The contact resistance and leakage current of $N^+$ contact increases with increasing alloy tide. $P^+$ contact resistance decreases with increasing alloy time but $P^+$ contact tentage current increases. The contact resistance and contact leakage current increases with increasing alloy cycles for both $N^+$ and $P^+$ contacts.

In this paper, we studied the electrical and the microwave properties of the amorphous $As_{10}Ge_{15}Te_{75}$ thin film. The electrical properties of a-$As_{10}Ge_{15}Te_{75}$ thin film were examined d.c. and a.c. bias with annealing condition. As the result of the electrical properties, we observed the physical characteristics of a-$As_{10}Ge_{15}Te_{75}$ thin film such as the density of defect states, characteristic relaxation time, localized density of states, and localized wave function by using CBH and QMT model. We also examined the microwave conduction properties before and after d.e. switching.

Light induced degradation of hydrogenated amorphous silicon(a-Si:H) are related to the number of weak dangling bonds which are thought to be responsible for the Staebler-Wronski effects, and caused the many photoelectric problems in applications of thin film transistors and solar cell, etc. In this paper, we deposited fluorinated amorphous silicon films(a-Si:H;F) with $SiH_4$ and $SiF_4$ gas mixture and investigated the effects of fluorine atoms on the evoluations of the crystallinity and improvements of light instability. We have found that micro-crystallinity produced in a-SI:H;F films and marked maximum value of 22% at the flow rate of $SiH_4:SiF_4$=2:10 sccm by UV spectrophotometer measurement, while n-Si:H film deposited with only $SiH_4$ gas showed no crystallinity. Light-induced degradation property of a-Si:H;F films is also improved which is mainly due to the etching effects of fluorine atoms on the weak Si-Si bonds and unstable hydrogen bonds. It is considered that involving fluorine atoms in a-Si:H films may contribute to the suppression of light-induced degradation and evolution of micro-crystallinity.

In this study, $Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3$(x=0.65, 0.52, 0.35) thin films were fabricated by Sol-Gel method. A stock solution with excess Pb 10[mol.%] of $Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3$ was made and spin-coated on the Pt/$SiO_2$/Si substrate at 4000[rpm] for 30[sec.].

SEG(Selective Epitaxial Growth) and ELO(Epitaxial Lateral Growth) of Silicon offer new opportunities in the fabrication of MEMS(Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) structures. SEG of silicon enables the stacking of junctions in addition to those resulting from the standard bipolar process and this properly was utilized for the fabrication of an improved-performance color sensor. When the crystalline growth takes place through the seed windows and proceeds over the dielectric, after reaching the surface, it form an ELO silicon layer and this ELO-Si can be modified into various structures for MEMS application such as cantilevers, beams, diaphragms.

The microwave dielectric properties of (1-x)$LaAlO_3-xCaTiO_3$ system were investigated. As the amount of $LaAlO_3$ increased, the value of the unloaded Q increased, but the dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$) decreased. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(${\tau}_f$) of $5ppm/^{\circ}C$ was obtained from the composition of $0.35LaAlO_3-0.65CaTiO_3$ in which the values of ${\varepsilon}_r$ and $Q{\cdot}f_o$ were 42 and 32,500, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop $TiS_2$ composite cathode for lithium polymer battery(LPB). $TiS_2$ electrode represent a class of insertion positive electrode used in Li secondary batteries. In this study, we investigated preparation of $TiS_2$ composite cathode and AC impedance response of $TiS_2$ composite/SPE/Li cells as a function of state of charge(SOC) and cycling. The resistance of B type cell using $TiS_2PEO_8LiClO_4PC_5EC_5$ composite cathode was lower than that of A type cell using $TiS_2PEO$ composite cathode. The cell resistance of B type cell is high for the first few percent discharge, decreases for midium discharge and then increases again toward the end of discharge. We believe the magnitude of the cell resistance is dominated by passivation layer impedance and small cathode resistance. AC impedance results indicate that the cell internal resistance increase with cycling, and this is attributed to change of passivation layer impedance with cycling. The passivation layer resistance($R_f$) of B type cell decreases for the 2nd cycling and then increases again with cycling. Redox coulombic efficiency of B type cell was about 141% at 1st cycle and 100% at 12th cycle. Also, $TiS_2$ specific capacity was 115 mAh/g at 12 cycle.

The relationship between surface current, time are plotted and discussed.

This paper provides the results and analyses of investigations into porcelain suspension insulators failures on the KEPCO system. The high failure rate of suspension insulators on distribution lines has been attributed to the volume expansion of the cement, the insulation puncture breakdown of the porcelain and the power arc failure. The utility must use only the good insulators and at least reduce the insulator failure rate. So, this paper recommends that the utility make test criteria(cement expansion test, steep front-of-wave flashover voltage test and power arc test. etc) on the suspension insulators.

The pollution-free secondary Li ion battery has been developed recently. However due to short history of Li ion battery, the standards for characterized assessments and standardized testing methods have not been prepared and established yet. Also, the researches have not been done systematically regarding the operating methods of these new type of batteries. Such limited knowledge of new batteries emphasizes the importance of development of characterized assessment and the operating methods.

