The Gate-Induced-Drain-Leakage (GIDL) current with channel doping and width dependence are characterized. The GIDL currents are found to increase in MOSFETs with higher channel doping levels and the observed GIDL current is generated by the band-to-band-tunneling (BTBT) of electron through the reverse-biased channel-to-drain p-n junction. A BTBT model is used to fit the measured GIDL currents under different channel-doping levels. Good agreement is obtained between the modeled results and experimental data. The increase of the GIDL current at narrower widths in mainly caused by the stronger gate field at the edge of the shallow trench isolation (STI). As channel width decreases, a larger portion of the GIDL current is generated at the channel-isolation edge. Therefore, the stronger gate field at the channel-isolation edge causes the total unit-width GIDL current to increases for narrow-width devices.

The drain current of the MOSFET in the off state(i.e., Id when Vgs=0V) is undesired but nevertheless important leakage current device parameter in many digital CMOS IC applications (including DRAMs, SRAMs, dynamic logic circuits, and portable systems). The standby power consumed by devices in the off state have added to the total power consumed by the IC, increasing heat dissipation problems in the chip. In this paper, hot-carrier-induced degra- dation and gate-induced-drain-leakage curr- ent under worse case in P-MOSFET\`s have been studied. First of all, the degradation of gate-induced- drain-leakage current due to electron/hole trapping and surface electric field in off state MOSFET\`s which has appeared as an additional constraint in scaling down p-MOSFET\`s. The GIDL current in p-MOSFET\`s was decreased by hot-electron stressing, because the trapped charge were decreased surface-electric-field. But the GIDL current in n-MOS77T\`s under worse case was increased.

The mesh mask screen, which is generally used for screen printing metallization of silicon solar cell, requires high squeegee pressure and low printing speed. These requirements are acting as a limiting factor in production yield in photovoltaic industries. In order to improve the productivity, a metal mask, which has high durability and high printing speed, has been researched. In this paper, the characteristics of each solar cell, in which electrodes were formed by using a metal mask and a mesh mask, were analyzed through recombination current density. In particular, the metal-induced recombination current density (Jom) representing the recombination of the emitter-metal interface was calculated using the shading method, and the resulting efficiency and open-circuit voltage were analyzed through the diode equation. As a result of analyzing the proportion of the metal-induced recombination current density to the total emitter recombination current density, it was analyzed that the reduction of the metal-induced recombination current density through the metal mask is an important factor in reducing the total recombination current density of the solar cell.

The results of measurements of shear current induced in water by wind in wind wave tunnel are presented briefly. The shear current distributions are found to fit reasonably well an exponentiall form. This form was used to estimate surface velocity and boundary layer thickness used in stability analysis. An analysis of hydrodynamic stability of the shear current was carried out, using a broken line as an approximate profile, to see the stability as a possible mechanism of wind wave generation. Comparison between experimental results and theoretical ones shows that there exists a large discrepancy particularly in phase velocity and hydrodynamic instability of the shear current seems not to be the basic mechanism of wind wave generation.

자기 기록 시스템은 시간의 흐름에 따라 기록 밀도는 높아지고 있고 또한 기록 속도 역시 빨라지고 있다. 더욱 빠른 기록 속도의 요구 치로 인하여 자기 기록 헤드에 인가되어지는 기록 주파수 역시 높아져야 하고 또한 기록이 일어나는 기록 미디어의 회전 속도 역시 빨라져야 한다. 이와 같은 두 가지 요건은 헤드와 기록 미디어에서 와전류를 발생시키게 된다. 기록 헤드에서는 기록 주파수에 의해 발생되는 와전류가 존재한다. 그리고 기록 미디어에서는 기록 주파수에 의해 발생되는 와전류와 회전하는 미디어의 선속도에 의해 발생하는 와전류가 존재하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 비선형 3차원 유한 요소법을 이용하여 자기 기록 헤드에서 발생하는 와전류와 기록 미디어에서 발생하는 두 종류의 와전류의 분포를 분석하고 이와 같이 발생한 와전류가 자기 기록시스템에서 자기 기록 필드에 미치는 영향에 대해서 연구하였다.

