In this study, residual stress distribution in multi-stacked film by MEMS (Micro-Electro Mechanical System) process is predicted using Finite Element method (FEM). We evelop a finite element program for residual stress analysis (RESA) in multi-stacked film. The RESA predicts the distribution of residual stress field in multi-stacked film. Curvatures of multi­stacked film and single layers which consist of the multi-stacked film are used as the input to the RESA. To measure those curvatures is easier than to measure a distribution of residual stress. To verify the RESA, mean stresses and stress gradients of single and multi layers are measured. The mean stresses are calculated from curvatures of deposited wafer by using Stoney's equation. The stress gradients are calculated from the vertical deflection at the end of cantilever beam. To measure the mean stress of each layer in multi-stacked film, we measure the curvature of wafer with the left film after etching layer by layer in multi-stacked film.

Multi-stacked HTS tapes are needed to conduct large current in the power application. In this paper magnetization losses of the multi-stacked YBCO coated conductor and the BSCCO tape have been measured and compared. Magnetization losses of single tape, 2-stacked, 3-stacked and 4-stacked HTS tapes have been presented in this paper. Multi-stacked tapes have been fabricated using face-to-face type stacking method. Measurements of magnetization loss were performed under various stacked of external magnetic field to consider the anisotropic characteristics of HTS tapes. Test results show that loss density per unit volume decreased for both YBCO coated conductors and BSCCO tapes when the stacking number of tapes is increased. As the external magnetic field decreased, the ratio of decrement has risen because the full penetration magnetic field(Bp) of the multi-stacked tape is larger than that of the single tape.

AC loss on variation of external magnetic field is a very important factor in development of power applications. In this paper, we measured and compared AC loss of hybrid-multi stacked wire made of the combination of 1G wires and 2G wires and uniform-multi-stacked wire made of one type of wires, 1G wires or 2G wires. Measurement was performed using by the linked-picked coil method. As results, as the number of wires increase, AC loss per unit volume of both stacked wires in low external magnetic field is reduced. Also AC loss of 2G slacked wire is higher than that of 1G wire. AC loss per unit length of 2G stacked wire is less than that of 1G stacked wire. And AC loss of hybrid-multi stacked wire made of the combination of 1G wires and 2G wires was between uniform-multi-stacked wire made of 1G wires and 2G wires.

According to the improvement of the HTS wires performance, several tapes of HTS superconducting machines are being developed. Stacked HTS tapes are used as conductor that can flow high current for the HTS power machines. To develop the HTS power machines, the critical current characteristics of a stacked HTS tapes in external filed and AC losses should be examined. In this paper, we present characteristic of the stacked HTS tapes and AC losses of HTS pancake windings with stacked tapes. AC loss of the pancake winding were measured and compared with the calculated loss by using AC loss data of the stacked samples and the magnetic flux density in the HTS winding under operating conditions. We can see that measured results generally agree well with the calculated results by using AC loss data of 4-stacked sample.

2G HTS tapes are widely used for various electric machines. In addition, stacked or parallel connected HTS tapes are essentially used to raise transport current level for large capacity electric machines. Therefore, critical current characteristic of stacked tapes need to be studied. Recently developed 2G HTS tapes are fabricated with various defects doping so that tapes possess pinning center to improve the critical current characteristic. During this process, the critical current is determined minimum value in not perpendicular magnetic field but a specific magnetic field angle according to the reported research. However, the effects of magnetic field angle to critical current of multi-stacked 2G HTS tapes have not been examined. In this paper, field coil which is a race-track coil wound by using an HTS tape with iron-core was fabricated to apply angle adjustable magnetic field to the 2G HTS tape samples. We measured critical current of single and multi-stacked two tapes that have different characteristic depending on various magnetic field angle and magnitude in liquid nitrogen environment. Furthermore, results of single and multi-stacked tapes were compared and analyzed.

Multi-stacked HTS wires are needed to conduct large current in the power application. In this paper, magnetization losses of the multi-stacked YBCO wire and the BSCCO wire have been measured and compared. 4 types of YBCO wires and BSCCO wires, that is, single, 2-stacked, 3-stacked and 4-stacked, have been tested. HTS multi-stacked wires were fabricated using face-to-face type stacking method. Measurements of magnetization loss were performed under various angles of external magnetic field to consider the anisotropic characteristics of HTS wires. The ratios of the magnetization loss by multiple stacking of superconducting wires were presented. Measurements results show that loss reduction ratios have three distinct regions due to the magnitude of external magnetic field, the material of HTS wire and number of stacks.

Loss in the multi-stacked HTS wires are affected by a number of factor, such as, number of wires used in the stack, direction of external magnetic field and insulation thickness between the wire. This paper examines the effects of the insulation thickness on the magnetization loss of the multi-stacked YBCO coated conductor. Measurements of magnetization loss were performed using 4 different typo of multi-stacked wires and under various angle of external magnetic field. Test results show that loss density per unit volume increased for YBCO coated conductors when thickness of insulation increased. Loss density per unit volume decreased for YBCO coaled conductors when stacking number of tapes increased.

This article presents a numerical and experimental investigation for the single-phase forced laminar convective heat transfer through arrays of micro-channels in micro heat exchangers to be used for cooling power-intensive semiconductor packages, especially the stacked multi-chip modules. In the numerical analysis, a parametric study was carried out for the parameters affecting the efficiency of heat transfer in the flow of coolants through parallel rectangular micro-channels. In the experimental study, the cooling performance of the micro heat exchanger was tested on prototypes of stacked multi-chip modules with difference channel dimensions. The simulation results and the experiment data were acceptably accordant within a wide range of design variations, suggesting the numerical procedure as a useful method for designing the cooling mechanism in stacked multi-chip packages and similar electronic applications.
