Radicals of Korean characters consist of some strokes, and complete letters are comprised of a combination of radicals. During the process of combining strokes and radicals, it requires a lot of effort as the size and the position of the components can be changed. Unlike this, METAFONT can improve the efficiency in the production process of fonts by changing its parameters. It also provides a system which can easily transform size and position of the strokes and radicals. We propose a structural Korean font generator which allows users to modify parameters of letters through METAFONT and generates a variety of fonts automatically. The suggested Korean font generator can be applied to font embedding and font editor.

UHV-LCVD system was constructed for high quality silicon nitride thin film fabrication. This system consisted of a reaction chamber, an introduction chamber with sample load lock entry, a carbinet for gas manipulation controlling gas flow, a $CO_2$ laser and a Fourier transform mass spectrometer. Although the UHV-LCVD system construction was more sophisticated than low pressure CVD, highly pure thin films were fabricated by controlling gas mixing ratio and flow rate in ultra high vacuum surroundings.

Abstract-Polyimide (PI) thin films were deposited by the ionized cluster beam deposition (ICBD) technique. Imidization and crystallization of PI films were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). PI films deposited under optimum conditions showed a maximum imidization and good crystal structure, which are superior to those of the films fabricated by other techniques.

Recently, the increasing degree of device integration in the fabrication of Si semiconductor devices, etching processes of nano-scale materials and high aspect-ratio (HAR) structures become more important. Due to this reason, etch selectivity control during etching of HAR contact holes and trenches is very important. In this study, The etch selectivity and etch rate of TEOS oxide layer using ACL (amorphous carbon layer) mask are investigated various process parameters in CH2F2/C4F8/O2/Ar plasma during etching TEOS oxide layer using ArF/BARC/SiOx/ACL multilevel resist (MLR) structures. The deformation and etch characteristics of TEOS oxide layer using ACL hard mask was investigated in a dual-frequency superimposed capacitively coupled plasma (DFS-CCP) etcher by different fHF/ fLF combinations by varying the CH2F2/ C4F8 gas flow ratio plasmas. The etch characteristics were measured by on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) And X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). A process window for very high selective etching of TEOS oxide using ACL mask could be determined by controlling the process parameters and in turn degree of polymerization. Mechanisms for high etch selectivity will discussed in detail.

현존하는 초경도 박막물질 중 입방정 질화붕소(cBN)은 철계 금속과의 반응안정성 및 낮은 온도에서의 합성가능성 등 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 필수로 수반되는 이온충돌 효과로 인해 박막 내 높은 잔류응력으로 인한 박리 현상으로 응용이 어려운 실정에 있다. 현재까지 이를 개선하기 위해 수소를 첨가하여 박막의 잔류응력을 줄이는 연구, B4C 타겟을 이용하여 B-C-N 의 gradient layer를 설계하여 점진적으로 잔류응력을 감소시키는 연구 등 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MOCVD로 만들어진 NCD(Nano Crystalline Diamond) buffer layer 위에 RF-UBM(unbalanced magnetron) PVD를 이용하여 BN을 증착시켰다. hBN 타겟을 이용하여 2mTorr에서 400W 의 RF 파워를 사용하여 기판에 RF bias를 인가해 실험하였다. cBN 박막과 기판의 lattice mismatch 를 줄이기 위해서 본 연구소에서 제공되는 NCD 기판을 사용하였으며, 다이아몬드 기판과 cBN 박막의 1:1 에피성장을 이루기 위해 상온에서부터 800도까지 온도 변화를 주어 cBN을 증착시켰다. FTIR(Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy)로 $sp^2$구조인 hBN과 $sp^3$구조인 cBN의 성장유무를 확인하였으며, FTIR peak intensity 차이로 박막내 cBN의 함량을 계산하였고, Scratch test로 박막과 기판사이의 밀착력을 상대적으로 비교하였으며, 격자의 에픽성장을 확인하기 위해 FIB 의 작업을 거쳐 HRTEM 으로 각 위치별로 SAD pattern를 이용하여 성장거동을 확인하였다.

Silicon oxynitride (SiON) was deposited for gas barrier film on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using octamethylycyclodisiloxane (Si4O4C8H24, OMCTS) precursor by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) at low temperature. The ion flux and substrate temperature were measured by oscilloscope and thermometer. The chemical bonding structure and barrier property of films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), respectively. The deposition rate of films increases with RF bias and nitrogen dilution due to increase of dissociated precursor and nitrogen ion incident to the substrate. In addition, we confirmed that the increase of nitrogen dilution and RF bias reduced WVTR of films. Because, on the basis of FT-IR analysis, the increase of the nitrogen gas flow rate and RF bias caused the increase of the C=N stretching vibration resulting in the decrease of macro and nano defects.

