This paper presents a novel reset scheme for mm-scale sensing systems with stringent volume and area constraints. In such systems, multi-layer structure is required to maximize the silicon area per volume and minimize the system size. The multi-layer structure requires wirebonding connections for power delivery and communication among layers, but the area overhead for wirebonding pads can be significant. The proposed reset scheme exploits already existing power wires and thus does not require additional wires for system-wide reset operation. To implement the proposed reset scheme, a power management unit is designed to impose reset condition, and a reset detector is designed to interpret the reset condition indicated by the power wires. The reset detector uses a coupling capacitor for the initial power-up and a feedback path to hold the developed supply voltage. The prototype reset detector is fabricated in a $180-{\mu}m$ CMOS process, and the measurement results with the prototype mm-scale system confirmed robust reset operation over a wide range of temperatures and voltages.

다양한 구조의 라이다(light detection and ranging, LiDAR)가 존재함에도 불구하고 넓은 화각을 유지하면서 장거리 측정과 수직, 수평 방향 모두에서 높은 해상도를 만족하는 LiDAR를 구현하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 스캐닝 구조는 장거리 탐지 및 수직, 수평 방향에 대한 높은 해상도를 만족하는 고성능 LiDAR를 구현하는 데 유리하지만, 넓은 화각을 확보하기 위해서는 검출 속도에 불리한 대면적 광 검출기(photodetector, PD)가 필수적이다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 다수의 소면적 PD를 고속의 단일 대면적 PD로 작동할 수 있는 static unitary detector(STUD) 기술 기반의 PD를 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 InP/InGaAs STUD PIN-PD는 1,256 ㎛×19 ㎛의 단위 면적을 가지는 32개 소면적 PD를 활용하여 1,256 ㎛×949 ㎛ 이내에서 다양한 형태로 설계 및 제작하였다. 이후 다양한 형태로 제작된 STUD PD의 특성과 감도는 물론 이를 활용한 LiDAR 수신 보드의 잡음 및 신호 특성에 대해 측정 및 분석하였다. 마지막으로 STUD PD가 적용된 LiDAR 수신 보드를 1.5-㎛ master oscillator power amplifier 레이저를 광원으로 활용하는 3차원 스캐닝 LiDAR 시제품에 적용하였고, 이를 통해 대각 32.6도의 광각에서 50 m 이상의 장거리 물체를 정밀하게 탐지하면서 320 px×240 px의 고해상도 3차원 영상을 동시에 확보하였다.

In this work, an individual trespassing detector using a PIR sensor to detect infrared rays only between the range of $9.4{\sim}10.4{\mu}m$ radiated from the body is proposed. This detector using FIR sensor detects not insect or object but human body, It doesn't restrict the inhabitant's behavior because the filter of pm sensor is designed to have face angle and the detector only detects the window area. The existing wide angle filter, RIR sensor, detects $30^{\circ}$ angle while the face angle filter sensor on this paper detects $11^{\circ}$ angle with 3cm of face angle filter from 2m of detecting distance. In case of interruption of electric power, 250mAh of lithium-ion battery has worked for 10 hours consuming 22mA in normal state. Meanwhile, in case of interruption of electric power, 250mAh of battery has worked for 4 hours consuming 60mA in trespassing detecting state. Projector, receptor, controller and alarm are put on one PCB in order to make it convenient to install without any special installation skill.

The COREA (COsmic ray Research and Education Array in Korea) project aims to build a ground array of particle detectors distributed over Korean Peninsular, through collaborations of high school students, educators, and university researchers, in order to study the origin of ultra high energy cosmic rays. COREA array will consist of about 2000 detector stations covering several hundreds of $km^2$ area at its final configuration and detect electrons and muons in extensive air-showers triggered by high energy particles. During the intial phase COREA array will start with a small number of detector stations in Seoul area schools. In this paper, we have studied by Monte Carlo simulations how to select detector sites for optimal detection efficiency for proton triggered air-showers. We considered several model clusters with up to 30 detector stations and calculated the effective number of air-shower events that can be detected per year for each cluster. The greatest detection efficiency is achieved when the mean distance between detector stations of a cluster is comparable to the effective radius of the air-shower of a given proton energy. We find the detection efficiency of a cluster with randomly selected detector sites is comparable to that of clusters with uniform detector spacing. We also considered a hybrid cluster with 60 detector stations that combines a small cluster with ${\Delta}{\iota}{\approx}100m$ and a large cluster with ${Delta}{\iota}{\approx}1km$. We suggest that it can be an ideal configuration for the initial phase study of the COREA project, since it can measure the cosmic rays with a wide range energy, i.e., $10^{16}eV{\leq}E{\leq}10^{19}eV$, with a reasonable detection rate.

The microwave sensor in which the sensitivity was excellent and a structure is simple was developed and it manufactured. And the sensing range that uses the developed product was confirmed. When the developed microwave sensor was set up in the ceiling of a building, we confirmed that the amplitude of the sensitive area increased as the tilting angle was enlarged. The sensitive area became a greatest in case the tilting angle was 65 degree. According to the height of a ceiling, because the sensing range is determined, in case of using in the building in which the height of a ceiling is enough secured it is determined to secure the more wide sensitive area. Moreover, the configuration of the circuit having the simple structure makes the miniaturization of a product, and the light weight possible. It is considered to have the price competitive power which it reduces the manufacturing cost, is sufficient.

This paper presents a fast received signal strength indicator (RSSI) circuit for wireless communication application. The proposed circuit is developed using power detectors and an analog-to-digital converter to achieve a fast settling time. The power detector is consisted of a novel logarithmic variable gain amplifier (VGA), a peak detector, and a comparator in a closed loop. The VGA achieved a wide logarithmic gain range in a closed loop form for stable operation. For the peak detector, a fast settling time and small ripple are obtained using the orthogonal characteristics of quadrature signals. In $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process, the RSSI value settles down in $20{\mu}s$ with power consumption of 20 mW, and the maximum ripple of the RSSI is 30 mV. The proposed RSSI circuit is fabricated with a personal handy-phone system transceiver. The active area is $0.8{\times}0.2\;mm^2$.

Fluorescent yield X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy is useful for analyzing local structure of specific elements in matrices. We developed an XAFS apparatus with a 100-pixel superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) detector array with a high sensitivity and a high resolution for light-element dopants in wide-gap semiconductors. An STJ detector has a pixel size of $100{\mu}m$ square, and an asymmetric layer structure of Nb(300 nm)-Al(70 nm)/AlOx/Al(70 nm)-Nb(50 nm). The 100-pixel STJ array has an effective area of $1mm^2$. The XAFS apparatus with the STJ array detector was installed in BL-11A of High Energy Accelerator Research Organization, Photon Factory (KEK PF). Fluorescent X-ray spectrum for boron nitride showed that the average energy resolution of the 100-pixels is 12 eV in full width half maximum for the N-K line, and The C-K and N-K lines are separated without peak tail overlap. We analyzed the N dopant atoms implanted into 4H-SiC substrates at a dose of 300 ppm in a 200 nm-thick surface layer. From a comparison between measured X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) spectra and ab initio FEFF calculations, it has been revealed that the N atoms substitute for the C site of the SiC lattice.
