This paper is for accurately simulating the breakdown of MHEMTs with an InP-etchstop layer. 2D-Hydrodynamic simulation parameters are investigated and calibrated for the InP-epitaxy layer. With these calibrated parameters, simulations are performed and analyzed for the breakdown of devices with an InP-etchstop layer. In the paper, the impact-ionization coefficients, the mobility degradation due to doping concentration, and the saturation velocity for InP-epitaxy layer are newly calibrated for more accurate breakdown simulation.

In this paper, the dynamic response of a piezoelectric layer with a penny-shaped crack is investigated. The piezoelectric layer is subjected to an axisymmetrical action of both mechanical and electrical impacts. Two kinds of crack surface conditions, i.e., electrically impermeable and electrically permeable, are adopted. Based upon integral transform technique, the crack boundary value problem is reduced to a system of Fredholm integral equations in the Laplace transform domain. By making use of numerical Laplace inversion the time-dependent dynamic stress and electric displacement intensity factors are obtained, and the dynamic energy release rate is further derived. Numerical results are plotted to show the effects of both the piezoelectric layer thickness and the electrical impact loadings on the dynamic fracture behaviors of the crack tips.

A circular plate with constant thickness, finite radius and stiff edge lying on an elastic halfspace is considered. The half-space consists of a soft functionally graded (FGM) layer with arbitrary varying elastic properties and a homogeneous elastic substrate. The plate bends under the action of arbitrary axisymmetric distributed load and response from the elastic half-space. A semi-analytical solution for the problem effective in whole range of geometric (relative layer thickness) and mechanical (elastic properties of coating and substrate, stiffness of the plate) properties is constructed using the bilateral asymptotic method (Aizikovich et al. 2009). Approximated analytical expressions for the contact stresses and deflections of the plate are provided. Numerical results showing the qualitative dependence of the solution from the initial parameters of the problem are obtained with high precision.

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of various fabrics in protecting from solar radiation and ultraviolet radiation(UV). Six kinds of fabrics were selected and examined in singles or doubles. It was studied how the materials and the thickness of air layer between the fabric and the floor affected the protection efficiency of fabrics from sunlight. The results were as followes; 1) Protection from solar radiation: In the case of over 2 cm air layer, doubled fabric composed of aluminum coating-nylon and white or black polyester/cotton(T/C) was the most protective(p<0.001). In the case of 0 cm air layer, the case without fabric and white T/C were more effective(p<0.001). And the thicker the air layer the more effective the protection. 2) Protection from UV : Doubled fabric composed of aluminum coating-nylon and black T/C was the most protective(p<0.001) and the thinner the air layer the more effective the protection(p<0.001).

We have investigated the effects of an Ag capping layer on the emission characteristics of transparent organic light-emitting devices with Ca/Ag double-layer cathodes. The thickness of the Ag layer was varied from 10 to 30 nm, whereas the Ca was fixed to be a 10 nm in the Ca/Ag structure. The luminance and current efficiency on the cathode and anode sides are significantly dependent on the Ag thickness. For example, the current efficiency on the anode side increases from 8.4 to 11.7 cd/A, whereas, on the cathode side, it decreases from 3.2 to 0.2 cd/A as the Ag thickness increases from 10 to 30 nm. These changes in emission characteristics were investigated by measuring electroluminescence, transmission, and reflection spectra.

Wetlandsis developing on the lava plateau in Eundae-ri, even though there are no majorstreams into this area. As a result of drilling, 1~2m clay layer is founded under the superficial formations of the wetland, which are the main reasons for formation of the wetlands by limiting vertical drainage. The clay layer's Granulometry/XRD show very different characteristics from in situ weathering of basalt, and since 2~3cm of sand layer exist within the profile, the clay layer seems to be supplied and deposited from outside through surface/sheet flows. To keep the wetlands sustainably, the supply of water into the wetlands has to be increased by restoring the surface/sheet flow which is limited or deformed by pavement road.

EUVL (Extreme Ultra Violet Lithography) is one of competitive lithographic technologies for sub-30nm fabrication of nano-scale Si devices that can possibly replace the conventional photolithography used to make today's microcircuits. Among the core EUVL technologies, mask fabrication is of considerable importance since the use of new reflective optics having a completely different configuration compared to those of conventional photolithography. Therefore new materials and new mask fabrication process are required for high performance EUVL mask fabrication. This study investigated the etching properties of SnO2 (Tin Oxide) as a new absorber material for EUVL binary mask. The EUVL mask structure used for etching is SnO2 (absorber layer) / Ru (capping / etch stop layer) / Mo-Si multilayer (reflective layer) / Si (substrate). Since the Ru etch stop layer should not be etched, infinitely high selectivity of SnO2 layer to Ru ESL is required. To obtain infinitely high etch selectivity and very low LER (line edge roughness) values, etch parameters of gas flow ratio, top electrode power, dc self - bias voltage (Vdc), and etch time were varied in inductively coupled Cl2/Ar plasmas. For certain process window, infinitely high etch selectivity of SnO2 to Ru ESL could be obtained by optimizing the process parameters. Etch characteristics were measured by on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. Detailed mechanisms for ultra-high etch selectivity will be discussed.

$Sr_xBa_{1-x}Nb_2O_6$(SBN, $025{\leq}x{\leq}0.75$) ceramic is a ferroelectric material with tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) type structure, which has a high pyroelectric coefficient and a nonlinear electro-optic coefficient value. In spite of its advantages, SBN has not been investigated well compared to other ferroelectric materials with perovskite structure. In this study, SBN thin film was manufactured by ion beam sputtering technique using the prepared SBN target in Ar/$O_2$ atmosphere. SBN30 thin film of 500 ${\AA}$ was pre-deposited as a seed layer on Pt(l00)/$TiO_2$/$SiO_2$/Si substrate followed by SBN60 deposition up to 4500 ${\AA}$ in thickness. SBN60/SBN30 layer was deposited at different Oxygen amount of 0, 8.1, 17, and 31.8 sccm, respectively. The crystallinity and orientation behavior as well as electric properties of SBN60/SBN30 multi-layer were examined. The deposited layer was uniform and the orientation was shown primarily along (001) plane from XRD pattern. The crystal structure and the electric properties depended on the Oxygen amount, heating temperature and was the best at O2 = 8.1 seem, $750^{\circ}C$. In electric properties of Pt/SBN60/SBN30/Pt thin film capacitor prepared, the remnant polarization (2Pr) value was 13 ${\mu}C/cm^2$, the coercive field (Ec) 75 kV/cm, and the dielectric constant 1492, respectively.

In order to manufacture 2-layer flexible copper clad laminate (FCCL) s having the excellent performance high adhesion properties between copper foil and polyimide film are required. Silane coupling agents with specific functional groups as an adhesion promoter are generally used to enhance the adhesion. In our study, we synthesized a novel silane coupling agent for increasing the adhesive property between copper layer and polyimide layer. The surface morphology of rolled copper foil, as a function of the concentrations of the coated silane coupling agent, was fully characterized. As fabricated 2-layer FCCL, we observed that adhesive properties were changed by the surface morphology and we confirmed that the novel silane coupling agent affects adhesive properties in FCCL with two types of poly (amic acid)s.
