  • Future MEMS systems will be composed of larger varieties of devices with very different functionality such as electronics, mechanics, optics and bio-chemistry. Integration technology of heterogeneous devices must be developed. This article first deals with the current development trend of new fabrication technologies; those include self-assembling of parts over a large area, wafer-scale encapsulation by wafer-bonding, nano imprinting, and roll-to-roll printing. In the latter half of the article, the concept towards the heterogeneous integration of devices and functionality into micro/nano systems is described. The key idea is to combine the conventional top-down technologies and the novel bottom-up technologies for building nano systems. A simple example is the carbon nano tube interconnection that is grown in the via-hole of a VLSI chip. In the laboratory level, the position-specific self-assembly of nano parts on a DNA template was demonstrated through hybridization of probe DNA segments attached to the parts. Also, bio molecular motors were incorporated in a micro fluidic system and utilized as a nano actuator for transporting objects in the channel.

  • PMMA light guiding plate with nano pattern was fabricated by nano imprinting technology. Silicon mold was fabricated by conventional photolithography. A nickel stamper was fabricated by electroplating process using silicon mold. Nano imprinting was performed on PMMA plate at $140^{\circ}C$ under pressure of 20kN. The nano pattern on PMMA plate was investigated using FE-SEM.

  • In this study, we demonstrated the release behavior of carvedilol with the content of polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 (PVP K-30) and the effect of citric acid and fumaric acid as acidifiers on the release behavior of drug. In addition, it tries to inquire into the release behavior difference of the carvedilol according to the manufacturing method. The release behavior of the tablets was compared with Dilatrand$^{(R)}$ in the simulated gastric fluid (pH1.2). Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were characterized for the physicochemical properties of the tablets. In case of mixing the carvedilol and PVP K-30, in case the ratio of the carvedilol and PVP K-30 was 1:5, the release behavior was the highest among. As well as the dissolution rate of tablets manufactured by lyophilization and rotary evaporator was higher than physical mixture. The dissolution rate of containing acidifiers was more improved. But, rather the excessive amount of the acidifier addition reduced the dissolution rate.

  • Synthesis of nano-silica using water glass in a Sol-Gel process is one of several methods to manufacture nano-silica. In nano-silica synthesized from water glass, there are various metal impurities. However, synthesis of nano-silica using water glass in a Sol-Gel process is an interesting method because it is relatively simple and cheap. In this study, nano-silica was synthesized from water glass; we investigated the effect of pH on the synthesis of nano-silica. The morphology of the nanosilica with pH 2 was flat, but the surface of the nano-silica with pH 10 had holes similar to small craters. As a result of ICP-OES analysis, the amount of Na in the nano-silica with pH 2 was found to be 170 mg/kg. On the other hand, the amount of Na in the nano-silica with pH 10 was found to be 56,930 mg/kg. After calcination, the crystal structure of the nano-silica with pH 2 was amorphous. The crystal structure of the nano-silica with pH 10 transformed from amorphous to tridymite. This is because elemental Na in the nano-silica had the effect of decreasing the phase transformation temperature.

  • In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) optical fiber tip sensor fabricated by a blade-sawing technique using a fiber optic patch cord for high-resolution temperature measurement. The sensor head consists of a short air FP cavity near the tip of a single-mode fiber patch cord tip. The temperature which we can measure is determined through a phase variation of the interference fringes in the reflective spectrum of the sensor. The fiber optic FPI sensor in this work can monitor the environmental temperature very accurately from 40 to $120^{\circ}C$. As a result, the temperature sensitivity is obtained as $38.2pm/^{\circ}C$.
