Electrochemical properties of Cu foil current collector with a $Li_{0.5}La_{0.5}TiO_3$ Cu a Si thin film deposited by r.f sputtering as an anode for Li free battery were evaluated. The Cu foil current collectors were lied in and out of plasma during sputtering process. The X-ray diffraction results indicated that the as-deposited Si and $Li_{0.5}La_{0.5}TiO_3$ thin films in and out of plasma did not show any crystalline difference. The $Li_{0.5}La_{0.5}TiO_3$ film in plasma and Si film out of plasma showed better cyclability since crystalline $Li_{0.5}La_{0.5}TiO_3$ has much higher ionic conductivity and crystalline Si film is much sensitive far volume change during charge-discharge process. These results suggested that the deposition of amorphous Si on Cu foil current collector is much better for fabrication of Li free battery and it can be useful for the unique battery with a cycling number constraint of below 10.

A nickel mesh and an expanded nickel sheet were used as a current collector for supporting active materials of cathode in rechargeable batteries, while a porous nickel substrate was extensively studied because of its 3-dimensional structure which has high capabilities for active materials and current collection. Optimum coating conditions were studied by SEM and two step d. c. constant current electrolysis for the graphite coating and electro-plated nickel on an urethane substance which was highly porous and 3-dimensional structure. The density and the porosity of nickel support obtained by using two step current density and 80 ppi urethane substance were 0.38∼0.40 g /㎤ and 94∼96%, respectively. It was possible to fabricate a highly porous and good packable nickel substrate using two step current density and surfactants at sulfamic acid nickel plating bath.

The experimental results of exposing IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) samples to gamma radiation source show shifting of threshold voltages in the MOSFET and degradation of carrier mobility and current gains. At low total dose rate, the shift of threshold voltage is the major contribution of current increases, but for more than some total dose, the current is increased because of the current gain degradation occurred in the vertical PNP at the output of the IGBTs. In the paper, the collector current characteristics as a function of gate emitter voltage (VGE) curves are tested and analyzed with the model considering the radiation damage on the devices for gate bias and different dose. In addition, the model parameters between simulations and experiments are found and studied.

In this paper, the inductive power collector using electromagnetic induction for vehicle such as the PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) system is suggested and son ideas for power collector design to improve tile power transfer performance are presented. And also, the analysis of the inductive power transfer system in conjunction with series resonant converter operating variable high frequency is shown. Of particular interest is the sensitivity of the complete system to variations in operational frequency and parameters. In inductive power transfer system electrical power is transferred from a primary winding in the form of a coil or tract to one or more isolated pick-up coils that my relative to the primary. The ability to transmit power without contact enables high reliability and easy maintenance that allows inductive power transfer system to be implemented in hostile environments. This technology has found application in many fields such as electric vehicles, PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) etc. But, low output power is generated due to a loosely coupled characteristic of the large air-gap. Therefore, we will show you various characteristic of inductive power transfer system as double layer construction of secondary winding, which was divided in half to increase both output current and output voltage, a model of power collector and parallel winding structure, a model of concentration/ decentralization winding and the effects of parameter and operational frequency variation.

In this paper, non-self-aligned SiGe HBTs with ${f}_\tau$ and${f}_max $above 50 GHz have been fabricated using an RPCVD(Reduced Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) system for wireless applications. In the proposed structure, in-situ boron doped selective epitaxial growth(BDSEG) and TiSi$_2$ were used for the base electrode to reduce base resistance and in-situ phosphorus doped polysilicon was used for the emitter electrode to reduce emitter resistance. SiGe base profiles and collector design methodology to increase ${f}_\tau$ and${f}_max $ are discussed in detail. Two SiGe HBTs with the collector-emitter breakdown voltages ${BV}_CEO$ of 3 V and 6 V were fabricated using SIC(selective ion-implanted collector) implantation. Fabricated SiGe HBTs have a current gain of 265 ∼ 285 and Early voltage of 102 ∼ 120 V, respectively. For the $1\times{8}_\mu{m}^2$ emitter, a SiGe HBT with ${BV}_CEO$= 6 V shows a cut-off frequency, ${f}_\tau$of 24.3 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency, ${f}_max $of 47.6 GHz at $I_c$of 3.7 mA and$V_CE$ of 4 V. A SiGe HBT with ${BV}_CEO$ = 3 V shows ${f}_\tau$of 50.8 GHz and ${f}_max $ of 52.2 GHz at $I_c$ of 14.7 mA and $V_CE$ of 2 V.

An micro model for the power insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(IGBT) is developed. The model consistently described the IGBT steady-state current-voltage characteristics and switching transient current and voltage waveform for all loading conditions. The model is based on the equivalent circuit of a MOSFET with supplies the base current to a low-gain, high-level injection, bipolar transistor with its base virtual contact at the collector and of the base. Model results are compared with measured turn-on and turn-off waveform for different drive, load, and feedback circuits.

A dual gate trench emitter IGBT structure is proposed and studied numerically using the device simulator MEDICI. The on-state forward voltage drop latch-up current density turn-off time and breakdown voltage of the proposed structure are compared with those of the conventional DMOS-IGBT and trench gate IGBT structures. The proposed structure forms an additional channel and increases collector current level resulting in reduction of on -state forward voltage drop. In addition the trench emitter increases latch-up current density by 148% in comparison with that for the conventional DMOS-IGBT and by 83% compared with that for the trench gate IGBT without degradation in breakdown voltage when the half trench gate width(Tgw) and trench emitter depth(Ted) are fixed at $1.5\mum\; and\; 2\mum$, respectively

This paper reviews the current status of R&D work on selective absorber materials. For the efficient utilization of solar energy, various types of selective absorber materials are being used for solar hot water heaters. Many selective absorbers which have been proposed and designed up to data are classified according to the absorption mechanisms. Temperature-time cycle method is often recommended for the measurement of solar absorptance. In addition, conversion efficiency of the solar collector with selective surface is compared with one with black paint surface.

A new method is developed to extract model parameters of SiGe HBT equivalent circuit including the base impedance and base-collector junction capacitance. Using this method, all resistances and capacitances of SiGe HBT are independently determined from measured S-parameters using two-port parameter formula. This method is proposed to reduce possible errors generated from global optimization process, and its accuracy has been verified by finding good agreements between measured and modeled current / power gain up to 18 GHz.

In this work, nano-flake shaped nickel oxide (NiO) films were synthesized by chemical bath deposition technique for electrochemical capacitors. The deposition was carried out for 1 and 2 h at room temperature using nickel foam as the substrate and the current collector. The structure and morphology of prepared NiO film were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And, electrochemical properties were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge, and AC impedence measurement. It was found that the NiO film was constructed by many interconnected NiO nano-flakes which arranged vertically to the substrate, forming a net-like structure with large pores. The open macropores may facilitate the electrolyte penetration and ion migration, resulted in the utilization of nickel oxide due to the increased surface area for electrochemical reactions. Furthermore, it was found that the deposition onto nickel foam as substrate and curent collector led to decrease of the ion transfer resistance so that its specific capacitance of a NiO film had high value than NiO nano flake powder.
