Recently, the gate oxide damage induced by the plasma processes has been one of the most significant reliability issues as the gate oxide thickness falls below 10 nm. The process-induced damage was studied with the metal antenna test structures. In addition to the electron trapping, the hole trapping in a 10 nm thick gate oxide due to the plasma-induced charging was observed in the NMOS's with a metal antenna. The hole trapping gave rise to the decrease of the transconductance (gm) similarly to the case of the electron trapping, but to the extent much less than the electron trapping. It would be because the electrical stress that the plasma-induced charging forced to the gate oxide for the devices with the hole trapping was much smaller than for those with the electron trapping. This hypothesis was strongly supported by the measured characteristics of the Fowler-Nordheim current in the gate oxide.

Recently, it is required EV(Electric Vehicles) charging infra construction for approaching to accelerate and to commercialize development of EV. In this study, it was introduced basic overview of EV and charging infra construction. and we're supposed rate of growth and reduction of the number of registered vehicles by considering about last 3 years and supposed automatic number. This paper was produced dissemination if demand of EV would constantly increase. We compared and analyzed the relationship of 5th power supply and power consumption.

Recently, the small scale photovoltaic (PV) electronic devices are drawing attention as the upcoming PV generation system. The PV system is commonly used in small scale PV applications such as LED lighting and cell phone. This paper proposes photovoltaic output sensorless (POS) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for a small scale charging system of PV-nickel metal hydride battery using field-programmable gate array (FPGA) controller. A converter is connected to a small scale PV cell and battery, and performs the POS MPPT at the battery terminal current instead of being at the PV cell output voltage and current. The FPGA controller and converter operate based on POS MPPT method. The experimental results show that the nickel metal hydride battery is charged by the maximum PV output power.

Charging of spacecraft occurs in plasma and radiation environment. Especially, we focused on an accident caused by internal charging in a glass material that was used as the cover plate of solar panel array, and tried to measure the charge distribution in glass materials under electron beam irradiation by using a PEA (Pulsed Electro-Acoustic method) system. In the case of a quartz glass (pure $SiO_2$), no charge accumulation was observed either during or after the electron beam irradiation. On the contrary, positive charge accumulation was observed in glass samples containing metal-oxide components. It is found that the polarity of the observed charges depends on the contents of the impurities. To identify which impurity dominates the polarity of the accumulated charge, we measured charge distributions in several glass materials containing various metal-oxide components and calculated the trap energy depths from the charge decay characteristics of all glass samples.

Recently, there has been considerable interest in electromagnetic pulse (EMP) source for no lethal directed energy weaponry applications. The compactness of the Marx generator, coupled with its ability to be powered by battery technology, makes it a viable handled impulse source. The marx generator has 2 stages. Each stage was constructed one charging capacitor, two electrodes and one charging resistor. A inductance structure is used in order to improve the switching performances fo the whole generator. The experiments of rise time in pure gas and mixtures of gases were described. The experimental results show that the rise time characteristics of the marx generator can be controlled through varying insulation gas.

In this study, CPPS(Compact Pulsed Power Suppy) has been developed. The goals of CPPS are charging energy 150kJ, trapezoidal pulsed power shaping of 150~250MW with about 1msec pulse width, consecutive charging rate of several times/min, and total system volume below $0.5m^3$. The CPPS is composed of 4 modules of 37.5kJ which can be operated independently. This paper describes the design, setup and performance of CPPS in experiment and simulation.

A highly efficient sustaining driver is proposed for plasma display panels (PDPs). When the PDP is charged and discharged, the proposed sustaining driver employs an address voltage source used in an addressing period. A voltage source is used for fully charging the panel to the sustaining voltage, and an initial inductor current helps the panel discharge to 0 V. The resonance between the panel and an inductor is made by shifting the voltage and current bias level when charging and discharging the panel. As a result, the proposed circuit can reduce power consumption, switching loss, heat dissipation, and production cost. Experimental results of a 42-inch PDP are provided to verify the operation and features of the proposed circuit.

This paper describes a rapid pulsed power charging system for pulsed power application. It is capable of charging 35kJ/s energy up to 0.47uF 25kV within 3ms and maximum pulse repetition rate of 300 pps can be achieved. The charger is designed based on three-phase series resonant inverter followed by air cooled set-up transformers thus it has many advantages of lower weight, small size and high efficiency compared with large bulky traditional pulse charger system. Detail design procedure of resonant inverter and high voltage transformers is explained. Experimental results carried out at different condition and its results shows 90% efficiency at full load condition.

In this paper, a high speed charging algorithm that charges secondary pack battery within 40 minutes is implementation. Proposed algorithm is that suppling 4 stage pulse instead of constant voltage or current. That makes charge time short, temperature low, and extends battery life. Experimental results show that secondary pack battery is charged within 40 minutes and achieved life time about 2000 cycle.