In this paper, we studied the tracking characteristics of silicone rubbers that differed in the degree of crosslinking. As the tracking method, we adopted ASTM D 2303 and Merry-Go-Round(MGR) test method. It was found that the higher the degree of crosslinking, the better tracking characteristics. In these two test methods, specimens showed similar tendency of performance variation according to the degree of crosslinking. However the degradation phenomena were very different. As for MGR method, only the color of specimens' surface changed without any erosion or tracking path on them. On the contrary, the specimens subjected to ASTM D 2303 test method showed severe erosion.

To improve dielectric and mechanical properties of insulating composite by plasma surface treatment, new plasma surface treatment process is designed with concentric and hemi-circle electrodes system, the plasma, which is generated between anode and cathode, is induced to the upper side of the electrode system and treats the surface of the insulators.

The oxidized thickness of porous silicon layer(PSL) increases with the charge supplied during electrochemical oxidation and current density. The humidity sensor shows high sensitivity at high relative humidity in low temperature. The sensitivity and linearity can be improved by increasing a porosity of PSL.

The electrical properties of Al/TiN/Ti contact are investigated at submicron contacts. The contact resistance and contact leakage current are dependent on metallization, surface dopant concentration, semiconductor surface treatment and contact plug ion implantation. In this paper, the contact resistance and contact leakage current are studied according to surface dopant concentration, semiconductor surface treatment and contact plug ion implantation at 0.8 micron contact. The contact resistance and contact leakage current increases with increasing substrate ion concentration. HF cleaning represents high contact resistance but low contact leakage current while CDE cleaning represents low contact resistance but high contact leakage current. Contact plug ion implantation decreases contact resistance but increases contact leakage current. Specially, RTA represents good electrical properties.

The pulsed electro-acoustic method was used as a nondestructive measurement technique of spare charge distribution in dielectric materials. In our work presented here, we measured simultaneously the space charge distribution and conduction current in the low-density polyethylene samples with elevated temperatures up to $80^{\circ}C$ and electric field up to 20kV/mm. In the temperature less than $50^{\circ}C$, homocharges are mainly accumulated close to the electrodes under DC bias and after grounding. At the temperature exeeds $50^{\circ}C$, heterocharges are accumulated near the opposite electrode under DC bias. However after grounding the upper electrode, this charges immediately disappeared. The conduction current in LDPE at $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ was reduced slowly with increasing interval of applied voltage. But as temperature increased, the conduction current tended to increase slowly with the time and the degree of increase is enlarged.

Internal voids located within an insulation will arise partial discharge that causes local breakdown and even the entire insulation breakdown. For HV apparatuses, it is usual case that several voids are formed within non-uniform electric field condition rather than single void within uniform field, which can be solved analitically. The purpose of this work is to study partial discharge and breakdown characteristics of an insulation according to the distribution pattern of two disc-type voids that are located within non-uniform field. The results from numerical field analysis and experiments show that the electric field within the voids decreases as they are arranged more serially, which accordingly results in the increase of partial discharge inception field(PDIF) much higher than that of single void model. With parallel arranged voids, PDIF is almost the same as that of single void model. On the other hand, AC breakdown strength decreases as voids are arranged more serially, which is a natural result considering the reduction of effective insulation thickness. For parallel voids, this effect cannot he noticed where as they show different pattern compared with single void and serial void models in $\Phi$-Q-N analysis. Considering these results may leads us to the conclusion that, in the evaluation of insulating products through PD test, it is not sufficient to determine only PDIV or existence of PD at predetermined voltage level. We could evaluate more accurately by considering all the available data such as PDIV, PD magnitude, PD occurring phase, number of PD pulses, and etc.

A large leakage current may be one of the critical issues for poly-silicon thin film transistors(poly-Si TFTs) for LCD applications. In order to reduce the leakage current of poly-Si TFTs, several offset gated structures have been reported. However, those devices, where the offset length in the source region is not same as that in the drain region, exhibit the asymmetric electrical performances such as the threshold voltage shift and the variation of the subthreshold slope. The different offset length is caused by the additional mask step for the conventional offset structures. Also the self-aligned implantation may not be applicable due to the mis-alignment problem. In this paper, we propose a new fabrication method for poly-Si TFTs with a self-aligned offset gated structure by employing a photo resistor reflow process. Compared with the conventional poly-Si TFTs, the device is consist of two gate electrodes, of which one is the entitled main gate where the gate bias is employed and the other is the entitled subgate which is separate from both sides of the main gate. The poly-Si channel layer below the offset oxide is protected from the injected ion impurities for the source/drain implantation and acts as an offset region of the proposed device. The key feature of our new device is the offset lesion due to the offset oxide. Our experimental results show that the offset region, due to the photo resistor reflow process, has been successfully obtained in order to fabricate the offset gated poly-Si TFTs. The advantages of the proposed device are that the offset length in the source region is the same as that in the drain region because of the self-aligned implantation and the proposed device does not require any additional mask process step.

In this paper, we evaluated the sputter-deposited Cr/Cu thin film fuses on $Al_2O_3$ substrates by the adhesive, breaking and repetitive over-current test as a function of temperature on them.

