Ultrasonic soldering of Si-wafer to FR-4 PCB at ambient temperature was investigated. The UBM of Si-substrate was Cu/ Ni/ Al from top to bottom with thickness of $0.4{\mu}m,\;0.4{\mu}m$, and $0.3{\mu}m$ respectively. The pad on FR-4 PCB comprised of Au/ Ni/ Cu from top to bottom with thickness of $0.05{\mu}m,\;5{\mu}m$, and $18{\mu}m$ respectively. Sn-3.5wt%Ag foil rolled to $100{\mu}m$ was used for solder. The ultrasonic soldering time was varied from 0.5 s to 3.0 s and the ultrasonic power was 1,400 W. The experimental results show that a reliable bond by ultrasonic soldering at ambient temperature was obtained. The shear strength increased with soldering time up to a maximum of 65 N at 2.5 s. The strength decreased to 34 N at 3.0 s because cracks were generated along the intermetallic compound between Si-wafer and Sn-3.5wt%Ag solder. The Intermetallic compound produced by ultrasonic soldering between the Si-wafer and the solder was $(Cu,Ni)_{6}Sn_{5}$.

SiC direct bonding technology is very attractive for both SiCOI(SiC-on-insulator) electric devices and SiC-MEMS applications because of its application possibility in harsh environments. This paper presents on pre-bonding according to HF pre-treatment conditions in SiC wafer direct bonding using PECVD oxide. The characteristics of bonded sample were measured under different bonding conditions of HF concentration, and applied pressure. The 3C-SiC epitaxial films grown on Si(100) were characterized by AFM and XPS, respectively. The bonding strength was evaluated by tensile strength method. Components existed in the interlayer were analyzed by using FT-IR. The bond strength depends on the HF pre-treatment condition before pre-bonding (Min : 5.3 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$∼Max : 15.5 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$).

6.5wt% Si steel is widely known as an excellent magnetic material because its magnetostriction is nearly zero. The AX magnetic properties as magnetostriction of 6.5% Si steel were evaluated and compared with those of conventional 3% Si steel sheet. In this paper, the fracture behavior of the poly crystals and single crystals of Fe-6.5wt%Si alloy has been observed. Single crystals were prepared by Floating Zone(FZ) method, which melts the alloy by the use of high temperature electron beam in pure argon gas condition. And the single crystals were annealed at 500$^{\circ}C$ and 700$^{\circ}C$ respectively and tensile tested at room temperature. According to the result, B2 phase has more good elongation than DO$_3$ phase. It was also found that the fracture surfaces of the single crystals have hairline facets in same direction, and the facets change the direction according to the single crystal phase.

The $Y_2SiO_5:Ce$ phosphors were synthesized by sol-gel technique in order to improve the performance of blue emitting phosphors for field emission display(FED). The resulted$Y_2SiO_5:Ce$ phosphors enhanced the emission intensity. In addition, calcination temperature of sol-gel technique(1300~140$0^{\circ}C$) was lower than that of the solid state reaction(>1$600^{\circ}C$). Under 365 nm and low voltage electron excitations. $Ce^{3+}$ -activated $Y_2SiO_5$phosphors showed blue emission band with a range of 400~ 430nm. Especially, 2mol% $Ce^{3+}$ doped $Y_2SiO_5:Ce$phosphors showed the maximum emission intensity. We have also controlled drying temperature of wet gel, pH, and $H_2O$/TEOS molar ratio for the optimum condition of TEOS hydrolysis.

A new $TiN-Ti_5Si_3$ bulk composite was synthesized from preceramic, inorganic polymer (methylpolysilsesquioxane) and $TiH_2$ filler powders via polymer pyrolysis. Using this process, ceramics with high melting points can be produced relatively easily to a near net shape. The $TiN-Ti_5Si_3$ composite oxidized slowly during heating to $1000^{\circ}C$. During heating at the temperatures of at 700 and $800^{\circ}C$, TiN oxidized to Rutile-$TiO_2$ whereas $Ti_5Si_3$ resisted to oxidation. The oxide scale formed consisted primarily of $TiO_2$ containing $Ti_5Si_3$.

The purpose of the present study was to prove our empirical tendency of relatively high small intestinal diameter (SI) to fifth lumbar vertebral height (L5) ratio, which has been used in dogs. In this study, the ratio of SI/L5 was determined in small breed dogs weighing less than 5 kg. In addition, the effect of large volume of contrast media on the intestinal dilation was determined by performing upper gastrointestinal contrast study. Abdominal radiography and upper gastrointestinal series were performed in twelve healthy dogs weighing less than 5 kg. Small intestinal diameter (SI), fifth lumbar vertebral height (L5), and twelveth rib diameter were measured on abdominal radiographs. The range of values of SI/L5 is from 1.03 to 2.26 in plain radiography, and from 1.55 to 2.5 in contrast studies. Contrast agent significantly increased small intestinal diameter, and could be considered as mildly dilated intestinal model. Therefore, a value of 2.1 for SI/L5 is recommended as the upper limit of the normal range suggesting nonobstructive intestinal dilation.

