Integrating the driver circuitry directly onto the glass substrate would be one of the advantages of polycrystalline Si (poly-Si) TFT-(LCD). Low-temperature poly-Si TFT(LTPS) is well-suited for higher-definition display applications due to its intrinsically superior electrical characteristics. In order to improve LTPS electrical characteristics, currently the excimer laser-induced crystallization (ELC) processes and sequential lateral solidification method were developed. Grain size of the poly-Si is mainly affected by beam pitch and energy density. Key parameter for making a larger poly-Si using excimer laser annealing(ELA) and increasing a throughput is due to increase in beam pitch and energy density to a certain degree. Furthermore, thin $SiO_{2}$ capping is effective to suppress the protrusion of the poly-Si thin films and to reduce the interface state density. From the ELA process, we are able to control grain size by varying different parameters such as number of shots and energy density.

This paper is focused on the improvement of MOS device reliability related to deuterium process. The injection of deuterium into the gate oxide film was achieved through two kind of method, high-pressure annealing and low-energy implantation at the back-end of line, for the purpose of the passivation of dangling bonds at $SiO_2/Si$ interface. 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 injection (HCI) stresses using P and NMOSFETs. Annealing process was rather difficult to control the concentration of deuterium. Because when the concentration of deuterium is redundant in gate oxide excess traps are generated and degrades the performance, we found annealing process did not show the improved characteristics in device reliability, compared to conventional process. However, deuterium ion implantation at the back-end process was effective method for the fabrication of the deuterated gate oxide. Device parameter variations under the electrical stresses depend on the deuterium concentration and are improved by low-energy deuterium implantation, compared to conventional process. Our result suggests the novel method to incorporate deuterium in the MOS structure for the reliability.

This paper presents the test results of total 35 direct tensile specimens to investigate the effect of high-strength concrete on the tension stiffening effect in axially loaded reinforced concrete tensile members. Three kinds of concrete strength 25, 60, and 80 MPa were included as a major experimental parameter together with six concrete cover thickness ratios. The results showed that as higher strength concrete was employed, not only more extensive split cracking along the reinforcement was formed, but also the transverse crack space became smaller. Thereby, the effective tensile stiffness of the high-strength concrete specimens at the stabilized cracking stage was much smaller than those of normal-strength concrete specimens. This observation is contrary to the current design provisions, and the significance in reduction of tension stiffening effect by employment of high-strength concrete is much higher than that would be expected. Based on the present results, a modification factor is proposed for accounting the effect of the cover thickness and the concrete strength.

This paper presents stabilization and adaptive control of flexible single link robot manipulator system by self-recurrent neural networks that is one of the neural networks and is effective in nonlinear control. The architecture of neural networks is a modified model of self-recurrent structure which has a hidden layer. The self-recurrent neural networks can be used to approximate any continuous function to any desired degree of accuracy and the weights are updated by feedback-error learning algorithm. When a flexible manipulator is rotated by a motor through the fixed end, transverse vibration may occur. The motor toroque should be controlled in such a way that the motor rotates by a specified angle, while simultaneously stabilizing vibration of the flexible manipuators so that it is arresed as soon as possible at the end of rotation. Accurate vibration control of lightweight manipulator during the large changes in configuration common to robotic tasks requires dynamic models that describe both the rigid body motions, as well as the flexural vibrations. Therefore, a dynamic models for a flexible single link robot manipulator is derived, and then a comparative analysis was made with linear controller through an simulation and experiment. The results are proesented to illustrate thd advantages and imporved performance of the proposed adaptive control ove the conventional linear controller.

This paper summarizes an experimental and analytical study on the application of viscoelastic dampers as energy dissipation devices in structural applications. It can be concluded the viscoelastic dampers are effective in reducing excessive vibrations of structures under strong earthquake ground motions. It is also found that the modal strain energy method can be used to reliably predict the equivalent structural damping, and the seismic response of a viscoelastically damped structure can be accurately estimated by conventional modal analysis techniques. Based on the above studies, a design procedure for viscoelastically damped structures is presented. This design procedure fits naturally into the conventional structural design flow chart by including damping ratio as an additional design parameter.

This paper describes an analysis method based on the experimental parameter for the 0.9kW starter motor of vehicle with permanent magnet and pole core, and analyzed the influence by the effect of pole core of starting motor by using the 2D-FEM analysis technique to reflect the structural characteristic of 3D. A starter motor consists mainly of armature, yoke and permanent magnet with the pole core. Additionally, there is different the axial length of each part. Therefore, the effective of analysis method is needed to improve the characteristic of it. This paper approached the 2D-FEM analysis estimated by the 3D-EMCN(Three Dimensional Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network) instead of the 3D-FEM analysis to minimize parameters. As a result, this paper is proposed the validity of 2D-FEM analysis and obtained reasonable results for improving a performance.

This paper introduces a constraint operator for the kinematic calibration of a parallel mechanism. By adopting the concept of a constraint operator, the movement between two poses is constrained. When the constrained movements are satisfied, the active joint displacements are taken and inputted into the kinematic model to compute the theoretical movements. A cost function is derived by the errors between the theoretical movement and the actual movement. The parameters that minimize the cost function are estimated and substituted into the kinematic model for a kinematic calibration. A single constraint plane is employed as a mechanical fixture to constrain the movement, and three digital indicators are used as the sensing devices to determine whether the constrained movement is satisfied. This calibration system represents an effective, low cost and feasible technique for a parallel mechanism. A calibration algorithm is developed with a constraint operator and implemented on a parallel manipulator constructed for a machining center tool.

The effect of a continuous blowing or suction on an oscillating 2-D NACA0012 airfoil was investigated numerically for the dynamic stall control. The influence of control parameter variation was also studied in the view point of aerodynamic characteristics. The result showed that the blowing control kept a higher lift drag ratio before stall angle but the dynamic stall angle was not exceed to without control result. As the slot position was closer to leading edge, the positive control effect becomes greater. The stronger jet and the smaller jet angel made more favorable roles on the control performance. In the cases of the suction, the overall control features were similar to those of the blowing, but dynamic stall angle was increased, i.e. suction was more effective to control dynamic stall. It was also founded that the suction control was showed better control effect as the slot position moves to trail edge within thirty percentage of chord length. In the simulation for the jet strength and the jet angle control, the same tendencies were observed to those of blowing cases.

Polishing pads play an important role in chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) which has recently been recognized at the most effective method to achieve global planarization. In this paper, we have investigated CMP characteristics as a change of groove density of polishing pads. The parameter $(K_n)$ is proposed to estimate groove density of pad. The $K_n$ is defined as groove area divided by pitch area. As the groove density value increased, removal rate increased to some point and then gradually saturated in case of increasing the groove density excessively. In addition Within wafer non-uniformity(WIWNU) worse as groove density increased excessively, although WIWNU improved as groove density increased. Also the uniformity of temperature of pad surface decreased as the groove density increased. It was because that the cooling effect increased as groove density increased. In other words, increasing the groove density which means the apparent contact area of pad has influence on amount of discharge of slurry during polishing process.
