This paper suggests the triple-mode CMOS DC-DC converter that has temperature/voltage variation compensation techniques. The proposed triple-mode CMOS DC-DC converter is used to generate constant or variable voltages of 0.6-2.2V within battery source range of 3.3-5.5V. Also, it supports triple modes, which include Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) mode, Pulse Frequency Modulator (PFM) mode and Low Drop-Out (LDO) mode. Moreover, it uses 1MHz low-power CMOS ring oscillator that will compensate malfunction of chip in temperature/voltage variation condition. The proposed triple-mode CMOS DC-DC converter, which generates output voltages of 0.6-2.2V with an input voltage sources of 3.3-5.5V, exhibits the maximum output ripple voltage of below 10mV at PWM mode, 15mV at PFM mode and 4mV at LDO mode. And the proposed converter has maximum efficiency of 93% at PWM mode. Even at $-25{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ temperature variations, it has kept the output voltage level within 0.8% at PWM/PFM/LDO modes. For the verification of proposed triple-mode CMOS DC-DC converter, the simulations are carried out with $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS technology and chip test is carried out.

A tapered ridge mode laser diode with increased spot size is designed and analyzed . The mode evolution concept is applied to design the taper and the method does not require regrowth or multiple-step etching technique. Three-dimensional BPM results show that the designed taper can transfer more than 97% of the mode power in the active region to the expanded mode.

Amorphous carbon nitride thin films were prepared on pretreated silicon(100) substrate in sputtering graphite target by activated gas phase using RF reactively sputtering. We measured the FT-IR spectrum to identify C=N(nitrile)stretching mode(2200cm$\^$-1/), C-H stretching mode(2800cm$\^$-1/), C-H bending mode, C=C stretching mode C=N(imino) mode(1680cm$\^$-1/ ), and the XPS to investigate chemical structure of surface. By the results of FT-H and XPS spectrum, We confirmed that amorphous carbon nitride films with typel (C(1s): 285.9[eV], N(1s): 398.5[ev]) and type 2(C1s): 287.5[eV, N(1s): 400.2[eV]) successfully were synthesized by RF reactively sputtering

The competition among nations has been extended to competition between localities, and the importance of knowledge activities in local areas is being emphasized. To contribute to the nurturing of highly qualified professionals and the development of local industry, the Korean government established the S&T-centric research universities including KAIST in 5 local areas. These S&T-centric research universities are top notch research centers and educational environments in Korea. However, it has been pointed out that their ability to act as local innovation hubs is limited. Accordingly, this study conducted an empirical analysis on the outcomes of the S&T-centric research universities by dividing them into two categories, Mode 1 and Mode 2, and comparing them with those of other general universities. It was found that the outcomes of the S&T-centric universities were higher in Mode 1, but lower in Mode 2, than those of the general universities. Furthermore, the S&T-centric universities are not connected very much to the region's specialized industries. It was difficult to find any evidence that the S&T-centric universities differ from the other universities in terms of their outcomes or activities as they were initially envisaged.

The KIER expressway mode was constructed from actual speed-versus-time traces generated by an instrumented test car driven a variety of expressways. This mode reflects the correct proportion of operation on each of the six expressways and preserves the non-steady-state characteristics of real driving. The average speed of the mode is 79.43 km/h and the mode length is 16.22 km.

In this paper, we propose a novel reconfigurable antenna that can change the electrical shape of the matching network using RF switches of PIN diodes. The designed antenna operates at two different modes that are Mode 1 (HSDPA band, 2.1~2.2 GHz) and Mode 2(WiBro WiFi band, 2.3~2.5 GHz). The antenna is built on both sides of a polyarcylate substrate. The measured reflection coefficient shows a matching bandwidth of 547 MHz($S_{11}$ <-3 dB, 2.035~2.582 GHz) for Mode 1 and 600 MHz($S_{11}$ <-3 dB, 2.2~2.8 GHz) for Mode 2, and it shows average vertical gains of -4.4 dBi and -4.5 dBi in x-y plane, respectively.

In this work, the memory window characteristics of vertical nanowire device with asymmetric source and drain was analyzed using bipolar junction transistor mode for 1T-DRAM application. A gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFET with higher doping concentration in the drain region than in the source region was used. The shape of GAA MOSFET was a tapered vertical structure that the source area is larger than the drain area. From hysteresis curves using bipolar junction mode, the memory windows were 1.08V in the forward mode and 0.16V in the reverse mode, respectively. We observed that the latch-up point was larger in the forward mode than in the reverse mode by 0.34V. To confirm the measurement results, the device simulation has been performed and the simulation results were consistent in the measurement ones. We knew that the device structure with higher doping concentration in the drain region was desirable for the 1T-DRAM using bipolar junction mode.

In this paper, a 3rd-order Chebyshev current-mode filter in 1.8V-$0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS parameter is designed. The core circuit of the current-mode filter is composed with the proposed voltage-controlled frequency tunable current-mode integrator. Using the proposed current-mode integrator, the cutoff frequency of the filter can be controlled and also total power consumption can be reduced. HSPICE simulation results show the cutoff frequency of the filter is controlled between 1.2MHz and 10.1MHz, and the power consumption is 2.85mW at Vdd=1.8V.

We fabricated fiber-optic polarizers utilizing polarization selective mode coupling between the guided mode of a fiber and the surface plasmon mode supported by a thin aluminium film deposited on the polished side of a fiber. AI thin films with various thicknesses were coated onto the 633 nm, 830 nm, 1.3 fJITI single mode fibers. The maximum extinction ratio was higher than 30 dB for most of the samples and the best result was 42 dB at 90 A film thickness, with 1.3 fJITI single mode fiber. The insertion loss ranged from 0.2 dB to 1.5 dB.1.5 dB.

This research investigated the effect of COD/N ratio on nitrogen removal, and the use of organics in raw wastewater as a carbon source for denitrification in SBR(Sequencing Batch Reactor) systems. Four laboratory scale reactors were operated in three modes. Only the difference between modes were; Mode I operated in aerated condition during fill while Mode II in anoxic condition and Mode III operated on two fills per cycle in anoxic condition. When COD/N ratio increased, total nitrogen removal efficiencies increased from 8.7 to 57.7 percent in Mode I, from 28.9 to 83.2 percent in Mode II and from 42.7 to 97.8 percent in Mode III, respectively. COD removal efficiencies ranged from 93 to 98 percent throughout the study. SBR operation in Mode III of feeding twice per cycle in anoxic condition was an effective operating method for nitrogen removal and nitrogen concentration in effluent can be estimated using influent COD and nitrogen concentrations.
