본 논문은 클록 보정회로를 가진 1V 2.56-GS/s 6-bit flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 제안한다. 제안하는 ADC 구조에서 아날로그 블록은 단일 T/H와 2단의 프리앰프, 그리고 비교기를 사용된다. 2단의 프리앰프와 비교기의 출력에 옵셋의 크기를 줄이기 위하여 저항 평균화 기법을 적용하였다. 디지털 블록은 quasi-gray rom base 구조를 사용한다. 3입력 voting 회로로 flash ADC에서 발생하기 쉬운 bubble error를 제거하였으며, 고속 동작을 위해 단일 클록을 사용하는 TSPC F/F로 구현한다. 제안하는 flash ADC는 클록 듀티 비를 조절할 수 있는 클록 보정회로를 사용한다. 클록 보정 회로는 비교기 클록 듀티 비를 조절하여 리셋 시간과 evaluation 시간의 비율을 최적화함으로 dynamic 특성을 확보한다. 제안한 flash ADC는 1V 90nm의 CMOS 공정에서 설계되었다. Full power bandwidth인 1.2 GHz 입력에 대하여 ADC 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다. 설계된 flash ADC의 면적과 전력소모는 각각 $800{\times}400\;{\mu}m^2$와 193.02mW 이다.

3차원 패키징 System In Package (SIP)구조에서 Chip to Chip 단위 Interconnection 역할을 하는 Through Silicon Via(TSV)를 형성하기 위하여 Pulsating RF bias가 장착된 Inductively Coupled Plasma Etcher 장비를 이용하였다. 이 Pulsating 플라즈마 공정 방법은 주기적인 펄스($50{\sim}500Hz$)와 듀티($20{\sim}99%$) cycle 조절이 가능하며, 플라즈마 에칭특성에 영향을 주는 플라즈마즈마 발생 On/Off타임을 조절할 수 있다. 예를 들면, 플라즈마 발생 Off일 경우에는 이온(SFx+, O+)과 래디컬(SF*, F*, O*)의 농도 및 활성도를 급격하게 줄이는 효과를 얻을 수가 있는데, 이러한 효과는 식각 에칭시, 이온폭격의 손상을 급격하게 줄일 수 있으며, 실리콘 표면과 래디컬의 화학적 반응을 조절하여 에칭 측벽 식각 보호막 (SiOxFy : Silicon- Oxy- Fluoride)을 형성하는데 영향을 미친다. 그리고, TSV 형성에 있어서 큰 문제점으로 지적되고 있는 언더컷과 수평에칭 (Horizontal etching)을 개선하기 위한 방법으로, Black-Siphenomenon을 이번 실험에 적용하였다. 이 Black-Si phenomenon은 Bare Si샘플을 이용하여, 언더컷(Undercut) 및 수평 에칭 (Horizontal etching)이 최소화 되는 공정 조건을 간편하게 평가 할 수 있는 방법으로써, 에칭 조건 및 비율을 최적화하는 데 효율적이었다. 결과적으로, Pulsating RF bias가 장착된 Inductively Coupled Plasma Etcher 장비를 이용한 에칭실험은 펄스 주파수($50{\sim}500Hz$)와 듀티($20{\sim}99%$) cycle 조절이 가능하여, 이온(SFx+, O+)과 래디컬(SF*, F*, O*)의 농도와 활성화를 조절 하는데 효과적이었으며, Through Silicon Via (TSV)를 형성 하는데 있어서 Black-Si phenomenon 적용은 기존의 Continuous 플라즈마 식각 결과보다 향상된 에칭 조건 및 에칭 프로파일 결과를 얻는데 효과적이었다.

The solenoid valve in ABS hydraulics, modulator is a two directional on-off valve and is controlled by around 100Hz high speed pulse width modulation. When the inlet valve is switched from open state to closed state, there are braking force degration, noise and vibration due to pressure surge phenomena in the hydraulic line and wheel cylinder. In this study, identifies pressure surge phenomenon in the braking process of a ABS, and investigates the way to reduce the phenomenon. For the purpose theoretical analysis on the pressure surge in the closed state hydraulic line, characteristic curve method based on wave equation was utilized. During this analysis, we could find pressure surge characteristics change due to hydraulic line change and PWM control conditions. In conclusion, by using the results of this study for the pressure surge prediction and reduction method, we could expect braking performance enhancement in Anti-Lock Braking System.

