Airborne contaminant particles are intruded into optical disk drive(ODD) due to the flow caused by disk rotation and can be adhered to objective lens, which causes read/write errors. Such a phenomenon can be a serious problem for high-density storage devices. The purpose of this paper is to understand the effect of particle contamination of objective lens in a CD-ROM drive on laser diode power and photo diode RF signal. The measurements of laser power and readout RF signal were carried out by using a laser power meter and a time interval analyzer, respectively. The parameters for estimating a readout-signal' distortion were its jitter and amplitude. Alumina(Al$_2$O$_3$) particles were used as test dust particles. The results show that the failure for data access happened as the degree of lens contamination was greater than 20％.

$Al_2O_3$/SiC particulate composites were fabircated by pressureless sintering. The dispersed phase was SiC of which the content was varied from 1.0 to 10 vol%. Three SiC powders having different median diameters from 0.28 $\mu\textrm{m}$ to 1.9 $\mu\textrm{m}$ were used. The microstructure became finer and more uniform as the SiC content increased except the 10 vol% specimens, which were sintered at a higher temperature. Under the same sintering condition, densification as well as grain growth was retarded more severly when the SiC content was higher or the SiC particle size was smaller. The highest flexural strength obtained at 5.0 vol% SiC regardless of the SiC particle size seemed to be owing to the finer and more uniform microstructures of the specimens. Annealing of the specimens at $1300^{\circ}C$ improved the strength in general and this annealing effect was good for the specimens containing as low as 1.0 vol% of SiC. Fracture toughness did not change appreciably with the SiC content but, for the composites containing 10 vol% SiC, a significantly higher toughness was obtained with the specimen containing 1.9$\mu\textrm{m}$ SiC particles.

CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) technology for global planarization of multilevel interconnection structure has been widely studied for the next generation devices. Among the consumables for CMP process, especially, slurry and their chemical compositions play a very important role in the removal rates and within-wafer non-uniformity (WIWNU) for global planarization ability of CMP process. However, CMP slurries contain abrasive particles exceeding 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ size, which can cause micro-scratch on the wafer surface after CMP process. Such a large size particle in these slurries may be caused by particle agglomeration in slurry supply-line. In this work, to investigate the effects of agglomeration on the performance of oxide CMP slurry, we have studied an aging effect of silica slurry as a function of particle size distribution and aging time during one month. We Prepared and compared the self-developed silica slurry by adding of alumina powders. Also, we have investigated the oxide CMP characteristics. As an experimental result, we could be obtained the relatively stable slurry characteristics comparable to aging effect of original silica slurry. Consequently, we can expect the saving of high-cost slurry.

본 연구는 졸-겔법을 이용하여 복합 알루미나를 제조하였고, 다양한 첨가제의 첨가에 의한 복합 알루미나의 열적 안정성을 고찰하였다. $1,200^{\circ}C$에서 소성시킨 복합 알루미나의 열적 안정성은 사용된 첨가제에 따라서 $Si{\fallingdotseq}La$ > Ti > $Ba{\fallingdotseq}Ce$ > Y > $Zr{\fallingdotseq}Mg$ 순으로 나타났다. 특히 실리카 첨가시 ${\alpha}$-알루미나로의 상전이 온도를 $150^{\circ}C$이상 높여 $1,200^{\circ}C$에서 소성 후에도 ${\gamma}$-형에서 ${\delta}$-형의 알루미나 상을 유지함을 알 수 있었고, 비표면적이 $3m^2/g$인 ${\alpha}$-알루미나에 비해 $71m^2/g$(비표면적) 범위까지 증가됨을 보였다. 이러한 알루미나 입자의 특성변화는 실리카 첨가 알루미나의 경우 고온으로 소성시 Si-O-Al의 결합의 증가로 인하여 알루미나의 상전이를 지연시키는 결과로 나타나고, 란타늄 첨가 알루미나의 경우 $LaAlO_3$ 구조의 존재로 인해 알루미나의 입자간 소결을 지연시킴을 알 수 있었다. 또한 란타늄 첨가시 $1,000^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 소성시킨 경우 란타늄이 알루미나 표면에 $La_2O_3$ 구조로 존재하나 $1,000^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 $LaAlO_3$의 perovskite 구조로 존재하고, $1,300^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 $LaAl_{11}O_{18}$의 magneto-plumbite 구조로 존재함을 XRD와 XPS 분석 결과에 의해 확인할 수 있었다.

콜로이드성 알루미나 분말 입자들의 현탁액에서 입자들의 응집현상을 시뮬레이션 하였다. 현탁액 속의 알루미나 분말 입자들은 입자간 포텐셜 에너지를 가지고 있으며 시간이 경과함에 따라 현탁액으 전체적인 에너지를 감소시키는 방향으로 시스템을 변화시킨다. 현탁액 속의 분말 입자들의 응집 현상을 입자간 포텐셜 곡선의 유형에 따라 관찰하였다. 단거리에서 강한 친화 포텐셜 에너지를 가지는 입자들은 무정형 망목 응집구조를 유도하며 응집체의 크기가 작아지고 단거리에서 강한 척력 포텐셜 에너지와 장거리에서 상대적으로 강한 친화 포텐셜 에너지를 가지는 분말 입자들이 밀집충진 응집구조에 접근하고 응집체의 크기가 상대적으로 커지게 된다. 입자간 에너지 분포에 강한 반발에너지 장벽이 존재하는 경우에 입자들이 응집함에 따라 이러한 에너지는 장벽이 사라지게 되며 이러한 현상은 입자의 응집패턴의 변화를 의미한다.

