The wetting property and reflectivity of Sn-3.5Ag solder which was dip coated on a LED lead frame were investigated. The wettability of molten solder on Cu substrate was evaluated by the wetting balance tester, and surface tension was calculated from maximum withdrawal force and withdrawal time. Temperature of the molten solder in a bath was varied in the range of $250-290^{\circ}C$. With increasing temperature, the surface tension decreased a little. The reflectivity of Sn-3.5Ag coated on a substrate became a little lower than the highest current LED lead frame reflectivity.

This paper describes a method for the preparation of porous polymethylmethacrylate showing optical reflectivity from the porous silicon template. A porous polymethylmethacrylate showing optical reflectivity was prepared by replicating porous silicon template which was obtained by applying a computer-generated periodic square current density and resulted in a mirror with high reflectivity in a specific narrow spectral region. A porous polymethylmethacrylate showing an excellent reflectivity was successfully obtained by dissolving the Porous silicon template from the porous polymethylmethacrylate composite film. A porous polymethylmethacrylate exhibited a sharp reflection resonance in the reflectivity spectrum. Surface image of the porous polymethylmethacrylate indicated that the surface of the porous polymethylmethacrylate film had a porous structure. These porous polymethylmethacrylate films in aqueous solutions were stable for several days without any degradation.

The smooth surface after polishing of composite resin contributes to the patient's comfort, and appearance and longevity of the restoration. This study was performed for the quantitative analysis of the effects of the various finishing and polishing instruments on the surface roughness and reflectivity of the microfill, and hybrid composite resins. Cylindrical specimens 2mm thick and 10mm in diameter of Silux Plus, Durafill VS ; Z100, Prisma TPH, Brilliant, and Herculite XR composite resin were polymerized under the matrix strip. 18 specimens for each composite resin materials were divided into 6 groups ; 5 experimental groups were abraded with # 600 sand paper to remove resin-rich layer, except control. Thereafter, using diamond bur(Mani Dia-Burs), carbide bur(E. T. carbide set 4159), rubber point(Composite polishing kit), aluminum-oxide disk(Sof-Lex disk), polishing paste(Enhance system) ; each specimen was polished to its best achievable surface according to manufacturer's directions. Final polished surfaces were evaluated for the surface roughness with profilometer(${\alpha}$-step 200, Tencor instruments, USA) and for the reflectivity with image analyser(Omniment Image Analyser, Buehler, USA). The results were as follows. 1. Polishing paste or aluminum-oxide disk finish in the microfill, and hybrid composite resins was as smooth as matrix strip finish on the surface roughness test. 2. Polishing paste or aluminum-oxide disk finish in the microfill ; polishing paste finish in the hybrid composite resins was as reflective as matrix strip finish on the refectivity test. 3. For the polishing paste, there were no significant differences between the composite resin materials on the surface roughness and refectivity tests. 4. For the aluminum-oxide disk, the best result was obtained with the microfill composite resin on the surface roughness and reflectivity test. 5. Diamond bur, carbide bur, and rubber point were inappropriate for the final polishing instruments.

Rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) with a simplified eigenvalue problem is used to investigate the an-tireflective property of one-dimensional surface-relief gratings such as binary gratings, triangular gratings and gratings with triangle-like surface profiles. The convergence of RCWA is investigated by varying the number of layers and the number of space-harmonics used in the computation. For unpolarized light normally incident on a medium of refractive index 1.64 from vaccum, a triangle-like grating shows the reflectivity of $1.6 {\times} 10^{-4}$ in contrast to a minimum reflectivity of $3.8 {\times} 10^{-3}$ for a binary grating. We also study the dependence of reflectivity on the wavelength, and on the angle of incidence for a groove shape and depth which result in minimum reflectivity.

The surface roughness and reflectivity of electroless-plated Sn-3.5 wt%Ag on a LED (light emitting diode) lead frame were investigated. Cu electroplating was carried out prior to electroless plating of Sn-3.5Ag to improve the reflectivity of the Sn-3.5Ag deposit. In order to investigate the effect of stirring speed and temperature of the plating solution, surface roughness and reflectivity was measured. The experimental results revealed that the thickness of the deposit layer increased with stirring speed and temperature of the plating solution. Stirring speed is increased from 100 to 300 rpm, the surface roughness was reduced from 0.513 to 0.266 ${\mu}m$, and the reflectivity increased from 1.67 to 1.84 GAM. As temperature of the plating solution increased from 25 to $45^{\circ}C$, the surface roughness reduced from 0.507 to 0.350 ${\mu}m$, and the reflectivity increased from 1.68 to 1.84 GAM.

