    Abstract: A voltage sag and over-voltage compensation device for an AC electric power distribution system employing cascaded switching devices and a pulse-width modulated transformer. Each stage of the cascaded switching device includes a switching element located within a full-bridge rectifier circuit to allow bi-directional switching through each switching element (i.e., switching through the same switching element during the positive and negative portions of the AC voltage cycle). Each full-bridge rectifier also includes a snubber circuit connected in parallel with a corresponding switching element to absorb the current discharge caused by switching the input power supply to the transformer through the corresponding switching device under non-zero current conditions. On the output side, the voltage sag and over-voltage compensation device includes a filter capacitor to smooth the voltage-corrected AC power supply toward a sinusoidal power supply at the system frequency, and a notch filter to remove noise created by the switching elements.

    Abstract: An improved method for forming a capacitor which is capable of increasing cell capacitance is disclosed. The capacitor easily formed a sequential two-step etching processes. The two-step etching include a selectively etching to form the contact hole for exposing an etch stop layer between gate electrodes, and an isotopically dry etching to maximize capacitor surface area without cleaning process after the selectively etching, an interlayer insulating layer being patterned in a manner which produces inner interlayer contact sidewalls having standing wave ripples and removes the exposed etch stop layer. As a result, it is found that the capacitor which is obtained by a simple and easy two-step dry etching exhibits an increased capacitor surface area. Furthermore, it is possible to form the stacked capacitor having sufficiently high storage capacitance without increasing the contact resistance.
