SEMINAR ON IGBTs: NEW HORIZONS
September 4, 2004, at Electron Beam Center,
CBD Belapur, Navi
Mumbai - 400 614
India.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Transistors (IGBTs) have made a remarkable
advent in the field of power electronics and are replacing other devices in
this industry.
IGBTs are minority carrier devices, with
superior conduction characteristics, sharing features of power MOSFETs, such as peak current capability, ease of
drive, wide SOA, avalanche and dV/dt capability.
New lines of IGBTs shows switching
characteristics close to those of power MOSFETs,
without sacrificing their inherent advantages. IGBTs
have found wide applications in power converters, inverters, pulsed
modulators, SMPS, modular HVDC power supplies, traction equipment, UPS,
etc. In view of the widespread use of IGBTs in
power electronics, it is proposed to conduct a one day Seminar on, " IGBTs: NEW HORIZONS " at Electron Beam
Center, CBD Belapur. The Seminar will be organized by The Power
Beam Society Of India (PSI)
The Seminar will address the various aspects of IGBTs
namely, manufacturing process, characterization, drive circuits, controls,
protection techniques and scientific applications. It is aimed at engineers
and technologists working in research & development centers,
educational institutions and industries, currently involved in the IGBT
based technology. The seminar will consist of lectures by eminent
scientists, engineers and specialists in the field.
The Seminar will provide a platform for engineers, active researchers
and students to interact and have fruitful discussions with experts and familarise themselves with the knowledgebase available
in the country and abroad.
TOPICS
Ø Manufacturing Process and Characterization
Ø Drive, Control and Protection Circuits
Ø Usefulness of IGBTs in High Power Converters
Ø IGBTs for UPS and Inverters
The talks will focus on the state of art manufacturing processes, design
strategies, circuit development and evaluation of IGBTs.
DATE & VENUE
THE seminar is scheduled on September 4, 2004. It will be held at
Seminar Hall, Electron Beam Center, Raintree Marg, Sector 7, CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai - 400 614, India.

POWER BEAM SOCIETY OF INDIA (PSI)
Power Beam Society of India is a nonprofit organization formed to
promote the development and growth of Power Beams and Materials Processing.
Its main objective is to bring about constructive synergy between industry
and academic institutions working in this newly emerging high technology
area. This society was formed in September 2002 at Mumbai. The office of
the society is located at the Electron Beam Centre Kharghar,
Navi Mumbai. Further information about the
society is available at http://www.powerbeam.org
Electron Beam Centre (EBC):
To enhance the scope of research & development in the area of
electron beam material processing, BARC/DAE is setting up this centre. The
Centre is located at Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, at a distance of about 25 km from BARC and
is spread over a land of about 3 acres. It will house two electron
accelerators namely, a 3 MeV/30 kW and a 10 MeV/10 kW and has been suitably
equipped even to take care of the future advancements in this field. Once
operational, it will be a unique and novel centre exclusively devoted to
the cause of Industrial Accelerators & their Applications.

DAE-BRNS WORKSHOP ON
PLASMA SURFACE ENGINEERING
September 23 - 25, 2004, at Multidisciplinary Hall, BARC Training School
Hostel, Anushaktinagar, Mumbai - 400094
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
In modern times, a product designer is free to choose the material best
suitable for the end use by its physical properties and cost. Then he uses
processes to modify only the surface for optimum performance without
compromising the properties of the bulk material. It is beyond doubt that
plasma-based surface modification techniques will be a toolbox of
technologies, which can provide solutions to a wide range of material and
application related problems. The charged particles, excited neutrals and
radicals and the radiation in the plasma medium react with surfaces of
materials in contact resulting in dramatic improvement in the surface
properties.
Depending on the method of generation and operating pressures, plasmas
can have different properties and can be classified as atmospheric-pressure
thermal plasmas and low-pressure non-equilibrium plasmas (low gas
temperature but high electron energies). The high enthalpy thermal plasmas
and the high electron temperature low pressure plasmas have their own
advantages and find applications in the areas of materials processing and
surface modifications.
In recent years, rapid progress has been made on coatings, thin films
and functional surface treatments by utilizing plasmas. It is hoped that
this workshop will provide an opportunity for active researchers,
scientists and industries to review the current scenario, to report recent
results, to share the available expertise and to consider future
development directions in Plasma Surface Engineering. There will be review
and invited talks by eminent engineers and scientists with long years of
practical experience in this field. The lectures will cover a wide spectrum
of issues including plasma sources, deposition processes, coating
characterization, performance assessment and applications. It is also
planned to have a special feedback session where industry will have an
opportunity to highlight specific issues of their interest. Some of the
participants will be invited to make short presentations of their work.
MAIN TOPICS
It is envisaged that the workshop program will include the following :
• Surface Modifications by
Low Pressure Plasmas (DC, RF and Microwave Plasma Processing)
• Surface Modifications
by Thermal Plasmas (Plasma sprayed coatings, Jet plasma based processes,
Wire Arc Spray processes)
