신뢰성 보증을 위한 인증시험(reliability qualification test)이나 수락시험(reliability acceptance test)에 있어서 가장 널리 사용되는 시험방식 중의 하나가 무고장 시험방식(zero-failure test)이다. 무고장 시험방식이 선호되는 이유는 요구수명을 주어진 신뢰수준으로 보장하는 시험방식들 중에서 적용이 비교적 수월하며 상대적으로 시험기간이나 시료수를 줄일 수 있다는 점 때문이다. 그러나 무고장 시험의 경우, 시험을 의뢰하는 입장에서는 고장이 하나라도 발생하면 불합격 된다는 부담감을 가질 수 있으며 생산자 위험이 커진다는 단점도 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 보완한 2단계 시험방식을 설계, 제안하고 시험시간, OC곡선 등 시험방식의 특성을 무고장 시험방식과 비교, 분석하였다.

Sampling inspection methods for quality control have been proposed a lot in the industry. However, the sampling inspection method for reliability, which is a quality over time, has been relatively less presented, and there are not many literatures that are clearly summarized. Therefore, this paper focuses on the reliability conformity test to verify that the reliability evaluation scale value of the target is satisfied during the reliability test. To this end, first, we look at the conditions that both consumers and producers can satisfy in terms of the OC curve and find out what sampling methods satisfy the desired level of producer risk and consumer risk. Next, two methods of the reliability sampling methods such as attribute and variable reliability sampling methods are examined. Specifically, the attribute reliability sampling method is a form of sampling plan where n samples are tested for a certain period of T hours and the lot is accepted if the number of failures is less than or equal to a certain number c. On the other hand, the variable reliability sampling method is a form of sampling plan where the lot is accepted if the reliability evaluation scale such as MTBF satisfies a certain standard. Both sampling plans may also use inspection tables.

In order to investigate an influence of carrier trap by quantum dots (QDs) on the solar parameters, in this study, the $p^+-QD-n/n^+$ solar cells with InAs/GaAs QD active layers are fabricated, and their characteristics are investigated and compared with those of a GaAs matrix solar cell (MSC). Two different types of QD structures, the Stranski-Krastanow (SK) QD and the quasi-monolayer (QML) QD, have been introduced for the QD solar cells, and the parameters (open-circuit voltage ($V_{OC}$), short-cirucuit current ($I_{SC}$), fill factor (FF), conversion efficiency (CE)) are determined from the current-voltage characteristic curves under a standard solar illumination (AM1.5). In SK-QSC, while FF of 80.0% is similar to that of MSC (80.3%), $V_{OC}$ and $J_{SC}$ are reduced by 0.03 V and $2.6mA/cm^2$, respectively. CE is lowered by 2.6% as results of reduced $V_{OC}$ and $J_{SC}$, which is due to a carrier trap into QDs. Though another alternative structure of QML-QD to be expected to relieve the carrier trap have been firstly tried for QSC in this study, it shows negative results contrary to our expectations.

Here, we have studied the effect of water added electrolyte on the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). It was found that open-circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$) increased and short-circuit current density ($j_{sc}$) decreased with the increase of the amount of added water in the electrolyte of the DSSCs. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) study showed that the electrolyte with added water shifted the dye loaded $TiO_2$ conduction band upward that eventually increased $V_{oc}$ of the cells. On the other hand, the upward shift of $TiO_2$ conduction band decreased the driving force for the electron injection from the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the dye molecules to the conduction band of $TiO_2$ that resulted in decreased $j_{sc}$.

