  • Patent number: 8420987
    Abstract: Provided are a thermistor with 3 terminals, a thermistor-transistor including the thermistor, a circuit for controlling heat of a power transistor using the thermistor-transistor, and a power system including the circuit. The circuit includes: a thermistor-transistor which comprises a thermistor having a resistance decreasing with an increase in temperature and a control transistor connected to the thermistor; and at least one power transistor which is connected to a driving device to control a supply of power to the driving device, wherein the thermistor-transistor is adhered to one of a surface and a heat-emitting part of the at least one power transistor and is connected to one of a base, a gate, a collector, and a drain of the at least one power transistor to decrease or block a current flowing in the at least one power transistor when the temperature of the at least one power transistor rises, so as to prevent the power transistor from heating up.

  • Publication number: 20100209623
    Abstract: Provided is a technology for in-situ growing a large area VO2 thin film which is an MIT material without using a conductive adhesive for high temperatures such as a silver paste. Generally, when a VO2 thin film, which is an MIT material, is grown using a PLD or sputtering method under a high temperature, a conductive adhesive is used to improve thermal conduction. However, the thin film may be contaminated by the conductive adhesive and the conductive adhesive should be removed after growing the thin film. Therefore, adherence between the substrate and the surface of a heater when growing the thin film needs to be improved, and thus, a large area VO2 thin film growing apparatus which may grow the large area VO2 thin film easily and a method of growing the large area VO2 thin film are provided.
