This work reports the tunneling effects of the lateral field emitters. Tunneling effect is applicable to the VMFS(vacuum magnetic field sensors). VMFS uses the fact that the trajectory of the emitted electrons are curved by the magnetic field due to Lorentz force. Polysilicon was used as field emitters and anode materials. Thickness of the emitter and the anode were $2\;{\mu}m$, respectively. PSG(phospho-silicate-glass) was used as a sacrificial layer and it was etched by HF at a releasing step. Cantilevers were doped with $POCl_3(10^{20}cm^{-3})$. $2{\mu}m$-thick cantilevers were fabricated onto PSG($2{\mu}m$-thick). Sublimation drying method was used at releasing step to avoid stiction. Then, device was vacuum sealed. Device was fixed to a sodalime-glass #1 with silver paste and it was wire bonded. Glass #1 has a predefined hole and a sputtered silicon-film at backside. The front-side of the device was sealed with sodalime-glass #2 using the glass frit. After getter insertion via the hole, backside of the glass #1 was bonded electrostatically with the sodalime-glass #3 at $10^{-6}\;torr$. After sealing, getter was activated. Sealing was successful to operate the tunneling device. The packaged VMFS showed very small reduced emission current compared with the chamber test prior to sealing. The emission currents were changed when the magnetic field was induced. The sensitivity of the device was about 3%/T at about 1 Tesla magnetic field.

The artificial aggregates (AAs) were manufactured from the parent batch powders consisting of bottom ash containing excess unburned carbon and dredged soil, 7 : 3 weight ratio by direct sintering method and those physical properties were evaluated. Especially, the effects of waste glass or frit (NWG) which was made by addition of 5 wt% $Na_2O$ to the waste glass upon the bloating phenomenon of AAs were analyzed. The AAs manufactured from the parent batch powders showed a lower specific gravity than that of specimens containing waste glass or NWG due to excess u$Na_2O$nburned carbon which usually obstructs a sintering process. But, the waste glass added on parent batch powders promoted the sintering and densification thus increased the specific gravity of AAs. Also the specific gravity of AAs added with 5 wt% NWG, was lowered compared to that of AAs added with as-received waste glass. This is because of bloating of shell which captures gases owing to the lowered viscosity of liquid formed at the specimen surface caused by $Na_2O$ addition. In conclusion, the AAs sintered at above $1100^{\circ}C$ in this study showed characters of lightweight aggregate of specific gravity 1.15~1.34 and water absorption 11~19 %, and the bloating phenomenon of AAs was occurred at the shell rather black core part.

To develop mobile phone antenna modules, glass-ceramics composites that are 20∼80 dielectric constant materials which has been fabricated. The glass-ceramics composites were based in the BNT (BaO-Nd$_2$O$_3$-TiO$_2$), and properties-a sintering and dielectric property-were investigated in its composites according to the $K_2$O-CaO-P$_2$O$_{5}$ system glass frits. The prepared ceramics were sintered at 900∼120$0^{\circ}C$ with the glass frit contents ranging from 10 to 40 wt%. The shrinkage and relative density grew into increasing glass frits and sintering temperature. Sintered composites showed the tendency that the dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$$_{r}$) and quality factor (Q${\times}$f) decreased in increasing glass frits and sintering temperature.

The microwave dielectric properties of $CaZrO_3$ ceramics with addition of $CaTiO_3$ were studied. The effect of glass addition on the low-temperature sintering and microwave dielectric properties of $CaZrO_3-CaTiO_3$ ceramics were also evaluated to develop the materials for functional substrates of low-temperature co-fired ceramics. When $10-20 wt\%$ of lithium borosilicate glass was added, the sintering temperature of the $CaZrO_3-CaTiO_3$ ceramics decreased from $1450^{\circ}C$ to below $900^{\circ}C$. As the $T_f$ of glass frits and $CaZrO_3$ are slightly negative and that of $CaTiO_3$ is significantly positive, zero $T_f$ could be realized by mixing an appropriate amount of $CaTiO_3$ with $CaZrO_3$. The $CaZrO_3-CaTiO_3$ ceramics sintered at $875^{\circ}C$ with $15wt\%$ glass frits showed the relative density of $98\%$, permittivity of 23, quality factor of 2500 GHz, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of $ -3 ppm/^{\circ}C$.

결정질 실리콘 태양전지의 전면 전극은 전극 면적으로 인한 손실(shading loss)를 줄이고 단락전류밀도(Jsc)를 높이기 위해 전극 너비를 줄이는 노력을 하고 있다. 하지만 전극 소성(firing) 시 전면 전극의 핑거(finger)와 버스바(busbar)의 너비 차이로 인해 전극 침투(fire-through) 정도가 달라질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 전극 소성 공정 시 전면 전극의 너비에 따른 전극 침투 정도를 조사하기 위해 접촉 저항(specific contact resistance)과 재결정화(Ag recrystallite) 된 전면전극의 분포에 대해 비교하였다. 접촉 저항을 측정하기 위하여 transfer length method(TLM)를 이용하였다. 또한 전면 전극층을 제거한 후 실리콘 기판의 재결정 분포를 주사전자현미경(Scanning electron microscope : SEM)을 이용하여 관찰하였다.

