Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a stacking structure having a material layer formed on a graphene layer, and a method of forming the material layer on the graphene layer. In the stacking structure, when the material layer is formed on the graphene layer by using an ALD method, an intermediate layer as a seed layer may be formed on the graphene layer by using a linear type precursor.

Abstract: Provided is a memory mapping method, and particularly provided is a nonvolatile main memory mapping method for managing a nonvolatile main memory. The nonvolatile memory mapping method includes: performing a system call in order to access a file page that is required to operate a process stored in a kernel area of a nonvolatile main memory, wherein both the file page and process are stored in the kernel area of the nonvolatile main memory; and mapping a physical address of the file page to a virtual address of a user area of the nonvolatile main memory.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for handover of a mobile terminal. In the method, a group of mobile terminals for handover is formed by grouping a plurality of mobile terminals. A first terminal of the group scans a target base station. One or more other terminals of the group perform handover to the target base station using the scan information of the first terminal.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of healing defects at junctions of a semiconductor device, which includes growing a p-Ge layer on a substrate, performing ion implantation on the p-Ge layer to form an n+ Ge region or performing in-situ doping on the p-Ge layer and then etching to form an n+ Ge region or depositing an oxide film on the p-Ge layer and performing patterning, etching and in-situ doping to form an n+ Ge layer, forming a capping oxide film, performing annealing at 600˜700° C. for 1˜3 hr, and depositing an electrode, and in which annealing enables Ge defects at n+/p junctions to be healed and the depth of junctions to be comparatively reduced, thus minimizing leakage current, thereby improving properties of the semiconductor device and achieving high integration and fineness of the semiconductor device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a real-time face recognition apparatus and method. A real-time face recognition apparatus includes a face detection unit for detecting a face image by obtaining image coordinates of a face from an input image. An eye detection unit obtains image coordinates of both eyes in the face image. A facial feature extraction unit generates feature histogram data based on parallel processing from the face image. A DB unit stores predetermined comparative feature histograms. A histogram matching unit compares the histogram data generated by the facial feature extraction unit with the comparative feature histograms, and then outputting similarities of face images. The face recognition apparatus may be implemented as internal hardware in which a VGA camera and an exclusive chip interface with each other, thus remarkably reducing a system size and installation cost, and performing face recognition in real time without requiring additional equipment.