The adhesive strength and the number of repetition were Increasing and then decreasing with the temperature. The maximum adhesive strength of over $9kgf/9mm^2$ was obtained at $400^{\circ}C$. In the breaking test, the post-arc time characteristic was better than any other factor.

So in this experiments, we investicated the optimum content of Ni, by testing expansion coefficient, impedance characteristics, overvoltage.

NbTi thin films were prepared on Si wafer and Cu substrate by rf magnetron sputtering in the range of sputtering pressure $3{\times}10^{-2}$torr to $3{\times}10^{-4}$torr at room temperature. The influence of sputtering pressure and substrate type on crystallographic orientation and morphology of NbTi thin films was investigated by using X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM), respectively. And the effect of crystallographic orientation and morphology of NbTi film on electromagnetic behaviors was estimated by measuring critical current in various applied magnetic field. The film morphology changed from porous structure consisting of tapered crystallites to densely deposited film decreasing with sputtering pressure. The change of crystallographic orientation with the sputtering pressure and rf power was calculated from the texture coefficient of(002) plane based on XRD patterns. It was found that a change of texture coefficient of(002) plane increased with decreasing sputtering pressure. From observation of critical current in various applied magnetic field, we have identified that the change of critical current abruptly decrease applying with magnetic field and NbTi film produced at high sputtering pressure does not exhibit superconductivity but at low sputtering pressure shows superconductivity.

$SiN_x$ films deposited on bare Si and wet-etched Si by RPCVD were fabricated to investigated the effect of wet-etched surface of Si on the characteristics of the interface between $SiN_x$ and Si. FT-IR spectra on each film showed similar characteristics. However, it was confirmed that the electric characteristics(I-V, C-V) of the interface between $SiN_x$ and Si have been degraded by the wet etching process of Si, which is applied for the formation of Si field emitter array. Therefore, we suggest that the stacked structure of insulating layer with good interface characteristics is desirable for FED application.

The transformer is fabricated with two piezoelectric vibrator with the divided electrodes and adhesive insulator. We applied the electric input to the driving vibrator in parallel and connect the output voltage to the generating vibrator in series to the resistor load near its fundamental resonance frequency. Then we investigate output voltage in series twice as large as in parallal. Moreover we investigate the load characteristics at resonance frequencies under various resistor and the frequency characteristics near the resonance frequency under no load. Its equvalent circuit is derived from the Mason's model of a thickness-driven piezelectric vibrator. By its equevalent circuit, symbolic expressions for input impedances, voltage ratios, resonance frequencies, and bandwidths have been derived. The values calculated from those symbolic exprssions are shown to agree well with the measurement values.

An analytic model for the optimum design of the power MOSFET considering the degradation of the breakdown voltage by the three dimensional effect is proposed. The proposed method gives the optimum design parameters such as the lateral radius of window curvature and the doping concentration of the epi-layer, which does not minimize the on-resistance but also maintains the required breakdown voltage. The analytical results are verified by the quasi 3D simulation tools, MEDICI, and it is found that the proposed method may be a good guideline for the design of power MOSFET.

So, this thesis will be explained on the theory and direction of reseach hereafter.

The pure PTFE nozzles may not be used in the GCB with very high interrupting capacity because of their excessive ablation and carbonization. But it is known that the nozzles with filler can show good performances at the extremely high inetrrupting currents of 50kA or 63kA. So, the manufacturing process of filled Teflon has been carefully studied. Then several specimens have been prepared for the experiments and analyses of their mechanical and electrical characteristics. Finally the high power arc tests have been conducted to the Teflon nozzle with filler of $Al_2O_3$. The results of experiments and tests show that the filled Teflon nozzle has superior mechanical characteristics, comparable electrical characteristics to a pure Teflon nozzle and a distinguished endurance against high power arcs.

Crystal structure of CdS films deposited at substrate temperature of $50{\sim}250^{\circ}C$ was hexagonal type with preferential orientation of the (002)plane parallel to the substrate. Optical transmittance of the CdS film is increasing and resistivity is decreasing with increasing subsrate temperature. CdS/CdTe Solar cell characteristics were improved by increasing of substrate and annealing temperature. However, low efficiency due to small Jsc, Voc below 0.3 $mA/cm^2$ and 430 mV are observed. Low efficiency is contributed to be high resistance of CdTe films and contact.

The resistivity of CdTe films deposited on the glass substrate was about $10^5{\sim}10^7{\Omega}cm$.

In this study, we observed the surface morphology of amorphous silicon annealed at $700{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$ for recrystallization. In case of $700{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ annealing, deposited amorphous silicon have the saturated XRD intensity and decreased surface roughness after annealing for 3 hours. It is thought that surface roughness of amorphous silicon increases because of contributions caused by atomic rearrangement of surface, for instance, surface stress etc., in the course of recrystallinzation and decrease because of the relaxation of stress by annealing in reaching completion of recrystallization. In case of $1000^{\circ}C$ annealing, the effect of grain size on deposited silicon is more effective than that of surface roughness. These results show that small grain silicon has the stronger dependence on surface roughness than large grain one.

