Abstract: A secondary battery includes an electrode assembly having a positive electrode provided with a positive electrode tab, a separator, and a negative electrode provided with a negative electrode tab, the positive electrode, the separator, and the negative electrode being wound, the electrode assembly having a core part at a center thereof; a can configured to receive the electrode assembly therein, the negative electrode tab being connected to the can; a cap assembly coupled to an opening of the can, the positive electrode tab being connected to the cap assembly; and a reinforcing member provided on an end of the separator exposed beyond the positive electrode or the negative electrode to prevent heat of the positive electrode tab or the negative electrode tab from being transferred to the separator.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device may include a substrate including a cell region and a peripheral region defined around the cell region, and a gate structure which may include sequentially stacked first, second, and third conductive layers including different materials, the first conductive layer including polysilicon. A capping layer may be on the third conductive layer, and a spacer may be on a sidewall of each of the first to third conductive layers and the capping layer. A first contact may extend through the capping layer and into the third conductive layer, with the first contact in contact with the second conductive layer, and separated from the first conductive layer. The first contact may include a first portion in the third conductive layer and a second portion in the capping layer. A width of the first portion may be greater than a width of the second portion in a horizontal direction.
