Silicon heterojunction solar cells (SHJ) have dominated the photovoltaic market up till now but their conversion performance is practically limited to around 26% compared with the theoretical efficiency limit of 29.4%. A silicon based multi-junction devices are expected to overcome this limitation. In this report, we briefly review the state-of-art characteristic of wide-gap materials which has played a role as top sub-cells in silicon based multi-junction solar cells. In addition, we indicate significantly practical challenges and key issues of these multi-junction combination. Finally, we focus to some characteristics of III-V/c-Si tandem configuration which are reaching highly record performance in multi-junction silicon solar cells.

Plasma-induced charging damage was been measured during TaN gate electrode of MISFET(TaN/$HfO_2$/Si) or interconnection metal etching step using large antenna structures. The results of these experiments were obtained that $HfO_2$ gate dielectric layer was affected about plasma charging effects and damage increased with F-N tunneling. Therefore, the etching conditions should be optimized to avoid the defects caused by plasma charging.

This paper proposes an architecture for high-speed data processing of the DF-DPD. The DF-DPD have the architecture feedbacking the detected phase to reduce the noise of the previous symbol as phase reference. However, the feedback of the detected phase results in lower data processing speed than that of the conventional differential phase detection. In this paper, an architecture is proposed for high-speed data processing of the differential phase detectors with decision feedback in the DF-DPD.

This paper presents a wide output range, high power efficiency reconfigurable charge pump for driving touch panels with the high resistances. The charge pump is composed of 4-stages and its configuration automatically changes based on the required output voltage level. In order to keep the power efficiency over the wide output voltage range, internal blocks are automatically activated or deactivated by the clock driver in the reconfigurable charge pump minimizing the switching power loss due to the On and Off operations of MOSFET. In addition, the leakage current paths in each mode are blocked to compensate for the variation of power efficiency with respect to the wide output voltage range. This chip is fabricated using $0.18{\mu}m$ BCD process with high power MOSFET options, and the die area is $1870{\mu}m{\times}1430{\mu}m$. The power consumption of the charge pump itself is 79.13 mW when the output power is 415.45 mW at the high voltage mode, while it is 20.097 mW when the output power is 89.903 mW at the low voltage mode. The measured maximum power efficiency is 84.01 %, when the output voltage is from 7.43 V to 12.23 V.

전자화폐가 안전하게 널리 사용되기 위해서는 여러 가지 특성을 만족해야 한다. 그러한 특성 중에서 데이터의 손실이나 분실에 따른 피해를 막기 위한 복구가능성과 사용자의 전자화폐 사용 내역과 같은 정보를 보호하기 위한 불추적성은 서로 충돌하는 특성으로 동시에 달성하는 것이 매우 어렵다. 기존에 제안된 전자회폐 시스템에서는 이 문제를 해결하는 과정에서 해쉬함수를 사용하였으나, 해쉬함수의 충돌회피성 때문에 실제로 구현하여 사용하는데 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이에 대한 해결 방안을 제시하여 좀 더 효율적으로 구현 가능한 전자화폐 시스템을 제안한다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the The correlation between information processing types and mathematical communication abilities / word problem solving abilities. The results obtained are as follows: 1 Simultaneous/continuous information process types showed statistically high correlation with mathematical communication abilities. However, the correlation between simultaneous information process and mathematical communication abilities is a little higher than the correlation between continuous information process and mathematical communication abilities. 2. There is a high correlation between mathematical communication abilities and word problem solving abilities. Especially, speaking ability is much more correlated with four factors of word problem solving than reading, writing and listening, Through this study, we can conclude that information process types should be consider ed in order to improve mathematical communication abilities and mathematical communication abilities is essential in word problem solving.

Communication is a process involving a group of interrelated elements working together for the purpose of information transfer. This paper discusses information retrieval as a communication process in the 21st century library. The difficulties associated with access to recorded knowledge through bibliographic control devices have been exacerbated by the interposition of additional encoding processes in the library and further decoding by the users. In addition, the innovation of internet/web has revolutionized the means and mode of communication process in the library by flooding information seekers with information and creating an illusion of self-sufficiency in many users. With these changes in information seeking behaviour and pattern, a cybernetic approach to information retrieval has emerged emphasizing adaptive control mechanisms and feedback processes. This paper argues that libraries should strive to continuously remain relevant by keeping abreast with changes in the behavior of information users. To this end, this paper proposes apomediatic-cybernetic model of communication, which illustrates information retrieval processes for the 21st-century library.