The absorption spectra of synthesis of azobenzene containing long chain fatty acids were investigated by UV spectrophotometer in chloroform solution. Also, the pressure-area isotherms of the molecules on the water-air interface were obtained and the LB films were fabricated onto a quartz slides and quartz crystals by the conventional Langmuir-Blodggett(LB) method. The UV absorption spectra of Langmuir-Blodggett(LB) films on quartz slides have been measured. From these measurements, following conclusions were obtained. Azobenzene containing long chain fatty acids show a photoisomerization by irradiation of UV light and visible light alternatively. At the pressure-area isotherms, the value of surface pressure increment were decreased when the number of $C_n$ increased. Also the LB films show a photoisomerization characteristics. So the LB film of azobenzene containing long chain fatty acid has possibility to being applied to functional molecular device such as photomemory and light switching.

In this paper, stability improvement of fragile LB films was attempted by monolayers at the air-water interface and crosslinking of the resulting LB films. The spreading polymers were synthesized by radical copolymerization of monoalkyl with oligoethyleneglycol methyl ether, and poly(allylamine) was employed as the subphase polymer.

From the FT-IR(Reflection and Transmission) spectra, the formation of carboxylate ions and the relative orientation of the side chains could be confined. The monolayers were transferable on various substrates, and the resulting LB films were characterized by SEM and VIS-UV absorbance.

And the pulse-reponse of porous PZT maded transducer was significantly advanced to that of solid PZT maded transducer.

As a result of experiment, We can explain that the current of needle electrode increase in proportion to insulation of charge reducer.

The optically-gated p-i-n diode switches have been fabricated with gold-compensated silicon. The turn-on and turn-off delay times and the rise and fall times were measured as a function of optical power level, bias, and pulse width. The turn-on characteristics shows a strong dependence an optical pulse power and a delay time(${\delta}{\iota}$) between two pulses, but a weak dependence on the width of optical pulse. Actually there is no turn-off delay in gold-doped p-i-n switches and the fall time is negligible.

This paper presents a capacitive humidity sensor using porous silicon layers formed tom the anodization of p-type silicon in HF solution.

These preliminary resluts show that futher improvement can still be expected.

XLPE cable, which has excellent electrical and thermal performance, has been widely used for HV transmission & distribution lines. The most important thing to produce the cable products having good performance is to set the optimal operating conditions of cable machinery. Because it is very difficult to measure the temperature of cable under curing process practically, it is necessary to evaluate the cable temperature by using the method to simulate real conditions numerically. In this work, We investigate the basic theory on transient heat transfer between curing tube and cable for making a numerical simulation program using computer. In this program, a differential equation is approximated by a infinite differential method and a few assumptions are used to simplify the model and minimize the calculation time of program.

Electrical property of polymeric insulating plays a key role in the trend of making power apparatus high voltage, and reliability and safety of apparatus in the long term depend on it. There is a recent trend of applying polymeric material to insulating material for outdoor, and particularly it is expected that it may be used partly as a pin insulator. Using as an alternate of insulating material for outdoor, however, it has still many problems to be solved in the field of material such as resistances of environment and tracking. It has been given attention to that the silicon rubbers and the epoxy have recently been used. but the the reliability in the viewpoint of material property becomes an issue. The polymeric materials such as EPDM, Epoxy and PVC have also been used as an insulating materials for outdoor. In this point of view, we studied each tracking phenomenon with test material such as rubber for pin, PVC for powercable used as an insulating material for outdoor, and Epoxy etc. The characteristics of anti tracking shows EPDM>Epoxy>PVC in order in the results. We also know that there is an close relationship between properties of tracking and thermegravimetry.

The different hydrogen passivation effects on low-temperature processed and high-temperature processed poly-Si thin film transistors have been investigated. The hydrogen passivation on low-temperature processed poly-Si TFT results in the increase of the field-effect mobility and the decrease or the threshold voltage, while the hydrogenation increases the field-effect mobility and decreases the leakage current in high-temperature processed poly-Si TFT. The effective trap state densities of low-temperature processed poly-Si TFT before and after 5 hours of hydrogenation are estimated at about $4.0{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ and $1.5{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$, while those of high-temperature processed poly-Si TFT are about $1.5{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ and $1.2{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$, respectively.

The dielectric and polarizable properties of $0.9Pb_{1-x}La_x({Mg}_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.1PbTiO_3$ (x=0,1,2,3,4,5) have been investigated. The temperature-dependant electrostictive characteristics of 0.9PMN-0.1PT relaxor ferroelectric system were improved by enhencing the extent of the diffuse phase transition(DPT). This was achieved using PMN-PTceramics by the partial substitution of La at the Pb site. The curie temperature and the maximum dielectric permittivity decreased by substituting La and the electric field-related hysteresis phenomena decreased with increasing La substitution amount.

This paper reports some results of an experimental investigation of planar double injection magnetic sensors. The threshold voltage proved to be very sensitive to an applied magnetic field. The magnitude and direction of the threshold voltage variation depends on the field strength and its orientation with respect to the conduction chennel. The positively-directed field pushes the carriers into the bulk causing an increase in the threhold voltage. These results seem to agree with a path modulation due to Lorentz force. The application of a negative field causes a negative variation, which is dependent on the surface recombination velocity of the silicon-$SiO_2$ interface.

