This paper presents the design and characterization of wide band ohmic microswitch with an actuation voltage as low as 20~25 V, and a restoring force of 14.1 μN. The design of the proposed switch is primarily composed of an electrostatic actuator, bridge membrane, cantilever (beam) and coplanar waveguide, suspended over the substrate. The analysis shows an insertion loss of −0.002 dB at 1GHz and remains as low as −0.35 dB, even at 100 GHz. The isolation loss of the switch is sustained at −21.09 dB at 100GHz, with a peak value of −99.58 dB at 1 GHz and up-state capacitance of 4 fF. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a series contact switch, which works over a wide bandwidth (DC-100 GHz) and with such a high and sustained isolation, even at high frequencies and with an excellent figure of merit (f_c=1/2.pi.Ron.Cu= 39.7 THz).

Post-infectional biochemical changes due to Xanthomonas campestris pv. mori (Xcm) infection in five elite mulberry varieties viz., $S_1$, $S_{1635}$, $V_1$, RF $S_{175}$ and JRH was studied under inoculated condition. It was revealed that total soluble sugar and protein content was significantly declined in all the varieties due to X. campestris infection. Total phenol content was at par prior to inoculation in all varieties, but it was significantly increased in $S_1$, RF $S_{175}$, $S_{1635}$ and JRH 7 days after inoculation. The correlation coefficient (r) between total soluble sugar and total phenol content was found positive (r = 0.825) and statistically significant. Similarly, correlation coefficient (r) between total soluble protein and phenol content was found positive (r = 0.897) and statistically significant. The present study indicates that X. campestris infected leaves are nutritionally inferior in quality and the duration of phenol production in a mulberry variety play decisive role on disease resistance.nce.

In this paper, we intend to make FFS mode cell with LC alignment used non-rubbing method, ion beam alignment method on the a-C:H thin film, to analyze electro-optical characteristics in this cell. We studied on the suitable inorganic thin film for FFS-LCD and the aligning capabilities of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using the new alignment material of a-C:H thin film as working gas at rf bias condition. A high pretilt angle of about 5$^{\circ}$ by ion beam(IB) exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface was measured. An excellent voltage-transmittance (V-T) and response time curve of the ion-beam-aligned FFS-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin films.

$Bi_{3.25}Y_{0.75}Ti_{3}O_{12}$[BYT] ferroelectric thin films were deposited by RF-Sputtering method on the $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$. We investigated the effects of processing condition (especially post-annealing) on the structural and ferroelectric properties of the BYT thin films. Increasing the annealing temperature, the peak intensity of (117) increased and c-axis orientation decreased. The BYT thin films crystallized well at $600^{\circ}C$ for 30min. No secondary phases observed in the XRD pattern. At annealing temperature of $700^{\circ}C$, the thin films had no cracks and the grain was uniform. The calculated lattice constants of BYT thin films were a=0.539nm, b=0.536nm, c=3.288nm. The remnant polarization of the $Bi_{3.25}Y_{0.75}Ti_{3}O_{12}$ capacitor reached $1.8uC/cm^2$ at an applied field about 400kV/cm. The BYT thin films can be used as capacitors in Ferroelectric Random Access Memory device.

In this paper, a CMOS baseband analog receiver for wireless home network is discussed. It is composed of a Gilbert type mixer, an Elliptic 6th order 1ow pass filter, and a 6-bit A/D converter. The main role of the mixer is generating a mixed analog signal between the 200MHz output signal of CMOS RF stage and the 199MHz local oscillator. After the undesired high frequency component of the mixed signal comes out. Finally, the analog signal is converted into digital code at the 6-bit A/D converter, The proposed receiver is fabricated with 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ 1-poly 5-metal CMOS technology, and the chip area is 200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ X1400${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. the receiver consumes 130㎽ at 2.5V power supply.

In this paper, the double balance mixer(DBM) for Ku-band LNB using InGaP/GaAs HBT process is suggested for the characteristics of low DC power consumption, low noise figure, low intermodulation distortion and wide dynamic range. The 5 dB conversion gain, 14 dB NF, bandwidth 17.9 GHz and 50.34 dBc IMD are obtained under RF input power of -23 dBm, with bias condition as 3 V and 16 mA. The linearity of InGaP/GaAs HBT, the broad band input matching scheme and the optimization of bias point result in the low IMD, the broad bandwidth and the low power consumption characteristics.

In this study, the vertical aligned carbon nanotubes was synthesized by DC bias-assisted Inductively Coupled Plasma Hot-Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition (ICPHFCVD). The substrate used CNTs growth was Ni(300 ${\AA}$)/Cr(200 ${\AA}$)-deposited one on glass by RF magnetron sputtering. R-F, DC bias and filament power during the growth process were 150 W, 80 W, 7∼8 A, respectively. The grown CNTs showed hollow structure and multi-wall CNTs. The top of grown CNT was found to Ni-tip that the CNT end showed to metaltip. The graphitization and field emission properties of grown was better than grown CNTs by ICPCVD. The turn-on voltage of CNT grown by DC bias-assisted ICPHFCVD showed about 3 V/${\mu}m$.

