수소화된 비정질 실리콘 박막을 이용한 반도체는 현재 태양전지, 트랜지스터, 매트릭스 배열 및 이미지 센서 등의 분야에서 이용되고 있다. 자세히 이야기 하면, 여러 가지의 광전효과 물질에 대한 특성이 있으며, 가시광선영역에 대하여 > $10^5cm^{-1}$이상의 매우 높은 광흡수계수와 낮은 온도를 갖는 증착공정 등이 있다. 박막의 밴드갭은 약 1.6~1.8eV로서 태양전지의 흡수층과 passivation층으로 적절하다. 여러 가지 종류의 태양전지 중 비정질 실리콘 박막/결정질 실리콘 기판의 구조로 이루어진 이종접합 태양전지는 저온에서 공정이 가능한 대표적인 것으로서 HIT(Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer)구조로 산요사에 의해 제안된 것이다. 이것은 결정질 실리콘 기판과 도핑된 비정질 실리콘 박막사이에 얇은 진성층 비정질실리콘 박막을 삽입함으로서, 캐리어 전송을 좋게하여 실리콘 기판 표면의 passivation효과를 증대시키는 결과를 가지고 온다. 실험실 규모에서는 약 20%이상의 효율을 보이고 있으며, 모듈에서는 19.5%의 높은 효율을 보이고 있어 실리콘 기판을 이용한 고효율 태양전지로서 각광을 받고 있다. 이러한 이종접합 태양전지의 대부분은 단결정 실리콘을 사용하고 있는데, 점차적으로 다결정 실리콘 기판으로 추세가 바뀌고 있어, 여기에 맞는 표면 passivation 공정 및 분석이 필요하다. 본 발표에서는 다결정 실리콘 기판위에 진성층 비정질 실리콘 박막을 유도결합 플라즈마 화학기상 증착법(ICP-CVD)을 이용하여 제조하여 passivation 효과를 분석한다. 일반적으로 ICP는 CCP(coupled charged plasma)에 비해 약 100배 이상 높은 플라즈마 밀도를 가지고 있으며, 이온 충돌같은 표면으로 작용하는 것들이 기존 방식에 비해서 작다라는 장점이 있다. 먼저, 유리기판을 사용하여 ICP-CVD 챔버내에 이송 한 후 플라즈마 파워, 온도 및 가스비(SiH4/H2)에 따른 진성층 비정질 실리콘 박막을 증착 한 후, 밴드갭, 전도도 및 결합구조 등에 대한 결과를 분석한 후, 최적의 값을 가지고 250um의 두께를 갖는 다결정 실리콘을 기판위에 증착을 한다. 두께(1~20nm)에 따라 표면의 passivation이 되는 정도를 QSSPCD(Quasi steady state Photoconductive Decay)법에 의하여 소수캐리어의 이동거리, 재결합율 및 수명 등에 대한 측정 및 분석을 통하여 다결정 실리콘 기판의 passivation effect를 확인한다. 제시된 데이터를 바탕으로 향후 다결정 HIT셀 제조를 통해 태양전지 효율에 대한 특성을 비교하고자 한다.

An important research challenge about the traditional Internet environment is to enable open networking architecture on which end users are able to innovate the Internet based on the technologies of network programmability, virtualization, and federation. The SDN (Software Defined Network) technology that includes OpenFlow protocol specifications, is suggested as a major driver for the open networking architecture, and is closely coupled with the classical Internet (non-SDN). Therefore, it is very important to keep the integrated SDN and non-SDN network infrastructure reliable from the view point of network operators and engineers. Under this background, this paper proposes an operations and management framework for the combined software defined network environment across not only a single-domain network, but also multi-domain networks. The suggested framework is designed to allow SDN controllers and DvNOC systems to interact with each other to achieve sustainable end-to-end user-oriented SDN and non-SDN integrated network environment. Plus, the proposed scheme is designed to apply enhanced functionalities on DvNOC to support four major network failure scenarios over the combined network infrastructure, mainly derived from SDN controllers, SDN devices, and the connected network paths.

The Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program 5 (WASP5) and HEC-2 models have been coupled and applied to find the possibility of simulation of long-term river water quality variation. The EUTR05 as a simulator of water quality simulation in WASPS model was used to simulate the water quality variables in the downstream of Geum-River from Daechung multi-purpose dam during the dry period. The water quality and flow rate conditions have been measured at the stage measurement stations located in the downstream of Geum-River from Daechung dam in December, 1998 and January and March, 1999. The water quality simulation model was calibrated with January data of 1999, and verified with December data of 1998 and March data of 1999. The trend of longitudinal variation of water quality variables simulated by model is consistent with that of measured water quality constituents except chlorophyll-a, $BOD_5,\;NH_3-N\;and\;PO_4-P$ simulated with March data of 1999. Furthennore, the chlorophyll a concentration in the mainstream of Geum-River was simulated by changing the concentrations of $PO_4-P$ and/or $NH_4-N$ flowing into the mainstream of Geum-River from Gabcheon and Mihocheon. The variation of chlorophyll a concentration in the mainstream was almost ignorable except only when $NH_3-N\;and\;PO_4-P$ concentrations decreased by 70% flow into the mainstream from Gabcheon and Mihocheon.

