  • 결정질 태양전지 제작에서, passavtion은 표면의 반사도를 줄여주는 반사 방지막의 역할과 표면의 dangling bond를 감소시켜, 표면 재결합 속도를 줄이고 minority carrier lifetime을 증가하는 데 큰 영향을 미친다. 그렇기 때문에 저가형 고효율 태양전지 제작에서 우수한 특성을 가지는 passivation막은 매우 중요한 이슈이다. 본 연구에서는 LBC(local back contact) 구조를 가지는 단결정 태양전지 후면에, 기존의 Full Al-BSF의 passivation 막을 SiNx와 ONO passivation 막으로 각각 대체하여, LBC 구조에서 더 적합한 passivation 막을 찾고자 하였다. SiNx와 ONO passivation 막은 단결정 LBC 구조 태양전지 후면에 각각 형성되었고 $800^{\circ}C$, 20 sec 조건으로 소성되었다. 실험결과는 minority carrier lifetime과 surface recombination velocity로 관찰하였다. 그 결과, SiNx passivation 막의 표면 재결합 속도는 29.7cm/s이고, ONO passivation 막의 표면 재결합 속도는 24.5cm/s로, Full Al-BSF 표면 재결합 속도 750cm/s에 비해 더 적합한 passivation 막으로 확인할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 SiNx,ONO passivation 막이 Full Al-BSF보다 전극에 수집되는 캐리어의 양이 많아짐에 따라 효율향상을 가져올 수 있을 것이다.

  • The paper proposes a novel ZVZCS PWM converter. It enables the main switch to be turned on/off with both zero voltage and zero current, the auxiliary switch to be turned on/off with ZCS, the rectifier diode to be turned on/off with ZVS. Moreover, this proposed soft switching technique is suitable for not only minority carrier device but also majority carrier semiconductor device. Since auxiliary resonant circuit of the proposed boost converter is placed out of the main power path, therefore, there are no voltage and current stresses on the main switch and diode. The operation of the proposed boost converter is explained and analyzed theoretical and experimentally, from a prototype operating at 100KHz.

  • Proton irradiation technology was used for improvement of switching characteristics of the PT-IGBT. Proton irradiation was carried out at 5.56 MeV energy with $1{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ doze from the back side of the wafer. The I-V, breakdown voltage, and turn-off delay time of the device were analyzed and compared with those of un-irradiated device and e-beam irradiated device which was conventional method for minority carrier lifetime reduction. For proton irradiated device, the breakdown voltage and the on-state voltage were 733 V and 1.85 V which were originally 749 V and 1.25 V, respectively. The turn-off time has been reduced to 170 ns, which was originally $6{\mu}s$ for the un-irradiated device. The proton irradiated device was superior to e-beam irradiated device for the breakdown voltage and the on-state voltage which were 698 V and 1.95 V, respectively, nevertheless turn-off time of proton irradiated device was reduced to about 60 % compared to that of the e-beam irradiated device.

  • Local minority carrier lifetime control by means of particle irradiation is an useful technology for Production of modern silicon Power devices. Crystal damage due to ion irradiation can be easily localized by choosing appropriate irradiation energy and minority tarrier lifetime can be reduced locally only in the damaged layer. In this work, proton irradiation technology was used for improving the switching characteristics of a un diode. The irradiation was carried out with various energy and dose condition. The device was characterized by current-voltage, capacitance-voltage, and reverse recovery time measurements. Forward voltage drop was increased to 1.1 V at forward current of 5 A, which was $120\%$ of its original device. Reverse leakage current was 64 nA at reverse voltage of 100 V, and reverse breakdown voltage was 670 V which was the same voltage as original device without irradiation. The reverse recovery time of device was reduced to about $20\%$ compared to that of original device without irradiation.

  • In this paper, the new LIGBT structures with trap injection are proposed to improve switching characteristics of the conventional SOI LIGBT. The Simulations are performed in order to investigate the effects of the positiion, whidth and concentration of trap injection region with a reduced minority carrier lifetime using 2D device simulator MEDICI. Their electrical characteristics are analyzed and the optimum design parameters are extracted. As a result of simulation, the turn off time for the model A with the trap injection is $0.78\mus$. These results indicate the improvement of about 2 times compared with the conventional SOI LIGBT because trap injection prevents minority carriers which is stored in the n-drift region during turn off switching. The latching current is $1.5\times10^{-4}A/\mum$ and forward blocking voltage is 168V which are superior to those of conventional structure. It is shown that the trap injection is very effective to reduce the turn off time with a little increasing of on-state voltage drop if its design and process parameters are optimized.

  • SiNx:H films have been widely used for anti-reflection coatings and passivation for crystalline silicon solar cells. In this study, SiNx:H films were deposited using high frequency (13.56 MHz) direct plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and the optical and passivation properties were investigated. The radio frequency power, the spacing between the showerhead and wafer, the $NH_3/SiH_4$ ratio, the total gas flow, and the $N_2$ gas flow were changed over certain ranges for the film deposition. The thickness uniformity, the refractive index, and the minority carrier lifetime were then measured in order to study the properties of the film. The optimal deposition conditions for application to crystalline Si solar cells are determined from the results of this study.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of fur and leather clothes of minority races of China in Northeas and Inner Mongolia. To examine their characteristics, the clothes and ornaments were classified into four types: headwear, clothes, footwear, and accessories. First, headwear was divided into animal head-shaped, petal-shaped, round-shaped, and cone-shaped head wear. Among them, the animal head-shaped headwear was made by making the best use of the shape of animal's head and it was used as the best disguising method when hunting. Second, clothes were composed of upper garments and lower garments. For the upper garments, Po and Jeogori were worn and pants were worn for the lower garments. The clothes were decorated with lining, applique, or top-stitching on the outer collar, neck circumference, and the edge of sleeves and pants. Third, for the footwear, high boots of leather were developed to meet the needs for a convenient life in the plains. In some areas, fur shoes and leather shoes were also used. Finally, accessories included bags and gloves. Bags were usually decorated with fur on the outside or with a fringe or applique of tanned leather. Gloves were lavishly decorated with embroideries and partly with fur or leather.
