Abstract: A structure with a transistor is disclosed comprising a substrate, a gas barrier layer on the substrate, and a transistor on the gas barrier layer. The transistor can include an oxide semiconductor layer. The oxide semiconductor layers can comprise In—Ga—Zn—O. A display, such as a liquid crystal display, can have such a structure.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory device and a method of fabricating the same are provided. In the non-volatile memory device, at least one first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type may be formed spaced apart from each other on a portion of a substrate. A plurality of first resistance variation storage layers may contact first sidewalls of each of the at least one first semiconductor layer. A plurality of second semiconductor layers of a second conductivity type, opposite to the first conductivity type, may be interposed between the first sidewalls of each of the at least one first semiconductor layer and the plurality of first resistance variation storage layers. A plurality of bit line electrodes may be connected to each of the plurality of first resistance variation storage layers.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a technology of controlling a threshold voltage of a thin film transistor in which an amorphous oxide film is applied to a channel layer. There is provided a semiconductor apparatus including a plurality of kinds of transistors, each of the plurality of kinds of transistors including a channel layer made of an amorphous oxide containing a plurality of kinds of metal elements; and threshold voltages of the plurality of kinds of transistors are different from one another by changing an element ratio of the amorphous oxide.

Abstract: The present invention is an electronic interconnect comprising a bond pad consisting essentially of aluminum and copper and configured for use in semiconductor electronic devices to couple a bond wire to an integrated circuit package. The bond pad has an oxide coating residing on at least a topmost surface of the bond pad. The oxide coating consists essentially of aluminum, copper, and oxygen. Therefore, the bond pad has little, if any, naturally occurring corrosion products such as hydrated aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) and/or Al2Cu particles. Al(OH)3 films and Al2Cu particles have been shown to form on aluminum copper bond pads, preventing effective wire-bonding.
