In this paper, the authors present the simulation results and the experimental considerations on the effects of the effects of the VCO oscillation characteristics caused by varying the length of the MSL and the composition capacitance of LC resonation circuity. Simulation was accomplished by nonlinear RF circuit simulator for designing and analyzing the RF characteristis of VCO. The samples with 3 different MSL lengths of which the length is 140mil, 280mil and 560mil respectively were fabricated by screen printing process. The oscillation frequency of each sample(VCO) was tuned to UHF band (750MHz~900MHz) by varying the capacitance of LC resonator circuit. The experimental results showed that the values of phase noise were -82, -93, -97[dBc/Hz] at 50[kHz] offset frequency, the pushing figures were 114, 94, 318[kHz] at applied voltage of $3\pm0.15$[V] and the harmonics were -21, -16, -13[dBc] for MSL lengths of 140mil 280mil, 560mil respectively. The frequency and output variation width were 779~898[MHz], -36~-33[dBm] for MSL with 140mil length; 818~836[MHz], -27.19~27.06[dBm] for 280mil; 751.54~751.198[MHz], -33.44~-33.31[dBm] for 560mil.

Thin film technologies for fabricating SQUIDs involve etching and deposition procedures with the proper substrate materials and $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-d}$ (YBCO) as the high $T_c$ superconductor. YBCO were prepared on various substrates of MgO, $SrTiO_3$, and $LaAlO_3$ by using off-axis magnetron sputtering methods and annealing in-situ. The parameters of film fabrication processes had been optimized to yield good quality films in terms of the critical temperature $T_c$ and the critical current density $J_c$. The optimized processes yielded $T_C$>90K along with $J_c$>$10_6A$$extrm{cm}^2$ at 77K and>$2\times10_7A/Cm^2$ at 5K. We fabricated step-edge type dc-SQUIDs and directly coupled magnetometers, producing step edges on MgO(100) substrates by etching with Ar-ion beam, depositing YBCO material on them, then patterning them by using ion-milling technique. Circuitizing washer-shape SQUIDs to possess a pair of step-edge junctions of 2-5$\mu$ line width with a high angle>$50^{\circ}C$ , we examined their I-V characteristics thoroughly and Shapiro steps clearly as we irradiate microwaves of 8-20 GHz frequency.

In this paper, a dual-converter three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier based on unbalanced one-cycle control (OCC) strategy is proposed. The proposed rectifier is used to eliminate the second harmonic waves of DC voltage and distortion of line currents under unbalanced input grid voltage conditions. The dual-converter PWM rectifier employs two converters, which are called positive-sequence converter and negative-sequence converter. The unbalanced OCC system compensates feedback currents of positive-sequence converter via grid negative-sequence voltages, as well as compensates feedback currents of negative-sequence converter via grid positive-sequence voltages. The AC currents of positive- and negative-sequence converter are controlled to be symmetrical. Thus, the workload of every switching device of converter is balanced. Only one conventional PI controller is adopted to achieve invariant power control. Then, the parameter tuning is simplified, and the extraction for positive- and negative-sequence currents is not needed anymore. The effectiveness and the viability of the control strategy are demonstrated through detailed experimental verification.

Focused Ar ion laser beam can be utilized to fabricate microstructures on silicon substrate as well as other materials(e.g. such as ceramic). The laser using in this study is an argon ion laser with maximum power of 6 W, wavelength of 514 nm. This laser beam is focused by objectives with a high numerical aperture, a long working distance. We have achieved line width about 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with high scan speed. The resolution for Si machining is determined by the selectivity of the chemical reaction rather than the laser spot size. In this study, we have obtained the maximum etch rate of 434.7 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/sec with high aspect ratio. The characteristics of etched groove was investigated by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and auger electron spectroscopy(AES). It is assumed that the technique using arson ion laser is applicab1e to fabricate microstructures.

A bimetallic chip made of gold and silver was investigated in intensity interrogation mode to confirm enhancement of the SPR sensor resolution. Both reflectance curves of the bimetallic chip and the conventional gold chip was acquired and compared. The line width of the reflectance curve of the bimetallic chip was narrower than that of the conventional Au chip, resulting in steeper tangential slope. The reflectance was monitored at the angle related to the steepest tangential slope. The change in reflectance of the bimetallic chip was larger than that of the Au chip. The critical angle was analyzed by differentiating the reflectance with respect to incident angle twice. Acquiring the critical angle regarding to the sample informs the refractive index of the sample. Using various concentration of Bovine Serum Albumin, we confirmed that refractive index was linearly related to variation of reflectance of the bimetallic chip.

The characteristics of GaN epitaxial layers grown on silicon (111) substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy have been investigated. The only control of AlN thickness was found to decrease the stress sufficiently for avoiding crack formation in an overgrown thick ($2.6{\mu}m$) GaN layer. X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence measurements are used to determine the effect of AlN thickness on the strain in the subsequent GaN layers. Strong band edge photoluminescence of GaN on Si(111) was observed with a full width at half maximum of the bound exciton line as low as 17meV at 13K.

Standard crystalline solar cells are generally fabricated with the front grid pattern of silver paste contact. We have reported a detailed theoretical analysis of the proposed segmented cross grid line pattern in this paper. This work was carried out for the optimization of spacing and width of grid finger, main busbar and sub-busbar. The overall electrical and optical losses due to front contact were brought down to $10\%$ or even less as compared to the usual loss of $15\%$ or more in the conventional screen printed silver paste technology by choosing proper grid pattern and optimizing the grid parameters. The total normalized power loss for segmented mesh grid with plated metal contact was also observed and the total power loss could be brought down to $10.04\%$ unlike $11.57\%$ in the case of continuous grid and plated contact. This paper is able to outline the limitations of conventional screen printed contact.

Most tissue engineering strategies for creating functional replacement tissues or organs rely on the application of temporary three-dimensional scaffolds to guide the proliferation and spread of seeded cells in vitro and in vivo. Scaffolds should be satisfied following requirements; macrostructure to promote cell proliferation, pore interconnectivity, pore size ranging from 200 to $400{\mu}m$, surface chemistry and mechanical properties. Rapid prototyping techniques have often been used as an useful process that fabricates scaffolds with complex structures. In this study, a new process to fabricate a three-dimensional scaffolds using bio-compatible polymer has been developed. It employs a highly accurate three-dimensional positioning system with pressure-controlled syringe to deposit biopolymer structures. The pressure-activated microsyringe is equipped with fine-bore nozzles of various inner-diameters. In order to examine relationships between line width and process parameters such as nozzle height, applied pressure, and speed of needle, experiments were carried out. Based on the experimental results, three-dimensional scaffold was fabricated using the apparatus. It shows the validity of the proposed process.

Recent mold industry uses many roll-to-roll processes that can produce high production speed and precision machining and automation process. In the circular cylinder mold, however, patterns of less than $10{\mu}m$ are difficult to manufacture and maintain. In this study, we fabricated a circular cylindrical mold with a DLC thin film which have high hardness, low coefficient of friction and high releasability by using lithography and lift-off process. The height, line width, and pitch of the fabricated DLC macro pattern are $3.1{\mu}m$, $9.1{\mu}m$ and $20.2{\mu}m$, respectively. The pattern size is finer than the current applied to the aluminum cylinder type, and this shows the possibility of practical use of DLC micro pattern roll mold.
