2004년 일본의 Hosono 그룹에 의해 처음 발표된 이래로, amorphous gallium-indium-zinc oxide (a-GIZO) thin film transistors (TFTs)는 높은 이동도와 뛰어난 전기적, 광학적 특성에 의해 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 또한 넓은 밴드갭을 가지므로 가시광 영역에서 투명한 특성을 보이고, 플라스틱 기판 위에서 구부러지는 성질에 의해 플랫 패널 디스플레이나 능동 유기 발광 소자(AM-OLED), 투명 디스플레이에 응용될 뿐만 아니라, 일반적인 Poly-Si TFT에 비해 백플레인의 대면적화에 유리하다는 장점이 있다. 최근에는 Y2O3나 ZrO2 등의 high-k 물질을 gate insulator로 이용하여 높은 캐패시턴스를 유지함과 동시에 낮은 구동 전압과 빠른 스위칭 특성을 가지는 a-GIZO TFT의 연구 결과가 보고되었다. 하지만 투명 디스플레이 소자 제작을 위해 플라스틱이나 유리 기판을 사용할 경우, 기판 특성상 공정 온도에 제약이 따르고(약 $300^{\circ}C$ 이하), 이를 극복하기 위한 부가적인 기술이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 p-type Si을 back gate로 하는 Inverted-staggered 구조의 a-GIZO TFT소자를 제작 하였다. p-type Si (100) 기판위에 RF magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 Gate insulator를 증착하고, 같은 방법으로 채널층인 a-GIZO를 70 nm 증착하였다. a-GIZO를 증착하기 위한 sputtering 조건으로는 100W의 RF power와 6 mTorr의 working pressure, 30 sccm Ar 분위기에서 증착하였다. 소스/드레인 전극은 e-beam evaporation을 이용하여 Al을 150 nm 증착하였다. 채널 폭은 80 um 이고, 채널 길이는 각각 20 um, 10 um, 5 um, 2 um이다. 마지막으로 Furnace를 이용하여 N2 분위기에서 $500^{\circ}C$로 30분간 후속 열처리를 실시한 후에, 전기적 특성을 분석하였다.

Experimental results and data of numerical simulations are presented, concerning generation of wideband radio frequency (RF) oscillations in a nonlinear transmission line (NLTL) which contains a pre-magnetized core of ferrite material. Emphasis is made on the means for extracting the RF signal from the line, in order to radiate it into free space. Antennas of two types that can be used for the purpose are considered, both featuring a coaxial design. This permits availing of the principal advantages of coaxial systems, such as operation in the mode of a traveling TEM wave; wide range of the transmitted frequencies, and a reasonably simple design. The antennas studied, specifically a disc-cone dipole (DCD) and an impulse reflector antenna ('Half-IRA', or HIRA type) differ significantly in effective width of the radiated spectrum and in spatial characteristics of the radiated field in far region.

In this paper, a system that implementation of Access Control System Using Biometric System. Biometrics is science which deals with verifying or recognizing using physiological or behavioral characteristic Access Control System uses Biometric system to make an access control system. Biometrics goes under the study of bio-recognition or bio-measurement. It is a technology or study that identifies individuals using one's Biometric character. Access control system is a system used to identify one's entrance and exit, personal management, and security. Access control system can be joined with Biometric system to produce easier use and more sufficient effects. Access control system using Wiegand (Data Format) signal output, can replace earlier RF Card systems and make an access control (security) system. It uses RS-232, Rs-422 or TCP/IP type communication with the computer so an embedded system can be controlled using the software.

This paper presents the structure and process technology of simple and low-cost wafer-level packaging (WLP) for thin film radio frequency (RF) devices. Low-cost practical micromachining processes were proposed as an alternative to high-cost processes, such as silicon deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) or electro-plating, in order to reduce the fabrication cost. Gold (Au)/Tin (Sn) alloy was utilized as the solder material for bonding and hermetic sealing. The small size fabricated WLP of $1.04{\times}1.04{\times}0.4mm^3$ had an average shear strength of 10.425 $kg/mm^2$, and the leakage rate of all chips was lower than $1.2{\times}10^{-5}$ atm.cc/sec. These results met Military Standards 883F (MIL-STD-883F). As the newly proposed WLP structure is simple, and its process technology is inexpensive, the fabricated WLP is a good candidate for thin film type RF devices.

