The p-type nanowire field-effect transistor (FET) with a SiGe shell channel on a Si core is optimally designed and characterized using in-depth technology computer-aided design (TCAD) with quantum models for sub-10-nm advanced logic technology. SiGe is adopted as the material for the ultrathin shell channel owing to its two primary merits of high hole mobility and strong Si compatibility. The SiGe shell can effectively confine the hole because of the large valence-band offset (VBO) between the Si core and the SiGe channel arranged in the radial direction. The proposed device is optimized in terms of the Ge shell channel thickness, Ge fraction in the SiGe channel, and the channel length (L_g) by examining a set of primary DC and AC parameters. The cutoff frequency (f_T) and maximum oscillation frequency (f_max) of the proposed device were determined to be 440.0 and 753.9 GHz when L_g is 5 nm, respectively, with an intrinsic delay time (τ) of 3.14 ps. The proposed SiGe-shell channel p-type nanowire FET has demonstrated a strong potential for low-power and high-speed applications in 10-nm-and-beyond complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology.

The conventional liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have been using optically uniaxial liquid crystal (LC) medium and this often causes a significant image change at oblique viewing angles. We simulated the viewing angle properties of the biaxial nematic (N_b) phase of a bent-core liquid crystal (BLC) and compared the results with the vertically aligned (VA)- and the in-plane switching (IPS)-LCDs. The N_b phase of the BLC showed a smaller transmittance at the dark state as well as a greater contrast ratio at wide viewing angle. The viewing angle property of the N_b-mode without any compensation film was slightly superior to the IPS-mode with the compensation films eliminating the decross of the polarizers at oblique viewing angle.

A nuclear fuel test loop(after below, FTL) is installed in the IRI of an irradiation hole in HANARO for testing the neutron irradiation characteristics and thermo hydraulic characteristics of a fuel loaded in a light water power reactor or a heavy water power reactor. There is an in-pile section(IPS) and an out-pile section(OPS) in this test loop. When HANARO is operated normally, the fuel loaded into the IPS has a nuclear reaction heat generated by a neutron irradiation. To remove the generated heat and to maintain the operation conditions of the test fuel, a main cooling water system(MCWS) is installed in the OPS of the FTL. The MCWS is composed of a main cooler, a pressurizer, two circulation pumps, a main heater, an interconnection pipe line and instruments. The interconnection pipeline is a closed loop which is connected to an inlet and an outlet of the IPS respectively. The MCWS is under a cold function test during a start-up period. This paper describes the system flow network analysis results of the flow control of a main cooling water system in the HANARO fuel test loop. It was confirmed through the results that the flow was met the system design requirements.

We have studied the influence of rubbing angles with respect to in-plane field direction on electro-optic characteristics of in-plane switching (IPS) liquid crystal display. The results show that the threshold voltage increases and the operational voltage decreases as the rubbing angle increases. Further, the total response time and also response times associated with grey-to-grey transitions become fast as the rubbing angle decreases.

A nuclear fuel test loop (after below, FTL) is installed in IR1 of an irradiation hole in HANARO for testing neutron irradiation characteristics and thermo hydraulic characteristics of a fuel loaded in a light water power reactor (PWR) or a heavy water power reactor (CANDU). There is an in-pile section (IPS) and an out-pile section (OPS) in this test loop. When HANARO is normally operated, the fuel loaded in the IPS has a nuclear reaction heat generated by a neutron irradiation. To remove the generated heat and to maintain an operation condition of the test fuel, a main cooling water system (MCWS) is installed in the OPS of the FTL. The pump can not continuously suck a fluid and not pressurize the fluid during a cold function test. To verify the flow characteristics of the MCWS, a flow net work analysis has been conducted. When the higher elevation pipelines wholly filled with coolant, it was confirmed through the analysis results that the pump pressurized the coolant normally. And the analysis results described the system characteristics with operation temperature and pressure variation satisfactorily.

S-PVA is a new technology which enables screen quality advantages over S-IPS and MVA, including high transmittance, >1000:1 contrast ratio, sub-10ms response time, and wide angle of view with no off-axis image inversion and undetectable gamma distortion. This new technology will be described in detail. This paper also addresses the other remaining performance issues facing LCD-TV, including Samsung's plans for addressing these challenges. For example, until recently, inter-gray response time and associated motion blur were significant issues for achieving LCD-TV images quality. Samsung has invented DCC-II technology to achieve sub-10ms response time, and this achievement is described herein. Other technology advancements, including next-generation color performance and ultra-low black performance and improvement of off axis image quality are also discussed in this paper.

