This paper describes acceleration tests for reliability of semiconductors. It also describes AEC-Q100, international test standard for reliability of automotive semiconductors. Semiconductors can be used for dozens of years. So acceleration tests are essential to test potential problems over whole period of product where test time is minimized by applying intensive stresses. AEC-Q100 is a typical acceleration test in automotive semiconductors, and it is designed to find various failures in semiconductors and to analyze their causes of occurance. So it finds many problems in design and fabrication as well as it predicts lifetime and reliability of semiconductors. AEC-Q100 consists of 7 test groups such as accelerated environmental stress tests, accelerated lifetime simulation tests, package assembly integrity tests, die fabrication reliability tests, electrical verification tests, defect screening tests, and cavity package integrity tests. It has 4 grades from grade 0 to grade 3 based on operational temperature. AEC-Q101, Q102, Q103, Q104, and Q200 are applied to discrete semiconductors, optoelectronic semiconductors, sensors, multichip modules, and passive components, respectively.

In this paper, the proposed shallow trench isolation structures for high threshold voltage for very large scale and ultra high voltage integrated circuits MOSFET were simulated. Physically based models of hot-carrier stress and dielectric enhanced field of thermal damage have been incorporated into a TCAD tool with the aim of investigating the electrical degradation in integrated devices over an extended range of stress biases and ambient temperatures. As a simulation results, shallow trench structure were intended to be electric functions of passive, as device dimensions shrink, the electrical characteristics influence of proposed STI structures on the transistor applications become stronger the potential difference electric field and saturation threshold voltage.

The NDK1 is an ubiquitous enzyme that transfer phosphate groups from triphosphate nucleoside diphosphates(NDPs) in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. We isolated and characterized a cDNA encoding a nucleoside diphosphate kinase 1(CNDK 1) in Codonopsis lanceolata. The CNDK 1 is 444bp long and open reading frame of 447bp with a deduced amino acid of 148 residue. The CNDK 1 has an ATP binding site in 12­16 residue and phosphohistidine intermediate in 115 residue of amino acid sequence. Although several NDK 1 genes have been cloned in plants, but little is known about the functional significance of this enzyme during plant growth and development. The CNDK 1 shows the identities to Arabidopsis thaliana (71％), Oryza sativa(75％), Glycine max (79％), Brassica rapa (77％), Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (85 ％), Spinacia oleracea (83％), Pisum sativum (82％). The CNDK 1 of C. laceolata have a closer relationship of Glycine max and Pisum sativum at the phylogenic analysis.

This study conducted a questionnaire survey of 320 security guards to investigate the effects of job stress and job exhaustion on job performance according to the bodyguard's organizational culture. The conclusions obtained through this study are as follows. First, in the organizational culture, the innovation culture was found to have a negative effect on the job stress at the .01 level. Second, organizational culture was found to have no direct effect on job performance. Third, among organizational cultures, market culture was found to have a statistically negative effect on job performance at the .01 level. Fourth, job stress was found to affect job performance statistically as a negative (-) at .001 level. Fifth, job exhaustion was found to affect job performance statistically as negative (-) at .001 level. Sixth, job stress was found to have a mediating effect as negative (-) at the .01 level statistically in relation to the innovation culture of organizational culture and job performance. Seventh, job exhaustion was found to have no statistically significant effect on the relationship between organizational culture and job performance.

초전도 케이블은 저손실 대용량 전력수송이 가능한 전력케이블로서 대도시의 전력 공급문제를 해결할 수 있는 환경 친화적 신개념의 전력케이블이다. 한전 전력연구원 고창전력시험센터에서는 2006년에 22.9 kV, 100 m, 50 MVA급 초전도케이블 시스템을 설치하여 초전도케이블 실용화를 위한 신뢰성 시험을 실시하고 있다. 전력케이블의 주요한 신뢰성 요인 중의 하나가 절연특성이며 초전도케이블의 절연특성은 운전온도가 액체질소 온도이므로 절연지에 수분이 고화하여 일반적인 전력케이블보다 좋은 절연특성을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 초전도 케이블은 절연지와 액체질소에 의해 절연이 이루어지며 열적, 기계적, 전기적, 환경적 스트레스에 의해 열화가 발생할 수 있다. 절연층에 이러한 스트레스가 누적되면서 void가 발생하게 되고 전계집중 현상에 의해 절연성능이 저하되며 과다한 열화의 발생시 절연파괴가 일어나게 된다. 온 발표에서는 운전온도 66.4 K에서 1.5 $U_0$ (20 kV) 전압의 30일간 연속 인가 시험과 초전도 케이블의 절연열화 가속시험을 통하여 얻은 부분방전 및 정전용량의 변화 등의 절연특성 평가 결과에 대해 논의한다.

