Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is a technology that attracts attention as a next-generation digital circuit design technology, and several digital circuits have been proposed in the QCA environment. Content-addressable memory (CAM) is a storage device that conducts a search based on information stored therein and provides fast speed in a special process such as network switching. Existing CAM cell circuits proposed in the QCA environment have a disadvantage in that a required area and energy dissipation are large. The CAM cell is composed of a memory unit that stores information and a match unit that determines whether or not the search is successful, and this study proposes an improved QCA CAM cell by designing the memory unit in a multi-layer structure. The proposed circuit uses simulation to verify the operation and compares and analyzes with the existing circuit.

CMOS used in digital circuit design technology has reached the limit of integration due to quantum tunneling. Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), which can replace this, has many advantages such as low power consumption and fast switching speed, so many digital circuits of CMOS have been proposed based on QCA. Among them, the multiplexer is a basic circuit used in various circuits such as D-flip-flops and resistors, and has been studied a lot. However, the existing multiplexer has a disadvantage that space efficiency is not good. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new multilayered multiplexer using cell interaction and D-latch using it. The multiplexer and D-latch proposed in this paper have improved area, cell count, and delay time, and have excellent connectivity and scalability when designing large circuits. All proposed structures are simulated using QCADesigner to verify operation.

This paper studies mismatched scalar quantization of a generalized gamma source by a quantizer that is optimally (in the mean square error sense) designed for another generalized gamma source. Specifically, it considers variance-mismatched quantization which occurs when the variance of the source to be quantized differs from tat of the designed-for source. The main result is the two distortion formulas derived from Bennett's integral. The first formula is an approximation expression that uses the outermost threshold of an optimum scalar quantizer, and the second formula, in turn, uses an approximation formula for this outermost threshold. Numerical results are obtained for Laplacian sources, which are example of a generalized gamma source, and comparisons are made between actual mismatched distortions and the two formulas. These numerical results show that the two formulas become more accurate, as the number of quantization points gets larger and the ratio of the source variance to that of the designed-for source gets bigger. For example, the formulas are within 2~4% of the actual distortion for approximately 64 quantization points or more. In conclusion, the proposed approximation formulas are considered to have contribution as closed formulas and for their accuracy.

The two dimensional electron gas system based on GaAs/$Al_xGa_{1-x}As$ heterostructure is widely used for fabricating quantum structures such as quantum dot, quantum point contact, electron interferometer and so on. However the conductance of the device is usually unstable due to the presence of random telegraph noise in the device. To overcome such problem, we have studied the effect of surface state on the stability of the device by altering the surface state of the device with oxygen plasma. The dramatic improvement of the device stability has been observed after cleaning the device surface with oxygen plasma (by 50 W~120 W plasma power) for 30 sec followed by etching in HCl : $H_2O$ (1 : 3) solution.

In this paper, we study the enhancement of VQ (Vector Quantization) design for text dependent speaker recognition. In a concrete way, we present the non-Iterative method which makes a vector quantization codebook and this method Is nut Iterative learning so that the computational complexity is epochally reduced. The proposed semi-noniterative VQ design method contrasts with the existing design method which uses the iterative learning algorithm for every training speaker. The characteristics of a semi-noniterative VQ design is as follows. First, the proposed method performs the iterative learning only for the reference speaker, but the existing method performs the iterative learning for every speaker. Second, the quantization region of the non-reference speaker is equivalent for a quantization region of the reference speaker. And the quantization point of the non-reference speaker is the optimal point for the statistical distribution of the non-reference speaker In the numerical experiment, we use the 12th met-cepstrum feature vectors of 20 speakers and compare it with the existing method, changing the codebook size from 2 to 32. The recognition rate of the proposed method is 100% for suitable codebook size and adequate training data. It is equal to the recognition rate of the existing method. Therefore the proposed semi-noniterative VQ design method is, reducing computational complexity and maintaining the recognition rate, new alternative proposal.
