Organic-inorganic hybrid thermoelectric materials have obtained increasing attention because it opens the possibility of enhancing thermoelectric performance by utilizing the low thermal conductivity of organic thermoelectric materials and the high Seebeck coefficient of inorganic thermoelectric materials. Moreover, the organic-inorganic hybrid thermoelectric materials possess numerous advantages, including functional aspects such as flexibility or transparency, low cost raw materials, and simplified fabrication processes, thus, allowing for a wide range of potential applications. In this study, the types and synthesis methods of organic-inorganic thermoelectric hybrid materials were discussed along with the methods used to enhance their thermoelectric properties. As a key factor to maximize the thermoelectric performances of hybrid thermoelectric materials, the nanoengineering to control the nanostructure of the inorganic materials as well as the modification of the organic material structure and doping level are considered, respectively. Meanwhile, the interface between the inorganic and organic phase is also important to develop the hybrid thermoelectric module with excellent reliability and high thermoelectric efficiency in addition to its performance in various electronic devices.

In this paper, we described the design and test results of a high output power amplifier MMIC developed by using 0.5um power pHEMT processes on a 6-inch GaAs wafer for the X-band T/R module application. In the MMIC design, we have used a simple on-chip gate active bias technology to compensate the threshold-voltage variation of pHEMT during the fabrication process and 16-to-1 power combining method to achieve the output power over 10watt. The fabricated chip has an output power over 12watts and maximum PAE of 32% over the frequency range of fo +/-750MHz.

Carbon nanotubes backlight unit (CNT-BLU) that lightened by field emission was developed into practicability. According to our novel structure, AC mode circuit design and simple printing process, CNT-BLU could achieve 85% of uniformity, 8000 nits of brightness and low material and fabrication cost. Based on these performances, this new planar backlight technology has chances to proceed to mass production and has the potential to replace traditional backlight technology because of its good properties, like the simple processes, easy to large scale, low surface temperature, low power consumption, optical film-free and Hg-free, etc.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated LED navigation lights which can replace the existing ones immediately and overcome disadvantages due to use of conventional lamps. To decide the best arrangement and position of a LED module, optical systems of existing navigation lights were analyzed and refracted routes of rays were simulated. The electrical and optical characteristics of the fabricated LED navigation lights were measured and analyzed with a goniophotometer. To calculate ranges of visibility, the vertical and horizontal luminous intensity distributions were evaluated in accordance with the COLREGs (convention on the international regulation for preventing collisions at Sea). From the results, the proposed LED navigation lights showed suitable characteristics for marine environment with the power consumption reduced by 90% and the maximum luminous intensity increased by 20% compared to the existing navigation lights.

In Projection Stereolithography Apparatus (PSLA), Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) are used as a beam pattern generator. The DMD shows high resolution, but it is mostly applied in micro stereolithography due to high cost and fabricable area. In LCD, the size of pattern beam is freely controlled due to various panel sizes. The LCD, however, has some limitations such as short life time by the high power light source, non-uniform light intensity of pattern beam and low transmittance of UV-light. To solve these problems in LCD-based PSLA, a Scanbeam-SLA with LCD of 19 inches and visible LED-array is developed. In this system, the light module works like a scanner for uniform illumination. The system configuration, working principle and fabrication examples are addressed in this study.

As a transmitter sub-assembly in the XFP(10 Gb/s Small Form Factor Pluggable) transceiver module, a transmitter optical sub-assembly(TOSA) is designed, fabricated and characterized in view of electrical and thermal performances. For a low-cost and compact packaging TOSA, the bias-tee and the matching resistor are monolithically integrated on the AlN sub-mount and a newly designed coplanar waveguide is drawn in the TO-stem. All optoelectronic components packaged in the TOSA are modeled by the equivalent circuit, which helps to improve and characterize the TOSA performance. The fabricated TOSA shows the -3㏈ bandwidth as high as 11 GHz at an elevated temperature of 85$^{\circ}C$.

In this study, for carrying out the spray and combustion experiment using a Common Rail Direct Injection(CRDI) system, the controller was fabricated to drive a high speed camera, a injector and a laser beam sequentially at a low cost. CB280 module of one-chip micro processer was used for the controller. In order to confirm responsibility and utility of the controller, the current drive performance, the spray behavior and the injection rate were tested and analyzed under various experimental conditions. As this research results, we found that the fabricated controller was able to control the devices for the spray experiment precisely with the input value in program and it had the dynamic load responsibility and repetition. Also, we found that the injection rates of our experimental results were higher than those of others at the same injection pressure and the controller connected with the laser system and the data acquisition system had validity for carrying out the spray visualization experiment.

This paper presents the embedded inductors in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for PAM(Power Amplifier Module) of mobile terminations. The inductors are designed, simulated, and compared to conventional chip inductors. The Quality factor(Q) and self-resonance frequency(SRF) of the inductors are evaluated. The quality factors of the inductors are two times higher than those of the chip inductors, and the self-resonance frequency is 1.3 times higher than those of chip inductors at the inductance of 2.7 nH and 3.3 nH respectively.

This study describes the design and implementation of TRM(Transmit and Receiver Module) for detection for targets of small RCS(Radar Cross Section). Through the pre-simulation analysis of radar system about RF, the main specifications of TRM are verified. After the fabrication of TRM, the main characteristics such as the maximum output, noise figure, spurious were confirmed. In the future, the radar system test will be carried out by assembling TRMs, antenna radiator, and the transceiver that generates and receivers the radar waveform reflected.

To drive a magnetron injection gun, thsi paper decribes a design, fabrication and analysis results of proposed compact capacitor charging power supply (CCPS) formed resonant full-bridge inverter for electron gun power supply (EGPS). EGPS needs the -40 kV output voltage and 280 kW output power for few seconds continuously and have to be designed for the rise and fall time to be less than 1 ms with the ripple stability of output voltage of lower than 1%. In order to meet the requirements, we used eight resonant full-bridge modules operated in parallel. Each resonant full-bridge module can supply the current of 0.9 A and the voltage of 40 kV, and is operated by N-phase shift switching pattern. In this paper, we present the design, simulation and test results of interleaved CCPS.
