A low-cost, large area, random, maskless texturing scheme independent of crystal orientation is expected to significantly impact terrestrial photovoltaic technology. We investigated silicon surface microstructures formed by reactive ion etching (RIE) in Multi-Hollow cathode system. Desirable texturing effect has been achieved when radio-frequency (rf) power of about 20 Watt per one hollow cathode glow is applied for our RF Multi-Hollow cathode system. The black silicon etched surface shows almost zero reflectance in the visible region as well as in near IR region. The etched silicon surface is covered by columnar microstructures with diameters from 50 to 100 nm and depth of about 500 nm. We have successfully achieved 11.7% efficiency of mono-crystalline silicon solar cell and 10.2% multi-crystalline silicon solar cell.

A limitation of oxide cathode is the high current density, caused by low electrical conductivity of an emitter layer. This limitation can be overcome by increasing the conductivity, and uniform dispersion of Ni powder and pore agent could be achieved by using the screen-printing method. This new cathode has shown not only high current density reliability but also improved performance characteristics and as such given the name "Multi-Function cathode". It is expected to be a good replacement of the impregnated cathode.

The characteristics of power generation were investigated by changing the electrical conductivity from 10 to 40mS/cm using air-cathode microbial fuel cell, which had graphite fiber fabric(GFF) anode. There were three kinds of cathode used: one was carbon cloth cathode coated with Pt, another was carbon nanotube(CNT) cathode with non-precious catalyst of Fe-Cu-Mn, and the other was carbon nanotube(CNT) cathode without any catalyst. When it was operated in batch mode, power density of 1369.5mW/$m^2$ was achieved at conductivity of 20mS/cm. Power density from MFC with CNT cathode coated with multi-catalyst of Fe-Cu-Mn was shown about 985.55mW/$m^2$, which was 75.1% compared the power density of carbon cloth coated with Pt. This meant that CNT cathode coated with multi-catalyst of Fe-Cu-Mn could be an alternative of carbon cloth cathode.

A low-cost, large area, random, maskless texturing scheme independent of crystal orientation is expected to have significant impact on terrestrial photovoltaic technology. We investigated silicon surface microstructures formed by reactive ion etching (R IE) in Multi-Hollow cathode system. Desirable texturing effect has been achieved when radio-frequency (rf) power of about 20 Watt per one hollow cathode glow is applied for our RF Multi -Hollow cathode system. The black silicon etched surface shows almost zero reflectance in the visible region as well as in near IR region. The etched silicon surface is covered by columnar microstructures with diameters from 50 to 100 nm and depth of about 500 nm.

다중 음극 전자빔을 이용한 새로운 플라즈마 소스를 설계하고 제작하였다. 대면적의 플라즈마를 발생시키기 위해 다중 음극을 채택하였다. 다중 음극 전자빔 플라즈마 소스(multi-cathode electron beam plasma source, MCEBPS)를 이용하여 300mm 또는 그 이상의 직경을 가진 웨이퍼에 안정한 플라즈마를 생성시킬 수 있었다. 텅스텐 필라멘트를 음극으로 사용하였다. 직경 320mm의 넓이에서, plasma potential $V_p$와 floating potential $V_f$ 모두 균일하게 유지되었고 $V_p와 V_f$의 차이도 낮은 값으로 나타났다. 플라즈마 밀도는 약 $10^{10} cm^{-3}$ 정도로 측정되었고 반경걸에 따른 편차는 작게 나타났다.

The cold hollow cathode gas ion source is under development for multi aperture focused ion beam (FIB) system. In this paper, we describe the cold hollow cathode ion source design and the general ion source performance using Ar gas. The glow discharge characteristics and the ion beam current density at various operation conditions are investigated. This ion source can generate maximum ion beam current density of approximately 120 mA/$cm^2$ at ion beam potential of 10 kV. In order to effectively transport the energetic ions generated from the ion source to the multi-aperture focused ion beam(FIB) system, the einzel lens system for ion beam focusing is designed and evaluated. The ions ejected from the ion source can be forced to move near parallel to the beam axis by adjusting the potentials of the einzel lenses.

Ni-rich layered oxides cathode has recently gained attention as an advanced cathode material due to their applicable energy density. However, as the Ni component in the layered site is increased, the high reactivity of Ni⁴⁺ results in parasitic reaction associated with decomposing electrolyte, which leads to a rapid decreasing the lifespan of the cell. The electrolyte additive triallyl borate (TAB) improves interfacial stability, leading to a stable cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer on the LNCM83 cathode. A multi-functionalized TAB additive can produce a uniformly distributed CEI layer via electrochemical oxidation, which implies an increase in long-term cycling performance. After 100 cycles at elevated temperature, the cell tested by 0.75 TAB retained 88.3% of its retention ratio, whereas the cell performed by TAB-free electrolyte retained 64.1% of its retention. Once the TAB additive formed CEI layers on the LNCM83 cathode, it inhibited the decomposition of carbonate-based solvents species in addition to the dissolution of transition metal components from the cathode. The addition of TAB to LNCM83 cathode material is believed to be a promising way to increase the electrochemical performance.

CCFL(CCFL: Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps, 이하 CCFL로 표기)은 전극이 내부에 존재하는 형태로 그 특성이 일정하지 않아 병렬구동이 어려워 개별 구동을 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 CCFL의 임피던스 차이에 의한 전류오 차를 감소시켜 병렬구동이 가능하도록 구동한다. 제안하는 시스템은 단지 하나의 주 변압기로 동작하며, 다수의 램프를 구동시키기 위해 밸런스 변압기를 적용하여 가격적인이나 용적이 줄어드는 효과를 가져온다. 본 방식의 타당성을 실험 및 시뮬레이션을 통하여 입증하였다.

Diamond deposition by muti-cathode DC PACVD has been investigated. Five cathodes were independently connected to their own DC power supplies. The voltage and current of each cathods were varied up to 700 V and 3.5 A, respectively. The plasma formation and the diamond deposition behaviour on a substrate of 3 inch in diameter were investigated by optical emission spectroscopy, SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The plasma formed by five cathodes was non-uniform, which was depended on the geometry of cathods array. The growth rate and the quality of diamond film were closely related to the spatial distribution of the plasma.

An evaluation method for oxygen permeable characteristics of the membrane covering to each cathode of multiple cathode - single anode type dissolved oxygen sensor, which has high reproducibility and is capable of measuring multiple components in solutions. For this purpose, a measuring circuit for the multiple cathode type DO sensor was designed to lower the noise signal by adapting a digital LPF to readout the sensor output accurately. Digital LPF is designed by setting up the transfer function to set the cutoff frequency to 10Hz, and the transfer function is programmed by C language, and then the filtering characteristics are evaluated with the simulation and experiments. Using this LPF added measuring circuit for the multiple cathode type DO sensor, we have obtained the calibration factor for each cathode to calibrate the variation of the output signals. The calibration factor was obtained by measuring the sensor output signal followed by oxygen partial pressure, using the same oxygen permeable membrane at each cathode of the multiple cathode type DO sensor.
