산업 및 가정용 기기들이 점차 복잡해짐에 따라 다양한 공학 분야의 해석 기술을 동시에 고려하면서 이들 원리를 적용한 최적의 설계를 결정하는 방법론의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 다분야통합최적설계 또는 MDO(Multidisciplinary Design Optimization)라 일컫는 새로운 기술은 이러한 필요에 대응하는 기술로서 국내외적으로 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 MDO 기술을 구현하는 소프트웨어와 하드웨어 복합 체계를 MDO 프레임웍(framework)이라 한다. 일반적으로 프레임웍이란 실제 응용프로그램의 용도에 맞는 주문제작(customization)이 가능한 일종의 전단계 프로그램이라 할 수 있다 MDO 프레임웍은 설계 및 해석 도구들간의 인터페이스를 제공하고, 이들 도구들이 사용하는 설계 데이터를 효율적으로 공유할 수 있도록 지원하여, 설계 작업을 정의, 실행, 관리하는 역할을 한다. 이러한 MDO 프레임웍은 설계 작업을 통합적으로 관리하고 자동화하여 설계 도구간의 데이터 전달과 변환에 소묘되는 설계자의 부담을 경감시키며 다분야 전문가가 참여하는 공통 작업 환경을 제공함으로써 설계 효율성을 증진시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 효용을 달성하기 위한 MDO 프레임웍(framework)을 제시하고 프레임웍 설계의 논리적 근저와 타당성을 밝힌다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 다분야 통합 최적화를 위한 분산형 지능 시스템인 DisMDO는 사용자가 GUI를 동해서 편리하게 다분야통합최적화 문제를 해결할 수 있도록 지원하며, 제공되는 스크립트 언어를 동해서도 이를 정의할 수 있도록 지원하여 일괄처리도 가능하도록 한다. 또한, 집중화된 데이터베이스를 관리하여 다분야 전문가들이 공통의 데이터를 안전하게 공유할 수 있도록 지원하며, 외부에서 제공되는 해석 도구나 최적화 모듈을 손쉽게 프레임웍에 통합시킬 수 있도록 하는 인터페이스 제작기(factory) 기능을 제공한다.ackscattering spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, secondary electron microscopy, atomic force microscoy, $\alpha$-step, Raman scattering spectroscopu, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy 및 micro hardness tester를 이용하여 기판 bias 전압이 DLC 박막의 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 분석결과 본 연구에서 제작된 DLC 박막은 탄소와 수소만으로 구성되어 있으며, 비정질 상태임을 알 수 있었다. 기판 bias 전압의 증가에 따라 박막의 두께가 감소됨을 알 수 있었고, -150V에서는 박막이 거의 만들어지지 않았으며, -200V에서는 기판 표면이 식각되었다. 이것은 기판 bias 전압과 ECR 플라즈마에 의한 이온충돌 효과 때문으로 판단되며, 150V 이하에서는 증착되는 양보다 re-sputtering 되는 양이 더 많을 것으로 생각된다. 기판 bias 전압을 증가시킬수록 플라즈마에 의한 이온충돌 현상이 두드러져 탄소와 결합하고 있던 수소원자들이 떨어져 나가는 탈수소화 (dehydrogenation) 현상을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이것은 C-H 결합에너지가 C-C 결합이나 C=C 결합보다 약하여 수소 원자가 비교적 해리가 잘되므로 이러한 현상이 일어난다고 판단된다. 결합이 끊어진 탄소 원자들은 다른 탄소원자들과 결합하여 3차원적 cross-link를 형성시켜 나가면서 내부 압축응력을 증가시키는 것으로 알려져 있으며, hardness 시험 결과로 이것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 표면거칠기는 기판 bias 전압을 증가시킬수록 더 smooth 해짐을 확인하였다.인하였다.을 알 수 있었다. 즉 계면에서의 반응에 의해 편석되는 Ga에 의해 박막의 strain이 이완되면, pinhole 등의 박막결함

