  • Patent number: 11940368
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for pre-detecting a defective porous polymer substrate for a separator, including selecting a porous polymer substrate having a plurality of pores; observing the selected porous polymer substrate with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to obtain an image of the porous polymer substrate; quantifying the average value of pore distribution index (PDI); correcting the quantified average value of pore distribution index to obtain the corrected average value of pore distribution index; determining whether or not the corrected average value of pore distribution index is 60 a.u. (arbitrary unit) or less; and classifying the porous polymer substrate as a good product, when the corrected average value of pore distribution index is determined to be 60 a.u. or less, and classifying the porous polymer substrate as a defective product, when the corrected average value of pore distribution index is determined to be larger than 60 a.u.

  • Publication number: 20100264017
    Abstract: A method for depositing a ceramic thin film by sputtering is provided to increase deposition rate of the ceramic thin film and to enhance the uniformity of a deposited thin film, which are accomplished by positioning a nonconductive target within a vacuum chamber, and applying an AC/RF power to the target to produce plasma within the chamber, followed by the application of a hybrid power in combination of an AC/RF power and a DC power to the target to proceed a sputtering process inside the vacuum chamber, such that the ceramic thin film is deposited on a substrate placed in the vacuum chamber.

  • Publication number: 20060168392
    Abstract: Provided is a file system for effectively using a flash memory. The file system includes a meta block for storing various file information, a data block where data is really stored, and an info block for storing information on the data block. Unlike the conventional method, the file system is designed not to allow one file to use a particular memory region, therefore it prevents a particular block in the flash memory from wearing at a faster rate than the other blocks. Further, the file system provides an effect of wear leveling of all blocks in the flash memory by using the entire memory region uniformly.
