Magnetostrictive sensors which can be used effectively to detect flaws in pipe were fabricated. The optimal conditions to obtain the maximum generation efficiency of the ultrasonic wave were established. In case of the used steel pipe the optimal magnetic field was $250{\sim}350Oe$ and the coil width of 15mm showed the best efficiency for generating a wave with the frequency of 180 kHz. In the best condition, the wave can propagate further than 50m without serious attenuation. The amplitude of the ultrasonic wave reflected from artificial flaw had a good linear relationship to the cross-sectional area of the flaw.

In this paepr, we consider resistive shorts on drain-source, drain-gate, and gate-source as well as opens in MOSFETs included in typical memory cell of VLSI SRAM. Behavior of memeory is observed by analyzing voltage at storage nodes of memeory and IDDQ(quiescent power supply current) through PSPICE simulation. Using this behavioral analysis, an effective testing algorithm of complexity O(N) which can be applied to both functional testing and IDDQ testing simultaeously is proposed. Built-In Self Test(BIST) circuit which detects faults in memories and Built-In Current Sensor(BICS) which monitors the power supply bus for abnormalities in quescent current are developed and imprlemented to improve the quality and efficiency of testing. Implemented BIST and BICS circuits can detect locations of faults and defects in order to repair faulty memories.

In this paper, it is proposed that JTAG fault injection environment and the results of the classification techniques that the reliability of embedded systems can be tested. As applying these, this is possible to quantitative analysis of vulnerable factor for system. The quantitative analysis for the degree of vulnerability of system is evaluated by faults errors, and failures classification schemes. When applying these schemes, it is possible to verify process and classify for fault that might occur in the system.

In order to increase the productivity in manufacturing TFT-LCD(thin film transistor-liquid crystal display), it is essential to classify defects that occur during the production and make an appropriate decision on whether the product with defects is scrapped or not. The decision mainly depends on classifying the defects accurately. In this paper, we present an effective classification method for film defects acquired in the panel production line by analyzing the intensity distribution and shape feature of the defects. We first generate a binary image for each defect by separating defect regions from background (non-defect) regions. Then, we extract various features from the defect regions such as the linearity of the defect, the intensity distribution, and the shape characteristics considering intensity, and construct a referential image database that stores those feature values. Finally, we determine the type of a defect by matching a defect image with a referential image in the database through the matching cost function between the two images. To verify the effectiveness of our method, we conducted a classification experiment using defect images acquired from real TFT-LCD production lines. Experimental results show that our method has achieved highly effective classification enough to be used in the production line.

This study was conducted to judge requalification of cylinders by assessing composite flaws such as scratches, cuts, and gouges damaging on the composite of Type III cylinders for compressed natural gas vehicles. As a result of the flaw tolerance test, all specimens have satisfied with minimum requirement cycles according to damage levels based on ISO 19078 and cyclic performance for pressure showed beyond twenty thousands in damage level 1 and 2, and did eighteen thousands to twenty-one thousands in damage level 3. Eight of twelve specimens failed the test due to composite flaws and the rest of the cylinders failed regardless of flaws. The results of Finite Element Method followed by the computer simulation indicated that the stress of 79.5 MPa calculated on the flaw model of $1.25\;mm{\times}200\;mm$ and the stress of 66.6 MPa on the non-flaw model when the service pressure applied to inside of cylinder. The difference between the models is about 19.37%. We concluded that this difference influences fatigue life and this flaw model is a critical value affecting cyclic performance of cylinders.

Defects in dissimilar metal welds are reported to be on the increase during the operating lifespan and aging of nuclear power plants. In Korea, reported cases of defects due to dissimilar metal welds include the drain nozzle of a steam generator and RCS hot tube sampling nozzles. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a reliable automated nondestructive inspection technique and a system for the inspection of dissimilar metal welds of small diameter nozzles in a high radiation area of a nuclear power plant. In this study, to ensure effective defect inspection of small diameter nozzles (RCS high-temperature tube sampling nozzle) of a nuclear power plant, three different methods were developed. These include: (1) optimum inspection probe design by beam simulation, (2) multi-directions UT optimum inspection technique for the inspection of small diameters of different welded parts, and (3) remote control automatic inspection system. The developed technique and systems have been verified to be suitable for use in the inspection of defects in smaller diameter nozzles in nuclear power plants.

For railway safety, it is very important to detect damages of rails at their early stage because any undetected damage in a rail can break the rail and cause a serious railway accident. In this paper, several NDT applicable to rail inspections are described. Major damage types in rails are discussed first and the rail inspection technology using conventional piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers, which is widely adopted for damage detection of rails, is explained. Other NDT being researched or tested for rail inspection are also discussed as complementary technologies to the concurrent contact type ultrasonic inspection. Characteristics of each rail inspection technologies are evaluated in order to provide requirements for future development of a new rail inspection method.

아연코팅강판의 레이저 용접시 발생하는 용접결함은 이미 널리 알려진 이슈이다. 그러나 대부분의 연구가 박판을 중심으로 이루어지고 있어서, 후판을 중심으로 한 조선산업에서의 아연코팅 강판의 연구는 매우 미진한 실정이다. 이중 후판 아연코팅강판의 결함검출연구는 그 연구가 거의 전무한 실정으로, 본 연구에서는 후판 아연코팅강판의 레이저 겹치기용접시의 결함검출을 중심으로 실험을 실시하였다. 실험은 Fig. 1에서와 같이 광신호와 음향신호의 RMS를 통하여 raw signal에서 잘 나타나지 않았던 신호의 패턴을 확인함으로써 실제 신호와 비드와를 대응을 가능하게 하였다. 또한 결함 발생시의 RMS값을 건전한 상태와 비교분석하여 실제 결함검출의 가능성도 확인할 수 있었다.

실리콘 관통전극 (Through Silicon Via, TSV)는 메모리 칩을 적층하여 고밀도의 집적회로를 구현하는 기술로, 기존의 와이어 본딩 (Wire bonding) 기술보다 낮은 소비전력과 빠른 속도가 특징인 3차원 집적기술 중 하나이다. TSV는 일반적으로 도금 공정을 통하여 충전되는데, 고종횡비의 TSV에 결함 없이 구리를 충전하기 위해서 3종의 유기첨가제(억제제, 가속제, 평탄제)가 도금액에 첨가되어야 한다. 이러한 첨가제 중 결함 발생유무에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 첨가제는 평탄제이기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 이미다졸(imidazole) 계열, 이민(imine) 계열, 디아조늄(diazonium) 계열 및 피롤리돈(pyrrolidone) 계열과 같은 평탄제(leveler)의 작용기에 따라 TSV 충전 성능을 조사하였다. TSV 충전 시 관능기의 거동을 규명하기 위해 QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) 및 EQCM (electrochemical QCM)을 사용하여 흡착 정도를 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 디아조늄 계열의 평탄제는 TSV를 결함 없이 충전하였지만 다른 작용기를 갖는 평탄제는 TSV 내 결함이 발생하였다. QCM 분석에서 디아조늄 계열의 평탄제는 낮은 흡착률을 보이지만 EQCM 분석에서는 높은 흡착률을 나타내었다. 즉, 디아조늄 계열의 평탄제는 전기 도금 동안 전류밀도가 집중되는 TSV의 상부 모서리에서 국부적인 흡착을 선호하며 이로 인하여 무결함 충전이 달성된다고 추론할 수 있다.
