In this paper, we propose a new method to infiltrate $Fe_3O_4$-nanoparticles into a porous silicon film and a monitoring technique to detect packing density of nanoparticles within the film. Recently, research to use porous silicon as a drug carrier or a new functional sensor material by infiltrating $Fe_3O_4$-nanoparticles has been extensively performed. However, it is still necessary to enhance the packing density and to develop a monitoring technique to detect the packing density in real time. In this light, we forcibly injected a nanoparticle solution into a rugate-structured free-standing porous silicon (FPS) film by applying a pressure difference between the two sides of the film. We found that the packing density by the pressure-infiltration method proposed in this paper is enhanced, relative to that by the previous diffusion method. Moreover, a continuous shift in wavelength of the rugate reflectance peak measured from the film surface was observed while the nanoparticle solution was being injected. By exploiting this phenomenon, we could qualitatively monitor the packing density of $Fe_3O_4$-nanoparticles within the FPS film with the injection volume of the nanoparticle solution.

This paper describes fabrication and characteristics of metal thin-film pressure sensor for working at high temperature. The proposed pressure sensor consists of a chrom thin-film, patterned on a Wheatstone bridge configuration, sputter-deposited onto thermally oxidized Si membranes with an aluminium interconnection layer. The fabricated pressure sensor presents a low temperature coefficient of resistance, high-sensitivity, low non-linearity and excellent temperature stability. The sensitivity is 1.097 $\sim$ 1.21 mV/V kgf/$cm^2$ in the temperature range of 25 $\sim$ $200^{\circ}C$ and the maximum non-linearity is 0.43 %FS.

High shear adhesion on wet and rough surfaces and tactile feedback of gripping forces are highly important for realizing robotic gripper systems. Here, we propose a bioinspired robotic gripper with highly shear adhesion and sensitive pressure sensor for tactile feedback systems. To achieve them, we fabricated multi-walled carbon nanotube sensing layer on a thin polymeric adhesive layer of polydimethylsiloxane. With densely hexagonal-packed microstructures, the pressure sensor achieved 9 times the sensing property of a sensor without microstructures. We then assembled hexagonal microstructures inspired by the toe pads of a tree frog, giving strong shear adhesion under both dry and wet surfaces such as silicon (42 kPa for dry and ~30 kPa for underwater conditions) without chemical-residues after detachment. Our robotic gripper can prevent damage to weak or smooth surfaces that can be damaged at low pressure through pressure signal feedback suggesting a variety of robotic applications.

저항가열식 고진공증착기를 이용하여 압력센서로 사용될 수 있는 boron이 첨가된 다결정 silicon 박막이 제조되었다. 다결정 silicon 박막은 여러온도에서 quartz 기판위에 증착되었으며, boron은 BN 웨이퍼를 사용하여 확산로에서 doping하였다. $500^{\circ}C$의 기판온도에서 증착된 silicon 박막은 비정질이었으며, $600^{\circ}C$에서 결정을 보이기 시작하였고, $700^{\circ}C$에서 다결정이 되었다. $900^{\circ}C$에서 10분동안 boron을 dopion한 후, 박막의 비저항은 $0.1{\Omega}cm~1.5{\Omega}cm$의 범위에 있었으며, boron 밀도(농도)는 $9.4$\times$10^{15}~2.1$\times${10}^{17}cm^{-3}$이었고, 입자의 크기는 $107{\AA}~191{\AA}$이었다.

