This paper describes the CIREX(CIRcuit EXtractor), an automated CMOS circuit extraction program which provides SPICE2 input file by computing circuit connectivity and transistor dimensions from the CIF file. The CIREX also computes parasitic capacitance and resistance which makes it a valuable tool for timing analysis and detailed circuit simulation. A lattice model is used to calculate the interconnection resistances and substrate capacitances which can be replaced, as an option, by a node model for the worst case timing analysis of the circuit.

This paper proposes a two-layer channel routing algorithm using the division of signal nets in LSI/VLSI layout design. To solve the vertical constraint problem, the doglegging method is used. Although signal net division and the dogleg are used, the routing is accomplished within local channel density and the increase in vias is repressed by assining the vertical segments to the metal layer and the horizontal segments to the poly layer. The algorithm was implemented on a VAX 11/780 computer. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is proved by appling this algorithm to Deutch's difficult example.

This study investigates thermal and mechanical characterization of environmental barrier coating on the $SiC_f-SiC$ composites. The spherical environmental barrier coating (EBC) powders are prepared using a spray drying process for flowing easily during coating process. The powders consisting of mullite and 12 wt% of Ytterbium silicate are air plasma sprayed on the Si bondcoat on the LSI SiC fiber reinforced SiC composite substrate for protecting the composites from oxidation and water vapor reaction. We vary the process parameter of spray distance during air plasma spray of powders, 100, 120 and 140 mm. After that, we performed the thermal durability tests by thermal annealing test at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 100hr and thermal shock test from $1200^{\circ}C$ for 3000 cycles. As a result, the interface delamination of EBC never occur during thermal durability tests while stable cracks are prominent on the coating layer. The crack density and crack length depend on the spray distance during coating. The post indentation test indicates thermal tests influence on the indentation load-displacement mechanical behavior.

$C_{x}F_{y}$ polymer film was deposited in rf and dc Fluorinert vapor ($C_{7}F_{16}$) plasmas. In the plasma phase, the spatial distribution of optical emission spectra and the temporal concentration of decomposed species were monitored, and kinetics of the $C_{7}F_{16}$ decomposition process was discussed. Deposition of $C_{x}F_{y}$ film has been tried on substrates of stainless steel, glass, molybdenum and silicon wafers at room temperature in the vapor pressures of 40 and 100 Pa. The films deposited in the rf plasma showed excellent electrical properties as an insulator for multi-layered interconnection of deep-submicron LSI, i.e. the low dielectric constant ∼2.0, the dielectric strength ∼2 MV/cm and the high deposition rate ∼100nm/min at 100W input power.

We implemented a CD signal processor operated on a CAV 48-speed CD-ROM drive into a VLSI. The CD signal processor is a mixed mode monolithic IC including servo-processor, data recovery, data-processor, and I-bit DAC. For servo signal processing, we included a DSP core, while, for CAV mode playback, we adopted a PLL with a wide recovery range. Data processor (DP) was designed to meet the yellow book specification.［2］So, the DP block consists of EFM demodulator, C1/C2 ECC block, audio processor and a block transferring data to an ATAPI chip. A modified Euclid's algorithm was used as a key equation solver for the ECC block To achieve the high-speed decoding, the RS decoder is operated by a pipelined method. Audio playability is increased by playing a CD-DA disc at the speed of 12X or 16X. For this, subcode sync and data are processed in the same way as main data processing. The overall performance of IC is verified by measuring a transfer rate from the innermost area of disc to the outermost area. At 48-speed, the operating frequency is 210 ㎒, and this chip is fabricated by 0.35 um STD90 cell library of Samsung Electronics.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects a music group therapy program has on cognitive function and life satisfaction. We targeted the elderly who are receiving service at a daycare center. This study monitored seventeen elderly subjects who were available for language communication, walking, and defecation function even if the subject had a slight mind-body function disorder based on using the service of the daycare facilities. The subjects visited each of the welfare centers one week prior to the Korean classical music group therapy program. We conducted a pre-test of MMSE-K(Mini-Mental State Examination, Korean version) modified by Park and Gwon(1989). We also supplemented the MMSE developed by Folstein(1975) and LSI-A(Life Satisfaction Index) for the elderly developed by Neugarten, Havighurst and Tobin(1961). We conducted the Korean classical music group therapy program for 15 sessions at 50 minutes each for 1~2 times a week from July 9 to September 13, 2013 at the daycare center for OO senior welfare center. The welfare center belongs to the experimental group, excluding the OO general welfare center, which is the control group. Finally, we carried out the post-test of the MMSE-K and LSI-A in the same manner as the pre-test. We carried out the post-test on July 17, 2013, 4 days after concluding the Korean classical music group therapy program. A t-test was used in order to analyze the differences in cognitive function and life satisfaction according to each group. We used SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. This study has significance by proving that the use of Korean classical music is conducive in the improvement of cognitive function and life satisfaction of the elderly at the daycare facilities. Also, we presented the actual contents of the study to the clinical field.