The composites in the system aluminium titanate-mullite were synthesized by stepwise alkoxide hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate, Si(OCLH5), and titaniumtetraethoxide, $Ti(OC_{2}H_{5})_4$ in $Al_{2}O_{3}$ ethanolic colloidal solution. All particles produced by sol-gel-process were amorphous, monodispesed and had a narrow particle size distribution. Sintered bodies at $1600 ^{\circ}C$ for 2h were subjected to prolonged durability tests-on the one hand annealing at the critical decomposition temperature of $1100 ^{\circ}C$ for lOOh and on the other cyclic thermal shock between 750 and $1400 ^{\circ}C$ for 100h. The best thermal durability was achieved by a composition containing 70 and 80 vol% aluminium titanate, which showed little change in microstructure and thermal expansion cycles during the tests. The microstructural degradation of samples studied using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and dilatometry, was presented here. The study was conducted in order to predict the service life of aluminium titanate-mullite ceramics formed by this processing route.

Two types of organic thin film solar cell devices with bulk hetero-junction (BHJ) structure were fabricated on plastic substrates using conjugated polymers of $PCDTBT:PC_{71}BM$ and $PTB7:PC_{71}BM$ blended as active channel layer. Time-variant characteristics of the organic thin film solar cell devices were investigated: short circuit current density ($J_{SC}$); open circuit voltage ($V_{OC}$); ; fill factor (FF); power conversion efficiency (PCE, ŋ). All the performance parameters were degraded by progress of the measurement time, while $V_{OC}$ showed the most drastic decrease with time. Possible factors to cause the time-variant alteration of performance parameters were discussed to be clarified.

PV cell model은 PV simulator를 제작하거나 시뮬레이션 Software를 통하여 PV 발전시스템을 분석하기 위하여 필요하다. PV cell의 I-V 특성곡선은 PV cell의 특성을 결정짓는 중요한 요소이며, 전기적으로 다이오드정수($I_o$, $v_t$)와 광전류원($I_{ph}$) 그리고 직렬저항($R_s$) 및 션트저항($R_{sh}$)으로 모델링 가능하다. 광 전류원은 일사량에 비례하여 그 값을 추정할 수 있으나 나머지 변수인 다이오드정수($I_o$, $v_t$)와 직렬저항($R_s$) 및 션트저항($R_{sh}$)은 제조사 데이터시트에서 제공하는 3개의 대표적인 운전점인 개방회로 전압($V_{oc}$), 단락회로 전류($I_{sc}$), 그리고 최대출력에서의 전압/전류($V_{MPP}/I_{MPP}$)를 기초로 수학적으로 해를 구하여야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 저자가 제안하는 K-알고리즘의 수학적 도출 과정과 수치해석적 특성을 고찰한다.

In this paper, organic solar cells(OSCs) based on bulk-heterojunction structures were fabricated by spin coating method using polymer P3HT and fullerene PCBM as a photoactive layer. The fabricated OSCs had a simple glass/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM/Al structures. The photoactive layer of mixed P3HT:PCBM was formed with 1:1 weight ratio. The hole transport layer(HTL) was used conducting polymer PEDOT:PSS concentration with gold nanoparticles. The annealing temperature and concentration of nanoparticles in HTL were verified to improve the OSC characterization. The percentage of gold nanoparticles in HTL were 0.5 wt% and 1.0 wt%, and the surface morphology, electrical properties and absorption intensities were investigated. The devices were 0.5 wt%, and the highest 3.1% of the powder conversion efficiency(PCE), 10.2 $mA/cm^2$ of the maximum short circuit current density($J_{SC}$), 0.535V of the open circuit voltage($V_{OC}$) and 55.8% of the fill factor(F.F) could be obtained when the nanoparticle concertration was 0.5 wt%. The annealing temperature of HTL was $110^{\circ}C$, $130^{\circ}C$, $150^{\circ}C$ in vacuum oven and measured the absorption intensities, surface morphology, crystallinity and electrical properties were investigated. The best property was obtained in HTL annealed at $130^{\circ}C$ for gold nanoparticles of 0.5 wt%, showing that $J_{SC}$, $V_{OC}$, F.F and PCE were about 12.0 $mA/cm^2$, 0.525V, 64.2% and 4.0%, respectively.
