In this paper, the research results on monolithic three-dimensional integrated-circuit (M3DICs) stacked with tunneling field effect transistors (TFETs) are introduced. Unlike metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), TFETs are designed differently from the layout of symmetrical MOSFETs because the source and drain of TFET are asymmetrical. Various monolithic 3D inverter (M3D-INV) structures and layouts are possible due to the asymmetric structure, and among them, a simple inverter structure with the minimum metal layer is proposed. Using the proposed M3D-INV, this M3D logic gates such as NAND and NOR gates by sequentially stacking TFETs are proposed, respectively. The simulation results of voltage transfer characteristics of the proposed M3D logic gates are investigated using mixed-mode simulator of technology computer aided design (TCAD), and the operation of each logic circuit is verified. The cell area for each M3D logic gate is reduced by about 50% compared to one for the two-dimensional planar logic gates.

HMD, which is applied with the latest technology, minimizes motion sickness with high-resolution displays and fast motion recognition, and can accurately track location and motion. This can provide an environment where you can immerse yourself in a virtual three-dimensional space, and virtual reality contents such as disaster simulators and high-risk equipment learning spaces are developing using these characteristics. These advantages are also applicable in the field of basic science education. In particular, expanding the concepts of electric and magnetic fields in physics described by existing two-dimensional data into three-dimensional spaces and visualizing them in real time can greatly help improve learning understanding. In this paper, realistic physical education environments and contents based on three-dimensional virtual reality are developed and the developed learning contents are experienced by actual learning subjects to prove their effectiveness. A total of 46 middle school and college students were taught and experienced in real time the electric and magnetic fields expressed in three dimensions in a virtual reality environment. As a result of the survey, more than 85% of positive responses were obtained, and positive results were obtained that three-dimensional virtual space-based physical learning could be effectively applied.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of secondary task such as sending text message (STM) and searching navigation (SN) using the variable indicating control of vehicle ((Medial-Lateral Coefficient of Variation, MLCV), (Anterior-Posterior Coefficient of Variation, APCV)) and motion signal (Jerk-Cost function, JC). Participants included 50s taxi drivers; 14 males and 14 females. Participants were instructed to keep a certain distance (30m) from the car ahead with constant speed (80km/hr or 100km/hr). Experiement consisted of driving alone for 1minute and driving with secondary task for 1minute. Both MLCV and APCV were significantly increased during Driving + Sending Text Message(STM) and Driving + Searching Navigation(SN) than Driving only. Also, JC was increased during Driving + STM and Driving + SN than Driving only. In this study, we found that even in the experts group who are taxi driver and have 25 years driving experience, the smoothness of motion is decreased and the control of vehicle is disturbed when they were performing secondary tasks like sending text message or searching navigation.

It is possible but not efficient to model and simulate asynchronous microprocessors with the existing HDLs(HARDware Description Languages) such as VHDL or Verilog. The reason it that the description becomes too complex. and also the simulation time becomes too long to explore the design space. Therefore it is necessary to establish a methodology and develop a tool for modeling the handshake protocol of asynchronous microprocessors very easily and simulating it very fast. Under this objective an efficient CAD(Computer Aided Design) tool SLEDS(System Level Event-Driven Simulator) was developed which can evaluate performance of a processor through modeling with a simple description an simulating with event driven engine in the system level. The ultimate goal in the tool SLEDS is to fin the optimal conditions for a system to produce high performance by balancing the delay of each module in the system. Besides SLEDS aims at verifying the design through comparing the expected results with the actual ones by performing the defined behavior.

In the dissertation, a power conversion system for fuel cell is composed of a PWM inverter with LC filter in order to convert fuel cell voltage to a single phase 220[V]. In addition, new insulated DC-DC converters are proposed in order that fuel cell voltage is boosted to 380[V]. In this paper, it requires smaller components than existing converters, which makes easy control. The proposed DC-DC converter controls output power by the adjustment of phase-shift width using switch $S_5\;and\;S_6$ in the secondary switch which provides 93-97[%] efficiency in the wide range of output voltage. Fuel cell simulator is implemented to show similar output characteristics to actual fuel cell. Appropriate dead time td enables soft switching to the range where the peak value of excitation current in a high frequency transformer is in accordance with current in the primary circuit. Moreover, appropriate setting to serial inductance La reduces communication loss arisen at light-load generator and serge voltage arisen at a secondary switch and serial diode. Finally, TMS320C31 board and EPLD using PWM switching technique to act a single phase full-bridge inverter which is planed to make alternating current suitable for household

Software simulation has been widely used for the design and application development of a large-scale wireless sensor network. The degree of details of the simulation must be high to verify the behavior of the network and to estimate its execution time and power consumption of an application program as accurately as possible. But, as the degree of details becomes higher, the simulation time increases. Moreover, as the number of sensor nodes increases, the time tends to be extremely long. We propose an optimal-synchronous parallel discrete-event simulation method to shorten the time in a large-scale sensor network simulation. In this method, sensor nodes are partitioned into subsets, and each PC that is interconnected with others through a network is in charge of simulating one of the subsets. Results of experiments using the parallel simulator developed in this study show that, in the case of the large number of sensor nodes, the speedup tends to approach the square of the number of PCs participating in the simulation. In such a case, the ratio of the overhead due to parallel simulation to the total simulation time is so small that it can be ignored. Therefore, as long as PCs are available, the number of sensor nodes to be simulated is not limited. In addition, our parallel simulation environment can be constructed easily at the low cost because PCs interconnected through LAN are used without change.

Unlike a cellular network, a mobile ad hoc network(MANET) is constructed only by mobile nodes without access point. Mobile nodes in MANET operate with scarce resources and restricted battery. If battery of intermediate node is exhausted, overall network might be diverged. Therefore, power-aware is really important. An on-demand multipath routing protocol which is proposed to compensate for shortcoming of on-demand single path routing protocol can reduce mute discovery overhead because route discovery starts only when all routes are disconnected. AOMDV(Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector) which is on-demand multipath routing protocol based on AODV, reduces 40% of route discovery frequency. However, AOMDV have none of power-aware. So AOMDV have problem that route discovery for power exhaustion is not reduced at all. This paper proposes new power-aware path selection algorithm for AOMDV and scheme that broadcast REER packets when mobile node's battery can be gone. Performance comparison of proposed algorithm with AOMDV using ns-2 simulator shows that route discovery of proposed algorithm is reduced maximally 36.57% than AOMDV's.

We report on the simulation results of electrical/optical characteristics for nonpolar GaN LED having Mg-doped GaN spacer and quantum barrier, in comparison with those of the typical nonpolar GaN LED. In order to reduce the band-gap energy distortion and conduction-band discontinuity in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells(MQWs) of nonpolar GaN LED, and thereby to increase their current-voltage, light output power and emission peak intensity, we applied 6 nm-thick p-type($1{\times}10^{18}\;cm^{-3}$) GaN spacer and GaN QB schemes to the typical nonpolar GaN LED epitaxial structure. As a result, we found that the radiative recombination rate was increased by 23% in MQWs at 20 mA current injection. Also, the forward voltage($V_f$) and the light output power($P_{out}$) were improved by 3.7% and 7%, respectively, for the proposed nonpolar LED epitaxial structure, compared with those of the typical nonpolar GaN LED.
