This paper discribes a study on the switching character of MOS-GTO and the design of gate drive circuit. Chopping power supply converter, synchronious and asyncronious motor speed adjustment, inverter, etc., needs low drive energy "high frequency" switches. To fulfill these need, switches must have rapid switching time and insulated gate control. MOS-GTO structure is well suited to these constraints. The power switch is serial installation of a GTO thyrister and a MOS Transistor. The gate of the GTO is linked to positive pole of the cascode structure via a MOS high voltage transistor and ground via a transient absorber diode. This high performance MOS-GTO assembly considerably increases the strength which facilitate the drive of GTO thyristers.

This paper deals with the development of IGBT stacks for cost reduction. One stack is consist of 4 IGBTS in parallel. In the high- and mid-power converters, IGBT stacks are more suitable than single IGBTS in the aspects of total cost of semiconductor devices, time for purchasing, maintenance, radiation of heat, size of surge absorber and harmonic filter, frequency characteristics, and etc.. Problems accompanied by parallel construction are studied and solved. Economical efficiency is discussed and field tests with 100kVA UPS are tarried out to verify the validity of the developed IGBT stacks.

Optimizing morphology of the front surface with three dimensional structures (3D) in solar cell is essential element for not only effectivelight harvesting but also carrier collection and separation without the cost burden in process. We designed a three-dimensionally ordered front surface with wet chemical etching. Wet chemical etching is a proper way to have three dimensional structures. The method efficiently transmits the incident light at the front surface to a Si absorber and has competitive price in manufacturing when comparing with reactive ion etching (RIE) to have three dimensional structures. This indicates that optimized front surface with three dimensional structures by wet chemical etching will bring effective light management in solar cells.

This study puts focus on the optimization of growth temperature of CIGS absorber layer which affects severely the performance of solar cells. The CIGS absorber layers were prepared by three-stage co-evaporation of metal elements in the order of In-Ga-Se. The effect of the growth temperature of 1st stage was found not to be so important, and 350$^{\circ}C$ to be the lowest optimum temperature. In the case of growth temperature at 2nd/3rd stage, the optimum temperature was revealed to be 550$^{\circ}C$. The XRD results of CIGS films showed a strong (112) preferred orientation and the Raman spectra of CIGS films showed only the Al mode peak at 173cm$\^$-1/. Scanning electron microscopy results revealed very small grains at 2nd/3rd stage growth temperature of 480$^{\circ}C$. At higher temperatures, the grain size increased together with a reduction in the number of the voids. The optimization of experimental parameters above mentioned, through the repeated fabrication and characterization of unit layers and devices, led to the highest conversion efficiency of 15.4% from CIGS-based thin film solar cell with a structure of Al/ZnO/CdS/CIGS/Mo/glass.

TiNOx multi-layer thin films on aluminum substrates were prepared by DC reactive magnetron sputtering method. 4 multi-layers of $TiO_2$/TiNOx(LMVF)/TiNOx(HMVF)/Ti/substrate have been prepared with ratio of Ar and ($N_2+O_2$) gas mixture. $TiO_2$ of top layer is anti-reflection layer on double TiNOx(LMVF)/TiNOx(HMVF) layers and Ti metal of infrared reflection layer. In this study, the crystallinity and surface properties of TiNOx thin films were estimated by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), respectively. The grain size of TiNOx thin films shows to increase with increasing sputtering power. The composition of thin films has been investigated using electron probe microanalysis(EPMA). The optical properties with wavelength spectrum were recorded by UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry at a range of 200~1,500 nm. The TiNOx multi-layer films show the excellent optical performance beyond 9% of reflectance in those ranges wavelength.

In this paper, the durability of an electromagnetic metamaterial absorber is verified in a temperature varying condition mimicking a maritime environment for the purpose of applying it to reduce the radar cross section of an integrated mast of the next-generation destroyer. To validate the durability, the reflectance of the electromagnetic metamaterial absorber was measured after storing it in a chamber that can control the temperature according to Procedure I of Method 501.7 included in MIL-STD-810H. Before and after the environmental test, both of the measured reflectances were retained less than -10 dB over the X band, that can guarantee the stealth functionality.

In this paper, the permeability ($\mu_{\tau}'$, $\mu_{\tau}''$), dielectric constants($\varepsilon_{\tau}'$, $\varepsilon_{\tau}''$) and absorbption characteristics of Ferrite/Rubber 0-3 composites were investigated. The composite specimens were prepared by molding and curing the mixtures of matrix rubber and Ni-Zn ferrite powders which were synthesized by wet-direct method. The permeability ($u_{\tau}'$) of specimen was decreased from 2.58 to 0.7 in the range of 1$\sim$7(GHz) and kept constant 0.7$\sim$0.8 at higher than 7(GHz), the higher the frequency was, the less the valves of $u_{\tau}"$ was from 1.57 to 0.03. The optimum thickness of microwave absorber, utilizing the Smith chart, was 5(mm). The reflection loss shows over than 20(dB) from 5.5(GHz) to 7.5(GHz) at 5(mm) thickness and relative band width(B/fm) was about 30%.

The effect of Na on the structural and electrical properties of CIGS films were studied and their effects on the CIGS/Mo thin film solar cells were investigated. Soda-lime glass and Corning glass were used as substrates to compare the effect of Na diffusion into CIGS film. The resistivity of CIGS films was not changed in the Cu-poor region due to diffusion of Na from soda-lime glass but was mainly determined by the surface resitivity controlled by excess Na.

In this paper, we studied the relation between addition of carbon and electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite. The ratio of carbon was 7 wt%. As s result, it has been shown that the electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite are changed by the addition of carbon in composite. And, we can control electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite by the using of carbon.
