The present study investigates the thermal characteristics of a nanoscale superconductor material. A thin-film of $YBa_2Cu_3O_7-x$ was deposited on a $SrTiO_3$ substrate by using a pulsed-laser deposition technique and characterized using an ultrafast laser system. In order to extract a thermal conductivity value, a numerical solution for a transient one-dimensional heat conduction equation was obtained using a finite-difference method. The curve-fit shows a value 1.2 W/mK, which is relatively lower than those of bulk materials. This research provides a material property of superconductor thin-film required for the thermal design of micro or nanodevices.

In this paper, a novel low-power VLSI system architecture was proposed. By exploiting software control of supply voltages, it simplifies hardware implementation, reduces power consumption efficiently, and avoids complicated interface circuits. The proposed architecture models clock frequency-supply voltage relationship by software modelling, enables individual control of supply voltages for all chips in the system, and restricts clock frequency to discrete levels of $f_{CLK}$, $f_{CLK}$2, $f_{CLK}$3... where $f_{CLK}$ is the master clock frequency A prototype system was implemented by modifying off-the-shelf microprocessor evaluation board and adding simple discrete devices such as level shifters and voltage switches. It was measured that the power consumption was reduced from 0.58W to 0.12W in the Prototype system. system.

In this work, we optimized a microbolometer for application of a $CO_2$ detector by using MEMS technology. We fabricated a stable thermal isolation structure by varying the lengths of supporting legs which affect bolometer performance. We could fabricate more stable thermal isolation structure for the microbolometer through the results of ANSYS simulations, and minimize the fabrication processes by using bulk micromachining to use a $CO_2$ detector. The microbolometer shows a detectivity of $2.5{\times}109$ cmHz$^{1/2}$/W at a chopper frequency of 8 Hz and a bias current of $6.25\;{\mu}A$ with a vacuum package of about $3.0{\times}10.3$ torr. Therefore, we put to conclusion that the microbolometer optimized in this experiment could be useful for the application of a $CO_2$ detector.

그래핀을 수직으로 성장한 형태인 탄소나노월(Carbon nanowall; CNW)은 탄소를 바탕으로 하는 다른 나노물질에 비해 표면적이 상당히 넓은 물질로 전극에 활용하여 소자 성능향상을 기대 할 수 있다. 또한 탄소를 기반으로 하는 나노 구조물중에서 가장 높은 표면밀도를 가진다. CNW를 차세대 염료감응형 태양전지(Dye sensitised solar cells; DSSC)의 상대전극으로 사용한다면 기존대비 광변환 효율을 향상시킬 수 있어 새로운 상대전극으로 활용 가능하다. 또한 CNW는 다른 촉매 없이 직접성장이 가능함으로 불순물 제거공정이 필요하지 않고, 공정시간이 짧아 대량생산에 용의하다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로웨이브 PECVD 장비를 사용하고 메탄(CH4)을 반응가스로 사용하여 CNW 하부전극을 제조하였다. CNW 하부전극의 광 변환효율을 관찰하기위해서 합성시간을 변화를 주었다. 제조된 DSSC의 광 변환 효율을 측정하기 위해 Solar simulator 장비를 사용하여 제작된 cells의 효율을 측정하였다.

A three-stage low noise amplifier(LNA) for the Base-station of the IMT-2000 is designed and implemented. In the first stage, a GaAs HJt-FET which has good noise characteristics is made use of. Monolithic microwave integrated circuits(MMICS) are used in the second and the third stage to achieve both the high gain and high output power. Although the balanced amplifier is used to reduce the input VSWR, it is done only in the first stage because we have to minimize the noise figure attributed to the phase difference of the balanced amplifier. It is shown that the implemented LNA has the gai over 39.74dB, the gain flatness less than ±0.4dB, the noise figure below 0.97dB, input and output VSWRs less than 1.2, and OIP₃(output third order intercept point) of 38.17dBm in the operating frequency range.

In this paper, the cyclic product codes which are capable of correcting random erros and burst errors simultaneously have been designed and constructed. First, the procedure for product of two cyclic codes is shown and thin the encoder and decoder system using the (7,4) cyclic Hamming code and the (3,1) cyclic code is implemented. The micro-computer is used for experiment and the system consists of encoder, decoder and interface circuits. The encoder of cyclic product code is implemented by interlacing encoders while the decoder is implemented by cascading decoders that interlace error trapping decoders. In conclusion, cyclic product codas are easily decodable and are capable of correcting four random errors and eight-burst errors. Better performance is obtained with low error rate.

Modem electronic circuits are of importance for the function of communication, traffic systems and security systems. An intentional threat to these systems could be of big casualties and economic disasters. This paper has shown damage effect of microcontroller device with coupling caused by UWB-HPEM(Ultra Wideband-High Power Electromagnetics). The UWB measurements were done at an Anechoic Chamber using a RADAN UWB voltage source, which can generate a transient impulse of about 180 kV. The susceptibility level for microcontroller has been assessed by effect of various operation line lengths. The results of susceptibility analysis has showed that the effect of the reset line length on the MT(Ma1function Threshold) is larger than the effect of the different line length(Data, Power, Clock). With the knowledge of these parameters electronic system can be designed exactly suitable concerning the system requirements. Based on the results, susceptibility of microcontroller can be applied to protection plan to elucidate the effects of microwaves on electronic equipment.
