반도체 공정 등에서 10-6_10-8 TOW의 고진공 환경을 제공하기 위하여 사용되는 고진공 터보분자펌프(Turbomolecular Pump, TMP)는 다층의 회전깃을 갖는 로터를 회전시켜 분자를 배출시키는 방식을 사용하는 진공펌프이다. 이러한 고진공을 실현하기 위해서는 가장 효과적인 방법으로는 회전블레이드의 선속도를 높이는 것으로, 이는 회전로터의 직경을 크게 하거나, 회전속도를 높임으로써 얻어질 수 있다. 따라서 최근의 고진공 터보분자펌프는 대부분 25,000∼40,000RPM의 고속회전을 요구하는 것이 일반적이며 회전속도는 주로 로터 재료의 허용한도까지 적용되고 있다.(중략)

이온 펌프의 중심에 네그(Non-Evaporable Getters)가 삽입된 새로운 조합 펌프를 사용하여 극고진공 시스템을 구현하였다. 진공 용기는 터보 분자 펌프만으로도 극고진공에 성공하였던, $450^{\circ}C$에서 잘 산화된 304 스테인레스 스틸 쳄버를 사용하였다. 시스템의 압력은 Leybold사의 EXG(Extractor Gauge)로 측정하였으나, 본 실험에서의 최고 진공도는 이미 그 게이지의 측정 한계인 1~$2\times10^{-12}$torr범위를 훨씬 지나 게이지 지시가 $-0\times10^{-12}$torr를 읽교 있는 극고진공에 도달해 있었다. 이는 효과적인 네그 활성화로 수소 가스에 대한 배기 속도 를 크게 향상시켜준 결과라 볼 수 있다. 또한 본 실험은 극고진공 표면 분석 장치의 실현 가능성을 시사해주는 것으로, 앞으로의 초미세 표면 과학에 있어서 새로운 장을 열어줄 것 으로 기대된다.

Numerical and experimental investigations are peformed for the rarefied gas flows in pumping channels of a helical-type drag pump. Modern turbomolecular pumps include a drag stage in the discharge side, operating roughly in $10^{-2}{\sim}10Torr$. The flow occurring in the pumping channel develops from the molecular transition to slip flow traveling downstream. Two different numerical methods are used in this analysis: the first one is a continuum approach in solving the Navier-Stokes equations with slip boundary conditions, and the second one is a stochastic particle approach through the use of the direct simulation Monte Carlo(DSMC) method. The flow in a pumping channel is three-dimensional(3D), and the main difficulty in modeling a 3D case comes from the rotating frame of reference. Thus, trajectories of particles are no longer straight lines. In the Present DSMC method, trajectories of particles are calculated by integrating a system of differential equations including the Coriolis and centrifugal forces. Our study is the first instance to analyze the rarefied gas flows in rotating frame in the presence of noninertial effects.

Since the start of the KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) project, Instrumentation and Control (I&C) of the Neutral Beam Test Facility (NB-TF) has been striving to answer diverse requests arising from various facets during the project's development and construction phases. Hard-wired electrical circuits have been designed, tested, fabricated, and finally installed to the relevant parts of the system. In relation to the vacuum system I&C, controlling functions for the rotary pumps, a Roots pump, two turbomolecular pumps, and four cryosorption pumps have been constructed. I&C for the ion source operation are the temperature and flow rate signal monitoring, Langmuir probe signal measurements, gradient grid current measurements, and arc detector circuit. For the huge power system to be monitored or safely operated, many temperature measurement functions have also been implemented for the beam line components like the neutralizer, bending magnet, ion dump, and calorimeter. Nearly all of the control and probe signals between the NB test stand and the control room were made to be transmitted through the optical cables. Failures of coolant flow or beam line vacuum pressure were made to be safely blocked from influencing the system by an appropriate interlock circuit that will shut down the extraction voltage application to the system or prevent damages to the vacuum components. Preliminary estimation of the beam power through the calorimetric measurement shows that 87.9% of the total power of the 60kV/18A beam with 200 seconds duration is absorbed by the calorimeter surface. Most of these I&C results would be highly appropriate for the construction of the main NBI facility for the KSTAR national fusion research project.
