In this paper, scaling down characteristics of vertical channel phase random access memory are investigated with device simulator and finite element analysis simulator. Electrical properties of select transistor are obtained by device simulator and those of phase change material are obtained by finite element analysis simulator. From the fusion of both data, scaling properties of vertical channel phase change random access memory (VPCRAM) are considered with ITRS roadmap. Simulation of set reset current are carried out to analyze the feasibility of scaling down and compared with values in ITRS roadmap. Simulation results show that width and length ratio of the phase change material (PCM) is key parameter of scaling down in VPCRAM. Thermal simulation results provide the design guideline of VPCRAM. Optimization of phase change material in VPCRAM can be achieved by oxide sidewall process optimization.

Due to high specific strength and low density, AZ series magnesium alloys have been receiving high interest as a lightweight material. However, their industrial application is limited due to the phenomenon that the strength decreases at elevated temperature by the occurrence of softening effect because of the Mg17Al12 phase decomposition. To solve this problem, many research were conducted to increase the high-temperature strength by forming a thermal stable second-phase component by adding new elements to the AZ magnesium. Especially, adding Ca to AZ magnesium has been reported that Ca forms the new second-phase. However, studies about the analysis of decomposition or precipitation temperature, formation composition, and components to understand the formation behavior of these precipitated phases are still insufficient. Therefore, the effect of Ca addition to AZ61 on the phase change and microstructure of the alloy during annealing was investigated. As a result of analysis of the initial and heat-treated specimen, AZ61 formed α-Mg matrix and precipitated phase of Mg17Al12, and AZX611 formed one more type of precipitated phase, Al2Ca. Also, Al2Ca was thermal stable at high temperatures. And after annealing, the laves phase was decomposed to under 10 ㎛ size and distributed in matrix.

A $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ nanowire (GST NW) phase change memory device is investigated with Joule heating electrodes. GST is the most promising phase change materials, thus has been studied for decades but atomic structure transition in the phase-change area of single crystalline phase-change material has not been clearly investigated. We fabricated a phase change memory (PCM) device consisting of GST NWs connected with WN electrodes. The GST NW has switching performance with the reset/set resistance ratio above $10^3$. We directly observed the changes in atomic structure between the ordered hexagonal close packed (HCP) structure and disordered amorphous phase of a reset-stop GST NW with cross-sectional STEM analysis. Amorphous areas are detected at the center of NW and side areas adjacent to heating electrodes. Direct imaging of phase change area verified the atomic structure transition from the migration and disordering of Ge and Sb atoms. Even with the repeated phase transitions, periodic arrangement of Te atoms is not significantly changed, thus acting as a template for recrystallization. This result provides a novel understanding on the phase-change mechanism in single crystalline phase-change materials.

In this paper, phase noise analysis result for 2.4 GHz PLL(phase locked loop) using SPD(sample phase detector) is proposed. It can be used for high performance frequency synthesizer's LO(local oscillator) to extend output frequency range or for LO of offset PLL to reduce a division rate or for clock signal of DDS(direct digital synthesizer). Before manufacturing, theoretical estimation of PLL's phase noise performance should be performed. In order to calculate phase noise of PLL using SPD, Leeson model is used for modeling phase noise of VCO(voltage controlled oscillator) and OCXO(ovened crystal oscillator). After theoretically analyzing phase noise of PLL, optimized loop filter bandwidth was determined. And then, phase noise of designed loop filter was calculated to find suitable OP-Amp. Also, the calculated result of phase noise was compared with the measured one. The measured phase noise of PLL was -130 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz.

