  • 최근에 Fletcher의 HSR (human speech recognition) 이론을 기초로 한 다중대역 (multi-band) 음성인식이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 다중대역 음성인식은 주파수 영역을 다수의 부대역으로 나누고 별도로 인식한 뒤 부대역들의 인식결과를 부대역 신뢰도로 가중 및 통합하여 최종 판단을 내리는 새로운 음성인식 방식으로서 잡음환경에 특히 강인하다고 알려졌다. 잡음이 정상적인 경우 무음구간의 잡음정보를 이용하여 부대역 신호대 잡음비(SNR)를 추정하고 이를 가중치로 사용하기도 하였으나, 비정상잡음은 시간에 따라 특성이 변하여 부대역 신호대 잡음비를 추정하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 깨끗한 음성으로 학습한 은닉 마코프 모델과 잡음음성의 통계적 정합에 의해 각 부대역에서 모델과 잡음음성 사이의 거리를 추정하고, 이 거리의 역을 부대역 가중치로 사용하는 ISD (inverse sub-band distance) 가중을 제안한다. 1500∼1800㎐로 대역이 제한된 백색잡음 및 클래식 기타음에 대한 인식 실험 결과, 제안한 방법은 정상 및 비정상대역제한잡음에 대하여 부대역의 신뢰도를 효과적으로 표현하며 인식 성능을 향상시켰다.

  • We propose a sub-band spreading technique for adaptive modulation (AM) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in order to reduce signaling overheads and to average frequency selective fading channels causing different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values for subcarriers in each subband. The conventional sub-band based AM schemes can also reduce signaling overheads and complexity for allocating a resource per sub-band at a time. However, they may suffer from the channel variation in a sub-band when the sub-band size is larger than the channel coherence bandwidth (BW). The sub-band spreading at the transmitter enables the received symbols in each sub-band to have an identical reliability even in a frequency selective fading channel. We rigorously analyze the averaged SNR value at the receiver of the sub-band spreading system and the analyzed average SNR in a sub-band is used for an adaptation criterion. The proposed AM scheme outperforms the conventional sub-band based OFDM scheme without spreading, and it can yield better throughput performance than the conventional subcarrier based AM schemes when we consider the signaling overheads.

  • 화자검증은 발성화자가 제시화자 (claimed speaker)인지 아닌지를 구별하는 것이다. 기존의 화자검증 시스템인 GMM-UBM 방식의 화자검증 시스템은 무잡음 환경에서는 높은 검증성능을 보이지만, 잡음환경에서는 성능이 급격히 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이런 단점을 극복하기 위해 멀티밴드를 이용한 방법인 특징벡터 재결합방법이 제안되었지만, 특징벡터 재결합방법은 전체 서브밴드 특징벡터들을 사용하여 유사도를 계산하는 단점이 있다. 이런 단점을 극복하기 위해 기 발표된 이전 논문에서 각 서브밴드 유사도를 독립적으로 계산하는 변형된 특징벡터 재결합방법을 제안하였고, 본 논문에서는 변형된 특징벡터 재결합방법과 각 서브밴드들의 신뢰도를 나타내는 신호 대 잡음비를 이용한 가중치를 이용하여 잡음환경에서 기존의 특징벡터 재결합방법에 비해 에러를 28% 감소시켰다.

  • Failure analyses were conducted on a crank shaft and a chock liner by using X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and SEM/EDS techniques. In the crank shaft, a crack developed where a maximum tensile stress coincided with band structure formed by hot forging. The maximum tensile stress was observed to originate from volume expansion during high frequency induction heat treatment and the band structure to develop between upper and lower dies during hot forging. In the chock liner, the wear mechanism varied with the chemical affinity and hardness of liner material relative to friction pair of housing liner. Brass of low chemical affinity and hardness compared to housing liner showed uniform adhesive wear. STS 304 and STS 420J2 of high chemical affinity showed galling and scoring respectively.

