The hydroelectric Power plant of the KOWACO have been establishing and operating a full scale electric power facility, doing the largest generation during the flood period of the summer season. When the huge capacity generator is run like the Chung-Ju's hydroelectric Power plant, the generator current per generator flows a great current estimated at 5,900 A. The bus bar of a great current flows in cubicle, owing to the bus bar current Eddy current is created around magnetic substance and a local heating phenomenon occurs due to Joule heat finally. a local heating phenomenon still exists the danger of safety accident due to contact and accompanies losses enough to healing capacity inevitably. this study applies and examines related theory and numerical formula about the heating cause of a great current & enforces technical verification about the method of heating reduction previous managed at the site.

Lower thermospheric winds are forced primarily by non-uniform solar heating, atmospheric tides and other waves coming from below, and energy and momentum forcing associated with high-latitude magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, particularly ion drag and Joule heating. To understand the physical processes that control the thermospheric dynamics, we quantify the momentum forces that are mainly responsible for maintaining the high-latitude lower thermospheric wind system and examine the resulting momentum balance with the aid of the Thermosphere-Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (NCAR-TIEGCM) developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

To investigate thermal effects of silicon field emitter, we fabricated and characterized single silicon tips with various tip radii, which generate different joule heating. Through I-V and stability tests, the changes of emission characteristics and tip structures due to different tip heating were observed and discussed. From the results, we confirmed that the changes of emission characteristics due to thermal effects in silicon emitter could occur at relatively small emission currents and concluded that the thermal effects should be also considered under normal operation condition above 1 ${\mu}A$.

The environmental pollution which is global warming and abnormal climate is caused by increasing population and activated economics. To reduce environmental pollution, we have being efforts into reducing $CO_2$ emission and use of energy, resources. Especially, for the sake of light weight and fuel efficiency of automotive industry, many countries have defined the restrict environmental regulation which stipulate high magnitude of reducing $CO_2$ emission. In this study, we have predicted the problem of Mu-cell injection molding through the finite element analysis as a function of temperature controlled by Joule heating or in terms of mold temperature. From the result of finite element analysis, we have determined the optimized process and made the injection mold included electric current heating system with Mu-cell manufacturing. Lastly, we analyzed the surface characteristics of the injection products with mold temperature.

A $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ nanowire (GST NW) phase change memory device is investigated with Joule heating electrodes. GST is the most promising phase change materials, thus has been studied for decades but atomic structure transition in the phase-change area of single crystalline phase-change material has not been clearly investigated. We fabricated a phase change memory (PCM) device consisting of GST NWs connected with WN electrodes. The GST NW has switching performance with the reset/set resistance ratio above $10^3$. We directly observed the changes in atomic structure between the ordered hexagonal close packed (HCP) structure and disordered amorphous phase of a reset-stop GST NW with cross-sectional STEM analysis. Amorphous areas are detected at the center of NW and side areas adjacent to heating electrodes. Direct imaging of phase change area verified the atomic structure transition from the migration and disordering of Ge and Sb atoms. Even with the repeated phase transitions, periodic arrangement of Te atoms is not significantly changed, thus acting as a template for recrystallization. This result provides a novel understanding on the phase-change mechanism in single crystalline phase-change materials.

The aim of the present study is to investigate experimentally the mechanism of an exploding wire in water and also to observe the bubble motion induced by an exploding wire. The experiment of an exploding wire is carried out in a water tank. As a metallic wire, a tungsten wire of 0.2mm in diameter and 10mm in length is employed. The electric energy of 50-300J is fed to the wire from a capacitor of 100$\mu$F charged up to 1-2.5kV. The explosion is recorded by a CCD camera with the resolution of 1$\mu$sec. The explosion process of metallic wire is divided into three phases. Phase 1 : As the voltage is applied to the wire, the temperature increases due to Joule heating and the wire emits light. Phase 2 : Then the wire melts and the cylindrical plasma is formed between the electrodes. Up to this stage, strong light emission is observed. Phase 3 : The light emission goes out and a vapor bubble begins to grow spherically. The radius of a bubble oscillates in time, but the amplitude of oscillation diminishes in several cycles.