This paper presents a step-down DC-DC buck converter with a CCM/DCM dual-mode function for the internal power stage of portable electronic device. The proposed converter that is operated with a high frequency of 1 MHz consists of a power stage and a control block. The power stage has a power MOS transistor, inductor, capacitor, and feedback resistors for the control loop. The control part has a pulse width modulation (PWM) block, error amplifier, ramp generator, and oscillator. In this paper, an external capacitor for compensation has been replaced with a multiplier equivalent CMOS circuit for area reduction of integrated circuits. In addition, the circuit includes protection block, such as over voltage protection (OVP), under voltage lock out (UVLO), and thermal shutdown (TSD) block. The proposed circuit was designed and verified using a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process parameter by Cadence Spectra circuit design program. The SPICE simulation results showed a peak efficiency of 94.8 %, a ripple voltage of 3.29 mV ripple, and a 1.8 V output voltage with supply voltages ranging from 2.7 to 3.3 V.

A typical SRAM-based PUF is used in random number generation and key exchange process. The generated out puts should be preserved, but the values are changed owing to the external environment. This paper presents a new D-PUF logic employing a dual anti-fuse OTP memory to the SRAM-based PUF. The proposed PUF can enhance the reliability of the logic since it can preserve the output values. First, we construct the OTP memory using an anti-fuse. After power up, a SRAM generates the random values owing to the mismatch of cross coupled inverter pair. The generated random values are programed in the proposed anti-fuse ROM. The values that were programed in the ROM at once will not be changed and returned. Thus, the outputs of the proposed D-PUF are not affected by the environment variable such as the operation voltage and temperature variation, etc. Consequently, the reliability of the proposed PUF will be enhanced owing to the proposed dual anti-fuse ROM. Therefore, the proposed D-PUF can be stably operated, in particular, without the powerful ECC in the external environment that are changed.

The performance of an electrometer directly affects on the accuracy and precision in radiation dosimetry. This study is to list of the quality control for maintaining performance and to perform evaluation tests of an electrometer. Performance tests selected include proper polarizing voltages, warm-up and equalization time, leakages, long-term stability, linearity, and effect of ambient conditions. An electrometer connected with a rigid stem ionization chamber was evaluated with a Strontium-90 check device. Bias voltage was measured directly on the input socket. Equalization time is the time required for reaching threshold of charged state after the power is on or the bias voltage is changed. Pre- and post-signal leakages are defined as the accumulation of signal with no exposure and after exposure, respectively. Over three months period, the electrometer's long-term stability was measured by comparison of the temperature-pressure corrected readings. Linearity was expressed as the deviation of readings from multiple short exposures from one continuous exposure. Effect of ambient conditions was expressed as the zero drift of the electrometer over 17-34$^{\circ}C$ temperature ranges. For two nominal values, 300 and 500 volts, measured voltages were lower by 2.5 and 5.8%, respectively. The warm-up time, 20 minutes, was longer than the lamp time by 9 minutes and the equalization time was less than 1 minute. Without exposure, the zero-drift was 0.002 scale-unit in 15 minutes and the leakage after 10 minutes exposure was minimal. The IQ-4 was stable over 99.4% for three-month periods. Deviation from the linearity was 0.9% for measurement scale, 0.000-9.991. Over 17-34$^{\circ}C$ temperature range, the zero-drift was minimal, less than 0.2%. For a clinically-used electrometer, a list for the basic peformance evaluations is proposed. By running this program, the measurement error using an electrometer can be reduced and in turn the improvement in accuracy and precision of radiation dosimetry can be achieved.

