Tn this paper, PCB (Printed Circuit Board) embedded $BaTiO_3$ MIM capacitors were designed, fabricated, and characterized for low cost organic SOP applications by using 3-D EM simulator and low temperature processes. Size of electrodes and thickness of high dielectric films are optimized for improving the performance characteristics of the proposed embedded MIM capacitors at high frequency regime. The selected thicknesses of the $BaTiO_3$ film are $12{\mu}m$, $16{\mu}m$, and $20{\mu}m$. The fabricated MIM capacitor with dielectric constant of 30 and thickness of $12{\mu}m$ has capacitance density of $21.5p\;F/mm^2$ at 100MHz, maximum quality factor of 37.4 at 300 MHz, a quality factor of 30.9 at 1GHz, self resonant frequency of 5.4 GHz, respectively. The measured capacitances and quality factors are well matched with 3-D EM simulated ones. These embedded capacitors are promising for SOP based advanced electronic systems with various functionality, low cost, small size and volume.

Dye-sensitized solar cell using conversion of solar energy to electrical energy appeared that which solves a environmental matter. The dye-sensitized solar cell uses nano-crystalline oxide semiconductor for absorbing dye. The $TiO_2$ is used most plentifully. The efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell changes consequently in the particle size, morphology, crystallization and surface state of the $TiO_2$. In this paper, we report The effect of titania$(TiO_2)$ thickness on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells. Using doctor blade method, It produced the thickness of the $TiO_2$ with $7\;{\mu}m,\;10\;{\mu}m,\;13\;{\mu}m$. The efficiency was the best from $10{\mu}m$. It had relatively low efficiency on the thickness from $7\;{\mu}m\;to\;13\;{\mu}m$. The reason why it presents low efficiency on $7\;{\mu}m$ thickness is that excited electrons can not be delivered enough due to thin thickness of $7\;{\mu}m\;TiO_2$. And The reason why it presents low efficiency on $13\;{\mu}m$ thickness is that thick $13\;{\mu}m\;TiO_2$ can not penetrate the sunlight enough.

We have successfully synthesized $Bi_{4-x}La_xTi_3O_{12}$ (x~2) having Aurivillius-type layered perovskite structure from exfoliated layered perovskite oxide of $K_2La_2Ti_3O_{10}$ with Ruddlesden-Popper structure. The reaction between the exfoliated lanthanum titanate nanosheets and BiOCl nanocrystal resulted in the formation of polycrystalline $Bi_{4-x}La_xTi_3O_{12}$ (x~2) after heating above $700^{\circ}C$. Colloidal suspension of the nanosheets could be obtained by intercalating ethylamine (EA) into the protonated lanthanum titanate, $H_2La_2Ti_3O_{10}$, derived from $K_2La_2Ti_3O_{10}$. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analysis show that the exfoliated lanthanium titanate nanosheets have a thickness of a few nano meters. According to X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the exfoliated lanthanium titanate was found to be transformed into $Bi_{4-x}La_xTi_3O_{12}$ (x~2) after restacking with BiOCl and subsequent thermal treatment at > $700^{\circ}C$.

최근 고용량의 디커플링 캐패시터를 기판에 내장하여 고주파 발생의 원인인 배선길이와 실장 면적을 획기적으로 줄이는 임베디드 디커플링 캐패시터에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 공정들은 높은 공정온도와 같은 공정상의 한계를 가지고 있어 상온 저 진공 분위기에서 세라믹 분말을 기판에 고속 분사시켜 기공과 균열이 거의 없는 치밀한 나노구조의 세라믹 제작이 가능한 후막코팅기술인 Aerosol Deposition Method (ADM)에 착목하였으며, 이 ADM을 박막공정으로 응용하여 $BaTiO_3$ 박막을 제작하고 고용량의 디커플링 캐패시터 제작을 실현하고자 한다. 하지만, Cu 기판 상에 성막 된 $0.5\;{\mu}m$이하의 $BaTiO_3$ 박막에서는 $BaTiO_3$ 분말 내에 존재하는 평균입자 보다 큰 입자와 응집분말로 인해 발생하는 pore, crater, not-fully-crushed particles와 같은 거시적인 결함들에서의 전류 통전과 울퉁불퉁한 $BaTiO_3$ 박막과 기판 사이의 계면에서의 전계의 집중에 의한 전류의 증가로 인하여 큰 누설전류 발생하는 문제에 봉착하였다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 제시된 효과적인 방법으로 Stainless steel 기판과 같이 표면경도가 높은 기판을 사용하는 것이며, 이를 통해 $0.2\;{\mu}m$의 두께까지 유전 $BaTiO_3$ 박막을 성막 할 수 있었으며, 치밀한 표면 미세구조와 줄어든 $BaTiO_3$ 박막과 기판 사이의 계면의 거칠기를 확인하였다. 하지만, $BaTiO_3$ 박막 내에 발생하는 누설전류의 근본원인을 확인하기 위해서는 누설전류에 대한 미시적인 접근이 더욱 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 누설전류 발생원인의 미시적 접근을 위해 두께에 따른 $BaTiO_3$ 박막의 누설전류 전도기구에 대한 조사하였으며, 이를 통해 $BaTiO_3$ 박막내 발생하는 누설전류의 원인은 $BaTiO_3$막 내에서 donor로서 역할을 하는 oxygen vacancy와 불균일한 전계의 집중으로 인한 전자의 tunneling 현상임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, Nano-indenter와 Conductive atomic force microscopic를 이용한 정밀 측정을 통해 표면경도의 중요성을 재확인하였으며 $BaTiO_3$ 박막의 두께가 $0.2\;{\mu}m$이하로 더욱 얇아지게 되면 입자간 결합 문제 또한 ADM을 박막화 하는데 있어 중요한 요소임을 확인하였다.

