The hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si : H) holds good promise for radiation detection from its inherent merits over crystalline counterpart. For the application to alpha spectroscopy, the induced charge collection in a-Si : H pin detector diodes ons simulated based on a relevant non-uniform charge generation model. The simulation was peformed for the initial energy and the range of incident alpha particles, detector thickness and the operational parameters such as the applied reverse bias voltage and shaping time. From the simulation, the total charge collection was strongly affected by hole collection as expected. To get a reasonable signal generation, therefore, the hole collection should be seriously considered for detector operational parameters such as shaping time and reverse voltage etc. For the spectroscopy of alpha particle from common alpha sources, the amorphous silicon should have about 70${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness.

Recently, amorphous selenium is used as x-ray conversion material for flat-panel x-ray detector. In this paper, we investigated the effect of breakdown under high voltage and leakage current in PN-type multi-layer structure based on p-type a-Se and n-type conductive thin film. Experimental results show that the multi-layer based detector reduced leakage current because n-type CeO2 conductive layer prevent from hole injection into a-Se layer from collection electrode, Also, the breakdown voltage was improved by dielectric layer between a-Se and top electrode.

The phase frequency detector (PFD) is one of the most important building blocks of a phase locked Loop (PLL). Due to blind-zone problem, the detection range of the PFD is low. The blind zone of a PFD directly depends upon the reset time of the PFD and the pre-charge time of the internal nodes of the PFD. Taking these two parameters into consideration, a PFD is designed to achieve a small blind zone closer to the limit imposed by process-voltage-temperature variations. In this paper an enhanced architecture is proposed for dynamic logic PFD to minimize the blind-zone problem. The techniques used are inverter sizing, transistor reordering and use of pre-charge transistors. The PFD is implemented in 180 nm technology with supply voltage of 1.8 V.

본 논문에서는 잡음광의 영향이 심한 환경에서 솔라 셀을 이용하여 잡음광에 의한 저주파 간섭을 소거하는 동시에 강한 잡음광을 수신부의 전원으로 활용할 수 있는 차동검출기를 새로이 소개한다. 솔라 셀에서 검출되는 DC전압을 수신부의 전원으로 사용하고, AC전압을 이용하여 차동검출방식으로 포토다이오드의 잡음전압을 소거함으로써 신호대잡음비가 약 20 dB 개선되었다.

X-ray detector는 의료용, 산업용 등 다양한 분야에서 사용되어지고 있으며 기존의 Analog X-ray 방식의 환경오염, 저장공간 부족, 실시간 분석의 어려움 등의 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 Digital X-ray로의 전환과 연구가 활발하며 이에 따른 관심도 높아지고 있는 살점이다. Digital X-ray detector는 p-영역과 n-영역 사이에 아무런 불순물을 도핑하지 않은 진성반도체(intrinsic semiconductor) 층을 접합시킨 이종접합 PIN 구조의 photodiode 이다. 이 소자는 역바이어스를 가해주면 p영역과 n영역 사이에서 캐리어 (carrier)가 존재하지 않는 공핍 영역이 발생하게 된다. 이런 공핍 영역에서 광흡수가 일어나면, 전자-정공 쌍이 발생한다. 그리고, 발생한 전자-정공 쌍에 전압이 역방향으로 인가되는 경우, 전자는 양의 전극으로 이동하고, 정공은 음의 전극으로 이동한다. 이와 같이, 발생한 캐리어들을 검출하여 전기적인 신호로 변환 시킨다. 고해상도의 Digital X-ray detector를 만들기 위해서는 누설전류에 의한 noise 감소와 소자의 높은 안정성과 내구성을 위한 높은 breakdown voltage를 가져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 Digital X-ray detector의 leakage current 감소와 breakdown voltage를 높이기 위하여 guradring과 gettering technology를 사용하여 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 기판으로는 $10k\Omega{\cdot}cm$ resistivity를 갖으며, n-type <111>인 1mm 두께의 4인치 Si wafer를 사용하였다. 그리고 pixel pitch는 $100{\mu}m$이며 active area는 $80{\mu}m{\times}80{\mu}m$인 $32\times32$ array를 형성하여 X-ray를 조사하여 소자의 특성을 평가 하였다.

This paper describes the design of enhanced TSSI RF Power Detector which has wide dynamic range using switch and Log amp. This Power Detector consists of low and high gain loops, and they adaptively switched by output DC voltage which is proportioned to input power level. Because Power Detector needs to separate the channel, so architecture is heterodyne system having 70MHz intermediate frequency. This proposed RF Power Detector is settle to the satisfaction of Closed loop power control system for W-CDMA optic repeater, and the obtained dynamic range cover the higher than 50dB.

In the 3-phase PWM converter, accurate detection of the supplied voltage phase is very important. But a detecting circuit cannot avoid generating the deviation of phase detector so that we need to compensate it. In this paper, an accurate and simple compensating method of deviation of phase detector is proposed.

Instrument transformers are a safe measurement device designed to measure high voltage and large current. A current transformer(CT) is a type of instrument transformer designed to provide a current in its secondary winding proportional to the current flowing in its primary. It is commonly used in metering and protective relaying in the electrical power industry where it facilitates the safe measurement of large current. But, care must be taken that the secondary of a current transformer is not disconnected from its load while current is flowing in the primary, as this will produce a dangerously high voltage across the open secondary, and may permanently affect the accuracy of the transformer. Especially, industrial disaster such as an electric shock and/or a burn accident occurs occasionally by disregard of warning or attention. In this paper, we developed the detector for open of current transformer secondary terminal, and which was tested by the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute. Test results show that Current Transformer secondary Open Detector(CTOD) interrupted within one second electronically when the 2nd terminal of current transformer opened.

Transillumination system used by radiation is widely applied to industrial imaging system. In this study, the linear detector array constructed with scintillator and pin diode, and a multi-channel data acquisition system was developed for precision inspection of end-milling. The detector module consists of $16-CdWO_4$crystal scintillator and photodiode array. The detector and data acquisition system was applied to precision inspection of end-mill and the images of the end-mill were successfully reconstructed. The total system can analyze the Detector Quantum Efficiency(DQE) of each system. The performance of developed photodiodes equipment was compared with each other for different crystal geometry and its characteristics. Finally fine details of the end-mill phantom were constructed for industrial application.
