Abstract:
The method of the present invention comprises the steps of: providing an IC chip having I/O pads, each having a non-solder bump such as Au or Cu stud bump or Ni\Cu\Au bump formed thereon, and a substrate having metal electrodes formed thereon; applying a film-type non-conductive adhesive (NCA) to the chip or substrate, the adhesive including solid-phase bisphenol A type epoxy resin, liquid-phase bisphenol F type epoxy resin, solid-phase phenoxy resin, methylethylketone/toluene solvent, liquid-phase hardener, and non-conductive particles; and thermo-compressing the IC chip to the substrate so that the non-solder bump and the metal electrode can be mechanically and electrically connected. The NCA of the present invention has high reliability since it has lower thermal expansion coefficient and dielectric constant than conventional NCAs and has excellent mechanical and electrical characteristics. In addition, the NCA can be effectively selected at need and applied to diverse processes since it can be made to a form of paste rather than film. The method of the present invention is harmless to the environment since it does not employ conventional solder bumps using solder as a chief ingredient.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a bearing assembly capable of assuring mechanical strength and reducing a friction coefficient and stress concentration, and a method for manufacturing the same. The present invention comprises a spherical journal and a hemispherical bearing that is made of a fiber reinforced composite and has a bearing surface for establishing a spherical pair with the spherical journal. The fiber reinforced composite can be constructed by arranging a uni-directional prepreg, woven fiber prepregs and staple-fiber prepregs in a variety of configurations, and thermoplastic resin particles or self-lubrication particles are uniformly provided on the bearing surface. It is possible to alleviate stress concentration generated on the bearing surface by forming a plurality of air channels capable of imparting directivity on an outer surface of the hemispherical bearing.

Disclosed are a metallic nanoparticle cluster ink and a method for forming a conductive metal pattern using the cluster ink. The metallic nanoparticle cluster ink comprises colloidal metallic nanoparticles and a bifunctional compound. The conductive metal pattern is formed by forming a metallic nanoparticle pattern on a substrate using a mold made from PDMS (poly(dimethylsiloxane) polymer as a stamp, and heat-treating the substrate. Micrometer-sized conductive metal patterns can be easily formed on various substrates in a simple and inexpensive manner without the use of costly systems, thereby being very useful in various industrial fields.
Abstract:
The propeller shaft comprises a transmission shaft 10 consisting of a hollow metal tube 11 with excellent torque transmissibility and a composite material prepregs 12 having higher specific stiffness than a metal material and stacked to the inner surface of the metal tube, and metal yokes 40 mounted on both ends of the transmission shaft and assembled with other devices. The composite material prepregs is co-cure bonded while applying an axial compressive preload to the transmission shaft and creating a vacuum in a space between a vacuum bag inserted in the transmission shaft and the composite material prepregs of the transmission shaft. Teeth 43 or embossments 44, and adhesive-retaining grooves 45 are formed on inner surfaces of the metal yokes, so the transmission shaft is desirably compression-fitted into the metal yokes. Accordingly, the propeller shaft has advantages of securing improved impact, abrasion, and water resistance.
Abstract:
A polymer/ceramic composite paste for an embedded capacitor includes an organic solvent, a ceramic powder having a particle diameter of not more than 20 μm dispersed in the organic solvent, a polymer and a hardener. The use of the polymer/ceramic composite paste enables the formation of a dielectric layer having a high dielectric constant. The polymer/ceramic composite paste can be applied by a screen printing technique and is planarized to locally form a polymer/ceramic composite dielectric layer having a thickness of, e.g., up to 20 μm on a desired region. Accordingly, electrical parasitics resulting from the formation of a capacitor on unwanted regions can be reduced, and the capacitance error can be reduced.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a preparation method of an exfoliated nitropolymer/silicate nanocomposite by emulsion polymerization of monomers forming the polymer in an aqueous dispersion of non-modified, layered silicate in the presence of a reactive emulsifier having both a radical-polymerizable vinyl group and a functional group with affinity for silicate. In the process of the polymerization, silicate is fully exfoliated and uniformly dispersed in the polymer. Therefore, only a small amount of silicate is sufficient to improve thermal and mechanical properties of the polymer. Further, the method is advantageous in terms of a simple preparation process due to no use of organo-modified silicate, thus achieving an economic benefit.
Abstract:
Apparatus for a photo-induced process are provided, which implement a transparent film (instead of an optical window), to reduce light absorption loss that would result from use of an optical window. A photo-induced process apparatus eliminates problems of conventional systems which use optical windows, such as blurring an optical window and the surface of a light source, photo absorption loss due to the optical window and/or a purge cleaning gas, and dust generation by a moving part such as a flexible curtain. A photo-induced process apparatus efficiently utilizes light emitted from a light source.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in an OTP ROM cell having a first input terminal, a second input terminal and a third input terminal, wherein the OTP ROM stores data by means of a voltage applied to the first to third input terminals, the OTP ROM cell includes a cell access transistor having a gate and drain forming the second input terminal and a source forming the first input terminal, wherein the cell access transistor is activated by a voltage applied to between the gate and source, a high-voltage blocking transistor having a gate, a drain and a source connected to the drain of the cell access transistor, wherein the high-voltage blocking transistor allows the current to flow from the drain to the source by means of a bias voltage applied to the gate, thus blocking the high voltage applied to the third input terminal from being directly applied to the cell access transistor, and an antifuse transistor having a gate forming the third input terminal, and source and drain both of which are connected to each other and are then connected to the drain of the high-voltage blocking transistor, wherein a high voltage is applied to the third input terminal and if the cell access transistor is activated, gate oxide is broken and shorted.
