  • 최근 널리 사용되는 Solid State Drive(SSD), embedded Multi Media Card(eMMC) 등의 플래시 저장장치는 사용자 요구에 의해 점점 그 용량이 증대되고 있다. 플래시 저장장치 내부의 Flash Translation Layer(FTL)은 전원 유실 등의 크래시 상황에서 전체 플래시 영역을 대상으로 복구하는 동작을 하게 되는데, 저장장치의 고용량 화로 인해 그 시간이 길어지는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 저장장치 용량에 비례하지 않도록 O(1) 크래시 복구 수행 시간을 갖는 O1FTL을 제안한다. 이를 위해 본 연구팀은 기존에 플래시 파일 시스템에서 제안된 작업 영역 기법을 FTL에 적용하고 실제 하드웨어 플랫폼에 구현하였다. 실험 결과, 다양한 용량에 대해 유사한 복구 시간을 달성함을 보였으며, I/O 성능, 수명에 대해서는 대단히 적은 오버헤드를 요구하는 것을 검증하였다.

  • 결정질 태양전지는 상대적으로 고효율이 보장되며, 낮은 공정 비용 등의 이유로 널리 사용되고 있는 기술이다. 결정질 태양전지의 효율을 증가시키는 공정 방법에는 표면 구조화, 도핑 농도, 반사방지막, 금속전극 형성 등이 있다. 특히, 도핑 공정에서 도핑 농도를 변화시킬 수 있으며, 이에 의하여 면 저항값을 변화 시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 결정질 태양 전지에서 도핑 농도의 조절에 의한 이상적인 sheet resistance를 얻기 위한 실험을 진행하였다. 3개의 실험 set을 두고 각각의 경우를 실험하였다. 본 연구에서는 Pre-deposition과 drive-in 방법을 사용한 doping의 2가지 step으로 실험을 진행하였다. pre-deposition의 시간 condition은 21분으로 하였다. $N_2$ 분위기에서 $O_2$$POCl_3$ 의 비율을 각각 100sccm, 200sccm으로 하여 실험을 진행하였다. 변수인 온도의 경우는 각각의 set에 대하여, $830^{\circ}C$, $840^{\circ}C$, $850^{\circ}C$ 로 가변하였다. pre-deposition을 끝낸 뒤, sheet resistance의 값은 각각 $75{\sim}90\;\Omega/square$, $68{\sim}75\;\Omega/square$, $56{\sim}63\;\Omega/square$의 값을 나타내었다. 도핑의 경우에는 drive-in 방법을 사용하였으며, 모든 경우에서 20분에서 $890^{\circ}C$에서 진행하였다. 최종 sheet resistance의 값은 각각의 경우 최대 $33\;\Omega/square$, $34\;\Omega/square$, $30\;\Omega/square$의 값을 나타내었다. $40{\sim}45\;\Omega/square$ 정도의 sheet resistance가 많은 연구에서 이상적인 sheet resistance로 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서 두 번째 조건이 이상적인 sheet resistance에 가장 접근 하였음을 확인 할 수 있다.

  • Two trials were conducted to investigate the effect of decreasing the crude protein (CP) content of diets for finishing pigs containing two levels of available lysine on nutrient digestibility, nitrogen (N) balance and production performance. Ten finishing diets containing five levels of CP (on average 144, 155, 168, 182 and 193 g/kg fresh basis) and two levels of available lysine (6.9 and 8.2 g/kg fresh basis) were formulated. The diets were offered to pigs on a performance trial (n = 800 Large White (LW)${\times}$Landrace (LR) pigs) from 10 wk of age until finish at 21 wks+5 d of age. Average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were calculated. In addition, a digestibility/N balance trial was conducted using pigs (n = 80 $LW{\times}LR$) housed in metabolism crates. Digestibility of dry matter (DM), CP, oil, fibre and energy was determined. N balance values were determined through analysis of N content of urine and faeces ('as determined'). N balance values were also calculated using ADG values and assuming that 16% of growth is protein deposition ("as calculated"). Pig performance was poor between 10 and 13 wk of age which indicated that the dietary treatments were nutritionally inadequate for pigs less than 40 kg. There was a significant (p<0.01) quadratic effect of increasing CP level on feed intake, ADG and FCR from 10 to 13 wk which indicated that the lower CP levels did not supply adequate levels of essential or non-essential amino acids. There was no effect of increasing available lysine level throughout the early period, which in conjunction with the response in older pigs, suggested that both 8.2 and 6.9 g/kg available lysine were insufficient to drive optimum growth. There was a positive response (p<0.05) to increasing available lysine level from 13 wk to finish which indicated that 6.9 g/kg available lysine was not adequate for finishing pigs. Energy digestibility decreased with decreasing CP level of diets containing 6.9 g/kg available lysine which may be attributed to the higher fibre content of the lower CP diets. Nitrogen excretion (g/d) was lowered when dietary CP was reduced regardless of whether the values were determined through balance or calculated using ADG. Calculated N excretion decreased linearly (p<0.001) and quadratically (p<0.001) with decreasing dietary CP content. When the N balance figures calculated in this study were compared with those quoted in the Northern Ireland and English Nitrates Directive Action Programmes, N excretion was less per pig (wean to finish) offered a 169 g/kg CP, 8.2 g/kg available lysine diet (2.39 kg vs 3.41 kg (Northern Ireland) and 2.93 kg (England)).

