As the size of semiconductor devices shrinks in the horizontal as well as vertical dimension it is difficult to estimate the transport-velocity of electron because they drift in non-equilibrium with a few scattering. In this paper HYbrid Monte Carlo simulator which employs the drift-diffusion model for hole-transport and Monte Carlo model for electron-transport in order to reduce the simulation time and increase the accuracy as well has been developed and applied to analyze the electron-transport in InAlAs/InGaAs HBT which is attractive for an ultra high speed active device in high speed optical fiber transmission systems in terms of the velocity and energy distribution as well as cutoff frequency.

Flood damage has been increased due to the abnormal climate and extreme rainfall. So, quantitative and qualitative hydrologic data should be improved in oder to enhance accuracy of hydrologic forecast. However, research regarding hydrologic data have not been thorough enough. Therefore, in this study, monte carlo simulation was applied to rainfall runoff model to improve the reliability of runoff analysis and risk analysis. Rainfall-Stage-Discharge curve was developed as a consequence of MCS and it is possible to get correct rating curve for high water level.

Nowadays, one of the serious problems in KEPCO system is large fault current which exceeds the SCC(Short Circuit Capacity) of circuit breaker, As the superconductivity technology has been developed, the HTS-FCL(High Temperature Superconductor-Fault Current Limiter) can be one of the attractive alternatives to solve the fault current problem. However, the parameters of HTS-FCL should be designed optimally to have a best performance. Under this background, this paper presents the optimal design method of parameters for resistive type HTS-FCL using stochastic analysis technique.

In the present study, we develop two history matching techniques based on Markov chain Monte Carlo method where radial basis function and Gaussian distribution generated by unconditional geostatistical simulation are employed as the random walk transition kernels. The Bayesian inverse methods for aquifer characterization as the developed models can be effectively applied to the condition even when the targeted information such as hydraulic conductivity is absent and there are transient hydraulic head records due to imposed stress at observation wells. The model which uses unconditional simulation as random walk transition kernel has advantage in that spatial statistics can be directly associated with the predictions. The model using radial basis function network shares the same advantages as the model with unconditional simulation, yet the radial basis function network based the model does not require external geostatistical techniques. Also, by employing radial basis function as transition kernel, multi-scale nested structures can be rigorously addressed. In the validations of the developed models, the overall predictabilities of both models are sound by showing high correlation coefficient between the reference and the predicted. In terms of the model performance, the model with radial basis function network has higher error reduction rate and computational efficiency than with unconditional geostatistical simulation.

In the two-step analysis of Pebble-Bed type High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (PB-HTGR), the lattice physics calculation for the generation of homogenized cross-sections is based on the fuel pebble. However, the randomly-dispersed fuel particles in the fuel pebble introduce double heterogeneity and randomness. Compared to the deterministic method, the Monte Carlo method which is flexible in geometry modeling provides a high-fidelity treatment. Therefore, the Monte Carlo code NECP-MCX is extended in this study to perform the lattice physics calculation of the PB-HTGR. Firstly, the capability for the simulation of randomly-dispersed media, using the explicit modeling approach, is developed in NECP-MCX. Secondly, the capability for the generation of the homogenized cross-section is also developed in NECP-MCX. Finally, simplified PB-HTGR problems are calculated by a two-step neutronics analysis tool based on Monte Carlo homogenization. For the pebble beds mixed by fuel pebble and graphite pebble, the bias is less than 100 pcm when compared to the high-fidelity model, and the bias is increased to 269 pcm for pebble bed mixed by depleted fuel pebble. Numerical results show that the Monte Carlo lattice physics calculation for the two-step analysis of PB-HTGR is feasible.

We have developed a Monte Carlo (MC) simulator for electron beam lithography in multi-layer resists and multi-layer substrates in order to fabricate and develop high-speed PHEMT devices for millimeter- wave applications. For the deposited energy calculation to multi-layer resists by electron beam in MC simulation, we modeled newly for multi-layer resists and heterogeneous multi-layer substrates. Using this model, we simulated T-gate or r-gate fabrication process in PHEMT device and showed our results with SEM observations.

