This paper presents a novel soft-switching PWM utility frequency AC to high frequency AC power conversion circuit incorporating boost-half-bridge inverter topology, which is more suitable and acceptable for cost effective consumer induction heating applications. The operating principle and the operation modes are presented using the switching mode and the operating voltage and current waveforms. The performances of this high-frequency inverter using the latest IGBTs are illustrated, which includes high frequency power regulation and actual efficiency characteristics based on zero voltage soft switching (ZVS) operation ranges and the power dissipation as compared with those of the previously developed high-frequency inverter. In addition, a dual mode control scheme of this high frequency inverter based on asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse density modulation (PDM) control scheme is discussed in this paper in order to extend the soft switching operation ranges and to improve the power conversion efficiency at the low power settings. The power converter practical effectiveness is substantially proved based on experimental results from practical design example.

The resonant inverter is widely used for induction heating, electronic ballast and supersonic motor driving circuit. In the meantime, control techniques of PWM, PFM etc.. are mainly applied to control the output power of the resonant inverter. But, in the case of using the half bridge resonant inverter, it is difficult to control the output power by PWM, because its main circuit does not provide the load free-wheeling mode. Therefore, PAM or PFM was usually applied to control output power of half bridge resonant inverter. However, PAM needs a variable DC voltage source, which makes the system structure more complex. On the other hand, in case of PFM, efficiency is declined by operation with poor power factor. This paper Proposed the novel half bridge resonant inverter which can provide the load free-wheeling mode. Also its analysis results for PWM operation with unity fundamental power factor are Presented and compared with other resonant inverters using PWM and PFM.

EDDC(Evaporation using Drum in Dual Chamber) deposition system was manufactured for 100m long superconducting coated conductor. It is composed of reaction chamber, evaporation chamber and differential chamber. The drum is located across the differential and exposed to both of the evaporation chamber and the reaction chamber, and the tape is wound on the drum. The elements of superconducting material are co-evaporated from respective element boats in the evaporation chamber and deposited on the drum and reacted with oxygen in the reaction chamber. This process repeats by rotating the drum. When the total pressure of the reaction chamber was 5 mTorr, that of the evaporation chamber was $5{\sim}10^{-5}$Torr. This atmosphere can be achieved by means of differential pumping. There are four evaporator in the evaporation chamber. One is the radiation heating evaporator and the others are the high frequency induction evaporator. EDDC is one of promising methods for commercialization of superconducting coated conductor.

To resolve the problem of the temperature rise in LED or OLED lighting, until now a thick metal film has been used as a heat-sink. Conventionally, this thick metal film is made by the electroplating method and used as the heat-dissipating plate of the electronic devices. However, nowadays there is increasing need for a Cu metal film with a thickness of several hundred micrometers that can be formed by the dry deposition method. In this work, we designed and fabricated a Cu film deposition system where the heating element is separated from the ceramic crucible, which makes ultra-rapid deposition possible by preventing heat loss. In addition, the resulting induction heating also contributes to the high deposition rate. By tuning the various parameters, we obtained a $100-{\mu}m$ thick Cu film whose heat conductivity is high and whose thickness uniformity is better than 2%, while the deposition rate is as high as $1000{\AA}/s$.

This paper presents the high frequency resonant inverter of class D SEPP(Single-Ended Push Pull) type using LS-ZVS-LSTC, which can reduce the switching losses during the turn-on and turn-off switching time. The analysis of high frequency resonant inverter using LS-ZVS-LSTC(Low-loss Turn-off Snubber Capacitor) proposed in this paper is described in general by adopting the normalized parameters. The operating characteristics of the proposed high frequency resonant inverter were also evaluated by using the control parameters such as the normalized control frequency(μ), the normalized load time constant(τ), the coupling factor(κ) and so on. Based on the characteristic values through the characteristics of evaluation, an example of the design method of the 1.8[kW] class D SEPP type high frequency inverter is suggested, and the validity of the theoretical analysis is verified using the experimental data.
