Bender elements, composed of thin piezo-ceramics and elastic shims, have been used to measure shear wave velocities of specimens in laboratories. In a preliminary stage of their field applications, an in-house research of optimizing suitable bender elements and geometrical arrangement has been carried out in a barrel of kaolinite-water mixture. Two types of measurement configuration, similar to cross-hole and in-hole seismic testing, has been implemented. A pair of prototype instrumented rods was penetrated into a soft clay layer in the west coast and excellent shear waves were recorded. Development of penetration device(mandrel) and associated instrumented rods are in progress for deeper investigation.

In this study, we developed FE-tip lithography system that could apply to multi-tip system and did lithography using FE-tip. The software that control FE-tip lithography system, was proposed for acquiring more adaptive data to compensate the effect of fluctuation. We found that the fluctuation effect was reduced. The minimum line width was related to applied voltage and we observed a movement of Z-axis piezo stage to correct the error of this system. When FE current was 5nA, scanning speed was $3{\mu}m/sec$ and applied voltage was 200V, we made a line pattern which had minimum line width of 614 nm. If we reduce applied voltage to several decades and increase scanning speed to $20{\mu}m/sec$, it is possible to set the minimum line width of 100 nm. The proposed system can be easily applied to multi FE-tip lithography system.

The shape and size variations of the nanopatterns produced on a positive photoresist using a near-field scanning optical microscope(NSOM) are investigated with respect to the process variables. A cantilever type nanoprobe having a 100nm aperture at the apex of the pyramidal tip is used with the NSOM and a He-Cd laser at a wavelength of 442nm as the illumination source. Patterning characteristics are examined for different laser beam power at the entrance side of the aperture( $P_{in}$ ), scan speed of the piezo stage(V), repeated scanning over the same pattern, and operation modes of the NSOM(DC and AC modes). The pattern size remained almost the same for equal linear energy density. Pattern size decreased for lower laser beam power and greater scan speed, leading to a minimum pattern width of around 50nm at $P_{in}$ =1.2$\mu$W and V=12$\mu$m/. Direct writing of an arbitrary pattern with a line width of about 150nm was demonstrated to verify the feasibility of this technique for nanomask fabrication. Application on high-density data storage using azopolymer is discussed at the end.

A cylindrical constant-volume combustion chamber was used to investigate the flow characteristics at the spark electrode gap and the combustion characteristics of an inhomogeneous charge methane-air mixture under several parameters such as stratified pattern, initial charge pressure, ignition time and the excess air ratio of the initial charge mixture. Flow characteristics including mean velocity and turbulence intensity were analyzed by a hot-wire anemometer. The combustion pressure development, measured by a piezo-electric pressure transducer, was used to investigate the effect of initial charge pressure, excess air ratio and ignition times on combustion pressure and combustion duration. It was found that the mean velocity and turbulence intensity had the maximum value around 200-300 ms and then decreased gradually to near-zero value at 3000 ms. For the stratified patterns, the combustion rate under the rich injection (RI) condition was the fastest. Under the initial charge conditions, the second mixture was accompanied by an increase in the combustion rate, and that the higher the mass which is added in the second stage injection, the faster the combustion rate.

Photonic force microscopy (PFM) is an optical tweezers-based scanning probe microscopy, which measures the forces in the range of fN to pN. The low stiffness leads proper to measure single molecular interaction. We introduce a novel photonic force microscopy to stably map various chemical properties as well as topographic information, utilizing weak molecular bond between probe and object's surface. First, we installed stable optical tweezers instrument, where an IR laser with 1064 nm wavelength was used as trapping source to reduce damage to biological sample. To manipulate trapped material, electric driven two-axis mirrors were used for x, y directional probe scanning and a piezo stage for z directional probe scanning. For resolution test, probe scans with vertical direction repeatedly at the same lateral position, where the vertical resolution is ~25 nm. To obtain the topography of surface which is etched glass, trapped bead scans 3-dimensionally and measures the contact position in each cycle. To acquire the chemical mapping, we design the DNA oligonucleotide pairs combining as a zipping structure, where one is attached at the surface of bead and other is arranged on surface. We measured the rupture force of molecular bonding to investigate chemical properties on the surface with various loading rate. We expect this system can realize a high-resolution multi-functional imaging technique able to acquire topographic map of objects and to distinguish difference of chemical properties between these objects simultaneously.

