A submicron contact scheme using $WN_x$ diffusion barrier has been suggested for multilevel interconnect structure. The contact resistance of $0.4\times0.48\mu\textrm{m}^2$ size Al/WN/Ti/$n^+$-Si is 120-140 $\Omega$ and the leakage current density is below than $10^{-16}$$-10^{-15}A/\mu\textrm{m}^2$. The effect of F atoms on the submicron contact has been investigated with the nuclear resonance analysis method.

Three-level diode clamped multilevel inverter, generally known as neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter, has an inherent problem causing neutral point (NP) potential variation. Until now, the NP potential problem of variation has been investigated and lots of solutions have also been proposed. This paper presents a neutral point voltage control technology using the anti-windup PI controller and offset technology of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to control the variation of NPC 3-phase three-level inverter neutral point voltage. And the proposed algorithm is tested and verified using a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) in order to synchronize the phase voltage from the line voltage of grid. It significantly improves the voltage balancing under a solar fluctuation conditions of the inverter. Experimental results show the good performance and effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper introduces an approach to detect motion areas of stationary objects when the camera slightly moves in the scene by computing optical flow. The flow field is computed by two pyramidal architectures of 5 levels which are built by down-sampling the size of the images by half at each level. Two pyramids of images are built and then optical flow is computed at each level. A warping process combines the information and generates a final flow field after applying edge smoothness and outliers reduction steps. Moreover, we convert the flow vectors in order of magnitude and angle to a color map using a pseudo-color palette. Experimental results in the Middlebury optical flow dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our method compared to other approaches.

This paper presents a simple modified unipolar carrier-based pulsewidth modulation (CB-PWM) strategy for the three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) voltage source inverter (VSI). Analytical expressions for the relationship between modulation reference signals and output voltages are derived. The proposed modulation technique for the three-level NPC VSI includes the maximum and minimum of the three-phase sinusoidal reference voltages with zero-sequence voltage injection concept. The proposed modified CB-PWM strategy incorporates a novel method that requires only of one triangular carrier wave for generate the gating pulses in three-level NPC VSI. It has the advantages of being simplifying the algorithm with no need of complex two/multi-carrier pulsewidth modulation or space vector modulation (SVM) and it's also simple to implement. The possibility of the proposed CB-PWM technique has been verified though computer simulation and experimental results.

멀티레벨 인버터에 널리 사용되는 Phase Shifted PWM은 셀 간의 동일한 전력 분배가 가능하나 각 셀 carrier의 위상차이로 인해 무부하 운전시 특정 셀에 회생이 발생하고, 지령 전압과 실제 전압의 위상차가 발생하는 단점이 있다. Level Shifted PWM을 통해 이와 같은 단점을 보완할 수 있으나, 각 셀의 스위칭 패턴이 모두 달라 전력 분배가 동일하게 이루어 지지 않는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 Level Shifted PWM 방법을 개선하여 각 셀의 스위칭 패턴을 순환시켜 셀 간 동일한 전력분배가 이루어지도록 하였고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 검증하였다.

Acceleration/preconditioning strategies available in the SCEPTRE radiation transport code are described. A flexible transport synthetic acceleration (TSA) algorithm that uses a low-order discrete-ordinates ($S_N$) or spherical-harmonics ($P_N$) solve to accelerate convergence of a high-order $S_N$ source-iteration (SI) solve is described. Convergence of the low-order solves can be further accelerated by applying off-the-shelf incomplete-factorization or algebraic-multigrid methods. Also available is an algorithm that uses a generalized minimum residual (GMRES) iterative method rather than SI for convergence, using a parallel sweep-based solver to build up a Krylov subspace. TSA has been applied as a preconditioner to accelerate the convergence of the GMRES iterations. The methods are applied to several problems involving electron transport and problems with artificial cross sections with large scattering ratios. These methods were compared and evaluated by considering material discontinuities and scattering anisotropy. Observed accelerations obtained are highly problem dependent, but speedup factors around 10 have been observed in typical applications.

Learning and analyzing 3D point clouds with deep networks is challenging due to the limited and irregularity of the data. In this paper, we present a data-driven point cloud augmentation technique. The key idea is to learn multilevel features per point and to reconstruct to a similar point set. Our network is applied to a projection loss function that encourages the predicted points to remain on the geometric shapes with a particular target. We conduct various experiments using ShapeNet part data to evaluate our method and demonstrate its possibility. Results show that our generated points have a similar shape and are located closer to the object.

This paper proposes a new power flow control method for soft-switched, four channel, five level resonant buck dc-dc converters. These converters have two input channels, which can be supplied from sources with identical or different voltages, and four output channels with arbitrary output voltages. They are specially designed to supply multilevel inverters. The design methodology for their power flow control has been developed considering a general case when the input voltages, output voltages and loads can be asymmetrical. A special emphasize is paid to the limitations and restrictions of operation. The theoretical studies are confirmed by numerical simulations and laboratory tests carried out at various operation points. Exploiting the advantages of the newly proposed power control strategy, the converter can supply five level inverters in dc microgrids, active filters, power factor correctors and electric drives. They can also play an interfacing role in renewable energy systems.

Dealing with the DC link fault poses a technical problem for an HVDC based on a modular multilevel converter. The fault suppressing mechanisms of several sub-module topologies with DC fault current blocking capacity are examined in this paper. An improved half-bridge sub-module topology with double direction control switch is also designed to address the additional power consumption problem, and a sub-module topology called hybrid double direction blocking sub module (HDDBSM) is proposed. The DC fault suppression characteristics and sub-module capacitor voltage balance problem is also analyzed, and a self-startup method is designed according to the number of capacitors. The simulation model in PSCAD/EMTDC is built to verify the self-startup process and the DC link fault suppression features.

본 논문에서는 모듈러 멀티레벨 컨버터(Modular Multilevel Converter, MMC) 고압직류송전(High Voltage Direct Current, HVDC)의 전도 손실 계산을 위한 반도체 스위치 V-I 특성 곡선 근사 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 V-I 특성 곡선은 정격 전류 구간에 대해서만 선형화하여 사용하지만, MMC HVDC의 경우 암 전류의 직류 오프셋에 의해 V-I 특성 곡선의 비선형 구간에서 손실 계산에 오차가 크게 나타난다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 암 전류의 부호에 따라 별도의 V-I 특성 곡선 근사를 적용하여 MMC HVDC의 전도 손실 계산의 정확성을 향상하는 방안을 제안한다. 전도 손실 계산 결과는 PSCAD 시뮬레이션으로 취득한 손실 값과 비교하여 결과를 검증하였다.
