In this paper, we propose a mixed driving circuit for the source driver of QVGA-scale TFT-LCD driver IC to reduce the area of the source driver. In the mixed driving circuit, graphic data pass or go through the mixed channel driver whether RGB data are the same or not. The mixed driving circuit has been designed in transistor level using the 0.35um CMOS technology and has been verified using Hspice.

In case of high-tech process industries such as semiconductor and TFT-LCD manufactures, fault of a virtually finished product that is value-added one, since it has gone throughout the most of processes, may give rise to quality cost nearly amount to its selling price and can be a main cause that decreases the efficiency of manufacturing process. This paper proposes a real-time dispatching algorithm for semiconductor manufacturing process with rework. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, this paper examines the performance of the proposed method by comparing it with that of the existing dispatching algorithms, based on various experimental data.

The stocker system is another name of automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) and being popularly used as main material handling tools in Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and semiconductor fabrication facilities. Recently the use of the stocker system has been extended to transportation from conventional storage and retrieval in LCD fabrication facilities. Toolsets are connected in the ground level of the stocker system and 4~6 stories of the shelves are placed in the upper or lower ground level. As a consequence of the more sophisticated design, move requests imposed on the system greatly increased. For solving this problem, the industry adopted the dual-robot stocker system that two robots are moving along the same guide line in the stocker system. This research develops a closed-form solution to estimate a delivery rate of the dual robot stocker system under given design and operation parameters. Using this stochastic model, industry practitioners could analyze performance levels under given various design parameters, and ultimately the model helps optimizing the design parameters.

액정 구동 IC에서 발생하는 기생 p-n-p-n 회로의 래치업 문제를 개선하기 위해 power-up 순서상에 순차 스위치를 삽입하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 순차 스위치는 2차-승압회로와 3차-승압회로 내에 삽입되며, power-up 순서상에서 해당 승압회로가 동작하기 전에 기생 p-n-p-n 회로의 분리된 에미터-베이스 단자를 순차적으로 연결하게 된다. 제안된 구조의 성능을 검증하기 위해 0.13-um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 테스트 IC를 설계 제작하였다 측정 결과, 기존의 경우 $50^{\circ}C$에서 액정 구동 전압이 VSS로 수렴하면서 과전류를 동반하며 래치업 모드로 진입하였으나, 제안 회로를 삽입한 경우는 고온($100^{\circ}C$)에서도 정상 전류 0.9mA와 정상 액정 구동 전압을 나타내어 래치업이 방지되고 있음을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) source driver IC에서 사용되는 고전압 op-amp의 출력 편차를 개선하기 위하여 전압 이득을 향상한 CMOS rail-to-rail 입/출력 op-amp를 제안하였다. 제안된 op-amp는 15 V 이상의 고전압 MOSFET의 과도한 channel length modulation에 의한 전압 이득의 감소로 offset 전압이 커지는 문제를 해결하기 위하여 cascode 구조를 갖는 floating current source 및 class-AB control단을 채용하고 있다. 제안된 op-amp는 HSPICE 시뮬레이션을 통하여 전압 이득이 기존 대비 30 dB 향상됨을 확인하였으며, onset 전압은 기존 6.84 mV에서 $400\;{\mu}V$ 이하로 개선됨을 확인하였다. 또한, 제안된 op-amp가 적용된 LCD source driver IC의 실측 결과 출력 편차는 기존 대비 2 mV 향상됨을 확인하였다.

As the TFT-LCD panels become larger and provide higher resolution, the distributed capacitive and resistive lines induce the propagation delay, reduce the TFT-on time and deteriorate the pixel chargingratio. A number of the compensation methods, like the H-LDC (Horizontal Line Delay Compensation), have been proposed to compensate the propagation delay of the large and high resolution panels [1]. These methods, however, require the comparatively accurate gate propagation delay estimates at each column driver. In this paper, by observing the actual gate and data waveform from 15-inch XGA TFT-LCD panels, we could predict the propagation delay along the row and column line.

A slew-rate control method of LCD driver ICs is introduced to increase uniformity between adjacent driver ICs and reduce power consumption. The slew rate of every voltage follower is calibrated by a feedback algorithm during the non-displaying period. Under normal operation mode, the slew rate is dynamically controlled for improving power efficiency. Experimental results show that the power consumption is reduced by 16% with a white pattern and by 10% with a black pattern, and display defects are successfully eliminated.

Process gases with vapor or liquid phase as well as gas phase may experience alteration in itself or be contaminated in the fluid pipe to the process chamber. And thus it result in as particles or defects on the substrates in semiconductor, LCD, LED manufacturing. Purifiers and filters are used for control of contamination. However, none of detection device is available in the delivery line. In this paper, we propose simple device with lighting and sensing in order to predict contamination of the fluid or the tube wall. For some general purpose gases, it showed constant voltage output regardless of the flow rates. But, the smoke and the moisture in the air lowered the figure due to its concentration. Numerical values for several solid and liquid media were obtained. And, the operating temperature tendency was investigated.
