The mechanical and electrical properties of the hot-pressed and annealed $\beta-SiC-TiB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites were investigated as a function of the liquid forming additives of Al_2O_3+Y_2O_34. The result of phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed $\alpha-SIC(6H)\;TiB_2,\; and YAG(Al5Y3O12) crystal phase. The relative density and the mechanical properties of composites were increased with increasing $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_34 contents because YAG of reaction between $Al_2O_3\; and\; Y_2O_3$ was increased. The Flexural strength showed the highest value of 432.5MPa for composites added with 12wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_34 additives at room temperature. Owing to crack deflection crack bridging phase transition and TAG of fracture toughness mechanism the fracture toughness showed 7.1MPa.m1/2 for composites added with 12wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_34 additives at room temperature. The electrical resistivity and the resistance temperature coefficient showed the lowest of $6.0\times10-4\Omega.cm\; and\; 3.1\times10-3/^{\circ}C4 respectively for composite added with 12wt% \Omega additives at room temperature. The electrical resistivity of the composites was all positive temperature coefficient resistance (PTCR) in the temperature range of $25^{\circ}C\; to\; 700^{\circ}C$.

There has been increasing demand for real-time monitoring of body and ambient temperatures using wearable devices. Graphene-based thermistors have been developed for high-performance flexible temperature sensors. In this study, the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of monolayer graphene was controlled by coating polyethylenimine (PEI) on graphene surfaces to enhance its temperature-sensing performances. Monolayer graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was wet-transferred onto a target substrate. To facilitate the interfacial doping by PEI, the hydrophobic graphene surface was altered to be hydrophilic by oxygen plasma treatments while minimizing defect generation. The effect of PEI doping on graphene was confirmed using a back-gated field-effect transistor (FET). The CVD-grown monolayer graphene coated with PEI exhibited an improved TCR of -0.49(±0.03) %/K in a temperature range of 30~50℃.

Surface micromachined uncooled IR detector with the optimized VOx bolometric layer was fabricated based on sandwich structure of the V$_2$O$_{5}$V/V$_2$O$_{5}$. In order to improve the detectivity of the IR detector, we optimized a few factors in the viewpoint of bolometric material. Vanadium oxide thin film is a promising material for uncooled microbolometers due to its high temperature coefficient of resistance at room temperature. It is, however, very difficult to deposit vanadium oxide thin films having high temperature coefficient of resistance and low resistance because of process limits in microbolometer fabrication. In order to increase the responsivity and decrease noise, we increase TCR of bolometric material and decrease room temperature resistance based on the sandwich structure of the V$_2$O$_{5}$V/V$_2$O$_{5}$ by conventional sputter. By oxygen diffusion through low temperature annealing of V$_2$O$_{5}$V/V$_2$O$_{5}$ in oxygen ambient, various mixed phase vanadium oxide was formed and we obtained TCR in range of-1.2 ~-2.6%/$^{\circ}C$ at room temperature resistance of 5~100k$\Omega$.mega$.

In this study, We have been investigated the effect of calcination temperature and high-energy ball-milling of powder influences the $BaTiO_3$-based PTCR(Positive Temperature coefficient Resistance) characteristics and microstructure. The mixed powder was obtained from $BaCO_3$, $TiO_2$, $CeO_2$ ball-milled in attrition mill. The mixed powder was calcine from 1000 $^{\circ}C$ to 1200 $^{\circ}C$ in air and then it was sintered in reduction- re-oxidation atmosphere. As a result, The room-temperature electrical resistivity decreased and increased with increasing calcination temperature. specially, Attrition milled powder could have low room-temperature resistivity and high PTC jump order at 1100 $^{\circ}C$. attrition milling had lower room-temperature resistivity than ball milling. Particle size decreased by Attrition milling of powder influences in calcination temperature and room-temperature resistivity.

The mechanical and electrical properties of the hot-pressed and annealed $\beta-SiC-ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites were investigated as a function of the liquid forming additives of$Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ Phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed $\alpha-SiC(6H) ZrB_2\; and YAG(Al_5Y_3O_{12})$ The relative density of composites were increased with increased Al2O3+Y2O3 contents. The Flexural strength showed the highest value of 390.6MPa for composites added with 20wt% Al2O3+Y2O3 additives at room temperature. Owing to crack deflection crack bridging phase transition and YAG of fracture toughness mechanism the fracture toughness showed the highest value of 6.3MPa.m1/2 for composites added with 24wt% Al2O3+Y2O3 additives at room temperature.

The uncertainty in statistical noise resistance measurement was evaluated for a type 316 stainless steel in NaCl solutions at room temperature. Sensitivity coefficients were determined for measurands or variables such as NaCl concentration, pH, solution temperature, surface roughness, inert gas flow rate and bias potential amplitude. The coefficients were larger for the variables such as NaCl concentration, pH, inert gas flow rate and solution temperature, and they were the major factors increasing the combined standard uncertainty of noise resistance. However, the contribution to the uncertainty in noise resistance measurement from the above variables was remarkably low compared to that from repeated measurements of noise resistance, and thus, it is difficult to lower the uncertainty in noise resistance measurement significantly by lowering the uncertainties related with NaCl concentration, pH, inert gas flow rate and solution temperature. In addition, the uncertainty in noise resistance measurement was high amounting to 17.3 % of the mean, indicating that the reliability in measurement of noise resistance is low.

High temperature micro pressure sensors were fabricated by using polycrystalline 3C-SiC piezoresistors grown on oxidized SOI substrates by APCVD. These have been made by bulk micromachining under $1{\times}1mm^2$ diaphragm and Si membrane thickness of $20{\mu}m$. The pressure sensitivity of implemented pressure sensors was 0.1 mV/$V{\cdot}bar$. The nonlinearity and the hysteresis of sensors were ${\pm}0.44%{\cdot}FS$ and $0.61%{\cdot}FS$. In the temperature range of $25^{\circ}C{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ with 5 bar FS, TCS (temperature coefficient of sensitivity), TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance), and TCGF (temperature coefficient of gauge factor) of the sensor were -1867 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, -792 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, and -1042 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Polysilicon resistors with high thermal stability have been fabricated by a new mixed process using POCl$_{3}$ doping and arsenic implantation. Varous temeprature coefficients, which range form 510 ppm/.deg. C to -302 ppm/.deg. C, were shown from the fabricated polysilicon resistors with sheet resistance of 58~107 .ohm./sq in the operating temeprature of 27~150.deg. C. The temperature coefficient of the polysilicon resistor by the mixed technology was about 4.3 times as low compared to the conventional polysilicon resistor using POCl$_{3}$ doped single process with the same sheet resistance of 75.ohm./sq. In addition, the mixed technology can be applied to obtain nearly zero temperature coefficient for polysilicon resistors which are reliable and insensitive to temperature.
