Emitter injection efficiency of p+/n-buffer Junction with Gaussian impurity distribution is presented. This model takes into account the variation of the carrier lifetime with injection level which allows a unified interpretation of the injection efficiency for all injection level. The injected carrier density and injection efficiency of the anode are calculated as a function of the current density with the low level lifetime as a parameter for different thicknesses of the anode. The analytical results agree well with simulation.

고효율 실리콘 태양전지 개발은 단파장의 광 응답 특성 개선을 위한 선택적 에미터 형성과 반사 손실 개선을 위한 미세 패턴 전극을 형성하는데 집중적인 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 레이저 도핑된 선택적 에미터 위에 미세 패턴 Ni/Cu 도금 전극을 형성하였다. 니켈과 동 도금은 무전해 Light induced plating(LIP)으로 진행하였다. 니켈 도금 전극의 접착력 개선과 접촉저항 개선을 위해서 니켈 전극을 질소 분위기에서 열처리하여 니켈실리사이드(NiSi)를 형성하였다. 니켈 도금 두께와 니켈실리사이드 열처리 조건을 최적화하여 충실도 77.4%, 변환효율 18.5%를 달성하였다.

Wafer thickness of crystalline silicon is an important factor which decides a price of solar cell. PC1D was used to fix a condition that is required to get a high efficiency in a crystalline silicon solar cell using thin wafer($150{\mu}m$). In this simulation, base resistivity and emitter doping concentration were used as variables. As a result of the simulation, $V_{oc}$=0.6338(V), $I_{sc}$=5.565(A), $P_{max}$=2.674(W), FF=0.76 and efficiency 17.516(%) were obtained when emitter doping concentration is $5{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$, depth factor is 0.04 and sheet resistance is $79.76{\Omega}/square$.

High-linearity voltage-controlled current sources (VCCSs) circuits for wide voltage-controlled oscillator and automatic gun control were proposed. The VCCS consists of emitter follower for voltage input, two common-base amplifier which their emitter connected for current output, and current mirror which connected the two amplifier for large output current. The VCCS used only five transistors and a resistor without an extra bias circuit. Simulation results show that the VCCS has current output range from 0mA to 300mA over the control voltage range from 1V to 4.8V at supply voltage 5V. The linearity error of output current has less than $1.4\%$ over the current range from 0A to 300mA.

최근 실리콘(Si) 원재료 가격의 하락으로 인하여, 태양광 시장에서 성능 좋은 저가의 태양광 모듈을 요구하고 있다. 즉, 와트(W)당 낮은 가격의 태양광 모듈을 선호하기 때문에 경쟁력을 갖추기 위하여서는 많은 출력을 낼 수 있는 고효율의 태양전지가 요구된다. 그래서 주목을 받고 있는 것이 N-type 실리콘 기판을 사용한 고효율 태양전지이다. 하지만, n-type Si 기판의 경우, pn 접합의 형성을 위하여서 기존의 열 확산(Thermal diffusion)법에 의한 에미터(Emitter) 형성방법은 양질의 pn접합을 형성하기에는 한계가 있다. 그로 인하여 주목하고 있는 기술이 반도체 공정에서 널리 사용되고 있는 이온 주입(Ion implantation)방식이다. 이 기술은 양질의 에미터 형성을 위하여, 동일한 양의 불순물(dopant) 주입, 정확한 접합 깊이 제어 등이 가능한 방법으로 고효율 태양전지 제작에 필수적이며, 가능한 기술이라고 할 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 어플라이드 머트리얼즈(Applied Materials)사가 보유하고 있는 고효율 태양전지 제작에 필수적인 이온주입방식의 기술과 양산화 가능한 관련장비 등을 소개 하고자 한다.

Active-matrix field emission display (AMFED) based on carbon nanotube (CNT) emitter and amorphous silicon thin-film transistor (a-Si TFT) is reviewed. The AMFED pixels consisted of a high-voltage a-Si TFT and mesh-gated CNT emitters. The developed AMFED panel showed a high performance with a driving voltage of below 15 V. The low-cost and large-area AMFED approach with a metal mesh technology will be discussed.

We present a new way to create a thermally stable, highly strained germanium (Ge) optical resonator using a novel Ge-on-dual-insulators substrate. Instead of using a conventional way to undercut the oxide layer of a Ge-on-single-insulator substrate for inducing tensile strain in germanium, we use thin aluminum oxide as a sacrificial layer. By eliminating the air gap underneath the active germanium layer, we achieve an optically insulating, thermally conductive, and highly strained Ge resonator structure that is critical for a practical germanium laser. Using Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence experiments, we prove that the novel geometry of our Ge resonator structure provides a significant improvement in thermal stability while maintaining good optical confinement.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown on conical tip substrates by using various methods such as electrophoretic deposition, dip-coating, and spray. The scanning electron microscope measurement showed that the spray method ascertained the most uniform deposition of CNTs. The CNT-emitter that was fabricated by the spray method revealed the lowest turn on voltage of electron emission and the highest emission current. In addition, the spray-produced CNT emitter showed the most stable long-term emission characteristics.

Tip-type carbon nanotube(CNT) based electron emitters were fabricated by forming a hafnium(Hf) interlayer between the CNT and the substrate. The CNTs were deposited by using the electrophoretic deposition method and thermally treated. No significant change in the microscopic structure of the CNTs, such as the ratio of length to diameter, was observed after the deposition of Hf interlayer and thermal treatment. As compared with the CNT emitter without the Hf-interlayer and thermal treatment, the CNT emitter with the Hf-interlayer and thermal treatment showed noticeably improved electron-emission properties due to the enhanced adhesion.

Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) have many application points, which are field emission devices, composites, hydrogen storage, nanodevices, supercapacitor and secondary battery. The most promising application point is emitter tip mays of field emission devices. Furthermore, it may be also useful as a vacuum device for high frequency and high power. But, there are some obstacles to fabricate carbon nanotube field emission device. One is that CNTs grown by CVD method has weak adhesion with substrate and the other is non-uniform length of them. These problems are very crucial in aging property and reliability of device in the field emission.