The colored films formed on 304 stainless steel plates by immersion treatment and electrochemical one in a solution containing sulphuric acids and chromic acids were studied by SEM, AES, and spectrophotometer. The thicknesses of the films by 20 minutes treatment were about 200 nm and it became thinner as the treatment times were increased. The surface texture showed a tortuous network of interlinking pathways. The color of the 304 steel surface changed from metallic white to gray, black, red, yellow-green, and green-blue, gradually, by the treatment time was increased. The reflectivity measured by UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer was reduced from max. 38% of basis metal to min. 3.5% of colored surface.

Surface Texturing is an essential process for high efficiency in multi-crystalline silicon solar cell. In order to reduce the reflectivity, there are two major methods; proper surface texturing and anti-reflection coating. For texturization, wet chemical etching is a typical method for multi-crystalline silicon. The chemical solution for wet etching consists of HF, $NHO_3$, DI and $CH_3COOH$. We carried out texturization by the change of etching time like 15sec, 30sec, 45sec, 60sec and measured the reflectivity of textured wafers. As making the silicon solar cells, we obtained the conversion efficiency and relationship between texturing condition and solar cell characteristics. The reflectivity from 300nm to 1200nm was the lowest with 15 sec texturing time and 60 sec texturing time showed almost same reflectivity as bare one. The 45 sec texturing time showed the highest conversion efficiency.

304 stainless steel plate was colored by hot dip and electrochemical treatment in a solution containing sulphuric and chromic acids. In the process, treatment variables such as operating time and methode were changed. The surface characteristics that changed by the treatment of the samples such as surface composition, oxide film thickness, color, surface roughness and reflectivity were studied. Surface composition was varied as follows. Fe was decreased, but Cr and O were increased. Ni was increased until 20 min, but reveals decreasing tendency as time passed after that. These means the surface film becomes chrome rich oxide phase as the treatment times increase. The thickness of film was about 220 nm at 30 min by dip treatment and it reduced as the treatment times increased. On the other hand, the thickness was about 150 nm at 10 min by electrochemical method and it doesn't increased with time. Surface color changed from metallic white of the base plate to gray, black, red, and green-blue, gradually, as the treating time increased. The reflectivity of colored surface measured by UVVIS-NIR spectrophotometer was reduced from max 38% of basis metal to min 3.5%.

Spectral emissivity depends on the surface conditions of the materials. The mechanisms that affect the spectral emissivity in anodic oxide films on aluminum were investigated. The aluminum specimens were anodized in a sulfuric acid solution and the thickness of the resulting oxide film formed changed with the anodizing time. FT-IR spectrum analysis identified the anodic oxide film as boehmite ($Al_2$$O_3$.$H_2$O). Both the infrared emisivity and reflectivity of the anodized aluminum were affected by the structure of the anodic oxide film because Al-OH and Al-O-Al have a pronounced absorption band in the infrared region of the spectrum. The presence of an anodic oxide film on aluminum caused a rapid drop in the infrared reflectivity. An aluminum surface in the clean state had an emissivity of approximately 0.2. However, the infrared emissivity rapidly increased to 0.91 as the thickness of the anodic oxide film increased.

Crystalline order and surface stability of 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylene-hexanitrile (HATCN) thin films on organic surface were investigated using grazing incidence wide angle x-ray scattering and x-ray reflectivity measurements. In the initial growth regime (less than 20 nm), HATCN molecules were stacked to low crystalline order with substantial amorphous phase. Meanwhile, a thicker film with 50 nm thickness showed high crystalline order of hexagonal phase with three different orientational domains. The domain distribution was quantitatively obtained as a function of tilted angle. By an organic-inorganic interface formation of IZO/HATCN thin film from an indium zinc oxide (IZO) electrode deposition, the surface stability of HATCN film was investigated and the sharp interface was confirmed by the x-ray reflectivity measurement.
