The effect of surface recombination current density on the saturation current density in Si solar cell has been studied. Theoretical model for surface recombination current was set up from emitter transparent model of M.A. Shibib, and saturation current of Si solar cell made by ion implantation method was also measured by digital electrometer. The theoretical surface recombination current density which is the same as saturation surface recombination current density in Shibib model was $10^{-11}[A/cm^2]$ and the measured value was ranged from $8{\times}10^{-10}$ to $2{\times}10^{-9}[A/cm^2]$. Comparing with the ideal p-n junction of Shockley, transparent emitter model shows improved result by $10^2$ order of saturation current density. But there still exists $10^2$ order of difference of saturation current density between theoretical and actual values, which are assumed to be caused by 1) leakage current through solar cell edge, 2) recombination of carriers in the depletion layer, 3) the series resistance effect and 4) the tunneling of carriers between states in the band gap.

In ECR and helicon reactors for plasma processing, a high density plasma is generated in a source region which is connected to a diffusion region where the processing takes place. Large density and potential gradients can develop at the orifice of the source which drive ion currents into the diffusion region. The average ion velocity may become the order of the sound velocity. Measurements of the ion saturation current to a Langmuir probe are used as a standard method of determining the plasma density in laboratory discharges. However, the analysis becomes difficult in a steaming plasma. We have used the HAMLET plasma simulator to simulate the ion flow to a large langmuir probe in an ECR plasma. The collection surface was aligned with the Held upstream, normal to the field, and downstream. ion trajectories through the electric and magnetic fields were calculated including ion-neutral collisions. We examines the ratio of ion current density to plasma density as a function of magnetic field and pressure.

We introduce a novel fast-reciprocating probe head installed on the EAST (Experiment Advanced Superconducting Tokamak) containing 12 graphite tips. This allows us to measure a variety of plasma parameters such as the plasma density, temperature, and space potential in the scrape-off layer (SOL). We will also acquire the data at high frequency thus measuring the ion saturation current, I_sat, and the floating potential, V_f, average and fluctuating values. Moreover, with poloidally separated tips, we measure the poloidal electric field, E_θ, at two toroidal locations, assuming a plasma flow dominated by the E×B drift this leads to the determination of the radial velocity. As a consequence, the turbulent radial flux will thus be determined. In the parallel direction, we have four tips that are aligned parallel with the magnetic field lines, thus making an angle of 4°24' to the horizontal direction. This unique design should allow the measurement of the toroidal wavenumber, k_φ, a quantity rarely obtained in tokamaks. This new probe, with 7 tips for measuring the ion saturation current and 4 tips to measure the floating potentials, was used on the EAST during the 2023 summer campaign. We present the first experimental results obtained during an L-mode plasma.

Negative ions are generated in fusion edge plasmas, material processing plasmas, ionospheric plasmas. Analytic formulas for the deduction of the absolute density of negative ions was given by using the current-voltage(IV) characteristics of two electric probes at two different pressures [1], and negative ion density has been measured by one electric probe using the current-voltage characteristics of three different pressures [2]. Ratios of ion and electron saturation currents and electron temperatures and sheath areas of different pressures are usually incorporated into two equations with two unknowns for the negative ion density. In the previous publications, the sheath factor(sheath area, sheath density, sheath velocity) and effective masses of background ions with different pressures are qualitatively incorporated for the deduction of negative density. In this presentation, the quantitative and detailed relation of negative ion density with sheath factor and effective masses are going to be given. The effect of these parameters on the change of IV characteristics will be addressed.

정전 탐침을 이용하여 유도 결합형 반응기에서 발생하는 산소 플라즈마의 음이온 발생 특성을 관찰하였다. 입력전력과 운전압력 조건에 따른 산소 플라즈마에서 electronegative 음이온 플라즈마의 입력전력과 운전압력에 따른 정전 탐침에 흐르는 포화 양 전류 대 포화 음 전류(전자 전류와 음 이온 전류의 합)의 전류 비율과 플라즈마 부유 전위와 플라즈마 전위 차의 변화로부터 음이온 발생 특성관찰을 하였다. 전류비의 증가와 전위차 값의 감소는 입력전력이 증가함에 따라 약 30∼60 mTorr 운전압력 영역에서 나타났으며 이 조건에서 음이온의 발생량이 증가함을 의미하고, 플라즈마내의 이온들은 음이온과 재결합에 의한 손실이 증가하여 플라즈마 밀도가 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

The measurement of electric current using optical techniques provides a number of important practical advantages including effective isolation from high line potentials and freedom from the saturation effects observed in conventional current transformers. In this work the optical current sensor which uses thin YIG(Yittrium Ion Garnet) film as a Faraday element has been developed. We have characterized this optical current sensor and implemented it to the OOCR(Opto-electronic OverCurrent Realy) Performance of the OOCR shows the possibility of replacing the present overcurrent relays with OOCR.

A shallow n+ layer of implanted phosphorus was used to lower the barrier height of PtSinSi schottky diodes. The reduction of barrier height of the forward turn-on voltages from 400mV to 180mV of the forward was followed by implantation of phosphorus at 35KeV with an ion dose of 8.0x10**12 atoms/cm\ulcornerand was activated at 925\ulcorner for 30min in dry O2. The test result showed that, as the ion-implanted dose increased, the forward turn-on voltage and reverse breakdown voltage were linearly decreased, but the saturation current and ideality factor(n) were linearly increased.

A multi-megawatt long pulse ion source (LPIS) of neutral beam injector was developed for the KSTAR. Beam extraction experiments of the LPIS were carried out at the neutral beam test stand (NBTS). Design requirements for the ion source were 120 kV/65 A deuterium beam and a 300 s pulse length. A maximum ion density of $9.1310^{11}$ $cm^{-3}$ was measured by using electric probes, and an optimum arc efficiency of 0.46 A/kW was estimated with ion saturation current of the probes, arc power, and total beam area. An arcing problem, caused by the structural defect of decelerating grid supporter, in the third gap was solved by the blocking of backstream ion particles, originated from the plasma in the neutralizer duct, through the unnecessary spaces on the side of grid supporter. A maximum drain power of 1.5 MW (i.e. 70 kV/21 A) with hydrogen was measured for a pulse duration of 0.5 s. Optimum beam perveance was ranged from 0.75 to 0.85. An improved design of accelerator for the effective control of beam particle trajectory should provide higher beam perveance.
