제품의 고성능 사양을 위해 초미소 크기(Nano Size)의 구조를 갖는 제품들이 일상에서 자주 등장한다. 대표 제품은 주변에서 쉽게 접할 수 있는 전자제품의 반도체 칩이다. 반도체 칩 소자 구조는 크기를 줄이는 것 외에도 적층을 통해 소자의 집적도를 높이는 방향으로 진화를 하고 있다. 복잡한 구조로 인해 발생되는 여러 반도체 결함 중에 TSV 결함은 현재 진화하는 반도체 칩의 구조를 대변하는 대표 결함이다. 이 결함을 효율적으로 검출하고 다루기 위해서는 초미소 크기(Nano Size)의 결함을 비파괴적인 방법으로 가시화하고 분석하는 장비가 필요하다. X-ray 시스템은 이러한 요구를 해결하는 훌룡한 한 방법이다. 이 논문에서는 X-ray 시스템의 구성 및 위의 TSV 결함을 검출하고 분석하기 위한 시스템의 특징에 대해 설명을 한다. X-ray 시스템은 크게 X선을 발생시키는 X선튜브와 대상 물체를 투과한 X선을 영상화하는 디텍터, 대상물체의 영상화를 위해 물체를 적절하게 구동시키는 이동장치로 구성되어 있다. 초미소크기(Nano Size)의 결함 검출을 위해서는 X선 튜브, 디텍터, 이동장치에 요구되는 사양의 복잡도, 정밀도는 이러한 시스템의 개발을 어렵게 만든다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 시스템을 개발 시에 시스템 핵심 요소의 특징을 분석한다.

In this study, the optical properties of localized surface plasmon resonance sensor using optical fiber was analyzed as the variation of a size and surface density of gold nano particles on the etched optical fiber surface. It is shown that a size and surface density of gold nano particles on optical fiber surface are controlled by $Na_3$ citrate quantity and pH of gold colloid solution. To measure the sensitivity, peak wavelength of absorbance spectrum was detected as the reflective index of the solution. The sensor sensitivity is linearly dependent on the size and surface densities of gold nano particles from the results of optical experiments.

Monodispersed and nano-sized Ni powders were synthesized from aqueous nickel sulfate hexahydrate $(NiSO_4{\cdot}6H_2O)$ inside nonionic polymer network by using wet chemical reduction process. The sucrose was used as a nonionic polymer network source. The effect of reaction conditions such as the amount of sucrose and a various reaction temperature, nickel sulfate hexahydrate molarity. The influence of a nonionic polymer network on the particle size of the prepared Ni powders was characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and particle size analysis (PSA). The results showed that the obtained Ni powders were strong by dependent of the reaction conditions. In particular, the Ni powders prepared inside a nonionic polymer network had smooth spherical shape and narrow particle size distribution.

As Sensor plays an important part in day-to-day life. Sensors are used almost in each domain wherein humans are not able to sense or measure some parameters. Say from sensing a real-time activity of a person to sensing the tiny molecules of any gas or structures. Now sensors combined with advanced fabrication techniques with nanotechnology can be said as a game-changing combination. As the modern world is evolving every minute, the size of the components, instruments, and different equipment is shrinking rapidly. For example, the sensor or any other element which was used 10 years ago is reduced up to 5 times its original size and all of this is possible because of continuous advancement done in the manufacturing and fabrication techniques that are being used nowadays. Apart from this, it is not necessary that the term nano should only justify the size of the sensor. Nanotechnologically fabricated, refers to a sensor or any other element which may be large enough as compared to the regular one but they may be structured using some nano-particles.

In this study, we used not chemical and physical synthesis method but the solution plasma sputtering method in the synthesis of silver nano-particles. Synthesis of all the silver nano-particles was conducted for 1hour in 360 ml of distilled water and characteristics of changing the input voltage and frequency of the synthesised silver nano-particles by using the solution plasma sputtering method were analyzed through FE-SEM(Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscope). We changed the input voltage from 8 kV to 10 kV in steps of 1 kV, input frequency from 20 kHz to 30 kHz in steps of 5 kHz in the solution plasma reactor with the advanced device which can control the DC voltage and frequency. We confirmed that the size of silver nano-particles were larger according to the change of the input voltage and frequency.

