The purpose of this study is to obtain strong bond strength at the interface between piezoelectric substrates and semiconductor thin films to be applied for the manufacture of high-performance acoustic wave semiconductor coupled device. For this purpose, we have compared and examined the effects of different surface treatment methods on hydrophile properties at the surface of the piezoelectric substrates. Moreover, we have observed the effect of microwave and laser on the elimination of water molecules at the interface. As for the piezoelectric substrates, dry method for surface treatment was found to be superior in the control of hydrophilicity of the surface compared to wet method. On the other hand, both microwave and laser were found to be effective in the elimination of water molecules in the interface.

Spin-torque oscillators (STO) is a new device that can be used as a tunable microwave source in various wireless devices. Spin-transfer torque effect in magnetic multilayered nanostructure can induce precession of magnetization when bias current and external magnetic field are properly applied, and a microwave signal is generated from that precession. We proposed a semi-empirical circuit-level model of an STO in previous work. In this paper, we present a refined STO model which gives more accuracy by considering physical phenomena in the calculation of effective field. Characteristics of the STO are expressed as functions of external magnetic field and bias current in Verilog-A HDL such that they can be simulated with circuit-level simulators such as Hspice. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

In High-Speed DSP systems, crosstalk between transmission lines of multi-channel can degrade the performance of equipment operations. This paper presents a microwave board to measure multi-channel coaxial cable assembly. The designed board has good performances from DC to 3 GHz, which have improved characteristic impedance, reduced crosstalk by using via fence, and low transmission loss. Using the designed board, we can measure characteristics of DUT(Device Under Test) such as return loss, insertion loss, crosstalk phase delay, and characteristic impedance. The measured results are used to improve performances of a produced coaxial cable assembly.

In this paper, a MEMS silicon package is newly designed, fabricated for HMIC, and characterized for microwave and millimeter-wave device applications. The proposed package is fabricated by using two high resistivity silicon substrates and surface/bulk micromachining technology. It has a good performance characteristic such as -20㏈ of $S_11$/ and -0.3㏈ of $S_21$ up to 20㎓, which is useful in microwave region. It has also better heat transfer characteristics than the commonly used ceramic package. Since the proposed silicon MEMS package is easy to fabricate and wafer level chip scale packaging is also possible, the production cost can be much lower than the ceramic package. Since it will be a promising low-cost package for mobile/wireless applications.

In this paper, the extended finite difference time domain(FDTD) algorithm is applied to carry out full-wave analysis of a microwave amplifier circuit. The active device included in the amplifier is modeled by equivalent current sources. Equivalent current sources are characterizing interaction between electronmagnetic waves and active devices and can be directly incorporated into the FDTD algorithm. To confirm this analysis, an amplifier is implemented. The FDTD simulation shows good agreement with measured results.

During thermal power coal-fired boiler operation, it is very important to detect the pulverized coal concentration in the air pipeline for the boiler combustion stability and economic security. Because the current measurement methods used by power plants are often involved with large measurement errors and unable to monitor the pulverized coal concentration in real-time, a new method is needed. In this paper, a new method based on microwave circular waveguide is presented. High Frequency Electromagnetic Simulation (HFSS) software was used to construct a simulation model for measuring pulverized coal concentration in power plant pipeline. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments were done to find the effective microwave emission frequency, installation angle, the type of antenna probe, antenna installation distance and other important parameters. Finally, field experiment in Jilin Thermal Power Plant proved that with selected parameters, the measuring device accurately reflected the changes in the concentration of pulverized coal.

In this paper, GaN-SBD devices with excellent breakdown voltage and frequency characteristics for use in high-power microwave wireless power transmission has been modeled for PSpice circuit simulation. The RF-DC conversion circuits were simulated and compared with a commercial Si-SBD device. Although the modeled GaN-SBD devices had lower RF-DC conversion efficiency compared to Si-SBD at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz, it was confirmed through PSpice circuit simulations that they can be used sufficiently according to the required application circuit in a high power situation.

본 작품은 학생들의 캡스톤디자인 작품이다. 2019년 코로나 시대가 도래한 후, 사회 전반적으로 많은 변화가 일고 있는데, 특히 5인 이상 집합 금지 및 식당 영업시간 제한 조치 등으로 인하여 외식을 선호했던 가족이나 개인이 집콕하는 시간이 늘면서 홈쿡과 홈베이킹이 대세를 이루게 된 것이다. 본 아이디어는 스마트 기술이 가전에 적용되면서 요리에서도 스마트 기술이 필요하다는 생각에서 출발하였다. 기존의 레시피는 다양한 책과 동영상(유투브) 등으로 소개되기 때문에 요리 방법을 보면서 시간과 소스의 양을 정확히 지키기 어려웠다. 하지만 본 작품에서 소개된 스마트쿡은 자체에 타이머와 저울 기능을 부여함으로써, 요리에 필요한 타이머 기능과 미세 조절 가능한 레시피 소스를 과학적으로 요리할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 이러한 부가 기능을 가진 스마트쿡이 실제로 적용된다면 요리의 시간이 한층 더 재미있고 과학적이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Latching optical switches and optical logic gates AND and OR are demonstrated, for the first time, by the monolithic integration of a vertical cavity lasers with depleted optical thyristor structure, which have not only a low threshold current with 0.65mA, but also a high on/off contrast ratio more than 50dB. By simple operating technique with changing a reference switching voltage, this single device operates as two logic functions, optical logic AND and OR. The thyristor laser fabricated using the oxidation process achieved a high optical output power efficiency and a high sensitivity to the optical input light.

Microwave characteristics of ridge type CPW traveling-wave(TW) electroabsorption modulator and photodetector are affected by the thickness of intrinsic layer, width of guiding layer, and the separation of signal and ground electrodes. These factors are determined effective index of microwave and characteristic impedance due to changing of capacitance(C) and inductance(L) of device. However, conventional equivalent circuit of TW-structure is approximated to microstrip and CPW transmission line by distribution of electric and magnetic fields, respectively. In this paper, we analyzed microwave characteristics of TW-structure and found more accurate value of C and L by using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. These values are adopted circuit element of equivalent circuit. Microwave characteristics obtained by the FDTD and equivalent circuit model show good agreement.
