LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) has been emerged as a promising technology in packaging industry. In this technology the lamination and the sintering process are very important because they change the permittivity of ceramics and the dimension of metal pattern which have influences on electric property. In this paper we studied on influence of the permittivity and the dimension change by lamination pressure and sintering temperature of LTCC process. As a results, permittivity increase along with increasing of lamination pressure and sintering temperature.

Laboratory experiments were performed to examine the effects of water content and to see if permittivity had sufficient sensitivity to identify subsurface contamination. Both real and imaginary permittivities of unsaturated sand were strongly governed by the volumetric water content. Especially, a linear relationship between real permittivity and volumetric water content was derived at high frequencies (MHz ranges). Heavy metals in pore fluid result in significant increases in the effective imaginary permittivity, due to ionic conduction, but decreases in the real permittivity arises due to the decreased orientational polarization of water molecules caused by hydration of ions. Clear increase in the effective imaginary permittivity with heavy metal concentration was found to be valuable in the application of electrical methods for detecting heavy metals in the subsurface. However, because the permittivity is primarily dependent on the volumetric water content of soil, pre-evaluation on the volumetric water content is required.

In most previous investigations of plasmonic and metamaterial applications, the metallic film has been regarded as a perfect electrical conductor. Here we demonstrate the resonance characteristics of THz metamaterials fabricated from metal film that has a finite dielectric constant, using finite-difference time-domain simulations. We found strong redshift and spectral broadening of the resonance as we decrease the metal's plasma frequency in the Drude free-electron model. The frequency shift can be attributed to the effective thinning of the metal film, originating from the increase in penetration depth as the plasma frequency decreases. On the contrary, only peak broadening occurs with an increase in the scattering rate. The metal-thickness dependence confirms that the redshift and spectral broadening occur when the effective metal thickness drops below the skin-depth limit. The electromagnetic field distribution illustrates the reduced field enhancement and reduced funneling effects near the gap area in the case of low plasma frequency, which is associated with reduced charge density in the metal film.

In this paper, the EM wave absorbers were designed and fabricated for X -band sensors using Carbon of dielectric material with CPE. The complex relative permittivity of samples is calculated by using measurement results of S-parameter. We simulated the double-layered type EM wave absorber with broad bandwidth using the measured complex relative permittivity by changing the thickness and layer, which was fabricated based on the simulated design The fabricated EM wave absorber consists of 1 mm first layer sheet facing metal with Carbon composition ratio 70 vol. % and 1.5 mm second layer sheet with Carbon composition ratio 60 vol. %. The measured results showed a good agreement to the simulated ones. It is found toot the optimized absorption ability of double-layered type EM wave absorber with thickness of 2.5 mm is higher than 10 dB from 7.8 GHz to 13.3 GHz.

Suitable replacement materials for ultrathin SiO2 in deeply scaled MOSFETs such as lattice polarizable films, which have much higherpermittivities than SiO2, have bandgaps of only 3.0 to 4.0 eV. Due to these small bandgaps, the reliability of these films as a gate insulator is a serious concern. Ramped voltage, time dependent dielectric breakdown, and hot carrier effect measurements were done on 190 layers of TiO2 which were deposited through the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition of titanium tetrakis-isopropoxide (TTIP). Measurements of the high and low frequency capacitance indicate that virtually no interface state are created during constant current injection stress. The increase in leakage upon electrical stress suggests that uncharged, near-interface states may be created in the TiO2 film near the SiO2 interfacial layer that allow a tunneling current component at low bias.

저주파수에서 유전상수 측정시 100kHz 이하의 주파수 영역에서는 전극분극효과가 발생하므로 100kHz이상의 주파수에서 유전상수가 평가되어야 한다. 유전상수는 쌍극자모멘트의 수에 비례하기 때문에 흙의 유전상수는 체적함수비에 따른 선형적인 증가경향을 나타내었다. 용액에 이온성분이 존재하는 경우에는 수화작용에 의한 물분자의 배향분극 발현의 감소로 인하여 유전상수가 감소한다. 흙과 중금속 혼합시료의 경우 함수비가 큰 시료에서는 용액의 유전특성이 발현되지만, 함수비가 작은 경우에는 공간전하분극의 영향으로 유전상수가 10-20%정도 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 현장에서의 정확한 오염도 평가를 위해서는 토양의 함수비에 대한 평가가 반드시 수행되어야 한다.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the Electromagnetic(EM) wave absorber for an Electronic Toll Collection(ETC or Hi-pass) system by using Amorphous metal powder and CPE. The material properties and the absorption properties of the samples containing 50 wt.%, 60 wt.%, 70 wt.%, and 80 wt.% of Amorphous. Moreover, the EM wave absorption abilities were simulated for the different thicknesses of the EM absorbers by adopting the measured permittivity and permeability, and then the EM wave absorber was fabricated based on the simulated design values. As a result, the EM wave absorber with the composition of Amorphous metal powder : CPE = 50 : 50 wt.% with the thickness of 2.6 mm has excellent absorption ability more than 40 dB at 5.8 GHz.

We investigated the effects of substrate, metal-line, and surface material on the performance of radio frequency identification(RFID) tag antenna using a tag antenna with a meander line radiator and T-matching network. The results showed that readability of the tag antenna with a thin high-loss substrate could be increased so that it was similar to that of a low-loss substrate if the substrate was very thin. The readability of the tag antenna decreased significantly when the metal line was thinner than the skin depth. The readability of the tag also decreased drastically when the tag was attached to high-permittivity high-loss target objects.
