In this paper, we analyzed the effects of doctoring process on the patterns of Ag ink in gravure off-set printing. The parameters of doctoring process were the angle and the pressure, which was represented by the depth of blade movement to the gravure roll, of doctor blade to the surface of gravure roll, and the angle of patterns engraved on the gravure roll to the doctor blade moving direction. The proper parameters were extracted for the fine patterns and they were 15 mm for the pressure, $60^{\circ}$ for the blade angle. And the angle of patterns with respect to the blade movement should be less than $40^{\circ}$ for the best results. The gravure off-set printing with the above parameters was carried out to print gate electrodes and scan bus lines of OTFT-backplane for e-paper. The line width of $50{\mu}m$ was successfully obtained. The thickness of electrodes was $2.5{\mu}m$ and the surface roughness was $0.65{\mu}m$ and the sheet resistance was $15.8{\Omega}/{\Box}$.

Screen printing (SP) metal contact is typically applied to the solar cells for mass production. However, SP metal contact has low aspect ratio, low accuracy, hard control of the substrate penetration and unclean process. On the other hand, photo lithograpy (PL) metal contact can reduce defects by metal contact. In this investigation, PL metal contact was obtained the multi-layer structure of Ti/Pd/Ag by e-beam process. We applied SP metal contact and PL metal contact to single crystalline silicon solar cells, and demonstrated the difference of conversion efficiency. Because PL metal contact silicon solar cell has Jsc (short circuit current density) better than silicon solar cell applied SP metal contact.

The carbon nanotube emitters for field emission displays were fabricated by using screen printing techniques. The pastes for screen printing are composed of organic binders, carbon nanotubes (multiwalled or singlewalled), and some additive materials. The pastes were printed on Cr-coated/Ag-printed soda-lime glass substrates. From the I-V characteristics, the turn-on field of SWNT was lower than that of MWNT. The decrease in the mesh size of screen masks (i.e. increase in the opening size of the screen mesh) resulted in decreasing the turn-on field and increasing the electron emission current. When the carbon nanotubes were mixed with silver pastes, silver powders appeared to contribute to the vertically aligning of carbon nanotubes on a glass.

We fabricated YBCO thick films by using a screen printing method with $Y_2$BaCuO$_{5}$(Y211) and BaCO$_3$ powders on Cu-substrate in $N_2$ atmosphere. Cu-sheathed YBCO thick film process is more simple and economic than YBCO coated conductor methods. The heat treatment is performed in the range of 860 - 875 $^{\circ}C$ for 5 min in the tube furnace of $N_2$ atmosphere. The flow rate of $N_2$ gas is fixed 60 $m\ell$/min. Microstructure and phases of thick films were investigated by optical microscope, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and SEM. At heat-treatment temperature, the thick films were partially melted by liquid reaction between CuO of oxidized copper substrate and the powders screen-printed on Cu-sheath. During the heat-treatment procedure, YBCO superconducting grains nucleate.e.

Hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ)는 spin-on glass (SOG)의 일종으로 spin-coating이 가능하며 $400^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서의 어닐링을 통해 silica로 변환되는 물질이다. 이 물질은 가시광선 영역에서 95% 이상의 높은 투과도를 나타내며 산화물로의 변환 공정이 간단하며 표면 개질이 용이하기 때문에 나노 바이오, 반도체, 광전자 소자 등의 다양한 분야로의 적용이 기대되는 물질이다. 최근 나노 기술의 발전에 따라 다양한 나노 구조물을 이용하여 소자들의 효율을 향상시키는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 따라서 HSQ를 이용하는 소자의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 쉽고 간단하면서 생산성이 높은 HSQ 나노 구조물 제작 기술에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 현재 개발된 대면적 HSQ 나노 구조물 제작 기술로는 e-beam lithography, x-ray lithography, room temperature nanoimprint lithography 등이 있다. 하지만 이와 같은 나노 패터닝 기술들은 생산성이 낮거나 공정이 복잡한 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) mold를 이용한 직접 printing 기술을 통해 HSQ 나노 구조물을 제작하는 기술을 개발하였다. 이 기술은 대면적에 간단한 기술로 HSQ 나노 패턴을 제작할 수 있으며 master mold의 패턴이 그대로 HSQ layer로 전사되기 때문에 제작이 까다로운 아날로그 패턴도 손쉽게 제작할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 이와 같은 HSQ 직접 printing 기술을 이용하여 HSQ 아날로그 나노 패턴을 제작하고 이의 응용기술에 대한 연구를 진행하였다.

Although the Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been used in the aircraft industry owing to its excellent mechanical properties and low density, the low formability of the alloy hinders broadening its applications. Recently, laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) has become a novel process for overcoming the limitations of the alloy (i.e., low formability), owing to the high degree of design freedom for the geometry of products having outstanding performance used in high-tech applications. In this study, to investigate the effect of bulk shape on the microstructure and mechanical properties of L-PBFed Ti-6Al-4V alloys, two types of samples are fabricated using L-PBF: thick and thin samples. The thick sample exhibits lower strength and higher ductility than the thin sample owing to the larger grain size and lower residual dislocation density of the thick sample because of the heat input during the L-PBF process.

3D-Printing is one of the most innovative technologies that will be widely used in the 21st century. 3D-Printing also serves as an indispensable tool in STEAM education. In this article, we introduce what we have done in our mathematical modeling class in Uni. and recent R&E project under the support of Korean Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity. We planned a model of STEAM education originating from our wish to make tangible models that use mathematical formulas to express the natural beauty of an object. We used a free, open-source software, Sage, to simulate these models online. Then, we created a program that generates a .STL file from these 3D images. This model can help students understand the natural beauty inherent in mathematics and use formulas and technology tools to simulate models in 3D. Finally, we were able to help students to create their own. STL files through a website we developed by adding Sage code into a Sage notebook. Then students can make and hold a 3D object of their very own. This process shows the possibility that mathematics, art and 3D-Printing can be effectively used to achieve the goals of STEAM education.