A 24-year-old female with primary amenorrhea was referred for a chromosome study. The karyotype of the patient was 46,X,der(X) under initial GTG-banding analysis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis with an LSI Kallmann (KAL) region probe [probes for Xp22.3(KAL) and CEP(X) for control] was carried out. The abnormal chromosome was KAL- and CEP(X)${\times}2$. In addition, interphase FISH analysis revealed the patient to be mosaic for two different cell lines: 90% of cells had three signals and 10% of the cells had only one signal for CEP(X). Based on these results, the karyotype of the patient was 45,X/46,X,psu idic(X)(p22.1), which is partial trisomy for Xqter${\rightarrow}$Xp22.1 and partial monosomy for Xpter${\rightarrow}$Xp22.1. This karyotype was considered a variant of Turner syndrome. In summary, Idic(X) and low-level mosaicism was successfully characterized by FISH analysis with a CEP(X) probe.

Using a current-mode multiple reset, a current-to-voltage(I-V) converter with a wide dynamic range was produced. The converter consists of a trans-impedance amplifier(TIA), an analog-to-digital converter(ADC), and an N-bit counter. The digital output of the I-V converter is composed of higher N bits and lower bits, obtained from the N-bit counter and the ADC, respectively. For an input current that has departed from the linear region of the TIA, the counter increases its digital output, this determines a reset current which is subtracted from the input current of the I-V converter. This current-mode reset is repeated until the input current of the TIA lies in the linear region. This I-V converter is realized using 0.35 ${\mu}m$ LSI technology. It is shown that the proposed I-V converter can increase the maximum input current by a factor of $2^N$ and widen the dynamic range by $6^N$. Additionally, the I-V converter is successfully applied to a photometric sensor.

The processing efficiency of the special purpose hardware which is designed and implemented for the FFT caculation was investigated in this paper. This hardware equipment was consisted of LSI chips of four high speed multiplier and adde $r_stractor, and was interfaced with the 16bit microcomputer(NEC PC-9801E). The FFT processing time by this hardware equipment was improved approximately 4.8 times by the co-processor(Intel C8087-3).3).

최근 LSI speed의 고속화에 따라, SSN (Simultaneous Switching Noise)이 매우 큰 문제가 되고 있다. 이에 PDN에 대한 많은 해결책들이 제시되고 있으나 가장 저비용 고효율을 지향할 수 있는 방법이 현재 사용되고 있는 유기기판에 Capacitor를 내장하여 로 사용하는 방법이다. Decoupling capacitor를 두께가 밟은 유기기판에 구현하기 위해서는 유전율이 큰 물질을 사용하는 것이 좋은데 본 연구에서는 $BaTiO_3$를 epoxy 에 혼합하여 10um 두께의 필름으로 제작한 후 유기기판 제조 공정에 사용하여 유기기판을 구현하였다. 이렇게 구현된 capacitor 내장 유기기판을 2 stub의 간단한 회로를 구현하여 유전율 등을 측정하였으며, 고주파 전산모사를 통하여 capacitor의 용량 변화에 따른 고주파 특성의 변화를 연구하였다.
