New organic light-emitting diodes with structure of ITO/DNTPD/TAPC/$Bebq_2/Bebq_2$:RP-411/ET-137/LiF/Al using the selective doping of 5% RP-411 in a single $Bebq_2$ host in the two wavelength(green, red) emitter formation were proposed and characterized. In the experiments, with a 300${\AA}$-thick undoped emitter of $Bebq_2$, three kinds of devices with different thicknesses of 30${\AA}$, 40${\AA}$ and 50${\AA}$ in the doped emitter of $Bebq_2$:RP-411 were fabricated. The electroluminescent spectra showed two peak emissions at the same wavelengths of 511 nm and 622 nm for the fabricated devices. When the device with a 30${\AA}$-thick doped emitter is referred as "D-1", the device with a 40${\AA}$-thick doped emitter is referred as "D-2" and the device with a 50${\AA}$-thick doped emitter is referred as "D-3", the relative intensity of 622 nm to 511 nm at two wavelength peaks was higher in the D-2 and the D-3 than in the D-1. The devices of D-1, D-2 and D-3 showed the color coordinates of (0.43, 0.46), (0.46, 0.44) and (0.48, 0.43) on the CIE chart, respectively.

The technologies of Ni/Cu plating contact is attributed to the reduced series resistance caused by a better contact conductivity of Ni with Si and the subsequent electroplating of Cu on Ni. The ability to pattern narrower grid lines for reduced light shading was combined with the lower resistance of a metal silicide contact and an improved conductivity of the plated deposit. This improves the FF (fill factor) as the series resistance is reduced. This is very much requried in the case of low concentrator solar cells in which the series resistance is one of the important and dominant parameter that affect the cell performance. A Selective emitter structure with highly dopeds regions underneath the metal contacts, is widely known to be one of the most promising high-efficiency solution in solar cell processing In this paper the formation of a selective emitter, and the nickel silicide seed layer at the front side metallization of silicon cells is considered. After generating the nickel seed layer the contacts were thickened by Cu LIP (light induced plating) and by the formation of a plated Ni/Cu two step metallization on front contacts. In fabricating a Ni/Cu plating metallization cell with a selective emitter structure it has been shown that the cell efficiency can be increased by at least 0.2%.

In this study, we propose a design method to optimize the electro-optical efficiency of a planar solar cell structure by adjusting one-dimensionally periodic emitter electrodes. Since the aperture ratio of the active layer decreases as the period of the emitter electrode decreases, the amount of light absorption diminishes, affecting the performance of the device. Here we design the optimal structure of the periodic emitter electrode in a simple planar solar cell, by simulation. In terms of optics, we find the condition that shows optical performance similar to that of a reference without the emitter electrode. In addition, the optimized electrode structure is extracted considering both the optical and electrical efficiency. This work will help to increase the utilization of solar cells by suggesting a structure that can most efficiently transfer charge generated by photoelectric conversion to the electrodes.

In this study, sheathless electrospray from PDMS/glass microchips with conducting metal emitter tip is described. A chip-based capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry (CE/MS) system has advantages of the CE separation and on-line electrospray detection of peptide solution. We have fabricated a new electrospray ionization(ESI) device composed of the metal emitter tip and CE separation channel monolithically in a glass microchip. The separation channel and metal emitter tip are fabricated using a glass wet etching and gold electro plating process, respectively. The fabricated micro electrospray chip was tested by spraying peptide sample for mass spectrometric analysis. Singlely-charged peak and doublely-charged peak of peptide were detected and further MS/MS fragmentation was performed in each peak. Direct comparisons with conventional glass or fused silica emitters showed very similar performance with respect to signal strength and stability.

