SiGe integrated circuits are being used in the field of high-speed wire/wireless communications and microwave systems due to the RF/high-speed analog characteristics and the easiness in the fabrication. Reducing the resistance variation in SiGe thin film resistors results in enhancing the reliability of integrated circuits. In this paper, we investigate the causes that generate the resistance nonuniformity after the silicon-based thin film resistor was fabricated, and consider the counter plan against that. Because the Ti-B precipitate, which formed during the silicide process of the SiGe thin film resistor, gives rise to the nonuniformity of SiGe resistors, the boron ions should be implanted as many as possible. In addition, the resistance deviation increases as the size of the contact hole that interconnects the SiGe resistor and the metal line decreases. Therefore, the size of the contact hole must be enlarged in order to reduce the resistance deviation.

Using an alkali-solution developable photosensitive resin and a carbon black as a conductive filler, photo-patternable pastes for polymer thick film resistor were fabricated and evaluated. A photo solder resist (PSR), which is usually used as protecting layer of printed circuit board (PCB), was used as a photosensitive resin so that ultraviolet exposure and alkali-aqueous solution development of paste were possible. After fabricating the photosensitive polymer resistor paste, the electrical properties of thick film resistors were measured using PCB test boards. Sheet resistance was decreased with increasing amount of carbon black, but the developability was limited in excess loading of carbon black. The sheet resistance was also reduced by re-curing and the change rate was smaller in higher carbon black loading. Moreover, finely patterned meander-type thick film resistors were fabricated using photo-process and large resistance up to several tens of sheet resistance could be obtained in small area by this technique.

A three-dimensional finite difference time-domain modeling algorithm based on staggered grid and considering transmitting and receiving antennas has been developed to simulate Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey. This algorithm adopted the subcellular method to simulate the dipole antennas being used in GPR system and added resistors to reduce ringing caused by the reflections at the ends of an antenna. Comparison of the output voltages in the presence of the resistors for half-space said that the ringing and the amplitude of output voltage decreased as the number of resistors increased, and the antenna was designed based upon this result. Radiation patterns were derived to understand the distribution of electric field energy in the planes including or normal to the antenna. The electric field energy concentrated on vertical direction in the plane including antenna more than in normal plane.

The wound rotor type induction motor(WRIM) control system which is widely used in the industry has many maintenance problem because of external resistors and magnetic contactors. In this paper, the simple sensorless vector control algorithm for WRIM is proposed without any additional devices except detecting rotor currents. Because the external resistors are disconnectd and the rotor slip rings are shorten, the power loss due to external resistors is removed and the maintenance problem is improved remarkably. Also, the vector control performance becomes better because the proposed sensorless vector control algorithm does not use the rotor resistance which is usually used to estimate the slip frequency in case of indirect vector control scheme. The proposed algorithm is verified by the digital simulation and the experiment.

Effects of the emitter degeneration on linearity have been investigated in SiGe HBT double-balanced up-converters with the Gilbert-cell structure. The emitter-coupled degeneration resistors have been optimized for high P1-dB and IP3 through the nonlinear harmonic-balance simulation. Two types of up-converter MMICs fabricated in $0.35{\mu}m$ Si-BiCMOS process were measured to verify the simulation results. The up-converter without the degeneration resistors produces a P1-dB of -13 dBm with an OIP3 of 3.7 dBm, while the up-converter with the degeneration resistors produces a P1-dB of -10 dBm with an OIP3 of 8.7 dBm.

A heater in a portable real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR) system is one of the important factors for controlling the PCR thermocycle precisely. Since heaters are integrated on a small-sized PCR chip for rapid heating and fabricated by semiconductor processes, the cost of producing PCR chips is high. Here, we propose to use chip resistors as an inexpensive and accurate temperature control method. The temperature distribution was simulated using one or two chip resistors on a real-time PCR chip and the PCR chip with uniform temperature distribution was fabricated. The temperature rise and fall rates were $18^{\circ}C/s$ and $3^{\circ}C/s$, respectively.

A method of frequency multipling of square waveforms is described and an integrable frequency multiplier which is fully compatible with IC technology, and made use of only bipolar transistors and resistors is proposed. The circuit is composed of only integrable time delay circuits and exclusive OR gates. Hence the circuit shows some useful characteristics.
