Abstract: The present invention relates to a thin film transistor and a fabricating method thereof wherein a source/drain region and a gate electrode are formed in the same layer, which improves the degree of planarization. Because source/drain electrodes and a gate electrode are formed by patterning the same layer with a single mask, the invention reduces the number of fabrication steps. The TFT includes an insulated substrate which is transparent, a source electrode and a drain electrode on the insulated substrate. The source and drain electrodes are separated each other, and a gate electrode is between the source and drain electrodes on the insulated substrate. A gate insulating layer covers the source and drain electrodes and the gate electrodes on the gate insulating layer. An active layer is then formed on the gate insulating layer. Source and drain regions are formed at each end of the active layer corresponding to the gate electrode and a channel region is formed between the source and drain regions.

Abstract: A method for preventing a collision of an extended orthogonal code uses an extended orthogonal code applying a hadamard code, and prevents an extended orthogonal code's collision occurred by a duplicated address among a plurality of subscriber channels, in a wideband code division multiple access wireless local loop (WCDMA-WLL) communication system. The method effectively prevents an address collision among a plurality of channels in case that the channels having different data transmission speeds are simultaneously transmitted by using one WCDMA-WLL frequency. As a result, when a plurality of subscribers is divided by using an extended orthogonal code in a WCDMA-WLL system supporting a multiple-data transmission speed, the method prevents an allocation of a collidable matrix code. Also, the method prevents an error generated in dividing subscriber channels caused by a code collision, and thus enhances a reliability and a stability of a communication system.
