An improved extraction method considering ac current crowding effect is investigated to determine intrinsic ( $C_{\mu}$) and extrinsic ( $C_{\mu}$) base-collector capacitances of bipolar junction transistors separately. The drawbacks of conventional methods are pointed out, and the improved extraction equations are derived from a cutoff mode equivalent circuit with the ac crowding capacitance. The frequency response curves of modeled current and power gains using the extracted values of $C_{\mu}$ and $C_{\mu}$ have much better agreements with measured ones than those of the conventional methods, verifying the accuracy of the improved technique.

In this paper, high quality silicon nitride film is achieved using Plasma Enhanced Chemical Deposition(PECVD) system, and applied in passivating PHEMT's. Passivated PHEMT's(60 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$2 fingers) showed an increase of 2.7 % and 3 % in the drain saturation current and the maximum transconductance, respectively. The current gain cut-off frequency of 53 ㎓ and maximum oscillation frequency of 105 ㎓ were obtained from the fabricated PHEMT's.

Schottky Emitter (SE)는 미국 FEI의 L. W. Swanson 그룹이 개발하여 상용화시킨 전자원이며, 고분해능 전자현미경용 전자원 시장에서 가장 큰 점유율을 차지하고 있다. 상온에서 작동하는 cold field emitter (CFE)에 비해 휘도(brightness)가 10~100배 정도 낮으나, 10-10 Torr 영역의 초고진공에서도 수시간 미만의 방출전류 안정성을 가진 CFE에 비해 수개월이상 안정된 방출전류를 전자현미경에 제공하므로, 반도체 측정, 검사 등과 같이 고분해능과 안정성이 동시에 요구되는 분야에서는 SE전자원은 필수 요소가 되어있다. 현재 SE 전자원은 일본, 미국, 영국의 4개사가 과점하고 있는 상태이다. SE 전자원이 안정되게 작동하기 위해서는 10~10 Torr 영역의 초고진공 환경이 요구된다. 한국 전자현미경 업체는 국책과제 등을 통해 SE 전자총을 개발해 왔으나, 진공기술과 광학계 설계기술이 부족하여 안정된 SE 전자총의 개발에 성공하지 못하였다. 본 발표에서는 10~10 Torr 영역에서 200 microA 이상의 전류를 안정되게 방출하는 SE 전자총의 전자빔 방출 및 진공특성을 보고한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 구한 전차총의 전자원 위치 변화, 건렌즈 초점거리, 수차 등의 광학특성을 보여준다. 전자총을 전자현미경 경통에 탑재하고 제어하기 위해서는 전자총뿐만 아니라 전자현미경 전체의 광학특성을 이해할 필요가 있다. 전자총을 현미경에 통합 제어하기 위한 기술과제에 대해서도 간략히 보고한다.

We implemented a 10 Gb/s 4-channel vertical cavity surface emission lasers (VCSEL) driver array in a $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS process technology. To enhance high current resolution, power dissipation, and chip space area, digital APC/AMC with time division sensing technology is primarily adopted. The measured -3 dB frequency bandwidth is 9.2 GHz; the small signal gain is 10.5 dB; the current resolution is 0.01 mA/step, suitable for the wavelength operation up to 10 Gb/s over a wide temperature range. The proposed APC and AMC demonstrate 5 to 20 mA of bias current control and 5 to 20 mA of modulation current control. The whole chip consumes 371 mW of low power under the maximum modulation and bias currents. The active chip size is $3.71{\times}1.3mm^2$.

In this paper, an output-capacitorless, low-dropout (LDO) regulator is designed, which consumes $4.5{\mu}A$ quiescent current. Proposed LDO regulator is realized using two amplifier for good load regulation and fast response time, which provide high gain, high bandwidth, and high slew rate. In addition, a one-shot current boosting circuit is added for current control to charge and discharge the parasitic capacitance at the pass transistor gate. As a result, response time is improved during load-current transition. The designed circuit is implemented through a $0.11-{\mu}m$ CMOS process. We experimentally verify output voltage fluctuation of 260mV and recovery time of $0.8{\mu}s$ at maximum load current 200mA.

As a result the pole of system is improved, extreme point of the wave and system improves, and size of peak value and phase margin of break frequency in resonance frequency confirmed that is good. Therefore, presented control technique could confirm that reduce influence by perturbation and improves stationary state and dynamic characteristics in output of Step-down Chopper.

This paper propose the method that measure the main system parameters for current control of a.c. motor adopting the vector control technique. The automatical method that tuning PI control gains for current control of servo motors are used frequently through the information of main system parameters, wire resistance and inductance. In this study, the techniques to measure these two system parameters through the control of 3-phase inverter are presented. These control and measuring method are implemented by measuring output phase current obtained as a results of the step current control using simple proportional feedback input. Moreover, this method use freewheeling current of inverter at special switching mode for measuring inductance. This analytic strategy is could measure and calculate the system parameters without the complex measurement algorithm and new additional measuring circuits. That is could measure the total resistance and total inductance including wiring resistance and conduction resistance of switching devices using real driving circuits to control the motors.

A novel instrumentation amplifier (IA) using fully-differential linear operational transconductance amplifier (FLOTA) for electronic measurement systems with low cost, wideband, and gain control with wide range is designed. The IA consists of a FLOTA, two resistor, and an operational amplifier(op-amp). The principal of the operating is that the difference of two input voltages applied into FLOTA converts into two same difference currents, and then these current drive resistor of (+) terminal and feedback resistor of op-amp to obtain output voltage. To verify operating principal of the IA, we designed the FLOTA and realized the IA used commercial op-amp LF356. Simulation results show that the FLOTA has linearity error of 0.1% and offset current of 2.1uA at input dynamic range ${\pm}3.0V$. The IA had wide gain range from -20dB to 60dB by variation of only one resistor and -3dB frequency for the 60dB was 10MHz. The proposed IA also has merits without matching of external resistor and controllable offset voltage using the other resistor. The power dissipation of the IA is 105mW at supply voltage of ${\pm}5V$.

In this paper, we developed the MMIC low noise amplifier using 100 nm metamorphic HEMTs technology in combination with coplanar circuit topology for 94 GHz applications. The $100nm\times60{\mu}m$ MHEMT devices for the MMIC LNA exhibited DC characteristics with a drain current density of 655 mA/mm, an extrinsic transconductance of 720 mS/mm. The current gain cutoff frequency $(f_T)$ and maximum oscillation frequency $(f_{max})$ were 195 GHz and 305 GHz, respectively. The realized MMIC LNA represented $S_{21}$ gain of 14.8 dB and noise figure of 4.6 dB at 94 GHz with an over-all chip size of $1.8mm\times1.48mm$.
