Ultra-small size, high-performance, solenoid-type RF chip inductors utilizing low-loss A1$_2$O$_3$ core materials were investigated. The dimensions of the RF chip inductors fabricated were 1.0mm${\times}$0.5mm${\times}$0.5mm and copper coils were used. The materials (96％ A1$_2$O$_3$) and shape (I-type) of the core, the diameters (40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and position (middle) of the coil, and the lengths (0.35mm) of solenoid were determined by a high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) to maximize the performance of the inductors. The high-frequency characteristics of the inductance (L) and quality-factor (Q) of the developed inductors were measured using a RF impedance/material analyzer (E4991A with E16197A test fixture). The developed inductors exhibit an inductance of 11 to 11.3nH and a qualify factor of 22.3 to 65.7 over the frequency ranges of 250 MHz to 1.7 GHz, and show results comparable to those measured for the inductors prepared by Coilcraft$^{TM}$. The simulated data described the high-frequency data of the L and Q of the fabricated inductors well.

This paper is about modeling on 1500V DC electric railroad system. Electric railroad systems have peculiar characteristics against other electric system. The characteristics arc that the railroad systems have electric vehicle loads which are power-varying and location-varying with time. Because of this load characteristic, the electric railroad system modeling which reflects its own characteristics on EMTDC simulation could not be achieved. However, to reflect load characteristic on EMTDC, this paper suggests electric railroad system modeling by using TPS (Train Performance Simulator) that was developed in Korea Railroad Research Institute. A TPS program has various kinds of input data, such as operation condition, vehicle condition, and power system condition. By these data, TPS calculates mechanical power consumption and location, especially it decide electric power consumption on the basis of the fact that consumed electric and mechanical power are equal. Moreover, on this paper, movement of vehicle is reflected on EMTDC simulation as variation of feeder impedance. Also, an electric vehicle load is modeled as time-varying constant power load model.

In this study, microscale, high-performance, solenoid-type RF chip inductors were investigated. The size of the RF chip inductors fabricated in this work was 1.0${\times}$0.5${\times}$0.5㎣. 96% $Al_2$ $O_3$and I-type were used as the material and shape of the core, respectively. The copper (Cu) wire with 6 turns was employed as the coils. The diameter (40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and position (middle) of the coil and the length (0.35mm) of solenoid were determined by a high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) to maximize the performance of the inductors. High frequency characteristics of the inductance (L) and quality-factor (Q) of developed inductors were measured using an RF Impedance/Material Analyzer (HP4291B with HP16193A test fixture). The inductors developed have inductances of 10.8nH and quality factors of 25.2 to 50 over the frequency ranges of 250MHz to l GHz, and show results comparable to those measured for the inductors prepared by CoilCraf $t^{Tm}$ . The simulated data predicted the high-frequency data of the L and Q of the inductors developed well.l.

본 논문에서는 테스트가 용이하도록 ECC(error checking circuit)를 내장하여 테스트를 수행할 수 있는 CAM(content addressable memory)를 설계하였다. 즉, CAM에서 발생하는 읽기, 쓰기 및 매치 동작의 기능 고장을 검사할 수 있는 회로를 내장한 CAM을 설계하였다. 일반적으로 테스트 회로를 내장하면 전체면적의 증가를 가져오게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 병렬 비교기를 사용한 내장(built-in) 테스트 회로의 면적 오버헤드를 줄이기 위해서 새로 제안된 MTA 코드를 이용하였다. 설계한 회로는 VHDL 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였으며, 0.B㎛ double-metal CMOS 공정을 이용하여 레이아웃을 수행하였다. ECC 회로의 경우 CAM의 기본 셀에서 매치기능을 담당하고 있는 XOR회로를 이용함으로써 약 30%정도 면적 감소를 가져왔다.

In this study, we developed intelligent spacer built in the internal type UHF PD sensors. 3-Dimensional electro-magnetic simulations were performed to analyze electric-field distribution of the single-phase GIS and three-phase GIS. After considering the spacer's specification, Sensor structures were designed and analyzed using the 3-D EM Simulator. As a result of the simulation the internal type UHF PD sensors were built in. Performance of the sensor built into real scale GIS spacer was measured in terms of return loss and detected Max voltage. And we identified a character of the intelligent spacer by using 5pC partial discharge cell.

