  • Patent number: 11245008
    Abstract: The present application provides a TFT, a manufacturing method thereof, and a sensor. The TFT includes a substrate, and a source, a drain and an active layer on the substrate. The active layer includes a microchannel, and the thin film transistor is configured to detect a sample in the microchannel. When a sample to be detected enters the microchannel, the electron distribution in the active layer would be affected, which causes fluctuations in the TFT characteristics. By detecting such fluctuations, detecting the composition and property of the liquid to be detected may be achieved. Moreover, by virtue of the microchannel, the sample may be precisely controlled. The impact of the external environment may be reduced and the detection accuracy can be enhanced. Continuous monitoring instead of one-time detection of the sample may be achieved and the sample detection efficiency may be improved.

  • Patent number: 11227995
    Abstract: A ReRAM device manufactured using 2-D Si2Te3 (silicon telluride) nanowires or nanoplates. The Si2Te3 nanowires exhibit a unique reversible resistance switching behavior driven by an applied electrical potential, which leads to switching of the NWs from a high-resistance state (HRS) to a low-resistance state (LRS). This switched LRS is highly stable unless the opposite potential is applied to switch the resistance back. This provides a new class of resistive switching based on semiconductor rather than dielectric materials. In several embodiments, the polarity of the initially applied potential along the Si2Te3 nanowires defines the switch “on” and “off” directions, which become permanent once set.