The question-"How fast a electron tunnels a potential barrier?" looks like simple, but is controversy for more than 40 years. Because "tunneling" involves complicated internal processes and its definition is ambiguous. Recent experiments showed that the phase time is the best model of tunneling time among other times-for example, dwell time, Larmor clock time etc. In this paper, we simulated the tunneling time for Gaussian wave packet by program InterQuanta and compared with the phase time. In particular we focused on the effect of wave packet spreading in momentum space(or real space) which is not expressed by the phase time formula.

In the fiber-photodiode(PD) coupling module using v-groove, the paraxial approximation is no longer valid because the beam enters obliquely the PD substrate with the angle of $20^{\circ}$ after being reflected from the $55^{\circ}$ mirror formed by anisotropically etching of the (100) silicon wafer. In this paper, we study the beam profile incident on the PD active area and fiber-PD coupling efficiency for this case.

And now, we plan to multichannel transmission to measure intermodulation, frequency assignments and optimal channel numbers et al.

It is shown that the nozzle clogging is the dominating factor in the pressure rise of the puffer chamber. It permits to estimate the dielectric strength of interrupters.

A cylindrical-post magnetron sputtering system was designed for pipe inner coating. The discharge condition was depended on the gas pressure, magnetic field and pipe diameter. At given discharge current, discharge voltage increased a little with pipe diameter. The electron temperature and floating potential increased with magnetic field.

The detection and measurement of partial discharge activity prevalent in the solid insulating systems of high-voltage generator stator windings has, for many years, been a recognized method of assessing the insulation condition of such systems. Partial discharge activity occurs at sites of degradation within, or at the surface of, stator's insulation systems under high voltage stressing. However, partial discharge pulses suffer from attenuation and distortion when transmitted along windings, because of the complex L-C network between windings. The mode of transmission varies with the signal frequency and is dependant on the geometrical configurations of windings. This paper reports the investigated results of the signal propagation characteristics along the windings when both sinusoidal signals and simulated partial discharge pulses are injected at the various positions of stator windings within the 25 MVA, 11 kV hydro generator. The on-line identification technique of partial discharge location in generator windings is also proposed in this study.

In this study, a neural network algorithm through a data standardization method was developed to discriminate the phase-shifted partial discharge(PD) patterns such as a $\phi$-q-n pattern. Considering the PD measurement in the field, it is not so easy to acquire absolute phase angles of PD pulses. As a consequence, one of the significant problems to be solved in applying the neural network algorithm to practical systems is to develop a method that can discriminate phase-shifted $\phi$-q-n patterns. Therefore, authors established a new method which could convert phase-shifted $\phi$-q-n patterns to a standardized $\phi$-q-n pattern which was not influenced by phase shifting. This new standardization method improved the recognition performance of a neural network for the phase-shifted $\phi$-q-n patterns considerably.

During measurement of atomic hydrogen in a silane plasma using two-photon excited laser induced fluoresecence, laser-induced dissociation of the gas was observed. This was investigated untill conditions for the input laser fluence were determined where the effect was negligible. A measurement of the atomic hydrogen distribution was then performed within the limits of these conditions. Absolute density determinations showed atomic hydrogen densities of around $3{\times}10^{17}m^{-3}$.

Basic discharge characteristics of a ferroelectric ball and mica sheet double barrier have been studied for learning the fundamentals of the barrier discharges and for checking the potential to be used as a plasma generator. It is found that plasma generation of the plasma generator was influenced greatly by the dielectric constant of the ferroelectric ball barrier and applied power frequency. As a result, there are optimum conditions of the dielectric constant as a barrier and the applied frequency to generate ozone effectively, which were ${\varepsilon}_r$=600 and f=4 kHz at the present experimental case.

We investigated NOx reduction characteristics as various of parameters, are gas flow rate, input voltage form and, humidity. From the results of study, reduction characteristics of NOx exhibited good when gas flow rate was small, input voltage was DC and much humidity were contained to NOx gas.

For hydrogen-cooled large turbine generators, partial discharges in ground wall insulations are suppressed by high hydrogen pressure. The first goal of the experiment is to investigate the effect of hydrogen pressure on partial discharge activity and aging rate in turbine generator winding insulations. A series of tests have been performed on two groups of the accelerated aging experiments. The first group of stator windings was aged under hydrogen pressure of 4 atm while the second group of stator windings was aged under air atmosphere. The stator windings aged under air atmosphere suffer from larger partial discharge magnitude with larger voids at high electrical stress than those under hydrogen pressure. The second goal of the experiment is to evaluate the validity of on-line measurement technique which is normally measured under hydrogen environment. The test results show that further experiments are needed to apply the on-line scheme to turbine generator being under high hydrogen pressure.

An influences of gap clearance, pressure and applied voltage shape on breakdown characteristics are investigated by using a rod-to-plane electrode in $SF_6$ gas. In case of D.C and A.C, a corona stabilization effect increases the breakdown voltage remarkably for lower pressure than 0.2MPa, whereas incase of negative D.C this effect exists independently of gas pressure. This suggests that an insulation optimization in a pratical apparatus is needed to prevent a corona appearance through the removal of local field enhancement.