DSSC (Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell)의 TCO (Transparent Conductive Oxide)와 전해질 사이의 전자 재결합(Back reaction)은 DSSC의 효율을 떨어뜨리는 요소 중 하나이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 Blocking layer로서 $TiO_2$ 가 많이 사용되어지고 있다. 본 실험에서는 $HfO_2$ 를 Blocking layer로 사용하여 전자 재결합으로 인한 효율 저하를 막기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 기존 $TiO_2$ 대비 $HfO_2$는 큰 에너지 밴드갭을 가지고 있어, TCO와 전해질 사이에 전자 재결합을 줄여주는 역할을 하기 때문에 DSSC의 효율 향상을 확인할 수 있다. 효율 측정은 1sun (100 mW/cm, AM1.5)조건에서 solar simulator를 이용하여 측정 했으며, 전자 재결합 감소는 Dark Current, EIS (Electrochemical Impedance spectroscopy)의 측정을 통하여 확인하였다. $HfO_2$를 이용한 blocking layer를 염료 감응 태양전지에 적용하면, 전자 재결합에 의한 손실을 줄여 성능적 측면에서 개선 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

In this paper, the new IGBT structures with trap injection are proposed to improve switching characteristics of the conventional SOI LIGBT. The simulations are used in order to investigate the effects of the position, width and concentration of trap injection region using 2D device simulator MEDICI. And, their electrical characteristics are analyze and the optimum design parameters are extracted. As a result of simulation, the turn off time for the proposed LIGBT model A by the trap injection is $0.78{\mu}s$. And, the latch up voltage is 3.4V and forward blocking voltage is 168V which are superior to that of conventional structure. In addition, the proposed model is achieved more efficient in switching time and process effort. Therefore, It is shown that the trap injection is very effective to reduce the turn off time with a little increasing of on-state voltage drop if its design and process parameters are optimized.

Methylene blue(MB) was photocatalytically degraded with one-body photoanode and solar simulator to investigate the possible application to both environmental purification and photoelectrochemical cell for hydrogen production. Photoactive titanium dioxide was formed on both sides of Ti plate following steps such as rinsing-annealing-calcination or anodizing(20 V, 30 V)-annealing($350^{\circ}C$, $450^{\circ}C)$ after etching. The prepared titania plate($2cm{\times}2\;cm$, ca 1.6 mg $TiO_2$ on the basis of $1\;{\mu}m$ thickness) was used to degrade MB(10 ppm in 200 mL solution). The reaction tended to follow the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics with zero order. Comparative experiments with Degussa P25 showed the same zero order kinetics when 2 mg of P25 had been used, while the first order kinetics when 200 mg used. This concludes the feasibility of the prepared titania plate as a material for the purification of low-level harmful organics and an electrode or a membrane for photoelectrochemical system for hydrogen production.

The two-step water splitting thermochemical cycle is composed of the T-R (Thermal Reduction)and W-D (Water Decomposition)steps. The mechanism of this cycle is oxidation-reduction, which produces hydrogen. The reaction temperature necessary for this thermochemical cycle can be achieved by a dish-type solar thermal collector (Inha University, Korea). The purpose of this study is to validate a water splitting device in the field. The device is studied and fabricated by Kodama et al (2010, 2011). The validation results show that the foam device, when loaded with $NiFe_2O_4/m-ZrO_2$powder, was successfully achieved hydrogen production with 9 (10 with a Xe-light solar simulator, 2009, Kodama et al.) repeated cycles under field conditions. Two foam device used in this study were tested for validation before an experiment was performed. The lab scale ferrite-conversion rate was in the range of 24~76%. Two foam devices were designed to for structural stability in this study. In the results of the experiments, the hydrogen percentage of the weight of each foam device was 7.194 and $9.954{\mu}mol\;g^{-1}$ onaverage, and the conversion rates 4.49~29.97 and 2.55~58.83%, respectively.
