The semiconductor fabrication process is complex and time-consuming. There are sometimes errors in the process, which results in defective die on the wafer bin map (WBM). We can detect the faulty WBM by finding some patterns caused by dies. When one manually seeks the failure on WBM, it takes a long time due to the enormous number of WBMs. We suggest a two-step approach to discover the probable pattern on the WBMs in this paper. The first step is to separate the normal WBMs from the defective WBMs. We adapt a hierarchical clustering for de-noising, which nicely performs this work by wisely tuning the number of minimum points and the cutting height. Once declared as a faulty WBM, then it moves to the next step. In the second step, we classify the patterns among the defective WBMs. For this purpose, we extract features from the WBM. Then machine learning algorithm classifies the pattern. We use a real WBM data set (WM-811K) released by Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company.

With the aggressive down-scaling of advanced integrated circuits (ICs), electronic packages have become the bottleneck of both reliability and performance of whole electronic systems. In order to resolve the reliability issues, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) laid down a roadmap on fault detection and diagnosis (FDD), thrusting the digital twin: a combination of reliability physics and artificial intelligence (AI). In this paper, we especially review research works regarding the signal-based FDD approaches on the electronic packages. We also discuss the research trend of FDD utilizing AI techniques.

본 논문에서는 카메라의 포커싱과 아웃포커싱에 의해 이미지에서 뿌옇게 표현되는 DoF(Depth of field, 피사계 심도) 영역을 쿼드트리(Quadtree) 기반의 합성곱 신경망을 통해 빠르게 찾는 방법을 제안한다. 우리의 접근 방식은 RGB채널기반의 상호-상관 필터를 이용하여 DoF영역을 이미지로부터 효율적으로 분류하고, 적응형 트리인 쿼드트리를 기반으로 유의미한 영역만을 분류한다. 이 과정에서 손실 없이 온전하게 DoF영역을 추출하기 위한 필터링 과정을 거친다. 이러한 과정에서 얻어진 이미지 패치들은 전체 이미지에 비해 적은 영역으로 나타나며, 이 적은 개수의 패치들을 이용하여 네트워크 단계에서 사용할 이미지-DoF가중치 맵 데이터 쌍을 설정한다. 네트워크 과정에서 학습할 때 사용되는 데이터는 이미지와 상호-상관 필터 기반으로 추출된 DoF 가중치 맵을 이용한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 쿼드트리 기반 합성곱 신경망은 이미지로부터 포커싱과 아웃포커싱된 DoF영역을 자동으로 추출하는 과정을 학습시키기 위해 사용된다. 결과적으로 학습에 필요한 데이터 영역이 줄어듦으로써 학습 시간과 메모리를 절약했으며, 테스트 결과로 얻은 DoF 가중치 이미지는 입력 이미지에서 DoF영역을 더욱더 빠른 시간 내에 찾아낸다.

Product Line Engineering(PLE) is one of the technologies that develop applications economically reusing core assets. PLE consists of Framework Engineering(FE) and Application Engineering. Framework Engineering is to develop core assets that have common functionality shared by a set of family members. Application Engineering is to develop a specific application by instantiating the core assets. The PLE process increases reusability and efficiency because a specific application is developed by using core assets with less time and effort. Since definition of PLE artifacts and relationship between artifacts are not clear. developers have several troubles to make artifacts based on PLE process, are difficult to maintain consistency between artifacts, and do not use PLE process more practically. In this paper, we define meta-models of artifacts that are produced in PLE activities of PLE process and describe the traceability relationship between artifacts by using traceability map and guidelines that can apply traceability relationship. Finally, we define the way how trace links and guidelines of traceability map are applied.

In this paper, we propose a construction technique of two-level composite gradient map to automatically track a face with large movement in successive frames. Our method is composed of three main steps. First, the gradient maps with two-level resolution are generated for fast convergence of active contour. Second, to recognize the variations of face between successive frames and remove the neighbor background, weighted composite gradient map is generated by combining the composite gradient map and difference mask of previous and current frames. Third, to prevent active contour from converging local minima, the energy slope is generated by using closing operation. In addition, the fast closing operation is proposed to accelerate the processing time of closing operation. For performance evaluation, we compare our method with previous active contour model-based face tracking methods using a visual inspection, robustness test and processing time. Experimental results show that our method can effectively track the face with large movement and robustly converge to the optimal position even in frames with complicated background.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is one of the key technologies that make it possible to provide u-service in a ubiquitous society, however, it has disadvantages such as difficulty of managing sensor nodes and weaknesses of stability or mobility in large-scale WSNs. In order to solve these problems, 6LoWPAN that integrates with WSNs and IP networks has been studied widely. In this paper, we propose a Location Tracking Service Based on Google Map (LTSGM) system using 6LoWPAN. Since LTSGM system provides visual location information of sensor nodes through Google Map, it is possible to makes it easier than ever to manage sensor nodes in large-scale WSNs. Moreover, LTSGM can be used for various services such as applications for disaster or crime because it can trace the location of mobile nodes. Implementation of LTSGM system will be a test platform for 6LoWPAN.

In this Paper, we Propose an automatic lung registration technique using local distance propagation for correcting the difference between two temporal images by a patient's movement in abdomen CT image obtained from the same patient to be taken at different time. The proposed method is composed of three steps. First, lung boundaries of two temporal volumes are extracted, and optimal bounding volumes including a lung are initially registered. Second, 3D distance map is generated from lung boundaries in the initially taken volume data by local distance propagation. Third, two images are registered where the distance between two surfaces is minimized by selective distance measure. In the experiment, we evaluate a speed and robustness using three patients' data by comparing chamfer-matching registration. Our proposed method shows that two volumes can be registered at optimal location rapidly. and robustly using selective distance measure on locally propagated 3D distance map.

USB bus not only works with convenience but also transmits data fast and becomes a standard peripheral interface between FPGA development board and personal computer. In this paper FPGA verification system with slave FIFO interface for Cypress FX3 USB 3 bridge chip was implemented. The designed slave FIFO interface consists of host interface module based on FIFO structure, master bus controller and command decoder and supports streaming communication interface for FX3 bridge chip and memory-mapped input and output interface for user design circuit. The ZestSC3 board with Cypress FX3 USB 3 bridge chip and Xilinx Artix FPGA(XC7A35T-1C5G3241) was used to implement FPGA verification system. It was verified that the FPGA verification system for user design circuit operated correctly under various clock frequencies using GUI software developed by visual C# and C++ DLL. The designed slave FIFO interface for FPGA verification system has modular structure and can be applicable to the different user designs with memory-mapped I/O interface.
