This paper discribes the design concept, fabrication process and measuring result of 2.5kV Gate Commutated Thyristor devices. Integrated gate commutated thyristors(IGCTs) is the new power semiconductor device used for high power inverter, converter, static var compensator(SVC) etc. Most of the ordinary GTOs(gate turn-off thyristors) are designed as non-punch-through(NPT) concept; i.e. the electric field is reduced to zero within the N-base region. In this paper, we propose transparent anode structure for fast turn-off characteristics. And also, to reach high breakdown voltage, we used 2-stage bevel structure. Bevel angle is very important for high power devices, such as thyristor structure devices. For cathode topology, we designed 430 cathode fingers. Each finger has designed $200{\mu}m$ width and $2600{\mu}m$ length. The breakdown voltage between cathode and anode contact of this fabricated GCT device is 2,715V.

The operating temperature of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) usually has to be limited under $100^{\circ}C$ to maintain the proper ionic conductivity. Therefore, the only product from reaction, water, is in the liquid phase. Two-phase flow makes the flow phenomenon in the channel difficult to understand and predict. Water blocking in the PEMFC channel or the pore of Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL), called flooding, is known as the main effect of PEMFC degradation. To analyze two-phase flow, the PEMFC with transparent acrylic plate was used. Two-phase flow patterns were observed by varying the current density. When the PEMFC is mounted horizontally, water in the cathode is mainly transported on the interface between the channel and GDL.

We report efficient inverted transparent blue OLEDs (ITOED) with an hole injection layer prepared by co-evaporation of $WO_3$ with NPB, which achieved a total current efficiency of 10.7 cd/A at $20mA/cm^2$ with light emits from both ITO bottom cathode and Au top anode in about 3:1 ratio.

We fabricated an efficient top emission organic light emitting diode (FTEOLED) on paper substrates. For water proof and surface planarization, parylene of 5mm thick has been coated on copy paper substrate by vapor polymerization. As use this coating layer, fabrication of device was possible by photolithography and wet etching. Because paper is not transparent, we adapted top emission structure with transparent cathode and reflective anode. The FTOLED on paper showed the excellent electrical characteristic, $109cd/m^2$, 2.3cd/A at 10V.

In this study, a micro-cavity organic light-emittingdevice (OLED) with semi-transparent-Ag/AgO hole injecting layer (HIL) was fabricated and their performance was investigated. For the fabrication of OLEDs N,N-diphenyl-N,N-(3-methyphenyl)-1,1-biphenyl-4-4-diamine (TPD), known as a hole transporting material and tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato)-aluminum ($Alq_3$) as both electron-transporting layer (ETL) and emission layer (EML) were deposited using thermal evaporation technique. And Al layer as cathode was then deposited using thermal evaporation technique. Effects of the semi-transparent-Ag/AgO layers on the resulting OLED performance were investigated.

A new possibility of our atmospheric cold plasma torch has been examined on the surface treatment of an air-exposed vulcanized rubber compound. The plasma treatment effect was evaluated by the bondability with another rubber compound using a polyurethane adhesive. The adhesion property was improved by the treatment with plasma containing oxygen radicals. The oxygen radical generation from the plasma was verified and its efficiency was found to be dependent on the cathode material.

Ca/Ag double layer which is fabricated by thermal evaporation exists as the double layer of (Ca+O)/(Ag+Ca). In Ca layer, are crystalline Ca(OH)2 and amorphous Ca and in Ag layer, are crystalline Ag and amorphous Ca. And for the certain thickness of Ag, in the Ca/Ag double layer, the thicker Ca is, the higher transmittance is.

We have studied an organic layer and semitransparent Al cathode thickness dependent optical properties for top-emission organic light-emitting diodes. Device structure is ITO(170nm)/TPD(xnm)/$Alq_3$(ynm)/LiF(0.5nm)/Al(100nm) and Al(100nm)/TPD(xnm)/$Alq_3$(ynm)/LiF(0.5nm)/Al(25nm). While a thickness of total, organic layer was varied from 85nm to 165nm, a ratio of those two layers was kept to be about 2:3. Then it was compared with that of bottom devices. And a thickness of semitransparent Al cathode was varied from 20nm to 30nm for the device with an organic layer thickness of 140nm. We were able to control the emission spectra from the top-emission organic light-emitting diodes.

A serpentine channel geometry often used in a fuel cell has a strong pressure gradient between adjacent channels in specific regions. The pressure gradient helps some amount of reactant gas penetrate through a gas diffusion layer(GDL). As a result, the overall serpentine flow structure is slightly different from the intention of a designer. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of serpentine flow structure on current density distribution. By using a commercial code, STAR-CD, a numerical simulation is performed to analyze the fuel cell with high aspect ratio of active area. To increase the accuracy of the numerical simulation, GDL permeabilities are measured with various compressive forces. Three-dimensional flow field and current density distribution are calculated. For the verification of the numerical simulation results, water condensation process in the cathode channel is observed through a transparent bipolar plate. The result of this study shows that the region of relatively low current density corresponds that of dropwise condensation in cathode channels.