Silicon direct bonding 기술은 잔류 응력이 없고, 안정한 특성을 가진 센서의 제작과 silicon-on-insulator 소자의 제조에 널리 이용되고 있다. SDB의 공정 절차는 크게 실리콘 웨이퍼의 수산화 공정 과정과 wet oxidation fumace에서 고온의 열처리 공정 과정을 거치게 된다. 수산화 공정을 행한 후, Fourier transformation-infrared spectroscopy를 사용하여 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면을 분석하여 보면, 실리콘 웨이퍼의 표면에서는 수산화기가 생성됨을 알 수 있다. 실험 결과, $H_{2}O_{2}\;:\; H_{2}SO_{4}$ 용액을 사용한 친수성 용액 처리의 경우에 있어서는 수산화기가 3474 $cm^{-1}$ 주위의 넓은 영역에서 관찰되었다. 그러나, diluted HF 용액의 경우에 있어서는 수산화기가 관찰되지 않았다. 접합된 실리콘웨이퍼를 tetramethylammonium hydroxide 식각 용액을 사용하여 식각 공정을 수행하였다. 식각 공정은 자동 식각 중지가 수행되었으며, 식각된 표면은 평탄하고 균일하였다. 그러므로, 이러한 SDB 기술은 우수한 특성을 가진 압력, 유속, 가속도 센서 등과 같은 센서의 제작 및 센서 응용 분야에 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper reports the fabrication and characterization of surface micromachined poly 3C-SiC capacitive pressure sensors on silicon wafer operable in touch mode and normal mode for high temperature applications. FEM(finite elements method) simulation has been performed to verify the analytical mode. The sensing capacitor of the capacitive pressure sensor is composed of the upper metal and the poly 3C-SiC layer. Measurements have been performed in a temperature range from $25^{\circ}C$ to $500^{\circ}C$. Fabrication process of designed poly 3C-SiC touch mode capacitive pressure sensor was optimized and would be applicable to capacitive pressure sensors that are required high precision and sensitivity at high pressure and temperature.

Silicon diaphragms, 10 and 20 \ulcorner-thick and 1x1 mm\ulcornerarea, have been fabricated by means of the electrochemical P-N junction etch-stop technique. The P-type diffused resistors were formed on the diaphragm, and the piezoresistance effect was examined. It was been found that the fractional variation of the resistance is dependent on the diaphragm thickness, resistor location, and resistor length, etc. The 1.2 k\ulcornerfull-brige pressure sensor with 10\ulcorner-thick diaphragm exhibits a pressure sensitivity of 42 \ulcorner/V\ulcornermHg with a temperature coefficient of 2.3 mmHg/\ulcorner, and shows a good linearity in the pressure range from 0 to 300 mmHg.

Applications of poly-Si layers which are important as sensing and structural material of various sensors were reviewed in this research. A piezoresistive pressure sensor with piezoresistors has sensitivity of $6.93{\mu}$ V/(VmmHg) within 300mmHg. Temperature sensor was studied with measurement range of $-40{\sim}140^{\circ}C$ and $400{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ using boron-doped and undoped poly-Si resistors, respectively. Poly-Si layer was used to transduce volume change of polyimide to stress of silicon diaphragm for humidity sensor.

열산화시킨 실리콘 웨이퍼 위에 저압화학기상성장법으로 $SiCl_{2}H_{2}$, $NH_{3}$ 및 $N_{2}O$ 기체를 사용하여 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드($Si_{x}O_{y}N_{z}$) 층을 제작하였다. 세 가지의 다른 조성이 기체 유속비($NH_{3}/N_{2}O$)를 각기 0.2, 0.5 및 2로 변화시키고 $SiCl_{2}H_{2}$의 기체 유속은 고정시킴으로써 얻어졌다. 엘립소메트리와 HFCV(High Frequency Capacitance-Voltage) 측정법을 채택하여 굴절율, 유전율 및 조성의 차이를 각각 조사했다. 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드는 내부에 포함된 실리콘 나이트라이드 성분량에 관계없이 용액 중에서 순수한 실리콘 나이트라이드와 유사한 안정성을 보유했다. 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 층 알칼리이온 감지성의 크기 순서는 실리콘 나이트라이드 성분량에 영향을 받았다. 보다 나은 알칼리이온 감지성이 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드의 벌크 내에 있는 실리콘 디옥시드의 성분량을 증가시킴으로써 얻어졌다.

A porous silicon microcavity (PSMC) sensor has been made for vapors of solvent solutions, and a method has been developed in order to obtain simultaneous determination of two volatile substances with different concentrations. In our work, the temperature of the solution and the velocity of the air stream flowing through the solution have been used to control the response of the sensor for ethanol and acetone solutions. We study the dependence of the cavity-resonant wavelength shift on solvent concentration, velocity of the airflow and solution temperature. The wavelength shift depends linearly on concentration and increases with solution temperature and velocity of the airflow. The dependence of the wavelength shift on the solution temperature in the measurement contains properties of the temperature dependence of the solvent vapor pressure, which characterizes each solvent. As a result, the dependence of the wavelength shift on the solution temperature discriminates between solutions of ethanol and acetone with different concentrations. This suggests a possibility for the simultaneous determination of the volatile substances and their concentrations.