현재 PDP(Plasma Display Panel) 투명유전체층은 PbO 계열을 사용하고 있으나 제조공정 시 다량의 중금속 페기물이 방출됨에 따라 환경오염을 야기시킴으로 무연조성이며 저온소성이 가능한 저융점유리인 인산염계 유리에 대한 열적, 화학적, 광학적 특성에 대해 체계적인 연구가 진행되었다. 광학적 특성을 위 한 승온속도, 소성온도, 유지시간의 변화 그리고, 프릿 입도에 따른 광 투광성, 기포의 형성, 그리고 기포의 분포특성을 연구하였다. 열적특성은 DTA와 TMA를 이용하여 유리전이점(Tg) 및 선팽창계수(CTE)와 Littleton softning point (Ts)가 측정되었다. 광학적특성은 스크린프린팅법으로 후막 제조 후 소성하여 UV-visible spectrometer을 이용하여 300~800nm영역에서 투광성을 측정하였으며, FEG-SEM, AFM을 이용해 표면을 관찰하였다. 결과로써, Tg는 440-46$0^{\circ}C$ 와 CTE는 7~8.5$\times$$10^{-6}$K값을 보였고 높은 화학적 내구성과 60-80%의 광투과율을 나타내었다. 프릿의 미세화, 숭온속도의 감소는 기포의 생성을 줄이는데 효과를 보였으며, 그 결과 양호한 광투과율을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과에 따르면, P$_2$O$_{5}$-ZnO-RO 조성은 PDP용 투명유전체 조성으로써 기존의 PbO계열을 대체할만한 새로운 조성으로 고려된다.

The mechanical properties of barrier ribs in PDP require quantification in order to control the defects and to increase the yield in the process. Several different types of rib materials were tested for hardness (H) and Young's modulus (E) with a microtip indenter (Berkovich type). For the assessment of fracture toughness of the rib, a macro Vikers indenter was used. The materials with 30wt% of filler were fired at between $490^{\circ}C$ and $570^{\circ}C$. As a result, the composite became fully densified at $520^{\circ}C$, which is near the T s (Littleton softening point) of glass frit. As the filler content increased, the fracture toughness also $(K_{IC})$ increased in the range of 0.60 to 2.63 $MPa{\cdot}m^{0.5}$ after sintering at $550^{\circ}C$. The results suggest that the application of a nano-indenter would be useful for testing the mechanical properties of barrier ribs.

Recently, macroporous ceramic materials with high electrical conductivity and mechanical strength are urgently needed for semiconductor and display manufacturing devices. In this work, we obtained electro-conducting macroporous aluminosilicate ceramics having surface resistivity of 108~1,010 ohm by dispersing electro-conducting carbon in ceramic matrix. By addition of 0.5~3.0 wt% frit glass, chemical bonding between grains was strengthened, and flexural strength was enhanced up to 160 MPa as a result. We evaluated the characteristics of present ceramics as vacuum chuck module for liquid crystal display display manufacturing devices.

The effects of paste materials on field emission properties in a carbon nanotube(CNT) cathode were investigated for high-efficient field emission displays. The major components in CNT paste for screen printing were a metallic Ag-paste, a dielectric glass-frit and CNT ink. The emission current from the cathode by an electron tunneling effect increased with an increase in the dielectric material fraction in the CNT paste, which is related to an increase of field enhancement factor in Fowler-Nordheim equation. The surface treatment used, after soft baking of the screen-printed CNT films, greatly affected the decrease in the turn-on field in CNT cathode and the uniformity of emission sites over the entire CNT film area.

Reflection properties, such as specular reflection and diffuse reflection, are very important optical properties for the reflector, which has high reflectance in the display and architecture industry. Calcite is lowcost, nontoxic, and stable over a wide temperature range. Therefore, it is one of the most widely using fillers in many industries and has some advantages over titania as a filler to improve reflectance. However, optical properties, especially those of ceramic-filled composites, have not been analyzed. We studied the reflectance of calcite composites with their surface roughness. The reflectance of the composites was determined using a UV-visible spectrometer. The surface morphology and the micro-structure of the composites were investigated by atomic force microscope. The reflectance of the composites was improved by increasing the content of calcite in the calcite-frit composite. The reflectance is related with the surface roughness in the composites. However, the reflectance depends on the calcite contents in materials with similar surface roughness.
