Exchange and interlayer couplings between a NiFe ferromagnetic layer and an antiferromagnetic NiO layer in NiO/NiFe/Cu/NiFe spin-valve films prepared by rf/dc magnetron sputtering were investigated. The interlayer coupling field ($H_{int}$ decreased with the Cu layer thickness, and the exchange coupling field $(H_{ex}$ saturated to 90 Oe. the magnetitudes of $H_{ex}$ and $H_{int}$ decreased with increasing thickness of the pinned NiFe layer. The increase of $H_{int}$ with the free NiFe layer may be due to the increased magnetization.

Recent premium smartphones commonly employ a metal frame and this trend is currently spreading over mid-range smartphones. However, the metal frame becomes a good coupling path of electromagnetic noises emitted from digital components in smartphones and then increases radio-frequency interference(RFI) to RF antennas located at top and bottom sides of smartphones. This paper proposed a metal frame with EBG(Electromagnetic Band Gap) structure to reduce the noise coupling to antenna by suppressing surface wave on the metal frame. By simulation, it is confirmed that the proposed metal frame with $7{\times}6$ mushroom-type EBG array pattern with multi-via can reduce the noise coupling to RF antenna by about 20 dB.

The high temperature proton exchange (HTPE) method was used to fabricate optical waveguides based on LiNbO$_3$, which gives rise to low propagation loss and high polarization extinction ratio. To characterize the refractive index distribution of the fabricated waveguides, the guided modes of each waveguide were observed using the prism coupling method and then the refractive index profile was calculated by the inverse WKB method with the least square fitting. Finally, we showed how the HTPE parameters such as the temperature of PE, the concentration of lithium additive, and the time of PE effect the refractive index profile.

In this paper, we analyze the degree of digital noise coupling for Inverted F Antenna (IFA) and Loop Antenna, which are representative types of portable terminal antenna, using characteristic mode. Firstly, the degree of coupling according to the direction of digital signal lines and characteristic mode current of the printed circuit board (PCB) including the antenna is compared and analyzed, and based on this result, the coupling between WiFi antenna and the front camera noise is analyzed. For analysis, the digital signal line and ground line of the FPCB of the camera module are modeled as a loop feeder that excites the characteristic mode of the PCB ground and the change of noise coupling according to the antenna types are analyzed.

This paper presents a bandpass wireless 3-D chip to chip interface technique. The proposed technique uses direct amplitude modulation of the free running oscillator which especially utilizes the coupling capacitance between two stacked chips as a part of the resonator. Therefore, the oscillator is three dimensionally configured and a simple envelope detector can be used as a receiver without any additional matching circuitry. The proposed link was designed and fabricated using 110 nm CMOS technology and experimental results successfully showed the data transmission at a data rate of 2 Gb/s for the stacked chips with a thickness of 50 ${\mu}m$ consuming 4.32 mW. The sizes of the Tx and Rx chips are 0.045 $mm^2$ and 0.029 $mm^2$, respectively.

In this paper, passive telemetry capacitive humidity sensor system using a RLSE(Recursive Least Square Estimation) technique is proposed. To overcome the problem like power limits and complications that general passive telemetry sensor system including IC chip has, the principle of inductive coupling is applied to model the sensor system. Specially. by applying the forgetting factor we show that the accuracy of its estimation can be improved even in the case of time varying parameter and also the convergence time can be reduced.

Recently, SpaceX, private enterprise dealing in space development company, has reported a plan for launching of low earth orbit satellites via Starlink Business, and launched 900 satellites until now. Concretely, it plans tp operate Ku/Ka band satellite, and launch 7,518 of V band satellites for broadband communication. Therefore, wireless communication service for ship will be provided, and various solutions will be offered through the low earth orbit satellites. In this work, we investigated RF characteristics of coplanar waveguide employing periodic 3D coupling structures, and examined its potential for a development of marine radio communication FISoC (fully-integrated system on chip) semiconductor device.

Crystalline and micro-structural characteristics of ZnO thin films which were deposited on p-Si(100) with cooling naturally down of pre-heated substrate during RF magnetron sputter deposition, were investigated by XRD and SEM in this paper. The film which was prepared on the substrate which was pre-heated to $400^{\circ}C$ before deposition and then cooled naturally down during deposition, showed the most outstanding c-axis preferred orientation. The ZnO thin film having the best crystalline result were applied to SMR type FBAR device and resonance properties of the device were investigated by network analyzer. It showed that resonance frequency was 2.05 GHz, return loss was -30.64 dB, quality factor was 3169 and electromechanical coupling factor was 0.4 %. This deposition method would be very useful for application of surface acoustic wave filter or film bulk acoustic wave resonator.

A helical inductively coupled plasma asher, which produces low energy and high density plasma, has been built and investigated for photoresist stripping process. Oxygen ion density in the order of $10^{11}/cm^3$ is measured by Langmuir probe, and higher oxygen radical density is observed by Optical Emission Spectrometer. As RF source power is increased, the plasma density and thus photoresist stripping rate are increased. Independent RF bias power to the wafer stage provides a dc bias to the wafer and an ability to add the ion assisted reaction. At 1 KW of the source power, the coupling mechanism of the RF power to the plasma is changed from the inductive mode to the capacitive one at about 1 Torr. This change causes the plasma density and ashing rate decreases abruptly. The critical pressure of the mode change becomes larger with larger RF power.

AIN thin film has been deposited on the $AI_2$$O_3$substrate with reactive radio frequency( RF) magnetron sputtering method. In this work, elelctromechanical coupling coefficient of AIN thin film was increased with an increase of AIN thin film thickness, and the maximum value was 0.11%. Insertion loss of SAW device was decreased with an increase of AIN thin film thickness and the minimum value was 33［㏈］.