A current autonomous vehicle determines its driving strategy by considering only external factors (Pedestrians, road conditions, etc.) without considering the interior condition of the vehicle. To solve the problem, this paper proposes "An Optimal Driving Support Strategy(ODSS) based on an Genetic Algorithm for Autonomous Vehicles" which determines the optimal strategy of an autonomous vehicle by analyzing not only the external factors, but also the internal factors of the vehicle(consumable conditions, RPM levels etc.). The proposed ODSS consists of 4 modules. The first module is a Data Communication Module (DCM) which converts CAN, FlexRay, and HSCAN messages of vehicles into WAVE messages and sends the converted messages to the Cloud and receives the analyzed result from the Cloud using V2X. The second module is a Data Management Module (DMM) that classifies the converted WAVE messages and stores the classified messages in a road state table, a sensor message table, and a vehicle state table. The third module is a Data Analysis Module (DAM) which learns a genetic algorithm using sensor data from vehicles stored in the cloud and determines the optimal driving strategy of an autonomous vehicle. The fourth module is a Data Visualization Module (DVM) which displays the optimal driving strategy and the current driving conditions on a vehicle monitor. This paper compared the DCM with existing vehicle gateways and the DAM with the MLP and RF neural network models to validate the ODSS. In the experiment, the DCM improved a loss rate approximately by 5%, compared with existing vehicle gateways. In addition, because the DAM improved computation time by 40% and 20% separately, compared with the MLP and RF, it determined RPM, speed, steering angle and lane changes faster than them.

We report the modifications in the electronic structureof ZnO thin films induced by swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiated ZnO thin films by using near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy at O K-edge was performed at BL10D XAS-KIST beamline at Pohang Accelerator Lab (PAL). ZnO films of 250 nm thickness oriented in [200] plane deposited by RF magnetron sputtering using equal $Ar:O_2$ atmosphere and air annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours for stability were irradiated with 120 MeV Au and 100 MeV O beams separately with different doses ranging from $1{\times}10^{11}$ to $5{\times}10^{12}$ ions/$cm^2$. High Resolution X-ray diffraction and NEXAFS analysis indicates significant changes in the electronic structure and the SHI effect is different for Ag and O-beams. The NEXAFS measurements provide direct evidence of O 2p and Zn 3d orbital hybridization. The NEXAFS results will be presented in detail.

본 연구에서는 투명전도성산화막으로 적용 가능한 Ga이 도핑된 ZnO(GZO)의 성장 및 후처리 과정에 따른 구조적, 전기적, 광학적 특성을 관찰하였다. GZO 박막은 상온과 $200^{\circ}C$, 50~250 mTorr (50 mTorr 단계)에서 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터법으로 증착하였다. 이와 같은 조건에서 성장 된 박막의 특성을 분석하여 최적의 온도 및 작업압력에서 RF power를 변화시켜 박막을 성장한 후 질소 및 수소를 이용한 후처리 공정을 통하여 GZO 박막을 제작, 각 조건에 따른 구조적, 전기적 및 광학적 특성 변화를 조사하였다. XRD 측정에서, 열처리 전 시료에서는 GZO (002) 상의 Bragg-Angle 위치가 호스트 물질 ZnO의 기준위치보다 낮은 각도 쪽에서 나타났으며, 이는 Ga이 Zn와 치환되지 못하고 격자 내에 침입형태로 존재함에 따른 것으로 판단된다. 열처리 이후 전반적으로 분위기 가스의 종류에 관계없이 결정성, 광투과율 및 전기적 특성이 향상되는 것이 관측되었다. 질소 분위기에서 열처리된 GZO 박막의 경우, 전반적으로 박막 증착 시 초기 작업압력의 증가에 따라 비저항이 증가하는 현상이 관측되었다. 반면, 수소 분위기에서 열처리된 박막에서는 박막 증착 초기 작업 압력이 증가함에 따라 비저항이 감소하는 경향이 관측되었다. 이러한 결과는 XPS(X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy)로 분석한 결과, 질소 분위기에서 열처리된 GZO 박막은 O-H 결합이 Zn-O 결합에 비해 과도하지 않은 반면, 수소화 처리된 GZO 박막에서 Zn-O 결합에 비해 과도한 O-H 결합이 존재하기 때문으로 관측되었다. 그러한 이유는 O-H 결합이 GZO 박막 내 산소 결공($V_o$)과 밀접한 관계가 있기 때문이며, O-H 결합의 증가는 $V_o$-H 결합체의 증가를 의미하기 때문이다.
