A self-charging supercapacitor is constructed through simple integration of the energy storage and photo exited materials at the photo electrode. The large band gap of $NiO/Fe_3O_4$ heterostructure generates photo electron at the photo electrode and store the charges through redox mechanism at the counter electrode. Sulfanilic acid azocromotrop/reduced graphene oxide layer at the photo electrode trapped the photo generated hole and store the charge by forming double layer. The solar supercapacitor device is charged within 400 s up to 0.5 V and exhibited a high specific capacitance of ~908 F/g against 1.5 A/g load. The solar illuminated supercapacitor shows a high energy and power density of 33.4 Wh/kg and 385 W/kg along with a very low relaxation time of ~15 ms ensuring the utility of the self charging device in the various field of energy storage and optoelectronic application.

This paper presents a novel application of LCC resonant converter for 60kW EV fast charger and describes development of the high efficiency 60kW EV fast charger. The proposed converter has the advantage of improving the system efficiency especially at the rated load condition because it can reduce the conduction loss by improving the resonance current shape as well as the switching loss by increasing lossless snubber capacitance. Additionally, the simple gate driver circuit suitable for proposed topology is designed. Distinctive features of the proposed converter were analyzed depending on the operation modes and detail design procedure of the 10kW EV fast charger converter module using proposed converter topology were described. The proposed converter and the gate driver were identified through PSpice simulation. The 60kW EV fast charger which generates output voltage ranges from 50V to 500V and maximum 150A of output currents using six parallel operated 10kW converter modules were designed and implemented. Using 60kW fast charger, the charging experiments for three types of high-capacity batteries were performed which have a different charging voltage and current. From the simulation and experimental results, it is verified that the proposed converter topology can be effectively used as main converter topology for EV fast charger.

본 논문에서는 DGS(Defected Ground Structure)에 대한 새로운 등가 회로를 제안하였으며, 이를 IMT-2000용 AB급 대전력 증폭기 설계에 적용하여 증폭기의 성능을 향상시켰다. 새로운 DGS 등가 회로는 병렬의 LC 공진기와 병렬 형태의 캐패시턴스로 구성되어 금속 접지면에 에칭된 결함으로 인한 프린징(fringing) 효과를 반영하도록 하였으며, 전력 증폭기 출 단 정합 회로를 최적화하기 위하여 사용되었다. 이전의 논문에서도 하모닉 성분의 억제와 증폭기의 효율 개선을 위하여 DGS를 사용하였으나 DGS 등가 회로의 해석은 없었으며(1), 본 논문에서는 이를 개선하여 회로 시뮬레이션을 통한 정한 DGS의 등가 회로를 AB급 증폭기의 출력 단 정합회로에 적용함으로써 성능 향상과 함께 증폭기 제작 후에 튜닝이 거의 필요없는 정확한 설계 방법을 제시하였다. 이와 같이 제안된 전력 증폭기의 설계 방법은 정확한 설계 결과를 제공함으로써 최적 부하 조건과 하모닉 성분의 제거 성능을 동시에 만족시킬 수 있었다. 제안된 방법의 효과를 입증하기 위하여 DGS를 적용한 기존의 방법과 새로이 제안된 방법을 사용하여 20W급의 전력 증폭기를 설계 및 제작하였으며, 그 측정 결과를 비교하였다.

본 논문은 정전기력을 이용한 마찰력 변조를 이용하여 손끝을 통한 촉각정보의 입출력을 동시 구현하는 소자를 제안하였다. 기존의 촉각소자들이 촉각정보의 입력 및 출력을 개별적으로 구현한 것에 비해 본 연구는 손끝의 수직/수평 방향 동작 인식과 질감 구현을 동시에 구현하였다는 점에서 차별성을 가진다. 실험분석을 통해 검증한 손끝 동작 인식기능은 수직방향의 클릭의 경우 0.146nF/$40{\mu}m$, 수평방향의 경우 0.09nF/$750{\mu}m$의 정전용량 변화를 통해 인식 가능하였으며, 질감 구현의 경우 정전기적 인력을 통해 마찰력을 32~152mN의 범위에서 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 교류전압을 이용한 수평적 진동은 60V, 3Hz에서 최대 128.1mN의 마찰력 변조를 구현하였으며, 이는 기존 연구 대비 32% 향상을 보여준다. 본 연구는 손끝에서 정보의 입출력을 동시 구현하여 정보기기의 촉각인터페이스에 적용 가능하다.

The piezoelectric energy harvesting characteristics of a trapezoidal cantilever generator with lead zirconate titanate (PZT) laminate were investigated with various Ag inner electrodes. The piezoelectric mode of operation was a transverse mode by using a planar electrode pattern. The piezoelectric cantilever generator was fabricated using trapezoidal cofired-PZT/Ag laminates by five specimens of 2, 3, 4, 7, and 13 layers of Ag. As the number of Ag electrodes increased, impedance and output voltage at resonant frequency significantly decreased, and capacitance and output current showed an increasing tendency. A maximum output power density of $7.60mW/cm^3$ was realized for the specimen with seven Ag layers in the optimal condition of acceleration (1.2 g) and resistive load ($600{\Omega}$), which corresponds to a normalized power factor of $5.28mW/g^2{\cdot}cm^3$.

