In this paper, we proposed a SPICE model of high-voltage insulated gate bipolar transistor(IGBT). The proposed model consists of two sub-devices, a MOSFET and a BJT. Basic I-V characteristics and their temperature dependency were realized by adjusting various parameters of the MOSFET and the BJT. To model nonlinear parasitic capacitances such as a reverse-transfer capacitance, multiple junction diodes, ideal voltage and current amplifiers, a voltage-controlled resistor, and passive devices were added in the model. The accuracy of the proposed model was verified by comparing the simulation results with the experimental results of a 1200V trench gate IGBT.

Doherty amplifier has more efficiency and distortion than general amplifier. These distortion classified amplitude distortion and phase distortion, memory effect distortion. This paper reports on an attempt to investigate, model and quantity the contribution of the electrical nonlinearity effects and the thermal memory effects to a doherty amplifier's distortion generation and suggests thermal memory effect compensator for pre-distorter. Also this paper reports on the development of an accurate dynamic expression of the instantaneous junction temperature as a function of the instantaneous dissipated power. The parameters of suggested model suppress thermal memory effects doherty amplifier with pre-distorter. Pre-distorter with electrothermal memory effect compensator for doherty amplifier enhanced ACLR performance about 22 dB than general doherty amplifier. Experiment results were mesured by 50W LDMOS Doherty amplifier and pre-distorter with electrothermal memory effect compensator was simulated by ADS.

In this paper, prcess modeling of germanium condensation has been performed and a germanium PMOSFET having nanowire channel implented by the condensation process has been designed and characterized by device simulations. Based on the previous experimental results, our modeling results demonstrate that the ratio of germanium concentration at the silicon germanium-silicon dioxide interface ($C_S$) to that in the bulk region ($C_B$) which are obtainable during the germanium condensation is approximately 4.03 and the effective diffusion coefficient ($D_{eff}$) of germanium atom is $3.16nm^2/s$. Furthermore, a germanium nanowire-channel PMOSFET having the ultra-thin germanium channel on the silicon core that can be fabricated by the germanium condensation has been designed and characterized. As the result, it is confirmed that the proposed device having the coaxial nanowire consisting of silicon core and germanium channel might have superior performances over the device with either all-silicon or all-germanium channel.

In recent years, the bagging cultivation of summer squash (Cucurbita moschata) is applied for surface protection during harvest and extension of storage period. In this study, the effect of plastic bagging cultivation of summer squash on improvement of quality and extension of storage period was investigated. The yield and the length of fruit didn't have no difference between bagging and control treatment but the bagging treatment significantly made more regular size and light weight of fruits, and increased the number of fruits because of the limitation of their growth. The bagging treatment decreased weight loss and fruit softening during the their storage. Therefore it showed effective means for quality improvement and storage extension of summer squash.

We propose and analyze novel optical thyristor which can be used in free-space optical interconnection(FSOI). Novel optical thyristors are fully depleted optical thyristors(DOTs) using bottom mirror and/or multiple quantum wells (MQW), thereby its switching characteristics can be improved significantly. We obtain switching characteristics using coupled junction model associated with current oriented method. Emission characteristics of the DOT are obtained using thin film characteristic matrix and van Roosbroeck-Shockley relation. Compared to the performance using conventional DOT, the optical switching energy is decreased by a factor of 0.43 and the bit-rate is increased by a factor of 1.61 when the DOT with MQW and bottom mirror is employed for FSOI.

A dynamically-interfaced multi-grid finite difference model for simulation of tsunamis in the East Sea(Choi et al.) was established and further applied to produce detailed feature of coastal inundations along the whole eastern coast of Korea. The computational domain is composed of several sub-regions with different grid sizes connected in parallel of inclined directions with 16 innermost nested models. The innermost sub-region represents the coastal alignment reasonably well and has a grid size of about 30 meters. Numerical simulations have been performed in the framework of shallow-water equations(linear, as well as nonlinear) over the plane or spherical coordinate system, depending on the dimensions of the sub-region. Results of simulations show the general agreements with the observed data of run-up height for both tsunamis. The evolution of the distribution function of tsunami heights is studied numerically and it is shown that it tends to the log-normal curve for long distance from the source.

One thousand and seven hundreds and six soybean land reces and 103 wild soybeans of Korea, and 167 cultivars and 71 wild soybeans of exotic were analyzed using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to study the distribution of trypsin inhibitor phenotypes. The four ti/ti lines were observed only in Korean native land races. The Ti$\^$*/a allele of cultivar was found to be the highest in Chinese soybean (0,9888) than in Korean soybean(0.8347) and Japanese soybean (0.5954). The heterozygosity of typsin inhibitor in Korean lines occured in relatively high ratio, The percentages of heterozygosity of the Korean land race and wild soybean are 3.6% (N=61) and 9.7%(N=10), respectively.

A concentrically braced steel frame is a very efficient structural system because it requires relatively smaller amount of materials to resist lateral forces. However, primarily developed as a structural system to resist wind loads based on an assumption that the structure behaves elastically, a concentrically braced frame possibly experiences the deterioration in energy dissipation after brace buckling and the brittle failure of braces and connections when earthquake loads cause inelastic behavior. Consequently, plastic deformation is concentrated in the floor where brace buckling occurs first, which can lead to the rupture of the structure. This study suggests reinforcing H-shaped braces with non-welded cold-formed stiffeners to restrain flexure and buckling and resist tensile force and compressive force equally.

The current paper presents a new Mo-MPS rectifier using molybdenum as barrier metal to improve on the low forward voltage drop and power dissipation of the coventional Al-MPS and Pt-MPS rectifier. Electrical characteristics of the fabricated Mo-MPS rectifier are imvestigated compared with Al-MPS and Pt-MPS rectifier. At the same current level, the forward voltage drop of the Mo-MPS was reduced by 0.11V~0.24V compared to that of the conventional MPS rectifier. Accordingly, since the Power dissipation of a rectifier mostly depends on the forward current density and forward voltage drop, the Mo-MPS rectifier achieved improved power dissipation when compared to the conventional MPS rectifier. The reverse breakdown voltage of a Mo-MPS rectifier with 68% Schottky junction area was about 304y. Despite having a lower forward voltage drop than a conventional MPS rectifier, the Mo-MPS rectifier still exhibited a higher reverse breakdown voltage.

The Taechong Dam completed in 1980 is a composite dam at which a junction was formed partly by butting the core against the end face of the concrete gravity section and partly by the core overlapping the upstream face of the concrete. In order to evaluate the performance of the junction, the interfaces between the concrete dam and core of the embankment dam were well instrumented with total pressure cells and piezometers. A nonlinear incremental finite element analysis simulating its construction behaviour was carried out under plane strain conditions. Material parameters for the core are determined from triaxial tests on the specimens, sampled in the quarry site and compacted to the field dry density at the field moisture content. Material parameters for the filter, transition materials and the rockfill are estimated from literature. When compared with the earth pressures measured at the interfaces, the analytical results show good agreement in the core, however, there are some discrepancy in the shell. A nonlinear model for pore pressure response is used successfully to predict the pore pressures at the interface in the core.