This study was conducted to investigate the running motion in the max-velocity phase(150-160m) and the fatigue phase(350-360m) during 400m sprint by performed elementary school athletes. Eighteen elementary school male athletes who achieved at least the 3rd place in the sprint at the Korea Gangwon-Do elementary school track and field meetings during 2004 and 2005 were selected as subjects. The running motions performed by the subjects were recorded using two 8mm high speed cameras at the nominal speed of 100 frames per second. The Direct Linear Transformation technique was adopted from the beginning of filming to the final stage of data extraction. KWON 3D motion analysis package program was used to compute the 3 Dimensional coordinates, smoothing factor in which lowpass filtering method was used and cutoff frequency was 6.0 Hz. The movement patterns during foot touchdown and takeoff for the running stride were related with the biomechanical consideration. Within the limitations of this study it is concluded: In order to increase running velocity, several conditions must be fullfilled at the instant of leg touchdown and takeoff during the fatigue phase(350-360m). First, the body C.O.G(Center of Gravity) height should be raised at the instant of leg touchdown and takeoff during the fatigue phase. Second, the foot contact time should be shortened and the takeoff distance should be increased at the foot takeoff during the fatigue phase. Third, the shank angular velocity with respect to a transverse axis through the center of gravity should be increased during the leg touchdown and takeoff in the fatigue phase. Forth, the active landing style described as clawing the ground with the sole of the foot should be performed during the leg touchdown and takeoff in the fatigue phase) phase. Fifth, In order to increase running velocity in the fatigue phase while taking a slightly greater leg knee angle and body lean angle within the range of the subject's running motion during the fatigue phase would result in greater flight distance.

Objective: It is to find factors related to stability through analysis of plantar pressure factors according to the level of instability when performing Snatch. Method: Foot pressure analysis was performed while 10 weightlifters performed 80% of the highest level of Snatch, and motion was classified and analyzed in 3 grades according to the level of instability. Results: First, in Bad Motion, the movement distance of the pressure center in the direction of ML and AP was larger significantly in Phase 2. Second, in Phase 2, the number of zero-crossing in the AP direction was larger statistically significantly in Good Motion. Third, in the bad motion in Phase 3, the number of zero-crossing in the ML direction showed a significantly larger value. Fourth, in Phase 4, it was found that the more stable the lock out motion, the greater the activity of foot controlling in the left and right directions. Fifth, Phase 3, the greater the Maximum/Mean foot pressure value, the more stable the pulling action. Sixth, in Phase 2, the foot pressure was concentrated with a wide distribution in the midfoot and rearfoot. Seventh, the triggering number of the forefoot region was small in the last pull phase. Eighth, the number of triggers in the toe area was significantly higher during Good Motion in Phase 4. Conclusion: Summarizing the factors of instability in Snatch, there was no significant difference in Phase 1 for each condition. In order to enhance the stability in Phase 2, the sensory control ability in the AP direction is required, and focusing the foot pressing motion with a wide distribution in the middle and rear parts increases the instability. In Phase 3, it was found that the more unstable, the more sensory control activity was performed in the ML direction, the stronger the forefoot pressing action should be performed for a stable Snatch. In Phase 4, It is important that the feet sensory control activity in ML directions and the control ability of the toes in order to have stable Lock out motion.

In this paper, the necessity for the identification of the absolute phase value is introduced and analyzed for a particular conductor line of a 3-phase type distribution network and the recent methods are also introduced. For the determination of the exact phase value for a specific point in the line, as compared with the phase reference point, the measured phase value must be within a range of ${\pm}60[^{\circ}]$. However, the phase of a particular point can fluctuate depending on the line constant, transformer wiring method, line length, line amperage, etc. A theoretical formulation such as Simulink modeling and analysis for a distribution network are conducted for the identification of phase at a specific point in the line. In particular, through evaluating the effects of unbalanced current loads at the time of determination of the phase value, the limitations of the present method for the determination of phases is described.

The microstructure of Ni-YSZ composite as an anode of SOFC was investigated as a function of Ni content(10-70 vol%) in order to examine the correlation between microstructural-and electrical property. Image analysis based on quantitative microscopy theory was performed to quantify the microstructural property. We could get the informations about the size and distribution, contiguity and interfacial area of each phase or between the phases from the image analysis. According to the image analysis, contiguity between the same phae was mainly dependent on the amount of the phase while the contiguity between different phases was additionally influenced by the microstructural changes, especailly by the coarsening of the Ni phase. The whole length of pores perimeter was increased as Ni content increased, which indicated the overall microstructural evolution was mostly related with the coarsening of Ni phase. Ni-Ni interfacial area was also gradually increased as Ni content increased but controlled by pore phase at low Ni content region and by YSZ phase at intermediate Ni content region. These quantified microstructural properties were used to characterize the electrical properties of Ni-YSZ composite.