  • In this study, we fabricated an amorphous InGaZnO pseudo-MOS transistor (a-IGZO ${\Psi}$-MOSFET) with a stacked $Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ (NO) gate dielectric and evaluated reliability of the devices with various thicknesses of a $SiO_2$ buffer layer. The roles of a $SiO_2$ buffer layer are improving the interface states and preventing degradation caused by the injection of photo-created holes because of a small valance band offset of amorphous IGZO and $Si_3N_4$. Meanwhile, excellent electrical properties were obtained for a device with 10-nm-thick $SiO_2$ buffer layer of a NO stacked dielectric. The threshold voltage shift of a device, however, was drastically increased because of its thin $SiO_2$ buffer layer which highlighted bias and light-induced hole trapping into the $Si_3N_4$ layer. As a results, the pseudo-MOS transistor with a 20-nm-thick $SiO_2$ buffer layer exhibited improved electrical characteristics and device reliability; field effective mobility(${\mu}_{FE}$) of 12.3 $cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, subthreshold slope (SS) of 148 mV/dec, trap density ($N_t$) of $4.52{\times}1011\;cm^{-2}$, negative bias illumination stress (NBIS) ${\Delta}V_{th}$ of 1.23 V, and negative bias temperature illumination stress (NBTIS) ${\Delta}V_{th}$ of 2.06 V.

  • Purpose: Fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) bottom electrode for $Ta_2O_5$ based RRAM was studied to apply for transparent resistive switching memory devices owing to its superior transparency, good conductivity and chemical stability. Methods: $ITO/Ta_2O_5/FTO$ (ITF) and $ITO/Ta_2O_5/Pt$ (ITP) devices were fabricated on glass and Si substrate, respectively. UV-visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy was used to examine transparency of the ITF device and its band gap energy was determined by conventional Tauc plot. Electrical properties, such as electroforming and voltage-induced RS characteristics were measured and compared. Results: The device with an FTO bottom electrode showed good transparency (>80%), low forming voltage (~-2.5V), and reliable bipolar RS behavior. Whereas, the one with Pt electrode showed both bipolar and unipolar RS behaviors unstably with large forming voltage (~-6.5V). Conclusion: Transparent and conducting FTO can successfully realize a transparent RRAM device. It is concluded that FTO electrode may form a stable interface with $Ta_2O_5$ switching layer and plays as oxygen ion reservoir to supply oxygen vacancies, which eventually facilitates a stable operation of RRAM device.

  • Nitrided-metal gates on the high-${\kappa}$ dielectric material are widely studied because of their use for sub-20nm semiconductor devices and the academic interest for the evanescent states at the Si/insulator interface. Issues in these systems with the Si substrate are the electron mobility degradation and the reliability problems caused from N defects that permeates between the Si and the $SiO_2$ buffer layer interface from the nitrided-gate during the gate deposition process. Previous studies proposed the N defect structures with the gap states at the Si band gap region. However, recent experimental data shows the possibility of the most stable structure without any N defect state between the bulk Si valence band maximum (VBM) and conduction band minimum (CBM). In this talk, we present a new type of the N defect structure and the electronic structure of the proposed structure by using the first-principles calculation. We find that the pair structure of N atoms at the $Si/SiO_2$ interface has the lowest energy among the structures considered. In the electronic structure, the N pair changes the eigenvalue of the silicon-induced gap state (SIGS) that is spatially localized at the interface and energetically located just above the bulk VBM. With increase of the number of N defects, the SIGS gradually disappears in the bulk Si gap region, as a result, the system gap is increased by the N defect. We find that the SIGS shift with the N defect mainly originates from the change of the kinetic energy part of the eigenstate by the reduction of the SIGS modulation for the incorporated N defect.

