Unlike a printing process, it is difficult to pattern organic thin films in the longitudinal (coating) direction using a coating process. In this paper, we have investigated the feasibility of patterning organic thin films using needles. To this end, we have slot-coated an aqueous poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) solution in the form of a fine stripe or large area and then applied the dual needle; one for discharging the main solvent of the underlying thin film and the other for sucking the dissolved thin film. We have found that the pattern width and depth increase as the moving speed of the plate decreases. However, it is observed that the sidewall slope is very gentle (the length of the slope is of the order of 200 ㎛) due to the fact that the discharged main solvent is widely spread and then isotropic etching occurs. With this scheme, we have also demonstrated that a fine stripe can be obtained by scanning the dual needle closely. To demonstrate its applicability to solution-processable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), we have also fabricated OLED with the patterned PEDOT:PSS stripe and observed the insulation property in the strong light-emitting stripe.

This paper proposes a novel methodology of systematic global calibration and validates its accuracy and efficiency with application to memory and logic devices. With 175 SIMS profiles which cover the range of conditions of implant and diffusion processes in the fabrication lines, the dominant diffusion phenomenon in each process temperature region has been determined. Using the dual-pearson implant model and fully-coupled diffusion model, the calibration was performed systematically. We applied the globally calibrated process simulator parameters to memory and logic devices to predict the optimum process conditions for target device characteristics.

This study investigates an application of the Hamming network-dual extended Kalman filter (DEKF) based on pattern recognition for high accuracy state-of-charge (SOC)/capacity estimation and state-of-health (SOH) prediction at various temperatures. The averaged nine discharging/charging voltage-temperature (DCVT) patterns for ten fresh Li-Ion cells at experimental temperatures are measured as representative patterns, together with cell model parameters. Through statistical analysis, the Hamming network is applied to identify the representative pattern that matches most closely with the pattern of an arbitrary cell measured at any temperature. Based on temperature-checking process, model parameters for a representative DCVT pattern can then be applied to estimate SOC/capacity and to predict SOH of an arbitrary cell using the DEKF. This avoids the need for repeated parameter measuremet.

The promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene is a gene known to be a tumor suppressor, although recent data suggest that it has a dual function in tumorigenesis. It was initially discovered in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) in which a t(15; 17) chromosomal translocation fused it to the retinoic acid receptor alpha ($RAR{\alpha}$). It has been shown to be involved in various types of cancer. It has at least 6 nuclear isoforms and a cytoplasmic type with different characteristics. Its multiple functions in growth inhibition, apoptosis induction, replicative senescence, inhibition of oncogenic transformation, and suppression of migration and angiogenesis have made it a therapeutic target for cancer therapy. However, its dual role in the process of tumorigenesis has made this field challenging. In this review, we discuss PML structure, functions and expression in tumors.

최신(4GDRAM)의 MASK design에서는 전자기파의 산란에 의한 효과를 고려해 주는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이를 위하여 시간 영역에서의 요한 차분법을 도입하여 직접 마스크 함수를 계산하였다. 새롭게 도입한 마스크 함수를 사용함으로써 마스크와 렌즈의 효과뿐만 아니라, submicron 노광용 위상 변이 마스크의 식각된 옆벽에서의 산란효과를 정확하게 설명할 수 있었다. 산란효과를 줄이기 위해 변형된 마스크의 형태에 따른 특성을 살펴보았고, dual etch back에 의한 마스크 변형이 가장 좋은 공정 여유도를 제공함을 확인하였다.

In this work, we studied the optimized copper thickness in Cu ECP (Electrochemical Plating). In order to select an optimized Cu ECP thickness, we examined Cu ECP bulge (bump, hump or over-plating amount), Cu CMP dishing and electrical properties of via hole and line trench over dual damascene patterned wafers split into different ECP Cu thickness. In the aspect of bump and dishing, the bulge increased according as target plating thickness decreased. Dishing of edge was larger than center of wafer. Also in case of electrical property, metal line resistance distribution became broad gradually according as Cu ECP thickness decreased. In conclusion, at least $20\%$ reduced Cu ECP thickness from current baseline; $0.8\;{\mu}m$ and $1.0\;{\mu}m$ are suitable to be adopted as newly optimized Cu ECP thickness for local and intermediate layer.

The vessels which are operated in ECA (Emission Control Area) after $1^{st}$ January 2016 shall be complied with revised NOx emission requirement (Tier III). Effective solutions for NOx emission requirement are SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction), EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and Installation of LNG Dual Fuel Engine. This study is considered the design modification as per application of LNG Ready notation. In case of LNG Ready - S notation, the vessel shall be retrofitted the Main engine with Dual fuel engine and LNG Fuel system after delivery. On this paper, the entire process for design modification was explained to meet the requirement for LNG Ready notation.

The nucleophilic substitution reactions of bis(Y-aryl) chlorothiophosphates (1) with X-pyridines are investigated kinetically in acetonitrile at $35.0^{\circ}C$. The free energy relationships with both X and Y are biphasic concave upwards with a break point at X = 3-Ph and Y = H, respectively. The sign of cross-interaction constants (CICs; ${\rho}_{XY}$) is positive with all X and Y. Proposed mechanism is a stepwise process with a rate-limiting leaving group departure from the intermediate with all X and Y. The kinetic results of 1 are compared with those of Y-aryl phenyl chlorothiophosphates (2). In the case of Y = electron-withdrawing groups, the cross-interaction between Y and Y, due to additional substituent Y, is significant enough to change the sign of ${\rho}_{XY}$ from negative with 2 to positive with 1, indicative of the change of mechanism from a rate-limiting bond formation to bond breaking.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive turbo decoding algorithm for high order modulation scheme combined with originally design for a standard rate-1/2 turbo decoder for B/QPSK modulation. A transformation applied to the incoming I-channel and Q-channel symbols allows the use of an off-the-shelf B/QPSK turbo decoder without any modifications. Adaptive turbo decoder process the received symbols recursively to improve the performance. As the number of iterations increase, the execution time and power consumption also increase as well. The source of the latency and power consumption reduction is from the combination of the radix-4, dual-path processing, parallel decoding, and early-stop algorithms. We implemented the proposed scheme on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and compared its decoding speed with that of a conventional decoder. From the result of implementation, we confirm that the decoding speed of proposed adaptive decoding is faster than conventional scheme by 6.4 times.

This study investigates the direct displacement based design (DDBD) approach for different types of reinforced concrete structural systems including single moment-resisting, dual wall-frame and dual steel-braced systems. In this methodology, the displacement profile is calculated and the equivalent single degree of freedom system is then modeled considering the damping characteristics of each member. Having calculated the effective period and secant stiffness of the structure, the base shear is obtained, based on which the design process can be carried out. For each system three frames are designed using DDBD approach. The frames are then analyzed using nonlinear time-history analysis with 7 earthquake accelerograms and the damage index is investigated through lateral drift profile of the models. Results of the analyses and comparison of the nonlinear time-history analysis results indicate efficiency of the DDBD approach for different reinforced concrete structural systems.