This paper deals with the design of conductor stringing of KEPCO 765kV transmission line. The main subject in the design of conductor stringing is the determination on what the stringing tension is. According to the stringing tension, the weight and height of towers and the strength necessary for conductor, hardware, insulator vary, and the construction cost and the reliability of tower are affected largely. Therefore, in order to determine the optimum condition for stringing conductors, We appraised various items : estimation of economic comparision, strength appraisal of conductor, hardware, insulator, etc. After studying these entirely, we present the condition of condutor stringing for KEPCO 765kV transmission line.

This paper describs the specification on 800kV GIS which we prepared for 800kV 8,000A 50kA GIS development. This specification is supported by Public Standards and Data. And, we are designing the 800kV GIS on this specification and drawing up the 800kV GIS layout for type test.

The interrupting capability of gas circuit breakers(GCB) are critically dependent on the pressure rise of the puffer cylinder or the thermal expansion chamber at current zero. Therefore it's very useful for the designers to know the pressure rise there at the design stage. Much effort has been done to predict the pressure rise in the puffer cylinder or the thermal expansion chamber in no-load condition. Thus, we now calculate it with reasonable accuracy with the simple programs coded by ourselves or with the commercial CFD packages. However, it has been still difficult problem to calculate it under the existence of arc. In this paper, we propose a method which can be used to predict the pressure rise in the thermal expansion chamber of thermal expansion type GCB. The method has been applied to the 25.8kV 25kA thermal expansion type model GCB and the calculated results have been compared with those from experiment.

Insulators contaminated by salt particles may cause flashovers in humid climate or light rain. Therefore, the quantity of salt on insulators should be monitored not to exceed a critical value. We propose a new remote sensing technique to measure the quantity of salt on insulators of power systems.

In this paper, a compact remote on-line salt-meter composed of Q Switch pulsed Nd:YAG laser and emission signal detection system will be introduced. And as the first result of this study, the operating characteristics of our developing laser system is also introduced.

About 20 years have passed since cross-linked polyethylene(XLPE) came into practical use for power transmission cables. In 1969, We were the first to product 33kV XLPE insulated cables, and in 1984 produced XLPE cable for 154kV. To meet the increasing demand for electric power in large cities, and to improve reliability of the power supply, plans are being made to introduce ultrahigh-tension power cable for long distance underground lines in urban areas. Studies are currently under way to develop more than 154kV XLPE cables to meet increasing demand. In this paper presents the progress in the production and design of XLPE cables, and describes ways in which further improvements seems likely.

It was shown that the level of salt contamination measured by the developed device is similar to that measured by the brush cleaning method. Therefore, the developed automatic measuring device can be used in field, in order to predict the cleaning time of insulators and prevent the failure due to the salt contamination.

The PLS 2-GeV linac employs 11 units of high-power pulsed klystrons(80MW) as the main RF sources. The matching modulators of 200 MW(400kV, 500 A) can provide a flat-top pulse width of 4.4 ${\mu}s$ with a maximum pulse repetition rate of 120 Hz at the full power level. For a good stability of electron beams, the pulse-to-pulse flat-top voltage variation of a modulator requires less than 0.5%. In order to achieve this goal, we stabilized high voltage charging power supplies within 1% by a phase controlled SCR voltage regulator. In addition, we employed ac/dc feedback together with a resistive De-Q'ing system to achieve far less than 0.5% variation of the PFN charging voltage. This paper presents the main feature of the klystron-modulator system and the characteristics of the pulsed high-power RF system performance during the beam injection operation for the Pohang Light Source commissioning.

Lightning impulse voltage is essential to evaluate the insulation performance of electric power apparatus. Recently international standard(IEC-60) on high voltage measurement techniques are being revised. In the draft of this standard, a new calibration method is introduced and the accuracy of most industrial measuring systems is maintained by means of comparison test against the reference measuring systems. Intercomparison tests of dividers for lightning impulse measurement were carried out by KERI. The shielded resisitive divider with 700kV rating developed by KERI were done comparison test with PTB divider with 300kV rating which have the similar charateristics as that were circulated among the laboratories. This paper reports on the comparison test results with full lightning impulse voltages from 126kV to 240kV. It is demonstrated that KERI are capable of realizing the idea in the revision of the IEC standand, that is, to establish traceability.

It is well known that the degradation of transformer oil conseqently lead to the failure of transformer. This paper discussed the characteristics of the degradation sensor checking transformer oil condition in live line. The degadation sensor is composed of base ring, electrodes and porous ceramic, passed through the transformer oil and checks the transformer oil condition through sensor's leakage current. So it is important to minimize the leakage current of base ring and connection parts. To investigate the leakage current of base ring and connection parts the characteristics of V-T-I and DC 2 KV and other examinations were performed. It is verified that ionized transformer oil caused by the expansion of temperature increases in the leakage current of porous ceramic sensor. It is certification that the leakage current of other parts of porous ceramic is very small(about 2%) compared with the porous ceramic body and it is confirmed that the leakage current in porous ceramic is changed sensitively according to the new oil(NO) and and the degradation oil(DO).

This paper describes characteristic of ozone Generation by positive streamer corona discharge. Experiments were carried out with needle-plane Electrodes in a pyrex glass tube, in order to in crease the ozone yield.

