In this raper, proposed easy half-wavelength LPF and acceptor structure in actuality manufacture using EBG (Electromagnatic Bandgap) structure for application of micro-strip circuit. Because conventional half-wavelength LPF and acceptor is narrow line-width of High impedance, actuality manufacture is difficult. Width that in proposed structure narrow microstrip line of High impedance EBG structure use and has equal impedance embodied to wide microstrip line. Also, it is seen that actuality manufacture is available applying to half-wavelength LPF that have cut-off Frequency of 3GHz.

ZnO is a wide-bandgap II-IV semiconductor and has a variety of potnetial applications. ZnO exhibits good piezoelectric, photoelectric and optical properties, and is a good candidate for an electroluminescence device. ZnO films have been deposited on (001) sapphire by PLD technique. Nd:YAG pulsed laser was operated at a wavelength of $\lambda=355nm$. The ZnO films were deposited at oxygen pressures from base to 500 mTorr. The substrate temperatures was increased from $200^{\circ}C\; to\;700^{\circ}C$ films showed strong UV emission by increasing the partial oxygen pressure. We have investigated the relationship between partial oxygen pressure and the intensity of UV emission.

Based on the escape cone concepts, high-brightness light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been analyzed. In AlGaAs or InGaAlP LEDs, photon absorption in the ohmic region under the electrode is known to be significant. Thus, ins general, a thick window layer (WL) and a transparent substrate (TS) would minimize photon shielding by the electrodes and considerably improve photon output coupling efficiency. However, the schemes do not seem to be necessary in InGaN system. Photon absorption in ohmic contact to a wide bandgap semiconductor such as GaN may be negligible and, as a result, the significant photon shielding by the electrodes will not degrade the photon output coupling efficiency so much. The photon output coupling efficiency estimated in InGaN LEDs is about 2.5 - 2.8 times that of the conventional high-brightness LED structures based on both WL and TS schemes. As a result, the extenal quantum efficiency in InGaN LEDs is as high as 9% despite the presumably very low internal quantum efficiency.

ZnO is a wide bandgap (3.3 eV) semiconductor with high mobility and good optical transparency. However, off-current characteristics of ZnO thin-film transistor (TFT) need improvements. In this work we studied the variation in ZnO TFT current under different annealing conditions. Annealing usually modifies gas adsorption at grain boundaries of ZnO. When oxygen is adsorbed, electron density decreases due to strong electronegativity of the oxygen, and TFT current decreases as a result. Our experiments showed that current increased after vacuum annealing and decreased after air annealing. We explain that the change of off-current is caused by the desorption and adsorption of oxygen at the grain boundaries.

This paper presents a review of an improved high power-high frequency III-V wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor device, Gallium Nitride (GaN). The device offers better efficiency and thermal management with higher switching frequency. By having higher blocking voltage, GaN can be used for high voltage applications. In addition, the weight and size of passive components on the printed circuit board can be reduced substantially when operating at high frequency. With proper management of thermal and gate drive design, the GaN power converter is expected to generate higher power density with lower stress compared to its counterparts, Silicon (Si) devices. The main contribution of this work is to provide additional information to young researchers in exploring new approaches based on the device's capability and characteristics in applications using the GaN power converter design.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a wide bandgap semiconductor possessing photochemical stability and thus widely used for photocatalysis. However, enhancing photocatalytic efficiency is still a challenging issue. In general, the efficiency is affected by physio-chemical properties such as crystalline phase, crystallinity, exposed crystal facets, crystallite size, porosity, and surface/bulk defects. Here we propose an alternative approach to enhance the efficiency by studying interfaces between thin TiO2 layers to be stacked; that is, the interfacial phenomena influencing on the formation of porous structures, controlling crystallite sizes and crystallinity. To do so, multi-layered TiO2 thin films were fabricated by using a sol-gel method. Specifically, a single TiO2 thin layer with a thickness range of 20~40 nm was deposited on a silicon wafer and annealed at $600^{\circ}C$. The processing step was repeated up to 6 times. The resulting structures were characterized by conventional electron microscopes, and followed by carrying out photocatalytic performances. The multi-layered TiO2 thin films with enhancing photocatalytic efficiency can be readily applied for bio- and gas sensing devices.

The gas sensor is essential to monitoring dangerous gases in our environment. Metal oxide (MO) gas sensors are primarily utilized for flammable, toxic and organic gases and $O_3$ because of their high sensitivity, high response and high stability. Tungsten oxides ($WO_3$) have versatile applications, particularly for gas sensor applications because of the wide bandgap and stability of $WO_3$. Nanosize $WO_3$ are synthesized using the hydrothermal method. As-prepared $WO_3$ nanopowders are in the form of nanorods and nanorulers. The crystal structure is hexagonal tungsten bronze ($MxWO_3$, x =< 0.33), characterized as a tunnel structure that accommodates alkali ions and the phase stabilizer. A gas detection test reveals that $WO_3$ can detect acetone, butanol, ethanol, and gasoline. This is the first study to report this capability of $WO_3$.

With the recent emphasis on the importance of energy conservation, studies on high-efficiency elevator systems are being continuously conducted. Therefore, pulse width modulation converters are commonly used in traction drives on elevator systems. Wide bandgap devices have been increasingly commercialized, and their application to power conversion systems, such as renewable and energy storage system, has been gradually increasing. In this study, a SiC inverter for an elevator traction drive is investigated. In particular, an inverter is designed to minimize stray and parasitic inductance. Input and output filters are designed by considering switching frequency. The designed SiC inverter reduces volume by approximately 32% compared with that of a Si inverter, and power converter efficiency is over 98.8%.
