This paper present a new sort of multilayer piezoelectric ceramic transformer for AC-adapt. This piezoelectric transformer operates n the second thickness extensional vibration mode. The output voltage of the multilayer piezoelectric transformer was simulated using ANSYS. As results, the maximum stress appeared at the two points where one is the middle of input and the other is middle of output side in Second thickness extensional vibration mode. And output voltage was inversely decreased by increasing number of output layers.

The characteristics for bimorph PZT cantilever of laboratory-fabricated have been evaluated experimentally. The deflections of cantilever with PZT are result from a capillary force between a water drop and a tip of cantilever. The output voltage due to deflect cantilever are depend on the tip shape and thickness of cantilever. We applied a bimorph PZT cantilever to oil thickness measurement. This reasonable concept is that the output voltage be caused by different defected characteristics between oil and surface. Experimental results demonstrated that the high measurement accuracy of the oil film thickness is obtained from the probe.

This paper presents a new sort of multilayer piezoelectric ceramic transformer for switching regulation power supplies. This piezoelectric transformer operate in the second thickness resonant vibration mode. Accordingly its resonant frequency is higher than 1 NHz, Because output power is low if input and output part of transformer are consisted of single layer, this research suggests a new method, which is consisted of both input and output part of transformer have 2-layered piezoelectric ceramics, The size of transformer is 20 mm in width and length, and 1.4 mm in thickness, respectively, To design a high efficient switching circuit of the transformer, internal circuit parameters were measured and then weve calculated a parameter of inductor nd capacitor to design a driving circuit, Weve used a MISFET and its driver circuit modified a calp oscillator circuit as the primary switching circuit.

We have explained Process and electrical characteristics of a step-down Rosen type piezoelectric transformer for AC-adapter. When the electric voltage is applied to the driving piezoelectric vibrator notarized in the thickness direction, then output voltage is generated at the generating piezoelectric vibrator polarized in the thickness direction due to the piezoelectric effects. Output voltage and current from a single-layered piezoelectric transformer were measured under the various condition of loads and frequencies It was shown from experiments that output voltage has increased and resonance frequency has changed according to various resistor loads. Output current has decreased inversely proportional to the loads

Carbon-nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) have drawn wide attention as one of the potential substitutes for metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) in the sub-10-nm era. Output characteristics of coaxially gated CNFETs were simulated using FETToy simulator to reveal the dependence of drain current on the nanotube diameter and gate oxide thickness. Nanotube diameter and gate oxide thickness employed in the simulation were 1.5, 3, and 6 nm. Simulation results show that drain current becomes large as the diameter of nanotube increases or insulator thickness decreases, and nanotube diameter affects the drain current more than the insulator thickness. An equation relating drain saturation current with nanotube diameter and insulator thickness is also proposed.

In this study, in order to set ELID conditions in the internal grinding wheel, the characteristics with the variations of grit size, output voltage and peak current were examined by using conventional machining center(M/C) equipped with electrolytic in-process dressing(EL1D). The initial working voltage was lowered and the working current was high with increasing grit size. The insulating layer thickness increased, as the final voltage increased with the output voltage and peak current. The initial wear rate of the wheel machined with ELID were measured indirectly by using surface roughness tracer. The initial wear rate of the wheel with ELID increased along with high grit size. In case that the grit size with ELID was low, the output voltage and peak current had to be increased to increase the insulating layer thickness. In case of the high grit size, the output voltage and the peak current were established low, which made the insulating layer thickness decreased.

In this study, the effect of solar cell cover glass on the solar cell performance is evaluated. Silicon solar cell (active area:4*6cm, efficiency:12.6% at AMO condition) is used for this study. ITO(Indium tin Oxide) film thickness of the ITO/AR/substrate glass/solar cell structure samples are $40{\AA}$, $60{\AA}$, $160{\AA}$, $240{\AA}$ respectively. The solar cell maximum output power on the stacking structure variations showed 465mW in the AR/ITO/substrate glass/solar cell, and minimum output power showed 403mW in the AR/substrate glass/solar cell. The maximum output power of the solar cell on the ITO thickness variations of the ITO/AR/substrate glass/solar cell showed 460mW at $40{\AA}$ then decrease output power as ITO thickness increase. For environment tests, all samples are exposed UV light in the vacuum chanber. The output power degradation of AR(UVR)/substrate glass/solar cell stacking structure is small compared with ITO/AR(UVR)/substrate glass/solar cell stacking structure.

In photovoltaic power generation where minority carrier generation via light absorption is competing against minority carrier recombination, the substrate thickness and material quality are interdependent, and appropriate combination of the two variables is important in obtaining the maximum output power generation. Medici, a two-dimensional semiconductor device simulation tool, is used to investigate the interdependency in relation to the maximum power output in front-lit Si solar cells. Qualitatively, the results indicate that a high quality substrate must be thick and that a low quality substrate must be thin in order to achieve the maximum power generation in the respective materials. The dividing point is $70{\mu}m/5{\times}10^{-6}sec$. That is, for materials with a minority carrier recombination lifetime longer than $5{\times}10^{-6}sec$, the substrate must be thicker than $70{\mu}m$, while for materials with a lifetime shorter than $5{\times}10^{-6}sec$, the substrate must be thinner than $70{\mu}m$. In substrate fabrication, the thinner the wafer, the lower the cost of material, but the higher the cost of wafer fabrication. Thus, the optimum thickness/lifetime combinations are defined in this study along with the substrate cost considerations as part of the factors to be considered in material selection.

In this paper, we have explained electrical characteristics of a step-down Rosen type piezoelectric transformer for AC-adapter. When the electric voltage is applied to the driving piezoelectric vibrator polarized in the longitudinal direction, then output voltage is generated at the generating piezoelectric vibrator polarized in the thickness direction due to the piezoelectric effects. Output voltage and current from a 11-layered and a 13-layered piezoelectric transformer were measured under the various conditions of loads and frequencies. We measured resonant frequency from impedance curve. It was shown from experiments that output voltage has increased and resonant frequency has changed according to various resistor loads. Output current has changed inversely proportional to resistances.
