An experiment on non-inductive plasma current start-up by electron cyclotron (EC) heating and current drive (ECH/ECCD) has been carried out on KSTAR by injecting the fundamental O-mode wave from the low-field side obliquely to the toroidal magnetic field. A plasma current up to 14.5 kA is generated by 180 kW of 84 GHz microwave power and the magnetic measurement shows the formation of a large last-closed flux surface with a diameter of 0.4 m. The soft x-ray emission profile and fast CCD images also support the existence of closed flux surfaces. The current of the cross-field-passing electrons (CFPEs) is calculated according to the paper Nucl. Fusion 52 083008 in these experimental conditions, and it is shown that a CFPE current can produce the initial closed flux surfaces. The observed large increase of EC emission supports the generation of energetic electrons, like CFPEs. After the formation of the closed flux surfaces, the pressure-driven current and CFPE current do not flow in the closed flux surfaces. EC-driven current should flow in these surfaces and ramp up the plasma current. It is estimated that an EC-driven current of about one third of the total plasma current flows in the closed flux surface at the last stage.
