In this paper, we present a design of modem and vocoder digital signal processor (DSP) chips for CDMA mobile station. The modem chip integrates CDMA reverse link modulator, CDMA forward link demodulator and Viterbi decoder. This chip contains 89,000 gates and 29 kbit RAMs, and the chip size is $10 mm{\times}10.1 mm$ which is fabricated using a $0.8{\mu}m$ 2 metal CMOs technology. To carry out the system-level simulation, models of the base station modulator, the fading channel, the automatic gain control loop, and the microcontroller were developed and interfaced with a gate-level description of the modem application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The Modem chip is now successfully working in the real CDMA mobile station on its first fab-out. A new DSP architecture was designed to implement the Qualcomm code exited linear prediction (QCELP) vocoder algorithm in an efficient way. The 16 bit vocoder DSP chip has an architecture which supports direct and immediate addressing modes in one instruction cycle, combined with a RISC-type instruction set. This turns out to be effective for the implementation of vocoder algorithm in terms of performance and power consumption. The implementation of QCELP algorithm in our DSP requires only 28 million instruction per second (MIPS) of computation and 290 mW of power consumption. The DSP chip contains 32,000 gates, 32K ($2k{\times}16\;bit$) RAM, and 240k ($10k{\times}24\;bit$) ROM. The die size is $8.7\;mm{\times}8.3\;mm$ and chip is fabricated using $0.8\;{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

The primary element of machining automation is to maximize the utilization of machine tools, which determines the output and lead-time. In particular, 95% of raw materials for wing ribs are cut into chips and 0.6 ton of chips are generated every hour from each machine tool. In order to verify the chip recycling system that controls the chips from the machines in five-axis FMS line, a simulation of the virtual model is constructed using the QUEST simulation program. The optimum speed of the chip conveyor and its operating conditions that directly affect the efficiency of the FMS line are presented including the chip conveyor speed, the maximum capacity of the hopper, and the number of chip compressors.

An electrode-evaporation technology on both the top and bottom sides of the bare vertical-type single chip separated from the traditional substrate by cooling, was developed for III-nitride vertical-type single chip LEDs with thick GaN epilayer. The post-process of the cooling step was followed by sorting the bare vertical-type single chip LEDs into the holes in a pocket-type shadow mask for deposition of the electrodes at the top and bottom sides of bare vertical-type single chip LEDs without the traditional substrate for electrode evaporation technology for vertical-type single chip LEDs. The variation in size of the hole between the designed shadow mask and the deposited electrodes owing to the use of the designed pocket-type shadow mask is investigated. Furthermore, the electrical and the optical properties of bare vertical-type single chip LEDs deposited with two different shapes of n-type electrodes using the pocket-type shadow mask are investigated to explore the possibility of the e-beam evaporation method.

Cu pillar 범프를 사용한 플립칩 접속부는 솔더범프 접속부에 비해 칩과 기판사이의 거리를 감소시키지 않으면서 미세피치 접속이 가능하기 때문에, 특히 기생 캐패시턴스를 억제하기 위해 칩과 기판사이의 큰 거리가 요구되는 RF 패키지에서 유용한 칩 접속공정이다. 본 논문에서는 칩에는 Cu pillar 범프, 기판에는 Sn 범프를 전기도금하고 이들을 플립칩 본딩하여 Cu pillar 범프 접속부를 형성 한 후, Sn 전기도금 범프의 높이에 따른 Cu pillar 범프 접속부의 접속저항과 칩 전단하중을 측정하였다. 전기도금한 Sn 범프의 높이를 5 ${\mu}m$에서 30 ${\mu}m$로 증가시킴에 따라 Cu pillar 범프 접속부의 접속저항이 31.7 $m{\Omega}$에서 13.8 $m{\Omega}$로 향상되었으며, 칩 전단하중이 3.8N에서 6.8N으로 증가하였다. 반면에 접속부의 종횡비는 1.3에서 0.9로 저하하였으며, 접속부의 종횡비, 접속저항 및 칩 전단하중의 변화거동으로부터 Sn 전기도금 범프의 최적 높이는 20 ${\mu}m$로 판단되었다.

강성도가 서로 다른 polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) 탄성고분자와 flexible printed circuit board (FPCB)로 이루어진 PDMS/FPCB 구조의 강성도 국부변환 신축기판에 $100{\mu}m$ 직경의 Cu/Au 범프를 갖는 Si 칩을 anisotropic conductive adhesive (ACA)를 사용하여 플립칩 본딩 후, ACA내 전도성 입자에 따른 플립칩 접속저항을 비교하였다. Au 코팅된 폴리머 볼을 함유한 ACA를 사용하여 플립칩 본딩한 시편은 $43.2m{\Omega}$의 접속저항을 나타내었으며, SnBi 솔더입자를 함유한 ACA로 플립칩 본딩한 시편은 $36.2m{\Omega}$의 접속저항을 나타내었다. 반면에 Ni 입자를 함유한 ACA를 사용하여 플립칩 본딩한 시편에서는 전기적 open이 발생하였는데, 이는 ACA내 Ni 입자의 함유량이 부족하여 entrap된 Ni 입자가 하나도 없는 플립칩 접속부가 발생하였기 때문이다.

