Reported herein is the architecture for a nonvolatile n-type memory paper field-effect transistor. The device was built via the hybrid integration of natural cellulose fibers (pine and eucalyptus fibers embedded in resin with ionic additives), which act simultaneously as substrate and gate dielectric, using passive and active semiconductors, respectively, as well as amorphous indium zinc and gallium indium zinc oxides for the gate electrode and channel layer, respectively. This was complemented by the use of continuous patterned metal layers as source/drain electrodes.

A gain enhancement rail-to-rail buffer amplifier for liquid crystal display (LCD) source driver is proposed. An op-amp with extremely high gain is needed to decrease the offset voltage of the buffer amplifier. Cascoded floating current source and class-AB control block in the op-amp achieve a high voltage gain by reducing the channel length modulation effect in high voltage technologies. HSPICE simulation in $1\;{\mu}V$ 15 V CMOS process demonstrates that voltage gain is increased by 30 dB. The offset voltage is improved from 6.84 mV to $400\;{\mu}V$. Proposed op-amp is fabricated in an LCD source driver IC and overall system offset voltage is decreased by 2 mV.

Recently, porous ceramic materials with anti-static performance are urgently needed for semiconductor and OLED/LCD display manufacturing industry. In this work, we fabricated porous titanium manganese oxide ceramics having the surface resistivity of $10^8-10^{10}$ ohm and enhanced mechanical strength by partial sintering method using nanosized titanium oxide. By addition of nano-sized titanium oxide in the matrix, neck formation between grains was strengthened, which remarkably increased flexural strength up to 170 MPa (@porosity: 15 %), 110 MPa (@porosity: 31 %), compared to 80 MPa (@porosity: 26 %) for pristine titanium manganese oxide ceramics. We evaluated the performances of our ceramics as air-floating module for OLED flexible display manufacturing devices.

This paper is about IoT(Internet of Things)-based smart trash can. In modern society, waste disposal creates several social problems. In particular, large floating populations cause a problem in the city center on weekends as the waste disposal capacity cannot keep up with the amount of waste discharged. There are problems such as stinks, unpleasant aesthetics, and insects caused by overflowing garbage. To solve this problem, a smart trash can was proposed. The proposed smart trash can provide a garbage compression function, an automatic opening and closing of the trash can lid, a display of the amount of garbage, and monitoring and control of the trash can. It is expected that the proposed 'smart trash can' can be usefully used for outdoor waste disposal with a large floating population.

In this study, we propose a low voltage stress and cost-effective light emitting diode (LED) driver capable of multi-channel current balancing. Conventional LED drivers require as many boost converters as the number of LED channels, whereas the proposed LED driver requires only one buck converter and several balancing capacitors instead of several expensive boost converters. Additionally, while the components of the boost converter have high voltage stress and depend on the LED driving voltage, components of the proposed driver have about one-half of the voltage stress across all components. The proposed driver exhibits high reliability and cost effectiveness because it only uses few DC blocking capacitors with no additional active devices to balance the current of multi-channel LEDs. The proposed driver exhibits high reliability and cost effectiveness. The validity of the proposed driver is confirmed through a theoretical analysis. An explanation of the design considerations and experimental results were obtained using a prototype applicable to a 46" LED-TV.

Extended unbalanced magnetron sputtering system based on the cylindrical magnetron with a rotating cathode was developed. The unbalanced configuration of magnetic field was realized by means of additional lines of permanent magnets, placed along both sides of a 89 mm outer diameter and 600 mm long cylindrical cathode. The performance of the unbalanced magnetron was assessed in terms of the ion current density and the ion-to-atom ratio incident at the substrate. Furthermore, the paper presents the comparison of the internal plasma parameters, such as the electron temperature, electron density, plasma and floating potentials, measured by a Langmuir probe in various positions from the cathode, for conventional and unbalanced constructions of the cylindrical magnetron. The plasma density and ion current density are about 3-5 times higher than those of conventional one, in the unbalanced magnetron in a 0.24 Pa Ar atmosphere with a DC cathode power of 3 kW.

The purpose of this study is to reprocess Waste-LCD(Liquid Crystal Display), to widely increase specific surface-area by foaming agent in the process of reprocessing and to use as a substrate of water treatment which is increased the ability of biological treatment, as well as to control non-point source pollutants produced by surface run off during rainfall with using this substrate, and to improve water quality of public watershed as developing substrate for water treatment to be able to purify second treated water which is exhausted at the wastewater treatment plant. The average removal efficiency of Waste-LCD that using the foaming technology was SS 71.2%, BOD 55.7%, COD 58.4%, T-N 29.5% and T-P was 50.3%. Almost Media, early stage showed low removal efficiency of SS and BOD. However, it became high when the microorganism adhered the Media. The variation of SS removal efficiency was high by inflow concentration of SS. The reason for the Media 4 showed high SS removal efficiency is that it has wide specific surface-area, and also it has a pore. All in all, it shows floating matter treatment ability not only inside but it also works outside of the substrate.

본 논문에서 제안한 ac-PDP(Plasma display panel) 셀구조는 Long gap의 전극 사이에 보조 전극을 삽입한 구조이다. 일반적으로, long gap 구조를 가진 PDP cell은 높은 방전 개시 전압을 가지므로, Long gap 전극 사이에 보조전극을 삽입하여 방전 개시 전압을 낮춤과 동시에 휘도 상승, 소비 전력의 감소효과로 발광효율의 향상을 가져왔다. 제안한 구조의 구동을 위하여 asymmetric mode와 long gap mode라는 2가지 파형을 가지고 실험하였다. 두 파형은 공통적으로 기존의 ADS(Address and Display period Separated)파형을 Y(Scan), Z(Common), A(Address) 전극에 인가하였으며, 보조적극에는 Z(Common) 전극의 파형을 수정한 형태로 인가하였다. Asymmetric mode는 보조전극에 Z(Common) 전극에 인가되는 파형과 같은 형태의 파형을 인가하여 Long gap의 구조를 가지지만 Short gap에서 방전이 가능하도록 설계하였고, long gap mode는 보조전극에 인가되는 Z(Common) 파형 중 sustain pulse를 초기 3개만을 주어 Short gap에서 방전을 개시함과 동시에 priming 입자를 생성하고, 나머지 sustain 구간에서는 floating시켜 이미 생성된 priming 입자를 long gap에서 구동을 가능하도록 하였다.

A 7 nm technology node using extreme ultraviolet lithography with a wavelength of 13.5 nm has been recently developed and applied to the semiconductor manufacturing process. Furthermore, the development of sub-3 nm technology nodes continues to be required. In this study, design factors of an electrostatic deflector for an ultra-miniaturized microcolumn system that can realize an electron wavelength of below 1.23 nm with an acceleration voltage of above 1 eV were investigated using a three-dimensional simulator. Particularly, the optimal design of the electrostatic octupole floating deflector was derived by optimizing the design elements and improving the driving method of the 1 keV low energy ultra-miniaturized microcolumn deflector. As a result, the entire wide field of view greater than 330 ㎛ at a working distance of 4 mm was realized with an ultra-high-resolution electron beam spot smaller than 10 nm. The results of this study are expected to be a basis technology for realizing a wafer-scale multi-array microcolumn system, which is expected to innovatively improve the throughput per unit time, which is the biggest drawback of electron beam lithography.