Mechanical alloying (MA) of Ti-50.0～66.7at%Si powders was carried out in a high-energy ball mill, and in situ thermal analysis was also made during MA. In order to classify the synthesis behavior of the powders with respect to at%Si, the synthesis behavior during MA was investigated by in situ thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In situ thermal analysis curves and XRD patterns of Ti-50.0～59.6at%Si powders showed that there were exothermic peaks during MA, indicating TiSi, $TiS_2$, and $Ti_{5}$ $Si_4$ phase formation by a rapid exothermic reaction of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). Those of Ti-59.8～66.7 at%Si powders, however, showed that there were no peaks during MA, indicating any Ti silicide was not synthesised until MA 240 min. For Ti-50.0～59.6at%Si powders, the critical milling times for SHS increased from 34.5 min to 89.5 min and the temperature rise, $\Delta$T (=peak temperature-onset temperature) decreased form $26.2^{\circ}C$ to $17.1^{\circ}C$ as at%Si increased. The critical composition of Si for SHS reaction was found to be 59.6at% and the critical value of the negative heat of formation of Ti-59.6at%Si to be -1.48 kJ/g.

High quality $TiN/TiSi_2$-bilayers were formed on the Si(100) substrate at room temperature and at $600^{\circ}C$ first by coevaporation of stoichiometric Si and Ti(Si:Ti = 2:1) fellowed by Ti reactive deposition in N, gas ambient, and in situ annealing in ultrahigh vacuum. Stoichiometric $Ti_{0.}N_{0.5}$, films with (111) texture and $C54-TiSi_2$ films were grown by annealing at temperatures above $700^{\circ}C$. $TiN/C54-TiSi_2$/Si(100) interface was clear and flat without agglomoration, and $CS4-TiSi_2$ film was epitxailly grown. The sheet resistance of the $TiN/TiSi_2$- bilayer decreased as the annealing temperature increased and about $2.5\omega/\textrm{cm}^2$ was obtained from the sample annealed over $700^{\circ}C$.

The cold rolling workability and mechanical properties of two new alloys, designed and cast Al-5.5Mg-2.9Si and Al-7Mg-0.9Zn alloys, were investigated in detail. The two alloy sheets of 4 mm thickness, 30 mm width and 100 mm length were reduced to a thickness of 1 mm by multi-pass rolling at ambient temperature. The rolling workability was better for the Al-7Mg-0.9Zn alloy than for the Al-5.5Mg-2.9Si alloy; in case of the former alloy, edge cracks began to occur at 50% rolling reduction, and their number and length increased with rolling reduction; however, in the latter alloy, the sheets did not have any cracks even at higher rolling reduction. The mechanical properties of tensile strength and elongation were also better in the Al-7Mg-0.9Zn alloy than in Al-5.5Mg-2.9Si alloy. Work hardening ability after cold rolling was also higher in the Al-7Mg-0.9Zn alloy than in the Al-5.5Mg-2.9Si alloy. At the same time, the texture development was very similar for both alloys; typical rolling texture developed in both alloys. These differences in the two alloys can primarily be explained by the existence of precipitates of $Mg_2Si$. It is concluded that the Al-7Mg-0.9Zn alloy is better than the Al-5.5Mg-2.9Si alloy in terms of mechanical properties.

${\beta}$-SiC powders were prepared by the simultaneous reduction and carbiding of Jecheon quartzite at 1400$^{\circ}C$ for 7 hours in hydrogen atmosphere, using graphite or carbon black as the reducing and carbiding reagent. The prepared SiC powder was acid-treated with the mixture of fluoric acid and hydrochloric acid at room temperature and also by heating on an alcohol lamp for one hour, respectively. The impurities were mostly eliminated and the purity of SiC became 98.5% after hot acid treatment. The specific surface area of SiC powder was also increased up to 115㎡/g by hot acid treatment. This pure and fine SiC powder was hot-pressed at 1900$^{\circ}C$ for 30min, using 5wt% Al2O3 as a sintering aid. The density, M.O.R., KIC and hardness of the hot-pressed SiC ceramics were 3.195g/㎤, 48.7Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$, 5.4MN/㎥/2 and 2,182Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$, respectively.
