This paper examines the vertical stress change concentrated on mine pillar which occurs due to the stress disturbance from opening excavation at room and pillar mine by FLAC3D, a finite difference method (FDM) software. The mesh size combination is decided with a careful consideration of relative error and run-time, then its performance is verified. A series of numerical analyses is conducted and the vertical stress at central pillar was observed for the test cases of 1×1 to 11×11 mine pillars, 40 m to 320 m depth with 40 m difference. The results show that the vertical stress of pillar approaches to the similar value with the value estimated by tributary area theory(TAT) when the development area (N_P) is increased or the height of overburden (H_OB) is decreased, while it is overestimated in the opposite case. Furthermore, it also represents that the vertical stress factor (VSF) converges to a specific value when the depth is increased whille keeping the development area identical.

The maximum breakdown voltage's characteristic within the Super Junction MOSFET structure comes from N-Drift and P-Pillar's charge balance. By developing P-Pillar from Planar MOSFET, it was confirmed that the breakdown voltage is improved through charge balance, and by setting the gate voltage at 10V, the characteristic comparisons of Planar MOSFET and Super Junction MOSFET are shown in picture 6. The results show that it had the same breakdown voltage as Planar MOSFET which increased temperature resistance by 87.4% at $.019{\Omega}cm^2$ which shows that by the temperature resistance increasing, the power module's power dissipation improved.

In this paper, we propose a super-junction MOSFET (SJ MOSFET) fabricated through a simple pillar forming process by varying the Si epilayer thickness and doping concentration of pillars using SILVACO TCAD simulation. The design of the SJ MOSFET structure is presented, and the doping concentration of pillar, breakdown voltage ($V_{BR}$) and drain current are analyzed. The device performance of conventional Si planar metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET), Si SJ MOSFET, and SiGe SJ MOSFET was investigated. The p- and n-pillars in Si SJ MOSFET suppressed the punch-through effect caused by drain bias. This lead to the higher $V_{BR}$ and reduced on resistance of Si SJ MOSFET. An increase in the thickness of Si epilayer and decrease in the former is most effective than the latter. The implementation of SiGe epilayer to SJ MOSFET resulted in the improvement of $V_{BR}$ as well as drain current in saturation region, when compared to Si SJ MOSFET. Such a superior device performance of SiGe SJ MOSFET could be associated with smaller bandgap of SiGe which facilitated the drift of carriers through lower built-in potential barrier.

This paper was showed latch up characteristics of super junction power MOSFET by parasitic thyristor according to trench etch angle. As a result of research, if trench etch angle of super junction MOSFET is larger, we obtained large latch up voltage. When trench etch angle was $90^{\circ}$, latch up voltage was more 50 V. and we got 700 V breakdown voltage. But we analyzed on resistance. if trench etch angle of super junction MOSFET is larger, we obtained high on resistance. Therefore, we need optimal point by simulation and experiment for solution of trade off.

A new microporous TiO2-pillared layered titanate has been successfully prepared by hybridizing the exfoliated titanate with the anatase TiO2 nano-sol. According to the X-ray diffraction analysis and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, the TiO2-pillared layered titanate showed a pillar height of ~2 nm with a high surface area of ~460 m2/g and a pore size of ~0.95 nm, indicating that a microporous pillar structure is formed. Its photocatalytic activity was evaluated by measuring the photodegradation rate of 4-chlorophenol during irradiation of catalyst suspensions in an aqueous solution. An enhancement in activity of ca. 170% was obtained for TiO2-pillared layered titanate compared to that of the pristine compound such as layered cesium titanate.

This paper was developed and described core-process to implement low on resistance which was the most important characteristics of SJ (super junction) MOSFET. Firstly, using process-simulation, SJ MOSFET optimal structure was set and developed its process flow chart by repeated simulation. Following process flow, gate level process was performed. And source and drain level process was similar to genral planar MOSFET, so the process was the same as the general planar MOSFET. And then to develop deep trench process which was main process of the whole process, after finishing photo mask process, we developed deep trench process. We expected that developed process was necessary to develop SJ MOSFET for automobile semiconductor.

In this study, the side panels were developed using the laser-welded Tailored Blanks (TB) with both the same thickness and the different thickness. At first, the formability of the same thickness T.B was investigated to be compared with one of the non welded panel with respect to weldline movements and strain distribution on blank during the stamping. Based on these results, we selected candidates of T.B with different thickness for stamping experiments. That is, we determined the weld line positions and the die step. Then we made some stamping tryouts with selected types of blank designs to investigate the formability of T.B with different thickness. During the tryouts, the wrinkles were found in the a-pillar lower region which is under the deformation mode of the shrink flange. In the b-pillar region, the fractures were found also, these defects have been reduced and corrected by controlling the blank design and the die faces and process pamameters.

The new approaches for silicon solar cell of new concept have been actively conducted. Especially, solar cells with wire array structured radial p-n junctions has attracted considerable attention due to the unique advantages of orthogonalizing the direction of light absorption and charge separation while allowing for improved light scattering and trapping. One-dimenstional semiconductor nano/micro structures should be fabricated for radial p-n junction solar cell. Most of silicon wire and/or pillar arrays have been fabricated by vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) growth because of its simple and cheap process. In the case of the VLS method has some weak points, that is, the incorporation of heavy metal catalysts into the growing silicon wire, the high temperature procedure. We have tried new approaches; one is electrochemical etching, the other is noble metal catalytic etching method to overcome those problems. In this talk, the silicon pillar formation will be characterized by investigating the parameters of the electrochemical etching process such as HF concentration ratio of electrolyte, current density, back contact material, temperature of the solution, and large pre-pattern size and pitch. In the noble metal catalytic etching processes, the effect of solution composition and thickness of metal catalyst on the etching rate and morphologies of silicon was investigated. Finally, radial p-n junction wire arrays were fabricated by spin on doping (phosphor), starting from chemical etched p-Si wire arrays. In/Ga eutectic metal was used for contact metal. The energy conversion efficiency of radial p-n junction solar cell is discussed.
