Micro gas sensor with single electrode was proposed for improving stability and sensitivity. Generally, metal oxide gas sensors have two electrodes for heating and sensing. This fabricated new type sensor have only a single electrode by forming a sensing material onto heating electrode. Pt as a heating and sensing electrode was sputtered on glass substrate and a $SnO_2$ sensing material was thermally evaporated on Pt electrode. $SnO_2$ was patterned by lift-off process and then thermally oxidized in $O_2$ condition for 1 hr., $600^{\circ}C$. The size of fabricated sensor was $1.9{\times}2.1\;mm^2$. As a result of CO gas sensing characteristics, this sensor showed 100 mV change for 1,000 ppm and linearity for wide range($0{\sim}10,000\;ppm$) of gas concentrations. And the sensor shows a good recovery characteristics of 1% deviation compared to initial resistance.

In this paper, we study a method that amplifies the output gain of a high voltage pulse using 300 kHz or higher frequency. We conducted a study on a method for amplifying the output gain using the resonance between the capacitance components of the load and the parasitic components of the circuit, instead of the conservative method for amplifying the pulse-amplitude by raising the voltage of the power stage. In particular, the method simplifies the circuit configuration throughout the appliance of flyback-type topology instead of the bridge-type. There are advantages that prevent damage from overload and the heat in the output circuit through the hard switching by amplifying the gain of the output voltage applying to the load as given by the capacitance component of the output electrode to the output pulse waveform. This study proposed a method to enhance the spatial and electrical efficiency of the contact-type heating device through the dielectric heating method applied to the field of medical and industrial heating.

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) consists of photo electrode, counter electrode and electrolyte. Photo electrode has titanium oxide layer with dye molecule to create electrons. And counter electrode is made of one layer that has catalytic ability for redox system such as the iodide/triiodide couple. Most DSC researchers use platinum as catalyst on counter electrode because platinum has good catalytic ability and conductivity. Platinum is doped on fluorine-doped tin oxide glass with different methods such as sputtering method, electrochemical method and so on. In this paper, we deposit platinum on counter electrode glass with two methods. One is the radio frequency (RF) sputtering method and the other is the chemical method with heating treatment. Finally, we compare the photovoltaic characteristics of DSCs that are assembled using two different counter electrodes.

In this study, we investigated the effect of electrode pattern design on the thermal shock resistance and temperature uniformity of a ceramic heater. A cordierite substrate with a low thermal expansion coefficient was fabricated by tape casting, and a tungsten electrode was printed and used as a heating element. The temperature distribution of the ceramic heater was calculated by a finite-element method (FEM) by considering various electrode patterns, and the tensile stress distribution due to the thermal stress was calculated. In the electrode pattern with a single-line width, the central part of the ceramic heater was heated to the maximum temperature, and the position of the ceramic heater having a double-line width was changed to the maximum temperature, depending on the position of the minimum line width pattern. The highest tensile stress was found along the edges of the ceramic heater. The temperature gradient at the edge determined the tensile stress intensity. The smallest tensile stress was observed for electrode pattern D, which was expected to be advantageous in resisting thermal shock failures in ceramic heaters.

To evaluate the temperature distribution according to the size of the electorde and the thickness of the phantom using 8MHz radiofrequency capacitive heating device, various sized electrodes and phantoms were used in combination. The radii of the electrodes are 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 cm and the thickness of cylindrical phantoms with diameter 30 cm were 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 cm. When the thickness of the phantom was 25 cm or 30 cm, homogenous heating was achieved by using the electrode which diameter was equal to or greater than the thickness of the phantom. When the thickness of the phantom was 20 cm or less. homogenous heating was not achieved by using the electrode which diameter was equal to the thickness of the phantom, but achieved by the larger diameter of the electorode. When the sizes of paired electrodes were not equal, the smaller electrode side was preferentially heated.

We investigated the effect of sustain electrode gap variation with high Xe content in an ac Plasma Display Panel through two-dimensional numerical simulation to understand the inherent high luminous efficiency mechanism. For the low Xe content, the optimal sustain electrode gap turned out to be about 200 ${\mu}m$, but with higher Xe content, the VUV generation efficiency increased as the electrode gap increases beyond 200 ${\mu}m$. We found that it is due to higher electron heating efficiency in the cathode sheath under the condition of long electrode gap and high Xe content.

Etch process of silicon dioxide layer by using capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) is currently being used to manufacture semiconductor devices with nano-scale feature size below 50 nm. In typical CCP plasma etcher system, plasmas are generated by applying the RF power on upper electrode and ion bombardment energy is controlled by applying RF power to the bottom electrode with the Si wafer. In this case, however, etch results often drift due to heating of the electrode during etching process. Therefore, controlling the temperature of the upper electrode is required to obtain improvement of etch repeatability. In this work, we report repeatability improvement during the silicon dioxide etching under extreme process conditions with very high RF power and close gap between upper and bottom electrodes. Under this severe etch condition, it is difficult to obtain reproducible oxide etch results due to drifts in etch rate, critical dimension, profile, and selectivity caused by unexpected problems in the upper electrode. It was found that reproducible etch results of silicon dioxide layer could be obtained by controlling temperature of the upper electrode. Methods of controlling the upper electrode and the correlation with etch repeatability will be discussed in detail.

In order to develop the commercial frequency (60Hz) plasma torch of small capacity for material cutting, welding and other industrial heating, the A.C plasma jet generator of non-transfered type is made domestically and the electrode configurations of plasma torch are composed of two kinds of electrodes W-C and W-Cu, combined by thermal emission and field emission electrode materials. In this paper, the characteristics of input power, thermal efficiency, electrode consumption, the flame and forms of arc voltage and arc current for A.C plasma torch are investigated in relation to such variables as arc current, argon flow and magnetic field intensity to obtain the basic design data necessary to A.C plasma jet generator. The result are as follows; (1)The input power, thermal efficiency and electrode consumption are influenced greatly by argon flow, magnetic field intensity and nozzle materials. (2)A.C arc voltage and current are non-symmetrial, involving D.C Component. Due to this current of D.C Component, transformer core is saturated and a large abnormal current flows into the primary winding coil. In order to prevent this abnormal current flow, a condenser must be connected in series to the main discharge circuit. (3)The stability and sharpness of jet flame are improved more in the torch of W-C electrode configuration than in the torch of W-Cu electrode configuration.
