During the growth of macroscopically dislocation-free Czochralski silicon crystal, micro precipitates causing stacking faults in the silicon wafer during the oxidation are formed Thermal history the cryscausing acquire during the growth process is known to be a key factor determining the nucleation of this micro precipitates. In this article, various mechanisms suggested on the formation of microdefects in the silicon crystal are reviewed to secure the nucleation mechanism of the micro precipitates causing OSF whose pattern is normally ring or annular in CZ silicon crytal. B-defects which are known as vacancy clustering are considered to be the heterogeneous nucleation sites for the micro precipitates causing OSF in the CZ silicon crystals.

In this study, the spectrum changes induced from the doping of phosphor micro particles in a twist nematic liquid crystal cell was observed. The experimental results show that the achromatic transmission can be observed with a proper driving condition, which may be applied to the design of an achromatic liquid crystal device. In this paper, we tried to figure out the spectrum changes induced from the doping of phosphor micro particles. The experimental result of the phosphor powder doped twist nematic liquid crystal cell shows that the achromatic transmission and the wavelength linearly dependent transmission both can be observed with some proper driving conditions, respectively. The result is useful on developing an achromatic liquid crystal device and it can be applied for Vihicle lamp.

Novel process was tried to obtain micro-porous ceramic body containing continuous pore channel. $MgAl_2O_4/MgO$ eutectic fibers and rods have been grown successfully by the micro-pulling-down method, and the microstructures and optical characterizations of grown crystals were performed. $MgAl_2O_4/MgO$ eutectic fibers of $0.3{\sim}1mm$ in diameter and about 500 mm in length, and the rods having 5 mm in diameter with approximately 60 mm in length have been grown with the $6{\sim}120mm/hr$ of growth speed. The eutectic fibers showed homogeneous microstructure in which MgO fiber aligned to the growth direction in the $MgAl_2O_4$ (spinel) matrix. The grown crystals looked semitransparency under naked eyes. Optical and orientational characterizations were performed. The second phase of MgO (periclase) was easily removed by selective etching with hydrochloric acid, and then porous bodies were obtained.

Luminous efficiency and uniformity in a LCD-BLU are mainly determined by fine scattering patterns formed on the light guide panel. We propose a novel fabrication method of 3-dimensional scattered patterns based on anisotropic etching of silicon wafers. Micro-pyramid patterns with 70.5 degree apex-angle and micro-prism patterns with 109.4 degree apex-angle can be self-constructed by the wet, anisotropic etching of (100) and (110) silicon wafers, respectively, and those patterns are easily duplicated by the PDMS replica process. Experimental results on spatial and angular distributions of irradiation from the light guide panel with the micro-pyramid patterns were very consistent with the calculation results. Surface roughness of the silicon-based micro-patterns is free from any artificial defects since the micro-patterns are inherently formed with silicon crystal surfaces. Therefore, we expect that the silicon based micro-patterning process makes it possible to fabricate perfect 3-dimensional micro-structures with crystal surface and apex angles, which may guarantee mass-reproduction of the light guide panels in LCD-BLU.

Vibrational micro-forming of pyramidal shape patterns was conducted for an Al superplastic alloy, Al 5083 and a Zr-based bulk metallic glass, $Zr_{62}Cu_{17}Ni_{13}Al_8$. A vibrational micro-forming system was specially designed for generating vibrational load by combining a PZT actuator with a signal generator. Single crystal Si micro dies with wet-etched pyramidal patterns were used as master dies for vibrational micro-forming. The micro-formed pattern height was increasing with increasing the frequency of the vibrational load. In particular, the vibrationally-microformed pattern height was similar or even higher than the statically-microformed pattern height when the load frequency exceeded about 125 kHz. It was also observed that the crystal grains affect the surface quality of the microformed pattern and the distribution of the pattern height in the die cavity array.

Recently, expansion of micro-technology parts requires micro-precision machining technology. Micro-groove machining is important to fabricate micro-grating lens and many micro-parts such as microscope lens, fluidic graphite channel etc. Conventional groove fabrication methods such as etching and lithography have some problems in efficiency and surface integrity. But, mechanical micromachining methods using single crystal diamond tools can reduce these problems in chemical process. For this reason, microfabrication methods are expected to be very efficient, and widely studied. This study deals with machinability in micro-precision V-grooves machining of nickel plated layer using non-rotational single crystal diamond tool and 3-axis micro stages. Micro V-groove shape, chip formation and tool wear were investigated for the analysis of machinability of Ni plated layer.

With different seed adhesion methods, we obtained two different aspects with or without micro-bubble in the interface between a seed and a dense graphite seed holder. To improve the quality of SiC wafer, we introduced a sucrose caramelizing step at the seed adhesion using the sucrose, The n-type 2 inch single crystal exhibiting the polytype of 6H-SiC were successfully fabricated and carrier concentration levels of about $10^{16}/cm^3$ was determined from Hall measurements, As compared to the characteristics of SiC crystal grown with micro-bubble in the interface between the seed and the dense graphite seed holder, the SiC crystal grown without micro-bubble definitely exhibited lower resistivity, lower micropipe density and higher mobility relatively.

Micro-defects in the undoped and MgO-doped $LiNbO_3$ single crystals, which were grown from a congruent melting composition (48.6 mol% $Li_2$O) by the CZ (Czochralski) method, were analyzed using microscopic techniques such as optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Effects of the dopant and g value (the fraction solidfied) on the domain structure and micro-defect were investigated to build a corelationship with a growth condition of crystal. It was observed that the micro-defect concentrated near the domain wall is caused by high stress. Especially, the micro-defect was observed to be biased toward a certain side of the domain wall.

Yb and Zn co-doped $LiNbO_3$ single crystal rods which had a diameter of 2 mm and a length of $15{\sim}25 mm$ were grown by micro-pulling down (${\mu}-PD$) method. The single crystals were successfully grown and had a uniform diameter and a smooth surface without crack. We realized of $LiNbO_3$ single crystals were hexagonal structure to compare with peaks of $LiNbO_3$ powder by Raman spectra. The threshold level of Zn concentration which is effective for optical damage were observed as about 1 mol% with IR transmission spectra.

We newly designed and manufactured a new arranging system for a three-dimensional artificial crystal of monosized micro particles. In this system, a robotic micro-manipulator accurately locates the spherical particle onto the lattice point, and subsequently fiber lasers micro-weld the contact points between the neighboring particles. Actually, one- and two-dimensional arrays were constructed using monosized tin particles with the diameter of 400 m. Moreover, due to optimization of the process parameters, we successfully constructed the artificial crystals of simple cubic and diamond structures. In particular, the diamond structure which can represent a large photonic band gap is expected to progress toward a practical photonic crystal device.
