Organic molecules have many properties that make them attractive for electronic applications. We have been examining the progress of memory cell by using molecular-scale switch to give an example of the application using both nanoscale components and Si-technology. In this study, molecular electronic devices were fabricated with amion style derivatives as redox-active component to compare to the devices using Zn-Porphyrin derivatives. This molecule is amphiphilic to allow monolayer formation by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method, and then this LB monolayer is inserted between two metal electrodes. According to current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, it was found that the devices show remarkable hysteresis behavior and can be used as memory devices at ambient conditions, when aluminum oxide layer was existed on bottom electrode. Diode-like characteristics were measured only, when Pt layer was existed as bottom electrode. It was also found that this metal layer interacts with the organic molecules and acts as a protecting layer, when thin Ti layer was inserted between the organic molecular layer and the top Al electrode. These electrical properties of the devices may be applicable to active components for the memory and/or logic gates in the future.

Various sizes of erbium/platinum silicided n/p-type Schottky barrier metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (SB-MOSFETs) are manufactured from $20{\mu}m$ to 10nm. The manufactured SB-MOSFETs show excellent DIBL and subthreshold swing characteristics due to the existence of Schottky barrier between source and channel. It is found that the minimization of trap density between silicide and silicon interface and the reduction of the underlap resistance are the key factors for the improvement of short channel characteristics. The manufactured 10 nm n-type SBMOSFET showed $550{\mu}A/um$ saturation current at $V_{GS}-V_T$ = $V_{DS}$ = 2V condition ($T_{ox}$ = 5nm) with excellent short channel characteristics, which is the highest current level compared with reported data.

Cantilever-shaped lateral field emitters were fabricated and their electrical characteristics were tested. As shown in Fig.1, poly-silicon cantilevers were fabricated by the surface micromachining and they were used to the vacuum magnetic field sensors. The tunneling devices were vacuum sealed with the tubeless packaging method, as shown in Fig.2 and Fig.3. The soda-lime glasses were used for better encapsulation, so the sputtered silicon and the glass layers on the soda-lime glasses were bonded together at 1x10$^{-6}$ Torr. The getter was activated after the vacuum sealing fur the stable emissions. The devices were tested outside of the vacuum chamber. Through vacuum packaging, the tunneling sensors can be utilized. Fig.4 shows that the sensor operates with the switching of the magnetic field. When the magnetic field was applied to the device, the anode currents were varied by the Lorentz force. The difference of anode currents can be varied with the strength of the applied magnetic field.

The technologies in medical electronic implant(MEI) devices are developing rapidly, and already, there are various kinds of the MEI devices in the current medical equipments market. Recently, the global market scale of MEI devices have been increased about 13% year by year, and the import amount of MEI devices in Korea is increasing rapidly. In the near future, the demands of MEI devices will be magnificently increasing by the continuous development of the biomedical electronics devices which coupled with neural, brain and other organs will bring us to tremendous effects, such as providing new therapeutic solutions to patients, extension and saving human life, and an important clue of medical development. However, the investment of the research and the activity of developments in this field are still very weak in the Korea. Consequently, this paper introduces about the research trends of MEI devices, and technological problems those must be solved, and then concludes with the suggestions in order to be the leading country in this field.

This paper proposes a system for reducing the standby power consumption in using the consumer electronic devices such as a television, a home theater, a set-top box, or a DVD player. The system is consisted of a flyback converter, monitoring circuits, a relay and a micro-processor. The proposed system can reduce the standby power consumption by disconnecting the AC input and the consumer devices can be turned on with a remote control. The proposed standby power system consumes the low power to receive the infrared signal from the remote controller. Furthermore, a electronic double layer capacitor is used to store the energy with high efficiency. The proposed power system can operate the 플라이백 converter to charge the electronic double layer capacitor and connect the AC input to the consumer electronic devices. The proposed power circuit can reduce the standby power consumption in AV devices without increasing the cost. The prototype is implemented to verify the system with the commercialized products.

The thermometers is widely used in diagnostic medical devices, and the safety and accurate performance of these devices are important in the diagnosis and monitoring of personal health. Especially, the accuracy of infra-red thermometer is highly emphasized. Here two typical thermometers are utilized for this purpose: the electronic thermometers measure body temperature by contacting to subject while infra-red thermometers measure by no contacting to subject. Therefore, the evaluating items of each thermometer are different, and the standard for each temperature is highly needed. But, there have been no international standards of each thermometer such as IEC. In this paper, we developed the standards of electronic and infra-red thermometer based on national standards such as KS, ASTM, EN, JIS and FDA guidance. The new standards focused on the safety and suitable performance for health care. This standards were applied to enact and revise the electronic medical device standards. So it can be applied to evaluate the safety and performance on technical file review. We predict that this standard will improve the quality of diagnostic medical devices (thermometers) and increase the international competitive power of domestic product.

Our society is depending on mobile devices that play a major role in our lives. Utilizing these devices is possible due to their speed power and efficiency in performing basic as well as sophisticated operations that can be found in traditional computers like desktop workstations. The challenge with using mobile devices is that organizations are concerned with the interference between personal and corporate use due to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend. This paper highlights the importance of mobile devices in our daily tasks and the associated risks involved with using these devices. Several technologies and countermeasures are reviewed in this paper to secure the mobile devices from different attempts of attacks. It is important to mention that this paper focuses on technical measures rather than considering different aspects of security measures as recommended by the cybersecurity community.

Beginning with a brief introduction on near 100 nm or below CMOS devices, this paper addresses novel devices for future sub-100 nm CMOS. First, key issues such as gate materials, gate dielectric, source/drain, and channel in Si bulk CMOS devices are considered. CMOS devices with different channel doping and structure are introduced by explaining a figure of merit. Finally, novel device structures such as SOI, SiGe, and double-gate devices will be discussed for possible candidates for sub-100 nm CMOS.

Today, medical devices is making great progress in type of the electronic medical device controlled by embedded software. So, the quality of electronic medical devices is dependant on the quality of embedded medical software. Especially, considering that medical devices closely connected to human life, we think the study about reliability of medical devices will be needed in the quality of programmable electronic medical devices. In this thesis, we constructed the reliability evaluation method based on ISO/IEC 9126 and ISO/IEC 12119, and developed the system that can applicate FMEA method, the one of the reliability evaluation method.