The suspension of $Al_2O_3$ which has long-term stability was made by mechanical milling. Thin films were evaluated and made to use as coating materials. A particle size of the suspension manufactured was 98 nm when 2 mt% nitric acid was added. It indicated that viscosity of the suspension is 12 cps and that it had the long-term stability. Thickness which was from 200 nm to 600 nm of the thin films was able to be made by adjusting draw rate and organic additive. Cracks of thin films at room temperature were prevented by adding Ethyl cellulose from 0.5 wt% to 2 wt%. The thin film heated at $500^{\circ}C$ indicated a hydrophilic property against water and an excellent permeability against a visible ray.

Polymer nanocomposites are advanced nanomaterials which exhibit dramatic improvements in various mechanical, thermal and barrier properties as compared with the neat polymer. Polystyrene/ alumina nanocomposites were prepared by an ultrasound-assisted solution casting method at filler loadings ranging from 0.2 to 2% and also at different ultrasonic frequencies, viz. 58 kHz, 192/58 kHz, 430 kHz, 470 kHz and 1 MHz. The composites were subjected to mechanical property tests (tensile and impact tests) and cavitation erosion tests to study the enhancement in functional properties. Filler dispersion in the polymer matrix was observed by SEM analysis. The effect of frequency on filler dispersion in the matrix was studied by SEM analysis and functional property enhancement of the composite material. The composites prepared at dual (high/ low) frequency (192/58 kHz) were found to show better property enhancement at low filler loadings as compared with neat polymer and also with composites prepared without ultrasound, thus reinforcing the finding that ultrasound-assisted synthesis is a promising method for the synthesis of nanocomposites.

Zeta potential measurements of colloid particles suspended in a liquid are performed by a Zeta Meter developed. There are many applications of colloid stability in spray technology, paints, wastewater treatment, and pharmaceuticalse. Zeta potentials of charged particles are obtained by measuring the electrophoretic velocities of the particles using video enhanced microscopy and image analysis program. The values of zeta potential of polystyrene latex(PSL), $silica(SiO_2)$M, polyvinylidence difluoride(PVDF), silicon nitride, and alumina particles in deionized (DI) water were measured to be -40.5, -31.9, -25.2, -15.1 and -10.1mV, respectively. The particles having high zeta potential less than -20 mV are stable in DI water, because the double layers of them have strong repulsive forces mutually, and the particles having low zeta potential over -20mV are unstable due to Van Der Waals forces. Silica(>20nm), PSL, aluminum and PVDF particles were found to be stable that would remain separate and well disperse, while silicon nitride and alumina particles were found to be unstable that would gradually agglomerate in DI water.

Fabrication possibility of low-shrinkage alumina without oxidation and wetting agent was presented on the basis of observation about oxidation behavior, microstructure and physical characteristics of such reaction agents free Al2O3-Al system. The composition less than Al 10w/o where Al can act as a sintering agent for Al2O3 was excluded. Under the condition of present experiments oxidation of Al2O3-Al system was dependent not on holding time but mainly on oxidation temperature. In thes case of Al powder not comminuted effectively during powder mixing of Al2O3-Al, columnar structure which would act as a hindrance to the densification during sintering developed more during oxidation with higher Al contents, and which made the fabrication of low-shrinkage Al2O3 ceramics impossible. If Al powder was comminuted effectively due to co-mixed Al2O3 characteristics, densification was improved because of no columnar structure and made the fabrication of sintered body with -2.7% dimensional change and 81% relative density possible. As a result, it is possible to fabricate dense low-shrinkage Al2O3 ceramics without oxidation and wetting agent under conditions such as smaller particle size of Al, Al contents below 50v/o, higher green density of Al2O3-Al compact and the use of Al2O3 powder used for high-density ceramics.

Plume radiation has been measured during ground tests of KSLV-I kick motor in order to predict the thermal load on the equipment around the kick motor at flight. The measuring positions are the kick motor base, and the measured heats were about 2${\sim}$5 w/cm$^2$. The measured heat showed a lot of shot fluctuation in their values, and the radiative heats at the latter half of time are higher than those of the first half. A plausible explanation for these phenomena was given as the variation of alumina particles with time. The radiative heats along the plume axis were also measured recently at 8 positions with 1.5m radius from plume axis, but only the initial parts of the results could be acceptable because the sensor were damaged by the accumulated heat. The strongest heat occurred at the middle of the plume, which can be explained with different view factors. Despite of the plausible explanation, it seems to need more analysis because the plume structure such as temperature, alumina particle, after burning has not been revealed until yet. The measure heat flux has been reflected in the prediction of the plume radiation at high altitude where the kick motor operates.