Threshold porosity above which fission gas release channels would be formed in the rim egion of high burnup UO$_2$ fuel was estimated by the Monte Carlo method and Hoshen-Kopelman algorithm. With the assumption that both rim pore and rim grain can be represented by cube, pore distribution in the rim was simulated 3-dimensionally by the Monte Carlo method according to porosity and pore size distribution. Then, using the Hoshen-Kopelman algorithm, the fraction of open rim pores interlinked to the outer surface of a fuel pellet was derived as a function of rim porosity. The simulation showed that porosity of 24-25% is the threshold above which the number of rim pores forming release channels increases very rapidly. On the other hand, channels would not be formed if the porosity is less than about 23.5%. This is consistent with the observation that, for porosity less than 23.5%, almost no fission gas is released in the rim. However, once the rim porosity reaches beyond 25%, extensive open paths would be developed and considerable fission gas release would start in the rim.

본 연구에서는 도시하천을 대상으로 Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS)에 의한 모의발생 기법 적용으로 최적화된 강우-유출 모형과 홍수위 추적모형 연계를 통한 고수위 Rating Curve 작성법을 제안하였다. 대상유역의 관측 자료로부터 작성된 수위-유량곡선식은 유량측정의 오차와 더불어 고수위에 대한 불확실성을 내포하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 관측치와의 표준오차($S_e$)는 0.056으로, 무작위 불확실성($2S_{mr}$)은 평균 ${\pm}1.43%$, 최대 ${\pm}4.27%$로 분석되었다. 또한, 전대수지법과 Stevens방법에 의한 고수위 연장은 도시하천 유역 규모에 비하여 수위에 따른 홍수량이 과대 산정되는 문제점이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 마지막으로, MCS에 의한 다량의 수문자료군 확보를 통한 수위-유량 관계곡선의 연장방법은 고수위에 대한 불확실성을 감소시켜며, 보다 신뢰성 있는 고수위 연장이 가능하였다. 향후 본 연구의 결과는 MCS에 의한 고수위 연장 시스템 구축을 통한 도시하천유역의 실시간 홍수 예 경보 활용에 적용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

최근 표준한국인 성인남녀 복셀 팬텀 한 쌍인 High-Definition Reference Korean-Man (HDRK-Man)과 High-Definition Reference Korean-Woman (HDRK-Woman)을 개발한 바 있다. HDRK-Man과 HDRK-Woman은 각각 한국인 성인 남성과 여성을 대표하므로 이들을 이용하면 한국인 고유의 유효선량을 계산할 수 있다. 이러한 한국인 고유의 유효선량을 계산하기 위해서는 표준한국인 팬텀을 이용한 몬테칼로 선량계산을 수행하여야 한다. 하지만 이러한 몬테칼로 선량계산은 전산인체모델에 대한 이해와 고도의 몬테칼로 전산모사 기술이 요구되기 때문에 몬테칼로 전산모사 경험이 적은 연구자들에게는 접근성이 용이하지 않다. 최근 UFPE (Federal University of Pernambuco) 연구팀에서는 몬테칼로 선량계산 온라인 시스템인 CALDOSE_X를 운영하고 있다. CALDOSE_X는 사용자가 온라인상에서 직접 입력한 선원조건에 따라 곧바로 몬테칼로 선량계산을 수행하고 계산된 결과를 제공해주는 온라인 서비스이다. 따라서 CALDOSE_X를 이용하면 몬테칼로 전산모사 경험 없이도 누구나 쉽게 원하는 선원조건에 대한 선량계산을 수행할 수 있다. 하지만 CALDOSE_X에서 제공하는 선량값은 서양인 전산팬텀을 이용하기 때문에, 이를 한국인 종사자에 대한 방사선 방호목적으로 사용하기에는 여전히 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 온라인상에서 사용자가 입력한 선원조건에 따라 실시간으로 표준 한국인에 대한 유효선량을 계산할 수 있는 웹 기반 표준한국인 선량평가 시스템을 구축하였다.