This paper presents the design and analysis of RF Front End for Wireless Heartbeat measurement System. In this work LNA, an inductor connected at the gate of the cascode transistor and capacitive cross-coupling are strategically combined to reduce the noise and the nonlinearity influences of the cascode transistors in a differential LNA. The Mixer is implemented by using the Gilbert-type configuration, cross pmos injection technique and the resonating technique for the tail capacitance. The resulting LNA achieves 1.26dB NF, better than 1.88dB NF Typical. Also Mixer resulting achieves 9.8dB at 100KHz.

A $2{\times}2{\times}4$ factorial study was conducted to examine the possibility of improving estimates of in vitro digestibility, using untreated (UBS) and ammonia-treated (ABS) barley straw, through homogenization of rumen fluid (RF) and by additions of urea (U) and casein (C) as N sources and Xylose + Glucose (XG) as energy sources into artificial saliva. Digestibiltiy of ABS was significantly greater than that of UBS (p < 0.001). There was a significant decrease in digestibility when additions (U, UC, UCXG) were compared with the control (p < 0.001). A 2-way interaction between RF and straw type was significant (p < 0.05) for dry matter digestibility (DMD). Homogenization of RF increased DMD of ABS (p < 0.05) whereas it decreased DMD of UBS (p > 0.05). The study showed that addition of N alone or in combination with energy sources was not better than control, rather the reverse, digestion was inhibited by a combination of U and casein (UC). It was concluded that sufficient N and branched chain fatty acids were supplied in the inoculum from sheep fed high protein grass cubes to support the growth of cellulolytic microbes during in vitro incubation. Further studies are, however, required to explore the potential of homogenization in improving the in vitro method to estimate digestibility of cereal straws.

Recently, RFID has become popular in the field of remote sensing applications. Location awareness is one of the most important keys to deploying RFID for advanced object tracking. Generally, multiple reference RF stations or additional sensors are used for the location sensing with RFID, but, particularly in indoor environments, spatial layout and cost problems limit the applicability of those approaches. In this paper, we propose a novel method for location sensing with active RFID systems not requiring the need for reference stations or additional sensors. The system triangulates the position of RF signal source using the signal pattern of the loop antenna connected to the power detector. The power detector consists of a signal strength detector and a signal analysis unit. The signal analysis unit indicates the signal strength and serial number using the signal from the strength detector, and provides the direction of the signal to the application target. We designed three different signal analysis units depending on the threshold type. The developed system can sense the direction to the transponder located over 10 m away within the maximum error of $5^{\circ}$. It falls within a reasonable range in our normal office environment.

In the electronic components and devices fabrication, thin film resistors with low TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance) and high precision have been used over 3 GHz microwave in recent years. Ni-Cr alloys thin films resistors is one of the most commonly used resistive materials because it has low TCR and highly stable resistance. In this work, we fabricated thin film resistors using Evanohm alloys target(72Ni-20Cr-3Al-4Mn-Si) of s-type with excellent resistors properties by RF-sputtering. Also we reported best deposited conditions of thin film resistors for microwave to observe microstructure and electronic properties of thin film according to deposited conditions(between target and substrate, power supply)

When GPS (global positioning system) is used as synchronous signal in CDMA digital cellular base station system and high speed digital synchronous communication network, antenna cable length is increased, comparing with other GPS application such as positioning or car navigation. In this paper, it is proposed that a type of new GPS antenna system including RF stage for reduction of cable loss in case of long cable.The antenna system with TMPA(truncated-corners microstrip patch antenna) is designed and fabricated because GPS signal has RHCP (right-hand circular polarization), consequently antenna size can be made small size. LNA (low noise amplifier) is designed by using HEMT(high electron mobility transistor)which has lower noise figurae and better AGC characteristics at low voltage than GaAs FET, and we equiped mixer, in GPS antenna unit, which converts from 1575.42MHz to 75.42MHz. As result of comparing between typical system and proposed system when cable length is 60m, 63dB, 55dB and 25dB gain are obtained for RG-316/U, RG-58C/U and RG-213/U, and better characteristics are achieved than typical system as far as cable length is longer.
