  • 전자패키징을 포함한 마이크로시스템 패키징의 재료 및 어셈블리 기술에 관련한 도전성 접착제 및 접속 기술을 개략적으로 소개하였다. 이와 같은 도전성 접착제 및 접속 기술은 종래 사용되어 왔던 Pb 솔더의 환경, 인체에의 악영향 등으로 인한 무연(Pb-free) 솔더의 개발과 함께 차세대 솔더의 대체 재료 및 접속 기술로서 주목받고 있다. 도전성 접착제는 이미 반도체 집적회로를 기판에 접합하는 등 널리 사용되고 있지만 최근 도전성 접착제에 대한 수요와 시장 규모가 증가하는 추세이며 더 나아가 그 응용 범위가 점차로 확대되어 가고 있다. 특히 국제적 규약에 의한 무연 솔더의 사용이 의무화됨에 따라 전기적 접속성, 열 도전성, 접합성 등 기본 솔더에 버금가는 특성을 확보하기 위한 새로운 재료의 개발 및 공정에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 선진국에서는 이러한 기술의 필요성을 인식하고 많은 연구 인력, 시설 및 정보 공유 등을 통해 활발한 투자와 연구개발이 진행되고 있다. 이에 한국에서도 국제 경쟁력을 향상시키고 차세대 첨단 산업 분야의 신기술 확보를 위해 체계적인 연구 활동을 위한 노력이 절실히 요구된다.

  • IT 기술은 최근 20 년간 많은 변화를 가져왔다. 직무를 수행하는 기술자는 변화하는 IT 기술에 맞추어 자신의 기술능력을 개발하고 학습했다. 하지만, 체계를 갖춘 직무구분, 직무에 필요한 IT 기술요소의 정리 및 효과적인 교육과 향상된 기술력에 대한 적절한 평가 및 검증 체계의 부족함을 인지하고 있다. 일례로 ISP 혹은 HRD 컨설팅 서비스를 제공하는 회사도 결과를 도출하는 자사의 프레임워크는 가지고 있으나, IT 기업에 적용해야 하는 적합한 직무체계 및 기술요소의 분류, 평가 및 검증 체계는 제공해 주지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 IT 기업의 기술능력 향상에 필요한 체계 및 IT 산업계에서 인정하는 표준 직무, 기술, 평가 및 검증에 대한 방향과 이를 실제 기업에서 적용한 적용사례를 바탕으로 그 효율성에 대한 효과를 보여 주고자 한다.

  • Recently, low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology has gained a remarkable application potential in sensors, actuators and microsystems fields. In this study, we investigated the effects of annealing treatment on the electrical properties of $Pb(ZrTi)O_3$ (PZT) thin films deposited on LTCC substrate. The LTCC substrates with thickness of 400 ${\mu}m$ were fabricated by laminating 12 green tapes which consist of alumina and glass particle in an organic binder. The PZT thin films were deposited on Au/LTCC substrates by RF magnetron sputtering method. Then, the change of the crystallization of the films was investigated under various annealing temperatures. The results showed that the crystallization of the films were enhanced as increasing annealing temperatures. The film, annealed at $700^{\circ}C$, 3min, was well crystallized in the ferovskite structure. The structural variation of the films were analyzed by using X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and field emmision scanning electron microscopy (FESEM).

  • This paper presents the development of a microsystem for whole blood purification and electrophysiological analysis of the purified cells. Magnetophoresis using continuous diamagnetic capture (DMC) was utilized for whole cell purification and electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was utilized for electrophysiological analysis of the purified cells. The system was developed on silicon and plastic substrates utilizing conventional microfabrication technologies and plastic microfabrication technologies. Using the magnetophoretic microseparator, white blood cells were purified from a sample of whole blood. The experimental results of the DMC microseparator show that 89.7% of the red blood cells (RBCs) and 72.7% of the white blood cells (WBCs) could be continuously separated out from a whole blood using an external magnetic flux of 0.2 T. EIS was used as a downstream whole cell analysis tool to study the electrophysiological characteristics of purified cells. In this work, primary cultured bovine chromaffin cells and human red blood cells were characterized using EIS. Further analysis capabilities of the EIS were demonstrated by successfully obtaining unique impedance signatures for chromaffin cells based on the whole cell ion channel activity.

  • We have investigated the microwave properties of a high-T$_c$. superconducting Josephson junction by Shapiro step measurements. A Josephson junction was fabricated on the bicrystal MgO substrate using pulsed laser deposition method. We have measured Shapiro steps in the I-V characteristics under the irradiation of 1.36 cm wavelength up to 45 K and found inclined current steps above 50 K. In order to understand these results, we introduced an additional resistance connected in series to RSJ model. Using this modified RSJ model, we could explain the inclined current steps as a result of superposition of the junction and an additional resistance above certain temperatures. Also, we presented the received power of the Josephson junction above 50 K.