Nanotubular structure formation on the Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-Ta alloy surfaces by electrochemical methods has been studied using the anodizing method. A nanotube layer was formed on Ti alloys in 1.0 M $H_3PO_4$ electrolyte with small additions of $F^-$ ions. The nanotube nucleation and growth of the ${\alpha}$-phase and ${\beta}$-phase appeared differently, and showed different morphology for Cp-Ti, Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-Ta alloys. In the ${\alpha}$-phase of Cp-Ti and martensite ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ and in the ${\alpha}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$ and ${\beta}$-phase of the Ti-Ta alloy, the nanotube showed a clearly highly ordered $TiO_2$ layer. In the case of the Ti-Ta alloy, the pore size of the nanotube was smaller than that of the Cp-Ti due to the ${\beta}$-stabilizing Ta element. In the case of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the ${\alpha}$-phase showed a stable porous structure; the ${\beta}$-phase was dissolved entirely. The nanotube with two-size scale and high order showed itself on Ti-Ta alloys with increasing Ta content.

In this paper, the flexible piezoelectric nanocomposite generator(NCG) device based on $BaTiO_3$ nanostructures was fabricated via simple and low-cost spin coating method. The $BaTiO_3$ nanostructures synthesized by self-assembly reaction showed dendrite morphologies. To produce the piezoelectric nanocomposite(p-NC layer) which acts as an electric energy source in NCG device, the piezoelectric nanopowders($BaTiO_3$) were dispersed in polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS). Sequently, the p-NC layer was inserted in two dielectric layer of PDMS; these layers enabled the NCG device flexibility as well as durability prohibiting detachment(exfoliation) for significantly mechanical bending motions. The fabricated NCG device shows average maximum open circuit voltage of 6.2 V and average maximum current signals of 300 nA at 20 wt% composition of $BaTiO_3$ nanostructures in p-NC layer. Finally, the flexible energy harvester generates stable output signals at any rate of frequency which were used to operate LCD device without any external energy supply.

We fabricates the $TiO_2$ thin film from anatase phase $TiO_2$ powder having good photocatalytic property using aerosol deposition method at room temperature. Aerosol deposition method, which sprays an aerosol powder with ultrasonic velocity and deposits a thin film on substrate at low temperature, has the advantages of low thermal stress and low cost. To fabricate the $TiO_2$ thin film, the aerosol bath pressure and chamber pressure were 500 torr and 0.4 torr, respectively. The difference of aerosol bath pressure and chamber pressure accelerated the $TiO_2$ nano powder to ultrasonic velocity through the nozzle of $0.4 mm{\times}10 mm$ and $TiO_2$ thin film was finally formed. SS mesh with diameter of 50 mm was used as a substrate to apply the $TiO_2$ thin film to water quality purification. The raw powder was dehydrated for the good dispersion of $TiO_2$ powder. To suppress the formation of second particle, the powder was dispersed for 90 min in alcohol bath by ultrasonic treatment and desiccated. The grain size of $1 {\mu}m$ was observed in $TiO_2$ thin film deposited on SUS mesh by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The anatase phase of $TiO_2$ thin film was also observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the anatase phase of raw powder was nicely maintained after aerosol deposition. The results are applicable to water treatment filter having photocatalytic reaction.

Spherical Ti-6Al-4V powders in the size range of 250 and 300 ${\mu}m$ were uniformly doped with nano-sized hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders by Spex milling process. A single pulse of 0.75-2.0 kJ/0.7 g of the Ti-6Al-4V powders doped with HAp from 300 mF capacitor was applied to produce fully porous and porous-surfaced Ti-6Al-4V implant compact by electro-discharge-sintering (EDS). The solid core was automatically formed in the center of the compact after discharge and porous layer consisted of particles connected in three dimensions by necks. The solid core increased with an increase in input energy. The compressive yield strength was in a range of 41 to 215 MPa and significantly depended on input energy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer were used to investigate the surface characteristics of the Ti-6Al-4V compact. Ti and O were the main constituents, with smaller amount of Ca and P. It was thus concluded that the porous-surfaced Ti-6Al-4V implant compacts doped with HAp can be efficiently produced by manipulating the milling and electro-discharge-sintering processes.
