Discoveries of Ukrainian Scientists

Today one can find semi-conductors of appointed materials. Their resistance should be between the resistance of a conductor and a non-conductor. The electrical resistance of semiconductors also depends on variations of temperature or added “impurities”.
The material is known to have dashes if some other substances have been put to it. Semi-conductors are defined as diodes of type-n or type-t according to the type of finished mixture.
Diodes as well as transistors are produced of these 2 types of semiconductors. Today silicon is surely turning into the most popular material for making semi-conductors.
Semi-conductor material is needed to get diodes which are good for putting the stream of electrical current just in one sense. In every diode there is a component produced of positive and negative constructions (written as p- and n-) and of so-called barrier level (or pn-transfer). Diodes make electrical schemes transforming among direct and alternating electrical current. Only half of the period or cycle is to pass by as diodes let current flow only in one direction. Specialists name such a junction a rectifier.
Speaking of the light diodes known as LED, they are used to generate light at little voltages not generating warmth. Today developers have LED light diodes as the light showing the on mode of various electronic equipment.
The popularity of thyristors manufactures was governed by Moore’s law. What is the main side to make complicated power semi-conductor equipment at smaller prices? That’s lithography. As optical lithography is already actual no more, there’s now a tendency for other techniques. It is now gradually being replaced by more up-to-date ultraviolet lithography and nano-imprint lithography. X-ray lithography and electron beam lithography today are also thought to be of big potential. Such a useful thing as current sensors was first constructed in Russia. Specialists apply those sensors to do lots of tasks in any conditions. The igbt modules meet their use in commercial, manufacture and everyday applications. The sensors can be of any value and shape. Like those motion detectors signaling on the lights or maybe radiation counters.
It’s anyway no chance for the current sensors to work alone. There are numerous destinations for applying power system controllers. They are necessary to control system properties like voltage, frequency, power flow, to observe the state of circuit breakers in dependent station and the planned interchange of power with the neighboring power systems. System alarms and the processes against them are also under their constant control.
The controllers work correctly in all these occasions if they are provided with a full snap-shot of the power system. The data is delivered from some PCs in different substations. The scientists of the RTU were the pioneers to develop sub-station level data acquisition such as state of CB’s, fuses holders, isolators and analog values such as MW, Hz, etc. The biggest part in export is the prerogative of Russia and China.
