A flip chip type of light-emitting semiconductor device using group III nitride compound includes a thick positive electrode. The positive electrode, which is made of at least one of silver (Ag), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd), and an alloy including at least one of these metals, is adjacent to a p-type semiconductor layer, and reflect light toward a sapphire substrate. Accordingly, a positive electrode having a high reflectivity and a low contact resistance can be obtained. A first thin-film metal layer, which is made of cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni), or any combinations of including at least one of these metals, formed between the p-type semiconductor layer and the thick electrode, can improve an adhesion between an contact layer and the thick positive electrode. A thickness of the first thin-film metal electrode should be preferably in the range of 2 Å to 200 Å, more preferably 5 Å to 50 Å. A second thin-film metal layer made of gold (Au) can further improve the adhesion.

The bridge structure may be formed with at least one opening penetrating the connecting plate so as to face the surface passivation film with a predetermined space.

An ionizer includes positive and negative wire electrodes each formed of a conductive wire with a circular cross section. The wire electrodes are arranged in parallel with each other, each having circumferential surfaces serving as a discharge surface on which a corona discharge occurs upon application of positive and negative high voltages for discharging positive and negative ions.

A pouch-type lithium secondary battery including: a battery unit comprising a positive electrode plate, a separator, and a negative electrode plate, wherein the separator is disposed between the positive and negative electrode plates; electrode tabs extending from each of the positive and negative electrode plates of the battery unit, respectively; a case having a space to accommodate the battery unit and sealing surfaces formed along the periphery of the space, wherein the case is sealed at the sealing surfaces by thermal fusion; and a protection circuit board 600 electrically connected to the electrode tabs. The protection circuit board is disposed parallel to an outer wall of the case. Since the electrode tabs are bent in an upright position with respect to the sealing surfaces, and the protection circuit board electrically connected to the bent electrode tabs is disposed between the outer wall of the case and the electrode tabs, the size of the sealing surfaces of the case can be minimized.

An electrode for an electrosurgical unit is used for ablating and necrosing a living tissue by RF electric energy. The electrode can be a hollow electrode formed in an elongated hollow tube shape, including a non-insulating region of a predetermined length formed on one side, and an insulating region formed on an outer surface other than the non-insulating region. The electrode further can include a saline solution circulation structure that supplies pressurized saline solution for cooling a living tissue which is in contact with the hollow electrode from the outside of the living tissue to the inside of the hollow electrode, and one or more saline solution discharge holes formed in the non-insulating region of the hollow electrode to discharge some of the circulating pressurized saline solution to the living tissue.

Within an intermediate vacuum chamber next to an ionization chamber maintained at atmospheric pressure, an electrode group of a radio-frequency carpet composed of a plurality of concentrically arranged ring electrodes is placed before a skimmer, with its central axis coinciding with that of an ion-passing hole. Each ring electrode has a circular radial sectional shape. Radio-frequency voltages with mutually inverted phases are applied to the ring electrodes neighboring each other in the radial direction. Additionally, a different level of direct-current voltage is applied to each ring electrode to create a potential which is sloped downward from the outer ring electrode to the inner ring electrode. The circular cross section of the electrode produces a steep pseudo-potential near the electrode and thereby increases the repulsive force which acts on the ions to repel them from the electrode.

A ceramic electrode structure designed to have an enhanced construction, wherein an induction electrode has an area larger than that of a discharge electrode. A high square pulse voltage is applied to the enhanced ceramic electrode structure, thereby increasing an efficiency of ion generation and effectively restricting generation of ozone.
