The addition of Sn to Pt/${\gamma}$-$A1_2O_3$ catalyst greatly enhanced the activity and decreased the deactivation rate for the dehydrocyclization of paraffins. For the dehydrocyclization of n-octane, there appeared to be an optimal ratio of Pt:Sn=1:4 for 0.75 wt% Pt/${\gamma}$-$A1_2O_3$ catalyst. The addition of K to Pt/${\gamma}$-$A1_2O_3$ also produced a similar effect on the dehydrocyclization of n-hexane. In the case of n-octane, the addition of K led to a less selective catalyst.

최근 비정질 산화물 반도체 thin film transistor(TFT)는 차세대 투명 디스플레이로 많은 관심을 받고 있으며 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 산화물 반도체 TFT는 기존의 비정질 실리콘 반도체에 비하여 큰 on/off 전류비, 높은 이동도 그리고 낮은 구동전압으로 인하여 차세대 투명 디스플레이 산업에 적용 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 한편 기존의 sputter나 evaporator를 이용한 증착 방식은 우수한 막의 특성에도 불구하고 많은 시간과 제작비용이 든다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 별도의 고진공 시스템이 필요하지 않을 뿐만 아니라 대면적화에도 유리한 용액공정 방식을 이용하여 박막 트렌지스터를 제작하였으며 thermal 열처리와 microwave 열처리 방식에 따른 전기적 특성을 비교 및 분석하고 각 열처리 방식의 열처리 온도 및 조건을 최적화 하였다. 제작된 박막 트렌지스터는 p-type bulk silicon 위에 산화막이 100 nm 형성된 기판에 spin coater을 이용하여 Al-Zn-Sn-O 박막을 형성하였다. 연속해서 photolithography 공정과 BOE (30:1) 습식 식각 과정을 이용해 활성화 영역을 형성하여 소자를 제작하였다. 제작 된 소자는 Pseudo-MOS FET구조이며, 프로브 탐침을 증착 된 채널층 표면에 직접 접촉시켜 소스와 드레인 역할을 대체하여 동작시킬 수 있어 전기적 특성평가가 용이하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그 결과, microwave를 통해 열처리한 소자는 100oC 이하의 낮은 열처리 온도에도 불구하고 furnace를 이용하여 열처리한 소자와 비교하여 subthreshold swing(SS), Ion/off ratio, field-effectmobility 등이 개선되는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, microwave 열처리 공정은 향후 저온 공정을 요구하는 MOSFET 제작 시의 훌륭한 대안으로 사용 될 것으로 기대된다.

Pentacene channel for organic thin film transistor was deposited on the SiOC film by thermal evaporation. The growth of pentacene is related with the Diels-Alder reaction and the nucleophilic reaction by the thermal induction. The surface is an important factor to control the recursive Diels-Alder reaction for growing of pentacene on SiOC far The terminal C=C double bond of pentacene molecule was broken easily as a result of attack of the nucleophilic reagents on the surface of SiOC film. The nucleophilic reaction can be accelerated by increasing temperature on surface, and it maks pentacene to grow hardly on the SiOC film with a flow rate ratio of $O_2/(BTMSM+O_2)=0.5$ due to its inorganic property. The nucleophlic reaction mechanism is $SN_2(bimolecular nucleophilic substitution)$ type.

This study investigates the sensitivity of a gas sensor to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at various operating temperatures and catalysts. Nano-sized powdered $WO_3$ prepared by sol-gel and chemical precipitation methods was mixed with various metal oxides. Next, transition metals (Pt, Ru, Pd, and In) were doped on the surface of the mixture. Metal-$WO_3$ thick films were prepared using the screen-printing method. The physical and chemical properties of the films were studied by SEM/EDS, XRD, and BET techniques. The measured sensitivity to VOCs is defined as the ratio ($R_a/R_g$) of resistance ($R_{air}$) of $WO_3$ film in the air to resistance ($R_{gas}$) of $WO_3$ film in a VOCs test gas. The sensitivity and selectivity of the films were tested with various VOCs such as acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methyl alcohol, and BTEX. The thick $WO_3$ film containing 1 wt % of Ru and 5 wt % of $SnO_2$ showed the best sensitivity and selectivity to acetaldehyde gas at an operating temperature of 300 $^{\circ}C$.

