Steady state and transient thermal analysis has been done by a finite element method in a diode of 12kV blocking voltage for microwave oven. The diode was fabricated by soldering ten pieces of 1200V diodes in series, capping a dummy wafer at the far end of diode series, and finally copper wire bonded for building anode and cathode terminal. In order to achieve high voltage and reliability, the edge of each diode was beveled and passivated by resin and epoxy with a thickness of 25$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 3,700$\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. The chip size, thickness and material properties were very important factor for high voltage diode package. And also, thermal stress value was highest in the edge of diode and solder. So, design of edge in silicon was very important to thermal stress.

In this paper, we investigate a filtering technique to reduce the adverse effect of long motor leads on H-bridge cascaded 7-level inverter fed ac motor drive. The switching surge voltage becomes the major cause to occur the insulation failure by serious voltage stress in the stator winding of high voltage induction motor. However, the effect of switching surge appears un seriousin high voltage induction motor than low voltage induction motor. Consequently, we demonstrated that the filter connected to the motor terminals greatly reduces the transient voltage stress and ringing, moreover we show lowers the dv/dt of the inverter switching pulse. The results of simulation show the suppression of dv/dt and the reduced peak voltage at the motor end of a long cable.

This paper presents a soft switching DC/DC converter for high voltage application. The interleaved pulse-width modulation (PWM) scheme is used to reduce the ripple current at the output capacitor and the size of output inductors. Two converter cells are connected in series at the high voltage side to reduce the voltage stresses of the active switches. Thus, the voltage stress of each switch is clamped at one half of the input voltage. On the other hand, the output sides of two converter cells are connected in parallel to achieve the load current sharing and reduce the current stress of output inductors. In each converter cell, a half-bridge converter with the asymmetrical PWM scheme is adopted to control power switches and to regulate the output voltage at a desired voltage level. Based on the resonant behavior by the output capacitance of power switches and the transformer leakage inductance, active switches can be turned on at zero voltage switching (ZVS) during the transition interval. Thus, the switching losses of power MOSFETs are reduced. The current doubler rectifier is used at the secondary side to partially cancel ripple current. Therefore, the root-mean-square (rms) current at output capacitor is reduced. The proposed converter can be applied for high input voltage applications such as a three-phase 380V utility system. Finally, experiments based on a laboratory prototype with 960W (24V/40A) rated power are provided to demonstrate the performance of proposed converter.

DC 스트레스에 의해 노쇠화된 짧은 채널 LDD NMOSFET에서 문턱전압과 subthreshold 전류곡선의 변화를 관측하여 hot-carrier 주입에 의한 노쇠화를 연구하였다. 포화영역에서 정의된 문턱전압의 변화 ${Delta}V_{tex}$를 trapped charge에 기인한 변화성분 ${Delta}V_{ot}$와 midgap에서 문턱전압 영역에 생성된 계면상태에 의한 변화성분${Delta}V_{it}$로 분리하였다. 게이트 전압이 드레인 전압보다 큰 positive oxid field ($V_g>V_d$) 조건에서는 전자들이 게이트 산화막으로 주입되어 문턱전압이 증가되었으나 subthreshold swing은 크게 변화하지 않고 subthreshold 전류곡선만 높은 게이트 전압으로 평행 이동하였다. 게이트 전압이 드레인 전압보다 낮은 negative oxide field ($V_g) 조건에서는 hole이 주입되고 포획된 결과를 보였으나 포획된 positive charge수 보다 더 많은 계면상태가 동시에 생성되어 문턱전압과 subth-reshold swing이 증가되었다.

Microelectromechanical system switches are becoming more and more popular in the electronics industry; there is a need for careful selection of the materials in the design and fabrication of switches for reliability and performance issues. The membrane used for actuation to change the state of an RF switch is made mostly using gold or aluminum. Various designs of membranes have been proposed. Due to the flexure-type structures, the design complexity increases, which makes stress analysis mandatory to validate the reliability and performance of a switch. In this paper, the effective stress and actuation voltage required for different types of fixed-fixed membranes is analyzed using finite element modeling. Effective measures are presented to reduce the stress and voltage.

The clamping voltage characteristics and accelerated aging behavior of CoCrTb-doped Zn/Pr-based varistors were investigated for different sintering temperatures. The best clamping voltage characteristics were obtained for the varistors sintered at $1330^{\circ}C$, with a clamping voltage ratio (K) of 1.63 at a surge current of 5 A and 1.75 at a surge current of 10 A. The varistors sintered at $1330^{\circ}C$ exhibited the highest stability, with -0.1% in $%{\Delta}E_{1\;mA}$, -0.2% in $%{\Delta}{\alpha}$, and +15.5% in $%{\Delta}J_L$ for E-J characteristics under a stress state of 0.90 $E_{1\;mA/120^{\circ}C$ /24 h. Furthermore, it exhibited $%{\Delta}{\varepsilon}_{APP}$' of -0.7% and $%{\Delta}tan{\delta}$ of +5.7% for dielectric characteristics under the same stress state.

Reactors are connected with capacitors to passive filter circuits for reducing harmonics caused by power conversion application. This passive filter frequently gets out of order by voltage and current stress. Especially filter reactor has too much voltage harmonics components, its trouble rate is higher than capacitor. In this paper, we analyzed voltage and current of reactor and capacitor used for passive filter by simulation and measurement. If reactor has a tolerance on variation of reactance value, series resonance frequency is different from originally filter design frequency and parallel resonance can be generated at the close point of the former. Because filter absorbs harmonic component of non-linear load, much of harmonic voltage has been impacted on reactor.

In this paper, a new interleaved high step-up converter with low voltage stress on the switches is proposed. In the proposed converter, soft switching is provided for all switches by just one auxiliary switch, which decreases the conduction loss of auxiliary circuit. Also, the auxiliary circuit is expanded on the converter with more input branches. In the converter all main switches operate under zero voltage switching condition and auxiliary switch operate under zero current switching condition. Because of the interleaved structure, the reliability of converter increases and input current ripples decreases. The clamp capacitor in the converter not only absorb the voltage spikes across the switch due to leakage inductance, but also improve voltage gain. The proposed converter is fully analyzed and to verify the theoretical analysis, a 100 W prototype was implemented. Also, to show the effectiveness of auxiliary circuit on conduction EMI, EMI of the proposed converter comprised with hard switching counterpart.
