Patent number: 12148802Abstract: A driver circuit for a three-dimensional (3D) memory device has a field management structure electrically coupled to a gate conductor. The field management structure causes an electric field peak in a vertical channel of the 3D memory device when a voltage differential exists between the source conductor and the drain conductor and the gate conductor is not biased. The electrical field peak can adjust the electrical response of the driver circuit, enabling the circuit to have a higher breakdown threshold voltage and improved drive current. Thus, the driver circuit can enable a scalable vertical string driver that is above the memory array instead of under the memory array circuitry.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2020Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: Intel NDTM US LLCInventors: Dong Ji, Guangyu Huang, Deepak Thimmegowda

Patent number: 12127446Abstract: A display device includes a substrate including a plurality of sub-pixels, a first buffer layer on the substrate, an etch stopper on the first buffer layer, a second buffer layer covering the first buffer layer, and a first transistor on the second buffer layer. The first transistor includes a source electrode and a drain electrode overlapping the etch stopper. The etch stopper includes a hole in which at least one of the source electrode and the drain electrode is disposed. The etch stopper is spaced apart from the source electrode and the drain electrode. Therefore, it is possible to prevent moisture and impurities from penetrating into a display device by protecting a buffer layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2021Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: LG Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: SeongPil Cho, JunSeuk Lee, YongBin Kang, HeeJin Jung, Jangdae Kim, Dongyup Kim, WonHo Son, Chanho Kim