We developed a 37-channel magnetoencephalogram (MEG) measurement system based on low-noise superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometets, and operated the system to measure MEG signals. By using double relaxation oscillation SQUIDs with high flux-4o-voltage transfers, the SQUID outputs could be measured directly by room temperature preamplifiers and compact readout circuits were used for SQUID operation. The average field noise level of the magnetometers is about 3 fT/√Hz in the white region, low enough for MEG measurements when operated inside a magnetically shielded room. The 37 magnetometers were distributed on a hemispherical surface haying a radius of 125 mm. In addition to the 37 sensing channels. 11 reference channels were installed to pickup external noise and to form software gradiometers. A low-noise liquid helium dewar was fabricated with a liquid capacity of 30 L and boil-off rate of 4 L/d. The signal processing software consists of digital filtering, software gradiometer, isofield mapping and source localization. By using the developed system, we measured auditory-evoked fields and localized the current dipoles, demonstrating the effectiveness of the system.

This paper describes a CMOS IF PLL frequency synthesizer. The designed frequency synthesizer can be programmed to operate at various intermediate frequencies using different external LC-tanks. The VCO with automatic amplitude control provides constant output power independent of the Q-factor of the external LC-tank. The designed frequency divider includes an 8/9 or 16/17 dual-modulus prescaler and can be programmed to operate at different frequencies by external serial data for various applications. The designed circuit is fabricated using a 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ n-well CMOS process. Measurement results show that the phase noise is 114dBc/Hz@100kHz and the lock time is less than 300$mutextrm{s}$. It consumes 16mW from 3V supply. The die area is 730${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$950${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

본 연구에서는 PMN-PT bimorph actuator를 이용하여 초소형 광디스크 드라이브용 광픽업 구동기를 제작하였다. 최근에 휴대용 기기에서의 고용량 정보 저장기기에 대한 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 착탈식이 가능한 수 기가급 초소형 광디스크 드라이브가 개발중에 있다. PMN-PT는 약 1.5kV/cm 이하의 전기장에서는 PZT같은 압전 소자와 마찬가지로 입력 전압에 대한 변형률이 선형성을 나타내는데, 사용된 PMN-PT는 PZT의 약 3배 가까운 압전 상수값을 나타내었다. 보 끝단에 외부 힘이 작용할 때 PMN-PT bimorph 구동기가 낼 수 있는 수직 방향의 힘과 변위에 대해서 일반적인 적층 형태로 이론적인 해석을 수행 하였다. 그리고 이 bimorph로 구동될 Cymbal 형태의 변위 확대 기구의 변위에 대한 이론적인 모델을 제시하고, 이를 이용하여 2개의 bimorph로 2축을 동시에 구동하는 픽업 구동기를 제작하였다. 3개의 제작된 prototype으로 실험을 수행하여 예상 변위량과 잘 일치함을 보였다. 또한, 상용 해석 프로그램인 Matlab과 Ansys를 이용하여 Cymbal 확대 기구의 여러 파라미터에 따른 구동 성능의 민감도를 확인해 보았다.

Memristor is a new kind of memory device whose resistance varies depending upon applied charge and whose previous resistance state is preserved even when its power is off. Ordinary memristor has a nonlinear programming characteristics about time when a constant voltage is applied. For the easiness of programming, it is desirable that resistance is programmed linearly about time. We had proposed previously a memristor bridge configuration with which weight can be programmed nicely in positive, negative or zero. In memristor bridge circuit, two memristors are connected in series with different polarity. Memristors are complementary each other and it follows that the memristance variation is linear with respect to time. In this paper, the linearization effect of weight programming of memristor bridge synapse is investigated and verified about both $TiO_2$ memristor from HP and a nonlinear memristor with a window function. Memristor bridge circuit would be helpful to conduct synaptic weight programming.

This paper presents a bandpass filter using a current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA)s for application to low-voltage and low-power analog signal processing systems. The presented filter employs grounding and floating active inductors, which are composed of two or three CDTAs, and is capable of realizing all the standard functions of the filter without requiring any component matching criteria or extra active components. The HSPICE simulation result of the designed active bandpass filter showed that it had a 10MHz center frequency with -2.5dB attenuated bandwidth from 9.5 MHz to 10.5 MHz, and -50dB from 8 MHz to 17 MHz.
