چکیده

In this article, starting from a calculation of the internal conductance inside AC and DC plasma display panels ~PDPs!, a simple theoretical model is used to estimate the pressure evolution inside a display during the exhausting process and the lifetime. All the values obtained are then compared to the results of specific measurements carried out on real PDPs. Based on these data, the role of a getter inside PDPs and possible getter configurations are discussed. According to the model proposed, the placement of nonevaporable getters ~NEGs! inside the panel in a suitable arrangement is shown to improve the quality of the devices. A NEG can, in fact, act as an in situ pump during the production process ~reducing the exhausting time! as well as a gas purifier during the life of the PDP ~sorbing the outgassed species!. © 1998 American Vacuum Society. @S0734-2101~98!56003-4#

Experiments with Lithium Gettering in T-10 Tokamak

The two experimental campaign with lithium gettering of the T-10 chamber were carried out. The experiments were aimed to prove the lithium abilities to obtain high performance discharges with lithium cover of the wall and limiters with reduced recycling of the working gas and the impurities level in ohmic and heated with the high ECR power tokamak discharges. The second goal of the T-10 experim...

Study of internal versus external gettering of iron during slow cooling processes for silicon solar cell fabrication

The effect of slow cooling after different high temperature treatments on the interstitial iron concentration and on the electron lifetime of p-type mc-Si wafers has been investigated. The respective impacts of internal relaxation gettering and external segregation gettering of metal impurities during an extended phosphorous diffusion gettering are studied. It is shown that the enhanced reducti...

Operation of a Coplanar - Electrode Plasma Display Panel Cell

Plasma display panels (PDP’s) are composed of miniature gas discharge devices sustained in noble gas mixtures. In this paper, the dynamics of a coplanar-electrode PDP cell are described using results from a two-dimensional computer simulation. During the first voltage pulse, the discharge takes place between the top and bottom electrodes. Due to charging of the bottom dielectric during the firs...

Modeling nonthermal plasmas generated in glow discharges*

Over the past decade, tremendous progress has been made in the modeling of nonthermal plasmas, and models have now reached the point that they are being used to help guide the experimental optimization of plasma based devices. In this communication we provide an overview of models used to describe nonthermal plasma generated in glow discharges. We show results from two applications, plasma disp...
