In recent years, LSI devices have become more powerful and lower-priced, caused by a development of various wafer materials and an increase in the diameter of wafers. On the other hand, these have created some serious problems in manufacturing of wafers because materials used as semiconductor substrate are very brittle. In view of this fact, there are some trials to apply shear-mode(or ductile-mode) grinding for efficient manufacturing of semiconductor wafers instead of conventional lapping process. In fact grinding process that has not only more excellent degree of accuracy but also more adaptable to fully automated manufacturing than lapping, is already used in Si machining field. This paper described the elementary studies to establish the grinding technology of wafers. First, we investigated the variation of grinding force and the transition of grinding mode as various grinding conditions. Then, it was inspected that the change of grinding force affected the integrity such as the topography and the roughness of ground surfaces, and led to the chemical defects generation and distribution in damaged layer. The degree of defects was estimated by FT-IR(Fourier Transformed Infrared) Spectroscopy and Auger Electron Spectroscopy

This paper is studied for the improvement of the characteristics of gate oxide with 3-nm-thick gate oxide by deuterium ion implantation methode. Deuterium ions were implanted to account for the topography of the overlaying layers and placing the D peak at the top of gate oxide. A short anneal at forming gas to nitrogen was performed to remove the damage of D-implantation. We simulated the deuterium ion implantation to find the optimum condition by SRIM (stopping and range of ions in matter) tool. We got the optimum condition by the results of simulation. We compare the electrical characteristics of the optimum condition with others terms. We also analyzed the electrical characteristics to change the annealing conditions after deuterium ion implantation. The results of the analysis, the breakdown time of the gate oxide was prolonged in the optimum condition. And a variety of annealing, we realized the dielectric property that annealing is good at longer time. However, the high temperature is bad because of thermal stress.

As there are many human activities in the coastal regions, various facilities and coastal engineering structures for protecting beach have been built. Dredging work, reclamation and harbor construction have caused the topography of sea floor to change rapidly. So sedimentation in the vicinity of the groins has get dull and the serious aspects sometimes turn up. Analyzing the surface sediments with transport vector model is one of the good methods to understand the sedimentation in the vicinity of the groins. I analyzed the transport vector of the surface sediments in the vicinity of the groins at the region where serious beach erosion happens near Pohang harbor.

As part of the safety case development for generic disposal sites in Korea, it is necessary to develop generic assessment models using various geosphere-biosphere interfaces (GBIs) and potentially exposed groups (PEGs) that reflect the natural environmental characteristics and the lifestyles of people in Korea. In this study, a unique modeling strategy was developed to systematically construct and select Korean generic biosphere assessment models. The strategy includes three process steps (combination, screening, and experts' scoring) for the biosphere system conditions. First, various conditions, such as climate, topography, GBIs, and PEGs, were combined in the biosphere system. Second, the combined calculation cases were configured into interrelation matrices to screen out some calculation cases that were highly unlikely or less significant in terms of the exposure dose. Finally, the selected calculation cases were prioritized based on expert judgment by scoring the knowledge, probability, and importance. The results of this study can be implemented in the development of biosphere assessment models for Korean generic sites. It is believed that this systematic methodology for selecting the candidate calculation cases can contribute to increasing the confidence of future site-specific biosphere assessment models.

The alarming climate change impacts are demanding the use of renewable energy sources like never before. Hydropower is one of the most cost-effective and environmental friendly energy technology recognized in the world. Big hydropower projects come up with the requirements of huge investment costs along with environmental impacts, whereas small hydropower(SHP) are considered a best solution for the economical source of energy. SHP, basically Run-of-River (RoR) type plants can be sustainable renewable energy sources and given the nature of perennial rivers flowing from steep gradient and rugged topography, feasibility of such plants is equally high in Nepal. The objective of this study is to determine the primary potential sites for the development of RoR type SHP sites using Geo-spatial Information System(GSIS). The use of GSIS enables precise survey of large area within a short period of time. This study has focused on the determination of locations by establishing defined criterions and methodologies and hence have located multiple locations rather than selecting one best location. The approach is applicable for the rapid initial screening of potential locations and results can facilitate detail feasibility study for the technical and economic analysis of SHP in the basin.

Adjusting weather radar data is a prerequisite for its use in various hydrological studies. Effect of spatial variables are considered to adjust weather radar data in many of these researches. The existence of diverse topography in South Korea has increased the importance of analyzing these variables. In this study, some spatial variable like slope, elevation, aspect, distance from the sea, plan and profile curvature was considered. To investigate different topographic conditions, tried to use three radar station of Gwanaksan, Gwangdeoksan and Gudeoksan which are located in northwest, north and southeast of South Korea, respectively. To form the suitable fuzzy model and create the best membership functions of variables, ANFIS-PSO model was applied. After optimizing the model, the correlation coefficient and sensitivity of adjusted Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (QPE) based on spatial variables was calculated to find how variables work in adjusted QPE process. The results showed that the variable of elevation causes the most change in rainfall and consequently in the adjustment of radar data in model. Accordingly, the sensitivity ratio calculated for variables shows that with increasing rainfall duration, the effects of these variables on rainfall adjustment increase. The approach of this study, due to the simplicity and accuracy of this method, can be used to adjust the weather radar data and other required models.

The recent increase in impermeable surfaces due to urbanization and the occurrence of concentrated heavy rainfall events caused by climate change have led to an increase in urban flooding. To predict and prepare for flood damage, a convenient and highly accurate simulation of rainfall-runoff based on geospatial information is essential. In this study, the storm water management model (SWMM) was applied to simulate rainfall runoff in the Bangbae-dong area of Seoul, using two sets of topographical data: The conventional topographic digital elevation model (TOPO-DEM) and the proposed shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM)-DEM. To evaluate the applicability of the SRTM-DEM for rainfall-runoff modeling, two DEMs were constructed for the study area, and rainfall-runoff simulations were performed. The construction of the terrain data for the study area generally reflected the topographical characteristics of the area. Quantitative evaluation of the rainfall-runoff simulation results indicated that the outcomes were similar to those obtained using the existing TOPO-DEM. Based on the results of this study, we propose the use of SRTM-DEM, a more convenient terrain data, in rainfall-runoff studies, rather than asserting the superiority of a specific geospatial data.

To analyze quantitatively environmental characteristics of cultivation area of citrus, Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.), we made digital maps of environmental elements such as topography and climate. Elevation, degree of slope, and slope aspect were selected as elements of topological environment, and the annual mean air temperature, annual total precipitation, mean air temperature on January, extreme value of daily minimum air temperature, and the number of days below $-5^{\circ}C$ were selected as elements of climatic environments. The grid values of 8 environmental elements were extracted by shape of citrus farm area and analyzed distribution patterns. We can determine 3 agroclimatic criteria for growing Satsuma mandarin as over $14.5^{\circ}C$ of annual mean air temperature, over $-10.0^{\circ}C$ of extreme value of daily minimum air temperature, and less 5 days of below $-5^{\circ}C$ of daily minimum air temperature.
