Segmented-channel MOSFETs (SegFETs) can achieve both good performance and variation robustness through the use of $HfO_2$ (a high-k material) to create the shallow trench isolation (STI) region and the very shallow trench isolation (VSTI) region in them. SegFETs with both an HTI region and a VSTI region (i.e., the STI region is filled with $HfO_2$, and the VSTI region is filled with $SiO_2$) can meet the device specifications for high-performance (HP) applications, whereas SegFETs with both an STI region and a VHTI region (i.e., the VSTI region is filled with $HfO_2$, and the STI region is filled with $SiO_2$) are best suited to low-standby power applications. AC analysis shows that the total capacitance of the gate ($C_{gg}$) is strongly affected by the materials in the STI and VSTI regions because of the fringing electric-field effect. This implies that the highest $C_{gg}$ value can be obtained in an HTI/VHTI SegFET. Lastly, the three-dimensional TCAD simulation results with three different random variation sources [e.g., line-edge roughness (LER), random dopant fluctuation (RDF), and work-function variation (WFV)] show that there is no significant dependence on the materials used in the STI or VSTI regions, because of the predominance of the WFV.

정적 램의 비트라인을 정밀하게 추적하는 감지증폭기의 enable 신호를 만들기 위해 replica bit-line 기술 (RBL)이 사용된다. 하지만, 공정으로 인한 문턱전압의 변화는 replica bit-line 회로에 흐르는 전류를 변화시키고 이는 감지증폭기의 enable 신호 생성 시간 ($T_{SAE}$)을 변화시키며, 결과적으로는 읽기 동작을 불안정하게 한다. 본 논문에서는 conventional replica bit-line delay ($RBL_{conv}$)구조 및 $T_{SAE}$ 변화를 감소시킬 수 있는 개선 구조인 dual replica bit-line delay (DRBD)구조와 multi-stage dual replica bit-line delay(MDRBD)구조를 소개하고, 14nm FinFET 공정, 동작전압 0.6V에서 각 기술들에 대한 읽기 성공률이 $6{\sigma}$를 만족하는 최대 on-cell 개수를 simulation을 통해 찾고 이때 각 구조에 대한 performance와 에너지를 비교했다. 그 결과, $RBL_{conv}$ 대비 DRBD와 MDRBD의 performance는 각각 24.4%와 48.3% 저하되고 에너지 소모는 각각 8%와 32.4% 감소된 것을 관찰하였다.

구면 SELFOC 렌즈와 플라스틱 비구면 렌즈를 사용하여 mobile phone 광학계를 설계하였다. SELFOC 소재는 radial GRIN(gradient index) 분포를 가지며, 이것은 설계에 추가적인 자유도를 제공하므로, 비구면을 구면으로 대치할 수 있다. 두개의 플라스틱 비구면 렌즈로 구성된 통상적인 2P 광학계와 결상특성을 비교 하였다. 이 연구에서는 시판되고 있는 SELFOC 소재를 사용하여 1GRIN 1P 광학계를 설계하였다. 그러나 1GRIN 1P의 성능보다 통상적인 2P 광학계의 성능이 좋았다. 1GRIN 1P 설계에서 성능은 GRIN 소재의 굴절률 구배에 의지하므로 굴절률 구배가 클수록 좋은 성능을 보인다. 그러므로 큰 굴절률 구배를 갖는 가상의 GRIN 소재를 사용하여 광학계를 설계하였다. 현재 시판되는 SELFOC 소재보다 3배 정도 굴절률 구배가 큰 GRIN 소재가 개발된다면, 1GRIN 1P 광학계의 성능이 통상적인 2P 광학계의 성능과 유사하거나 더 좋아 질 것이다.

