Micromachining using the DPSS 3rd Harmonic Laser (355nm) has outstanding advantages as a UV source in comparison with Excimer lasers in various aspects such as maintenance cost, maskless machining, high repetition rate and so on. It also has the greater absorptivity of many materials in contrast to other IR sources. In this paper, the process for micro-drilling of blind hole in Cu/PI/Cu substrate with the DPSS UV laser and the scanning device is investigated by the experimental methods. It is known that there is a large gap between the ablation threshold of copper and that of PI. We use the Archimedes spiral path for the blind hole with different energy densities to ablate the different material. Finally, the blind via hole of diameter 100$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 50$\mu\textrm{m}$ was drilled.

The 3-dimensional(3D) chip stacking technology is one of the leading technologies to realize a high density and high performance system in package(SIP). It could be found that it is the advanced process of through-hole via formation with the minimum damaged on the Si-wafer. Laser ablation is very effective method to penetrate through hole on the Si-wafer because it has the advantage that formed under $100{\mu}m$ diameter through-hole via without using a mask. In this paper, we studied the optimum method for a formation of through-hole via using femto-second laser heat sources. Furthermore, the processing parameters of the specimens were several conditions such as power of output, pulse repetition rate as well as irradiation method and time. And also the through-hole via form could be investigated and analyzed by microscope and analyzer.

The fabrication of micro-size patterning on alumina substrate is generated by laser direct writing, which has high precision and selectivity of various laser beam energies. The depth and width of patterns is affected by laser parameter such as laser power, scan rate. Through the chemical and mechanical polishing Pd seeds was effectively got rid of alumina substrate for selectivity electroless Ni plating. Thermal treatment is good method for changing electrical property of conductor line, because the treatment can control of the grain size.

Amputation neuroma can cause very serious, intractable pain. Many treatment modalities are suggested for painful neuroma. Pharmacologic treatment shows a limited effect on eliminating the pain, and surgical treatment has a high recurrence rate. We applied pulsed radiofrequency treatment at the neuroma stalk under ultrasonography guidance. The long-term outcome was very successful, prompting us to report this case.

The application of nanomaterials for electrodes of intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) is introduced. In conventional SOFCs, the operating temperature is higher than 1073 K, and so application of nanomaterials is not suitable because of the high degradation rate that results from sintering, aggregation, or reactions. However, by allowing a decrease of the operating temperature, nanomaterials are attracting much interest. In this review, nanocomposite films with columnar morphology, called double columnar or vertically aligned nanocomposites and prepared by pulsed laser ablation method, are introduced. For anodes, metal nano particles prepared by exsolution from perovskite lattice are also applied. By using dissolution and exsolution into and from the perovskite matrix, performed by changing $P_{O2}$ in the gas phase at each interval, recovery of the power density can be achieved by keeping the metal particle size small. Therefore, it is expected that the application of nanomaterials will become more popular in future SOFC development.

Well-differentiated thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy with an increasing incidence. Most patients with well-differentiated thyroid caner have a favorable prognosis with high survival rate. While surgery and radioiodine therapy is sufficient treatment for the majority of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer, a minority of these patients experiences progressive, life-threatening growth and metastatic spread of the disease. Because there is no prospective controlled study to evaluate the differences of management of thyroid cancer, it is hard to choose the best treatment option. And there are still lots of controversies about the management of this disease, such as surgical extent, proper use of radioiodine for remnant ablation and therapy, use of rhTSH instead of withdrawal of thyroid hormone, long-term follow-up strategy, thyroglobulin as a tumor marker, etc. In this review, recent data related to these conflicting issues and recent advances in diagnosis, radioiodine therapy and long-term monitoring of well-differentiated thyroid cancer are summarized.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a benign tumor that occurs in the respiratory tract, especially in the larynx. The etiology of RRP is human papillomavirus (HPV). According to the age of occurrence, RRP is divided into childhood-onset and adult-onset types. Generally, childhood-onset RRP shows a high recurrence rate and diffuse involvement in the respiratory tract. Adult-onset RRP is more localized and appears more frequently as a solitary lesion. It may be the result of sexual transmission or the proliferation of latent HPV infections. At present, the treatment of choice for RRP is CO₂ laser ablation. In addition, pulse dye laser or KTP (KTiOPO: potassium-titanyl-phosphate) lasers are also used. Non-surgical adjuvant therapies can be applied in cases requiring repetitive surgery or with diffuse extensions. This review will introduce the clinical features of RRP and various treatment options including lasers.

We studied indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO) film grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as transparent conductive oxide (TCO). A variety of TCO layer, such as ZnO:Al (AZO), InSnO2(ITO), Zn (O,S) etc, has been grown by various method, such as ALD, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sputtering, laser ablation, sol-gel technique, etc. Among many deposition methods, ALD has various advantages such as uniformity of film thickness, film composition, conformality, and low temperature deposition, as compared with other techniques. In this study, we deposited indium-doped zinc oxide thin films using diethyl[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]indium [Et2InN(TMS)2] as indium precursor, DEZn as zinc precursor and H2O as oxidant for ALD and investigated the optical and electrical properties of IZO films. As an alternative, this liquid In precursor would has several advantages in indium oxide thin-film processes by ALD, especially for low resistance indium oxide thin film and high deposition rate as compared to InCp, InCl3, TMIn precursors etc. We found out that Indium oxide films grown by Et2InN(TMS)2 and H2O precursor show ALD growth mode and ALD growth window. We also found out the different growth rate of Indium oxide as the substrate and investigated the effect of the substrate on Indium oxide growth.

An ionization front (IF) surrounding an H II region is a sharp interface through which a cold neutral gas makes transition to a warm ionized phase by absorbing UV photons from central massive stars. We investigate the structure and instability of a plane-parallel D-type IF threaded by magnetic fields parallel to the front. We find that magnetic fields increase the maximum propagation speed of the IFs, while reducing the expansion factor, defined as the density ratio of neutral to ionized phases. IFs become unstable to distortional perturbations due to gas expansion across the fronts, exactly analogous to the Darrieus-Landau instability of ablation fronts in terrestrial flames. The growth rate of the IF instability is proportional linearly to the perturbation wavenumber as well as the upstream flow speed. The IF instability is stabilized by gas compressibility and becomes completely quenched when the front is D-critical. The instability is also stabilized by magnetic pressure when the perturbations propagate in the direction perpendicular to the fields. When the perturbations propagate in the direction parallel to the fields, on the other hand, it is magnetic tension that reduces the growth rate, completely suppressing the instability when ${\beta}$ < 1.5, with ${\beta}$ denoting the square of the ratio of the sound speed to the Alfven speed in the pre-IF region. When the front experiences an acceleration, the IF instability cooperates with the Rayleigh-Taylor instability to make the front more unstable. We discuss potential effects of IF instability on the evolution and dynamics of IFs in the interstellar medium.
