Effect of design factors on the performance of vacuum system was simulated for optimum design of system. In this investigation, the feasibility of modelling mechanism for $VacSim^{Multi}$ simulator was proposed. Simulation results of pumping design factor showed the possibilities of simulation fore-study for the detailed design factors. Simulation of roughing pump presented the expected pumping behaviors based on the specifications of commercial pump. Application of booster pump exhibited the high pumping efficiency for middle vacuum range. Combinations of optimum backing pump for diffusion and turbo vacuum system were obtained. And, the characteristics of process application of both systems were also acquired.

Effect of valve conductance on performance of vacuum system was simulated for optimum design of vacuum system. In this investigation, the feasibility of modeling mechanism for VacSimMulti simulator was proposed. Application specific design of vacuum system is required to meet the particular process conditions for various industrial implementations of vacuum equipments. Geometry and length, diameter of vacuum valve were modeled as simulation modeling variables for conductance effects. Series vacuum system was modeled and simulated with varied dimensions and structures of exhaust valves. Variation of valve diameter showed the more significant effects on vacuum characteristics than that of pipeline length variations. It was also observed that the aperture structure of valve had the superior vacuum characteristics among the modeled systems.

Thin film electronic devices which brought the current mobile environment could be fabricated only under the high quality vacuum conditions provided by high vacuum systems. Especially for the development of advanced thin film devices, constant high quality vacuum as the deposition pressure is definitely needed. For this purpose, the variable conductance throttle valves were employed to the high vacuum system. In this study, the effects of throttle valve applications on vacuum characteristics were simulated to obtain the optimum design modelling of variable conductance of high vacuum system. Commercial simulator of vacuum system, $VacSim^{(multi)}$, was used on this investigation. Reliability of employed simulator was verified by the simulation of the commercially available models of high vacuum system. Simulated vacuum characteristics of the proposed modelling were agreed with the observed experimental behaviour of real systems. Pressure limit valve and normally on-off control valve were schematized as the modelling of throttle valve for the constant process-pressure of below $10^{-3}torr$. Simulation results were plotted as pump down curve of chamber, variable valve conductance and conductance logic of throttle valve. Simulated behaviors showed the applications of throttle valve sustained the process-pressure constantly, stably, and reliably.

Vacuum simulation is associated with the prediction and calculation of how materials, pumps and systems will perform using mathematical equations. In this investigation, three different high vacuum systems were simulated and estimated with each vacuum characteristics by VacTran simulator. In each of modelled vacuum systems, selection of gas loads into vessel, combination of rough and high vacuum pumps and dimension of conductance elements were proposed as system variables. In pump station model, the pumping speed to pressures by the combination of root pump was analyzed under the variations of vessel volume. In this study, the effects of outgassing dependent on vessel materials was also simulated and aluminum vessel was estimated to optimum materials. It was obtained from the modelling with diffusion pump that the diameter, length of 50×250[mm]roughing line was characterized as optimum variables to reach the ultimate pressure of 10E-7[torr]. Optimum design factors for vacuum characteristics of modelled vacuum system were achieved by VacTran simulator. Feasibility of VacTran as vacuum simulator was verified and applications of VacTran in high tech process expected to be increased.

This paper discusses the simulation and LI(light impulse) test of the shieldless vacuum interrupter concept. The shields of vacuum interrupter play an important role in absorbing the metal vapor. But shield distort the electric field distribution of inner vacuum interrupter. Therefore, the insulation efficiency will improve. if shield of vacuum interrupter inside does not exist. As a result, FEM simulation show that improve distribution of electrical field and equi-potential line. But LI test result dissimilar to FEM simulation result. Shieldless vacuum interrupter model lower BIL(breakdown impulse light) than vacuum interrupter have installed shield. Because conditioning process occurred metal vapor. This paper compared that FEM analysis and LI test of installed shield model and shieldless model.

In this paper, it has been investigated that the design and simulation of vacuum pump driven by linear motor. Vacuum pump consists of unified plunger and piston part, coils, inlet valve and outlet valve. Operating principal of vacuum pump show that air is to flow to go inside through the inlet valve when the magnetic force (16N) is exerted, whereas, air is to flow to go outside through outlet valve when spring farce (14.8N) is exerted. The results of simulation. it was turned out that reached vacuum pressure was about -0.55 bar at 150 seconds, magnetic force was loaded with 16 Newton, displacement of actuator was about 8mm.

In this paper, we simulated three different HV systems and analyzed of each vacuum characteristics by VacCAD modelling. In each of modelled vacuum systems, selection of chamber materials, combination of rough pump with high vacuum pump and conductance of roughing line (diameter and length) were proposed as system variables. In the modelling of chamber materials, the pumping times to ultimate pressures of different chamber materials (stainless steel, aluminum) were compared by the variations of chamber volume. In this model, the effects of outgassing dependent on the chamber materials was also simulated and aluminum was estimated to optimum chamber materials. It was also obtained that modelling of vane and roots pump with diffusion pump and diameter, length of $50{\times}250$ [mm]roughing line were characterized as optimum variables to reach the ultimate pressure of 10E-7 [mbar] most effectively. Optimum design factors for vacuum characteristics of modelled vacuum system were achieved by VacCAD simulations. Feasibility of VacCAD as vacuum simulator was verified and applications of VacCAD expected to be increased to fields in vacuum needed.