The composite SiO$_2$/Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$(ONO) film formed by oxidation on nitride film has been widely studied as DRAM stacked capacitor multi-dielectric films. Load lock(L/L) LPCVD system by HF cleaning is used to improve electrical capacitance and to scale down of effective thickness for memory device, but is brings a new problem. Nitride film deposited using HF cleaning shows selective deposition on poly silicon and oxide regions of capacitor. This problem is avoidable by carpeting chemical oxide using $H_2O$$_2$cleaning before nitride deposition. In this paper, we study the limit of nitride thickness for abnormal oxidation and the initial deposition time for nitride deposition dependent on underlayer materials. We proposed an advanced fabrication process for stacked capacitor in order to avoid selective deposition problem and show the usefulness of nitride deposition using L/L LPCVD system by $H_2O$$_2$cleaning. The natural oxide thickness on polysilicon monitor after HF and $H_2O$$_2$cleaning are measured 3~4$\AA$, respectively. Two substrate materials have the different initial nitride deposition times. The initial deposition time for polysilicon is nearly zero, but initial deposition time for oxide is about 60seconds. However the deposition rate is constant after initial deposition time. The limit of nitride thickness for abnormal oxidation under the HF and $H_2O$$_2$cleaning method are 60$\AA$, 48$\AA$, respectively. The results obtained in this study are useful for developing ultra thin nitride fabrication of ONO scaling and for avoiding abnormal oxidation in stacked capacitor application.

Spool displacement of a direction control valve is the standard signal to measure the bandwidth frequency of the direction control valve. When the spool displacement signal is not available, it is suggested in this study to use the metering hydraulic line as an alternative way to measure - 90 degree phase bandwidth frequency of the hydraulic direction control valve. Dynamics of the hydraulic line is composed of inertia, capacitance, and friction effects. The effect of oil inertia is dominant in common hydraulic line dynamics and the line dynamics is close to a derivative action in a range of high frequency; such as a range of bandwidth frequency of common directional control valves. Phase difference between spool displacement and line load pressure is nearly constant as a valve close to 90 degree. If phase difference is compensated from the phase between valve input and pressure, compensated phase may be almost same as the phase of spool displacement that is a standard signal to measure phase bandwidth frequency of the directional control valve. A series of experiments were conducted to examine the possibility of using line pressure in to measure phase bandwidth frequency of a directional control valve. Phase bandwidth frequency could be measured with relatively high precision based on metering hydraulic line technique and it reveals consistent results even when valve input, oil temperature, and supply pressure change.

This paper proposes a practical sliding-mode controller design for shaping the impedances of cascaded boost-converter power decoupling circuits for reducing the second order harmonic ripple in photovoltaic (PV) current. The cascaded double-boost converter, when used as power decoupling circuit, has some advantages in terms of a high step-up voltage-ratio, a small number of switches and a better efficiency when compared to conventional topologies. From these features, it can be seen that this topology is suitable for residential (PV) rooftop systems. However, a robust controller design capable of rejecting double frequency inverter ripple from passing to the (PV) source is a challenge. The design constraints are related to the principle of the impedance-shaping technique to maximize the output impedance of the input-side boost converter, to block the double frequency PV current ripple component, and to prevent it from passing to the source without degrading the system dynamic responses. The design has a small recovery time in the presence of transients with a low overshoot or undershoot. Moreover, the proposed controller ensures that the ripple component swings freely within a voltage-gap between the (PV) and the DC-link voltages by the small capacitance of the auxiliary DC-link for electrolytic-capacitor elimination. The second boost controls the main DC-link voltage tightly within a satisfactory ripple range. The inverter controller performs maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for the input voltage source using ripple correlation control (RCC). The robustness of the proposed control was verified by varying system parameters under different load conditions. Finally, the proposed controller was verified by simulation and experimental results.

유리모세관의 파괴시에 방출되는 탄성파를 이용하여 유리평판의 진앙점에 위치한 PZT변환기의 응답특성을 연구하였다. PZT변환기는 일정한 면적을 가지고 두께가 다른 PZT 세라믹 (Edo사의 EC-65)을 사용하여 제작하였다. 공기 경계층을 갖는 유리평판에서 힘의 크기가 1 N이고 상승시간이 280ns인 경사 점하중이 인가된 경우에 대하여 진앙점에서 수직 성분의 변위와 속도를 이론적으로 계산하였다. PZT변환기의 과도응답은 이론적으로 계산된 수직 성분의 속도가 입사하여 PZT세라믹의 전극과 만날 때 펄스형태로 나타난다고 생각할 수 있다. PZT변환기의 응답은 PZT세라믹의 직경 대 두께의 비가 약 0.33 이하인 경우에는 두께진동모드에만 의존하고, 그 이상의 경우에는 두께진동모드와 다른 저주파수의 진동 모드의 중첩에 의해서 일어난다고 생각된다. 첫 펄스의 반폭치시간은 인가된 파괴하중과 PZT변환기의 공진주파수에 무관하게 약 280ns로서 일정하였고, 음향방출 발생원의 상승시간으로 생각할 수 있었다. 첫 펄스의 최대진폭은 PZT변환기에 입사하는 수직 성분의 속도와 PZT세라믹의 축전용량에 비례하였다. 그러므로, 동일한 PZT변환기에 대하여 음향방출 발생원의 상승시간과 크기는 첫 펄스의 반폭치시간과 최대 진폭으로 평가할 수 있다.