For the purpose of optimal control of anti-lock brake systems, precise dynamic characteristics analysis of hydraulic modulator, especially solenoid valve is necessary. However, most of researches so far have dealt with dynamic characteristic analysis of valve itself, and the results have been restrictively applied to the actual ABS modulator, where hydraulic pressure is acting. In this study, mathmatical modeling and experimental analysis were peformed in order to evaluate the valve dynamic characteristics when the hydraulic pressure is applied. High pressure on the master cylinder that affects on the valve dynamic characteristics have been analyzed quantitatively, and performance improvement methods have been suggested through parameter study. Consequently, results of solenoid valve dynamic characteristics analysis derived in the study can be utilized as criteria for the optimal control of anti-lock brake systems.

The solenoid valve in ABS hydraulic modulator is a two directional on-off valve and is controlled by around 100Hz high speed pulse width modulation. When the valve is switched from open state to closed state, noise and vibration due to pressure surge phenomena in the hydraulic line and wheel cylinder are made. In this study, we identify Pressure surge phenomenon in the braking process of a ABS, and investigate the way to reduce the phenomenon. For the purpose of theoretical analysis on the pressure surge in the closed state hydraulic line, characteristic curve method based on wave equation was utilized. To reduce the surge, high frequency control of 20kHz was attempted. The result showed that the surge pressure of 50% was reduced compared to one observed in the low frequency control. Duty variation of high frequency can control current of solenoid valve and prevent sudden change of displacement.

A study on the TiN coating layer in small holes on the Purpose of die-casting dies application has been performed with a PACVD process. For the hole having diameter of 4 mm. the uniform TiN coating layer in the hole to the depth of 20 mm was achieved using DC pulsed power source. To understand the forming mechanism of TiN coating layer, plasma diagnosis on Ti, $N_{2}^{+}$ and A $r^{+}$ emissions was carried out during plasma coaling process by optical emirssion spectroscopy. When the duty ratio was equal or over 50%, the Peaks of Ti,$ N_{2}^{+}$ and A $r^{+}$ emission were obviously observed. While duty ratio was equal or under 28.6%, no peaks for Ti, $N_{2}^{+}$ and A $r^$ were observed and the formation of TiN coating layer was rarely observed. For the coating in 4 mm hole diameter, the coating layer with bipolar process was two times deeper than that with unipolar process.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of 1)irradiation with several different ratios using red, green, and blue LEDs and 2)various pulsed light irradiation with 50% duty ratio using red and blue LEDs on the growth and morphogenesis of three lettuce cultivars (Lactuca sativar L. cv. 'Jukchukmeon', 'Lolo Rosa', and 'Grand Rapid') in hydroponics culture system for 4 weeks after transplanting. Seeds were sown in rock-wool plug trays and they were placed in a culture room which was controlled at $23{\pm}1^{\circ}C/18{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ temperature and 50-60/70-85% for day and night, respectively, during cultivation period. Irradiated RGB ratios with LEDs were 6:3:1, 5:2.5:2.5, 3:3:4, 2:2:6, and 1:1:8 with $110{\pm}3{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD on the surface of cultivation bed. The frequencies of pulsed lighting was 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 25,000Hz (20, 10, 0.1, 0.04 ms) with red and blue LEDs and 50% duty ratio. At the RGB ratio of 6:3:1, the average fresh weight of 'Jukchukmeon' was significantly higher than that of other RGB treatments, but no significant difference compared to the fluorescent treatment. The average fresh weight at 1:1:8 RGB ratio in 'Lolo Rosa' was significantly lower than that of other RGB treatments. Leaf number and fresh weight of 'Grand Rapid' were significantly lower in the control and 1:1:8 RGB treatments, compared to the other RGB treatments. As the ratio of blue light increased, leaf length decreased and leaf shape became round in three lettuces. Although there is little change in growth, it could not be found any tendency to affect the growth and morphogenesis of three lettuces caused by increasing or decreasing frequency of pulsed lighting with 50% duty ratio at the $72{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD.
