A fast and precise technique to make 3-dimensional object which is called direct metal shaping process is processed. It is very useful technique in design and inspection. Using this developed system, a solid object is made. In experiment, test parts are built by varying three factors, laser power, scan path, scan speed. This process used device, which is different from the widely used in rapid prototyping in that powder feeding device is used. Spraying powder directly at the focused laser beam and then three dimensional object is made by the deposit of melted metal powder. The optimum scanning path is found to be zigzag path, which had little thermal affection on base metal. As a result of these experiments, it was found that optimum scanning speed is 15mm/sec laser power is 50W. This constructed 3-dimensional object could be used in mold manufacturing directly.

Dinickel-silicide $(Ni_2Si)/glass$ was employed as a counter electrode for a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) device. $Ni_2Si$ was formed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at $700^{\circ}C$ for 15 seconds of a 50 nm-Ni/50 nm-Si/glass structure. For comparison, $Ni_2Si$ on quartz was also prepared through conventional electric furnace annealing (CEA) at $800^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. XRD, XPS, and EDS line scanning of TEM were used to confirm the formation of $Ni_2Si$. TEM and CV were employed to confirm the microstructure and catalytic activity. Photovoltaic properties were examined using a solar simulator and potentiostat. XRD, XPS, and EDS line scanning results showed that both CEA and RTA successfully led to tne formation of nano $thick-Ni_2Si$ phase. The catalytic activity of $CEA-Ni_2Si$ and $RTA-Ni_2Si$ with respect to Pt were 68 % and 56 %. Energy conversion efficiencies (ECEs) of DSSCs with $CEA-Ni_2Si$ and $RTA-Ni_2Si$catalysts were 3.66 % and 3.16 %, respectively. Our results imply that nano-thick $Ni_2Si$ may be used to replace Pt as a reduction catalytic layer for a DSSCs. Moreover, we show that nano-thick $Ni_2Si$ can be made available on a low-cost glass substrate via the RTA process.

본 논문에서는 N-type 기판에서 Nickel-Silicide를 적용하였을 경우에 나타나는 문제점과 PAI (Pre-amorphization Implant)의 효과에 대하여 알아보았다. N-type 기판에 RTP (Rapid Thermal Process)를 통하여 Nickel-Silicide 를 형성하게 되는데, 여기까지는 안정한 Nickel mono-Silicide (NiSi)가 형성됨을 확인하였다. 하지만 후속 열처리 공정 후 심한 응집 현상 (Agglomeration)과 이상 산화 현상 (Abnormal Oxidation Phenomenon), Silicide Island 등 열안정성 (Thermal Stability) 측면에서 여러 가지 많은 문제점들이 나타났다. 이 후속 열처리의 열안정성 취약점들을 극복하는 방안으로 Ge 및 N₂ PAI를 적용하였다. PAI를 적용하였을 경우에는 그렇지 않은 경우에 비하여 고온 열처리 후에도 면저항이 비교적 잘 유지되었으며, 두께가 얇고 안정한 Nickel-Silicide 특성을 확보할 수 있었다. 특히 Ge PAI 에 비하여 N₂ PAI 의 경우가 보다 특성 개선 효과가 크게 나타났다.

This paper proposes a 10-${\mu}m$ thick oxide layer structure that can be used as a substrate for RF circuits. The structure has been fabricated using an anodic reaction and complex oxidation, which is a combined process of low-temperature thermal oxidation (500 $^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr at $H_2O/O_2$) and a rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) process (1050 ${\circ}C$, for 1 min). The electrical characteristics of the oxidized porous silicon layer (OPSL) were almost the same as those of standard thermal silicon dioxide. The leakage current density through the OPSL of 10 ${\mu}m$ was about 10 to 50 $nA/cm^2$ in the range of 0 to 50 V. The average value of the breakdown field was about 3.9 MV/cm. From the X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, surface and internal oxide films of OPSL prepared by a complex process were confirmed to be completely oxidized. The role of the RTO process was also important for the densification of the porous silicon layer (PSL) oxidized at a lower temperature. The measured working frequency of the coplanar waveguide (CPW) type short stub on an OPSL prepared by the complex oxidation process was 27.5 GHz, and the return loss was 4.2 dB, similar to that of the CPW-type short stub on an OPSL prepared at a temperature of 1050 $^{\circ}C$ (1 hr at $H_2O/O_2$). Also, the measured working frequency of the CPW-type open stub on an OPSL prepared by the complex oxidation process was 30.5 GHz, and the return was 15 dB at midband, similar to that of the CPW-type open stub on an OPSL prepared at a temperature of $1050^{\circ}C$ (1 hr at $H_2O/O_2$).

