Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for forming thin film transistor structures having a multilayer and/or concentration gradient gate dielectric. Such a gate dielectric can be used, to tune the performance and/or reliability of the transistor. According to some such embodiments, memory structures having thin film transistor (TFT) structures are arranged in a two-dimensional array within one or more interconnect layers and stacked in a vertical direction such that multiple tiers of memory structure arrays are formed within the interconnect region. Any of the given TFT structures may include a multilayer and/or graded gate dielectric that includes at least two or more different dielectric layers and/or a material concentration gradient through a thickness of the gate dielectric.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device that assists a user in positioning a tow vehicle next to a trailer such that the hitch component affixed to the tow vehicle aligns properly with, and connects easily to, the hitch component affixed to the trailer. This invention particularly relates to a laser guided alignment apparatus that aligns a hitch component mounted on a tow vehicle to a trailer with either a bumper ball or gooseneck hitch.