Glial cells, including astrocytes and microglia, interact closely with neurons and modulate pain transmission, particularly under pathological conditions. In this study, we examined the excitability of substantia gelatinosa (SG) neurons of the spinal dorsal horn using a patch clamp recording to investigate the roles of microglial activation in the nociceptive processes of rats. We used xanthine/xanthine oxidase (X/XO), a generator of superoxide anion (O2·-), to induce a pathological pain condition. X/XO treatment induced an inward current and membrane depolarization. The inward current was significantly inhibited by minocycline, a microglial inhibitor, and fluorocitrate, an astrocyte inhibitor. To examine whether toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in microglia was involved in the inward current, we used lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a highly specific TLR4 agonist. The LPS induced inward current, which was decreased by pretreatment with Tak-242, a TLR4-specific inhibitor, and phenyl N-t-butylnitrone, a reactive oxygen species scavenger. The X/XO-induced inward current was also inhibited by pretreatment with Tak-242. These results indicate that the X/XO-induced inward current of SG neurons occurs through activation of TLR4 in microglial cells, suggesting that neuroglial cells modulate the nociceptive process through central sensitization.

본 논문에서는 준정적 FDTD 기법을 FORTRAN 프로그래밍을 통해 직접 구현하고 이를 이용해 중간주파수 대역의 인체유도전류 분포를 해석하였다. 제작된 프로그램의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 기존 FDTD 기법을 적용하기 어려운 테스트 모델에 대한 계산결과를 이론적 해와 비교하고, 타임스텝이 크게($5.68{\times}10^6$배) 단축되는 것을 확인하였다. 검증된 수치해석 기법을 이용하여 20[kHz] 자기장과 1[MHz] 전기장에 노출된 3차원 고해상도 인체모델에 유기되는 유도전류의 분포를 계산하고, 양 발의 접지조건이 유도전류의 분포와 크기에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 인체유도전류의 안전성 평가, 생체전기 응용 진단장치 개발 등을 포함한 다양한 분야에서 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

조류와 취송류의 비선형 상호작용에 대한 연직확산계수의 영향을 점모형을 이용하여 살펴보았다. q$^2$-q$^2$1 난류모형을 난류운동에너지의 생성과 감쇄가 균형을 이룬다는 가정 하에 단순화한 0-방정식 난류모형을 도입하고 마찰수심의 영향을 적절히 반영하도록 수정하여 연직확산계수를 산정하였다. 0-방정식 난류모형의 유도과정과 전향력 항이 포함됨으로써 공진이 발생될 수 있음을 제시하였다. 왕복성 수면경사력과 바람응력이 복합된 경우, 고려된 바람응력에 의한 조류 진폭의 변화는 무시할만한 크기였으나, 왕복성 수면경사력만에 의해서는 발생되지 않았던 2배조의 조류 성분이 파생되었다. 취송류의 연직구조는 조류에 의한 배경난류가 지배적인지의 여부에 따라 상당한 차이를 보였다. 따라서 황해와 같이 강한 조류가 존재하는 해역의 취송순환을 파악함에 있어 조류에 의한 배경난류를 무시할 경우는 실제와는 상당히 다른 결과가 나타날 수 있다.

We previously demonstrated the ability of ginseng saponins (active ingredients of Panax ginseng) to enhance $Ca^{2+}$-activated $Cl^{-}$ current. The mechanism for this ginseng saponin-induced enhancement was proposed to be the release of $Ca^{2+}$ from $IP_{3}-sensitive$ intracellular stores through the activation of PTX-insensitive $G\alpha_{q/11}$ proteins and PLC pathway. Recent studies have shown that calmodulin (CaM) regulates $IP_{3}$ receptor-mediated $Ca^{2+}$ release in both $Ca^{2+}-dependent$ and -independent manner. In the present study, we have investigated the effects of CaM on ginseng saponin-induced $Ca^{2+}$-activated $Cl^{-}$ current responses in Xenopus oocytes. Intraoocyte injection of CaM inhibited ginseng saponin-induced $Ca^{2+}$-activated $Cl^{-}$ current enhancement, whereas co-injection of calmidazolium, a CaM antagonist, with CaM blocked CaM action. The inhibitory effect of CaM on ginseng saponin-induced $Ca^{2+}$-activated $Cl^{-}$ current enhancement was dose- and time-dependent, with an $IC_{50} of 14.9\pm3.5 {\mu}M$. The inhibitory effect of CaM on saponin's activity was maximal after 6 h of intraoocyte injection of CaM, and after 48 h the activity of saponin recovered to control level. The half-recovery time was calculated to be $16.7\pm4.3 h$. Intraoocyte injection of CaM inhibited $Ca^{2+}$-induced $Ca^{2+}$-activated $Cl^{-}$ current enhancement and also attenuated $IP_{3}$-induced $Ca^{2+}$-activated $Cl^{-}$ current enhancement. $Ca^{2+}$/CaM kinase II inhibitor did not inhibit CaM-caused attenuation of ginseng saponin-induced $Ca^{2+}$-activated $Cl^{-}$ current enhancement. These results suggest that CaM regulates ginseng saponin effect on $Ca^{2+}$-activated $Cl^{-}$ current enhancement via $Ca^{2+}$-independent manner.
