The increasing demand for high density packaging technologies and the evolution to mixed digital and analogue devices has been the con-set of increasing research in thin film multi-layer technologies such as the passive components integration technology. In this paper, Cu and TaO thin film with RF sputtering was deposited for spiral inductor and MOM capacitor on the $SiO_2$/Si(100) substrate. MOM capacitor and spiral inductor were fabricated for L-C band pass filter by sputtering and lift-off. We are analyzed and designed thin films L-C passive components for band pass filter at 900 MHz and 1.8 GHz, important devices for mobile communication system. Based on the high-Q values of passive components, MOM capacitor and spiral inductors for L-C band pass filter, a low insertion loss of L-C passive components can be realized with a minimized chip area. The insertion loss was 3 dB for a 1.8 GHz filter, and 5 dB for a 900 MHz filter. This paper also discusses a analysis and practical design to thin-film L-C band pass filter.

RF 및 고속 아날로그 특성 및 제조 공정의 용이성에 의하여 고속 유무선통신 및 초고주파 분야에서 많이 이용되고 있는 SiGe 집적회로에서, SiGe 박막 저항기의편차를 줄여 집적회로의 신뢰성을 높이는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 실리콘계 박막 저항기 제조 후 발생하는 불균일한 저항 값 분포의 원인 규명과 그 해결 방안에 대하여 고찰한다. SiGe 박막 저항기의 실리사이드가 존재하는 컨택 영역에서 Ti-B석출물의 영향으로 인하여 저항 값의 불균일성 발생하는데, 이를 최소화하기 위하여는 가능한 최대의 boron 이온을 주입할 필요가 있다. SiGe 저항기와 금속을 배선하기 위한 컨택 홀의 크기가 작을수록 SiGe 층 내에서 돌출부가 컨택 홀의 전체면적을 차지하게 될 확률이 커지게 되어 접촉저항이 비정상적으로 커질 확률 또한 높아지게 되므로, 돌출부가 생성되는 SiGe 저항기의 경우는 컨택 홀의 면적을 크게하여 SiGe 저항기의 편차를 개선하였다.

본 논문에서는 주파수 하향 변환기를 이용한 전력증폭기의 혼변조 성분 검출 방법을 제안하였다. 전력증폭기 출력 신호의 일부를 전력분배기를 통해 2개의 경로로 나누어 변환기의 RF, LO 단자에 각각 인가한 뒤 그 차 주파수를 얻고, 얻어진 차 주파수 중 필요한 성분인 3차와 5차의 차 성분만 여파기로 걸러 내어 이를 DC 전압으로 변환함으로써 전력 증폭기 출력 신호의 혼변조 성분의 크기를 알 수 있었다. 3W 전력증폭기의 Vgs를 변화시켜서 3차 혼변조 성분이 -26.4~+2.15dBm, 5차 혼변조 성분이 -34.2~-12.89dBm으로 변화하였을 때, 검출된 DC 전압 크기는 +0.72~+0.9V의 변화를 보였다.

In the electronic components and devices fabrication, thin film resistors with low TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance) and high precision have been used over 3 GHz microwave in recent years. Ni-Cr alloys thin films resistors is one of the most commonly used resistive materials because it has low TCR and highly stable resistance. In this work, we fabricated thin film resistors using Evanohm alloys target(72Ni-20Cr-3Al-4Mn-Si) of s-type with excellent resistors properties by RF-sputtering. Also we reported best deposited conditions of thin film resistors for microwave to observe microstructure and electronic properties of thin film according to deposited conditions(between target and substrate, power supply)

Passive components are indispensable in the design and development of microchips for high-frequency applications. Inductors in particular are used frequently in radio frequency (RF) IC's such as low-noise amplifiers and oscillators. This paper gives a broad overview on the on-chip spiral inductors. The design concept and modeling approach of the typical square-shaped spiral inductor are first addressed. This is followed by the discussions of advanced structures for the enhancement of inductor performance. Research works reported in the literature are summarized to aid the understanding of the recent development of such devices.

Resident mobile communication system technology has been developed. But, surged high voltages in antenna generally have damaged mobile communication. To solve this problem, we use arrester in Rx-Tx line system. That is, the arrester is to protect devices in system against considerable over-voltages or lighting strike. Currently, system protection using of arrester has been arrived in content level but these days, the fact of PIMD(Passive Intermodulation Distortion) which is RF passive components' nonlinear characteristic has appeared. This paper describes PIMD' causes occurred in arrester-estimated from Gas tube capsule, plating, temperature, humidity by experiment.

We present the design of a compact microstrip lowpass filter with a wide stopband which is up to ten times the cutoff frequency. The filter is based on a coupled-line configuration and shunt open stubs. The open stubs create additional transmission zeros, which are used to extend the stopband of the filter without any additional components or cascaded units. A prototype lowpass filter with a 3 dB cutoff frequency of 0.428 GHz and a 15 dB stopband extended up to 4.77 GHz is fabricated to validate the theoretical predictions.

VLC (Visible Light Communication) is a wireless communication method using light that is visible to the human eye. It has a major advantage that it causes no interference to RF-based devices. This makes wireless communication possible in RF hazardous areas such as nuclear facilities. In order to apply VLC communication in harsh environment of nuclear power plant, the high luminance LEDs, which are key components of the VLC communication, have been gamma-ray irradiated at the dose rate of 4kGy/h during 72 hours up to a total dose of 288 kGy. The radiation induced color-center was formed in the LED housing cap made of transparent plastic or acryl material. The beam degradations of high luminance LEDs by high dose-rate gammaray irradiation are analyzed using color CCD image processing technology.

This paper describes the resistive FET mixer with low IF for the 4-Ch DBF(Digital Beam Forming) receiver with LNA(Low Noise Amplifier). This DBF receiver based on the direct conversion method is generally suitable for high-speed wireless mobile communications. A radio frequency(RF), a local oscillator(LO) and an intermediate frequency(IF) considered in this research are 2.09 ㎓, 2.08 ㎓ and 10㎒, respectively. The RF input power, LO input power and Vgs are used -10㏈m, 6㏈m and -0.4 V, respectively. In the 4-Ch resistive FET mixer with LNA, the measured IF and harmonic components of 10㎒, 20㎒, 2.09㎓ and 4.17㎓ are about -12.5 ㏈m, -57㏈m, -40㏈m and -54㏈m, respectively. The IF output power observed at each channel of 10㎒ is about -12.5㏈m and it is higher 27.5 ㏈m than the maximum harmonic component of 2.09㎓. Each IF output spectrum of the 4-Ch is observed almost same value and it shows a good agreement with the prediction.
