Large‐Scale Applications of Plasma Technologies: Progresses and Challenges

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasma technologies convert electrical power into energetic electrons, ions, reactive species, radiation and heat, thereby breaking through the bottleneck of purely thermal or chemical routes and bringing impressive changes to our world. This roadmap reviews the progress and challenges of plasma technologies from a large‐scale and application ...

Microscopic Stress Analysis of Silicon Carbide Devices Under Overcurrent Conditions in DC Solid‐State Circuit Breakers

open access: yesIET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
A coupled Saber–TCAD–thermo‐mechanical simulation framework is proposed to evaluate microscopic stresses in SiC MOSFETs under overcurrent operation. Ultrahigh gate‐voltage driving reduces thermal and mechanical stress but increases gate oxide electric‐field stress, revealing a reliability tradeoff for DC solid‐state circuit breakers.

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

open access: yesWater and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.

Deep X-ray lithography using mask with integrated electrothermal actuator

open access: yes, 2005
We present a deep X-ray mask with integrated bent-beam electrothermal actuator for the fabrication of 3D microstructures with curved surface. The mask absorber is electroplated on the shuttle mass, which is supported by a pair of 20-mu m-thick single ...

A low-power-consumption out-of-Plane electrothermal actuator

open access: yes
This paper proposes a new vertical electrothermal actuator. It can be considered as a hybrid between the traditional in-plane buckle-beam actuator and the vertical hot-cold actuator. It is here referred to as vertical buckle beam.

Single Mask and Large Amplification Electrothermal Microgripper

open access: yesShock and Vibration
The paper presents a new electrothermal microgripper with a large amplification ratio and a single photo mask. This microgripper is designed with the 40-μm-stroke, which is 3.33 times larger than displacement of the driving V-shaped actuator.