Some interesting electrochemical characteristics of waterpen point-to-plate airgaps for dc and ac powers have been investigated at room atmosphere in a metal chamber. It is found that the ac discharge on the Pt point generated much ozone, while the negative do discharge on the waterpen point generated the highest ozone. And, the ac discharges of the waterpen point and the Pt point produced a little $NO_x$. But the dc discharge of the Pt point and waterpen point did not generated $NO_x$ anyway. As a result, it could be said that the water on the pen point acts something to generate ozone and $NO_x$ in room atmosphere.

In order to study the structure of RF glow discharge driven at 13.56MHz in argon, the discharge voltage, current and phase shift between them will be measured over a wide range of discharge parameters(gas pressure between 1mTorr and 50mTorr with discharge power between 20mW and 200W). In this paper, the dc glow discharge characteristics and plasma parameters of both FTS and CPMS systems are studied experimentally. It is found that for CPMS system discharge is stablized under wider ranges of magnetic field and pressure than for FTS system. The plasma density and electron temperature of the plasma for these two systems are in the range of $10^{10}{\sim}7{\times}10^{11}[cm^{-3}]$ and $3.5{\sim}6.5$[eV], respectively.

The characteristic of dielectric breakdown in solid insulating material dominates the reliability and safety of power equipment and affects directly to its life. In this point of view, the thickness and temperature dependence of dielectric breakdown strength and mechanism of dielectric breakdown in low density polyethylene which has been employed widely as insulating material have been technically reviewed by examinations of thermal property. The dielectric breakdown strength depending on its thickness was measured 2.6[MV/cm] at the thickness of 20[${\mu}m$] and 1.9[MV/cm] at the thickness of 75[${\mu}m$] based on ambient temperature of 30[$^{\circ}C$]. It is shown the temperature dependence that dielectric breakdown strength decreases in linear as the thickness increases. The dielectric breakdown strength depending on temperature was measured 2.6[MV/cm] at the temperature of 30[$^{\circ}C$], 1.6[MV/cm] at 60[$^{\circ}C$] and 1.3[MV/cm] at 90[$^{\circ}C$] based on the thickness of 20[${\mu}m$]. As the ambient temperature increases, the temperature dependence is shown that a very large drop is occurred up to temperature of 60[$^{\circ}C$] and a very small drop is discovered over 60[$^{\circ}C$].

An electron gun system for the Pohang Light Source has been installed and operated successfully. The basic design parameters are acceleration voltage of 80 kV, maximum peak emission current of 5 A, minimum pulse width of 1 ns, and maximum repetition rate of 100 Hz. The gun has a triode structure and is composed of a cathode, a focusing electrode(Wehnelt), and an anode. To sustain a $5{\times}10^{-9}$Torr vacuum, a $230{\ell}/s$ Ion pump has been adopted. We adopted a control and monitoring system based on the fiber-optic technology. In this article, we present the structure and operation principle of the system with special interest on the nanosecond pulser, remote control and monitoring system.

In the hazardous areas where explosive gases, vapor or mists exist, electrical apparatus and installations must be of explosion-proof construction to prevent or limit the danger of the ignition of potentially explosive atmosphere. In Korea, nine types of protection have been specified in the government regulations at present: flameproof enclosure, pressurization, oil immersion, increased safety, intrinsic safety, non-incendive, sand filling, encapsulation, and special types. Among these types, the intrinsic safety has the construction which limit or by-pass igniting the electric energy using electronic devices. This type has lots of merits but at the same time requires a high-degree of technology. In this paper, we investigated several dominating factors which affect the minimum ignition energy: this energy plays a very important role in design and evaluation of the intrinsic safety type electrical apparatus. Eletrode material, which is one of the most important factors, was intensively studied for the five sorts of material(Al, Cd, Mg, Sn, and Zn) with performing experiment in a low-voltage inductive circuit using IEC-type spark apparatus. The experimental results show that the minimum ignition energy of electrode material is varied: highest in Cd and lowest in Sn. We also confirmed the effect of eletrode make-and-break speed and magnetic field magnitude.

In this paper, we make the fast probe driving circuit system which can complete the measurement of parameters in Magnetoplasma before the plasma changes. In additon, we find that when magnetic field is inclosed, probe characteristics shows a negative characteristics.

This paper investigates the light output characteristics of an electrodeless H-discharge lamp. The existing cylindrical fluorescent lamps were wound around with an induction coil of varying size, and were driven by RF power. The light output and the luminous efficacy were measured according to variations of the induction coil gap and the lamp power, respectively. The experimental results show that the luminous efficacy of the lamp is as much as existing electrodeless lamps and the luminous efficacy of lamps are high between 10W and 20W. Theoretical analyses using computer simulation show that the circuit matching is easier in the external coil configuration than in the internal one, and that the current and the power distributions near the coil are shower in t.

In this paper, argon gas was used for numerical analysis of an arc in a cutting plasma torch driven by constant current. We established nozzle-constricting type torch domain and calculated steady state characteristics of argon arc plasma using the control volume method(CVM). For simplicity, we assumed that the flow field is laminar and the local thermodynamic equilibrium(LTE) prevails in all domain regions. We also neglected cathode-fall and anode-fall effects. Considering magnetic pinch effect and viscosity effect, we solved the momentum equation. Voltage drop in the arc column due to input current was calculated from the temperature field obtained by the energy balance equation.

