The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor has the characteristics of MOSFET and BJT. The characteristics of proposed device exhibit high speed switching, the voltage controlled property, and the low ON resistance. This hybrid device has been used and developed continuously in the power electronic engineering field. We can simulate many IGBT circuits, such as the motor drive circuit, the switching circuits etc, with PSpice. However, some problems in PSpice is that the IGBT is old-fashioned and is very difficult to get it. In this paper, the IGBT in PSpice is considered as the basic structure. We changed the valuse of base width, gate-drain overlaping area, device area, and doping concentration, then calculated MOS transconductance, ambipolar recombination lifetime etc. Using this resultant parameter, we could predict the transient response characteristicsof IGBT, for examplex, voltage overshoot, the rising curve of voltage, and the falling curve of current.

In this paper, transient characteristics of IGBT has been analytically solved to express the excess minority carrier distribution in active base region and the output voltage. Non-Punch Through(NPT) structure has been selected to prove the validity of the model. It is based on the equivalent circuit of MOSFET which supplies a low gain and a high level injection to the base of BJT. None of the quasi static conditions have been assumed to trace the transient characteristics. The basic elements of the model have been derived from the ambipolar transport theory. Theoretical predictions of the output voltages have been obtained with different lifetimes and compared with experimental and theoretical results available in the literature. From the analytical approach, good agreement has been obtained to provide reliable and fast output of the device.

The fluoescent lamp has been successfully modeled by employing the radial variation of particle density and considering driving circuit effects on the characteristics of discharge process. The electron energy distribution is assumed to have a Maxwellian. The electron mobility and the ambipolar diffusion coefficients are considered to vary with an electron energy rather than a simple uniform value. Energy states of mercury atom in the discharge process are regarded as six levels rather than simple 4 or 5 levels. These discharge processes have been accurately solved by numerically employing mixed the FDM and the 2nd Runge-Kutta method. This model was applied to analyzing real circuit. Simulation and experimental results were presented to verify the feasibility of the modeling. Simulation and experimental results were presented to verify the feasibility of the modeling.

반도체적 성질을 가지는 유기 전자 재료를 활성층으로 활용한 유기 박막 트랜지스터(OTFT)는 제작 공정이 간단하고 비용이 저렴하다는 장점과 더불어 유기 반도체 자체가 가지는 가공성, 유연성 등으로 인해 유연한(flexible) 전자기기를 구현 할 수 있다는 가능성으로 미래형 전자기기의 핵심 구동 소자로서 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 특히 한 소자에서 p-type과 n-type이 동시에 구현되는 양극성(abipolar) OTFT는 구동 회로의 설계 및 제작 공정을 단순화 시키고 다양한 가능을 부가 시킬 수 있어 좀 더 경량화, 소형화된 미래형 전자 기기를 구현 할 수 있도록 해준다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 ambipolar OTFT의 구조 및 구동 원리를 알아보고 소자에 사용되는 유기 반도체 소재와 소자 구현 기술에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

ICP reactor produces high-density and high-uniformity plasma in large area, are has excellent characteristic of direction in the case of etching. Until now, many algorithms used one mesh method. These algorithms are not appropriate for sub 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ device technologies which should deal with each ion. These algorithms could not present exactly straggle and interaction between projectile ions and could not consider reflection effects due to interactions among next projectile ions, reflected ions and sputtering ions, simultaneously. And difficult consider am-bipolar drift effect.

A theoretical self-consistent thermoelectric model has been developed for optimal thermal design in the self-signal processing infraed detectors. The model is achived by employing the coupled thermoelectric equation which allows which allows the simultaneous investigation of the termal and electrical aspects of device behavior. The thermal limitation of detectivity and responsivity are determined by the enegy gap, carrier concentration, lifetime, and mobility as a function of the temperature. The calculated results indicate that the detectivity is decreased at bias fields above about 50 V/cm, because the performence is limiting by temperature when the bias voltage reached the level associated with Joule heating. It has been also found that the improvement in the mid-band modulation transfer function(MTF) may be restricted by increasing the bias fields. Further, the important paramerers in the thermal optimization of SPIR detector, such as temperature in the device, ambipolar velocity, element thickness and length, are also considered. The analytical study provides a mathematical basis for optimal design of such a photoconductive IR detector and the agreement between the experimental and theoretical results are seen to be good.

Under the assumption of the presence of a medium-scale E × B drift vortex of plasma in the daytime midlatitude F region, and using a simplified ionospheric model, we demonstrate that the E × B drift produces noticeable perturbations in the horizontal distribution of the plasma density in the upper F region. The pattern of ion density perturbations shows two separate medium scale domains of enhanced and reduced ion density with respect to the background. The E × B drift does not produce multiple small-scale ion density irregularities through plasma mixing because of the suppression effect of the field-aligned ambipolar plasma diffusion.

The two competing theories of star formation are based on turbulence and ambipoar diffusion. I will first briefly explain the two theories. There have been analytical (or semi-analytic) models, which estimate star formation rates in a turbulent cloud. Most of them are based on the log-normal density PDF (probability density function) of the turbulent cloud without self-gravity. I will first show that the core (star) formation rate can be increased significantly once self-gravity of a turbulence cloud is taken into account. I will then present the evolution of molecular line profiles of HCO+ and C18O toward a dense core that is forming inside a magnetized turbulent molecular cloud. Features of the profiles can be affected more significantly by coupled velocity and abundance structures in the outer region than those in the inner dense part of the core. During the evolution of the core, the asymmetry of line profiles easily changes from blue to red, and vice versa. Finally, I will introduce a method for incorporating ambipolar diffusion in the strong coupling approximation into a multidimensional magnetohydrodynamic code.

Graphene is expected to have a significant impact in various fields in the foreseeable future. For example, graphene is considered to be a promising candidate to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) as transparent conductive electrodes in optoelectronics applications. We report the tunability of the wavelength of localized surface plasmon resonance by varying the distance between graphene and Au nanoparticles [1]. It is estimated that every nanometer of change in the distance between graphene and the nanoparticles corresponds to a resonance wavelength shift of ~12 nm. The nanoparticle-graphene separation changes the coupling strength of the electromagnetic field of the excited plasmons in the nanoparticles and the antiparallel image dipoles in graphene. We also show a hysteresis in the conductance and capacitance can serve as a platform for graphene memory devices. We report the hysteresis in capacitance-voltage measurements on top gated bilayer graphene which provide a direct experimental evidence of the existence of charge traps as the cause for the hysteresis [2]. By applying a back gate bias to tune the Fermi level, an opposite sequence of switching with the different charge carriers, holes and electrons, is found [3]. The charging and discharging effect is proposed to explain this ambipolar bistable hysteretic switching.

It was the electrical properties of ZnS treated by the annealing in a vaccum and an atmosphere conditions to reseached the leakage current effect of semiconductor devices. Most samples were shown the non-linear with unipolar properties, but the ZnS annealed at $100^{\circ}C$ in a vaccum was only observed no leakage current in a range of -20 V< voltage < 15 V. The crystallinity of ZnS with no leakage current was improved and optical property was also improved. Because the ambipolar characteristics and low leakage currents originated from the extension effect of a depletion width by electron-hole combination in the depletion layer.