  • Cognitive networks (CNs) are capable of enabling dynamic spectrum allocation, and thus constitute a promising technology for future wireless communication. Whereas, the implementation of CN will lead to the requirement of an increased energy-arrival rate, which is a significant parameter in energy harvesting design of a cognitive user (CU) device. A well-designed spectrum-sensing scheme will lower the energy-arrival rate that is required and enable CNs to self-sustain, which will also help alleviate global warming. In this paper, spectrum sensing in a multi-user cognitive ad hoc network with a wide-band spectrum is considered. Based on the prospective spectrum sensing, we classify CN operation into two modes: Distributed and centralized. In a distributed network, each CU conducts spectrum sensing for its own data transmission, while in a centralized network, there is only one cognitive cluster header which performs spectrum sensing and broadcasts its sensing results to other CUs. Thus, a wide-band spectrum that is divided into multiple sub-channels can be sensed simultaneously in a distributed manner or sequentially in a centralized manner. We consider the energy consumption for spectrum sensing only of an analog-to-digital convertor (ADC). By formulating energy consumption for spectrum sensing in terms of the sub-channel sampling rate and whole-band sensing time, the sampling rate and whole-band sensing time that are optimal for minimizing the total energy consumption within sensing reliability constraints are obtained. A power dissipation model of an ADC, which plays an important role in formulating the energy efficiency problem, is presented. Using AD9051 as an ADC example, our numerical results show that the optimal sensing parameters will achieve a reduction in the energy-arrival rate of up to 97.7% and 50% in a distributed and a centralized network, respectively, when comparing the optimal and worst-case energy consumption for given system settings.

  • 본 논문에서는 향후 초고속 W-PAN(Wireless Personal Area Network)을 위한 유력한 전송 기술로서 각광받고 있는 MB-OFDM UWB(Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Ultra Wide Band) 시스템의 동기화를 위한 효과적인 반송파 및 샘플링 주파수 오프셋 결합 추정 기법을 제시하고 성능을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 PLCP(Physical Layer Convergence Procedure) 프리앰블 내의 채널 추정 시퀀스를 이용하고 MB-OFDM UWB 시스템 기술 규격 및 주파수 운용 방식을 고려하였으며, 반송파와 샘플링 주파수 오프셋을 결합 추정하는 방법으로서 먼저 샘플링 주파수 오프셋을 추정하고 추정된 샘플링 주파수 오프셋을 이용하여 반송파 주파수 오프셋을 추정하는 방식을 적용하였다. 또한 추정된 오프셋 값들의 신뢰도 향상을 위해 각 과정에서 가중치 기반의 주파수 오프셋 추정 기법을 사용하였다. IEEE 802.15 Task Group 3a에서 제공하는 4가지 UWB 실내 채널 모델을 이용한 모의실험 결과, 각 부채널에서의 수신 신호 평균 전력을 반영하는 제안된 간단한 형태의 가중치 기반 추정 기법의 성능이 채널의 주파수 응답을 사용하여 완벽한 채널 추정을 필요로 하는 이상적인 방법에 비해 훨씬 낮은 복잡도로 유사한 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 확인 하였다.

  • β-Ga2O3는 ~4.8 eV의 넓은 밴드 갭과 8 MV/cm의 높은 항복 전압을 가지는 물질로 전력소자의 응용 분야에서 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 또한, 대표적인 WBG 반도체 소재인 SiC, GaN, 다이아몬드 등과 비교했을 때, 높은 성장률과 낮은 제조 비용으로 단결정 성장이 가능하다는 장점을 가진다[1-4]. 본 연구에서는 다중 슬릿 구조를 이용한 EFG(Edge-defined Film-fed Growth) 법을 통해 SnO2 0.3 mol% 도핑된 10 mm 두께의 β-Ga2O3 단결정을 성장시키는 데에 성공했다. 성장 방향과 성장 면은 각각 [010]/(001)로 설정하였으며 성장 속도는 약 12 mm/h이다. 성장시킨 β-Ga2O3 단결정은 다양한 결정면(010, 001, 100, ${\bar{2}}01$)으로 절단하여 표면 가공을 진행하였다. 가공이 완료된 샘플은 XRD, UV/VIS/NIR Spec., Mercury Probe, AFM, Etching 등의 분석을 통해 결정면에 따른 특성을 비교하였다. 본 연구는 고전압 및 고온 응용 분야에서 전력반도체 기술의 발전에 기여할 것으로 기대되며 더 나은 특성의 기판을 선택하는 것은 소자의 성능과 신뢰성을 향상시키는데에 중요한 역할을 할 것이다.