$ALU^+$ 태양전지는 PN접합을 후면에서 즉, Al을 소성하여 형성시키기 때문에 얼마나 균일하고 두껍게 형성하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 소성(Firing)은 태양전지 제조 과정에서 후면의 접촉을 위한 중요한 공정이다. 본 연구에서는 상업화가 가능한 n-type $ALU^+$ Emitter 태양전지에서 소성 횟수에 따른 특성을 연구 하였다. $ALU^+$ emitter 형성의 최적화를 위해 소성온도를 가변하고, 최적화된 온도에서 소성 횟수에 따른 DIV 측정을 통해 셀을 분석 하였다. 소성 횟수는 1~3회로 하였고, 그 결과 단락전류 밀도(Jsc)가 33.57mA/$cm^2$로 처음보다 15.1%증가 하였고, 곡선인자(Fill Factor)는 3회에서 66.04%로 218%증가 하였다. Al을 짧은 시간 안에 소성을 시키므로 해서 후면의 $P^+$ Emitter가 균일하게 형성되었기 때문에 개방전압(Voc)의 증가를 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 $ALU^+$ 태양전지의 후면 Aluminium 소성 조건의 최적화를 통하여 $ALU^+$ emitter가 충분히 형성되지 못하면 누설전류가 발생되고 직렬저항(Rs)이 크게 증가하여 개방전압(Voc) 및 단락전류밀도(Jsc)의 감소가 발생하게 되고, 직렬저항(Rs)의 증가와 병렬저항(Rsh)의 감소는 Fill Factor의 급격한 감소를 초래하게 됨을 알 수 있다. 이를 개선하면 태양전지 효율을 상승시키는 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Drip irrigation is a affordable irrigation under structured cultivation. Drip irrigation system with high uniformity can be achieved through effective design, maintenance and management of irrigation systems. Nevertheless the design guidelines have not been established for the drip irrigation system products in domestic and imported considering cultivation method and greenhouse environment in Korea. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the performance of drip irrigation system with uniformity through an experiment. The experiment was conducted to study with nine different types of emitters produced in domestic and imported. Hazen-Williams coefficients were also estimated for the drip emitter through hydraulic simulation for design use. It was found that approximately 91.5 % for 10 cm emitter spacing and 96.2 % for 30 cm emitter spacing of statistical uniformity were observed in respectively. Average emission uniformity was decreased as the reduction of emitter spacing. The results would be used in the drip irrigation system design and guideline construction.

The understanding of the mechanism of device degradation has been accomplished recently, for devices using $AlQ_3$ electron transport and emitter molecule. In this presentation the experimental evidence for the degradation mechanism of $AlQ_3$ based devices will be reviewed, showing that the hypothesis of an unstable $AlQ_3^+$ cation explains a large amount of experimental data. This hypothesis, however, explains not only the room temperature device degradation in time but also sheds light on temperature stability of OLEDs. Dependence of half-life of a series of devices with an emitter layer composed of a mixture of $AlQ_3$ and different hole transport molecules (mixed emitter layer) will be discussed when they are operated at elevated temperatures. These results can also be explained in the framework of an unstable $AlQ_3^+$ species. An OLED structure containing a doped mixed emitter layer will be described, which shows extraordinary stability, half-life of 1200 hours at operating temperature of 70 C and initial luminance of 1650 $cd/m^2$. We will also discuss a novel Black $Cathode^{TM}$ OLED with reduced optical reflectivity, which is also stable at elevated temperatures. The new cathode utilizes a conductive light-absorbing layer made of a mixture of metals and organic materials.

In this paper, a novel fast response NDIR analyzer (FRNDIR), which uses an electrically pulsed semiconductor emitter and dual type PbSe detector for the PPM-level detection of carbon dioxide (CO$_2$) at a wavelength of 4.28 $\mu\textrm{m}$, is described. Modulation of conventional NDIR energy typically occurs at 1 to 20 Hz. To achieve real time high-speed measurement, the new analyzer employs a semiconductor light emitter that can be modulated by electrical chopping. Updated measurements are obtained every one millisecond. The detector has two independent lead selenide (PbSe) with IR band pass filters. Both the emitter accuracy and the detector sensitivity are increased by thermoelectric cooling of up to -20 degrees C in all semiconductor devices. Here we report the use of semiconductor devices to achieve improved performance such that these devices have potential application to CO$_2$ gas measurement and, in particular, the measurement of fast response CO$_2$ concentration at millisecond level.

Since PESC(passivated emitter solar cell) was developed in 1985, high efficiency silicon solar cell technology based on planar technology has been improved in the order of PERC, Point Contact Solar Cell, PERL. BCSC and DSBC, which do not require photolithography, are expected to replace commercial screen printed cells because of its potential for low cost and high efficiency. In this paper, history and characteristics of each type of cells are reviewed.
