  • Publication number: 20140224309
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a thin-film compound solar cell having an n-type buffer layer formed therein for providing a heterojunction with a p-type compound semiconductor light absorbing layer formed on a back electrode by applying a chemical bath deposition (CBD) process using an aqueous solution for dipping the light absorbing layer to deposit particles on the surface thereof. In this process, the temperature of the solution is controlled from low to high to increase sizes of the particles to be deposited on the light absorbing layer so as to form the buffer layer which possesses a high optical transmittance, tight adherence to the light absorbing layer and conformity with the transparent electrode formed thereon even if it would be made of InS material generally possessing a small bandgap and hard to pass light of short wavelengths.

  • Patent number: 8750052
    Abstract: A memory includes a sense amplifier connected to one or more of bit lines and configured to sense data stored in the memory cells; and a word line driver configured to control a voltage of one or more of word lines. The memory cells constitute a memory block. The memory cells constitute a memory block being a unit of memory cells on which a data erasing operation is performed. A controller changes an erase condition during the data erasing operation performed on the memory block or a verify condition for a verify check of verifying whether the data has been erased from the memory cells in the memory block, in proportion to a ratio of number of predetermined logical value data to the data in the memory block or the page before the data erasing operation.

  • Patent number: 8593087
    Abstract: If there is static friction, the magnetic pole position estimation is completed at the time when error torque used for magnetic pole position estimation becomes less than the friction, so that there remains magnetic pole error. A problem has been that when the error torque becomes less than a forward static friction, there remains a positive magnetic pole deviation and when the error torque becomes less than a backward static friction, there remains a negative magnetic pole deviation. By shifting in the negative direction and the positive direction initial values for estimating a magnetic pole error in operation sets, a true pole-error estimation value is estimated in the use of a pole-error estimation value having a positive magnetic pole error obtained by the positive shift operation and a negative one obtained by the negative shift operation, which can reduce estimation error due to the static friction.