The adventages of Li alloys have attracted the attention of many research groups, many of which have investigated tin-based alloys [1-2], Despite interesting performances of these, the irreversible capacity loss systematically observed on the first cycle for these compounds is a main drawback for their use as anode materials in lithium ion cells. Not only Sn is efficient in forming alloys with Li, Si can also react with Li to form alloys with a high Li/Si ratio, like Li$\_$22/Si$\_$5/ at 400$^{\circ}C$. It corresponds to a capacity of 4200mAh/g. Electrochemical Li-Si reaction occurs between 0 and 0.3 V against Li/Li$\^$+/, so that high-energy density battery can be realized. Despite the high theoretical capacity of elements like Si, however, particles of the alloys crack and fragment due to the repeated alloying and do-alloying which occurs as cell are charged and discharged. The research groups of Muggins [3] and Besenhard [4] have proposed that the volume expansion due to the insertion of Li can be reduced in micro- and submicro-structured matrix alloys. For this reason, the research group of J.R. Dahn investigated Sn/Mo sequential sputter deposition to prepare nanocomposites [5]. In this study, we investigated the characterization and the electrochemical characteristics of sequentially sputtered Si/Mo multilayer for microbattery anode.

A cost-effective and simple solder on pad (SoP) process is proposed for a fine-pitch microbump interconnection. A novel solder bump maker (SBM) material is applied to form a 60-${\mu}m$ pitch SoP. SBM, which is composed of ternary Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu (SAC305) solder powder and a polymer resin, is a paste material used to perform a fine-pitch SoP through a screen printing method. By optimizing the volumetric ratio of the resin, deoxidizing agent, and SAC305 solder powder, the oxide layers on the solder powder and Cu pads are successfully removed during the bumping process without additional treatment or equipment. Test vehicles with a daisy chain pattern are fabricated to develop the fine-pitch SoP process and evaluate the fine-pitch interconnection. The fabricated Si chip has 6,724 bumps with a 45-${\mu}m$ diameter and 60-${\mu}m$ pitch. The chip is flip chip bonded with a Si substrate using an underfill material with fluxing features. Using the fluxing underfill material is advantageous since it eliminates the flux cleaning process and capillary flow process of the underfill. The optimized bonding process is validated through an electrical characterization of the daisy chain pattern. This work is the first report on a successful operation of a fine-pitch SoP and microbump interconnection using a screen printing process.

This paper investigates the energy efficiency of energy harvesting (EH) bidirectional cooperative sensor networks, in which the considered system model enables the uplink information transmission from the sensor (SN) to access point (AP) and the energy supply for the amplify-and-forward (AF) relay and SN using power-splitting (PS) or time-switching (TS) protocol. Considering the minimum EH activation constraint and quality of service (QoS) requirement, energy efficiency is maximized by jointly optimizing the resource division ratio and transmission power. To cope with the non-convexity of the optimizations, we propose the low complexity iterative algorithm based on fractional programming and alternative search method (FAS). The key idea of the proposed algorithm first transforms the objective function into the parameterized polynomial subtractive form. Then we decompose the optimization into two convex sub-problems, which can be solved by conventional convex programming. Simulation results validate that the proposed schemes have better output performance and the iterative algorithm has a fast convergence rate.

Taguchi's parameter design is to determine optimal settings of design parameters of a product or a process such that the characteristics of a product exhibit small variabilities around their target values. His analysis of the problem has focused only on a single characteristic or response, but the quality of most products is seldom defined by a characteristic, and is rather the composite of a great number of characteristics which are often interrelated and nearly always measured in a variety of units. The critical problem in dealing with multiple characteristics is how to compromise the conflicts among the selected levels of the design parameters for each individual characteristic. In this paper, the EXTOPSIS Model using SN ratio which can be optimized by univariate technique is proposed and a parameter design procedure to achieve the optimal compromise among several different response variables is developed. Two existing case studies are solved by the proposed method and the results are compared with ones by the sum of SN ratios, the expected weighted loss, and the desirability function.

In this study, we intended to extend the life of electropolishing solution through the reduction of electric resistance by improving the electrolysis efficiency. The optimum conditions were obtained by half round bus bar and Taguchi method. As the main control factors in the electropolishing process, current density, polishing time, electrolyte temperature and flow rate were selected. The electrolyte temperature was the most significant to the electrolysis efficiency. The optimum conditions for the life extension of electropolishing solution were as follows: current density, $45A/dm^2$; polishing time, 6 min; electrolyte temperature, $70^{\circ}C$; flow rate, 11 L/min. As a results of ANOVA of SN ratios, it was found that the electrolyte temperature was significant factor at the 90% confidence level.