A passive microfluidic delivery system using hydrophobic valving and pneumatic control was devised for microfluidic handling on a chip. The microfluidic metering, cutting, transport, and merging of two liquids on the chip were correctly performed. The error range of the accuracy of microfluid metering was below 4% on a 20 nL scale, which showed that microfluid was easily manipulated with the desired volume on a chip. For a study of the feasibility of biochemical reactions on the chip, a single enzymatic reaction, such as ${\beta}-galactosidase$ reaction, was performed. The detection limit of the substrate, i.e. fluorescein $di-{\beta}-galactopyranoside$ (FDG) of the ${\beta}-galactosidase$ (6.7 fM), was about 76 pM. Additionally, multiple biochemical reactions such as in vitro protein synthesis of enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) were successfully demonstrated at the nanoliter scale, which suggests that our microfluidic chip can be applied not only to miniaturization of various biochemical reactions, but also to development of the microfluidic biochemical reaction system requiring a precise nano-scale control.

The IoT-driven large-scaled systems consist of connected things with on-chip executable embedded software. These light-weighted embedded things have limited hardware space, especially small size of on-chip flash memory. In addition, on-chip embedded software in flash memory is not easy to update in runtime to equip with latest services in IoT-driven applications. It is becoming important to develop light-weighted IoT devices with various software in the limited on-chip flash memory. The remote instruction execution in cloud via IoT connectivity enables to provide high performance software execution with unlimited software instruction in cloud and low-power streaming of instruction execution in IoT edge devices. In this paper, we propose a Cloud-IoT asymmetric structure for providing high performance instruction execution in cloud, still low power code executable thing in light-weighted IoT edge environment using remote instruction execution. We propose a simulated approach to determine efficient partitioning of software runtime in cloud and IoT edge. We evaluated the instruction cloudification using remote instruction by determining the execution time by the proposed structure. The cloud-connected instruction set simulator is newly introduced to emulate the behavior of the processor. Experimental results of the cloud-IoT connected software execution using remote instruction showed the feasibility of cloudification of on-chip code flash memory. The simulation environment for cloud-connected code execution successfully emulates architectural operations of on-chip flash memory in cloud so that the various software services in IoT can be accelerated and performed in low-power by cloudification of remote instruction execution. The execution time of the program is reduced by 50% and the memory space is reduced by 24% when the cloud-connected code execution is used.

Keys to high wiring density semiconductor packages include flip-chip bonding and build-up substrate technologies. The current issues are the establishment of a fine pitch flip-chip bonding technology and a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) substrate technology. In particular, electromigration and thermomigration in fine pitch flipchip joints have been recognized as a major reliability issue. In this paper, electromigration and thermomigration in Cu/Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305)/Cu flip-chip joints and electromigration in Cu/In/Cu flip chip joints are investigated. In the electromigration test, a large electromigration void nucleation at the cathode, large growth of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the anode, a unique solder bump deformation towards the cathode, and the significantly prolonged electromigration lifetime with the underfill were observed in both types of joints. In addition, the effects of crystallographic orientation of Sn on electromigration were observed in the Cu/SAC305/Cu joints. In the thermomigration test, Cu dissolution was accelerated on the hot side, and formation of IMCs was enhanced on the cold side at a thermal gradient of about $60^{\circ}C$/cm, which was lower than previously reported. The rate of Cu atom migration was found comparable to that of electromigration under current conditions.

유전자 알고리즘(GA: Genetic Algorithm)은 다양한 영역에서 NP 문제를 해결하는 방법으로 알려져 있다. GA는 긴 연산 시간을 필요하다는 결점 때문에 최근 GA를 하드웨어로 구현하려는 연구가 주목 받아왔다. 본 논문은 GA의 하드웨어 구현을 위한 전용 원칩 컴퓨터를 제안한다. 제안된 전용 원칩 컴퓨터는16 비트 CPU core와 하드웨어 GA로 구성되어 있다. 기존의 하드웨어 GA는 GA의 처리하는데 있어서 메인 컴퓨터에 의존적이었으나 제안된 전용 원칩 컴퓨터는 메인 컴퓨터에 독립적이다. 또한 기존의 하드웨어 GA는 염색체의 길이가 고정되어 있는 데 비해 제안된 전용 원칩 컴퓨터의 염색체의 길이는 가변이며 16 비트 단위로 Pipeline 처리를 한다. 실험 결과는 제안된 원칩 컴퓨터가 랜덤 비트 동기 회로를 위한 진화 하드웨어 설계에 적용할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.
