Size reduction of micro-aperture using additional deposition is presented in this study. PECVD process was used for additional deposition. Rate of deposition is different with deposition direction because corners of shadowmask membrane have a taper. Deposition into backside showed better than deposition into frontside with size reduction. Shadowmask membrane with two materials has stress because of the difference of a coefficient of thermal expansion The cantilever of membrane bend to opposite direction of deposition. Deposition to both frontside and backside could reduce inside stress.

In distributed arithmetic-based architecture for an inner product between two length-N vectors, the size of the ROM increases exponentially with N. Moreover, the ROMs are generally the bottleneck of speed, especially when their size is large. In this paper, a ROM size reduction technique for DA( distributed arithmetic ) is proposed. The proposed method is based on modified OBC( offset binary coding) and control circuit reduction technique. by simulations, it is shown that the use of the proposed technique can result in reduction in the number of gates up to 50%.

The reduction of $Ni(OH)_2$ by hydrazine-sodium phosphinate in water and water-diethylene glycol solutions for the preparation of spherical nickel particles has been studied at room temperature. The effect of reaction conditions on the size and morphology of Ni powder was revealed using SEM and XRD analysis technique. It was shown that in the presence of sodium phosphinate the reduction process become activated and a formation of Ni particles was completed within several minutes at room temperature. As a desired result spherical Ni powders with particles size from 0.07 to 2.0 mm were obtained.

In this paper, a design of size-reduced microwave oscillator using common defected ground structure (common DGS) is described. At first, an oscillator is designed using the normal stub resonator, and the conventional DGS patterns are inserted for the first trial of size-reduction. Finally, the DGS resonator section is folded by half size in order to adopt the common DGS, and this produces the proposed size-reduced oscillator. Common DGS pattern is inserted for a better size-reduction than when conventional DGSs are used. The folded transmission line is connected using the 3-dimensional signal via-holes. For an example of design, a 2.1GHz oscillator is designed and fabricated using a small signal transistor and common DGS, which shows the size-reduction of 11 mm. The measurement shows 6.7dBm of output power and -133dBc/Hz@1MHz of phase noise. The measured performances are so similar to those of the oscillators before size-reduction and prove the proposed size-reduction method of oscillators using common DGS.

Embedded processors often accommodate two instruction sets, a standard instruction set and a compressed instruction set. With the compressed instruction set, code size can be reduced while instruction count (and consequently execution time) can be increased. To achieve code size reduction without significant increase of execution time, this paper proposes a new compressed instruction set architecture, called TOE (Two Operations Execution). The proposed instruction set format includes the parallel bit that indicates an instruction can be executed simultaneously with the next instruction. To add the parallel bit, TOE instruction format reduces the destination register field. The reduction of the register field limits the number of registers that are accessible by an instruction. To overcome the limited accessibility of registers, TOE adapts non-homogeneous register partition in which registers are divided into multiple subsets, each of which are accessed by different groups of instructions. With non-homogeneous registers, each instruction can access only a limited number of registers, but an entire program can access all available registers. With efficient non-homogeneous register allocator, all registers can be used in a balanced manner. As a result, the increase of code size due to register spills is negligible. Experimental results show that more than 30% of TOE instructions can be executed in parallel without significant increase of code size when compared to existing Thumb instruction set.

A size-reduced high frequency mixer designed by adopting artificial dielectric substrate is described in this work. The artificial dielectric substrate is composed by stacking the lower substrate in which a lot of metalized via-holes exist, and upper substrate on which microstrip lines are realized. The effective dielectric constant increases due to the inserted lots of via-holes, and this may be applied to size-reduction of high frequency circuits. In this work, in order to present an application example of size-reduction for active high frequency circuits using the artificial dielectric substrate, a 8GHz single gate mixer is miniaturized and measured. It is described that the basic circuit elements for mixers such as hybrid, low pass filter, and matching networks can be replaced by the artificial dielectric substrate for size-reduction. The final mixer has 55% of size compared to the normal one. The measured average conversion gain is around 3dB which is almost similar result as the normal circuit.

In the conventional metallothermic reduction (MR) process for obtaining tantalum powder in batch-type operation. it is difficult to control morphology and location of deposits. On the other hand, a electronically mediated reaction (EMR) process is capable to overcome these difficulties and has a merit of continuous process, but it has the defect that the reduction yield is poor. MR-EMR combination process is a method that is able to overcome demerits of MR and EMR process. In this study, a MR-EMR combination process has been applied to the production of tantalum powder by sodium reduction of $K_2$TaF$_{7}$. The total charge passed through external circuit and average particle size (FSSS) were increased with increasing reduction temperature. The proportion of fine particle (-325 mesh) was decreased with increasing reduction temperature. The yield was improved from 65% to 74% with increasing reduction temperature. Considering the charge, impurities, morphology, particle size and yield, an reduction temperature of 1,123 K was found to be optimum temperature for MR-EMR combination process.

Ag powder was prepared from $AgNO_3$ by wet chemical reduction method using various reduction agent system involving $AgNO_3$, $AgNO_2$(AgCl) and Ag complex ion aqueous solution. The pure Ag powder could be prepared regardless of reaction system but the particle shape and distribution were affected very much according to the kind of reduction agents and reaction systems. The optimum reaction system for the preparation of the silver powder having the uniform particle shape and size distribution was Ag complex ion aqueous solution-reduction agent system and in particular, $H_2O_2$ and $C_6H_8O_6$as a reduction agent leaded the more uniform particle shape and size distribution.

In this study, we developed a new volume reduction technique for cesium contaminated soil by magnetic separation. Cs in soil is mainly adsorbed on clay which is the smallest particle constituent in the soil, especially on paramagnetic 2:1 type clay minerals which strongly adsorb and fix Cs. Thus selective separation of 2:1 type clay with a superconducting magnet could enable to reduce the volume of Cs contaminated soil. The 2:1 type clay particles exist in various particle sizes in the soil, which leads that magnetic force and Cs adsorption quantity depend on their particle size. Accordingly, we examined magnetic separation conditions for efficient separation of 2:1 type clay considering their particle size distribution. First, the separation rate of 2:1 type clay for each particle size was calculated by particle trajectory simulation, because magnetic separation rate largely depends on the objective size. According to the calculation, 73 and 89 % of 2:1 type clay could be separated at 2 and 7 T, respectively. Moreover we calculated dose reduction rate on the basis of the result of particle trajectory simulation. It was indicated that 17 and 51 % of dose reduction would be possible at 2 and 7 T, respectively. The difference of dose reduction rate at 2 T and 7 T was found to be separated a fine particle. It was shown that magnetic separation considering particle size distribution would contribute to the volume reduction of contaminated soil.
