A sintering paste for bonding copper plates was synthesized using Cu formate nanofibers on Cu microparticles, mixed with formic acid. Copper oxide nanofibers of 10 ㎛ grown at 400 ℃ on Cu microparticles on the surface were transformed into copper formate nanofibers through the mixing of formic acid. Compared to Cu bulk particles or nanoparticles, Cu formate on Cu microparticles decomposed into metallic Cu at a lower temperature of 210 ℃, facilitating the sintering of copper paste. The growth of nanofiber on Cu microparticles allowed for an increase in the reaction rate of formation to copper formate, aggregating surface area, and decomposition rate of copper formate, resulting in fast sintering.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is currently recognized as a leading process in the new field of solid freeform fabrication (SFF). It is used to fabricate in a short time any 3 dimensional shapes by layer-by-layer sintering of polymer, ceramic or metal powder. To develop this SFF system, it needs effective laser scanning path, temperature and z-axis control for lamination. Therefore, in this study, through the application of control algorithm for sintering process have performed, temperature evaluation for sintering process has performed and the manufacturing sample using SLS process.

$RuO_2$-based high frequency thick-film resistor paste was printed at the speed of 10, 100, 300 mm/sec on the AlN substrate, and then sintered at between 750 and $900^{\circ}C$. The sintered thick films were characterized in terms of printing and sintering conditions. With increasing printing speed, the thickness and roughness of sintered film increased. The resistance of the thick film resistor was reduced by increasing the printing speed from 10 to 100 mm/sec, but did not significantly change at 300 mm/sec speed. With increasing sintering temperature, the surface roughness and thickness of sintered resistor film decreased. The reduction rate was large in case of fast printed resistor. The resistance of the resistor increased up to $800^{\circ}C$ with sintering temperature, but again decreased at the higher sintering temperature.

Al2O3/SiC nanocomposites are fabricated through intensive ball milling to mix fine SiC particles uniformly with the Al2O3 powder. Another role of milling is to reduce particle sizes by crushing particles as well as agglomerates. However, balls are worn during ball milling and the sample powder mixtures pick up to weight loss of the balls. In this study, pressureless sintering was performed to obtain Al2O3/SiC nanocomposites. It was found that the wear rate of zirconia balls during milling was considerable, and the zirconia addition after even a few hours of ball milling could increase the sintering rates of the nanocomposites significantly. Thus, addition of ZrO2 changed the sintering behaviors as well as mechanical properties of Al2O3/SiC nanocomposites.

Solid and liquid sintering behaviors of mechanically alloyed 75W-25Cu powders have been studied by using a dilatometry technique. The sintering was performed under hydrogen atmosphere of 1 atm with a heating rate of 3 $^{\circ}C$/min. The mechanically alloyed 75W-25Cu powders were prepared by high energy ball milling process under argon atmosphere of 1 atm with alloying times of 0 to 400 h. To compare with the sintering behaviors of mechanically alloyed powders, pure Cu and W powders were also sintered under the above conditions, As the mechanical alloying time increased from 0 to 400 h, the shrinkage behavior of the alloyed powders was enhanced during the sintering, and staring temperature of liquid sintering decreased from 1083 to 1068 $^{\circ}C$. The saturation temperature, above which the shrinkage was completed, of liquid phase sintering decreased from 1248 to 1148 $^{\circ}C$ with increasing mechanical alloying time from 200 to 400 h. The residual stress of the mechanically alloyed powder was measured by X-raydiffractometer. The microstructure of sintered spcimen was observed by optical and scanning electron microscope. From these results, variations of solid and liquid sintering behaviors with mechanical alloying time were discussed in terms of the amount of residual stress and the distribution of W and Cu powders in the mechanically alloyed powder.

W₂C is synthesized through a reaction-sintering process from an ultrafine-W and WC powder mixture using spark plasma sintering (SPS). The effect of various parameters, such as W:WC molar ratio, sintering temperature, and sintering time, on the synthesis behavior of W₂C is investigated through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the microstructure, and final sintered density. Further, the etching properties of a W₂C specimen are analyzed. A W₂C sintered specimen with a particle size of 2.0 ㎛ and a relative density over 98% could be obtained from a W-WC powder mixture with 55 mol%, after SPS at 1700℃ for 20 min under a pressure of 50 MPa. The sample etching rate is similar to that of SiC. Based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, it is confirmed that fluorocarbon-based layers such as C-F and C-F2 with lower etch rates are also formed.

The surface diffusion coefficients for nickel, nickel oxide, cuppric oxide, cobalt oxide, alumina and ferric oxide have been determined at various temperatures using the sintering technique. This investigation is based on the model accounting for the sum of the contribution of volume and surface diffusion to the overall shrinkage rate during the initial stage of sintering. Simultaneous measurements of shrinkages and shrinkage rates of the materials compacts were conducted for various annealing times, the results of which were then correlated to the diffusion coefficient.

Sintering and dielectric characteristics of substrates were estimated by mixing rate of alumina and potashborosilicate glass(PBSG) powders. PBSG powders were used 7761(corning code)and alumina powders were used in extra pure rate(99.9%) and had 0.1 ${\mu}$m mean size. After ball milling with organic additives green sheets which were casted by doctor blade machine were sintered at 800$^{\circ}C$ for 1∼3hrs. Microstructure, linear shrinkage and dielectric constant of substrates were surveyed in order to fabricate low-dielectric and low tem-perature sintering substrate.

The effect of heating rate on the microstructural evolution during sintering of PZT ceramics has been investigated. In case of PZT powder compacts containing excess of PbO, fast heating caused incomplete rearrangement of solid grains in a liquid, resulting in lower density and inhomogeneous pore shape ; on contrary, slow heating resulted in better densification. In contrast, in case of compacts without excess PbO, the densification was enhanced by fast heating due to suppression of the grain growth.

The effects of SiO2 MnO2 and sintering atmospheres (O2, N2) on the piezoelectric properties and densification behaviors of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 were investigated. The addition of SiO2 to the system enhanced the rate of densification but supressed the rate of grain growth. On the other hand the addition of MnO2 to the system did not nearly affect the rate of densification but increased slightly the rate of grain growth The densification of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 containing of SiO2 or MnO2 was promoted with increasing the partial pressure of O2. The relative dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$r) and piezoelectric constant (d33) of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 containing of SiO2 or MnO2 sintered under O2 atmosphere were higher than under N2 atmosphere. Whereas the mechanical quality factor (Qm) of specimens sintered under O2 atmosphere were lower than under N2 atmosphere. Thus the sintering atmosphere of O2 and N2 in Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 containing of SiO2 or MnO2 acted as donor and acceptor respectively. As the amount of SiO2 increased the relative dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$r) and piezoelectric constant (d33) of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 but the mechanical quality factor (Qm) did not nearly change, In the case of the addition of MnO2 to the system the relative dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$r) and piezoelectric constant (d33) of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 sintered under O2 atmosphere decreased rapidly with increasing the amount of MnO2 but they were unchanged with increasing the amount of MnO2 under N2 sintering atmosphere. Therefore the differences of the relative dielect-ric constant ($\varepsilon$r) and piezoelectric constant (d33) due to sintering atmosphere were diminished as the amount of MnO2 increased.
