  • Publication number: 20240186331
    Abstract: To provide a miniaturized semiconductor device with low power consumption. A method for manufacturing a wiring layer includes the following steps: forming a second insulator over a first insulator; forming a third insulator over the second insulator; forming an opening in the third insulator so that it reaches the second insulator; forming a first conductor over the third insulator and in the opening; forming a second conductor over the first conductor; and after forming the second conductor, performing polishing treatment to remove portions of the first and second conductors above a top surface of the third insulator. An end of the first conductor is at a level lower than or equal to the top level of the opening. The top surface of the second conductor is at a level lower than or equal to that of the end of the first conductor.

  • Publication number: 20240164166
    Abstract: A semiconductor device having a light detection function and including a high-resolution display portion is provided. The semiconductor device is a display apparatus including a light-emitting device, a light-receiving device, and a substrate. The light-emitting device includes a first electrode, a light-emitting layer, a first electron-transport layer, an electron-injection layer, and a second electrode stacked in this order over the substrate. The light-receiving device includes a third electrode, an active layer, a first hole-transport layer, the electron-injection layer, and the second electrode stacked in this order over the substrate. The first electrode is supplied with a first potential. The second electrode is preferably supplied with a second potential lower than the first potential. The third electrode is preferably supplied with a third potential higher than the second potential.

  • Patent number: 11971633
    Abstract: An electrode structure includes: a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged separately from each other; and a plurality of dielectric layers laminated in a first direction with respect to the plurality of pixel electrodes, in which the plurality of dielectric layers includes: a first dielectric layer that spreads over the plurality of pixel electrodes in a direction intersecting with the first direction; and a second dielectric layer that includes dielectric material having a refractive index higher than that of the first dielectric layer, sandwiches the first dielectric layer together with the plurality of pixel electrodes, and has a slit at a position overlapping space between pixel electrodes adjacent when viewed from the first direction.