The EPDM(ethylene-propylene diene monomer) rubbers used for manufacturing engine radiator hoses can be degraded by locally generated electrical stress in addition to thermal and mechanical stresses. This study presents an accelerated life prediction of the EPDM rubber under electrochemical stresses using the Arrhenius formula under various aging temperatures($60^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$, and $100^{\circ}C$). The modified life prediction formula considers the relationship between the gradient($E_a/R$) and the Arrhenius constant(C). The effects of tensile strain(5%, 10%) on the life of these rubbers were investigated. The aging temperature influences EPDM rubber life, and tensile strain was predicted. It was confirmed that the modified life prediction was within the data deviation level of the test.

캐패시터, 인덕터 등의 전자부품들은 적층기술 및 표면 실장 기술 등을 이용하여 적층형 칩형태로 제작되고 있다. 적층형 칩형태의 전자부품들은 전자기적 특성을 부여하는 세라믹스와 전극역할을 하는 금속으로 구성되어 있으며, 전극 부분은 크게 내부전극과 외부전극으로 구분된다. 고장이 발생하게 되면 고장의 형태를 의미하는 고장모드(failure mode)와 제품을 고장에 이르게하는 물리, 화학적, 기계적 과정을 의미하는 고장기구(failure mechanism)을 조사하게 된다. 전자부품에서 고장이 발생하였을 경우, 1차적인 분석대상은 전극재인데 전극재에 기인한 고장으로는 세라믹스와 전극재 사이의 열팽창계수 차이에 기인한 박리현상(Delamination), 인쇄불량에 의한 단락 및 두께 불량, 세라믹스와 전극재 사이의 반응, 산화에 의한 부식 등이 있다. 이러한 고장은 급격한 주위 환경의 변화에 의한 것보다는 일정수준의 스트레스가 축적되어 발생하며, 수명을 예측하기 위해서는 고장의 원인을 규명하고 그 원인에 의한 가속 시험을 수행하는 것이 일반적인 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 Ag 외부 전극재의 수명을 예측하고자 가속시험을 수행하였고, 고장 분석 통하여 Ag외부 전극재의 특성 및 문제점 등을 정확히 파악하기 위한 연구를 하였다.

Isolated stress fracture of the first rib is rare, and repeated muscular pulling and fatigue of bone is thought to be responsible for this fracture. The diagnosis can be made by taking a thorough history and performing chest roentgenography, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Conservative treatment generally cures this condition. We report here on a case of exercise-induced isolated stress fracture of the first rib in a non-athlete college student and we review the related articles.

This study was carried out to quantify the drought stress in grafted watermelon seedlings non-destructively by using chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) imaging technique rather than the visual judgment. Six-day old watermelon seedlings were grown under uniform irrigation for 3 days, and then given drought stress. Afterward, the sensor for the measurement of water content in plug tray cell unit was used to classify the drought-stress level into nine groups from D1 (53.0%, sufficient moisture state) to D9 (15.7%, extremely dry stress), and the 16 CF parameters were measured. In addition, re-irrigation was performed on the drought stressed seedlings(D5 - D9) to determine the growth and photosynthesis recovery level, which was not confirmed by visual judgment. The kinetic curve patterns of CF in three different drought stressed seedling groups were found to be different for the early detection of drought stress. All the 16 CF parameters decreased continuously with exposure to drought stress and drastically decreased from D5 (32.1%) where the visual judgment was possible. The fluorescence decline ratio (Rfd_Lss) started to decrease from the initial drought stress level (D5 - D6), and the Maximum PSII quantum yield (Fv/Fm) was significantly decreased in the later extreme drought stress range (D7 - D9) by re-irrigation recovery test. Thus, Rfd_Lss and Fv/Fm parameters were finally selected as potent indicators of growth and photosynthesis recovery in the initial and later stages of drought stress. Also, to the differences in the numerical values of the individual chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, the drought stress level was intuitively confirmed through the image. These results indicate that Rfd and Fv/Fm can be considered as potential CF parameters for the detection of low and extremely high drought stress, respectively. Furthermore, Fv/Fm can be considered as the best CF parameters for recovery at re-irrigation.
