Self-assembled InAlAs/AlGaAs quantum dots (QDs) on GaAs substrates were grown by using modified molecular epitaxy beam in Stranski-Krastanov method. In order to study the structural and optical properties of InAlAs/AlGaAs QDs, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements are conducted. The size and uniformity of QDs have been observed from the AFM images. The average widths and heights of QDs are increased as the deposition time increases. The PL spectra of QDs are composed of two peaks. The PL spectra of QDs were analyzed by the excitation laser power- and temperature-dependent PL, in which two PL peaks are attributed to two predominant sizes of QDs.

The permittivity distribution of a two-dimensional high-contrast object with large size, which leads to the global minimum of cost function, is reconstructed by iteratively using the hybrid algorithm of Levenberg-magquardt algorithm(LMA) plus Genetic Algorithm(GA). The scattered fields calculated in a cost function are expanded in angular spectral modes, of which only effective propagating modes are used. The definition of cost function based on the effective propagating modes enables us to formulate the minimum number of incident waves for the reconstruction of object. It is numerically shown that LMA has an advantage of fast convergence but can't reconstruct a high-contrast object with large size and GA can reconstruct a high-contrast object with large size but has an disadvantage of slow convergence, whereas an inverse scattering technique using the hybrid algorithm adopts only advantages of LMA and GA.

We investigate the effects of interfacial dielectric layers (IDLs) on the electrical properties of top-gate In-Ga-Zn-oxide (IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) fabricated at low temperatures below $200^{\circ}C$, using a target composition of In:Ga:Zn = 2:1:2 (atomic ratio). Using four types of TFT structures combined with such dielectric materials as $Si_3N_4$ and $Al_2O_3$, the electrical properties are analyzed. After post-annealing at $200^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in an $O_2$ ambient, the sub-threshold swing is improved in all TFT types, which indicates a reduction of the interfacial trap sites. During negative-bias stress tests on TFTs with a $Si_3N_4$ IDL, the degradation sources are closely related to unstable bond states, such as Si-based broken bonds and hydrogen-based bonds. From constant-current stress tests of $I_d$ = 3 ${\mu}A$, an IGZO-TFT with heat-treated $Si_3N_4$ IDL shows a good stability performance, which is attributed to the compensation effect of the original charge-injection and electron-trapping behavior.

This paper demonstrates the utility of the Ni-Pd and carbon-nanotube (Ni-Pd-CNT)-based nanoalloy to improve the α-Ga₂O₃ crystal quality using the halide-vapor-phase epitaxy (HVPE) method. As result, the overall thickness of the α-Ga₂O₃ epitaxial layer increased from a Ni electroless plating time of 40 s to 11 ㎛ after growth. In addition, the surface morphologies of the α-Ga₂O₃ epilayers remained flat and crack-free. The full-width half-maximum results of the X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the ($10{\bar{1}}4$) diffraction patterns decreased with increasing nominal thickness.

The fundamental transverse mode lasing of a hybrid laser diode is a prerequisite for efficient coupling to a single-mode silicon waveguide, which is necessary for a wavelength-division multiplexing silicon interconnection. We investigate the lasing mode profile for a hybrid laser diode consisting of silicon slab and InP/InGaAsP deep ridge waveguides. When the thickness of the top silicon is 220 nm, the fundamental transverse mode is lasing in spite of the wide waveguide width of $3.7{\mu}m$. The threshold current is 40 mA, and the maximum output power is 5 mW under CW current operation. In the case of a thick top silicon layer (1 ${\mu}m$), the higher modes are lasing. There is no significant difference in the thermal resistance of the two devices.

The fuzzy control, neural network and genetic algorithm(GA) are algorithms to make the intelligence of system more higher. In this paper, we optimized the fuzzy controller using a genetic algorithm for desire response. Also a compensated fuzzy controller has dual rules. One control rule used to decrease the overshoot and rise time occurring in transient response region and another fuzzy control rule use to decrease the steady state error and rapildy to converge at the convergence region. GA is necessary to optimal the exchange time of the two fuzzy control rule base. Fuzzy-GA controller have a process of reproduction, crossover and mutation and we experimented by hydraulic servo motor control system We could observe that compensated Fuzzy-GA controller have good control performance compare to the fuzzy control technique have two rule base table.

In this paper, the SPICE 2.G6 JFET subroutine and other related subroutines are modified for circuit simulation of GaAs MESFET IC's. The hyperbolic tangent model is used for the drain current-voltage characteristics of GaAs MESFET's and derived channel-conductance and drain-conductance model from the above current model are implemented into small-signal model of GaAs MESFET's. And, device capacitance model which consider after-pinch-off state are modified, and device charge model for SPICE 2G.6 are proposed. The result of modification is shown to be suitable for GaAs circuit simulator, showing good agreement with experimetal results. Forthermore the DC convergence of this paper is better than that of SPICE 2.G JFET subroutine. GaAs MESFET model in this paper is applied for both depletion mode GaAs MESFET and enhancement-mode GaAs MESFET without difficulty.

In this paper, we represent a nonlinear identification of electronic brake pedal behavior in the brake-by-wire (BBW) system based on hybrid group method of data handling (GMDH) and genetic algorithm (GA). A GMDH is a kind of multi-layer network with a structure that is determined through training and which can express nonlinear dynamics as a mathematical model. The GA is used in the GMDH, enabling each neuron to search for its optimal set of connections with the preceding layer. The results obtained with this hybrid approach were compared with different nonlinear system identification methods. The experimental results showed that the hybrid approach performs better than the other methods in terms of root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficients. The hybrid GMDH/GA approach was effective for modeling and predicting the brake pedal system under random braking conditions.

Drop casting, a solution process, is a simple low-cost fabrication technique that does not waste material. In this study, we elucidate the effect of the concentration of a InGaZnO solution on the electrical properties of drop-cast oxide thin-film transistors. The higher the concentration the larger the amount of remnant InGaZnO solutes, which yields a thicker thin film. Accordingly, the electrical properties were strongly dependent on the concentration. At a high concentration of 0.3 M (or higher), a large current flowed but did not lead to switching characteristics. At a concentration lower than 0.01 M, switching characteristics were observed, but the mobility was small. In addition to a high mobility, sufficient switching characteristics were obtained at a concentration of 0.1 M owing to the appropriate thickness of the semiconductor layer. This study provides a technical basis for the low-cost fabrication of switching devices capable of driving a sensor array.

InP/InGaP quantum structures (QSs) grown on GaAs substrates by a migration-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy method were studied as a function of growth temperature (T) using photoluminescence (PL) and emission-wavelength-dependent time-resolved PL (TRPL). The growth T were varied from $440^{\circ}C$ to $520^{\circ}C$ for the formation of InP/InGaP QSs. As growth T increases from $440^{\circ}C$ to $520^{\circ}C$, the PL peak position is blue-shifted, the PL intensity increases except for the sample grown at $520^{\circ}C$, and the PL decay becomes fast at 10 K. Emission-wavelength-dependent TRPL results of all QS samples show that the decay times at 10 K are slightly changed, exhibiting the longest time around at the PL peak, while at high T, the decay times increase rapidly with increasing wavelength, indicating carrier relaxation from smaller QSs to larger QSs via wetting layer/barrier. InP/InGaP QS sample grown at $460^{\circ}C$ shows the strongest PL intensity at 300 K and the longest decay time at 10 K, signifying the optimum growth T of $460^{\circ}C$.