  • A paradigm shift is taking place in medicine and dentistry from using synthetic implants and tissue grafts to a tissue engineering approach that uses degradable porous three-dimensional (3D) material hydrogels integrated with cells and bioactive factors to regenerate tissues such as dental bone and other oral tissues. Hydrogels have been established as a biomaterial of choice for many years, as they offer diverse properties that make them ideal in regenerative medicine, including dental applications. Being highly biocompatible and similar to native extracellular matrix, hydrogels have emerged as ideal candidates in the design of 3D scaffolds for tissue regeneration and drug delivery applications. However, precise control over hydrogel properties, such as porosity, pore size, and pore interconnectivity, remains a challenge. Traditional techniques for creating conventional crosslinked polymers have demonstrated limited success in the formation of hydrogels with large pore size, thus limiting cellular infiltration, tissue ingrowth, vascularization, and matrix mineralization (in the case of bone) of tissue-engineered constructs. Emerging technologies have demonstrated the ability to control microarchitectural features in hydrogels such as the creation of large pore size, porosity, and pore interconnectivity, thus allowing the creation of engineered hydrogel scaffolds with a structure and function closely mimicking native tissues. In this review, we explore the various technologies available for the preparation of macroporous scaffolds and their potential applications.

  • In general, a wireless communication device has employed a whip antenna or a stubby antenna. Recently, wireless communication device is increasingly employing an embedded antenna, Intenna, for the sake of miniaturization. Further, it may employ both external and embedded antennas. Examples of the embedded antenna include a multi-band monopole antenna, which radiates uniformly in all directions when viewed from above, and a planar inverted F antenna (PIFA), which is a variation of the monopole antenna. However, since the conventional antenna is mounted in a finished state on the mobile communication terminal, there is a limitation of space required for providing the antenna. According to the present study, there is provided an Intenna that is deposited on a front or back case of the mobile communication terminal by a sputtering method. Accordingly, it is possible to overcome a limitation of space required for providing the Intenna and to improve the performance of the Intenna formed on the front or back case of the mobile communication terminal.

  • 마이크로, 나노유체 (micro-, nanofluidics)을 이용한 종이 기반 분석 소자 (paper-based analytical devices, micro-PADs)에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 종이 기반의 분석 소자는 초저가의 비용과 간단한 공정 방법으로 인하여 상용화 컨셉의 바이오센서로 각광받고 있다. 하지만, 종이 기반의 분석 소자는 낮은 검출 한계 (limit of detection, LOD)와 민감도 (sensitivity)의 제한이 있다. 그로 인해 우리는 이온 선택적 투과층 (ion permselective membrane, i.e. Nafion)을 종이 기반의 분석 소자와 결합하여 이온 농도 분극 (ion concentration polarization, ICP) 현상을 구현하여 낮은 검출한계와 민감도를 개선할 수 있었다. 접착력이 있는 테이프 표면에 이온 선택적 투과층을 패터닝 (patterning)하여 종이 기반 분석 소자와 결합하여 매우 간단하게 소자를 제작할 수 있었다. 따라서 종이 기반의 채널 양단에 직류 전압을 인가했을 때 발생하는 ICP 현상으로 인하여 형광 물질 (fluorescence dye)이 농축(preconcentration)되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 구체적으로, 초기 농도가 1.55 nM인 형광 물질을 이용하여 200 V의 외부전압을 인가했을 때, 500 초 이내에 1000 배 이상의 농축비를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서, 외부 전압을 상용화된 건전지 출력값으로 낮출 수 있다면 다양한 종이 기반 분석 소자와 간단한 결합 방법을 통해 상용화 컨셉의 바이오센서로도 구현이 가능할 것이다.

  • Peer to Peer (P2P) utilizes the resources of an offered service without the need for a central server or preexistent server-client, making it a desirable network environment for data exchange based on direct connection between peers. Proposed by Sun Microsystems. JXTA(Juxtapose) is a typical P2P system and distributed computing model that does not require central service resources and is flexible to deal with various network configuration changes. Meanwhile. Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork(MANET) is a typical wireless network configured with mobile nodes and without an infrastructure. where a network is established by direct connection or through other peers in the propagation area. Thus, MANET maintains the latest path information by establishing paths and changing path information for communication between peers in a highly mobile wireless network. Accordingly. this article proposes the JXTAMANET method for wireless networks to enable JXTA to be applied to MANET. NS2 is used to evaluate the performance and the proposed architecture is shown to produce better results than a conventional flooding method.
