Using the LOCOS process, we have fabricated the lateral type polysilicon field emission triodes with poly-Si/oxide/Si structure and investigated their current-voltage characteristics for three biasing modes of operation. The fabricated devices exhibit excellent electrical performances such as a relatively low turn-on anode voltage of 14 V at VGC = 0V, a stable and high emission current of 92${\mu}$A/triode over 90 hours, a small gate leakage current of 0.23 ${\mu}$A/triode and an outstanding transconductance of 57${\mu}$S/5triodes at VGC = 5V and VAC = 26V. these superior electrical operation is believed to be due to a large field enhancement effect, which is related to the sharp cathode tips produced by the LOCOS process as well as the high aspect ratio (height /radius ) of the cathode tip end.

In this paper, transient characteristics of the Punch Through Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (PT-IGBT) have been studied. On the contrary to Non-Punch Through Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(NPT-IGBT), it has a buffer layer and reduces switching power loss. It has a simple drive circuit controlled by the gate voltage of the MOSFET and low on-state resistance of the bipolar junction transistor. The transient characteristics of the PT-IGBT have been analyzed analytically. Excess minority carrier and charge distribution in active base region, the rate of anode voltage with time are expressed analytically by adding the influence of buffer layer. The experimental data is obtained from manufacturer. The theoretical predictions of the analysis have been compared with the experimental data obtained from the measurement of a device(600 V, 15 A) and show good agreement.

In this paper, we designed 4.5kV/1.5kA IGCT devices. GCT thyristor has many superior characteristics compared with GTO thyristor, for examples; snubberless turn-off capability, short storage time, high turn-on capability, small turn-off gate charge and low total power loss of the application system containing device and peripheral parts such as anode reactor and snubber capacitance. In this paper we designed GCT thyristor devices, and analyzed static and dynamic characteristics of GCT thyristor depending on the minority carrier lifetime, n-base thickness and doping concentration of n-base region, respectively. Especially, turn-on and turn-off characteristics are very important characteristics for GCT thyristor devices. So, we considered above characteristic for design and analysis of GCT devices.

We have proposed and fabricated two lateral type field emission diodes, poly-Si emitter by utilizing the local oxidation of silicon (LOCOS) and GaN emitter using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process. The fabricated poly-Si diode exhibited excellent electrical characteristics such as a very low turn-on voltage of 2 V and a high emission current of $300{\;}\bu\textrm{A}/tip$ at the anode-to-cathode voltage of 25 V. These superior field emission characteristics was speculated as a result of strong surface modification inducing a quasi-negative electron affinity and the increase of emitting sites due to local sharp protrusions by an appropriate activation treatment. In respect, two kinds of procedures were proposed for the fabrication of the lateral type GaN emitter: a selective etching method with electron cyclotron resonance-reactive ion etching (ECR-RIE) or a simple selective growth by utilizing $Si_3N_4$ film as a masking layer. The fabricated device using the ECR-RIE exhibited electrical characteristics such as a turn-on voltage of 35 V for $7\bu\textrm{m}$ gap and an emission current of~580 nA/l0tips at anode-to-cathode voltage of 100 V. These new field emission characteristics of GaN tips are believed to be due to a low electron affinity as well as the shorter inter-electrode distance. Compared to lateral type GaN field emission diode using ECR-RIE, re-grown GaN emitters shows sharper shape tips and shorter inter-electrode distance.

We report the enhancement of hole injection using ozone-treated Ag nanodots dispersed on indium tin oxide anode in $Ir(ppy)_3-doped$ phosphorescent OLED. Phosphorescent OLED fabricated on Ag nanodots dispersed ITO anode showed a lower turn on voltage and higher luminescence than those of OLEDS prepared commercial ITO anode. Synchrotron x-ray scattering examination results showed that the Ag nanodots dispersed on ITO anode is amorphous structure due to low deposition temperature. It was thought that decrease of the energy barrier height as Ag nanodots changed to $AgO_x$ nanodots by surface treatment using ozone for 10 min led to enhancement of hole injection in phosphorescent OLED. Futhermore, efficient hole injection can be explained by increase of contact region between anode material and organic material through introduction of $Ag_2O$ nanodots.

A bilayer is used as an anode electrode for organic electroluminescent devices. The bilayer consist of an ultrathjn ZnO layer adjacent to an hole-transporting layer and an Indium tin oxide(ITO) outerlayer. We tried to bring low the barrier between the devices as deposited ZnO films on ITO substrates. We fabricated the organic EL structure consisted of Al as cathode, $Al_{2}O_{3}$ as electro transport layer, Alq3 as luminously layer, triphenyl diamine(TPD) as hole transport layer and ZnO(l nm )/ITO(l50 nm) as anode. The result of this experiment was not good compared with the case of using ITO, Nevertheless, at this structure we obtained the lowest turn-on voltage as the value of 19 V and the good brightness (6200 $cd/m^{2}$) of the emission light from the devices. Then the quantum efficiency was to be 1.0%.

We investigated the improvement in electrical characteristics of large AlGaN/GaN on Si Schottky barrier diode (SBD) induced by structural change to achieve a better trade-off between the forward and reverse performance to obtain high power conversion efficiency in PFC converter. Using an optimized dry etch condition for a large device, we fabricated three-types of SBD with 63 mm channel width: conventional, recessed, recessed dual-anode-metal SBD. The recessed dual-anode-metal SBD exhibited a very low turn-on voltage of 0.34 V, a high forward current of 1.63 A at 1.5 V, a leakage current of $114{\mu}A$ at -15 V, a breakdown voltage of 794 V.

Si FEA로 부터 tip의 표면을 Co 금속으로 silicidation한 새로운 3극형 Co-silicided Si FEA를 제작하고 이의 전계 방출특성을 조사하였다. $10^{-8}Torr$의 고진공상태에서 제작된 소자의 단위 pixel(pixel 면적 : $250{\mu\textrm{m}}{\times}250{\mu\textrm{m}}$, tip 어레이 : $45{\times}45$)를 통해 측정된 turn-on 전압은 약 35V로, 아노드 전류는 $V_A=500V,\;V_G=55V$ 바이어스 아래에서 약 $1.2{\mu\textrm{A}}(0.6nA/tip)$로 나타났다. 제작된 소자는 초기 과도상태를 제외하면 장시간의 동작을 통해 전계방출 전류의 감소없이 매우 안정된 전기적 특성을 나타내었다. Co-silicided Si FFA 의 낮은 turn-on 전압과 높은 전류안전성은 Si tip 표면에 형성된 실리사이드 박막의 열화학적 안전성과 낮은 일함수에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.

The characteristic of carbon nano fiber (CNF) as electron emitters was described. Carbon nano fiber (CNF) of herringbone was prepared by thermal chemical vapor deposition(CVD), mixed with binders and conductive materials, and then were formed by screen-printing process. In order to increase effectively field emissions, the surface treatment of rubbing & peel-off was applied to the printed CNF emitters on cathode electrode. The measurements of field emission properties were carried out by using a diode structure inline vacuum chamber. CNF of herringbone type showed good emission properties that a turn on field was as low as $2.5V/{\mu}m$ and current density was as large as $0.15mA/cm^2$ of $4.5V/{\mu}m$ with electric field. After the vacuum packaged panel of 5-inch in diagonal, the measured white brightness was as high as $7000cd/m^2$ at 1900V of anode and 700V of gate voltage.
