The triple-gate tunnel FETs encapsulated with an epitaxial layer (EL TFETs) is proposed to lower the subthreshold swing of the TFETs. Furthermore, the band-to-band tunneling based on the maximum electric-field can occur thanks to the epitaxial layer wrapping the Si fin. The performance and mechanism of the EL TFETs are compared with the previously proposed TFET based on simulation.

A gate-recessed structure is introduced to SOI MOSFET's in order to increase the source-to-drain breakdown voltage. A significant increase in the breakdown voltage is observed compared with that of a planar single source/drain SOI MOSFET without inducing the appreciable reduction of the current drivability. We have analyzed the origin of the breakdown voltage improvement by the substrate current measurements and 2-D device simulations, and shown that the breakdown voltage improvement is caused by the reductions in the impact ionization rate and the parasitic bipolar current gain.

Performance requirements for automatic transmission fluids have been changed reflecting the design changes of automatic transmissions. The major purpose of these design changes is concentrated upon improvements of both fuel economy and drivability. In order to formulate such high performance ATFs as satisfy those requirements, it is necessary to use high quality base oils like VHVI base oils and PAOs. In this study, the effect of base oils characteristics on ATF performance is investigated, mainly regarding differences in frictional characteristics with deterioration. Frictional characteristics are determined using the SAE No. 2 machine and ATFs are deteriorated under various controlled conditions. Moreover low-temperature fluidity, oxidation stability, and seal compatibility are also compared for four different ATFs. From the investigation, it was found that the use of Group III and IV base oils in ATFs gives several benefits with respect to low temperature viscosity, oxidation stability and SAE No.2 friction characteristics.

일반적으로 SOI 소자에 대한 연구는 film 두께. 채널길이 그리고 doping 농도에 따라 폭넓게 연구되어 왔다. 제안한 소스/드레인 비대칭 SOI 소자는 일반적인 LDD SOI 소자와 비교하여 항복전압은 거의 비슷한 반면. 전류 구동능력은 훨씬향상된 소자를 구현 시킬수 있었다. 비대칭 SOI 소자를 설계하기 위하여 최적화된 공정조건을 모의 실험용 TCAD Simulator (SILVACO)를 이용하여 검증하였다. 검증된 공정 변수를 이용하여 모의 실험을 해보았더니 항복전압과 전류 구동능력에서 좋은 특성을 나타내었다.

In the case of a low density branch line, these areas are operating at a loss. So much money is used for infrastructure maintenance cost. To solve the problem, our institute have a project to develop the Information & Communication Technology based train operation system. In a similar research in the Europe, The UK's Transport Research Laboratory experienced analysis of operational issue for developing ERTMS from Level II to Level III. In this paper, we study about railway operational issues before development of ICT based train operation system. An analysis target of operational issues are railway business process & data, drivability and moving or virtual block system.

A cyclic variability has long been recognized as limiting the range of operating conditions of spark ignition engines, in particular, under idling conditions. The coefficient of variation (COV) in indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) defines the cyclic variability in indicated work per cycle, and it has been found that vehicle drivability problems usually result. For analysis of the cyclic variations in spark ignition engines at idling, the results show that cyclic variability by the COV, COV of IMEP, the lowest normalized value (LNV), and burn angles can help to design the spark ignition engine.

In this paper, cable drive mechanism is proposed to implement high reduction gear ratio. Cable drive mechanism has great advantages such as light weight, high degree of freedom about design aspect and zero backlashes. However, it is restrictively utilized for robotic applications because it is difficult to implement high reduction gear ratio more than 10 to 1. Proposed mechanism enables multi-level reductions by adopting seamless winding method (SWM) which links the previous output axis and the next input axis. Consequently, this reduces the mechanical complexity significantly and enables high reduction with only one single wire cable. 3D CAD design was provided and prototype was manufactured.

The dynamics of the vehicle system has highly nonlinear components such as an engine, a torque converter and variable road condition. This thesis proposes a Fuzzy Logic Algorithm that shows better control performance than Antiwindup PI in the highly nonlinear vehicle system. Traction Control System(TCS), which adjusts throttle valve opening by Fuzzy Logic Algorithm improves vehicle drivability, steerability and stability when vehicle is starting and cornering. When a throttle valve is opened at large degree, Fuzzy Logic Algorithm shows better performances like a small settling time and a small oscillation than Antiwindup PI in simulation. The decreased desired slip ratio improves steerability in the simulation when a vehicle is cornering. The Fuzzy Logic Algorithm has been tested by a 1/5-scale vehicle for tracking the constant desired velocity.

Low power circuit techniques have been developed to realize the highest possible performance of embedded SRAM at 1V power supply with$0.5\mu\textrm{m}$ single threshold CMOS technology in which the unbalance between NMOS and PMOS threshold voltages is utilized to optimize the low power CMOS IC design. To achieve the best trade-off between the transistor drivability and the subthreshold current increase, the ground potential of memory array is raised to suppressthe subthreshold current. The problems of lower cellstability and bit-line dealy increase due to the enhanced array ground potential are evaluated to be controlled within the allowable range by careful circuit design. 160MHz, 128kb embedded SRAM with 3.4ns access time is demonstrated with the power consumption of 14.8mW in active $21.4{mu}W$ in standby mode at 1V power supply.

We fabricated 0.3um gate length inverse-T gate MOS(ITMOS) and conventional lightly doped drain oxide spacer MOS(LDDMOS), and studied electrical characteristics for comparison. Threshold voltage of 0.3um gate length device was 0.58 V for ITMOS and 0.6V for LDDMOS. Measured subthreshold characteristics showed a slope of 85mV/decades for both ITLDD and LDDMOS. Maximum transconductance at V S1ds T=V S1gs T=3.3V was 180mS/mm for ITMOS and 163mS/mm for LDDMOS respectively. GIDL current was observed to be 0.1pA/um for ITOMS and 0.8pA/um for LDDMOS. Substrate current of ITMOS as a function of drain current was found to be reduced by a foactor of 2.5 compared with that of LDDMOS.
