Recently, $Cu_2ZnSn(S_xSe_{1-x})_4$ (CZTSSe) has been received a tremendous attraction as light absorber material in thin film solar cells (TFSCs), because of its earth abundance, inexpensive and non-toxic constituents and versatile material characteristics. Kesterite CZTSSe thin films were synthesized by sulfo-selenization of sputtered Cu/Sn/Zn stacked metallic precursors. The sulfo-selenization of Cu/Sn/Zn stacked metallic precursor thin films has been carried out in a graphite box using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) technique. Annealing process was done under sulfur and selenium vapor pressure using Ar gas at $520^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The effect of tuning Se/(S+Se) precursor composition ratio on the properties of CZTSSe films has been investigated. The XRD, Raman, FE-SEM and XRF results indicate that the properties of sulfo-selenized CZTSSe thin films strongly depends on the Se/(S+Se) composition ratio. In particular, the CZTSSe TFSCs with Se/(S+Se) = 0.37 exhibits the best power conversion efficiency of 4.83% with $V_{oc}$ of 467 mV, $J_{sc}$ of $18.962mA/cm^2$ and FF of 54%. The systematic changes observed with increasing Se/(S+Se) ratio have been discussed in detail.

본 논문에서는 폴리머 도파로를 이용하여 소형 이중 링 공진 반사기를 설계하고 제작하여 그 측정 결과를 분석하였다. 소형 이중 링 공진 반사기는 반경이 서로 다른 두 개의 링 공진기 구조에 의한 버니어 효과로 인해 넓은 범위의 파장가변 특성을 확인 할 수 있었다. 소형 이중 링 반사기의 삽입 손실을 줄이기 위해 도파로의 길이를 기존에 보고된 소자에 비하여 크게 줄임으로써 부 모드 억제율이 크게 향상됨을 확인 하였다. 측정결과 소형 이중 링 공진 반사기 기반 하이브리드 집적 레이저는 45 dB의 부모드 억제율을 유지하면서 단일 모드로 발진함을 확인하였다. 또한 소형 이중 링 공진 반사기 상부에 형성된 전극에 최대 30 mA의 튜닝전류를 인가하여 약 40 nm 까지의 파장가변을 확인하였다.

코어가 확산된 단일모드 광섬유와 외부 물질 사이의 분산 특성의 차이를 이용하여 차단 특성이 우수한 단파장 통과 필터(short-pass filter)를 구현하였다. 두 물질의 결합 방법으로 측면 연마 기법을 도입하였다. 실험 결과 소자의 대역경계 파장(band edge wavelength)은 코어의 확산 정도로 조절이 가능하였다. 일반 통신용 단일 모드 대신에 열확산 코어 확산 광섬유를 도입함으로써 더 예리한 파장응답을 얻을 수 있었다. 열광학 효과를 이용하여 경계 파장을 400nm 이상 가변 할 수 있음을 관측하였다.

휴대용 단말에 간편하게 구현 가능하도록 GPS의 코드의사거리 관측치 기반의 정밀단독측위(PPP; Precise Point Positioning) 알고리즘을 개발하고 그 성능을 검증하였다. PPP에 필요한 기본 모델로 그룹 딜레이, 상대성 효과, 위성안테나 위상중심오프셋 보정모델을 적용하였다. 위성 궤도와 시계오차는 IGS(International GNSS Service) 공식 산출물에 최적의 알고리즘을 통해 보간하고, 대류권과 전리층 오차는 각각 과학기술용 GPS 자료처리 소프트웨어로 산출한 참값과 GIM(Global Ionosphere Model)을 사상함수를 적용해 시선방향 오차로 변환해 적용하였다. 개발된 알고리즘을 4일간 테스트한 결과 수평오차는 0.8~1.6m, 수직오차는 1.6~2.2m 수준으로 나타났다. 이는 DGPS 측위결과와 유사한 성능으로 향후 PPP 알고리즘의 추가개선이 이루어질 경우 다양한 측량 및 위치기반서비스 분야에 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 메타구조를 이용하여 하나의 RF GaN HEMT로 새로운 이중대역에 전력증폭기를 구현하였다. CRLH 전송선로는 이중- 대역 조절 특성을 갖는 메타물질 전송 선로를 만들 수 있다. CRLH 전송 선로의 이중 대역 동작은 전력증폭기의 정합 회로를 구현을 위하여 주파수 오프셋과 CRLH 전송 선로의 비선형 위상 기울기에 의해 얻을 수 있다. 이중대역에서 CRLH 전송 선로를 이용하여 이중대역에서 오직 2차, 3차 고조파 성분만을 조절하였다. 또한, 제안된 전력증폭기의 효율을 향상 시키기 위하여 출력 정합 회로뿐만 아니라 입력 정합회로도 고조파 조절 회로를 이용하여 구현하였다. 두 동작 주파수는 900MHz와 2140MHz로 정하였다. 전력증폭기의 측정된 출력 전력은 각각 900MHz에서 39.37dBm, 2140MHz에서 38.87 dB이다. 이 지점에서 얻은 전력효율 및 IMD는 900MHz에서 PAE 60.2%, IMD는 -23.17dBc, 2140MHz에서 PAE 67.3%, IMD -25.67dBc이다.

