Device for indirectly cooling battery module of eco-friendly vehicle

Номер: US0009728825B2
Принадлежит: Hyundai Motor Company, HYUNDAI MOTOR CO LTD

A device for indirectly cooling a battery module of an eco-friendly vehicle is provided that cools the battery module using an interfacial plate into which a heat pipe is inserted to maximize battery heat emission performance and simultaneously prevent degradation of battery performance. A thermally-conductive interfacial plate in which a heat pipe is embedded by over-molding is disposed between battery cells and a heat sink, which is a condensation unit, integrally connected to an upper end of the heat pipe is disposed in a cooling air flow path to improve contact strength between the interfacial plate and the battery cells. A planar heat emitter is disposed between the battery cells where the interfacial plate is not disposed to heat the battery to a proper-level temperature in a cold-start environment and a low-temperature environment, thereby improving battery performance and preventing degradation in vehicle power.

Shadow-effect compensated fabrication of magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) semiconductor elements is disclosed. Providing shadow-effect compensated fabrication of MTJ elements can provide reduced free layer sizing for enhanced MTJ operational margin. In certain aspects, to reduce size of a free layer during fabrication of an MTJ to provide enhanced write and retention symmetry, ion beam etching (IBE) fabrication process is employed to fabricate a free layer smaller than the pinned layer. To avoid asymmetrical footing being fabricated in free layer due to shadow-effect of neighboring MTJs, an ion beam directed at the MTJ is shadow-effect compensated. The angle of incidence of the ion beam directed at the MTJ is varied as the MTJ is rotated to be less steep when another MTJ is in directional line of the ion beam and the MTJ being fabricated. Thus, the free layer is etched more uniformly in the MTJ while avoiding increased etching damage.
