This study presents a process control of the wafer edge exposure (WEE) used in 300[mm] wafer environment. WEE, as a key module of the overall track system (coater and developer) for making patterns on wafer, is a system to expose the UV-ray on the wafer to remove a photo resist around edge of the wafer. It can measure, memorize and control the distance and angles from wafer center to edge. Recently in the 300[mm] semiconductor fabrication, the track system strongly requires that WEE station has a controller with high throughput and accuracy to increase process efficiency. We have designed and developed the controller, and present here a WEE control algorithm and experimental results.

디스플레이 매체의 발전에 따라 TV나 컴퓨터 모니터 또는 TFT-LCD, PDP, EL 등의 평판 디스플레이장치들의 대형화, 고화질, 고정밀도가 요구되어지고 있다. 이러한 디스플레이 장치들은 영상표시를 위해 유리를 사용하고 있는데, 사용되는 유리의 형상과 두께는 디스플레이 장치들의 성능에 영향을 준다. 특히 장치가 대형화되면서 대형 평판 유리의 변형된 형상과 균일하지 않은 두께는 디스플레이 장치들의 고화질, 고정밀도를 막는 주요한 요인이 되고 있다. 이러한 이유로 디스플레이 장치용 평판 유리의 형상 및 두께를 측정하는 센서의 요구가 많아지고 있다. 그러나 아직 유리의 형상과 두께를 측정하는 센서 및 시스템은 고가이고. 측정 방법 또한 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 하나의 센서로 유리의 형상과 두께를 동시에 고속으로 측정이 가능한 저가의 비접촉식 광센서를 개발하기로 한다. 이 논문에서 개발된 광센서에는 CD-player에 사용되는 홀로그램 레이저를 사용함으로써 고정밀 형상측정, 저가의 광센서, 센서의 소형화를 이룰 수 있다.

A simulation study of a current-mode direct current (DC)-DC buck converter is presented in this paper. The converter, with a fully integrated power module, is implemented by using sense method metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and bipolar complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology. When the MOSFET is used in a current sensor, the sensed inductor current with an internal ramp signal can be used for feedback control. In addition, the BiCMOS technology is applied in the converter for an accurate current sensing and a low power consumption. The DC-DC converter is designed using the standard $0.35\;{\mu}m$ CMOS process. An off-chip LC filter is designed with an inductance of 1 mH and a capacitance of 12.5 nF. The simulation results show that the error between the sensing signal and the inductor current can be controlled to be within 3%. The characteristics of the error amplification and output ripple are much improved, as compared to converters using conventional CMOS circuits.

This paper presents the development of a magneto-optical encoder for higher precision and smaller size. In general, optical encoders can have very high precision based on the position information of the slate, while their sizes tend to be larger due to the presence of complex and large components, such as an optical module. In contrast, magnetic encoders have exactly the opposite characteristics, i.e., small size and low precision. In order to achieve encoder features encompassing the advantages of both optical and magnetic encoders, i.e., high precision and small size, we designed a magneto-optical encoder and developed a method to detect absolute position, by compensating for the error of the hall sensor using the linear table compensation method. The performance of the magneto-optical encoder was evaluated through an experimental testbed.

ZigBee is becoming a promising communication protocol for wireless sensor networks based on low-power consumption. In case of a ZigBee network requesting continuous transmission of sensed data, the required bandwidth can be overwhelm the maximum transmission rate of 150Kbps. However, the ZigBee router which delivers data from source node to destination node can transmit data at most in a half of maximum rate because the router can not send and receive the data simultaneously. In this paper, we propose and implement a dual-channel router which can send and receive data simultaneously. Also, we propose a centralized channel allocation algorithm to allocate different channels to each module. The experiment result by the proposed dual-channel router shows a maximum throughput of 150Kbps as large as twice of normal single-channel router.

KOMPSAT-1 was launched on 21 December, 1999 and the main mission of the satellite is the cartography to provide the imagery from a remote earth view for the production of maps of Korean territory. For this purpose, the satellite has capability to tilt the spacecraft utmost $\pm$45 degrees to acquire stereo satellite imagery in different paths. This study aims to estimate the three dimensional positioning accuracy of stereo satellite imagery from EOC(electro-optical camera), a payload of KOMPSAT-1 satellite. For this purpose, the ground control points and check points were obtained by GPS surveying. The sensor modeling and the adjustment was performed by PCI software installed in KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute), which contained mathematical analysis module for KOMPSAT-1 EOC. The study areas were Taejon and Nonsan, placed in the middle part of Korea. As a result of this study, we found that the RMSE(root mean square error) value of three dimensional positioning KOMPST-1 stereo imagery can be less than 1 pixel (6.6 m) if we can use about 10 GCPs(ground control points). Then, a standarrd of FGDC (Federal Geographic Data Committee) of USA was applied to the result to estimate the three dimensional positioning accuracy of KOMPSAT-1 stereo imagery.

Recently, interest in baseball has been increasing as the level of international baseball games, the popularity of domestic leagues, and the number of players entering the MLB has increased. In this paper, we propose a pitching system that can be applied to both professional and amateur baseball. The pitching system consists of a control module using MSB764T PLC, a pitching mechanism including AC motors and a ball feed rail, an HMI using the CHA-070WR model, inverter, etc. To pitch the breaking balls, the two AC motors each use an inverter to independently control the speed. The implemented pitching system was experimented on, investigating ball speed and ball movement according to RPM using the BUSHNELL Velocity Speed Gun. Experimental results on ball speed are similar to the theoretical data and the measured data. From the experimental data, it is confirmed that the damping coefficient value for the pitching ball is about 0.98. In the case of the breaking ball, the larger the difference between the speeds on the sides of the ball and the faster the ball speed, the larger the bending degree.

In this paper, we designed the COS MEMS system for sensing the falling detection and explosive noise of fuse link in COS (Cut Out Switch) installing on the power distribution. This system analyzed the failure characteristics and an instantaneous breakdown of power distribution. Therefore, our system strengths the industrial competence and guaranties the stable power supply. In this paper, we applied BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology which is suitable protocol for low data rate, low power consumption and low-cost sensor applications. We experimented with LSM6DSOX which is system-in-module featuring 3 axis digital accelerometer and gyroscope boosting in high-performance mode and enabling always-on low-power features for an optimal motion for the COS fuse holder. Also, we used the MP34DT05-A for gathering an ultra-compact, low power, omnidirectional, digital MEMS microphone built with a capacitive sensing element and an IC interface. The proposed COS MEMS system is developed based on nRF52 SoC (System on Chip), and contained a 3-axis digital accelerometer, a digital microphone, and a SD card. In this paper of experiment steps, we analyzed the performance of COS MEMS system with gathering the accelerometer raw data and the PDM (Pulse Data Modulation) data of MEMS microphone for broadcasting the failure of COS status.