This paper presents a micro-positioning platform based on the unique parallel mechanism recently developed by the authors. The platform has a meso-scale rectangular shape whose size is $20{\times}23m$. The stroke is 5 mm for both the x- and y-axis and 100 degrees for the ${\alpha}$-axis(the rotational axis along the x-axis). The platform is actuated by the three sets of two-stage linear actuators: a linear motor for rough positioning and a piezo actuator for fine positioning. The platform is already assembled. Experimental results of the positioning measurements and control performance are presented.

After introducing Hybrid Bonding technology into image sensors using stacked sensors and image processors, large quantity production became possible. As a result, it is currently used in most of the CMOS image market in smartphones and other image-based devices worldwide, and almost all stacked CIS manufacturing sites have focused on miniaturization using hybrid bonding. In this study, an upper wafer handling module for Wafer to Wafer Hybrid Bonding developed to increase the alignment and precision between wafers when wafer bonding. The module was divided two parts to reduce error of both the alignment and degree of precision during wafer bonding. Wafer handling module developed both new Tip/Tilt system controlling θx,θy of upper wafer and striker to push upper wafer. Based on this, it was confirmed through the stability evaluation that the upper wafer handling module can be controlled without any problem during W2W hybrid bonding.

본 연구에서는 레버 증폭 구조를 이용한 플렉서 기반의 나노 스테이지를 설계, 제작하였다. 제작된 나노 스테이지를 샘플 스테이지로 채용한 공초점현미경을 개발하였다. 2차원 이미징의 구현을 위해서, 기존의 공초점현미경은 레이저를 이미징 평면상에 스캐닝하는 방식으로 구현된다. 본 연구에서는 백 나노미터의 구동정밀도를 가지는 나노 스테이지 위에 놓인 샘플을 2차원으로 스캐닝하면서 2차원 이미지를 구현할 수 있는 공초점현미경을 개발하였다. 플렉서 기반의 나노 스테이지는 이중 판스프링, 변위증폭 레버, PZT 엑추에이터 그리고 변위 센서로 구성 되어 있다. 스테이지의 구동 성능 해석을 위해 상용 유한요소 해석 프로그램을 이용하였다. 현미경에 사용되는 광원은 적색광 레이저이며, 레이저는 여러 광학요소를 거쳐 샘플스테이지의 샘플에 입사되고, 반사된 빛은 광센서인 PMT(Photo Multiplying Tube)로 계측되게 된다. 계측된 빛의 크기를 이용하여서 2차원 이미징을 구현하였다. 개발된 공초점 현미경으로 생쥐 귀의 피부조직을 관찰하여 현미경의 이미징 성능을 검증하였다. 설계된 샘플 스테이지는 기존의 공초점 현미경의 기계적인 Beam 스캐너를 대신함으로써 현미경의 광경로 및 전체시스템을 간소화 하였다.

USM의 전기 기계적인 변환은 USM의 고정자에 정렬된 PZT트랜듀서를 구동하기 위한 2-상 고주파 전력 변환부와 고정자와 회전자 사이에 마찰력을 변환하는 기계적인 트러로써 나눠지며 이러한 구조특성 때문에 온도에 의한 비선형 특성이 내포하게 된다. 초음파 모터의 외함의 온도가 +2$0^{\circ}C$~3$0^{\circ}C$에서는 정상적인 특성을 나타내지만 장시간의 운전에 의한 모터의 마찰열에 의해 온도증가는 구동주파수, 구동전류, 속도의 감소를 가져온다. 현재 사용되고 있는 초음파 모터는 온도에 대한 보상이 이뤄지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 퍼지제어 기법을 통해 초음파 모터의 운전중 외함의 온도증가에 따른 속도 보상용 시스템을 제안한다.