가까운 미래에, 전자의 ballastic 혹은 near-ballastic 이동이 가능한 CNT(Carbon NanoTube)를 활용한 CNTFET(Carbon NanoTube Field Effect Transistor)은 현재의 실리콘 기반 트랜지스터를 교체할 유력한 후보 중 하나로 고려되고 있다. 고성능의 CNTFET으로 대규모 집적회로를 구현하기 위해서는 semiconducting CNT가 CNTFET 안에 동일한 간격과 높은 밀도로 정렬되어 배치되어야 하지만, CNTFET 공정의 미성숙으로, CNTFET 안의 CNT는 불규칙하게 배치하게 되고, 현존하는 HSPICE 라이브러리 파일은 불규칙한 CNT 배치에 의한 성능의 변화를 회로 레벨에서 평가할 수 있는 기능을 지원하지 않는다. 이러한 성능의 변화를 평가하기 위해서 선형 프로그래밍을 활용한 방법이 과거에 제안되었으나, CNTFET의 전류와 게이트 커패시턴스를 계산하는 과정에서 오차가 발생할 수 있는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 언급한 오차가 발생되는 이유에 대해서 자세히 논하고, 이 오차를 줄일 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 시뮬레이션 검토 결과, 새롭게 제시된 방법이 기존 방법의 오차, 7.096%를 3.15%까지 줄일 수 있음을 보이고 있다.

Recently for the impressive gains of performance and efficiency over vaneless diffuser with apparently little or no loss in flow range, the use of LSVD(Low Solidity Vaned Diffuser) is well recommended. The experiments on the effect of the vane turning angle variation(positive, negative, zero) with other design parameters fixed on the performance and flow range were carried out. Diffuser with zero turning angle has the best characteristics in terms of performance and efficiency and The FFT results show the different frequency characteristics due to the vane turning angle in low flow range.

Adaptive modulation and coding (AMC), which has a number of variation levels in accordance with the fading channel variation, is a promising technique for communication systems. In this paper, we present an AMC method using the cluster in OFDM system for bandwidth efficiency and performance improvement. The AMC schemes applied into each cluster or some clusters are determined by the minimum or the average SNR value among all the sub carriers within the corresponding cluster. It is important to find the optimal information on cluster because AMC performance can be varied according to the number and position of cluster. It is shown by computer simulation that the AMC method outperforms the fixed modulation in terms of bandwidth efficiency and its performance can be determined by the position and number of clusters.

The main objective of the research work presented in this article is to present a systematic approach for designing a multilayer feed-forward artificial neural network based self-tuning power system stabilizer (ST-ANNPSS). In order to suggest an approach for selecting the number of neurons in the hidden layer, the dynamic performance of the system with ST-ANNPSS is studied and hence compared with that of conventional PSS. Finally the effect of variation of loading condition and equivalent reactance, Xe is investigated on dynamic performance of the system with ST-ANNPSS. Investigations reveal that ANN with one hidden layer comprising nine neurons is adequate and sufficient for ST-ANNPSS. Studies show that the dynamic performance of STANNPSS is quite superior to that of conventional PSS for the loading condition different from the nominal. Also it is revealed that the performance of ST-ANNPSS is quite robust to a wide variation in loading condition.

An experimental study was conducted to investigated the effect of refrigerant flow control on the performance of a variable-speed heat pump operating in both cooling and heating mode. For this purpose, cooling and heating capacity, EER and refrigerant mass flow rate corresponding to an electronic valve as well as a capillary tube were measured as functions of compressor speed, length of capillary tube (or valve opening of the electronic valve), refrigerant charge, and outdoor temperature. From the comparison of experimental results, it was found that the performance variation due to the electronic valve opening became significant as the operating conditions(outdoor temperature and compressor speed) deviated from the standard condition at which heating capacity and EER were rated for the indicated capillary tube.

In this paper, a semi-active suspension adapting to road variation which also considers the frequency snesitivity of human is proposed. First, a road adapting controller composed of system identification and LQG control is designed. Using the extended least squares method, the road property is estimated by system identification as it varies, and the LQG controller considering the estimated road property and the frequency sensitivity of human is designed. Next, the semi-active suspension is made, which tracks the performance of the active suspension with the road adapting controller. Through numerical simulation, the performance of the proposed semi-active suspension is compared with that of a non-adaptive semi-active suspension with frequency-shaped performance index. As a result, we see that the road adapting semi-active suspension has better performance.

The effects of design parameters for small scale hydro power(SSHP) plants due to rainfall condition have been studied. The model to predict hydrologic performance for SSHP plants is used in this study. The results from analysis for rainfall conditions based on Weibull distribution show that the capacity and load factor of SSHP site had large difference between the variation of shape and scale parameter. Especially, the hydrologic performance of SSHP site due to variation of shape parameter varied more sensitive than the case of variation of scale parameter. And also, the methodology represented in this study can be used to decide the primary design specifications of SSHP sites.
