This simulator is developed for the analysis of a MOSFET based on Thermally Coupled Energy Transport Model(TCETM). The simulator has the ability to calculate not only stationary characteristics but also non - stationary characteristics of a MOSFET. It solves basic semiconductor devices equations including Possion equation, current continuity equations for electrons and holes, energy balance equation for electrons and heat flow equation, using finite difference method. The conventional semiconductor device simulation technique, based on the Drift-Diffusion Model (DDM), neglects the thermal and other energy-related properties of a miniaturized device. I, therefore, developed a simulator based on the Thermally Coupled Energy Transport Model (TCETM) which treats not only steady-state but also transient phenomena of such a small-size MOSFET. In particular, the present paper investigates the breakdown characteristics in transient conditions. As a result, we found that the breakdown voltage has been largely underestimated by the DDM in transient conditions.

We designed a novel ultra-miniaturized microcolumn structure having an stigmator to significantly improve throughput per unit time, which is the biggest disadvantage of microcolumns. We adopted the structure of the stigmator in the form of an electrostatic octupole electrode, and used an electrostatic quadrupole deflector with a relatively simple structure considering the increase in wiring due to the introduction of the stigmator. We have dramatically reduced the effect of astigmatism that occurs when the electron beam probe is scanned to the periphery of the target by introducing the stigmator between the control electrode and the deflector. As our numerical analysis simulation results, the field of view obtained as a result of this study is about 46.3% improved compared to our previous study, and the electron beam probe size of less than 10 nm was achieved in the entire field of view.

The conventional SCC(stress corrosion cracking) test methods have much difficulty in evaluating the SCC behaviors of the localized zone like HAZ, bond line and weld metal because of the specimen size. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to develop the new SCC test method of the welded zone by evaluating the SCC susceptibility on parent metal and various microstructures of the welded zone by SP(small punch) test method using miniaturized small specimen and SSRT(slow strain rate test) method(SP-SSRT). Besides, this study is to verify the efficiency of the SP-SSRT results through AE(acoustic emission) test which is a useful technique to monitor the microfracture processes of the material. From the results of SCC susceptibility, SEM observation and AE test, it can be concluded that the SP-SSRT test using miniaturized small specimen(10mm*10mm*0.5mm) will be a good test method to evaluate the SCC susceptibility on the local zone such as the welded zone.

소형 시험편 기술은 최소량의 재료를 사용하여 그 재료의 물리적인 거동을 특성화할 수 있기 때문에 산업설비로부터 많은 재료를 수집할 수 없는 경우에 유용한 방법이다. 본 연구에서 사용한 재료는 화력발전소 터빈로터 소재로 많이 사용되고 있는 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V강이었으며, $^630{\circ}C$에서 등온열화처리하여 5종류의 가속 열화 모사재를 만들었다. 충격시험에는 표준 시험편과 소형 시험편이 사용되었으며, 일부 소형 시험편에 소성 구속을 증가시키기 위해 측면흠을 만들어 넣었다. 표준 시험편과 소형 시험편의 충격특성을 비교하였으며 크기효과를 고찰하였고, 소형 시험편의 연성취성천이온도와 표준 시험편의 연성취성천이온도와의 상관관계를 만들었다. 따라서 소형 시험편의 충격시험결과로부터 표준 시험편의 충격특성을 추정하는 것이 가능하게 되었다.

This paper describes the design of size-reduced ring hybrid couplers (RHC) using a common defected ground structure (CDGS). The proposed RHC consists of double-sided microstrip line and the CDGS patterns which are placed in the common ground plane of the double-sided microstrip line. The effects of DGS as a periodic structure are imposed on both microstrip lines, so the advantages of the existing DGS are doubled. The normal RHC is designed first and folded by the half reference plane with the CDGS realized on the common ground plane. So another trial for size-reduction is performed by folding the RHC and inserting CDGS besides to the conventional DGS. In order to show a design example, a 2GHz RHC is designed and miniaturized using CDGS. The size of the miniaturized RHS is around 50% of the normal one, while the performances are well preserved even after the size-reduction.

A coplanar waveguide employing periodic 3D coupling structures (CWP3DCS) was developed for application in miniaturized on-chip passive components on silicon radio frequency integrated circuits (RFIC). The CWP3DCS showed the shortest wavelength of all silicon-based transmission line structures that have been reported to date. Using CWP3DCS, a highly miniaturized impedance transformer was fabricated on silicon substrate, and the resulting device showed good RF performance in a broad band from 4.6 GHz to 28.6 GHz. The device as was 0.04 mm² in size, which is only 0.74% of the size of the conventional transformer on silicon substrate.

In this paper, fully embedded and miniaturized diplexer has been designed, fabricated, and characterized for dual-band/mode CDMA handset applications. The size of the embedded diplexer is significantly reduced by embedding high Q circular spiral inductors and high DK MIM capacitors into low cost organic package substrate. The fabricated diplexer has insertion losses and isolations of -0.5 and -23dB at 824-894MHz and -0.7 and -22dB at 1850-1990MHz, respectively. Its size is 3.9mm$\times$3.9mm$\times$ 0.77mm (height). The fabricated diplexer is the smallest one which is fully embedded into low cost organic package substrate.

In this work, open and short stubs that were fabricated on the silicon substrate and for which the periodically arrayed grounded-strip structure (PAGS) was employed were studied along with their basic RF characteristics for an applicability regarding the RF-matching components. The PAGS-employing open and short stubs showed losses that are much lower than that of the conventional stub on the silicon substrate. Concretely, the Q values of the open and short stubs are 9 and 10.2, respectively, while the Q value of the conventional open stub is 2.5. With the use of the PAGS-employing open and short stubs, a highly miniaturized harmonic-rejection filter was also fabricated on the silicon substrate. The filter exhibited a comparatively sound harmonic-suppression characteristic at n × 13 GHz, and its size is 0.1 mm², which is only 7% of the size of the conventional filter on the silicon substrate.

In this paper, Ive propose a bow-tie-shaped meander slot antenna find by a microstrip line to achieve compact size as well as wideband characteristic. While conventional bow-tie slot antennas exhibit wide band characteristic, they have relatively large size. On the other hand, the meander slot antennas are very small, but they reveal quite narrow bandwidth (typically less than 1 %). To realize miniaturized antennas balling large bandwidth, combination of the bow-tie slot and the meander slot geometries is proposed in this paper. Theoretical results show that the proposed antenna with uniform slot width is 65.5 % smaller than that of the conventional bow-tie antenna in size, while the bandwidth is 3 times larger than that of the meander slot antenna. Moreover, the non-uniform slot width antenna shows 60 % smaller in size and about 3.5 times wider in bandwidth than the previous antennas. Measured antenna performance reveals excellent agreement with the predicted values.