We have proposed a novel viewing angle controllable display of in-plane switching (IPS) mode with single panel. One pixel of this device is divided to two regions, in which main pixel shows image and sub pixel for viewing angle control. In initial state, the liquid crystal of sub pixel is homogeneous aligned on substrate for wide viewing angle mode. On the other hand, after applying voltage, the liquid crystal of sub pixel tilts up for narrow viewing angle mode. The proposed device has advantage for the function for simple manufacturing process and good viewing angle control with single panel.

최근 영상처리 응용의 일환으로 객체 추적 시스템에 많이 활용되는 SURF 알고리즘의 경우 영상의 회전 및 크기 변화에 강인한 특이점을 추출한다는 특징이 있지만 연산이 복잡하고 연산량이 많아 임베디드 환경에서 IP로 사용되기 위해서는 하드웨어 가속기 개발이 필수적이다. 하지만 이 때 요구되는 내부 메모리 사이즈가 매우 크기 때문에 ASIC이나 SoC 시스템으로 개발 할 때 칩 회로 사이즈가 커서 IP의 가치를 떨어뜨리게 된다. 본 논문에서는 하드웨어 가속기 개발 시 회로면적에 효율적인 설계를 위해 내부 블록메모리 사용량을 줄이고 외부 메모리와 DMA를 사용하여 세분화된 Sub-IP 구조로 설계하는 것에 대해 연구하고 간단한 객체 추적 알고리즘을 개발하여 그 결과를 적용하였다. ARM Cortex-M0, AHB-lite, APB, DMA, SDRAM Controller로 구성된 시스템 환경에서 실험 결과 VGA(640x480)영상에서 SURF 알고리즘의 처리속도는 약 31frame/sec, 블록 메모리의 크기는 81Kbytes, 30nm 공정에서 회로의 크기는 약 74만 게이트 크기로 SoC 칩의 하드웨어 IP로 활용이 가능하였다. SURF와 비슷한 영상처리 알고리즘에서도 본 논문에서 제안하는 설계방법을 적용하면 타겟 어플리케이션에 효율적인 하드웨어 설계를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 시험은 저면관수 방식의 파프리카 육묘 시 암면큐브에 대한 다양한 급액시점 (IP 30%, 40% 50%, 60% 및 70%)에 따른 파프리카 묘의 소질을 조사하였다. 급액시점에 따른 파프리카 묘의 생육량은 급액시점과 정의상관을 나타내었다. 특히 IP 30~40% 처리구와 IP 50~70% 처리구들 간 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내었다. 엽면적은 50% 이상의 처리구에서 40%이하의 처리구에 비해 50~100%정도 더 넓었고, 건물중도 30%~60% 정도 더 무거웠다. IP 50% 이상 처리구에서 건물 중의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 급액시점(X)은 파프리카 묘의 엽면적(Y₁)과 Y₁=48.311x+133.7(R² = 0.9116^⁎⁎), 건물중(Y₂)과는 Y₂=0.1584x+0.8616(R² = 0.8853^⁎)의 선형회귀관계를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구 조건에서 파프리카 육묘 시 처리 간 엽면적과 건물생산량을 고려하였을 때 수분함량 100%인 암면큐브 무게의 50%에 급액하는 것이 적합하고 경제적일 것으로 생각된다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to compare the surface roughness, phase transformation, and surface topography of dental zirconia with three different yttrium oxide compositions under same grinding and polishing conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three zirconia disks (IPS e.max ZirCAD LT, MT, MT multi, Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein) were selected for experimental materials. Sixty-nine bar-shaped specimens were fabricated as 12.0 × 6.0 × 4.0 mm using a milling machine and glazing was conducted on 12.0 × 6.0 mm surface by same operator. With a custom polishing device, 12.0 × 6.0 mm surfaces were polished under same condition. Surface roughness (Ra[㎛]) was measured before grinding (C), after grinding (G), and at every 3 steps of polishing (P1, P2, P3). X-ray diffraction and FE-SEM observation was conducted before grinding, after grinding, and after fine polishing (P3). Statistical analysis of surface roughness was performed using Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney-U test was used as a post hoc test (α = .05). RESULTS. There were no significant differences of surface roughness between LT, MT, and MM groups. In LT, MT, and MM groups, P3 groups showed significantly lower surface roughness than C groups. X-ray diffraction showed grinding and polishing didn't lead to phase transformation on zirconia surface. In FE-SEM images, growths in grain size of zirconia were observed as yttrium oxide composition increases. CONCLUSION. Polished zirconia surface showed clinically acceptable surface roughness, but difference in yttrium oxide composition had no significant influence on the surface roughness. Therefore, in clinical situation, zirconia polishing burs could be used regardless of yttrium oxide composition.
