Abstract:
Provided are a wafer-level lens module and an image pickup module including the same. The wafer lens module includes a plurality wafer-scale lenses. At least one of the plurality of wafer-scale lenses, such as a wafer-scale lens positioned toward an object side, includes a substrate and a glass lens element formed on one side of the substrate. The glass lens element may be a one-sided lens or a double-sided lens. When the glass lens is a double-sided lens, the substrate may have a through hole. The remaining wafer-scale lenses each include a substrate and polymer lens elements made of UV curable polymer and formed on both sides of the substrate. Also, spacers are interposed between the wafer-scale lenses, along the edge portions of the substrates, so as to maintain predetermined intervals between the wafer-scale lenses.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a polymer composite having an electrically conducting material dispersed therein. In the composite, a silane coupling agent may be covalently bonded with a metal oxide impregnated on the surface of the electrically conducting material to surround the electrically conducting material, thereby retaining high dielectric properties and realizing a low dielectric loss.
Abstract:
Provided is a dispersant including a hydrophobic moiety with a branched alkyl group and an arylene group and a hydrophilic moiety with an alkylene oxide group and a carboxylic acid group. The alkyl group is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group of 5-30 carbon atoms, the arylene group is a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group of 6-30 carbon atoms, and the alkylene oxide group is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene oxide group of 2-10 carbon atoms. The dispersant has good dispersibility, and a low residual carbon content after sintering. Thus, a paste composition including the dispersant can maintain a low viscosity and disperse many inorganic particles. Thus, an inorganic device prepared using the paste composition can have a low residual carbon content and a high packing density.
Abstract:
A vertical transistor includes a semiconductor substrate provided with a pillar type active pattern over the surface thereof. A first tensile layer is formed over the semiconductor substrate and around the lower end portion of the pillar type active pattern, and a second tensile layer is formed over the upper end portion of the pillar type active pattern so that a tensile stress is applied in a vertical direction to the pillar type active pattern. A first junction region is formed within the surface of the semiconductor substrate below the first tensile layer and the pillar type active pattern. A gate is formed so as to surround at least a portion of the pillar type active pattern. A second junction region is formed within the upper end portion of the pillar type active pattern.
Abstract:
A sulfide phosphor paste composition comprising a sulfur-containing dispersant, and a fluorescent film prepared therefrom, are provided. The sulfur-containing dispersant has a dual head structure containing both a carboxyl group and a thiol group or a structure containing a thiol or thiophene group as a head group. An oligomeric sulfur-containing dispersant is also provided. Adsorption of the dispersant on the surface of the sulfide phosphor prevents aggregation of the phosphor particles, and thereby improves the dispersibility of the sulfide phosphor paste composition, the homogeneity of the phosphor in the paste composition, and the density of a film produced from the paste composition. Fluorescent films and display devices produced from the phosphor paste composition exhibit improved luminescent properties and excellent processability.

Abstract:
A mixed dispersant which can improve the efficiency of dispersing metal powder by effectively adsorbing on the surface of the metal powder and preventing aggregation thereof, and a paste composition and a dispersion method using the same are provided. A multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is also provided. The mixed dispersant includes a basic dispersant and an acidic dispersant in accordance with the acidity and basicity of nickel metal powder and thus can achieve an optimal dispersion efficiency. An improvement in the dispersion efficiency as such can consequently suppress aggregation of the nickel metal powder during the preparation of a conductive paste composition containing a nickel metal powder, and therefore a larger amount of the nickel metal powder can be used in the paste composition. The increased amount of nickel metal powder allows producing an internal nickel electrode having improved electric properties and mechanical properties during the production of MLCCs.

An inductor embedded in a substrate, including a substrate, a coil electrode formed by filling a metal in a spiral hole formed on the substrate, an insulation layer formed on the substrate, and an external connection pad formed on the insulation layer to be connected to the coil electrode. The inductor-embedded substrate can be used as a cap for a micro device package by forming a cavity on its bottom surface.
Abstract:
A proton conductor for fuel cells including a hydrophilic block and a hydrophobic block, an electrode for fuel cells employing the same and a fuel cell employing the electrode. The proton conductor, which is phosphoric acid based mono-ester or di-ester including an amphiphilic block, is added during the preparation of catalyst layers, and thus the viscosity of the composition may decrease and the dispersion thereof can be improved. Since the proton conductor has an amphiphilic property, the distribution of phosphoric acid can be effectively controlled. Thus, efficiency of the catalyst is improved, and fuel cells having improved efficiency can be prepared by employing an electrode including the catalyst.