OLamp is consist of two of low pressure mercury lamps. The important conclusions obtained from this paper are as follows, The more quality of supplied gas(Q) decrease, the higher $O_{3con}$ rise. The more quality of supplied gas(Q) increase, the higher $O_{3g}$ some rise. When supplied oxygen 10[l/min] obtained 4,010[mg/kwh] $O_{3Y}$. The Echerichia coli which is reacted on ozone can be sterilized about 95[%].

A high efficiency ozone generation using both of a electrode-edge discharge and a dielectric-harrier discharge from a modified silent type ozone generator has been proposed and studied for small scale applications. It is found that the output ozone concentration of the proposed generator depended greatly upon the air gap spacing and the applied power frequency and voltage on the ozone generation. The ozone generator showed higher ozone concentration than the same size of the ceramic type surface ozone generator(Masuda type one). And, it is found that the generator had a potential to be used as an ozone generator for small scale applications.

Nickel micro-structures are fabricated by electroless plating which shows better uniformity. Positive resist AZ4562 of 7 um thickness is patterned with minimum width of 2 um on poly-silicon as for sacrificial layer. The growth rate of Ni electroless plating is 10um/h both for the seed layer of Pt and TiW. TiW is found to be more practical than Pt, since it is very difficult to remove Pt with negligible damage to Ni structures.

As the applied voltage grows, the size of the hole increases but the shape is little affected.

The effect of the magnetic flux interference between the driving and detecting unit of the gyroscope by the electromagnetic force has been investigated quantitatively. The key parameter dictating the output characteristics of the gyroscope which is driven and detected using electromagnetic force is the mutual interference between the driving and detecting unit. Using the specially designed apparatus for positioning of the detecting unit, it is found that the vertical positioning of the detecting unit plays a significant role in minimizing the interference effect as evidenced by our experimental results.

We attain a optimal tip whose radius is about $100{\AA}$ after anisotropic etching 2.25 min.+isotropic etching 5 min.+oxidation 1 hour and 23 min.

This paper describes the characteristics of Si Hall sensors fabricated on a SOI(Si-on-insulator} structure, in which the SOI structure was forrmed by SDB(Si-wafer direct bonding) technology. The Hall voltage and the sensitivity of implemented Si Hall devices show good linearity with respect to the applied magnetic flux density and supplied current. The product sensitivity of the SDB SOI Hall device is average $600V/A{\cdot}T$. In the temperature range of 25 to $300^{\circ}C$, the shifts of TCO(Temperature Coefficient of the Offset Voltage) and TCS(Temperature Coefficient of the product Sensitivity) are less than ${\pm}6.7{\times}10^{-3}/^{\circ}C$ and ${\pm}8.2{\times}10^{-4}/^{\circ}C$, respectively. From these results, Si Hall sensors using the SOI structure presented here are very suitable for high-temperature operation.

We designed and fabricated a highly sensitive magnetotransistor which employes the emitter region as a Hall plate for inducing Hall voltage across the emitter. The Hall voltage modulates the emitter basic junction bias on both sides of the emitter so that a large collector current difference is resulted. The specially designed $p^+$ ring around the emitter enhances accumulation of drifted electrons in the emitter and thus the Hall voltage. A relative sensitivity of 240/tesla is measured by operating the device in the saturation mode.

This paper investigates the effect of thermal oxidation on the profile of the residual stress along the depth of p+ silicon films by quantitative determination method. Two examples for the application of this method illustrate that most of p+ region is subjected to the tensile stress except the region near the front surface and that the stress gradient of the film oxidized at $1100^{\circ}C$ is more steep than that of the film oxidized at $1000^{\circ}C$.

We fabricated diode-type silicon field emitter array device and tested the current-voltage characteristics. Silicon oxide layer having the thickness of $1{\mu}m$ is grown in the (100) oriented n-type silicon substrates. Oxide layer is patterned by the mask with $10{\mu}m$ diameter circles. Silicon substrate is then etched using NAF 1 solution to form the sharp tip arrays as an electron source. In the UHV test station, we tested the current-voltage characteristics for the samples. Turn-on voltage was about 140V and maximum emission current was $310{\mu}A$ at 164V. We studied about silicon bonding process for future work, too.

In this study, we confirmed that the crystallinity and the mechanical properties of polycrystalline Silicon(poly-Si) deposited on the poly-oxide are better than those of poly-Si on the conventional sacrificial layers that is CVD oxide layer or PSG. But the etch rate of poly-oxide is poor than that of the CVD oxide layer or PSG. Therefore, to make the best use of small stress and fast etch rate, we fabricated the double oxide layer; 10%-thick poly-oxide on 90%-thick CVD oxide or PSG. To estimate structure deformation by stress, we fabricated the test structures; cantilever. bridge and ring/beam structure and estimated by SEM. As the results, all structure is expressed the deformed structure by residual stress(tensile stress) and the deformation of the structure layer on the double oxide layer is small compared with that of the structure layer on the CVD oxide layer or PSG. And, the etch rate of the double oxide layer is enhanced compared with that of the poly-oxide.
