There have been great demands for higher density SRAM in all area of SRAM applications, such as mobile, network, cache, and embedded applications. Therefore, aggressive shrinkage of 6 T Full CMOS SRAM had been continued as the technology advances. However, conventional 6 T Full CMOS SRAM has a basic limitation in the cell size because it needs 6 transistors on a silicon substrate compared to 1 transistor in a DRAM cell. The typical cell area of 6 T Full CMOS SRAM is $70{\sim}90\;F^2$, which is too large compared to $8{\sim}9\;F^2$ of DRAM cell. With 80 nm design rule using 193 nm ArF lithography, the maximum density is 72 Mbits at the most. Therefore, pseudo SRAM or 1 T SRAM, whose memory cell is the same as DRAM cell, is being adopted for the solution of the high density SRAM applications more than 64 M bits. However, the refresh time limits not only the maximum operation temperature but also nearly all critical electrical characteristics of the products such as stand_by current and random access time. In order to overcome both the size penalty of the conventional 6 T Full CMOS SRAM cell and the poor characteristics of the TFT load cell, we have developed S3 cell. The Load pMOS and the Pass nMOS on ILD have nearly single crystal silicon channel according to the TEM and electron diffraction pattern analysis. In this study, we present $S^3$ SRAM cell technology with 100 nm design rule in further detail, including the process integration and the basic characteristics of stacked single crystal silicon TFT.

This paper introduces liquid crystal (LC) alignment and its electro-optical properties in the LC cells with silver nanowire (AgNW) networks. The AgNW network was used as an electrode of LC cell as a substitute for an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) film. LC alignment characteristics in the LC cell using AgNW networks, which have two different sheet resistances of $60{\Omega}/m^2$ and $80{\Omega}/m^2$, were observed. The LC alignment characteristics including pretilt angle, LC alignment state, and thermal stability are similar irrespective of sheet resistance of AgNW network. However, twisted-nematic (TN)-LC cell normally operated when using AgNW network with sheet resistance of $80{\Omega}/m^2$. Electrooptical properties of TN-LC cell exhibited competitive performance compared to those of TN-LC cell based on conventional ITO electrode, which allow new approaches to replace conventional ITO electrode in display technology.

A quartz crystal analyzer is utilized to monitor the corrosion process of an aluminum surface of a quartz crystal for marine sensor by sea water. A quartz crystal having 2000 $\AA$ of aluminum layer is installed in a specially designed cell and is in contact with sea water imitated electrolyte solution. While a constant potential is applied to the cell, the resonant frequency and resonant resistance are simultaneously measured using the quartz crystal analyzer. In addition, surface topographs are taken with an atomic force microscope(AFM) and the element analysis of the surface is conducted using an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer(EDX). The simultaneous measurement of resonant frequency and resonant resistance during the corrosion process explains the change of surface structure caused by the corrosion. The variation of resonant frequency addresses the amount surface metal dissolution. As a conclusion, it is found that a simple measurement using the quartz crystal analyzer can replace the complex monitoring employing large equipments in the investigation of a corrosion process of sensor surface.

고분자 안정화 블루상 액정셀(Polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal cell)은 ${\mu}s$ 단위의 응답속도와 광시야각 및 액정의 배향을 위한 문지름 과정이 필요 없는 장점이 있다. 그러나 높은 구동전압과 낮은 kerr 상수값으로 인해 유도되는 복굴절의 값이 낮아 고분자 안정화 블루상 액정셀의 전기광학특성을 저해하는 요인이 되었다. 본 논문에서는 지그재그 형태의 전극 구조를 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 전극 구조를 가지는 액정셀의 투과율 손실 없이 구동전압을 25%이상 낮출 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 액정 셀에서 전압에 따른 액정 거동을 수치 해석적으로 계산하는 방법과 그 적용 예를 보고한다. 액정 거동을 해석하기 위해 복잡한 구조에 적용이 용이한, 3차원 유한요소법을 사용하여 액정 셀 내부의 전압 분포를 계산하였다. 액정 셀 내부에 대한 자유에너지 밀도를 고려하였으며, 에릭슨-레슬리(Ericksen-Leslie) 방정식과 라플라스(Laplace) 방정식을 해석함으로서 액정 셀의 스위칭 특성을 계산하였다. 액정 방향자 분포를 이용하여 액정 셀의 광투과 특성을 Berreman's 4$\times$4 방법으로 계산하였고, 문턱 전압과 응답 속도를 확인하였다.

We investigated the improvement of viewing angle using a patterned double twisted (PDT) vertical-alignment (VA) cell mode on a homeotropic alignment layer. Good voltage-transmittance curves for negative dielectric anisotropic nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using the PDT-VA cell without a negative compensation film were obtained. The viewing angle of the PDT-VA cell without a negative compensation film was wider than that of a conventional VA cell.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-doped homogeneously aligned nematic liquid crystal (LC) cells driven by in-plane field were fabricated and their electro-optic characteristics were investigated. Effective cell retardation values in an absence of an electric field between doped and undoped LC were the same each other. In the presence of an electric field, however, measured effective cell retardation value was smaller in the CNT-doped cell than in the undoped cell so that the transmittance was slightly smaller in the CNT-doped cell than in the undoped cell. In addition, the CNT-doped cell exhibited slight increase in driving voltage and decrease in response time compared to the undoped cell. The CNT effects on electro-optic characteristics of the cell were discussed.

This paper represents the response surface model for the cell gap on the flexible liquid crystal display (LCD) process. Using response surface methodology (RSM). D-optimal design is carried out to build the design space and the cell gap is characterized by the quadratic model. The statistical analysis is used to verify the response surface model. This modeling technique can predict the characteristics of the desired response, cell gap, varying with process conditions.