  • It has been suggested that the bush warbler (Cettia diphone borealis) uses different song types in various situations. We analyzed song features and conducted playback experiments in order to reveal the function of songs of the bush warbler. Two song types were identified. The short song type has a shorter song duration than that of normal song types and consists of only one or two syllables. Due to its short syllable and low amplitude of the whistle portion, we were able to discriminate the short song type (S song type). from the normal song type (N song Type). In the playback experiments, bush warblers sang high rates of short song type for the first three minutes after playback. After 6 minutes of playback, males changed to singing normal songs. These results suggest that the short song of the bush warbler may function to threaten or drive off intruding males.

  • 낸드 플래시 메모리에서 가비지 콜렉션은 블록의 유효한 데이터들을 새로운 블록으로 옮기고 오래된 블록을 지우는 과정이다. 가비지 콜렉션에 의해 옮겨지는 페이지들은 작업의 양과 형태에 따라 오랫동안 유효한 페이지로 존재하기도 하고 그렇지 않은 경우도 있다. 본 논문에서는 반도체 디스크(Solid State Drive, 이하 SSD)에서 가비지 콜렉션이 비효율적으로 일어나는 경우를 정의하고 비효율적 가비지 콜렉션 과정으로 인한 비용을 줄이는 캐시 방출 기법을 소개한다. 이 기법을 시뮬레이션 해본 결과 작업 형태가 순차적일 때 LRU 캐시 알고리즘과 같이 사용되면 가비지 콜렉션에 의해 옮겨지는 페이지를 12%, 전체 쓰기 연산 횟수를 9%까지 줄일 수 있었고 블록 단위 LRU 알고리즘과 사용했을 때도 보다 좋은 성능을 보였다.

  • CdS thin film was prepared on glass substrate by chemical bath deposition in an alkaline solution. The optical properties of CdS thin film were investigated using spectroscopic ellipsometry. The real (${\varepsilon}_1$) and imaginary (${\varepsilon}_2$) parts of the complex dielectric function ${\varepsilon}(E)={\varepsilon}_1(E)+i{\varepsilon}_2(E)$, the refractive index n(E), and the extinction coefficient k(E) of CdS thin film were obtained from spectroscopic ellipsometry. The normal-incidence reflectivity R(E) and absorption coefficient ${\alpha}(E)$ of CdS thin film were obtained using the refractive index and extinction coefficient. The critical points $E_0$ and $E_1$ of CdS thin film were shown in spectra of the dielectric function and optical constants of refractive index, extinction coefficient, normal-incidence reflectivity, and absorption coefficient. The dispersion of refractive index was analyzed by the Wemple-DiDomenico single-oscillator model.

  • This paper demonstrates the performance of a metal-substrate power module with multiple fabricated chips for a high current electrical application, and evaluates the proposed module using a 1.5-kW sinusoidal brushless direct current (BLDC) motor. Specifically, the power module has a hybrid structure employing a single-layer heat-sink extensible metal board (Al board). A fabricated motor driver IC and trench gate DMOSFET (TDMOSFET) are implemented on the Al board, and the proper heat-sink size was designed under the operating conditions. The fabricated motor driver IC mainly operates as a speed controller under various load conditions, and as a multi-phase gate driver using an N-ch silicon MOSFET high-side drive scheme. A fabricated power TDMOSFET is also included in the fabricated power module for three-phase inverter operation. Using this proposed module, a BLDC motor is operated and evaluated under various pulse load tests, and our module is compared with a commercial MOSFET module in terms of the system efficiency and input current.

  • This paper is a study on the fuzzy force control of a miniature gripper driven by piezoelectric bimorph actuator. The system is composed of two flexible cantilevers, a stepping motor, a laser displacement transducer and two semiconductor force sensors attached to the beams. Obtained results show that the present artificial finger system works well as a miniature gripper, which produces approximately 0.06N force in the maximum. Further, the fuzzy position/force control algorithm is applied to the soft-handing gripper for stable grasping of a object. It revealed that the fuzzy rule-based controller be efficient controller for the stable drive of the flexible miniature gripper. It also showed that two semiconductor strain gauges located in the flexible beam play an important roles for force control, position control and vibration suppression control.

  • In the present work three dimensional process and device simulations were employed to study the performance variations with RTA. It is observed that with the increase in RTA temperature, the arsenic dopants from the source /drain region diffuse laterally under the spacer region and simultaneously acceptors (Boron) are redistributed from the central axis region of the fin towards the Si/SiO2 interface. As a consequence both drive current and peak cut-off frequency of an n-FinFET are observed to improve with RTA temperatures. Volume inversion and hence the flow of carries through the central axis region of the fin due to reduced scattering was found behind the performance improvements with increasing RTA temperature.

  • This paper presents a low power ${\Sigma}{\Delta}$ modulator for an implantable chip to acquire a bio-signal such as EEG, DBS, and EMG. In order to reduce a power consumption of the proposed fourth order modulator, two op-amps utilized for the first two integrators are reconfigured to drive the second two integrators. The KT/C noise reduction circuit in the first two integrators is employed to enhance SNR of the modulator. The proposed circuit was fabricated in a 0.18 um CMOS n-well 1 poly 6 metal process with the active chip core area of $900um{\times}800um$ and the power consumption of 830 uW. Measurement results were demonstrated to be SNDR of 76 dB, DR of 77 dB, ENOB of 12.3 bit at the input frequency of 250 Hz and the clock frequency of 256 kHz. FOM1 and FOM2 were measured to be 41 pJ/step and 142.4 dB, respectively.
