This paper describes a 4.224GHz CMOS charge pump PLL for Mode 1 MB-OFDM UWB hopping carrier generation. It includes a qudrature VCO of which the frequency range is from 3.98GHz to 4.47GHz(@ 0.4 to 1.5 V), a divider, a PFD, a loop filter, a charge pump, and a lock detector. Designed in a 0.18um CMOS technology, the PLL draws 6.6mA from a 1.8V supply. The phase noise of the designed VCO is -133dBc/Hz@3MHz.

본 연구에서는 charge pumping method에서 사용되는 변수들의 변화를 이용하여 hot carrier stress가 MOSFET소자의 oxide내에서의 trap 분포에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대해서 연구하였다. trap 분포를 확인하기 위해 스트레스 전 후에 reverse bias와 주파수에 따른 trap의 양을 측정 하였다. 스트레스 전과 후에 reverse bias와 주파수가 감소할수록 trap이 증가하는 모습이 나타났고, 스트레스 후에는 전과 비교하여 전반적으로 trap의 양이 증가하였다. 또한, 스트레스 전과 후에 MOSFET소자의 trap density는 center region에서 $2.89{\times}$10^10에서 $1.64{\times}$10^10으로 감소하였고, drain region에서 $2.83{\times}$10^10에서 $5.26{\times}$10^10으로 증가한 것을 확인하였다. 이는 reverse bias와 주파수의 가변에 따라서 trap의 공간적 분포를 측정할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.

MOSFET degradation의 대부분은 hot-carrier injection에 의한 interface state (Dit)의 생성에서 비롯되며 따라서 본 연구에서는 신뢰성에 대한 한 가지 방법으로 Charge pumping method를 이용하여 MOSFET의 interface trap(Dit)의 변화를 측정하였다. 소스와 드레인을 ground로 묶고 게이트에 펄스를 인가한 후 Icp를 측정하여 Dit를 추출하였다. 온도를 293~343 K까지 5 K씩 가변했을 때 293K의 Icp(${\mu}A$)는 0.12 nA 313 K는 0.112 nA 343 K는 0.926 nA이며 Dit (cm-1/eV-1)는 $1.61{\times}10^{12}$ (Cm-2/eV-1) $1.49{\times}10^{12}$ (Cm-2/eV-1) $1.23{\times}10^{12}$ (Cm-2/eV-1)이다. 측정결과 Dit는 Icp가 높은 지점에서 추출되며 온도가 높아지게 되면 Icp전류가 낮아지고 Dit가 줄어드는 것을 볼 수 있다. 온도가 올라가게 되면 carrier들이 trap 준위에서 conduction band 위쪽에 이동하게 되어서 interface에 trap되는 양이 작아지게 된다. 그래서 이때 Icp를 이용해 추출한 Dit 는 실제로 trap의 양이 줄어든 것이 아니라 Thermal excess 현상으로 인해 측정되는 Icp의 양이 줄어든 것으로 분석할 수 있다.

Insulating polymers and their composites have been widely used in various electric apparatus or cables. Recently, the effects of interfaces (metal/insulator or insulator/insulator interfaces) on electrical insulation have attracted much attention. However, interfacial phenomena in actual insulation systems and their physical backgrounds are not well understood yet. In this paper, the behaviour of charge carriers near the metal/polymer interface and its effects on conduction and breakdown phenomena are discussed. The metal/polymer interface strongly affects carrier injection, space charge formation and breakdown phenomena. Based on their experimental results, the physical backgrounds of the interfacial phenomena are explained.

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are attracting attention in the field of next-generation electronic devices, and they can be fabricated on a flexible substrate using an organic semiconductor as a channel layer. In particular, DPP-based semiconducting conjugated polymers are actively used because they have higher charge carrier mobility than other organic semiconductors, but they are still lower than inorganic semiconductors, so various studies are being conducted to improve the charge carrier mobility. In this study, the charge carrier mobility is improved by controlling the surface energy of the substrate by forming self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). As the surface energy of the substrate is controlled by the SAMs, the crystallinity increases, thereby improving the charge carrier mobility by 14 times from 3.57×10^-3 cm²V^-1s^-1 to 5.12×10^-2 cm²V^-1s^-1

Channel width dependence of hot-carrier effect in nMOSFET with shallow trench isolation is analyzed. $I_{sub}$- $V_{G}$ and $\Delta$ $I_{ㅇ}$ measurement data show that MOSFETs with narrow channel-width are more susceptible to the hot-carrier degradation than MOSFETs with wide channel-width. By analysing $I_{sub}$/ $I_{D}$, linear $I_{D}$- $V_{G}$ characteristics, thicker oxide-thickness at the STI edge is identified as the reason for the channel-width dependent hot-carrier degradation. Using the charge-pumping method, $N_{it}$ generation due to the drain avalanche hot-carrier (DAHC) and channel hot-electron (CHE) stress are compared. are compared.

In this paper, the light emitting efficiency, spectrum, and the lifetime of the phosphorescent devices, whose emission characteristics are strongly dominated not only by the energy transfer but also by the charge carrier trapping induced by the emissive dopant, are explained by differences in the energy levels of the host, dopant, and nearby transport layers. On the basis of our finding on device performance and photocurrent measurement data by time-of-flight (TOF), we investigated the effect of the difference of carrier trapping dopant and properties of the host materials on the efficiency roll-off of phosphorescent organic light emitting diode (OLED), along with a physical interpretation and practical design scheme, such as a multiple host system, for improving the efficiency and lifetime of devices.

Normal modes of carrier waves due to longitudinal modulation in solids have been defined. The dispersion relationship of these waves in the presence of collision effects and thermal diffusion is derived and examined in detail. It is also shown that the carrier waves are reduced to the wellknown space-charge waves and electroacoustic hayes in special cases.

Due to their better photosensitivity in X-ray, the amorphous selenium based photoreceptor is widely used on the X-ray conversion materials. It was possible to control the charge carrier transport of amorphous selenium by suitably alloying a-Se with other elements(e,g. As, Cl). The charge transport properties of amorphous Selenium is decided on hole which is induced from metal to selenium in metal-selenium junction and which is transferred in a-Se bulk. This phenomenon is resulted of changing electric field owing to increasing of space charge by deep trap of a-Se bulk. In this paper, We dopped the chlorine to compensate deep hole trap and deposited blocking layer using dielectric material to prevent from increasing space charge for injection charge between metal electrode and a-Se layer. We compared space charge and the decreasing of trap density through measuring dark and photo current.
