Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The NANO KOREA Symposium, Korea’s largest symposium on nanoscale science and technology, is a meaningful occasion to confirm major research results and up-to-date research trends in Korea and overseas. The NANO KOREA 2022 Symposium, which will be held from 6 to 8 July 2022 in KINTEX, Korea, consists of advanced programs along with the main theme of ‘Nanofabrication: Connecting Science and Technology For Better Life’. The NANO KOREA Symposium 2022 Special Issue will contain research results and reviews about the most important and latest developments and future trends or visions for the convergence of various technologies from the nano- to the microscopic scale. The symposium programs will cover the following main topics: Nano Energy Harvesting.

In this study, experiments, simulations, and optimization were performed to evaluate heat transfer performance of ferrofluids. Ferrofluids are colloidal suspensions containing magnetic-nano particles with a diameter of 5 to 15 nm in a base fluid such as oil or water. Recently, as many devices are miniaturized, the design of heat dissipation systems are being diversified to consider cost and safety, and it is becoming important to separate an ancillary device for cooling from main unit. In ferrofluids, the behavior and vortex of magnetic-nano particles are actively generated by an external magnetic field, and the cooling system can be designed in a simplified manner by using this characteristic. The main design parameter is the arrangement of permanent magnets, and the output variable is the temperature inside the magnetic nanofluid. The permanent magnet can be moved up and down, and the temperature inside the magnetic nanofluid was measured at various locations. A predictive model was created using a design of experiments (DOE) and response surface method (RSM) using selected design and temperature variables. Based on the generated regression model, an optimization was applied to find a permanent magnet arrangement that maximizes heat transfer performance. Through the optimization technique used in this study, economic efficiency in terms of time and cost was obtained by reducing the number of experiments. Full article

Maximizing productivity is one of the most critical factors for competitiveness in the manufacturing industry. Needless to say, the semiconductor industry, in which the automation rate is relatively high and the manufacturing process continues 24 h a day, requires high productivity to be maintained. This paper is about a model that analyzes the cause of an increase in time needed for the whole photolithography process and automatically classifies it in real-time by machine learning. The time analytics model based on a k-means algorithm divides the processing time into four hundred detailed time steps and classifies causes through normalizing and clustering processes. Further, true/false measures of performance were employed based on the confusion matrix. To increase the accuracy of the model, the classified cause becomes a source for creating a new algorithm that can detect problems quickly and accurately. A small number of wafers that the system has failed to classify has accumulated in the database to increase the frequency of occurrence. As a result of evaluating the time analytics model in the photolithography extreme ultraviolet (EUV) equipment, the model has classified 98.6% of the wafers that exceed the limitation. Continuous updates of new phenomena that will be generated from advanced technologies will be more important than the current classification ability. We are accumulating unclassified data for a sustainable system and will continue to classify by synthesizing new phenomena. Data classified in real-time with high accuracy become a steppingstone for maintaining high productivity. Production equipment and processes are developed to enhance individual characteristics. Nevertheless, a data mining method that divides the process time can also be widely used in manufacturing processes of other fields. Full article
