The performance of devices has been improved with fine processes from planar to three-dimensional transistors (e.g., FinFET, NWFET, and MBCFET). There are some problems such as a short channel effect or a self-heating effect occur due to the reduction of the gate-channel length by miniaturization. To solve these problems, we compare and analyze the electrical and thermal characteristics of FinFET and GAAFET devices that are currently used and expected to be further developed in the future. In addition, the optimal structure according to the Fin shape was investigated. GAAFET is a suitable device for use in a smaller scale process than the currently used, because it shows superior electrical and thermal resistance characteristics compared to FinFET. Since there are pros and cons in process difficulty and device characteristics depending on the channel formation structure of GAAFET, we expect a mass-production of fine processes over 5 nm through structural optimization is feasible.

We investigated the relative growth and squamation of larvae and juveniles of cultured Larimichthys polyactis. Analysis of the relative growth of larvae and juveniles showed that their preanal length, head length, eye diameter, body depth, and snout length increased with growth. There was no significant chage in the relative growth. The ratio of preanus length to standard length (SL) increased rapidly until SL was approximately 12 mm, and then increased gradually. Cycloid scales first appeared on the lateral line, progressed to the abdominal cavity at 15.13 mm SL, and expanded to the occipital region, base of pectoral fin, and ventral region of the eye at 17.82 mm SL. At 18.03 mm SL, scales formed on the cheek, and those at the base of pectoral fin and in the abdominal cavity were connected to each other. At 19.06 mm SL, major part of the head was covered by scales, except near the lower jaw. Cycloid scales on the lateral line changed to ctenoid scales at the range of 31.71-32.24 mm SL, and those on the nape changed at the range of 69.02-70.84 mm SL. Our results may help to establish conservation and management strategy for Larimichthys polyactis aquaculture.

The pipefish Syngnathus schelegeli was reared in the laboratory from May to June 1991 and observed the morphology of eggs and larvae squeezed from the parent fish(male). The diameter of inseminated eggs ranged from 0.72 to 1.01 mm (n=50), and yolk in yellow color were found in the eggs. The newly beared larvae were 10.9 mm in average standard length and had 59~60 myomeres. In 6 days after bearing, the post larvae attained 13.8 mm in average standard length and the low jaw was developed. The larvae of 14.1 mm in average standard length (8 days after bearing) had 40~42 fin rays in dorsal fin, 9 in caudal fin and 13~14 in pectoral fin. The juvenile of 14.7 mm in average standard length (10 days after bearing) had the well elongated snout along with the opercular and caudal fin similar to adult stage's.

Parental fish of R. uyekii(Mori) were colleted from the Nakdong River, Korea. Artificial insemination was carried out 4 times during June using the same pair (a female 52.70 mm TL and a male 56.80 mm TL). Unfertilized eggs are nearly spindly, opaque yellow in colour, measuring about 3.20-3.50 mm in length, about 1.50-1.80 mm in breadth. Hatching began about 50 hours after insemination at water temperature of $16.5{\sim}18.5^{\circ}C$. The newly hatched larvae are 4.10-4.50 mm in total length(TL), with 29-30 myomeres. Nine days after hatching, the larvae averaged 8.40 mm in total length and caudal notochord flexed at $45^{\circ}$. Eighteen days after hatching, total length reached 8.90 mm. The part of the fin-fold of the future dorsal and anal fins became high. Twenty-eight days after hatching, total length was 9.35 mm. The caudal fin-rays began to fork into two branches. The increased number of melanophores appeared newly on the head dorsal and anal fin-rays. The larvae reached the juvenile stage at 50-60 days after hatching and attained 14.50-16.20 mm in total length, and all fin-rays was formed.

Two specimens of Polymetme elongata (Phosichthyidae; Polymetme) were collected by a bottom trawl from both the southern coastal waters of Jejudo Island in October 2016 (70.65 mm SL) and Yellow Sea, Korea in August 2022 (54.04 mm SL). They are an elongated body with large mouth, 11 dorsal fin rays, 10 pectoral fin rays, 7 pelvic fin rays, 30~32 anal fin rays, 1 adipose fin, 18 gill rakers, 44 vertebrae, 1 preorbital photophore, 1~2 ventrolateral rows of photophores on body, 1 paired photophores in symphysis of lower jaw, 9 branchiostegal rays, 2 rows of 8 phorophores between pelvic fin origin and anal fin origin, and 1 row of 23 photophores thereafter. At the origin of anal fin, the second photophore is more higher than third photophore and the first photophore is most lowest. Our specimens differ from the other species of the same genus by the ratio of the head length to the standard length (1/5) and the gill rakers (18), absolutely. As this species is the first record of the family Phosichthyidae, genus Polymetme, and P. elongata in Korean waters, we suggest their new Korean names, "Gin-ael-tung-i-gwa", "Gin-ael-tung-i-sog", and "Gin-ael-tung-i", respectively.