In this paper, for the first time based on the nonlocal strain gradient theory the effect of size dependency in torsional vibration of bi-direction functionally graded (FG) nonlinear nano-cone is study. The material properties were assumed to vary according to the arbitrary function in radial and axial directions. The Navier equation and boundary conditions of the size-dependent bidirectional FG nonlinear nano-cone were derived by Hamilton's principle. These equations were solved by employing the generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM). The presented model can turn into the classical model if the material length scale parameters are taken to be zero. The effects of some parameters, such as inhomogeneity constant, cross-sectional area parameter and small-scale parameters, were studied. As an essential result of this study can be stated that an FG nano-cone model based on the nonlocal elasticity theory behaves softer and based on the strain gradient theory behaves harder.

The temporal and spatial variations of size-structured phytoplankton dynamics in Youngsan Lake were investigated to explore potential mechanims controlling the dynamics in the Youngsan Lake. Field data were collected monthly from February to October, 2003 at 6 stations along the axis of Youngsan Lake. In this study, phytoplankton (chlorophyll $\alpha$) were categorized into three size classes: micro-size ($>20{\mu}m$), nano-size ($2{\sim}20{\mu}m$) and pico-size ($<20{\mu}m$). Water temperature, light attenuation coefficients, PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) and suspended solids were measured to analyze relationship between physical-chemical properties and size structure of phytoplankton. Phytoplankton blooms developed during March, July and October in the upper region of the main stem whereas small-scaled spring bloom was observed in the lower region. The scales of phytoplankton blooms were higher in the upper regions than the lower region and blooms were predominated by micro-size class in upper region but predominated by nano-size class in lower region. Growth of size-structured phytoplankton appeared to be controlled by rather light availability than temperature-dependant metabolisms in the system. Phytoplankton growth may be also supported by ambient nutrients available in the water column from analyses of chlorophyll $\alpha$ vs. nutrient concentrations including nitrite+nitrate and orthophosphate. Growth of nano-sized phytoplankton alone appeared to be supported by orthophosphate as well as nitrite+nitrate indicating that response of phytoplankton to nutrient inputs may be size-dependent.

In this study, an aluminum oxide layer for sealing treatment of nano-diamond powder was synthesized by anodizing under constant current. The produced pore size and oxide thickness were investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The pore size increased as the treatment time increased, current density increased, sulfuric acid concentration decreased, which is different from the results under constant voltage, due to a dissolution of the oxide layers. The oxide layer thickness by the anodizing increased as temperature, time, and current density increased. The results of this study can be applied to optimize the sealing treatment process of nano-diamond particles of 4-10 nm to enhance the resistances of corrosion and wear of the matrix.

Almost monodisperse iron oxide nanoparticles with an average particle size ranging from 5 to 43 nm were fabricated using an environmentally friendly starting material, ferrous acetate. The smallest particles were formed in the presence of a reductant, 1,2-dodecanediol, while the particle size increased with increasing concentration of dispersing agents. The dispersants consisted of various combinations of oleic acid, oleylamine, trioctylphosphine, and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The threshold temperature to form crystalline particles was found to be $240^{\circ}C$. The 43 nm nanoparticles exhibited a room temperature saturation magnetization and coercivity of 57 emu/g and 47 Oe, respectively.

This experiment was conducted for the purpose of developing such a sensor that can quickly sense dopamine concentration by using chitosan-gold nanoshell. Chitosan nano particles were reacted with gold nano particles so as to synthesize chitosan-gold nanoshell, and the size of the synthesized product was about 150 nm. When dopamine was reacted with chitosan-gold nanoshell, the size of it was not definitely changed, but dopamine was well reacted with chitosan-gold nanoshell, and it generated SERS (surface-enhanced Raman scattering), which led to a clear difference in the intensity of Raman scattering within the range of dopamine concentration (1 mM-10 mM). When Raman scattering was intensity marked on chitosan-gold nanoshell by employing a calibration curve according to dopamine concentration, a straight line whose margin of error was narrow was earned.