The demand for electric motor fuel cells has surged in the automotive industry, leading to a recent increase in the demand for square aluminum cans used as fuel cell battery casings. The air vent located on the bottom of the rectangular battery casing prevents large explosions by intermittent pressure release prior to the accumulation of abnormally high pressures. Conventionally, the square cup battery casing is produced via six-step deep drawing, with the outer shape of the vent being manufactured by welding to the square battery casing. On the other hand, this study directly incorporated the air vent outlet into the bottom surface of the rectangular casing. The product of a coupled finite element analysis technique applying the thickness and contour generated from the square cup multi-step deep drawing formation analysis was used as the forging input shape. The results yielded increased prediction accuracy and the advanced prediction of defects, such as swelling and fracture. Based on the results of the initial analyses, two of the generated forging shapes were determined to be suitable, with the optimal forging shape being determined by molding analysis. The results presented here were validated by mold fabrication and a subsequent comparison of the actual and analytical results.

This paper proposes a novel approach to model updating for a large-scale cable-stayed bridge based on ambient vibration tests coupled with a hybrid metaheuristic search algorithm. Vibration measurements are carried out under excitation sources of passing vehicles and wind. Based on the measured structural dynamic characteristics, a finite element (FE) model is updated. For long-span bridges, ambient vibration test (AVT) is the most effective vibration testing technique because ambient excitation is freely available, whereas a forced vibration test (FVT) requires considerable efforts to install actuators such as shakers to produce measurable responses. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a famous metaheuristic algorithm applied successfully in numerous fields over the last decades. However, PSO has big drawbacks that may decrease its efficiency in tackling the optimization problems. A possible drawback of PSO is premature convergence leading to low convergence level, particularly in complicated multi-peak search issues. On the other hand, PSO not only depends crucially on the quality of initial populations, but also it is impossible to improve the quality of new generations. If the positions of initial particles are far from the global best, it may be difficult to seek the best solution. To overcome the drawbacks of PSO, we propose a hybrid algorithm combining GA with an improved PSO (HGAIPSO). Two striking characteristics of HGAIPSO are briefly described as follows: (1) because of possessing crossover and mutation operators, GA is applied to generate the initial elite populations and (2) those populations are then employed to seek the best solution based on the global search capacity of IPSO that can tackle the problem of premature convergence of PSO. The results show that HGAIPSO not only identifies uncertain parameters of the considered bridge accurately, but also outperforms than PSO, improved PSO (IPSO), and a combination of GA and PSO (HGAPSO) in terms of convergence level and accuracy.

As we perceive the world as 3-dimensional through our two eyes, we can extract 3-dimensional information from stereo images obtained from two or more cameras. Since stereo images have a large amount of data, with recent advances in digital video coding technology, efficient compression algorithms have been developed for stereo images. In order to compress stereo images and to obtain 3-D information such as depth, we find disparity vectors by using disparity estimation algorithm generally utilizing pixel differences between stereo pairs. However, it is not unusual to have stereo images having different intensity values for several reasons, such as incorrect control of the iris of each camera, disagreement of the foci of two cameras, orientation, position, and different characteristics of CCD (charge-coupled device) cameras, and so on. The intensity differences of stereo pairs often cause undesirable problems such as incorrect disparity vectors and consequent low coding efficiency. By compensating intensity differences between left and right images, we can obtain higher coding efficiency and hopefully reduce the perceptual burden of brain to combine different information incoming from two eyes. We propose several methods of intensity compensation such as local intensity compensation, global intensity compensation, and hierarchical intensity compensation as very simple and efficient preprocessing tool. Experimental results show that the proposed algerian provides significant improvement in coding efficiency.

In chip plating, several parameters must be taken into consideration. Current density, solution concentration, pH, solution temperature, components volume, chip and media ratio, barrel geometrical shape were most likely found to have an effect to the process yields. The 3 types of barrels utilized in chip plating industry are the conventional rotating barrel. vibrational barrel (vibarrel), and the centrifugal type. Conventional rotating barrel is a close type and is commonly used. The components inside the barrel are circulated by the barrel's rotation at a horizontal axis. Process yield has known to have higher thickness deviation. The vibrational barrel is an open type which offers a wide exposure to electrolyte resulting to a stable thickness deviation. It rotates in a vertical axis coupled with multi-vibration action to facilitate mixed up and easy transportation of components, The centrifugal barrel has its plated work centrifugally compacted against the cathode ring for superior electrical contact with simultaneous rotary motion. This experiment has determined the effect of barrel vibration intensity to the plating thickness distribution. The procedures carried out in the experiment involved the overall plating process., cleaning, rinse, Nickel plating, Tin-Lead plating. Plating time was adjusted to meet the required specification. All other parameters were maintained constant. Two trials were performed to confirm the consistency of the result. The thickness data of the experiment conducted showed that the average mean value obtained from higher vibrational intensity is nearer to the standard mean. The distribution curve shown has a narrower specification limits and it has a reduced variation around the target value, Generally, intensity control in vi-barrel facilitates mixed up and easy transportation of components, However, it is desirable to maintain an optimum vibration intensity to prevent solution intrusion into the chips' internal electrode. A cathodic reaction can occur in the interface of the external and internal electrode. $2HD{\;}+{\;}e{\;}{\rightarrow}20H{\;}+{\;}H_2$ Hydrogen can penetrate into the body and create pressure which can cause cracks. At high intensity, the chip's motion becomes stronger, its contact between each other is delayed and so plating action is being controlled. However, the strong impact created by its collision can damage the external electrode's structure thereby resulting to bad plating condition. 1 lot of chip was divided into two equal partion. Each portion was loaded to the same barrel one after the other. Nickel plating and tin-lead plating was performed in the same station. Portion A maintained the normal barrel vibration intensity and portion B vibration intensity was increased two steps higher. All other parameters, current, solution condition were maintained constant. Generally, plating method find procedures were carried out in a best way to maintained the best plating condition. After plating, samples were taken out from each portion. molded and polished. Plating thickness was investigated for both. To check consistency of results. 2nd trial was done now using different lot of another characteristics.