Handling precise timing in high-speed transceivers has always been a primary design target to achieve better performance. Many different approaches have been tried, and one of those is utilizing the beneficial nature of injection locking. Though the phenomenon was not intended for building integrated circuits at first, its coupling effect between neighboring oscillators has been utilized deliberately. Consequently, the dynamics of the injection-locked oscillator (ILO) have been explored, starting from R. Adler. As many aspects of the ILO were revealed, further studies followed to utilize the technique in practice, suggesting alternatives to the conventional frequency syntheses, which tend to be complicated and expensive. In this review, the historical analysis techniques from R. Adler are studied for better comprehension with proper notation of the variables, resulting in numerical results. In addition, how the timing jitter or phase noise in the ILO is attenuated from noise sources is presented in contrast to the clock generators based on the phase-locked loop (PLL). Although the ILO is very promising with higher cost effectiveness and better noise immunity than other schemes, unless correctly controlled or tuned, the promises above might not be realized. In order to present the favorable conditions, several strategies have been explored in diverse applications like frequency multiplication, data recovery, frequency division, clock distribution, etc. This paper reviews those research results for clock multiplication and data recovery in detail with their advantages and disadvantages they are referring to. Through this review, the readers will hopefully grasp the overall insight of the ILO, as well as its practical issues, in order to incorporate it on silicon successfully.

A mental task combined with noise background is an effective model of laboratory stress for study of psychophysiology of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The intensity of the background noise significantly affects both a subjective evaluation of experienced stress level during test and the physiological responses associated with mental load in noisy environments. Providing tests of similar difficulties we manipulated the background noise intensity as a main factor influencing a psychophysiological outcome and the analyzed reactivity along withe the noise intensity dimension. The goal of this study was to identify the patterns of ANS responses and the relevant subjective stress scores during performance of word recognition tasks on the background of white noise (WN) of the different intensities (55, 70 and 85 dB). Subjects were 27 college students (19-24 years old). BIOPAC, Grass Neurodata System and AcqKnowlwdge 3.5 software were used to record ECG, PPG, SCL, skin temperature, and respiration. Experimental manipulations were effective in producing subjective and physiological responses usually associated with stress. The results suggested that the following potential autonomic mechanisms might be involved in the mediation of the observed physiological responses: A sympathetic activation with parasympathetic withdrawal during mild 55 and 70dB noise (featured by similar profiles) and simultaneous activation of sympathetic and parasympathetic systems during intense 85dB WN. The parasympathetic activation in this case might be a compensatory effect directed to prevent sympathetic domination and to maintain optimal arousal state for the successful performance on mental stress task. It should be mentioned that obtained results partially support Gellhorn's (1960; 1970) "tuning phenomenon" as a possible mechanism underlying stress response.

This paper provides an evaluation of an optimization-based, multiple-input double-output (MIDO) run-to-run (R2R) control scheme for general semiconductor manufacturing processes. The controller in this research, termed adaptive dual response optimizing controller (ADROC), can serve as a process optimizer as well as a recipe regulator between consecutive runs of wafer fabrication. In evaluation, it is assumed that the equipment model could be appropriately described by a pair of second-order polynomial functions in terms of a set of controllable variables. Of practical relevance is to consider a drifting effect in the equipment model since in common semiconductor practice the process tends to drift due to machine aging and tool wearing. We select a typical application of R2R control to chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) in semiconductor manufacturing in this evaluation, and there are five different CMP process scenarios demonstrated, including mean shift, variance increase, and IMA disturbances. For the controller, ADROC, an on-line estimation technique is implemented in a self-tuning (ST) control manner for the adaptation purpose. Subsequently, an ad hoc global optimization algorithm based on the dual response approach, arising from the response surface methodology (RSM) literature, is used to seek the optimum recipe within the acceptability region for the execution of next run. The main components of ADROC are described and its control performance is assessed. It reveals from the evaluation that ADROC can provide excellent control actions for the MIDO R2R situations even though the process exhibits complicated, nonlinear interaction effects between control variables, and the drifting disturbances.

The purpose of this study was to determine the biomechanical effect of wearing carbon nanotube-based insole on cushioning and muscle tuning during drop landing. Twenty male university students(age: $21.2{\pm}1.5yrs$, height: $175.4{\pm}4.7cm$, weight: $70.2{\pm}5.8kg$) who have no musculoskeletal disorder were recruited as the subjects. Average axial strain, average shear strain, inversion angle, linear velocity, angular velocity, vertical GRF and loading rate were determined for each trial. For each dependent variable, a one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) with repeated measures was performed to test if significant difference existed among different three conditions(p<.05). The results showed that Average axial strain of line 4 was significantly less in CNT compared with EVA and PU during IP phase. The average shear strain was less in CNT compared with EVA and PU during other phases. The inversion angle was increased in CNT compared with EVA and PU during all phase. In linear velocity, angular velocity, vertical GRF and loading rate, there were no significant difference between the three groups. This result seems that fine particle of carbon nanotube couldn't make geometric form which can absolve impact force by increasing density through eliminating voids of forms. Thus, searching for methods that keep voids of forms may play a pivotal role in developing of insole. This has led to suggestions of the need for further biomechanical analysis to these factors.
