  • 넓은 가변 범위를 가지는 LC 탱크 전압 제어 발진기에 관해 본 논문에서 소개하고자 한다. LC 탱크 전압 제어 발진기의 발진을 소멸시키는 밀러 증폭기의 ESR을 제거함으로써 넓은 가변 범위를 얻을 수 있다. LC 탱크 전압 제어 발진기는 발진기 코어와 버퍼, 밴드갭(bandgap) 기준 전압 발생기 그리고 드라이브 증폭기로 구성되어 있다. 발진기 코어는 1.3mA의 전류를 소모하고 약 1GHz의 가변 범위를 가진다. 출력주파수의 가변 범위내에 발진기의 출력 전력은 3dBm 이내로 변한다. 이러한 LC 탱크 전압 제어 발진기는 BiCMOS 공정을 이용하여 제작되었고 2.7V 단일 전원에서 31.5mW의 전력을 소모한다.

  • This paper presents a practical methodology for realistic simulation on reverse characteristics of Wide Bandgap (WBG) SiC and GaN p-n junctions. The adjustment on certain physic-based model parameters, such as the trap density and photo-generation for SiC junction, and impact ionization coefficients and critical field for GaN junction are described. The adjusted parameters were used in Synopsys Medici simulation to obtain a realistic p-n junction avalanche breakdown voltage. The simulation results were verified through benchmarking against independent data reported by others.

  • The optical properties of III-V compound semiconductor structure was investgated by photoreflectance (PR). The results show two signals at 1.42 and 1.73eV. These are attributed to the bandgap energy of GaAs, AlGaAs, respectively. Also, AlGaAs region showed weak signal. This signal is attributed to carbon or si defect.

  • Nitrogen-doped $TiO_2$ particles have been successfully prepared using titanium tetraisopropoxide as the Ti source and urea as the nitrogen source. As-prepared nitrogen-doped $TiO_2$ was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET) and ultraviolet-visible light (UV-vis) absorption spectra techniques. Photocatalytic degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) has been carried out in both solar light (UV-vis) and the visible region (${\lambda}=420nm$). Nitrogen-doped $TiO_2$ exhibits higher activity than the commercial $TiO_2$ photocalyst, particularly under visible-light irradiation because bandgap of nitrogen-doped $TiO_2$ becomes remarkably decreased.

  • Blue-green and green LEDs have been successfully fabricated grown by MBE, which has introduced the $ZnS_ySe_{1-x-y}:Te_x$ (x=0.04, y~0.11-0.14) ternary epilayer as an active layer. From the I-V characteristics, the built-in voltage (~2.1 V) is very small compared to other wide bandgap LEDs, such as commercial InGaN-based LEDs (>3.2 V). From the C-V profiling, the effective carrier concentration in the p-type ZnMgSSe cladding layer was evaluated as ${\sim}2.8{\times}10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$ for the present LEDs.

  • This paper conducts a study on the frequency-dependent filtering and blocking effects of a variety of periodic structures, dubbed frequency selective surface(FSS). The periodic structures of interest are 1D and 2D repeated patterns of metal patches or slots sitting on the interface between the two different regions in the layered media which will show the capacitive or inductive behaviors and incorporated with the electromagnetic bandgap(EBG) geometry as another stratified media. Besides the normal substances so called double positive(DPS)-type in the layered media, metamaterials of double negative(DNG) are considered as layering components on the purpose of investigating the unusual electromagnetic phenomena. Frequency responses of transmission(absorption in terms of scattering) and reflection will be calculated by a numerical analysis which can be validated by the comparison with the open literature and demonstrated for the periodic structures embedding metamaterials or not. Most importantly, numerous examples of FSS will present the useful guidelines to have absorption or reflection properties in the frequency domain.

  • This paper proposes a novel low-cost CMOS temperature sensor for controlling the self-refresh period of a mobile DRAM. In this temperature sensor, ring oscillators composed of cascaded inverter stages are used to obtain the temperature of the chip. This method is highly area-efficient, simple and easy for IC implementation as compared to traditional temperature sensors based on analog bandgap reference circuits. The proposed CMOS temperature sensor was fabricated with 80 nm 3-metal DRAM process. It occupies a silicon area of only about less than $0.02\;mm^2$ at $10^{\circ}C$ resolution with under 5uW power consumption at 1 sample/s processing rate. This area is about 33% of conventional temperature sensor in mobile DRAM.

  • 본 실험에서는 MgO (99.999%)와 ZnO (99.999%)의 두가지 타겟을 사용한 RF co-스퍼터링법을 이용하여 p-type Si (100) 기판 위에 $Zn_{1-x}Mg_xO$ 박막을 증착 하였다. ZnO 타겟의 RF-power은 고정시키고 MgO 타겟의 RF-power를 조절함으로써 Mg 함량을 조절하였다. EDX분석을 통해 MgO RF-power의 증가에 따라 고용되는 Mg의 함량이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 MgZnO내 Mg 함량이 높아짐에 따라 c-축 격자상수가 감소하는 것을 XRD분석을 통해 알 수 있었고, MgO기반의 2차상은 형성되지 않았다. PL 측정을 통해 Mg함량이 증가 할수록 UV 영역의 파장의 강도는 감소하고 UV 파장의 위치는 blueshift되는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었다.

  • Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films were deposited on sapphire substrate by using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering and were performed in the temperature range of $600-900^{\circ}C$ by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The crystallographic structure and the surface morphology were investigated by using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The crystallinity of the films was improved with increasing the annealing temperature and the average size of crystalline grains was found to be 50 nm. All the thin films showed an average transmittance of 92% in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. As the annealing temperature was increased, the bandgap energy was decreased and the violet photoluminescence (PL) signal at 400 nm replaced the ultraviolet PL signal. The electrical properties of the thin films showed a significant dependence on the annealing temperature.
