  • The photosensitive poly-siloxane material used as the passivation layers for the conventional back channel etched (BCE) thin film transistors (TFTs) has been investigated. Through the organic material, the TFT array fabrication process can be reduced and higher aperture ratio can be achieved for higher LCD panel performance. The interface between the organic passivation layer and the back channel of the amorphous active region has been improved by the back channel oxygen treatment and the devices exhibits lower leakage current than the conventional silicon nitride passivation layer of BCE TFTs. The leakage currents between Indium-tin-oxide (ITO) pixels and the TFT devices and its mechanism have also been investigated in this paper.

  • In this paper, I propose an application layer cooperative congestion control scheme for safety message broadcast in vehicular networks, called CMS, that adaptively controls a vehicle's safety message rate and transmit timing based on the channel congestion state. Motivated by the fact that all vehicles should transmit and receive an application layer safety message in a periodic manner, I directly exploit the message itself as a means of estimating the channel congestion state. In particular, vehicles can determine wider network conditions by appending their local channel estimation result onto safety message transmissions and sharing them with each other. In result CMS realizes cooperative congestion control without any modification of the existing MAC protocol. I present extensive NS-3 simulation results which show that CMS outperforms conventional congestion control schemes in terms of the packet collision rate and throughput, especially in a high-density traffic environment.

  • 본 연구는 ZnO-TFT 소자에 Hf의 첨가에 따른 소자 특성 및 게이트 바이어스 스트레스에 대한 특성에 대해 분석을 하였다. Hf-Zn-O 박막은 Hf의 조성이 증가함에 따라 작아지는 grain size로 인해 TFT 소자의 전계효과 이동도와 게이트 바이어스 스트레스에서의 문턱전압의 변화가 더 커지는 것을 확인하였다. 한편, Hf이 14at% 함유된 HZO-TFT에서는 이동도는 현저히 저하되었지만, 게이트 바이어스 스트레스에서의 문턱전압의 변화가 현저히 개선되는 것을 확인하였는데, 이는 Hf의 조성이 증가함에 따라 비정질화 되어 grain boundaries에 의한 trap의 영향이 줄어든 결과를 확인하였다. 또한, 전계효과 이동도와 소자의 안정성을 확보하기 위해, poly-ZnO와 amorphous-HZO로 구성된 다중층 채널 구조를 이용한 TFT소자에서는 전계효과 이동도과 소자의 안정성이 개선된 결과를 보였다. 이는 채널과 게이트 산화물의 interface charge trap의 감소와 back-channel effect가 감소한 결과임을 확인하였다.

  • In this paper, we discuss physical layer security techniques in downlink networks, including eavesdroppers. The main objective of using physical layer security is delivering a perfectly secure message from a transmitter to an intended receiver in the presence of passive or active eavesdroppers who are trying to wiretap the information or disturb the network stability. In downlink networks, based on the random feature of channels to terminals, opportunistic user scheduling can be exploited as an additional tool for enhancing physical layer security. We introduce user scheduling strategies and discuss the corresponding performances according to different levels of channel state information (CSI) at the base station (BS). We show that the availability of CSI of eavesdroppers significantly affects not only the beamforming strategy but also the user scheduling. Eventually, we provide intuitive information on the effect of CSI on the secrecy performance by considering three scenarios: perfect, imperfect, and absence of eavesdropper's CSI at the BS.

  • Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are comprised of wireless mobile nodes characterized by a randomly changing topology, high mobility, availability of geographic position, and fewer power constraints. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising candidate for the physical layer of VANET because of the inherent characteristics of the spectral efficiency and robustness to channel impairments. The susceptibility of OFDM to Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) is a challenging issue. The high mobility of nodes in VANET causes higher Doppler shifts, which results in ICI in the OFDM system. In this paper, a frequency domain com-btype channel estimation was used to cancel out ICI. The channel frequency response at the pilot tones was estimated using a Least Square (LS) estimator. An efficient interpolation technique is required to estimate the channel at the data tones with low interpolation error. This paper proposes a robust interpolation technique to estimate the channel frequency response at the data subcarriers. The channel induced noise tended to degrade the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the system. Parallel concatenated Convolutional codes were used for error correction. At the decoding end, different decoding algorithms were considered for the component decoders of the iterative Turbo decoder. A performance and complexity comparison among the various decoding algorithms was also carried out.

  • This paper is for the simulation design to enhance the breakdown voltage of MHEMTs with an InP-etchstop layer. Gate-recess and channel structures has been simulated and analyzed for the breakdown of the MHEMT devices. The fully removed recess structure at the drain side of MHEMT shows that the breakdown voltage enhances from 2 V to almost 4 V as the saturation current at gate voltage of 0 V is reduced from 90 mA to 60 mA at drain voltage of 2 V. This is because the electron-captured negatively fixed charges at the drain-side interface between the InAlAs barrier and the $Si_3N_4$ passivation layers deplete the InGaAs channel layer more and thus decreases the electron current passing the channel layer and thus the impact ionization in the channel become smaller. In addition, the replaced InGaAs/InP composite channel with the same thickness in the same asymmetrically recessed structure increases the breakdown voltage to 5 V due to the smaller impact ionization and mobility of the InP layer at high drain voltage.

  • NAND flash memory-based SSD needs an internal software, Flash Translation Layer(FTL) to provide traditional block device interface to the host because of its physical constraints, such as erase-before-write and large erase block. However, because useful host-side information cannot be delivered to FTL through the narrow block device interface, SSDs suffer from a variety of problems such as increasing garbage collection overhead, large tail-latency, and unpredictable I/O latency. Otherwise, the new type of SSD, open-channel SSD exposes the internal structure of SSD to the host so that underlying NAND flash memory can be managed directly by the host-level FTL. Especially, I/O data classification by using host-side information can achieve the reduction of garbage collection overhead. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to reduce garbage collection overhead of open-channel SSD by separating the journal from other file data for the journaling filesystem. Because journal has different lifespan with other file data, the Write Amplification Factor (WAF) caused by garbage collection can be reduced. The proposed scheme is implemented by modifying the host-level FTL of Linux and evaluated with both Fio and Filebench. According to the experiment results, the proposed scheme improves I/O performance by 46%~50% while reducing the WAF of open-channel SSDs by more than 33% compared to the previous one.

  • IEEE 802.11n is an ongoing next-generation WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) standard that supports a very high-speed connection with more than 100Mb/s data throughput measured at the MAC(Medium Access Control) layer. Study trends of IEEE 802.11n show two aspects, enhanced data throughput using aggregation among packets in MAC layer, and better data rates adapting MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) in PHY(Physical) layer. But, the former doesn't consider wireless channel and the latter doesn't consider aggregation among packets for reality. Therefore, this paper analyzes data throughput for IEEE 802.11n considering MAC and PHY connection. A-MPDU(Aggregation-MAC Protocol Data Unit) and A-MSDU(Aggregation-MAC Service Unit) is adapted considering multi-service in MAC layer, WLAN MIMO TGn channel using SVD(Singular Value Decomposition) is adapted considering MIMO and wireless channel in PHY layer. Consequently, Simulation results shows throughput between A-MPDU and A-MSDU. Also, We use Ns-2(Network simulator-2) for reality.
