We present high aspect ratio air-core solenoid inductors with $100{\mu}m\;and\;200{\mu}m$ tall via structures on Pyrex wafer. The effect of various parameters such as different number of turns, via heights, pitch distance between turns on inductor's radio frequency (RF) characteristics have been studied. The highest Q factor we obtained from various solenoid inductors is 72.8 at 9.7 GHz, which was produced by a 3-turn inductor.

In this study, electrical properties of multilayer piezoelectric transformer sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ using pure Ag internel electrode was investigated. This multilayer piezoelectric transformer was fabricated as a ring-dot type. The multilayer piezoelectric transformer should have hight electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) and electromechanical qualiy factor ($Q_m$) in order to increase the efficiency of energy conversion between electrical and mechanical energy. The maximum values of $k_p$ and $Q_m$ showed 0.552 and 1320, respectively.

The effect of non-stoichimetry and sintering temperature on the magnetic properties of materials in the system $Ni_{0.39}Zn_{0.61}Fe_{2.0+x}O_4$ have been investigated. The value of x used in initial weighing of oxides were varied from -0.04 to -0.12. The value of x, however, appears to be from +0.04 to -0.04 after ferrite powder preparation due to iron pick up during ball mill mixing and grinding. The densities of specimens which were deficientinrion were higher than those with excess ion. Specimens with near stoichiometric composition showed maximum initial permeability an dminimum coercivity whereas high values of quality factor (Q) were observed in iron deficient specimens. The quality factor decreased monotonically with increasing sintering temperature, but the permeability showed maxima with increasing sintering temperature. Thus highest value of figure of merit $\mu$Q was obtained in composition $Ni_{0.39}Zn_{0.61}Fe_{1.98O4}$ sintered at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs. in an air atmosphere.

In the paper, we confirmed improvement Noise figure of the entire RF front-end using spiral inductor with PGS(Patterned Ground Shield) and current bleeding techniques. LNA design is to achieve simultaneous noise and input matching. Spiral inductor in input circuit of LNA inserted PGS for betterment of Q-factor. we modeling inductor using EM simulator, so compared with inductor of TSMC 0.18um. We designed and simulation the optimum structure of PGS using Taguchi's method. We confirmed enhancement of noise figure at LNA after substituted for inductor with PGS. Mixer designed using current bleeding techniques for reduced noise. We designed LNA using inductor with PGS and Mixer using current bleeding techniques, so confirmed improvement of noise figure.

We demonstrated 5.12-Tb/s($l28 ch \times 43 Gb/s$) WDM transmission over 200 km of medium dispersion fiber. The spectral efficiency was 0.8-(bits/s)/Hz. After transmission, the average Q-factor was measured to be 15.2 dB.

The paper presents some methods to improve characteristics of film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) devices. The FBAR devices were fabricated on Bragg reflectors. Thermal treatments were done by sintering and/or annealing processes. The measurement showed a considerable improvement of return loss (S$_{11}$) and quality factor (Q$_{s/p}$). These thermal techniques seem very promising for enhancing FBAR resonance performance.

In this paper, we emphasize the advantage of thermal annealing treatments for improvement characteristics of film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) devices. The FBAR devices were fabricated on multi-layer thin films, namely, Bragg reflectors. Sintering and/or annealing processes were applied in our experiments. The measurements confirm once again a considerable improvement of return loss $(S_{11})$ and quality factor $(Q_{s/p})$. these thermal treatment techniques are really promising for enhancing performance of FBAR resonators in industry fabrication of RF devices.

We propose a novel ring structure based on the stadium-shaped ring resonator (SSRR) with dual photonic crystal microcavity (DPCM) for biosensor and analyzed the sensing characteristics. The Q-factor of the photonic crystal microcavity (PCM) can be significantly enhanced when the PCM or DPCM has the same resonance condition as the SSRR. The simulation results show that the Q-factor of the SRR with DPCM was increased by three times in comparison with single PCM structure. We also defined a mutual interference between two PCMs. Assuming a detectable spectral resolution of 10 picometers, a refractive index resolution of $3.03\times10-5$ can be measured on the SSRR-DPCM.

Since the dimensions of MEMS gyroscope are very small compared to those of conventional gyroscope, MEMS gyroscope should be able to measure charge of pico-coulomb caused by very small change of electrodes gap. However, feed-through signal from driving electrodes to the sensing electrodes due to the electromagnetic coupling is much greater than the sensing signal, which degrades the sensitivity of MEMS gyroscope. This paper introduces the feed-through noise canceling technique using dummy port and confirms the feasibility of feed-through noise canceling experimentally. Experimental results shows that, when driving signal is 6 Vpp, 30 kHz, feed-through signal of vacuum packaged Si Gyroscope decreases from -53.2 dBm to -77.1 dBm by using feed-through reduction technique. Q-factor that could not be measured without noise reduction is measured to be about 2500 and resonance frequency to be 7.018 kHz.

Transmission spectra are measured from waveguide-coupled ring resonators fabricated with SiN_x on SiO₂. By using ring resonators with various radii and several index contrasts, the behavior of the quality factors is investigated. As the index contrast decreases, the dominant loss is from scattering for a large resonator, while that changes from scattering loss to bending loss for a small resonator. We verify that the quality factor can be drastically improved by reducing the index contrast in large ring resonators.