Fluid cooling is one of the manufacturing processes used to control mechanical properties, and is recently used for hot stamping of automobile parts. The formed part at room temperature is heated and then cooled rapidly using various fluids in order to obtain better mechanical properties. The formed part may undergo excessive thermal deformation during rapid cooling. In order to predict the thermal deformation during fluid cooling, a coupled simulation of different fields is needed. In this study, cooling simulation of boron steel square sheet was performed. Material properties for the simulation were calculated from JMatPro, and three convection heat transfer coefficients such as water, oil and air were obtained from the experiments. It was found that the thermal deformation increased when the difference of cooling rate of sheet face increased, and the thermal deformation increased when the thickness of sheet decreased.

A deep understanding of the metallic silver catalysts formation process on oxide support and the formation mechanism is of great scientific and practical meaning for exploring better catalyst preparing procedures. Herein the thermal decomposition process of supported silver catalyst with silver oxalate as the silver precursor in the presence of ethylenediamine and ethanolamine is carefully investigated by employing a variety of characterization techniques including thermal analysis, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The formation mechanism of supported silver particles was revealed. Results showed that formation of metallic silver begins at about $100^{\circ}C$ and activation process is essentially complete below $145^{\circ}C$. Formation of silver was accompanied by decomposition of oxalate group and removal of organic amines. Catalytic performance tests using the epoxidation of ethylene as a probe reaction showed that rapid activation (for 5 minutes) at a relatively low temperature ($170^{\circ}C$) afforded materials with optimum catalytic performance, since higher activation temperatures and/or longer activation times resulted in sintering of the silver particles.

Generally, the build-up printed circuit board manufactured by a sequential process involving etching, plating, drilling, etc, which requires many types of equipments and long lead time. Etching process is suitable for mass production, however, it is not adequate for manufacturing a prototype in the development stage. In this study, we introduce a screen printing technology for prototyping a build-up printed circuit board. As for the material, photo/thermal curable resin and conductive paste are used for the formation of dielectric and conductor. The build-up structure is made by subsequent processes such as formation of a liquid resin thin layer, solidification by a UV/IR light, and via hole filling with a conductive paste. By use of photo curable resin, productivity is greatly enhanced compared with thermal curable resin. Finally, the basic concept and the possibility of build-up printed circuit board prototyping are proposed in comparison with the conventional process.

Amorphous Si (a-Si) thin films of $p^+/p^-/n^+$ were deposited on $Si_3N_4$/glass substrate by using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method. These films were annealed at various temperatures and for various times by using a rapid thermal process (RTP) equipment. This step was added before the main thermal treatment to make the nuclei in the a-Si thin film for reducing the process time of the crystallization. The main heat treatment for the crystallization was performed at the same condition of $600^{\circ}C$/18 h in conventional furnace. The open-circuit voltages ($V_{oc}$) were remained about 450 mV up to the nucleation condition of 16min in the nucleation RTP temperature of $680^{\circ}C$. It meat that the process time for the crystallization step could be reduced by adding the nucleation step without decreasing the electrical property of the thin film Si for the solar cell application.

We investigated the reaction stability of titanium, cobalt and their bilayer films with side-wall spacer materials of SiO$_2$ for the salicide process. We prepared Ti 350 $\AA$, Co 150 $\AA$, Co 150 $\AA$/Ti 100 $\AA$ and Ti 100 $\AA$/Co 150 $\AA$ films on 1000 $\AA$-thick thermally grown SiO$_2$ substrates, respectively. Then the samples were rapid thermal annealed at the temperatures of $500^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, and $700^{\circ}C$ for 20 seconds. We characterized the sheet resistance of the metallic layers with a four-point probe, surface roughness with scanning probe microscope, residual phases with an Auger depth profilometer, phase identification with a X-ray diffractometer, and cross-sectional microstructure evolution with a transmission electron microscope, respectively. We report that Ti reacted with silicon dioxide spacers above $700^{\circ}C$, Co agglomerated at $600^{\circ}C$, and Co/Ti, Ti/Co formed CoTi compound requiring a special wet process.