PRAM (Phase Change Random Access Memory) is well known to use reversible phase transition between amorphous (high resistance) and crystalline (low resistance) states of chalcogenide thin film by electrical Joule heating. In this paper, we introduce a stack-type PRAM device with a novel GST/TiAlN structures (GST and a heating layer of TiAlN), and report its electrical switching properties. XRD analysis result of GST thin film indicates that the crystallization of the GST film start at about $200^{\circ}C$. Electrical property results such as I-V & R-V show that the phase change switching operation between set and reset states is observed, as various input electrical sources are applied.

최근 활발히 연구되고 있는 AMOLED는 평판 디스플레이 분야를 이끌어 갈 차세대 선두 주자로 크게 주목 받고 있다. AMOLED는 전압 구동 방식인 AMLCD와 다르게 전류 구동 방식으로 a-Si TFT 보다 LTPS-TFT 사용이 요구되며, 대면적 기판으로 갈수록 결정립의 균일도가 매우 중요한 인자로 작용한다. 현재 양산이 가능한 AMOLED는 핸드폰이나 15인치 TV정도로 크기가 소형이며 대형 TV나 컴퓨터 모니터 등을 양산하기 위해 많은 방법이 시도되고 있다. 양산체제에서 사용되는 결정화 방법으로는 ELC가 가장 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 그러나 레이저를 사용하는 ELC 방법은 대면적으로 갈수록 레이저 빔 자체의 불균일성, shot to shot 불균일성, 레이저빔 중첩의 부정확도 등으로 인한 균일도의 부정확성이 커짐으로 인한 mura 현상이 나타나고 레이저 장비의 사용에 대한 비용 부담을 피할 수 없다. 따라서 non-laser 방식에 결정화 방법이 요구되나 SPC 경우는 상대적으로 고온에서 장시간이 걸리고, MIC 뿐만 아니라 MIC 응용 방법들은 금속 오염에 대한 문제가 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 문제로 인하여 결정립 크기의 균일도가 우수한 다결정 실리콘 박막을 제조하는 신기술에 대한 필요성이 매우 높은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 비정질 실리콘 박막 상부 혹은 하부에 도전층을 개재하고, 상기 도전층에 전계를 인가하여 그것의 주울 가열에 의해 발생한 고열로 비정질 실리콘 박막을 급속 고온 고상 결정화하는 방법에 관한 기술인 JIC (Joule-heating Induced Crystallization) 결정화 공정을 개발하였다. 본 공정은 상온에서 수 micro-second 내에 결정화를 수행하는 것이 가능하며 도전층과 실리콘 박막 사이에 barrier층 삽입를 통하여 금속 오염을 막을 수 있으며 공정적인 측면에서도 별도의 chamber가 필요하지 않는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 JIC 결정화 공정 조건에 따른 결정화 기구 및 JIC poly-Si의 미세구조 및 물리적 특성에 관한 논의가 이루어질 것이다.

The microaccelerometer using a tunnelling current effect concept has the potential of high performance, although it requires slightly complex signal-processing circuit for servo-system. The paddle of micro accelerometer is pulled to have the gap width of about 2nm which almost allows the flow tunnelling current. This paper demonstrates at capacitor of microaccelerometer the use of the coupled thermo-electric analysis for voltage, current, heat flux and Joule heating then tunnelling current flows. Two electrodes are applied to the microaccelerometer producing a unform difference of temperature gradient and electric potential between the paddle and the substrate.

In general a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) consists of a series of P type and N type thermoelectric materials sandwiched between two wafers. When a DC current passes through these materials, three different effects take place; Peltier effect, Joule heating effect and heat transfer by conduction due to temperature difference between hot and cold plates. In this study we have developed a micro TEC using $Bi_2Te_3$ (N type) and $Bi_{0.5}Sb_{1.5}Te_3$ (P type) thin films. In order to improve that performance of a micro TEC, we made 10 um height TE legs using special PR only for lift-off. We measured COP (coefficient of performance) and temperature difference between hot and cold connectors with current.
