  • Patent number: 9257544
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes semiconductor layers of a first conductivity-type and a second conductivity-type stacked on a silicon carbide semiconductor and having differing impurity concentrations. Trenches disposed penetrating the semiconductor layer of the second conductivity-type form a planar striped pattern; and a gate electrode is disposed therein through a gate insulation film. First and second semiconductor regions respectively of the first and the second conductivity-types have impurity concentrations exceeding that of the semiconductor layer of the second conductivity-type and are selectively disposed therein. The depth of the second semiconductor region exceeds that of the semiconductor layer of the second conductivity-type, but not that of the trenches. The second semiconductor region is arranged at given intervals along the length of the trenches.

  • Patent number: 9231038
    Abstract: EL display has a luminescence unit having a luminescence layer being disposed between a pair of electrodes and a thin film transistor array unit controlling luminescence of the luminescence unit. An interlayer insulation film is disposed between the luminescence unit and the transistor array unit. An anode of the luminescence unit is connected electrically to the thin film transistor array via a contact hole of the interlayer insulation film. The thin film transistor array further has a current supplying relaying electrode that is connected to the anode of the luminescence unit via the contact hole of the interlayer insulation film. A diffusion prevention film is formed on the boundary face of the anode of the luminescence unit and the relaying electrode.

  • Patent number: 9190572
    Abstract: A light emitting diode includes: a substrate; a light-emitting epitaxial layer, from bottom to up, laminated by semiconductor material layers of a first confinement layer, a light-emitting layer and a second confinement layer over the substrate; a current blocking layer over partial region of the light-emitting epitaxial layer; a transparent conducting structure over the current blocking layer that extends to the light-emitting epitaxial layer surface and is divided into a light-emitting region and a non-light-emitting region, in which, the non-light-emitting region corresponds to the current blocking layer with thickness larger than that of the light-emitting region, thus forming a good ohmic contact between this structure and the light-emitting epitaxial layer and reducing light absorption; and a P electrode over the non-light-emitting region of the transparent conducting structure, which guarantees current spreading performance and reduces working voltage and light absorption.

  • Patent number: 9070736
    Abstract: A p-type thin-layer along a side wall surface of a V-shaped groove reaching the bottom portion of a p-type isolation layer from the back surface of an n? semiconductor substrate, couples a p-type collector layer with the p-type isolation layer. A collector electrode contacts the surfaces of the p-type collector layer and the p-type thin-layer. The collector electrode is formed by laminating an Al—Si film, a barrier layer, a nickel-based metal film, and a gold-based metal film in sequence from the n? semiconductor substrate side. The Al—Si film contacting the surface of the p-type collector layer is in a range of 1.1 to 3.0 ?m in thickness. The Al—Si film contacting the surface of the p-type thin-layer is in a range of 0.55 to 1.5 ?m in thickness. A rise in leak current caused by aluminum spiking is eliminated or suppressed, and solder joining including tin is made easier.