The fast Fourier transform (FFT) is a good method to estimate spectral density, but the frequency resolution is limited to the sampling window, and thus the precise characteristics of the spectral density for short signals are not clear. To solve the limitation, a multiple band-pass filter was introduced to estimate the precise time course of the spectral density for flash visual evoked potentials (VEPs). Signals were recorded during -200 and 600 ms using balanced noncephalic electrodes, and sampled at 1 K Hz in 12 bits. With 1 Hz and 10 ms resolutions, spectral density was estimated between 10 and 100 Hz. Background powers at the alpha-and beta-bands were high over the posterior scalp, and powers around 200ms were evoked at the same bands over the same region, corresponding to P110 and N165 of VEPs. normalized's spectral density showed evoked powers around 200 ms and suppressed powers following the evoked powers over the posterior scalp. The evoked powers above the 20Hz band were not statistically significant. However, the gamma band was significantly evoked intra-individually; details in the gamma bands were varied among the subjects. Details of spectral density were complicated even for a simple task such as watching flashes; both synchronization and desynchronization occurred with different distributions and different time courses.

This paper proposes a vehicle license plate detection method in real road environments using 8 bit-MCT features and a landmark-based Adaboost method. The proposed method allows identification of the potential license plate region, and generates a saliency map that presents the license plate's location probability based on the Adaboost classification score. The candidate regions whose scores are higher than the given threshold are chosen from the saliency map. Each candidate region is adjusted by the local image variance and verified by the SVM and the histograms of the 8bit-MCT features. The proposed method achieves a detection accuracy of 85% from various road images in Korea and Europe.

현재 인터넷이 생활의 일부로 자리함으로써 인터넷을 통해 수많은 멀티미디어의 교환이 발생하며, 많은 멀티미디어 서비스가 이루어지고 있다. 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공함에 있어 최근 저작권 관리 및 보호의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이에 따라 멀티미디어 데이터에 대한 암호기술 개발에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으며 카오스 사상에 기반 한 암호화 연구가 최근 연구 추세이다. 본 논문은 MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group) 인코딩 과정에서 1차원 카오스 사상(Map)을 이용하여 인트라 블록을 암호화하는 새로운 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 본 제안 시스템은 MPEG 구조 기반으로 CKD(Chaotic Key Distributor)를 이용하여 확장된 키 값으로 인트라 블록의 0이 아닌 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) 계수를 암호화 하는 방법이다. MPEG 인코딩 과정중 DCT 계수는 양자화를 통해 손실이 발생하더라도 비교적 많은 0값을 생성한다. 이는 RLE(Run Length Encoding) 과정에서 압축 효과를 높일 수 있다. 제안하는 방법은 영상 손실을 감수하고 수행한 양자화 과정의 효과를 유지하기 위하여 0이 아닌 DCT 계수만을 암호화 한다. 실험 결과 원본과 암호화된 MPEG의 크기의 변화는 매우 적으며, 인코딩 시간 또한 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.

Viruses belonging to the Hantavirus genus cause two acute severe illness in humans, i.e., Haemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) and Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome(HPS). Among them, Hantaan virus is one of the most important viruses causing HFRS. Recombinant expression vectors, pKK-NP and pET-NP, with Hantaan viral nucleocapsid gene were constructed, and used to transform Eschericia coli BL21(DE3). Stability of the vectors in the host strain, and effects of some environmental conditions on the expression of nucleocapsid gene were studied. Expression vector, pKK-NP, was very unstable, and the expression level of nucleocapsid gene was very low compared to that of pET-NP. BL21(pET-NP) produced about 100 mg of N protein per liter of culture broth. Induction time did not show any significant difference on the expression level of nucleocapsid gen and cell growth. BL21(pET-NP) culture at 35$^{\circ}C$ showed a little higher expression level than at 30$^{\circ}C$ during growth phase, but reached to the same level at stationary phase. Total expression level was proportional to supplemented glucose concentration of media up to 0.5% along with cell growth, but expression level per unit cell mass was inversely proportional to glucose concentration and maximal when glucose was not supplemented at all.
