Experimental results are presented for the degradation of 3 nm-thick gate oxide ($SiO_2$) under both Negative-bias Temperature Instability(NBTI) and Hot-carrier-induced(HCI) stresses using P and NMOSFETs that are annealed with hydrogen or deuterium gas at high-pressure (1~5 atm.). Statistical parameter variations depend on the stress conditions. We suggest that deuterium bonds in $SiO_2$ film is effective in suppressing the generation of traps related to the energetic hot electrons.

In this paper, the circuit models of optical to electrical(O/E) characteristics of waveguide photodiode(WGPD) submodule are examined. Test structures of WGPD and WGPD submodule were fabricated and S21 parameter was measured to characterize the O/E conversion property. Valid circuit models were derived by RF circuit simulation and O/E characteristics were modeled to analyze the effects of model parameters on the WGPD submodule performances. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the suggested WGPD submodule model can explain the characteristics of the O/E conversion of WGPD submodule, where the parasitic components originated from ribbon bonding block crucially influence on the performance of WGPD submodule, are able to show more efficient property by making compact bonding structure. We propose an effective WGPD submodule bonding structure and it can ensure the 40Gbps operation of WGPD.

PURPOSES : This study is to develop a method to evaluate lubrication of asphalt binder using WMA additives and compare their lubrication effects on two types of WMA additives and three types of asphalt film thicknesses. METHODS : This study is based on laboratory experiments and rheological analysis of the experimental results. Testing materials are aggregate diskes, asphalt, and WMA additives. The main testing method is stress sweep test by using dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). RESULTS : Sasobit gives more lubrication effects on film thicknesses 0.2mm and under but LEADCAP does on film thicknesses over 0.3mm. CONCLUSIONS : LVE-Limit is a better parameter to discern the lubrication effects on the thin film asphalt thickness. Both Sasobit and LEADCAP WMA additives provide effective lubrication at the compaction temperature.

This paper describes a speech enhancement scheme that leads to significant improvements in recognition performance when used in the ASR front-end. The proposed approach is based on adaptive comb filtering and an MMSE-related parameter estimator. While adaptive comb filtering reduces noise components remarkably, it is rarely effective in reducing non-stationary noises. Furthermore, due to the uniformly distributed frequency response of the comb-filter, it can cause serious distortion to clean speech signals. This paper proposes an improved comb-filter that adjusts its spectral magnitude to the original speech, based on the speech absence probability and the gain modification function. In addition, we introduce the modified comb filtering-based speech enhancement scheme for ASR in mobile environments. Evaluation experiments carried out using the Aurora 2 database demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms conventional adaptive comb filtering techniques in both clean and noisy environments.

The morphological analysis of wear particle is a very effective means for machine condition monitoring and fault diagnosis. In order to describe morphology of various wear particle, the wear test was carried oui under friction experimental conditions. And fractal descriptors was applied to boundary and surface of wear particle with image processing system. These descriptors to analyze shape and surface wear particle are share fractal dimension and surface fractal dimension. The boundry fractal dimension can be derived from the boundary profile and surface fractal dimension can be determined b)r sum of intensity difference of surface pixel. The morphology of wear particles can be effectively obtained by two fractal dimensions.

In this study, an indirect method to estimate the setup runout of a ball-end mill from cutting force signal is proposed. This runout makes cutting forces of each tooth of the milling cutter unequal. By transforming the cutting force model from time domain to frequency domain through time-convolution theorem, the magnitude and phase angle of runout can be explicitly expressed with material constants, cutting conditions, and force signal. The static setup runout can be obtained by extrapolating estimated effective runout, which is independent of feedrate but decreases linearly with increase in axial depth of cut. The setup runout estimated by slot cutting experiments, shows good agreement with the measured one.

Cutting by a high speed laser cutting machine is one of most effective technologies to improve productivity. This paper has studied to obtain the cutting characteristics and optimal cutting conditions in a high speed feeding type laser cutting machine by Tacuchi method in design of experiments. A Lf(34) orthogonal array is adopted to study the effect of adjustment parameter. The adjustment parameters consist of cutting speed, laser power, laser output duty and assistant gas pressure. And the quality feature is selected as surface roughness of sheet metal. Variance analysis is performed in order to evaluate the effect of adjustment parameters on the quality feature of laser cutting process.

The nonlinear characteristics of a suspension is directly related to the ride quality of a passenger car. In this study, a dynamic experiment for a spring and a damper of a passenger car is performed to analyze the nonlinear characteristics using MTS 1-axial testing machine and a mathematical nonlinear dynamic suspension model based on experimental data is devised to estimate the ride quality using Billings' method. The devised nonlinear model is applied to the ride quality analysis using K factor and the effect of suspension parameters is examined. As a result, the friction between the cylinder and the piston of a damper is the most effective parameter for the ride quality of a passenger car.

Various Cu films were fabricated using sputtering and electroplating with and without additive, and their surface damages after annealing were investigated. After annealing at 43SoC, the difference between damage morphologies of the films was observed. In some films stress-induced grooves along the grain boundaries were observed, while in the others voids at the grain boundary triple junctions were observed. It was also observed that the stress-induced groove was formed along the high energy grain boundaries. It was found out that the difference of the morphologies of surface damages in Cu films depends on not process type but grain boundary characteristics. To explain the morphological difference of surface damages, a simple parameter considering the contributions of grain structures and grain boundary characteristics to surface and grain boundary diffusions is suggested. The effective grain boundary area, which is a function of grain size, film thickness and the fraction of high energy grain boundaries, played a key role in the morphological difference.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the damage of the reinforced concrete bridge piers. For the purpose of this research, twelve reinforced concrete specimens were fabricated and experimented with quasi-static test method. The selected test parameters are lap splice, axial load ratio, confinement steel ratio and number of loading cycle. The method of evaluate of damage index is the model proposed by Park and Ang. In accordance with this research, the most effective test parameter is lap splice of longitudinal steel. Therefore, the retrofit scheme of reinforced concrete bridge piers with lap splice of longitudinal steel, which was constructed before 1992, must be settled without delay. Otherwise, the effect of axial force is trivial. The more confinement steel is less damage index and more loading cycle lead to raise damage. The damage statement proposed Park and Ang is the same with experimental results.