As a par of a project related to the development of the design algorithm of a compact heat exchanger for the application of the electronic home appliances, the effect of the discreteness of the airflow boundary generated on the cooling fin surface on the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of the heat exchanger was studied numerically. In general, there are two critical design parameters seriously considered in the design of the heat exchanger; heat transfer rate(Q) and pressure drop coefficient(C/sub p/). Even though the higher heat transfer rate with lower pressure drop characteristics is required in a design of the heat exchanger, it is not an easy job to satisfy both conditions at the same time because these two parameters are phenomenally inversely proportional. To control the boundary layer thickness and its length along the streamline, the surface of the flat fin was modified to accelerate the heat transfer rate on the fin surface. To understand the effect of the discreted fin size(S/sub w/) and its location(S/sub h/) on the performance of the heat exchanger in the airflow field, the flat fin was modified as shown in Fig. 1. From this study, it was found that the smaller and more number of slits on the fin surface showed the higher energy diffusion rate. It means that the discreteness of the boundary layer is quite important on the heat transfer rate of the heat exchanger. On the other hand, if the fin surface configuration is very complex than needed, higher static pressure drop occurs than required in a system and it may be a reason of the induced aerodynamic noise in the heat exchanger.

The aim of this study was to assess visible implant fluorescent elastomer (VIE) tagging in greenling Hexagrammos otakii. The experiental fish were anesthetized individually and marked with orange, yellow, red, and green elastomer at the following five body locations, respectively: the adipose eyelid, the surface of the dorsal fin base, the inside surface of the pectoral fin base, the inside surface of the pelvic fin base, and the surface of the anal fin base. Control fish were anesthetized but not marked. During the 20-month trial, fish growth and retention, underwater visibility, and readability of the tags were determined. After 20 months, body length of marked greenling ($43.2{\pm}3.5cm$, mean ${\pm}$ standard deviation [SD]) did not differ from that of the control ($41.4{\pm}3.7cm$). Additionally, the body weight of marked greenling ($527.4{\pm}39.8g$, mean ${\pm}$ SD) did not differ from that of the controls ($505.9{\pm}31.7g$). Greenling retained >90% of the tags at the surface of the dorsal fin base. The anal fin base showed a higher tag retention rate than the inside surfaces of the pectoral fin and the pelvic fin bases (P < 0.05). Red and orange tags were identified more easily underwater than green and yellow tags. Green and yellow tags emitted fluorescence in response to a narrower range of light wavelengths. Thus, the VIE mark was easy to apply to greenling (< 1 min per fish) and was readily visible when viewed under an ultraviolet lamp.

In this paper, it has been analyzed how transport characteristics is influenced on gate oxide properties in the subthreshold region as nano structure FinFET is fabricated. The analytical model is used to derive transport model, and Possion equation is used to obtain analytical model. The thermionic emission and tunneling current to have an influence on subthreshold current conduction are analyzed for nano-structure FinFET, and subthreshold swings of this paper are compared with those of two dimensional simulation to verify this model. As a result, transport model presented in this paper is good agreement with two dimensional simulation model, and this study shows that the transport characteristics have been changed by gate oxide properties. As gate length becomes smaller, funneling characteristics, one of the most important transport mechanism, have been analyzed.

The device performance of n-channel MuGFET with different fin width, existence of spacer and channel length has been characterized. Tri-Gate structure(fin number=10) has been used. There are four kinds of Tri-Gate with fin width=55nm with spacer, fin width=70nm with spacer, fin width=55nm without spacer, fin width=70nm without spacer. DIBL, subthreshold swing, Vt roll-off, (above Short Channel Effect)and hot carrier stress degradation have been measured. From the experiment results, short Channel Effect with spacer was decreased, hot carrier degradation with spacer and narrow fin width was decreased. Therefore, layout of LDD structure with spacer and narrow fin width is desirable in short channel effect and hot carrier degradation.

In this work, the temperature dependence of electrical parameters of nanoscale SOI (silicon-on-insulator) TG (triple gate) n-FinFET (n-channel Fin field effect transistor) was investigated. Numerical device simulator $ATLAS^{TM}$ was used to construct, examine, and simulate the structure in three dimensions with different models. The drain current, transconductance, threshold voltage, subthreshold swing, leakage current, drain induced barrier lowering, and on/off current ratio were studied in various biasing configurations. The temperature dependence of the main electrical parameters of a SOI TG n-FinFET was analyzed and discussed. Increased temperature led to degraded performance of some basic parameters such as subthreshold swing, transconductance, on-current, and leakage current. These results might be useful for further development of devises to strongly down-scale the manufacturing process.
