For the self-aligned AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs, the surface states at the interface between the extrinsic base surface and the passivation nitride is a major cause of degradation of dc characteristics. In this paper the degradation mechanisms of self-aligned AlGaAs/GaAs HBT were analyzed, and GaAs HBTs, which employed an InGaP ledge emitter structure formed by the nonself-aligned process to cover the surface of the extrinsic base and reduce the surface states, produced high reliability. Accoridng to the acceleration lifetime test, the nonself-aligned InGaP/GaAs HBTs produced very reliable dc characteristics comparing with the self-aligned AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs. The activation energy was 1.97eV and MTTF $4.8{\times}10^{8}$ hrs at $140^{\circ}C$ which satisfied the MIL standard.

We have concentrated on the performance improvement of each part for durability, safety and cost of high pressure storage system for fuel cell vehicle so far. But for the mass production of fuel cell vehicle, it is necessary to evaluate durability and safety in system module. We built the standard to evaluate vibration and collision safety of high pressure storage system for fuel cell vehicle, and could verify reliability of high pressure storage system.

This study is to suggest a probabilistic design determining configurations of slider air bearings with the dimensional manufacturing tolerances of the ABS. The probabilistic design problem is formulated to minimize the variation in flying height from a target value while satisfying the desired probabilities keeping the pitch and roll angles within suitable range. The proposed approach first solves the deterministic optimization problem. Then, beginning with this solution, the RBDO is continued with the probabilistic constraints affected by the random variables with a fixed standard deviation in normal distribution. The RBDO results are directly compared with the values of the initial design and the results of the deterministic optimization, respectively. The reliability analyses are performed by the descriptive sampling (DS) to show the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed approach. It is demonstrated that the proposed RBDO approach can efficiently obtain an optimum solution satisfying all the desired probabilistic constraints.

A lens system for mobile phone cameras is comprised of various lenses and designed so as to satisfy design requirements for responses such as a modular transfer function (MTF). However, it is difficult to manufacture and assemble camera modules to maintain the same performance compared with the designed camera modules, because of uncertainty. We should always design a lens system by considering uncertainty that can be caused by errors in the manufacturing and assembly process of mobile phone cameras. The robust optimization offers tools of making robust decisions with the consideration of design parameters, uncontrollable parameters, and the variance of the system. Using an efficient reliability analysis method and an optimization algorithm, we obtained robust optimization results that maximize the mean of MTF and minimize the standard deviation and proposed a new robust design process for a lens system.

User interface is important of programs collaboration. User interface error have a effect in the whole system. As a result, the system reliability will deteriorate. Therefore, we are need to methodology that user interface type is analyze for a reliable analysis in the domain analysis phase. In this paper, we are propose the methodology that extraction and standard of user interface for reliability improvement of domain analysis.

A survey for finding corrosion examples was performed on the underground steel piles buried for 19 years in the area of iron and steel making factory near Young-il bay. A failure probability model, which can be used to check the reliability of the corrosive mechanical element, based on Von-Mises failure criterion and the standard normal probability function is proposed. The effects of varying boundary conditions such as temperature change, soil-friction, internal pressure, earthquake, loading of soil, traffic loads and corrosion on failure probability of the buried steel piles are systematically investigated. To allow for the uncertainties of the design variables, a reliability analysis technique has been adopted; this also allows calculation of the relative contribution of the random variables and the sensitivity of the failure probability.

To improve the reliability of hardness test results, Rockwell hardness round robin test was carried out for 10 laboratories. The test condition was the same with the ISO(International Standards Organization) standards. Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science(KRISS) supplied the hardness standard blocks and an indenter to laboratories for the measurement. The participating laboratories measured hardness of the specified areas on the blocks for 6 times with their own indenter as well as common indenter, respectively, and reported the results to KRISS. The result showed that quite large amount of the differences came from the indenter and it is necessary to change indenter with better quality for improved reliability in hardness measurement.

This paper presents the effect of boundary conditions in various failure pressure models published for the estimation of failure pressure. Furthermore, this approach is extended to the failure prediction with the aid of a failure probability model. The first order Taylor series expansion of the limit state function is used in order to estimate the probability of failure associated with each corrosion defect in buried pipelines for long exposure period with unit of years. A failure probability model based on the von-Mises failure criterion is adapted. The log-normal and standard normal probability functions for varying random variables are adapted. The effects of random variables such as defect depth, pipe diameter, defect length, fluid pressure, corrosion rate, material yield stress, material ultimate tensile strength and pipe thickness on the failure probability of the buried pipelines are systematically investigated for the corrosion pipeline by using an adapted failure probability model and varying failure pressure model.

SPC is the quality improvement technique of gathering since Motorola of U.S.A. have used SPC technique as a statistical process control method for promoting 6-sigma quality improvement strategy in 1988. In Korea, small and medium-sized enterprises are needed building of a system for statistical production control . In the present study, the methods of building SPC system with a moderate cost using a graphic programs of easy-to-use and high flexibility for small and medium-sized enterprises were inquired. The SPC system which enables statistic marking (maximum, minimum, mean, standard deviation, process capability index) and graph marking (X-Y coordinates and histogram) using LabVIEW 5.0, the graphic program by National Instrument Co., Ltd. was implemented in this study.
