A novel cure sensor based on the side-polished single mode fiber has been proposed and demonstrated. Two different UV curable epoxies were used to verify the feasibility of the side-polished single mode fiber as a high sensitivity cure sensor. The volume change of the epoxy by UV curing results in a corresponding change of the refractive index. The sensor can be used to monitor the curing process, the refractive index variation and the volume change of epoxy in real time during the UV curing process. In addition, small birefringence of the epoxy film can be detected using the sensor.

Miniature ultrasonic and tactile sensors on Si substrate have been proposed, fabricated and characterized to detect objects for a dexterous robot. The ultrasonic sensor consists of piezoelectric PZT thin film on a Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$ and/or Si diaphragm fabricated using a micromachining technique; the ultrasonic sensor detects the piezoelectric voltage as an ultrasonic wave. The sensitivity has been enhanced by improving the device structure, and the resonant frequency in the array sensor has been equalized. Position detection has been carried out by using a sensor array with high sensitivity and uniform resonant frequency. The tactile sensor consists of four or three warped cantilevers which have NiCr or $Si:B^+$ piezoresistive layer for stress detection. Normal and shear stresses can be estimated by calculation using resistance changes of the piezoresitive layers on the cantilevers. Gripping state has been identified by using the tactile sensor which is installed on finger of a robot hand, and friction of objects has been measured by slipping the sensor.

A sub-ppm level MEMS gas sensor that can be used for the detection of formaldehyde (HCHO) is presented. It is realized by using a zinc oxide (ZnO) thin-film material with a Ni-seed layer as a sensing material and by bulk micromachining technology. To enhance sensitivity of the MEMS gas sensor with Ni-seed layer was embedded with ZnO sensing material and sensing electrodes. As experimental results, the changed sensor resistance ratio for HCHO gas was 9.65 % for 10 ppb, 18.06 % for 100 ppb, and 35.7 % for 1 ppm, respectively. In addition, the minimum detection level of the fabricated MEMS gas sensor was 10 ppb for the HCHO gas. And the measured output voltage was about 0.94 V for 10 ppb HCHO gas concentration. The noise level of the fabricated MEMS gas sensor was about 50 mV. The response and recovery times were 3 and 5 min, respectively. The consumption power of the Pt micro-heater under sensor testing was 184 mW and its operating temperature was $400^{\circ}C$.

This research is the development of a skin-type tactile sensor for service robot using PVDF film for the detection of the contact state. The Prototype of the tactile sensor which has 8$\times$8 taxels was fabricated using PVDF film In the fabrication procedure of the sensor, the electrode patterns and common electrode of the thin conductive tape were attached to the both side of the 28 micro meter thickness PVDF film using conductive adhesive. The sensor was covered with polyester film for insulation and attached to the rubber base for making stable structure. The signals of a contact pressure to the tactile sensor were sensed and processed in the DSP system in which the signals were digitized and filtered. Finally, the signals were integrated for taking the force profile. The processed signals of the output of the sensor were visualized in PC, the shape and force distribution of the contact object were obtained. The reasonable performance for the detection of contact state was verified through the experiment.

Surface acoustic wave(SAW) oscillator offers many attractive features for application to vapor sensors. The perturbation of SAW velocity by the hexafluoropropence plasma polymer thin film has been studied for relative humidity sensing. adsorption of moisture produces rapid aid changes in the properties of the film, resulting in a change in the velocity of surface acoustic waves and, hence, in the frequency of one SAW oscillator. The device used in our experiments have 55 MHZ SAW oscillator fabricated on a LiNbO substrate.

Pt thin film of about 7000$\AA$ thickness was deposited on the alumina substrate using DC Magnetron Sputter and the characteristics of the film for temperature sensor were investigated. When film of about 7000$\AA$ thickness was deposited at working gas pressure of $2.0{\times}10^{-3}$torr, sputtering power of 50W, substrate temperature of $350^{\circ}C$(Ts), sheet resistance(Rs), resistivity($\rho$) and temperature coefficient of resistivity(TCR) of the film were respectively 0.39$\Omega$/$\square$, 27.60$\mu\Omega$-cm and $3350 ppm/^{\circ}C$. When the film was annealed at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 240min in hydrogen ambient, Rs, $\rho$ and TCR were respectively 0.236$\Omega$/$\square$, 15.18$\mu\Omega$-cm and 3716 ppm/$3716 ppm/^{\circ}C$. When working gas of 15sccm oxygen and 100sccm Argon were used, Rs, $\rho$ and TCR were respectively 0.335$\Omega$/$\square$, 22.45$\mu\Omega$-cm and $3427 ppm/^{\circ}C$. When the film was annealed at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 240min, Rs, $\rho$and TCR were respectively 0.224/$\Omega$$\square$, 14$\mu\Omega$-cm and $3760 ppm/^{\circ}C$ and the characteristics of the film were much improved.

Cu-Ni thin film strain gauges for diaphragm-type pressure sensors were developed. Thin films of Cu-Ni alloys of various compositions were deposited onto glass and stainless steel substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The effects of composition substrate temperature Ar partial pressure and aging on the electrical properties of Cu-Ni film strain gauges in the thickness range 500~2000$\AA$ are discussed. The maximum resistivity(95.6 $\mu$$\Omega$cm) is obtained from 53wt%Cu-47wt%Ni films while the temperature coefficient of resistance(TCR) becomes minimum(25.6ppm/$^{\circ}C$). The gauge factor is about 1.9.
