We designed and synthesized new type of nonchemically amplified polymeric and molecular resists and studied their lithographic performance. The polymeric resists [poly(DOBEMA-co-GBLMA)] show very high degree of photobleaching at 248 nm and moderate to good degree of photobleaching at 193 nm. The molecular resist (CDEOPE-POSS) shows high degree of photobleaching at 248 nm and modetate degree of photobleaching at 193 nm. CDEOPE-POSS possesses very high oxygen reactive ion etching resistance, which makes it suitable to be used as a bilayer resist. The lithographic studies of these resist materials suggest the feasibility of these materials to be used as single and bilayer resists.

A small size cartrideg for FET type electrolyte sensor is designed and faricated with much simplified process by using micromachining tenchiques such as silicon etching andglass bonding. Size of the whole cartideg is 2.4cm*2.5cm, and the dead volume of a micro flow-channel in the cartrideg is only 8.5.mu.l. The photosensitive polymer(THB 30) is used to define a micropool and to encapsulate the sensor surface for standardizationof electrolyte sensors. To miniaturize micro flow-channel conventional reference electrode(Ag/AgCl) a differential amplification is introduced using REFET and quasi reference electrode. Refet was fabricated using photosensitive polymer(OMR 83). The fabricated cartridge with built-in pH-ISFET showed good operational characteristics such as linearity and high sensitivity (55.4mV/pH) in a wide pH range(pH2-pH12).

In this paper, we demonstrate a polarization independent optical phase modulator using electro-optic polymer, P2ANS. To overcome the intrinsic polarization dependency of electro-optic effect, we control the optic axis using a new electrode structure. P2ANS(42:75) and P2ANS(25:75) are used for the core layer and the cladding layer, respectively. The buried-type single mode waveguide is fabricated by oxygen ion reactive etching and electic poling is performed by applying 1, 200V at 135$^{\circ}C$. The measured V$_{\pi}$ of the device for both TE and TM modes are 70V.

Radiation damage and contamination of silicons etched in the $CF_4+H_2$ and $CHF_3$ magnetron discharges have been characterized using Schottky diode characteristics, TEM, AES, and SIMS as a function of applied magnetic field strength. It turned out that, as the magnetic field strength increased, the radiation damage measured by cross sectional TEM and by leakage current of Schottky diodes decreased colse to that of wet dtched samples especially for $CF_4$ plasma etched samples, For $CF_4+H_2$and $CHF_3$ etched samples, hydrogen from the plasmas introduced extended defects to the silicon and this caused increased leakage current to the samples etched at low magnetic field strength conditions by hydrogen passivation. The thickness of polymer with the increasing magnetic field strength and showed the minimum polymer residue thickness near the 100Gauss where the silicon etch rate was maximum. Also, other contaminants such as target material were found to be minimum on the etched silicon surface near the highest etch rate condition.

To fabricate uniform and reliable thin gold stripes that provide low-loss optical waveguides, we developed a novel liftoff process placing an additional $SiN_x$ layer under conventional photoresists. By patterning a photoresist and over-etching the $SiN_x$, the photoresist patterns become free-standing structures on a lower-cladding. This leads to uniform metal stripes with good reproducibility and effectively removes parasitic structures on the edge of the metal stripe in the image reversal photolithography process. By applying the newly developed process to polymer-based gold stripe waveguide fabrication, we improved the propagation losses about two times compared with that incurred by the conventional image-reversal process.

A polymeric waveguide-type wavelength filter based on a Bragg grating has been proposed and fabricated using the simple nanoimpring technique, for the first time to our knowledge. An ultraviolet transparent stamp with the single-mode waveguide pattern incorporating a surface-relief-type Bragg grating was specially designed selective dry-etching process. Using this stamp, the device fabrication was substantially involving just a single-step process of imprint followed by polymer spin-coating. The achieved maximum reflection was higher than 25 dB at the center wavelength of 1569 nm. And the 3-dB bandwidth was 0.8 nm for the device length of 1.5 cm.

Although imprinted nanopatterns of organic polymer can be modified by the heat treatment [1], it generally requires high process temperatures and is material-dependent since the heat-induced mass loss of the organic polymer is greatly affected by its chemical characteristics. When oxygen is added during the annealing process, one can reduce the process temperature as well as the dependence of the materials. With the oxygen, line width reduction of a polymer (SU-8) patterns could be accomplished at temperature of as low as $250^{\circ}C$ which was not possible in the heat only process. This oxidative line width reduction can be dramatically promoted with the introduction of oxygen plasma. The oxygen plasma, with its highly-reactive oxygen species, vigorously etches away the organic materials, proven to be extremely effective line with reduction method. It is, however, very hard to control the extent and homogeneity of the etching, particularly of very fine patterns. Here, we report an effective and reliable line width reduction method of imprinted nanopatterns by combined plasma and heat treatment. The merits of this process include the reduction of process temperature, time and material-dependence.

Barrier ribs in plasma display panels (PDPs) function to maintain the discharge space between the glass plates as well as to prevent optical cross-talking. The barrier ribs currently employed are typically $300{\mu}m$ pitch, $110{\sim}120{\mu}m$ in height, with upper and lower widths of $50{\mu}m$ and $80{\mu}m$, respectively. It has been reported that barrier ribs can be fabricated by screen-printing, sand blasting, etching and photolithographic processes. In this study, photosensitive barrier rib pastes were formulated and systematically evaluated in terms of photolithographic process variables such as printing, drying, UV exposure, development and sintering. It was found that the use of UV absorbent, polymerization inhibitor and surfactant were very effective in controlling the width uniformity of barrier ribs in the photolithographic method of barrier rib patterning.
