Patent number: 10069097Abstract: An inverted-structure light-emitting element is provided. One embodiment of the invention disclosed in this specification is a light-emitting element including a cathode, a layer serving as a buffer over the cathode, an electron-injection layer over the layer serving as a buffer, a light-emitting layer over the electron-injection layer, and an anode over the light-emitting layer. The electron-injection layer includes an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal. The layer serving as a buffer includes an electron-transport material. In the inverted-structure light-emitting element, contact of the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal included in a material of the electron-injection layer with the already formed cathode increases the driving voltage of an EL element and reduces emission efficiency. This problem becomes prominent particularly when the cathode includes an oxide conductive film. To prevent this, the layer serving as a buffer is provided between the cathode and the electron-injection layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2015Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Riho Kataishi, Toshiki Sasaki, Satoshi Seo

Patent number: 10068772Abstract: A recess channel semiconductor non-volatile memory (NVM) device is disclosed. The recess channel MOSFET devices by etching into the silicon substrate for the device channel have been applied to advanced DRAM process nodes. The same etching process of the recess channel MOSFET device is applied to form the recess channel semiconductor NVM device. The tunneling oxides are grown on silicon surface after the recess channel hole etching process. The storing material is deposited into the recess channel holes with coupling dielectrics on top of the storing material. The gate material is then deposited and etched to form the control gate. Owing to the recess channel embedded below the silicon substrate, the scaling challenges such as gate channel length, floating gate interference, high aspect ratio for gate stack etching, and the mechanical stability of gate formation for the semiconductor NVM device can be significantly reduced.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2015Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Flashsilicon IncorporationInventor: Lee Wang
