- 1. Korean Researcher Develops 40-cm Level High-Resolution Synthetic-
- Aperture Radar
- Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) is three-dimensional (3D) radar that can detect objects on the
- ground or the shallow sea in a 3D image. Currently, the world's best SAR is the 30-cm level SAR
- installed in the US unmanned aerial vehicle, Predator, or Global Hawk, USA, which is capable of
- recognizing an encyclopedia-sized book.
-
- Prof. Min-Ho KA at Korea Polytechnic University (KPU) and Samsung Thales Co. (STC) has
- developed a 40-cm level SAR (model KPU-STC) that is capable of recognizing an object
- measuring 40 cm × 1.5 meters in size.
-
- Prof. KA's development team recently succeeded in taking precise pictures of the eastern
- mountain area in South Korea utilizing the developed SAR from a helicopter. (see Figure 1
- below). Previously, the highest resolution SAR ever developed was the Agency for Defense
- Development's (ADD)'s 1.5 m x 1.5 m SAR (model KOMSAR).
-
- Professor KA's SAR is not affected by weather status or dark light conditions, because it uses
- waves instead of light to view objects. According to Professor KA, the high-resolution optical
- camera used on a surveillance airplane or satellite is typically operational only 30% of the time
- in a year due to weather conditions. In the meantime, the developed SAR can be used in 365
- days a year, as long as the object is not hidden inside a cave or concrete building.
-
- SAR can be utilized for underground mining or disaster status monitoring. It is particularly very
- useful in locating metal resources, since metal reflects waves very well. The Korean satellite,
- Arirang 5, which is scheduled be launched in 2010, will have SAR capabilities.
-
- Professor KA's team has developed a correction technology for a flying airplane's vibration
- utilizing a Global Positioning System (GPS) and an Inertial Navigation System (INS) sensor in
- order to increase the radar's accuracy. In addition, they have developed a radar signal
- synthetic technology with high resolution. Prof. KA also plans to develop 12.5-cm level SAR
- within a couple of years utilizing a high-speed digital chip.

- 1. CAS Researchers Make Progress on 3D Micro/Nano-structure Fabrication
-
- Due to the diffraction limit of conventional optical theory, it
- is difficult to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) structures at
- nanometer scale utilizing existing lithography techniques. A
- multiphoton processing technique based on non-linear
- optical theory provides a new approach to break through
- the diffraction limit and obtain nanometer scale resolution.
- Chinese researcher Xuanming DUAN and his team at the
- Laboratory of Organic NanoPhotonics, Technical Institute
- of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences
- (CAS) have recently fabricated 3D microstructure of
- nanocomposites utilizing a novel method combining the
- multiphoton polymerization technique and
- in situ synthesis.
- Their work was published online January 31, 2008 in the
- Journal
- of
- Advanced
- Materials
- DOI:
- 10.1002/1dma200702035, which was also highlighted in
- Nature 451:868 (2008).
- The multiphoton polymerization
-
- of CdS-polymer nanocomposites was used to fabricate 3D
- luminescent structures such as the multicolor micro-bulls and lizards shown in Figure 1. The
- CdS nanoparticles were synthesized
- in situ within the polymer matrices, with their size
- controlled by the amount of added crosslinker.
- The demonstrated fabrication method for micro-bulls and lizards testifies theoretically that this
- method could be used for producing micro luminescent devices.

- 2. World's Fastest Transistor Unveiled in Korea
-
- Prof. Kwang-Seok SEO of Seoul National University (SNU) recently unveiled the world s fastest
- compound transistor, which was developed under the support of Korea s Ministry of Science
- and Technology s (MOST s) Tera-Level Nanodevice Program.
- Figure 1. 3D images created utilizing
- the multiphoton processing technique

- 1. NTU and UNM Working on Novel Bio-MEMS Devices
- Researchers have invented a tiny probe equipped with an ultrasound scanner that can travel
- through veins and arteries, taking ultrasound images of its surroundings. Unlike previous probes
- that travel through the body, which could only provide a view from one direction at a time, the
- new device has seven imagers integrated onto the hexagonal prism that can see nearly
- everywhere at once.
-
- With a length of one micrometer, the probe is a true MEMS device. At that size, the probe
- could be threaded through blood vessels in the brain, seeking out possible signs of a stroke and
- could be used to measure blood flow rates. Alternatively, the probe could be swallowed like a
- pill, and directed toward uncharted territory in the body.
-
- The device can provide images similar to those taken of an unborn baby from outside the body
- via ultrasound techniques. However, taking images from the inside is much more difficult, since
- longer wavelengths are required, which reduces resolution.
-
- The researchers, who are from the University of New Mexico (UNM) in Albuquerque (US) and
- National Taiwan University (NTU) in Taipei, Taiwan, have tested the probe in water and next
- plan to test it on animals.
- (Source: New Scientist and interviews)
-
- ATIP Analyst's Remarks: Due to stringent (and expensive) procedures for FDA
- approval for such a device to make it to the market in the US, this device is likely to be
- used in human trials first in Taiwan. ATIP has heard that the device has yielded very
- promising results.

- Power Semiconductors as Important as Gasoline Engines" to Toyota
- Mr. Shigematsu TAKASHI, managing officer of Toyota Motor Corp., recently gave a speech titled
- "Toyota's Challenge in Embedded Software Development" at the Embedded Technology 2007
- conference, which was held November 11-16, 2007 at Pacifico Yokohama in Japan.
-
- TAKASHI explained the development strategy for the device technologies, which are crucial in
- the development of electric vehicles. Among the device technologies, Toyota regards the control
- integrated circuits (ICs), such as power semiconductors, micro electromechanical system (MEMS)
