Full bridge topology utilizing silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) along with a step-up transformer has been realized for the development of the HV-BIG system. Sectionalized windings were designed to realize the primary and secondary winding of high-voltage transformers. The fabricated high-voltage transformer features a uniform distribution of the primary and secondary windings to minimize leakage inductance. A control algorithm has been implemented to generate 180° phase-shifted gating pulses with suitable pulse repetition frequency and pulsewidth for the full bridge converter. The developed laboratory prototype of the HV-BIG system was experimentally verified with the DBD-based Krypton/Chlorine (Kr/Cl2) excilamp to generate 222 nm radiation with output pulse voltage ranging from ±2.85 to ±8.25 kV.

The new type of ambipolar diffusion caused by inertia of ions and electrons had been investigated, and the processes of ambipolar diffusion in plasma had been classified. Three main types of ambipolar diffusion had been compared; they are: 1) Schottky’s diffusion (caused by higher electrons mobility and temperature than ions mobility and temperature); 2) Vysikaylo-Poisson’s diffusion (caused by the disturbance of electrical neutrality of plasma); and 3) Vysikaylo-Euler’s diffusion (caused by the inertia of ions and electrons). The coefficients of all diffusions had been calculated, and dependences on main plasma parameters had been determined. In accordance with the classification of ambipolar diffusions, jumps (shock waves) of the main plasma parameters were divided into shock waves with violation of the electrical neutrality of the plasma (Vysikaylo-Poisson) and diffusion shocks, which, in turn, were divided into Vysikaylo-Euler’s shocks and classical Schottky’s shocks. The modification of sources and sinks of charged particles was investigated by taking into account the electrons diffusion in the total current in the plasma.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141865619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, this form of excitation voltage is difficult to generate for a DBD lamp in the existing power supplies. To address this issue, a new high-voltage high-frequency converter for a DBD lamp is proposed. The high-frequency bipolar pulse excitation voltage is achieved with two symmetrical resonant circuits. The width of the pulse can be adjusted by changing the value of the resonant capacitance. The duration of the idle time can be altered by changing the operating frequency or the value of the resonant capacitances. The oscillation of the excitation voltage can be suppressed effectively by the unidirectional conductivity of the diodes. Besides the above-mentioned characteristics, the proposed converter possesses the advantages of simple structure and convenient control. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed converter is verified with an experimental prototype.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141865623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
