Process Hardware for heating, etching and plasma deposition in vacuum processes on Silicon wafers or glass substrates face challenging requirements due to very shallow and extended structures. Molecular Flow calculations are used to evaluate staggered shields with the aim to protect ... En savoir plus
Plasma, a complex fluid consisting of electrons, ions, neutrals, and excited species, exhibits both fluid-like behavior and electrical conductivity due to the presence of charge carriers. Consequently, computational modeling of plasma requires the integration of fluid and electrical ... En savoir plus
The simplicity, reliability and low costs of electro-mechanical breakers have made them the workhorse for the interruption of low voltage short-circuit currents. In the presence of a short circuit, the contacts of the breaker heat up, and a bridge of molten metal forms between the pair ... En savoir plus
This work, which is done in the framework of the SisAl Pilot EU project, presents the use of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software for simulating an ensemble averaged electric arc in a laboratory-scale electric arc furnace. The SisAl Pilot project aims at optimising the silicon production in ... En savoir plus
Europeans spend between 80% to 90% of their time indoors, for example at home, school, office, and other public buildings. Besides, due to energy-saving measures in buildings, natural ventilation is reduced leading to the accumulation of indoor air pollutants. Consequently, indoor air ... En savoir plus
Increasing energy demands in society have led to intensive fossil fuel usage, resulting in increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, one of the most significant greenhouse gases and major contributors to global warming. Considerable efforts have been made towards CO2 capture, storage, ... En savoir plus
Nowadays, surge protection devices are widely used in electrical grids to suppress over voltages during transient conditions caused by voltage surges and to prevent damages of industrial or household devices. The working principle is based on the initiation of an arc with a burning ... En savoir plus
Used for welding, cutting, deposition by projection, for the treatement of waste, or in analysis for ICP torches, for the synthesis of high purity silica or for the manufacture of nanometric powders or nanoparticules, thermal plasmas are fundamental in processing of materials and in ...

Linear Induction Motor (LIM) has been identified as a key element for electromagnetic launching technology. The stator part of the motor when energized induces a linearly moving magnetic field which consequently produces a thrust force on the rotor part of the motor. Thus it accelerates ... En savoir plus
Chipmakers widely use the plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) technique for depositing thin dielectric or conducting films on wafers. The primary objective for a deposition process is to have a good flow and species uniformity on the wafer. Typically, a carefully designed ... En savoir plus
