There appears lateral capillary force in a hydrophilic flat needle employed for the fabrication of fine organic thin-film stripes, bringing in an increase of the stripe width. It also causes the stripe thickness to increase with increasing coating speed, which is hardly observed in a normal coating process. Through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, we demonstrate that the lateral capillary flow can be substantially suppressed by increasing the contact angle of the needle end. Based on the simulation results, we have coated the outer surface of the flat needle with a hydrophobic material (polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with the water contact angle of 104°). Using such a hydrophobic needle, we can suppress the lateral capillary flow of an aqueous poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) to a great extent, rendering the stripe narrow (63 ㎛ at 30 mm/s). Consequently, the stripe thickness is decreased as the coating speed increases. To demonstrate its applicability to solution-processable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), we have also fabricated OLED with the fine PEDOT: PSS stripe and observed the strong light-emitting stripe with the width of about 68 ㎛.

In this work, the yttrium oxide($Y_2O_3$) thin films as the buffer layer were prepared by the simple solution coating and reel-to-reel process on an unpolished metal tape substrate. The $Y_2O_3$ thin films were successfully synthesized by the hydrolysis of yttrium acetate. We have studied the improvement of surface roughness with the concentration of solution(0.1 M, 0.4 M, M) and the number of coatings. The planarization by solution coating process is simple in comparison with the existing polishing process, and it is eco-friendly, and has the benefits of low cost process. The thickness of $Y_2O_3$ films was increased with the $Y_2O_3$ concentration in the solution, and the surface became smoother with the number of coating cycles. Using this process, we have achieved 1.2 nm RMS roughness from a starting roughness of over 31 nm on 25 ${\mu}m^2$ area.

전자선 증착기를 이용하여 1.3$\mu\textrm{m}$ 광모드 변환기가 집적된 반도체 레이저 출력 단면에 $SiO_2$와 $TiO_2$ 두 개의 박막 층으로 무반사 증착 하였다. 증착 단면의 최소 단면 반사율 $~ 10^{-5}$을 얻었고, $~ 10^{-4}$이하 단면 반사율 밴드 폭은 약 27nm임을 측정하였다. 이러한 코팅은 외부 공진기 레이저 광원 및 반도체 광 증폭기 등에 응용 가능하다.

High speed wire seam weldability of tin coated thin gage sheet steels was investigated. Thickness and coating weight ranges of the test materials were 0.21~0.35mm and 1.1/1.1~2.8/11.2g/$m^2$, respectively. Test results indicated that the surface roughness value, Rz decreased as increasing the coating weight. The Rz was thought to be one of the important factors to influence the optimum welding condition range, $\triangle$Q. The $\triangle$Q showed close relationship with welding conditions such as welding pressure and travel speed. Higher welding pressure widened the $\triangle$Q while higher travel speed reduced the $\triangle$Q value. Results also demonstrated that tin coating weight should be optimized based on the weldability or the serviceability after welding. At th HAZ of sheet materials with thinner coating layer, tin depleted zone was produced since molten film of the coating material on the base metal agglomerated by the surface tension, which could result in reducing the corrosion resistance of the HAZ in the service environment.

Thin films and coating technologies are used for an enormous and diverse set of application including mechanical and automotive components. Many of these applications require the various properties which can be used for decreasing wear, friction and cost, and increasing the long life. The relationship between the load and the stress is usually nonlinear. The material is often apt to deform plastically under the low loads. Numerical method may be used for some simple problems of the coating. If the property of coating and base materials are inhomogeneous and the geometry is complex, the numerical method may be recommended. In this paper, the contact normal stress of the coating layer has been solved using finite element method.

The fluid flow, mass transfer, heat transfer and film thickness variation during the spin coating process are numerically studied. The model is said to be I-dimensional because radial variations in film thickness, concentration and temperature are ignored. The finite difference method is employed to solve the equations that are simplified using the similarity transformation. In early time, the film thinning is due to the radial convective outflow. However that slows during the first seconds of spinning so the film thinning due to evaporation of solvent becomes sole. The time varing film thickness is analyzed according to the wafer spin speed, the various solvent fraction in the coating liquid, and the various solvent vapor fraction in the bulk of the overlying gas during the spin coating is estimated.

In this paper, the mechanical performance of cracked surface-coated Zircaloy cladding, which has different coating materials, coating thicknesses and initial crack lengths, has been investigated. By analyzing the stress field near the crack tip, the safety zone range of initial crack length has been decided. In order to determine whether the crack can propagate along the radial (r) or axial (z) directions, the energy release rate has been calculated. By comparing the energy release rate with fracture toughness of materials, we can divide the initial crack lengths into three zones: safety zone, discussion zone and danger zone. The results show that Cr is suitable coating material for the cladding with a thin coating while Fe-Cr-Al have a better fracture mechanical performance in the cladding with thick coating. The Si-coated and SiC-coated claddings are suitable for reactors with low power fuel elements. Conclusions in this paper can provide reference and guidance for the cladding design of nuclear fuel elements.

Photosensitive sol solution을 이용한 self pattern된 박막은 photoresist/dry etching process에 비해 박막의 제조과정이 간단하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이 연구에서는 강유전성 메모리소자의 산화물 전극재료로 사용되고 있는 La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$CoO$_3$(LSCO)극 photosensitive sol solution을 이용하여 spin coating법으로 제조하였으며 출발원료는 La-2methoxyethoxide, Sr-ethoxide, Co-2methoxyethoxide를 사용하였다. LSCO gel 박막에 UV 노광시간을 증가시킴에 따라 M(metal)-O-M 결합이 생성되면서 metal $\beta$-diketonate의 UV 흡수 피크 강도는 감소되었고 LSCO gel 박막에 UV조사에 따른 용해도 차이가 생기면서 fine patterning 을 얻을 수 있었다. 68$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도로 대기 중에서 열처리된 LSCO 박막은 perovskite 상을 나타내었고 74$0^{\circ}C$에서 가장 낮은 비저항값(4$\times$10￣$^3$Ωcm)을 얻을 수 있었다.

폴리염화비닐(polyvinylchloride, PVC)-tetrahydrofuran (THF) 용액에 PVC 비용매의 첨가와 박막 건조 공정이 PVC 박막에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 사용된 비용매는 알코올과 비알코올계로 구성되었으며, 첨가에 따른 PVC 박막의 표면 거칠기와 표면 형상의 차별성에 따른 소수성 성질을 비교하였다. PVC-THF 용액 제조과정에 발생하는 용액 내 기포 함유가 박막의 표면 구조에 미치는 영향이 큼을 확인하였다. 상대적인 고농도 PVC-THF 용액에서 코팅 박막의 정상적 표면 물성을 구현하기 위하여 적절한 박막 건조법의 선택이 요구된다. 알코올계 비용매를 첨가할 경우 과립형 형상의 다공성 표면을 갖는 PVC 박막이 얻어져 초소수성 특성을 보인다. 비용매에 대한 PVC-THF 용액의 부피 비는 코팅 박막의 표면 형상에 영향을 주며, 비용매 첨가량이 많을수록 초소수성 PVC 박막을 형성하는 데 유리하다.
