light wave module. During the sol-gel processing, H$_2$O/Si mole ratio were varied to modify the size of the powders in a range from 600 to 75nm. The dispersion of the powder was modified by changing the pH of the slurry. Sintering temperature of the tape was observed to decrease with the size of the powder and the B$_2$O$_3$ content in the powder. When the silica powders of 75∼125nm in diameter containing 15mo1% B$_2$O$_3$ were used, 98 TD% was obtained at 1250$^{\circ}C$, which is approximately 300$^{\circ}C$ reduction in sintering temperature compared with micrometer-sized powders.

The primary aim of this study is to investigate new semi-abrasive free slurry including acid colloidal silica and hydrogen peroxide for copper chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP). In general, slurry for copper CMP consists of colloidal silica as an abrasive, organic acid as a complex-forming agent, hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent, a film forming agent, a pH control agent and several additives. We developed new semi-abrasive free slurry (SAFS) including below 0.5% acid colloidal silica. We evaluated additives as stabilizers for hydrogen peroxide as well as accelerators in tantalum nitride CMP process. We also estimated dispersion stability and Zeta potential of the acid colloidal silica with additives. The extent of enhancement in tantalum nitride CMP was verified through anelectrochemical test. This approach may be useful for the application of single and first step copper CMP slurry with one package system.

Electrical energy is used for heating and cooling because electric cars do not have engines and cooling water. The downside is that when the heating and cooling system is applied to electric vehicles, about 40 percent of the energy is spent on heating and cooling, which is less efficient in winter. This has increased demand for electric vehicle battery efficiency. In this study, the condensation and dispersion of carbon nanotubes were controlled, and carbon fibers and composite slurry were manufactured without binders to manufacture paper. Manufactured by content showed the highest heat generation characteristic at 143℃ with a carbon fiber content ratio of 20wt% and confirmed that the heat temperature rises with increasing pressure. The plane heaters made through this study can be applied to a variety of products other than electric vehicles because they can be simplified by process and high temperature.

The nano-technology becomes a key technology in every field and it wasn't specialized any more. But nano-technology didn't applied every fields actively. Because It is difficult to fabricate the nanocomposites using nano-partie without aggregation of nano-size particles. So many researcher used organic solvent for dispersion in polymer nanocomposites. But organic solvent affected the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties in the sample. We aimed this point that investigated the effect of organic solvent in the sample by evaporated temperature(60, 80, $100^{\circ}C$). In results, nano-particles affected to electrical properties of the sample due to decrease the energy gap. And at 120 Hz, impedance value of samples by varied evaporated temperature was decreased only at $60^{\circ}C$ dramatically. It's means that organic solvent role to impurities and decreased the activation energy. And these impurities contributed to the conductivity in the sample.
