In this study, a CFD methodology is employed to address the problem of the prediction of the flow in a T-junction. An Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) approach has been selected for its low computational cost. Moreover, Unsteady Reynolds Navier-Stokes methodologies do not need complex boundary formulations for the inlet and the outlet such as those required when using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) or Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). The results are compared with experimental data and an LES calculation. In the past, URANS has been tried on T-junctions with mixed results. The biggest limit observed was the underestimation of the oscillatory behavior of the temperature. In the present work, we propose a comprehensive approach able to correctly reproduce the root mean square (RMS) of the temperature directly downstream of the T-junction for cases where buoyancy is not present.

A 230 GHz SIS tunnel junction receiver has been being developed for radio astronomy in Nagoya University. In this heterodyne receiver, we use a $\~$1/3 reduced hight rectangular waveguide SIS mixer with two tuning elements as front end. The mixer block with SIS junction was cooled to 4K with a closed cycle He-gas refrigerator. So far, a double sideband receiver noise temperature lower than l00K in 222-237 GHz is obtained. The receiver exhibits a best DSB noise temperature of 69K at 236 GHz as well as 228 GHz.

Penetration depth of Nb electrodes in $Nb/A1O_x/Nb$ Josephson junctions has been measured by resistive method. For a given applied field, the total flux through the junction is temperature dependent because the penetration depth of Nb electrode varies with temperature. If the total flux equals an integral multiple of the flux quantum at certain temperatures, resistive peaks appear at those temperatures. The penetration depth of Nb can be determined by applying the above condition, The temperature dependence of penetration depth was found to be well described by the two-fluid model.

The electrical properties of TiM/TiSi$_{2}$ bilayer formed by rapid thermal anneal in NH$_{3}$ ambient after the Ti film is deposited on silicon cubstrate are investigated. N$^{+}$ contact resistance slightly increases with increasing annealing temperature with P$^{+}$ contact resistance decreases. The contact resistance of N$^{+}$ contance was less than 24[.OMEGA.] but P$^{+}$ thatn that of N$^{+}$ contact but the leakage current indicates degradation of the contact at high annealing temperature for both N$^{+}$ and contacts. The leakage current of N$^{+}$ Junction was less than 0.06[fA/${\mu}m^{2}$] but P$^{+}$ contact was 0.11-0.15[fA/${\mu}m^{2}$]. The junction breakdown voltage for N$^{+}$ junction remains contant with increasing annealing temperature while P$^{+}$ junction slightly decreases. The Electrical properties of a two step annealing are better than that of one step annealing. The Tin/TiSi$_{2}$ bilayer formed by RTA in NH$_{3}$ ambient reveals good electrical properties to be applicable at ULSI contact.

The power loss of the controllable switches in modular multilevel converter (MMC) HVDC transmission systems is an important factor, which can determine the design of the operating junction temperatures. Due to the dc current component, the approximate calculation tool provided by the manufacturer of the switches cannot be used for the losses of the switches in the MMC. Based on the enabled probabilities of each SM in an arm, the current analytical models of the switches can be determined. The average and RMS currents can be obtained from the corresponding current analytical model. Then, the conduction losses can be calculated, and the switching losses of the switches can be estimated according to the upper limit of the switching frequency. Finally, the thermal resistance model of the switches can be utilized, and the junction temperatures can be estimated. A comparison between the calculation and PSCAD simulation results shows that the proposed method is effective for estimating the junction temperatures of the switches in the MMC.

Two step RTD(Rapid Thermal Diffussion) of P into silicon wafer using tungsten halogen lamp was used to fabricated very shallow n$^{+}$p junction. 1st RTD was performed in the temperature range of 800.deg. C for 60 see and the heating rate was in the 50.deg. C/sec. Phosphrous solid source was transfered on the silicon surface. 2nd RTD process was performed in the temperature range 1050.deg. C, 10sec. Using 2 step RTD we can obtain a shallow junction 0.13.mu.m in depth. After RTD, the Ti-silicide process was performed by the two step RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) to reduced the electric resistance and to improve the n$^{+}$p junction diode.

열전소자를 사용하여 발광다이오드의 방열효과를 조사하였다. 열전소자의 냉각기능인 펠티에 효과(Peltier effect)를 이용하여, 고전력 발광다이오드의 방열과 p-n접합부의 온도를 제어하였다. 정격전류(350 mA)에 대한 고전력(1 W급) 발광다이오드(Light Emitting Diodes: LEDs)의 온도와 p-n접합부 온도는 각각 $64.5^{\circ}C$와 $79.1^{\circ}C$이다. 열전소자의 입력 전력 0.1~0.2 W에 대하여, LED의 온도와 접합부 온도는 각각 $54.2^{\circ}C$와 $68.9^{\circ}C$로 낮아진다. 열전소자에 입력 전력을 0.2 W 이상으로 증가할수록, LED의 온도와 접합부의 온도가 상승한다. 이는 열전소자에 의하여 흡수된 열이 LED로 역류하기 때문이다. 따라서 열전 소자의 냉각기능을 유지하기 위하는 열의 역류를 제어하여야 하며, 열의 역류는 LED의 온도와 방열장치의 온도 차가 클수록 커진다.

Hydrogenated a-SiGe middle cell for triple junction solar cell was investigated with various process parameters. a-SiGe I-layer was deposited at substrate temperature $245^{\circ}C$ and hydrogen content(R) was up to 26.7. Low optical bandgap(1.45eV) of a-SiGe cell was applied for middle cell although a-SiGe single cell efficiency with low Ge content was higher. And this cell was applied to the middle cell of a glass superstrate type a-Si/a-SiGe/uc-Si triple junction solar cell. The triple junction solar cell was resulted in the initial efficiency of about 9%, area $0.25cm^2$, under global AM 1.5 illumination.

As a vital part of renewable energy and electrical traction, power converters are supposed to have high reliability and good performance. However, power semiconductors produce considerable heat when the power converter works, which results in high junction temperatures that lower the reliability and performance of the power semiconductors. Many studies show that ambient humidity has a significant effect on power devices, but the influence of high humidity on junction temperatures has yet to be studied. Therefore, this paper presents a thermal model for power converters in moist air to obtain the junction temperature increase, which is utilized for the power converter used in a Switched Reluctance Motor System. Simulation results show that the law of converter temperature distribution is independent of the relative humidity in the case of fixed ambient temperature, whereas the temperature in the power converter decreases as the ambient relative humidity increases. These simulation results are validated with the experimental results.
